"If I hadn’t changed, I would’ve been eaten down to the bone by now," she said, avoiding outright insults out of the residual gratitude for being raised.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Zhou Siyu’s tears fell one after another, and then she forced a bitter smile, "Regardless, we’ve finally found you, and the family doesn’t have to worry anymore."
"Siyu, what the hell is going on here? How did you become sisters with her?" Zhuo Feng couldn’t hold back anymore, what was all this? He was totally confused, this was all too dramatic, more exciting than a movie.
"Yeah! Siyu, stop crying, tell us what’s going on?" Tian Caiyan was even more anxious than Zhuo Feng; she urgently wanted to know the relationship between Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan.
Gu Jianbin also looked towards Zhou Siyu, his feelings incredibly complex. He didn’t even know what he was thinking; he felt inexplicably happy the moment he knew Shen Mianmian was a student.
However, he never expected Zhou Siyu to be her sister. From what Zhou Siyu said, it seemed like Shen Mianmian had run away from home to attend this school alone, and her relationship with Lu Siyuan was not ordinary.
And Lu Siyuan was Tian Caiyan’s life-saving benefactor; the relationships were too complicated. He’d be utterly confused if he hadn’t been listening here all along.
"I’m sorry, this is our family matter, I can’t tell you guys," Zhou Siyu said with an expression that wanted to save Shen Mianmian some face.
As if she hadn’t said enough. Lu Siyuan was almost sick with disgust, "Oh come on, don’t try to dress up as an elephant with garlic in your nose. You think you can play the weakling just by shedding a few crocodile tears, that makes you right? Even if you turn black into white, do you think anyone here would stand up for you?"
Tian Caiyan’s eyes sparkled, finding Lu Siyuan’s rogue charm irresistibly attractive; it was just a pity he wasn’t defending her.
"Lu Siyuan, don’t go too far," Zhuo Feng said, a little angry. "What kind of man are you to bully a girl like that?"
"None of your damned business," Lu Siyuan glared back at him, irritated, "Mind your own beeswax."
"You..." Zhuo Feng was furious, but he couldn’t outtalk Lu Siyuan, so he turned to look at Shen Mianmian with extreme dissatisfaction, "You’re okay with him insulting your sister?"
"My surname is Shen, hers is Zhou, you tell me, how does that make her my sister?" Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
With just one indifferent sentence, Shen Mianmian left Zhuo Feng speechless. He had been listening to Zhou Siyu call her "sister" and thought they were siblings; turned out they were not.
"I initially thought you were a pretty girl, but it turns out you’re even more unreasonable than Tian Caiyan. Such a waste of a beautiful face; no wonder they speak of femme fatales in ancient times."
It seems that beautiful women do have wicked hearts, after all.
Tian Caiyan was almost fuming with anger. She was standing there without moving or speaking; how did she end up as a negative example?
Shen Mianmian narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment!"
Her face was exceptionally beautiful, and when she smiled so sweetly, Zhuo Feng was dazzled by her smile, his face flushed, and he found himself unable to say any more hurtful words.
Gu Jianbin also stared at Shen Mianmian, her smile like a twinkling little star in the sky, captivating and impossible to look away from.
Noticing that both men were mesmerized, Tian Caiyan stomped her foot in frustration. This little vixen.
