Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Gamble
“Make sure that you don’t do anything that will embarrass your sister or me.”

Zhai Haidong pursed her lips when her mother said those words to her. Clearly, she had done nothing wrong; it was Zhao Zuo who snatched her blueprint and presented it as her own.

And just because her sister was much more slick with her words, compared to her, her mother had believed Zhai Zuo much more easily than her.

Even when Zhai Haidong tried to tell her mother that it wasn’t her sister but she who created the blueprint, her mother actually scolded her and said that she was lying to gain her attention and that she didn’t expect Zhai Haidong to do such a thing.

Ever since then, Zhai Haidong had been suppressed by Zhai Zuo.

To make things worse, Zhai Zuo’s daddy was her mother’s precious white moonlight. Thus, her elder sister was treated much better than she was. No matter whether Zhai Zuo was in the wrong or right, her mother would simply support her sister.

She clenched her fists, wondering what to do for her mother to trust her.

Mother Zhai didn’t even pay attention to Zhai Haidong; instead, she turned to look at Zhai Zuo, who came to stand next to her with a sullen look on her face.

“What’s the matter?” Mother Zhao asked when she saw that her daughter was frowning unhappily. “Did someone say something to you?”

“Who else but Luo Huian?” Zhai Zuo sneered as she crossed her arms in front of her and muttered angrily, “That woman really doesn’t know what is good for her. I listened to your advice, Mother, and went to talk with her. Even though she had been nothing but rude and arrogant towards me, I still talked with her politely and tried to befriend her but she actually flipped me off and called me stupid.”

“What did she do such a thing for?” Mother Zhai was scandalous when she heard her daughter’s words. When Zhai Haidong heard Mother Zhai believing Zhai Zuo’s words without questioning her in the slightest, she sneered.

She knew that Mother Zhai was biased but she never thought that she was this biased. Couldn’t her mother see that Zhai Zuo was lying? Zhai Zuo lowered her head and tried to befriend Luo Huian? Why did Zhai Haidong find it laughable?

This woman was not someone who could lower her head and apologise to anyone!

Zhai Zuo, on the other hand, was pleased when she saw that her mother was willing to believe her. She shrugged her shoulders and then said with a sigh, “Who knows? Miss Luo Huian has become much more powerful and famous than she was in the past. I bet she thinks that people like us are not worthy of her.”

“Humph.” Mother Zhai snorted when she heard the words of her daughter. She pursed her lips and scowled in Luo Huian’s direction. “That girl just doesn’t know what is good for her.”

After she finished speaking, she patted Zhai Zuo on the shoulder and remarked, “There is no need for you to worry. Since she doesn’t want to talk to you, then there is no need for you to stick your hot face on her cold bottom. Compared to Luo Qingling, that woman is nothing.”

“I am good friends with Luo Qingling’s daddy—I will go and talk with her. Just wait; once Leader Qingling drags her through mud, let’s see how she will not show respect to you.”

After she finished speaking, she walked away without hesitation.

“You seem quite annoyed,” Zhai Zuo remarked as she looked at Zhai Haidong, who was watching their mother walk toward Qin Qiu. She glanced at Zhai Haidong and taunted, “But then again, you must be quite pissed at being treated as if you are invisible, right?”

Zhai Haidong glanced at Zhai Zuo, who was trying to provoke her. In the past, this trick was something that Zhai Zuo had used quite a number of times. As Zhai Haidong’s daddy passed away while giving birth to her, Mother Zhai treated Zhai Haidong as a jinx and suppressed her.

In the past, Zhai Haidong had a tender heart and she cared for her mother. She wanted to win the heart of her mother but after seeing how her mother supported Zhai Zuo, even though she somewhere knew that Zhai Zuo was not skilled enough to draw the blueprint of the tentative device that could detect jade inside the rocks that she had created.

But just because she was biased, Mother Zhai had ignored Zhai Haidong’s pleas. Ever since then, Zhai Haidong has lost all feelings towards her mother.

She curled her lips and sneered at Zhai Zuo, “I don’t know whether I am upset or not but I can see that you are quite angry at Miss Luo Huian for ignoring you. What’s wrong? Did she sense what kind of scum you are from miles away?”

“Zhai Haidong, you!” Zhai Zuo didn’t expect Zhai Haidong to mock her like this; she wanted to say something but Zhai Haidong interrupted her by saying, “Zhai Zuo, there is no need to be so smug about this little victory that you have got through scheming means. Don’t forget that the blueprint that you have stolen—it’s just a tentative one.”

“There is always a high chance that the device might not work in the first place! I will see how you will recreate and troubleshoot the problems.”

After she finished speaking, Zhai Haidong turned around on her feet and walked away, leaving Zhai Zuo to tremble in anger. In fact, she knew that there were some problems in the blueprint as the engineer had pointed those problems out to her and even actively asked her to come up with ways to deal with these problems.

However, Zhai Zuo was not the creator of that device. She had stolen the blueprint from Zhai Haidong’s room when their mother punished the latter.

She didn’t know what a good thing it was; she just wanted to mess with Zhai Haidong. Since she was a kid, Zhai Zuo had stolen everything that belonged to Zhai Haidong. No matter whether it was a doll or a candy, as long as Zhai Haidong liked it or owned it, Zhai Zuo would think of ways to snatch it from her.

When she grew up, she started stealing Zhai Haidong’s projects, homework, and boyfriends. As long as something belonged to Zhai Haidong, she would steal it, including the credits!

Thus, when she saw that blueprint, Zhai Zuo’s first thought was to steal it and present it in front of Mother Zhai as her own idea.
