Chapter 32
As Huang Yue was about to say something, Wen Nian had already left. The thought of the breakfast she had yet to buy made her stomp her feet in anger. She realized that Wen Nian was becoming increasingly difficult to control, causing her to feel frustrated early in the morning.
Entering the classroom, Huang Yue’s gaze inadvertently fell on the back row, where she noticed the soda water that Wen Nian had just purchased was now on Shen Jun’s desk. Her eyes widened, and a glint of excitement flickered within them.
Although Wen Nian and Wei Xiao had already broken off their engagement, Huang Yue felt that she had to collect evidence of Wen Nian cheating on Wei Xiao when she saw Wen Nian buying water for the boys. She would be prepared for any need that may arise.
Previously, Wen Nian had never met Wei Xiao. They were simply engaged because of Wei Feng. However, she had never had any interactions with upper-class society. Additionally, she only had one friend, Huang Yue, so Wen Nian relied on and believed in her.
Huang Yue had also managed to gather some information about Wei Xiao through Wen Nian. She knew that as long as she used Wei Xiao as bait, Wen Nian would blindly follow her lead.
The reason why Wen Nian was no longer relying on her now seemed to be because of Shen Jun’s appearance. Was it because Wen Nian had changed his target and didn’t need to ask her for anything? But on second thought, Wen Nian was so vain. Why would he abandon the heir of the Wei family and choose a poor student? Could it be that Shen Jun’s background was not simple…
Huang Yue thought that she had figured it out. She waited for her driver at the side of the road while Wen Nian waited by the bicycle shed for Wen Yu. It was a Friday afternoon and they decided to visit the shops in the area further away after school.
An Audi A6 was parked not far away from her. Huang Yue glanced at the ordinary model before quickly retracting her gaze. She turned around to admire the cars of some rich parents of the kids from No. 1 High School who came to pick up their children. When the Bugatti Veyron belonging to the Jiang Ning’s family appeared, Huang Yue’s eyes turned red with envy.
Huang Yue had dabbled in all kinds of substances that could represent the upper-class society. Therefore, the moment the Jiang family’s car appeared, Huang Yue automatically labeled the car with its price tag. She immediately converted its price to 24.8 million yuan.
Soon, as the Audi A6 drove past Huang Yue, the person sitting inside caught her attention once again. Thinking of the man in the driver’s seat, Huang Yue recalled how Shen Jun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had introduced himself on the podium for the first time. Her intuition told her that Shen Jun was not born into an ordinary family.
Huang Yue narrowed her eyes. She knew it all along. How could Wen Nian suddenly change her target? She must have had a bigger target in mind. Huang Yue thought about how Wen Nian had been pretending to study recently to establish a good image in front of Shen Jun.
No matter what Huang Yue imagined, Wen Nian and Wen Yu had just visited all the shops within a 500-meter radius of the school. Unfortunately, they still hadn’t found a shop that was available for rent. It could only be said that the food business around the school was indeed profitable.
The new week marked the beginning of preparations for the No. 1 High School’s 100th anniversary.
Li Fang, being an alumnus of No. 1 High School, held the school’s 100th anniversary in high regard. During morning assembly, she entered the classroom and knocked on the blackboard to signal for quiet. Then, she announced, “In half a month, our school will be celebrating its 100th anniversary. Each grade, except for the third year, is expected to have at least one or two programs. I encourage everyone to sign up and participate enthusiastically. Class monitor, please hand in the sign-up list to the Student Union’s Literature and Arts Department by tomorrow evening’s self-study session at the latest. Participants should pay close attention to the specific process.”
“Teacher, I heard that even the local television station will be covering our school’s anniversary?”
The faculty member of No. 1 High School, Li Fang, felt honored and replied with a smile, “That’s right. No. 1 High School is the only school in Hai City that has been able to pass on its hundred-year-old legacy without being cut off, despite decades of war and regime changes. Therefore, this time, it will be very grand. The mayor is also our alumnus, and many celebrities who graduated from the No. 1 High School will come back to participate.”
Huang Yue’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Teacher, can we participate in a solo format?”
Li Fang nodded and said, “It’s possible. There are no limits on the format and number of people in the program. However, the Literature and Art Department will first make a selection before the program can actually go on stage. So if everyone wants to perform, they need to be fully prepared.”
This was such a good opportunity. Huang Yue wanted to participate and she wanted to perform alone. After all, if it was a group performance, it would not give her the spotlight she wanted.
