Chapter 4

Shen Luoluo: ?

[Wait, what's going on now? Why did they suddenly give me that room after all?]

[No wonder someone glared at me the moment I stepped out!]

[What, did this couple's brains suddenly start working?]

The three others at the table: ...

Zhao Huizhen was left speechless by the scolding. She rubbed her nose awkwardly and continued apologizing. "I'm sorry, Luoluo. That room was yours to begin with. Your father and I didn't think things through. We're only returning it to its rightful—"

Ding-dong—

Ding-dong—

Ding-dong—

Shen Jiayan's phone had been chiming nonstop since Zhao Huizhen sat down. Now it was interrupting her outright.

Shen Ting'an finally lost patience and slapped the table with a loud bang. "Why are you playing with your phone at breakfast? Put it away! Keep it up and I'll confiscate it!"

Shen Luoluo jumped too.

[Huh? No phones while eating? I'm doomed. I love watching shows while I eat, especially when I'm alone. I'll order takeout and watch something over my meal.] Sometimes she finished eating before she even found a good show, but the ritual was essential. She couldn't do without it!

Zhao Huizhen immediately caught the important part: eating alone. Her eyes reddened again.

[Eating without a show is so boring. Rich families have way too many rules. I really don't belong here.]

The room fell silent.

Shen Luoluo spooned some porridge into her mouth and looked up.

[Huh? Why did he stop yelling?]

Zhao Huizhen quickly kicked Shen Ting'an under the table and shot him a meaningful look.

Shen Ting'an caught on at once. He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Ahem. O-of course, our family isn't that strict. You can use your phone. Just keep the volume down so you don't disturb anyone."

He turned to Shen Jiayan. "Since you didn't mean to do it today, turn the volume down and I won't confiscate your phone."

Shen Jiayan stared at his parents' performance, dumbfounded.

Seriously? They could do that?! They changed their tune faster than he could turn a page! They were so fierce with him, but two thoughts from Shen Luoluo were enough to make them change their minds? She was their daughter, sure, but wasn't he their son?

Favoritism. Shameless favoritism!

His phone was still buzzing. Shen Jiayan huffed. Since he'd managed to keep it, he'd let them off for now.

He unlocked the screen. The messages were coming from a group chat he shared with a few close friends.

[Underground Intelligence Bureau]

[Duan Yixing: Holy shit, holy shit! Breaking news! Shangguan Tingxuan really did shove garlic up his ass!]

[Jiang Yi: How do you know?]

[Duan Yixing: He went to my family's hospital. How could I not know?!]

[Lu Yanze: Holy shit! Hahahaha, I know it's terrible to laugh, but sorry, I'm laughing anyway! It takes a special kind of genius to come up with that idea, Shangguan Tingxuan! Hahahaha!!!]

[Jiang Yi: If the Shangguan Tingxuan thing is true, then what happened with Shi Yue's family...]

[Duan Yixing: That's probably true too!]

Shen Jiayan frowned at the messages. He had no idea what they were talking about.

[Shen Jiayan: What's true? What are you guys talking about?]

Duan Yixing replied immediately. [Brother Yan, you left too early last night! You missed so much! You have no idea how incredible your sister was. She was legendary!]

Duan Yixing then sent several voice messages, giving Shen Jiayan a quick rundown of what had happened the night before.

He had just finished listening when his phone buzzed again. This time it was Qin Shiyue, asking, [Is your sister coming to school to register later?]

Shen Jiayan's eyelid twitched. Crap. Was she coming to settle the score?

Seriously! How had Shen Luoluo managed to cause trouble right after coming home?

Chapter 4

◎Shen Anya's fiancé—I remember there was some juicy gossip about him!◎

After getting a definite answer, Qin Shiyue put away her phone. The woman kneeling on the floor was still pleading desperately. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't want to lie to you. I had no choice!"

"Jianming, please forgive me this once. I'll never do it again! Please don't send me away!"

Qin Shiyue found her noisy and irritating. She had never liked her stepmother much, but she could have put up with her for her father's sake. She just hadn't expected the woman to have cheated on him for so many years!

If she hadn't happened to hear Shen Luoluo's thoughts, who knew how much longer this woman would have fooled their family? And now she had the nerve to play innocent!

Her father was too softhearted. If it were up to her, she would send the woman and her lover straight to prison!

She stepped past the woman, went over to Qin Jianming, and told him the news she had just received.

Qin Jianming closed his eyes briefly and tossed aside the paternity test report in his hand. "Let's go." There was no hesitation in his voice.

Their car sped away from the hospital and pulled into the high school division of Jingbei International School a little over ten minutes later.

Their timing was perfect. The Shen family's car arrived just after they entered the school.

"Director Shen." Qin Jianming extended his right hand in greeting.

Shen Ting'an was alarmed. He had been on edge ever since his youngest son told him the Qin family wanted to see Shen Luoluo. The Shens were wealthy too, but they fell short of a prestigious family like the Qins. Besides, the Shens were in the wrong. If last night's events had angered Qin Jianming and he decided to do something to Shen Luoluo, the Shen Family would have no way to stop him!

He hurried forward and shook Qin Jianming's hand. "Chairman Qin, about last night—the child didn't—"

"What a coincidence! Last night is exactly what I came to discuss." Qin Jianming smiled broadly. "I owe your daughter a proper thank-you for what happened!"

Shen Ting'an: ???

Once he was sure Qin Jianming wasn't joking, Shen Ting'an asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Qin Jianming gestured ahead. "Let's talk as we walk."

The two heads of the families walked ahead, chatting happily and even laughing now and then. The more Shen Jiayan watched from behind, the stranger it seemed. Why was this nothing like he'd expected? He couldn't help moving closer to Qin Shiyue, only to find her humming cheerfully too.
