Chapter 25

14L: A brain is a good thing, it's a pity the 10th floor doesn't have one!

15L: How can there be someone like the person on the 10th floor? I think your eyes are bloodshot with envy! It's really bad luck to go to the same school as someone like this!

The whole school knew about Shen Luoluo, the transfer student who ranked first in the grade, and Shen Jiayan First-Year Class 8, was no exception.

The boy turned around, casually draped his hand over Shen Jiayan's desk, and said, "Brother Yan, have you seen the forum? Your illegitimate sister actually got first place in the whole grade! That's awesome!"

Shen Jiayan raised his head, his eyes dark and intense. "Who? Say it again."

The boy, oblivious to the danger, repeated, "Illegitimate sister..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jiayan jumped up from her seat, grabbed the boy by the collar, and lifted him off the chair. "Who did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

"That's my own sister, my own sister born to the same parents! Say the words 'illegitimate daughter' again, and I won't hesitate to beat you to death on the spot!"

"Huh?" The boy who was being lifted up was stunned. "This is your biological sister, born of the same parents. What about Shen Anya?"

"That's my adopted daughter, the one my parents switched at birth!"

Holy crap?! Did they hear that right? The real and fake heiresses?! Everyone in the class was stunned; the real and fake heiresses were right next to them!

The boy realized what had happened and his legs went weak with fear. He plopped down on the ground. "Brother Yan, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Everyone was saying it, so I said it too! Brother Yan, I'm innocent!"

"Everyone says so, okay," Shen Jiayan nodded, then turned to Duan Yixing and Lu Yanze, "You heard it too?"

The two quickly shook their heads, "No, we've never heard of it!"

Shen Jiayan gritted his teeth, "Is lying to me fun?"

The boy cried out that he was innocent, "Brother Yan, it really wasn't me..."

"Jia Yan," Jiang Yi interrupted them, "I've heard it a few times too."

"Yes, yes, yes," the boy immediately chimed in, "Brother Yan, look, it's not just me, Jiang Yi heard it too. You can ask others, they must have heard it too!"

Shen Jiayan, half-believing and half-doubting, asked Duan Yixing and Lu Yanze to inquire with all the classmates present. It turned out that everyone had more or less heard about the fact that Shen Luoluo was an illegitimate child.

"This is really strange," Duan Yixing said, bewildered. "Why haven't the three of us heard a single word?"

"Could it be because the three of us are close to Sister Luoluo that we didn't hear or see it?" Although it seemed a bit far-fetched, Lu Yanze thought about it more and more and it seemed possible. "I just noticed it too. The less familiar we are with them, the more often they hear it. For example, the class monitor hears it often. The more familiar we are with them, the less often we hear it. Jiang Yi has heard it a few times. People like us who are close to them don't hear it at all!"

Duan Yixing nodded, "I think so too, otherwise how could we be the only ones who know nothing about it!"

Suddenly realizing something, Duan Yixing rubbed his arms, a chill running down his spine. "Do you think it might also be some kind of special ability, like how we can hear Sister Luoluo's thoughts! And they're blocking us out?"

Before Shen Jiayan could think about it, a person rushed in through the door, panting. "Jia Yan, your sister seems to be fighting with someone! Right in front of the Second-Year Teaching Building."

After saying that, he rushed out, leaving only a blur.

In fact, Shen Luoluo didn't fight anyone at all; she was simply surrounded.

The girl in front of her stood with her hands on her hips, arrogant and domineering, blocking her way and refusing to let her out. Shen Luoluo calmly sized up the girl.

[Who is this person? I've never seen them before, but they're quite good-looking.]

Caught off guard by the praise, Xiang Lu blushed. "I... my name is Xiang Lu!" Her mind was in turmoil, and she lost all her confidence.

No! Xiang Lu quickly shook her head. Even if she was praised, she couldn't be happy or let her mind wander! She came to find someone to stand up for Shen Anya!

Don't be fooled by sweet words!

Standing in front of Shen Luoluo with her hands on her hips, Xiang Lu said, "Shen Luoluo, I'm warning you, you'd better give Anya's room back to her right now! If you dare to bully her again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shen Luoluo understood, "[Oh, so this is Xiang Lu Shen Anya's good friend.]"

Xiang Lu finally realized something was wrong, her eyes widening in horror. What... what was going on? Shen Luoluo didn't say anything, so why was she hearing her voice in her mind?

Just as I was still in shock, the voice rang out again in the next second--

[Sigh, poor Miss, she tried so hard to bring Shen Anya and her brother together, little did she know that Shen Anya and her fiancé Lu Yanshi had already taken a liking to each other!]

[Oh, right, yesterday at the Café, ostensibly for a heart-to-heart talk, but actually we were holding hands!]

[Both siblings were cheated on at the same time, that's unbelievable!]

Xiang Lu's eyes widened even more. What was this person saying? Why couldn't she understand a word? What did he mean by Shen Anya and her fiancé hitting it off and even holding hands?

Impossible! Anya isn't that kind of person!

But if that's really not the case, why does this person know that her fiancé's name is Lu Yanshi, that they went to the Café together yesterday, and even that she introduced her brother to Shen Anya —something she hasn't told anyone!

Shen Anya doesn't get along with this person, and there's no way she would tell her about it!

Wow! If we went to the rooftop now, we might even catch them hugging!

[Ahem, they even kissed in the heat of the moment!] Shen Luoluo snapped out of her daze, "What did you just say...?"

She looked up, but there was no sign of Xiang Lu. Instead, she saw Xiang Lu hurrying along, looking aggressive, and no one knew where she was going.

Chapter 25

◎ The Shen Family doesn't have a daughter like you!◎

The sun was hanging halfway up the mountain, and a gentle evening breeze was blowing on the rooftop.

"Yan Shi, I don't know how things turned out like this!" Shen Anya's voice trembled with tears as she leaned against Lu Yanshi's chest. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why is everyone so hostile towards me!"

"I clearly didn't post that, but those people are saying I'm spreading rumors! You know I'm not that kind of person, how could I do something like that!"
