Chapter 993: Chapter 1017: Novel Plot
This is just like one of those plotlines in later novels, where a scheming uncle secretly loves his niece for years, eyeing her like a big bad wolf on a little white rabbit...
Sigh, having such a big bad wolf, Nianyang worries about her clueless brother. When will Nuannuan finally become her sister-in-law?
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Nuan waved a hand in front of the daydreaming Nianyang.
Nianyang snapped back to reality, staring at Shi Nuan, "I say, Nuannuan, why did you cut your hair again? Will it kill you to grow it out long?"
Shi Nuan touched her short hair and chuckled,
"You don’t get it. I’m used to being rough. When my hair is long, I’m too lazy to manage it. With short hair, think about how much time I save in the morning..."
Nianyang was speechless for a moment, and noticed out of the corner of her eye that Zhong Wenqing and He Huixi were walking over one after the other.
Oh, she almost forgot. In this training, the outstanding ones also included He Huixi and Zhong Wenqing. They were going to the advanced training school together too.
"Nianyang, you’re here early. Long time no see."
Seeing Nianyang looking over at her, Zhong Wenqing greeted her somewhat joyfully. Ever since Master Yu came to the school to select students, she knew it was Nianyang who saved her, and her perception of Nianyang completely changed.
However, Nianyang hadn’t come to school much since then, and Zhong Wenqing had no chance to repay her.
Luckily, now she had another chance to train with Nianyang again.
Nianyang didn’t have much of an impression of Zhong Wenqing anymore. She heard her, nodded indifferently, while He Huixi still had an imposing attitude, but after the stone gambling incident, she dared not provoke Nianyang again.
She glanced meaningfully at Shi Nuan,
"Shi Nuan, I really couldn’t tell, you’re actually Dean Lu’s niece, indeed the adopted daughter of the Shi Family?"
Adopted daughter.
These words were full of contempt.
Just like everyone else who knew about her background, they would unanimously look down on her.
Shi Nuan’s face changed slightly, she tugged at her lips, ignoring He Huixi.
He Huixi was embarrassed, her attitude worsened,
"Shi Nuan, what do you mean? You’re just an adopted daughter in the Shi Family, abandoned by your own parents, not a real young lady, so why are you acting so high and mighty? Truly no self-awareness."
The reason He Huixi knew Shi Nuan was an adopted daughter was because the Shi Family had only announced the identities of Shi Feng and Shi Yue, the twins, and only referred to Shi Nuan as the adopted daughter, not even mentioning her name.
So hearing Shi Nuan call Lu Xingshen uncle, and combining it with Shi Nuan’s name, He Huixi figured it out.
She couldn’t help feeling satisfied, previously seeing the good relationship between Shi Nuan and Nianyang, she thought Shi Nuan had powerful backing.
But now it seemed, she was just like a piece of trash from a garbage pile.
How can such a character compete with her for Chu Zhan?
Everyone has weaknesses that cannot be touched, once touched, they collapse.
Shi Nuan’s weakness was her background. Living under someone else’s roof, watching people’s expressions, being cautious and uneasy.
Already insecure and lacking confidence, she never revealed her identity to others.
Now being blatantly exposed by He Huixi, she felt utterly embarrassed, plus a sense of shame.
Coldness spread, her lips lightly trembled.
But then, a hand warmly held hers.
It was Nianyang. She gave Shi Nuan an encouraging look, then coldly turned to He Huixi, very rudely saying,
"Do you believe me, if you utter another word, I’ll make you an orphan?"
