Qi Junshan took Shen Juan’s phone and checked it. It really was a payment receipt.
He called the school’s finance department and verified it personally. In the end, he confirmed that Shen Juan had indeed paid the overdue tuition.
He was a little surprised.
“Shen Juan, where did you get this money? I know your situation. With your current family conditions, you can’t afford such high tuition. Is the source of this money legitimate? You must not do anything illegal!”
Shen Juan directly tore up the withdrawal application that had been prepared for him and threw it into the trash.
Qi Junshan pushed up his glasses, stunned.
No student had ever dared to be so disrespectful to him.
And yet Shen Juan had just torn up the document he prepared right in front of him and tossed it away.
Wasn’t this a blatant slap in his face?
Shen Juan turned and walked out of the office without responding to the principal’s question.
These people clearly judged others based on their status. From the original host’s memories, when he was still the young master of the Shen family, their attitude had been completely different.
That counselor had been as fawning as a lapdog back then.
Now that his identity had changed, they didn’t even bother pretending anymore.
“Shen Juan…”
Wen Li suddenly appeared from around the corner. She grabbed his arm and pulled him into a quiet corner where no one would notice.
She looked around cautiously, making sure no one had seen them.
Shen Juan smiled. “Miss Campus Belle Wen, why do you always act like you’re sneaking around to meet a lover whenever you see me?”
Wen Li’s face instantly turned red.
She glared at him indignantly. “Don’t talk nonsense. I just came to ask if you’re getting expelled.”
Her face was full of sincerity, carrying a trace of concern and sympathy for a classmate. However, Shen Juan caught the fleeting slyness in her eyes and the slight upward curve at the corner of her lips.
He understood the personalities of every important character in the original novel better than their own parents.
This seemingly harmless, delicate girl in front of him was actually a complete schemer.
“So, if I get expelled, you seem quite happy?” Shen Juan looked at her soft, pink face and licked his lips with a faint smile.
Wen Li’s heart skipped a beat.
She couldn’t help but recall the shameful moment in the rain shelter when Shen Juan had kissed her.
“Of course not! Don’t misunderstand, okay? I’m just showing concern as a classmate. Whether you get expelled or not has nothing to do with me. I’m leaving,” Wen Li said, turning to slip away.
But in the next second, Shen Juan grabbed her, leaving her unable to move.
“Shen Juan, what are you doing? Let go of me, you pervert!” Wen Li panicked. Her small face was filled with alarm, and her rosy lips chattered nonstop. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“This is daytime. Calm down. If someone sees us, it won’t look good. I’m Wen Li, not my sister. Look carefully!”
Her words made Shen Juan chuckle.
“So daytime isn’t okay? Does that mean nighttime is fine?”
Wen Li’s face turned bright red. “You… you’re completely insane.”
“I’ve decided. Breakfast is now dinner. After school, wait for me. Starting today, for the next month, we’ll be having dinner together every night.”
Wen Li panicked at his words.
This shameless man was going back on his word.
Breakfast turned into dinner… was it really just about eating?
At that point, she’d be the one on the table.
“You don’t want to?”
Wen Li glared at him. “You’re being unreasonable. You’re threatening me!”
Shen Juan calmly took out his phone, making Wen Li’s heart pound wildly.
His phone still had evidence of her trying to puncture his tire.
Even though she hadn’t succeeded and had instead lost her first kiss, how could she let others see that embarrassing image of her squatting there, sticking her butt out while trying to puncture a tire?
Shen Juan casually scrolled through his phone. “I’m not threatening you. I’m sincerely inviting you to dinner. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”
As he spoke, he opened a picture and showed it to her.
Wen Li nearly exploded with anger.
In the photo, she was indeed squatting in the bike shed, busy with her attempt. Shen Juan had clearly done it on purpose, capturing her most embarrassing moment.
“Dinner it is, then! Shen Juan, you win!” Wen Li gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound like an enraged little wildcat.
If no one were around, she would have definitely bitten him to death!
Wen Wan’s mood was terrible the entire day. Being mistaken by Shen Juan had left her both angry and embarrassed, as if she had been humiliated.
“Lili, aren’t you coming?” The driver was already waiting outside. Wen Wan wanted to take her sister home.
“Big sis, I made plans with a classmate to go shopping. I’ll be back later. I’ve already called the driver to come pick me up later, so don’t worry,” Wen Li said.
“Alright, just come home early after you’re done,” Wen Wan replied.
As she watched her sister leave, Wen Li silently cursed Shen Juan again in her heart.
“Huh? Why do I feel like someone’s secretly cursing me? I’ve sneezed several times already.”
“Ah!” Wen Li jumped in fright. She hadn’t even noticed when Shen Juan appeared. He hadn’t been there just a moment ago.
“Shen Juan, are you human or a ghost? You don’t make any sound when you walk? You nearly scared me to death!” Wen Li clutched her chest, her beautiful eyes filled with irritation as she glared at him.
“Who said I didn’t make any sound? I was calling you while walking over. Someone was too busy cursing me to hear,” Shen Juan said casually.
Wen Li’s face flushed slightly, but she stubbornly replied, “Who was cursing you? That was just a kind greeting from a classmate.”
“Alright, alright. If you say it’s a greeting, then it’s a greeting. Let’s go eat. I’m starving,” Shen Juan said.
Wen Li obediently followed behind him. To avoid misunderstandings from classmates, she deliberately kept a distance of about 1 metre.
Shen Juan led her through a few turns and eventually stopped in front of a fish restaurant two streets behind the school.
It was a newly opened place specializing in fish dishes. Shen Juan had seen good reviews online and decided to try it out.
Wen Li sat down and immediately began looking around cautiously again.
Only after confirming there were no familiar classmates in the restaurant did she relax a little.
“Miss Campus Belle Wen, we’re openly here for a meal. Don’t act like you’re here to dine and dash, alright?” Shen Juan teased.
Wen Li rolled her eyes at him. “Isn’t this all your fault? You insisted that I treat you to meals for a whole month. If someone sees us, they’ll misunderstand. My sister will overthink it too.”
Then she leaned forward, her big eyes staring at Shen Juan earnestly. “Didn’t you like my sister the most? Please delete my videos and photos. And stop making me treat you to meals. I’ll help you pursue my sister, okay?”
At a critical moment, she had sold out her own sister without hesitation.
“No,” Shen Juan refused without even thinking, leaving Wen Li stunned.
“I’m offering to help you pursue my sister. How could you refuse?”
Shen Juan looked at her with a smile in his eyes. “I’ve figured it out.”
Wen Li’s lips trembled slightly, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
“Figured what out?”
“You and your sister are both so beautiful that it’s hard to tell you apart at a glance. Since your sister is so cold and distant, why should I keep acting like a desperate simp?”
Wen Li looked at him nervously. “So what do you mean?”
“I mean, you’re cuter than your sister. I’ve decided to try pursuing you instead.”
With a loud bang, Wen Li’s mind went blank.
It’s over… he really came for me!
