Someone asked, puzzled, "Aren't you angry?"
"What would I be angry about?" Qin Shiyue asked reflexively. Then she caught on and gave Shen Jiayan a long, hard look. "Shen Jiayan, is something wrong with your head?"
Shen Jiayan: ?
"If it weren't for your sister, my dad and I would still be in the dark about that woman. The Qin Group might even have ended up in someone else's hands. Your sister did my family a huge favor. I can't thank her enough, and you think I'd be angry? What's wrong with your head?"
Only then did Shen Jiayan realize she was right. Why had he assumed the Qin family would be angry? Why had he immediately thought Shen Luoluo had caused trouble?
He'd already learned at the hospital that everything Shen Luoluo knew was true. How strange!
The group walked along together, chatting and laughing, while the news spread across
campus
like wildfire.
Sophomore International Class.
Several girls huddled around photos on the School Forum, all of them astonished.
"Didn't everyone say Director Shen and his wife didn't like this illegitimate daughter? Why did they bring her to school themselves?"
"Right? I've always heard she isn't favored in the Shen Family. Everyone kept their distance, and no one liked her or talked to her. But they don't look like they dislike her in these photos. And am I seeing this right? Even Chairman Qin came. What's going on?"
Everyone at Jingbei International School knew Qin Jianming. Jingbei was a privately owned school, and Jingbei International was one of the schools under the Qin Group. Qin Jianming was its largest shareholder and a director. Even the principal had to answer to him.
So who exactly was this illegitimate daughter, to have a school director come out to welcome her personally?!
And what was more...
One girl swiped to another picture. "Did you see this?"
The photo on her phone was a candid shot of Shen Anya getting out of a car alone, a stark contrast to the crowd they had just seen.
"I saw it too. What's with the Shen Family? If I didn't know better, I'd think Shen Luoluo was their biological daughter, with everyone fussing over her, and Anya was the illegitimate one!"
"Shh, here she comes." Speak of the devil. Another girl hurriedly cut her off and signaled with her eyes.
The moment Shen Anya entered the classroom, she sensed something was off. Why were all her friends staring at her as though they had something to say?
One of them finally asked, "Anya, why did your parents come to school with Shen Luoluo? And Chairman Qin..." As she spoke, she held up her phone to show Shen Anya the photos.
Shen Anya's expression shifted the instant she saw them, but she quickly recovered and smiled. "Oh, that? You know Luoluo just transferred here from a small town, and her grades aren't great. Mom and Dad came because they wanted to get her into a good class. They've worried themselves sick and called in so many favors..."
She left it there, but everyone understood. How good could the grades of someone from a small town be? This was an elite school, nothing like the schools for ordinary rich kids. Money alone wasn't enough here; grades mattered too. Not just anyone could get in!
Shen Luoluo's grades must have been so bad that the school wouldn't admit her even for money, afraid she would damage its reputation. The Shen Family had been left with no choice but to use their connections and ask Chairman Qin to come in person!
"So that's it," one girl said in sudden understanding, then laughed. "But with grades like hers, even if she gets in, she'll still be at the bottom here."
"Do you think she'll cry if she comes last in the whole school?"
"Of course! She'll probably go crying back to her village for her mommy!"
"Hahaha!" The group burst out laughing.
Suddenly, someone pointed out the window. "Isn't that Shen Luoluo? Why is she going to the Rocket Class?!"
Everyone looked up at once. The girl standing outside the Rocket Class was indeed the newly transferred Shen Luoluo.
"Impossible!" Shen Anya was the first to protest.
The Rocket Class was nothing like the International Class. The International Class was designed to prepare students from wealthy families to study abroad. As long as they planned to go overseas and met the grade requirements, they could get in. The bar wasn't that high. The Rocket Class was different: its students would take the college entrance exam, and only those ranked among the best in the school could join.
How could someone from the countryside like Shen Luoluo possibly get into the Rocket Class?
"She went in!" No matter how much Shen Anya refused to believe it, Shen Luoluo walked into the Rocket Class under everyone's eyes.
Wait! Shen Anya remembered something. Sheng Mingzhou, her fiancé in name, was in the Rocket Class!
As it happened, Shen Luoluo's placement in the Rocket Class had been an accident.
A few minutes earlier, their group had arrived at the principal's office. The school administrator and several teachers were there.
Qin Jianming's first question was whether she had chosen a class. Shen Luoluo answered honestly, "Not yet."
She had been about to say any class would do, but Qin Jianming's next words sent her to the Rocket Class with Qin Shiyue.
After the school administrator asked her a few simple questions, he had Qin Shiyue take her to the Rocket Class to report in.
"Wait!"
Shen Luoluo and Qin Shiyue had barely entered the classroom when someone blocked their way.
A boy stood in front of them. "Shen Luoluo, what are you doing in our Rocket Class? You don't belong here!"
He had already received a message from Shen Anya. He never would have expected Shen Luoluo to show up in the Rocket Class!
"Don't think I don't know why you're here. Let me tell you, Anya is the only daughter of the Shen Family I recognize! Just because you've returned to the Shen Family doesn't mean you have anything to do with me. Stop dreaming! I'll never like you! Anya is the only person I'll ever love—"
Just then, a voice drifted through the room.
[Who is this guy?]
The boy stopped mid-sentence.
The rest of the class turned to look at them too. What had happened at the banquet last night had already spread. Word passed from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred. The wealthy social circle was only so big. Barring a few exceptions, almost everyone knew about Shen Luoluo's thoughts being heard.
