Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha were horrified by what Yun Wei had just told them.

The Yun’s were a powerful and wealthy family with plenty of connections, and Yun Wei was their treasured princess. The only reason why Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha had dared to take advantage of her head injury in the first place was because Yun Wei was on her own at university, away from home.

Now, learning that someone from the Yun family was here, they were so petrified that their faces turned a ghostly white.

Yun Wei kept up the charade and continued talking like a halfwit. “It’s Auntie Ji. She’s delivering some jewelry to me. She said that it’s a special selection since my birthday is just around the corner.”

The Yun’s had been in the jewelry business for many generations and had an immense collection of jewelry in the family. Yun Wei would always get jewelry for her birthday every year.

Now that she was almost eighteen, she would get more and better jewelry.

Hua Shasha’s eyes instantly lit up. She said to Bai Wenping in a whisper, “Yun Wei’s going to get a lot of jewelry for her birthday. I want it for myself.”

“But someone from her family’s here. Are you sure that our secret’s safe? That no one will find out?” Bai Wenping asked worriedly.

Glancing at Yun Wei, all Hua Shasha saw was a halfwit idly playing with her fingers, completely oblivious to the goings-on between herself and Bai Wenping. She didn’t seem to comprehend what she and Bai Wenping were discussing.

Keeping her voice low, Hua Shasha said, “You stay out of it. Let me handle this. This Auntie Ji who’s been sent here isn’t even a member of her family. She’s just a caretaker. What’s there to worry about?”

Bai Wenping felt reassured and said, “Great. I’ll leave it to you, then.”

“So just sit back and wait for good news from me,” Hua Shasha said, giving Bai Wenping a flirtatious wink.

Bai Wenping tossed the bag in his hand to Yun Wei and said, “Your breakfast. I’m off now.”

Yun Wei, still acting like she was halfwitted, said sweetly, “Thank you Wenping.”

Yun Wei felt nauseous even just uttering Bai Wenping’s name. Yun Wei opened up the bag that Bai Wenping had thrust into her hands. There was a box of cheap cakes and a carton of brandless milk inside.

For three months, Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha had been fooling Yun Wei, giving her this cheap stuff to eat and drink.

Yun Wei instantly lost her appetite.

Hua Shasha tugged at Yun Wei’s hand and pulled her onto the sofa, asking, “Weiwei, where is Auntie Ji? When will the jewelry be delivered?”

Acting like a child, Yun Wei laughed innocently and in a carefree manner. It was as though she hadn’t recovered from her injury.

Laughing, she said, “Auntie Ji said that she’s going to bring me the most beautiful, most eye-catching diamond necklace. However, she said that I first have to hand over all the jewelry that I brought with me so that they can be sent for cleaning. Once the cleaning is done, she’ll have them sent back to me with the new necklace.”

Behaving as if she had no idea what was really going on, Yun Wei looked at Hua Shasha and said, “When the most beautiful necklace ever is delivered, I’ll let you wear it first! Because Shasha is the best!”

Ha Shasha was secretly pleased. This time, as she had done before, she’d be able to make a lot of money off Yun Wei.

But then Hua Shasha remembered that she had either sold or pawned all the jewelry that Yun Wei had brought with her from home and had spent all the money. She couldn’t help but panic.

Yun Wei pulled out her phone and showed Hua Shasha a photo of the diamond necklace that was to be delivered to her.

As she stared at the dazzling diamonds in the photo, Hua Shasha remembered that she had seen that necklace in an advertisement once before and that it was worth at least one hundred million dollars.

If she could scam the necklace from Yun Wei, it would be like she’d won the lottery!

Meanwhile, Yun Wei had been covertly observing Hua Shasha and, sensing that the timing was right, sent Auntie Ji a text message.

She had planned it all out with Auntie Ji the night before.

A short while after the text message was sent, Auntie Ji started knocking on the door.
