The person who bullied Shen Mianmian the most at home was Zhou Lanfang. If something was truly wrong with Shen Mianmian, the one who should be nervous was Zhou Lanfang.
She had never openly bullied Shen Mianmian. What was there to fear?
"Weren’t you sleeping quite early yesterday?" Zhou Lanfang, with her sharp eyes, suddenly noticed that Zhou Siyu had heavy dark circles. It was apparent that she hadn’t slept well the previous night. Looking at Shen Mianmian, her little face was rosy, her complexion was exceptionally good.
This little bastard, who knows what she’s been eating recently. Her complexion has been getting better day by day, at least five or six pounds heavier.
If it wasn’t for knowing Shen Mianmian had no money, and her own money hadn’t been touched, she would suspect Shen Mianmian of stealing money to buy meat.
"I..." Zhou Siyu glanced at Shen Mianmian, hesitated to speak, and then said, "I have an exam today, and I’m a bit nervous, so I had insomnia."
Her words seemed unrelated to Shen Mianmian, but her gaze gave another meaning entirely.
"Did you bully Siyu?" Zhou Lanfang glared, wishing she could snatch the pancake from Shen Mianmian’s hand.
Shen Jianhua also looked at Shen Mianmian. "Mianmian, what happened last night?"
Zhou Siyu lowered her head, seemingly aggrieved, yet she did not stop eating.
Shen Mianmian looked at Shen Jianhua innocently and countered, "What happened?" As if saying, acting, who can’t?
"Why did Siyu sleep so late last night?" Shen Jianhua asked.
"I went to bed as soon as I returned to my room last night, I don’t know what happened." As if remembering something, Shen Mianmian added, "Didn’t she just say that she didn’t sleep well because she was nervous about the test?"
It seems he was overthinking it.
"Siyu is scared, that’s why she didn’t dare tell the truth." Zhou Lanfang looked as if she wanted to devour Shen Mianmian. Today was Siyu’s exam day, but this little bastard disturbed Siyu’s sleep, it was definitely on purpose.
If she doesn’t teach her a lesson, who knows how she might torment Siyu in the future.
If it really comes down to it, just make this brat move to the main room to sleep.
"Aren’t you here to back her up? You let her speak then." Shen Mianmian smiled slightly, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. Just one look at Zhou Lanfang’s disgusted gaze and she knew, Zhou Lanfang surely wasn’t thinking anything good.
"Siyu, did she bully you? Don’t be afraid, your uncle and I are here, we will stand up for you."
Zhou Siyu had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Shen Mianmian. Follow current novᴇls on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
"I remember now." She spun her large eyes round, a look of confusion on her face, "I was sleeping in a daze last night and it seemed like I heard some noise. Siyu must have been disturbed by that sound and couldn’t sleep."
Zhou Siyu wanted to say it wasn’t that, but Zhou Lanfang cut off her chance to speak.
"What noise? I didn’t hear anything."
Zhou Lanfang had been busy until late into the night. Although she wasn’t paying attention to the outside, if there had been any noise, she would have noticed.
Shen Jianhua also looked puzzled; could it have been a thief outside?
Fortunately, they had already sold the family cattle and sheep.
"The creaking noise of the bed slats." Shen Mianmian said seriously, "It seemed like it came from your room."
Shen Jianhua’s wooden bed, made when he got married, had been slept on for many years, and the slats had loosened a bit. When someone sat on it, it would make a noise.
But in fact, it could only be heard from the main room, not from Shen Mianmian’s.
Yet at that moment, Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang, feeling guilty, blushed at Shen Mianmian’s words.
