Chapter 918: Chapter 918: True Saintly Sick Beauty vs. Fake White Lotus Hypocrite (Part 28)
Shen Nian was stopped by a stranger girl at the school gate when he finished school the next day.
He frowned as he looked at her.
Tong Yuanyuan carefully looked at this boy; as expected of the school heartthrob, his handsome appearance combined with a slightly cool demeanor indeed makes him the type that is very attractive to girls.
Moreover, Tong Yuanyuan glanced at Shen Nian’s eyes.
A person like this could absolutely not be some naive pushover nor someone content to live under others.
With this understanding, she felt even more confident in her upcoming plan.
Shen Nian prepared to bypass her and leave directly.
“Wait a minute, Shen Nian, I need to talk to you about something.” Tong Yuanyuan hurriedly called out to him.
He really was as unapproachable as the rumors said.
Shen Nian kept walking: “I’m not interested in whatever you have to say.”
Tong Yuanyuan, however, showed a confident smile behind his back: “Are you not interested in something related to your sister Ling Su either?”
His steps suddenly halted.
Shen Nian turned around, his sharp gaze fixed tightly on Tong Yuanyuan.
Under such a gaze, Tong Yuanyuan unexpectedly felt a bit of pressure.
How is that possible? The other party is just a sixteen-year-old high school student; she reassured herself she was overthinking it.
“What’s it about?” Shen Nian asked slowly.
Tong Yuanyuan glanced around; it was just after school, and some students were already sneaking glances at the two of them.
“It’s not convenient here. Shall we find a place to talk?”
Fifteen minutes later.
“Go ahead.” Shen Nian didn’t even set his backpack down, looking coolly at the girl in front of him.
Tong Yuanyuan noticed his demeanor as if ready to leave at any moment, her eyes flickering.
Indeed, it’s been a while since she encountered someone not giving her any face like this.
She slowly stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon, leisurely saying, “Shen Nian, I know you were just adopted by Ling Su, right?”
Shen Nian’s gaze suddenly turned cold, staring firmly at Tong Yuanyuan.
This was something he disliked people bringing up the most because this fact always reminded him that he had no real connection with his sister.
Yet it was also one of the things he felt most fortunate about; countless times in the middle of countless nights, he felt grateful that there was no blood relationship between them.
But this certainly did not mean he was willing for others to know about it.
As soon as Tong Yuanyuan saw Shen Nian’s expression, a smile curled up on her face.
Indeed, he cared so much about this.
Seeing that Shen Nian had no intention of responding, she didn’t mind and continued, “I mean, Shen Nian, see, Ling Su adopted you, but she didn’t give you a place in the Ling family registry. With all that wealth of the Ling Family, not a penny will be yours, Shen Nian.”
“Look at how hypocritical that woman is. She adopted you, earning a great reputation, but in fact? She just offered a pair of chopsticks and a few insignificant dollars to her.”
“Shen Nian, are you really content with this?”
Tong Yuanyuan took a sip from the cup in her hand, continuing to entice, “You’ve lived with the Ling Family for quite a few years. You should be even clearer than I am about how wealthy the Ling Family is, right?”
“Such a vast fortune, have you truly never thought about it at all?”
“Now, the person with the best relationship with Ling Su is you. If she really cared about you, she should share more of her assets with you, shouldn’t she?”
“But now it seems, her goodness to you is just superficial, right?”
