“I already told you not to get involved. By acting like this, you’re making things difficult for me as Shen Jun’s friend,” Jiang Chun said, feigning difficulty in handling the situation, though her expression showed a hint of satisfaction.
Since she was on the phone, she didn’t need to maintain her friendly facade.
She continued, “Furthermore, since your grandfather has made arrangements, he must see potential in Wei Xiao. After all, he’s the future heir of the Wei family.”
“What heir is he? Just a motherless wild seed!” The thought of Wei Xiao being Wei Feng’s most faithful grandson irritated Wei Lai even more. “The Wei family doesn’t revolve around him alone. Sister Jiang Chun, you must help me.”
Hearing her words, Jiang Chun’s lips curved into a smile, but her response was a refusal, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you. As I said, they’re deeply in love. Unless there’s a genuine conflict or if Wei Xiao has done something wrong to Wen Nian, Shen Jun won’t give up on her.”
“A conflict? Something he did wrong? Could it be because of some conflict between Wei Xiao and Wen Nian in the past?” Wei Lai asked excitedly.
“Oh dear, Wei Lai, please don’t ask me. I won’t assist you. Well then, get some rest early,” Jiang Chun denied Wei Lai further questioning. She had said what she needed to, and it was up to Wei Lai to understand.
After the conversation with Jiang Chun, Wei Lai had a plan in mind.
Even if her grandfather didn’t allow her to go, what did it matter? This world was full of coincidences. If she could “coincidentally” run into Shen Jun at the restaurant, she would dress up nicely. With her looks, she was certainly not inferior to Wen Nian. Who knew, Shen Jun might notice her.
With her decision made, Wei Lai quickly went to select clothes and applied a hydrating face mask. She awaited tomorrow, ready to appear before Shen Jun in the best condition.
As the time neared, Jiang Chun also took action. She reached out to Shen Jun on her phone.
Jiang Chun: I’m really sorry about today. Wen Nian must have misunderstood again, right? If she’s upset, I can explain to her. It’s my fault today. If I had managed to hold onto Wei Lai, things wouldn’t have upset Wen Nian so much, and your date would not have been disrupted. I’m truly sorry.
Just after seeing Wen Nian off, Shen Jun noticed Jiang Chun’s message. It was already ten in the evening, and he found it somewhat annoying that Jiang Chun seemed to prefer contacting him at night.
However, as he read the message, he felt that her tendency to take responsibility was showing again.
After some consideration, he replied.
Shen Jun: She didn’t misunderstand. Don’t overthink it. Wen Nian isn’t that kind of person. Besides, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to apologize.
Seeing Shen Jun’s defense of Wen Nian between the lines, Jiang Chun felt a hint of jealousy. But she still needed to maintain her facade.
Jiang Chun: 1 know Wen Nian is a good girl. I just don’t want any misunderstandings between you two. As long as there are no misunderstandings, 1’11 sleep now. Good night.
Shen Jun: Good night.
Jiang Chun touched the words “good night” on her phone, a smile forming on her lips.
On Sunday, Wen Nian followed her study plan diligently, but she couldn’t sit still no matter what she did.
Looking at the clock, it was already three in the afternoon. Wen Nian still had two sets of practice papers to complete. She kept glancing at her phone, her focus nowhere near her studies.
“Wen Nian,” Shen Jun was a bit annoyed, “don’t panic when things happen. Your top priority now is to study. Don’t think about anything else.”
Wen Nian blushed and stole a glance at him, feeling embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I’m just a bit worried. You know, this matter involves my grandfather’s death and our family…”
Wen Nian didn’t know how to explain. In her past life, the Wei family was destroyed by the Wei family, and everyone met a tragic end. The entire family of five perished, a tragedy others couldn’t truly understand. She really couldn’t stay calm.
Shen Jun sighed and drew her close, embracing her. “I’m here, I’ll definitely help you find out the truth. Don’t worry.”
Shen Jun’s chest was strong and broad, and listening to his powerful heartbeat, Wen Nian gradually relaxed her mind. Eventually, she managed to finish the two sets of papers in a little over two hours.
Looking at the reasonably accurate answers on the papers, Shen Jun finally smiled. He caressed Wen Nian’s hair and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “That’s right, as long as you focus, there’s nothing you can’t achieve.”
Wen Nian glanced at the papers and sighed in relief. She knew that studying was the most important thing. If she couldn’t balance everything, studying would always come first.
Shen Jun handed her a glass of juice and said, “I’ll go over the mistakes with you at school tomorrow. Get ready now, we have a tough battle ahead.”
With that, Wen Nian adjusted her mindset..
