On the day Emily set off, the school had specially sent a car to pick them up. Because Shen Yu was two years older than Shen Nan and Emily, there was no way for them to be in the same car. This made Shen Yu gloomy for a long time. It was only after Shen Nan repeatedly promised to take good care of Emily that Shen Yu was finally relieved.
“Sit properly.” Shen Nan looked at Emily with a dark face. Ever since Emily got into the car, she had been extremely excited. The chair seemed to have nails on it, and she kept trying to walk towards Qi Yan.
Could it be that Qi Yan was more important than her brother?
Emily pouted unhappily. It was not easy for her to have a good friend. It was not easy for her to go out and play with her friends. However, Shen Nan had been controlling her like an old mother.
“Millie, just listen to Shen Nan. We’ll get out of the car together.”
Qi Yan heard Shen Nan reprimanding Emily and quickly turned her head to comfort her. Qi Yan carefully glanced at Shen Nan and quickly averted her gaze when she saw Shen Nan’s dark face.
Qi Yan could clearly feel that Shen Nan looked at her when she said this. Qi Yan suppressed the joy in her heart and smiled gently at Emily. She helped Shen Nan comfort Emily’s emotions.
Emily turned her face to the side. Seeing that Qi Yan was speaking for Shen Nan, Emily still did not intend to simply forgive Shen Nan. However, she did not want to argue with Shen Nan.
The school bus drove very steadily. In the midst of swaying, Emily finally could not bear the sleepiness and leaned on Shen Nan’s shoulder to fall asleep. Shen Nan tilted his head to look at Emily and shook his head helplessly. So what if Emily was smart? She was still a child. She was extremely willful.
Qi Yan was afraid that Emily would be bored, so she turned around to chat with Emily. However, she saw that Emily and Shen Nan were leaning against each other and sleeping very quietly. Qi Yan lowered her head dejectedly and bit her lips, trying hard to suppress the disappointment in her heart.
She slowly turned around and forced herself not to look at Emily and Shen Nan anymore. However, the hands that were clasped tightly on her legs betrayed her suppressed emotions.
“Eh? Student Emily and Shen Nan have such a good relationship.”
Sitting beside Qi Yan was their class monitor, Mu Qing. Mu Qing naturally saw Emily and Shen Nan leaning against each other. She could not help but click her tongue as a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.
“They are brother and sister. Of course they have a good relationship.” Qi Yan’s voice was very careful, as if she was trying to convince the people around her as well as herself.
“Brother and sister? Don’t be ridiculous, okay?”
Mu Qing’s gaze was even more disdainful. She leaned over and whispered into Qi Yan’s ear. “Didn’t you hear Qu Mo say that day? Emily is an orphan, adopted by the Shen family. She has no blood relationship with Shen Nan at all. Brother and sister? Aren’t they just saying brother and sister?”
Qi Yan was stunned. She felt as if her body was tied up. It was not that she had not heard of what Mu Qing had said, but looking at the interaction between Shen Nan and Emily, other than the good relationship between brother and sister, what else could it be? Mu Qing must be spouting nonsense.
“Let me tell you, Qi Yan, you’re too easy to fool. Look, these two people sleep together. No one will believe anything they say. Moreover, I see that all the rich families have child brides. Perhaps Emily is the child bride of the Shen family. Look at the many sons of the Shen family. Who knows who Emily might follow when the time comes?”
The disdain in Mu Qing’s eyes grew even more intense. A person like Emily was not a good person in her eyes. Besides, whose family’s money came from a flood? Who would raise a child for someone else without getting any benefits?
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Qi Yan heard Mu Qing say that the child bride could no longer endure the anger in her heart and growled softly.
Mu Qing pursed her lips. Seeing that Qi Yan did not believe her words… She was very unwilling to accept it. “It’s fine if you don’t like it. If you don’t believe me, just watch. Since when have you ever seen Shen Nan pay attention to his classmates with such a domineering personality? It’s just that you don’t believe it. Don’t blame me for not warning you. You have to stay away from this Student Emily. My mother said this kind of people isn’t good.”
“I told you to shut up. Don’t you understand?” Qi Yan’s voice had a trace of urgency. The anger in her voice made Mu Qing startled. Mu Qing pursed her lips, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. The boys all called her a gentle goddess. Tsk, she just knew how to pretend.
