Chapter 10   – Running away (4)

Judging from the age of the male lead, she’d have to pull all of her tricks to try and seduce Zhou Qinhe for two years before she would be able to officially marry into his wealthy family.

And that wasn’t even the happy ending, but a string of nonstop plotting and manipulation.

Granted, they would be able to enjoy luxurious and wasteful life for a good 20 years, but there’s a price associated with it.

In the end, one of them died in his prime years and the other one was sentenced to life imprisonment – Yan Shuyu didn’t think that was such a great trade.

Truth be told, seeing how handsome the male lead’s father was, along with his great skills and endurance, and that he was so filthy rich, Yan Shuyu had given it some thought to try to apply some first aids.

They were the official couple after all, she could easily just follow the script and marry him, start her life over again, and be a well-behaved, good stepmother – she had nothing against the male lead anyway.

It’d be more tiring to be plotting and manipulative day in and day out!

From reading the novel, Yan Shuyu knew that the male lead was a nice person deep down inside.

As long as she and her instant son didn’t try any crazy ideas, they should be able to get along amicably and, if she would take her shamelessness one step further, she just might be able to enjoy her golden years in this wealthy family.But now that she had met her instant son, Zhou Yuanjia, and had sorted out his plotline some more.

Yan Shuyu made the decisive determination to give up her impractical fantasy.

Comparing to the icy face but overall benevolence male lead, the real issue here was the seemingly refined and gentle but actually ruthless male lead’s father.

Dogs that don’t bark will bite.

He quietly plotted against everybody.

The original owner’s only wish from the very beginning was to give her son the best so he could stand on the top of the world.

Her dream was fulfilled the moment she married him.

And Zhang Yuanjia, who lost his own father since he was a child, had always truly viewed him as his real father and respected and looked up to him.

Yet, the male lead’s father used the weaknesses of the two and slowly grew their appetite, all the way until they had brought about their own death so as to complete the male lead’s training.

Come to think about it, the male lead must have also saw through this point, which was why he couldn’t get over it for the longest time.

The father that he had looked up to his entire life was so cold and calculating.

Who would be alright with that?

Yan Shuyu had a pretty good idea about this.

She was never the brightest, even if she could grow a few more brains she wouldn’t be able to be a match of the male lead’s father.

It was no small feat trying to take advantage of a capitalist.

If the original owner’s purpose was to get herself a meal ticket, her better bet should be an average rich guy.

All she needed was to be well-off, which would also be a lot less drama than that of a wealthy, prominent family.

And she would have all the time that she needed to cultivate her own son into a successful person in life.

After all, the novel mentioned that Zhou Yuanjia had once outshone the male lead.

Indicating that fact that he was quite talented himself.

She just needed to start cultivating him now one small step at a time, and she would be able to bank on him for her happy golden years.

Coming to this conclusion, Yan Shuyu was filled with joy.

And she even felt less distressed about having to walk away from the class A male god, and even full of motivation.

In order to clearly draw the line between them, she planned to pack up and move to a different city with her instant son.

Then it wouldn’t matter how powerful the script was anymore.
