Chapter 50: There’s One Thing I’m Good At

Now that Shen Yugui lost them, she did not know where to start searching for them again on such a large campus.

She went back in defeat. There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so she simply returned home.

Evening soon fell.

She was lying on the bed when she received a call from Zhang Qianqian. “Congxin, look at the class chat!”

Shen Yugui opened up WeChat and saw that their class group chat had exploded, and there were already 999+ unread messages.

Shen Yugui clicked into it and scrolled up patiently before finally finding the cause of the incident.

Half an hour ago, Liu Lin had suddenly sent a wall of text in the group: [I’m sorry. I just got the whole story. I misunderstood Zhilan. In my freshman year, Zhilan told me that Shen Congxin and her shared the same father, but I subconsciously thought that Shen Congxin was an illegitimate daughter and widely spread that false rumor. Zhilan didn’t know about this. She was wrongly accused. I just learned that Shen Zhilan’s father and mother were truly in love, but Shen Congxin’s mother took away their happiness by force. Shen Congxin’s mother threatened Shen Zhilan’s mother and forced their father to marry her. When Shen Zhilan’s father married Shen Congxin’s mother, Shen Zhilan’s mother was already pregnant with her elder brother. That’s the evidence. In other words, we all misunderstood Zhilan. Even if she’s an illegitimate daughter, she only has that identity because of Shen Congxin’s mother’s oppression. That’s also why Zhilan’s father treats her so well but ignores Shen Congxin. @everyone]

The following were responses:

[Is that true?]

[I knew it. Zhilan is so kind. So there really was something fishy going on…]

[…]

Their attitudes suddenly changed and began to favor Shen Zhilan.

Shen Yugui could not help but ask. “Qianqian, why is it that when I tell the truth, no one believes me, but when she gives such a groundless explanation, everyone believes her?”

Zhang Qianqian was silent for a moment. “Maybe it’s because you’re not good with people?”

Shen Yugui lowered her head and smirked. “There’s one thing I’m good at.”

Zhang Qianqian. “?”

“I’m good at making people angry.”

Zhang Qianqian. “…”

Shen Yugui smiled coldly. “Just wait and see!”

She hung up and pushed the matter to the back of her head. What was there to be afraid of in an argument between children? The most important thing now was to woo Fei Nancheng!

‘Question is, how am I supposed to do that?’

She picked up her phone again and looked for methods on Baidu.

In the end, she finally thought of a method she saw in a TV series she watched before. In the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, the girl sent three messages to the guy and then recalled them[1].

The second day, when the man woke up and saw those messages, he would surely be curious about what the girl sent, and then it would lead to an ambiguous topic.

Shen Yugui decided to give it a try!

She lay on her back… And fell asleep by accident.

Fortunately, she knew herself well enough to set an alarm for 2am.

When the alarm went off, she picked up her phone and found Fei Nancheng’s WeChat contact, and sent him three messages: [Hm] [Ah] [Oh], and recalled the messages.

Then, she fell back on the bed, satisfied, and went to sleep.

The next day when she woke up, she immediately checked her phone.

The interface was clean. There were no new messages.

Shen Yugui bit her lip.

‘What if that man doesn’t reply?’

She got up, washed and tidied herself up before going to school.

Her phone suddenly vibrated just as she arrived in the classroom.

Shen Yugui picked it up and glanced at it, and discovered that Fei Nancheng had actually replied to her!!

As if she had just won the grand prize, she unlocked her phone and excitedly tapped into it…
