Shen Wenqian walked straight up to the second floor and found that there were a total of nine girls inside.
One of the girls with an oval face and big eyes saw her, hesitated for a moment, then came over with a smile, "Hello, I’m Tong Wen, the leader of the girls’ group. If you ever need anything and can’t find a teacher, you can come to me. That empty desk in the corner is reserved for you; you can move it to any other empty spot in the room as you like."
Being new here, Shen Wenqian didn’t want to cause any trouble.
Besides, even if she did want to start trouble, her target would be Shen Ci.
She nodded gently and obediently, "Thank you, I understand."
In fact, she was a bit depressed that she didn’t recognize any of the girls here. She only hoped that there would be boys she knew upstairs, and preferably some of her followers, so that her tasks would be easier to execute.
Shen Wenxi had ordered five bowls of noodles.
If it wasn’t for the fact that noodles clump together after sitting too long, he would definitely have ordered ten to take back for dinner.
He also hoped that Shen Wenqian wouldn’t appreciate the quality, so that he could justifiably eat all five bowls...
Ah, if it weren’t for the sake of face, he actually wanted to claim all five bowls in one go for himself.
Tong Wen and Xia Ping were both ordinary citizens who were unaware of the affairs of high society.
When they heard Shen Wenqian say that she was Shen Ci’s half-sister from the same father, they immediately took an interest in befriending her.
Tong Wen naturally wanted to learn more about Shen Ci through her. Although she couldn’t pursue him, she couldn’t help but love him secretly.
Xia Ping, on the other hand, was acting out of a cousin’s concern for her cousin.
Shen Wenqian inwardly looked down upon these two ordinary people, Tong Wen and Xia Ping, but upon hearing that they used to work at Meng Chuyue’s fruit shop, she showed twelve points of amicability.
Thus, in less than a day, the three girls had apparently become good friends.
Meng Chuyue was somewhat worried, but some things were not easy to say, and even if she did say them, Tong Wen and Xia Ping probably wouldn’t believe her.
She could only ask Erhu to take extra care of the two.
Shen Ci was a little less worried about this.
The Shen Family had always been after him, and even if they held ill intentions towards Tong Wen and Xia Ping, they wouldn’t go too far. After all, due to Tong Wen and Xia Ping’s naivety, getting battered by society might not be such a bad thing.
He thought this way but still instructed Han Muyang to take extra care of these two silly girls.
Han Muyang was aware of the grudges between Shen Ci and the Shen Family and agreed wholeheartedly.
He had to agree; even ignoring Shen Ci’s face, just for Meng Chuyue’s sake, he couldn’t let anything happen to the students of the tutoring class.
Han Muyang’s promise wasn’t just talk. Ever since Shen Ci entrusted them to him, during every self-study period, he would round up several boys and girls who were in good relations to surround and tutor Tong Wen and Xia Ping.
If Shen Wenqian’s disposition were truly amiable, she could have also integrated into this circle.
However, she was always proud and haughty. Her friendliness towards Tong Wen and Xia Ping was nothing but pretense.
Being in a study group with twenty-some people, especially in a noisy environment, was something she truly couldn’t stand. As a result, by the time it was almost the end of the school day in the afternoon, she was once again a loner.
Yet, she was still pleased.
Because she found that the noodles Meng Chuyue made for lunch were extremely delicious. She, who normally had a very small appetite and was excessively skinny, had actually finished both of the bowls Shen Wenxi had reserved for her.
She had a slight case of anorexia and had always wanted to gain weight, but suddenly, she lost interest in everything else, including her plans against Shen Ci, and became single-mindedly focused on eating more of Meng Chuyue’s food.
On the way home, she arrogantly said to Shen Wenxi, "Let’s not target Shen Ci for now. Let me have a few more meals made by Meng Chuyue. Or I’ll wait until I make a good arrangement with her, getting her to agree to be my personal nanny before we act further."
Shen Wenxi sneered, "I also want to eat more of the food she makes, but she’s the valedictorian of the college entrance exam. Do you think she would agree to be your personal nanny? Besides, I suspect she is dating Shen Ci. Even if she agrees, Shen Ci wouldn’t."
