Chapter 3
Unknown Concern
Shan Yue raised her eyebrows as she watched Shan Chen leave. She clearly remembered that this brother of hers had always been indifferent to her. But why did she sense a hint of concern and worry from Shan Chen’s soft reminder?
How interesting. Quietly, Shan Yue hid the smile in her eyes as she closed the door and followed.
Today was Friday, and because Shan Yue had just been discharged from the hospital, Shan An specially bought a chicken and made chicken soup to nourish Shan Yue’s body.
She smelled the fragrance all the way to the dining room. Before Shan Yue could sit down, she heard a malicious voice say, “Sister, I think you’re recovering quite quickly! You don’t even look like someone who has fainted from drowning. I heard at school today that you deliberately fell into the water. I didn’t believe it at first.”
Shan Yue looked in the direction of the voice and realized that Shan Xing was looking at her with a smug smile, as if she was watching a good show. She stole a glance at Sun Ling, who had a gloomy expression on her face, as if she was deliberately trying to ignite Sun Ling’s anger. She added fuel to the fire and said, “Did you threaten the campus idol by jumping into the lake because he refused to agree to your confession?”
Shan Xing had deliberately picked such a time when everyone in the family was present to embarrass her and watch her embarrass herself.
Shan Yue pulled out a chair and sat down with a calm expression. She replied lightly, “It’s all nonsense. Shan Xing, you don’t believe your biological sister, why do you believe what outsiders say?”
Although her sister, Shan Xing, had a sweet and cute face, she was extremely mean to the Host, Shan Yue, and treated her as a humiliation and enemy. In Shan Yue’s memory, there were many times when Sun Ling hit and scolded her. It was all caused by Shan Xing deliberately fanning the flames.
Sure enough, as soon as she saw Shan Xing pout and become unhappy, Sun Ling, who was already full of complaints, exploded. She scolded, “You’re so sharp-tongued at home and only know how to bully your sister. Why are you as stupid as a pig outside? All you do is bad luck!”
When Shan Yue heard this, she understood that Sun Ling was still brooding over the loss of the 300,000 yuan. She decided not to speak as usual and lowered her head to eat seriously.
“That’s right. Look at yourself. You’re stupid and fat. Even if you love the school hunk to death, can he fall for you? You’re really a toad lusting after swan meat. You’re crazy!” Shan Xing looked at Shan Yue in disdain and disgust when she saw Sun Ling backing her up.
Only Shan Yue herself knew that the truth about the original owner of the body falling into the water yesterday was not what the rumors said. In order to force the school hunk to agree to her confession, she jumped into the lake. In fact, the original owner of the body did intend to confess, but it was just to express her many years of love. The dramatic thing was that Shan Yue waited bitterly until the sky turned dark, but the school hunk, Yu Hao, did not come to the appointment at all.
And the original owner did not jump into the water herself. She was pushed into the water!
Shan Yue still remembered the appearance of the person who pushed her. Since she was lucky enough to take over Shan Yue’s body, she naturally had to take revenge personally. Hence, she couldn’t be bothered to explain to Sun Ling and Shan Xing.
“I’m full,” Shan Yue said lightly after a few simple bites.
She did not eat much of the meal. Her stomach was still empty because she had already made up her mind to lose weight. She would not overeat like the Host used to. She had to make plans for her health.
Seeing that Shan Yue’s face was calm, as if she didn’t care about the insults just now, Sun Ling felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and anger. If it were any other time, Shan Yue would have been so frightened that she would have hidden under the table with tears in her eyes. What right did Shan Yue have to speak to her so calmly?
Sun Ling was an extremely prideful person. She had to compare herself with the people around her in everything. If her family background could not compare, Sun Ling could only compare herself to children. Fortunately, Shan Xing and Shan Chen’s results were very good, and their looks were better than ordinary people. They had brought her a lot of honor.
In contrast, Sun Ling despised and made things difficult for Shan Yue, who was often used as a joke. Sun Ling also regarded Shan Yue as a stain in her life.
