Shen Yugui bowed her head and looked timid. “Mr Fei isn’t happy.”

Shen Tianhao immediately became nervous. “What happened?”

Shen Yugui glanced at his expression and sneered in her heart.

She deliberately hesitated. “Mr Fei’s cousin Chen Zifan is in my class. Chen Zifan said some unpleasant things to Mr Fei which made him very angry.”

It went from ‘not happy’ to ‘very angry’. Shen Tianhao expectedly grew even more concerned. “What did he say? What happened?”

Shen Yugui sighed, but the corners of her lips hooked up.

The opportunity to prove that her elder sister was not an illegitimate daughter had come.

What was better than having your own father tell the truth?

–

The next day, the morning public course and the computing major had class together.

Shen Yugui deliberately arrived earlier and sat in the middle after entering the classroom.

Zhang Qianqian was dumbfounded at this sight. She gulped. “Congxin, this seat has always been Shen Zhilan’s. You…”

Shen Yugui raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Qianqian.

Zhang Qianqian immediately sat down beside her, supporting her best friend. “Isn’t it just a seat? We can sit anywhere! I’ve always wanted to say this. Even if your mother is a mistress, you’re innocent! Shen Zhilan seems like she studies hard and looks pretty. She’s even praised as the flower of the department, but she never helped you guard this secret which caused everyone to ostracise you. She’s definitely a scheming person! You’re really too kind. There are times where you have to be tough and stand your ground!”

Shen Yugui’s heart grew slightly warm.

Although her elder sister only had one friend, this friend was enough.

She looked at Zhang Qianqian and explained. “I’m not an illegitimate daughter.”

Zhang Qianqian was shocked. “What?”

“My father and mother are lawfully wed.”

This secret left Zhang Qianqian stunned. “You mean that the mistress’s daughter is Shen Zhilan? How could that be? When Shen Zhilan was taking the university entrance examination and failed to achieve the admission mark required for our university, it was her father, no, your father who donated a laboratory to the school which allowed her to be specially accepted! How could…”

It was the first time Shen Yugui learned of this. She sneered. She did not think that Shen Tianhao doted on Shen Zhilan so much.

It was no wonder Shen Zhilan dared to pull off such a big lie without any fear. She was not afraid that her sister would tell the truth. Even if her sister dared to say that Shen Zhilan was the illegitimate daughter, no one in the class would believe her!

Zhang Qianqian looked at her with a conflicted expression. “Congxin, is that really true?”

Shen Yugui nodded and was about to speak when an arrogant voice sounded. “What’s true? Why are you two sitting here?”

Shen Yugui turned and saw Shen Zhilan enter the classroom. The one who raised her voice at them was the girl standing beside her, Liu Ling.

Shen Zhilan put on an expression of magnanimousness and looked at Liu Ling. “We’re all students. We should just let her sit there if she wants to!”

Although that was what she said, she did not look for another place to sit and instead continued to stare at them.

Liu Ling predictably grew angry and took a step forward. “You two, get out of the way!”

Zhang Qianqian arranged her books on the table and gave her a defiant look. “This public course offers free seating. If you’re late, then just go to the back! Why should we be the ones to go?”

Liu Ling bellowed. “It’s because she’s an illegitimate daughter! It’s because her mother destroyed Zhilan’s family!”
