Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Rumors Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Rumors Ye Wei’an snapped back to reality and quickly covered up her previous expression, lifting her head and speaking with difficulty and apology, “I’m sorry about just now, I know you were trying to defend me and speak on my behalf, but in the eyes of others, she is after all my sister. If I don’t stand up for her and our parents hear about it, I’m afraid they might think that my sister and I are not getting along. You know, our parents are already worried enough about my sister’s issues, I don’t want to add to their concerns because of me. So I have to apologize for putting you in this position, you won’t hold it against me, will you?”
Meng Feifei thought about her status as an adopted daughter and felt that her situation wasn’t easy either. No matter how unpleasant the other party might be, she’s the biological child. Caught in the middle, Feifei probably suffered quite a bit of injustice. With that in mind, she actually began to feel empathy for her instead of dwelling on the previous displeasure.
It was so unfair. She was clearly better than that Ye Zhen, yet just because she was adopted, she had to be inferior to her in every way. Truly unfair.
Ye Wei’an also felt it was quite unfair. Why couldn’t she be the real daughter of the Ye Family? Why did the other party have to come back after they had already gone?
On the other hand, Shen Zhaozhao turned around, ready to return to her seat, but almost bumped into Sheng Chuyi who had just entered the room. He glanced at her and said, “Impertinently!”
It seemed he had heard her recent conversation with Ye Wei’an.
Shen Zhaozhao stuck out her tongue. What she said was the truth, after all.
That evening, when she went to the Olympic Mathematics class, she noticed a boy in the class looking at her in a strange way. Every time he saw her, he would frown subconsciously, looking as though he had something to say but hesitated.
Shen Zhaozhao wasn’t bothered at first, but after it happened a few times, even she realized that something was off.
But she didn’t even know the guy.
And had no idea what about her could possibly displease him.
The next day at lunch in the cafeteria, she ran into him again.
The moment the boy saw her, he once again made an unmistakable face of displeasure.
Hey, her temper wasn’t one to be tested.
If it wasn’t for the promise she had made to Ms. Shu Ran not to cause trouble, she really would have liked to ask him directly what she had done to get in his way.
Jiang Nian followed her gaze and took the initiative to say, “That’s Zhou Ci!”
Shen Zhaozhao, “You know him?”
“The class president of senior grade two, class one, our school’s perennial second-ranked top student,” Jiang Nian said.
Naturally, the top-ranked student was Sheng Chuyi.
Shen Zhaozhao had also recently found out that Sheng Chuyi had been ranked first in the entrance examination when he started school. Others had gained admission to Jiu Middle School by paying money, but he hadn’t paid a cent in tuition fees and even received a considerable scholarship to attend.
It really is maddening how people can be compared.
“Why do I feel like he has something against me?”
Jiang Nian glanced at her and said, “He’s on good terms with Ye Wei’an. Their families are long-time friends. He probably heard about how you clashed with Ye Wei’an in class before.”
“That was me being reasonable. How did it turn into a clash?” Indeed, rumors are terrifying!
And this is the intelligence of a top student?
Jiang Nian, realizing what she wanted to say, commented, “Some people are intelligent in one area but may not be as strong in emotional intelligence.”
That explanation seemed not entirely wrong.
But being stared at wasn’t right either, so Shen Zhaozhao took the initiative to approach him and ask, “Zhou Ci?”
Seeing her, Zhou Ci furrowed his brow and did not hide his dislike, asking, “What is it?”
Shen Zhaozhao, “I heard you’re a top student, and I have a question I’d like to ask you. ‘One must be careful when listening to others; through repetition, what’s white can become black, and black can become white. Hence, a dog resembles a monkey, a monkey resembles its mother, and the mother resembles a human, and yet humans are far from dogs. This is where fools greatly err. If what is heard is scrutinized, it brings fortune; if not, it is worse than not having heard.'” What does this sentence mean?”
