To Bai Wenping, the necklace represented, quite simply, a huge wad of dollar bills.

The Bai’s had always been an average family. In recent years, through their alliance with the Yun family, they’d been able to grow their business.

But, compared to how wealthy the Yun’s were, the Bai family was still practically nothing.

Although Bai Wenping was still in university, he was constantly dreaming up ways to make tons of money.

Hua Shasha sent him a look, motioning for him to distract Yun Wei. That way, she’d be able to swap the necklaces and replace Yun Wei’s genuine necklace with the fake one in her bag.

Bai Wenping took Hua Shasha’s hint and immediately sat down facing Yun Wei to divert her attention.

Pretending not to suspect anything, Yun Wei smiled sweetly at Bai Wenping.

Bai Wenping’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Yun Wei’s charming smile.

Where looks were concerned, Yun Wei was enticingly pretty, classy, and elegant. Hua Shasha didn’t even come close to having any of those qualities.

However, when it came to picking up on another person’s emotional needs and working them for mutual benefit, or bedroom antics, Hua Shasha won hands down. Then again, Bai Wenping hadn’t even gotten the chance to even touch Yun Wei.

With that thought, he reached out to grab Yun Wei’s hand, scheming to get lucky this time.

Instinctively disgusted by Bai Wenping’s advances, Yun Wei didn’t even allow him to touch her, quickly slipping her hands into her pockets.

“Weiwei, come here. Give me your hand. I’ve got some candy for you…” Bai Wenping coaxed.

Sensing that he was still treating her like she was a halfwit, Yun Wei’s lips curled mischievously.

Her every gesture, from her inviting, flirtatious smile to the sudden curl of her lips, threw Bai Wenping into a frenzy.

In a super gentle and soothing voice, he said, “Weiwei, come here. Your Wenping has something very nice for you…”

Knowing full well that Bai Wenping had an ulterior motive, Yun Wei suddenly remembered the ring that Lu Zhanting had given her.

Keeping her hand in her pocket, she twisted the ring, flipping the barbs into her palm.

Then, very obediently, she willingly extended her hand to hold Bai Wenping’s, at the same time asking in a childlike manner, “Wenping, what nice things are you going to give me?”

Seeing her outstretched hand, Bai Wenping clamored to grab it with both hands to kiss it.

He quickly covered her hand in his. At the same time, Yun Wei pressed her ring with all her strength into his hand.

Instantly, the barbs on the self-defense ring stabbed into Bai Wenping’s palm.

He jumped as though he’d been electrocuted, yelling, “Yun Wei, what did you do?”

“Hehe, I didn’t do anything…” Yun Wei smiled adoringly, keeping up her act of being a silly idiot.

Bai Wenping looked at his palm, which was now a horrible, bloodied mess.

Hua Shasha also stood up in surprise and asked, “Yun Wei, what is that in your hand?”

“It’s a ring that Auntie Ji gave me. She said it was something for me to play with,” Yun Wei replied “halfwittedly.”

Furious at his palm being stabbed, Bai Wenping demanded, “What kind of rubbish is that? Throw it away now, quickly.”

“Boohoo, this is a present from Auntie Ji. I won’t throw it away,” Yun Wei wailed like a child, adding, “Wenping, you’re so mean to me. I’m scared. You were the one who wanted to hold my hand, boohoo, boohoo….”

Hua Shasha glared at Bai Wenping. “Bai Wenping, don’t even think of doing her on the side when you already have me.”

“Hey, wasn’t it you who wanted me to distract her?” Bai Wenping reasoned with her, asking, “Have you switched the necklaces out yet?”

Banking on the fact that Yun Wei wouldn’t have a clue what they were talking about, Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha didn’t even hesitate to openly discuss their scheme in front of her.

“The necklaces have been switched. We’ve got it!” Hua Shasha did a victory hoot.

Unaware that the necklace she’d had in her bag was actually the real one, Hua Shasha happily placed the fake one carefully in her bag.

She pulled out the genuine necklace and put it in Yun Wei’s hands. “Yun Wei,” she said, “I’m returning your necklace. Keep it safe. Don’t let the bad guys swindle it away from you.”
