In a series of exchanged glances, the true nature of the fake sisterhood was revealed among these women.
Where women gathered, there was bound to be a sense of competition.
Shen Yan’s striking appearance had always made them jealous, and her title as the “campus belle” only intensified their envy. With such a privileged family background, these female classmates put on smiling faces and showered her with flattery, but inside, they were bubbling with bitterness.
Why did she get to have all the good things in the world?
Back in school, Shen Yan was chauffeured in and out in luxury cars, dressed in designer labels. Some of them even speculated that the campus belle was being financially supported by a wealthy sugar daddy. However, soon enough, people in the know came forward to debunk the rumors, revealing that Shen Yan had a powerful family background and was not in need of anyone’s financial support.
Some believed, while others remained skeptical.
Of course, the skeptics were mostly female.
Before this, they unanimously assumed that Shen Yan’s family background was at best comfortably middle-class and never thought of her as part of the wealthy elite.
But when a Rolls-Royce brought them into such a luxurious mansion, everyone’s faces displayed expressions of disbelief. They exchanged glances, utterly dumbfounded.
Opulent decorations, exquisite furnishings, and a multitude of servants—by that time, most of them lost their composure.
Now, as Shen Yan faced embarrassment, they tried not to show it on their faces but secretly relished in watching the spectacle unfold.
Qi Ziehen’s astonishment and embarrassment did not disappoint them.
Shen Yan’s ever-changing complexion only added to her charm.
The crowd’s gossip-driven curiosity burned brightly as their gazes shifted between the two, filled with curiosity, astonishment, or mockery…
They all collectively overlooked the fact that the sound system had inexplicably been turned off.
Shen Wan glanced at the unplugged power cord she had accidentally kicked and then looked at the awkward pair standing not far away. It was as if she had accomplished something remarkable.
Zheng Jun, with a stiff expression, edged his way to Qi Ziehen’s side and gave him a tug.
After a moment, the young man realized the current situation and, belatedly, turned to look at Shen Yan with a somewhat apologetic expression. “Sor…” “I was just joking!” Shen Yan interrupted with a smile, blinking her eyes. “Did I scare you? Sorry, I noticed you were sitting here alone reading a book and not joining in our fun, so I wanted to tease you, and then…”
Qi Ziehen let out a long sigh. “It’s okay.”
The others made a concerted effort to hide their disappointment and approached Shen Yan, resuming their friendly chatter and laughter.
“Who’s so inconsiderate as to turn off the sound system?” Suddenly, someone blurted out.
In an instant, all eyes converged on the location of the sound system and then shifted right to focus on Shen Wan’s face.
“Who is this?”
“Not from our class…”
“Did Xiao Yan invite students from other majors?”
“Well… it seems like she didn’t come with us.”
“So tall and slim, she’s so fair!”
“She kicked the power cord, she must have come down from the spiral staircase.”
“Ah! Xiao Yan, is this your older sister?” A girl who shared a room with Shen Yan exclaimed, “She has a great figure!”
Shen Yan’s face turned abruptly dark. If she could, she would have liked to smack Shen Wan, that little bitch, into the ground, making her come out and embarrass herself in public, almost causing her to make a fool of herself…
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow and, in the face of various appraising gazes, didn’t flinch or avoid eye contact, appearing composed and at ease.
“No,” Qi Ziehen suddenly spoke up, responding to the girl’s question, “She is Xiao Yan’s younger sister.”
“Ah?” The girl awkwardly stuck out her tongue, “So Xiao Yan has a younger sister…” But she had clearly said that she was the youngest in her family, how could this…
Although Shen Yan wasn’t very clever, she knew that family secrets should not be revealed.
So, she kept her lips sealed and didn’t mention Shen Wan’s background at all.
“Why has everyone stopped? Let’s continue playing. If you want anything to eat or drink, just ask the servants to bring it. Treat it like your own home, don’t have to be polite.”
Just at that moment, the servant reconnected the plug, and the music once again filled the living room, accompanied by the unique deep bass rhythm of the sound system, pounding like a heavy hammer on their chests.
The atmosphere quickly became lively.
Shen Yan glanced at Qi Ziehen, who was oblivious, with a touch of bitterness on her lips, then lifted her feet and walked towards Shen Wan.
“You did it on purpose!” She lowered her voice, speaking at a volume only the two of them could hear, gritting her teeth.
“If you’re talking about kicking the power plug, it really wasn’t my doing.” “Don’t try to argue!”
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow, “Or are you suggesting that I ruined your confession?”
Upon hearing the word “confession,” the embarrassment that Shen Yan had just managed to suppress surged back. The excited yet discreet glances from the others, Qi Ziehen’s awkward and apologetic gaze, all flashed through her mind one by one, making her feel extremely embarrassed, as if she wanted to find a hole to hide in..
