Chen Zifan was stunned. He looked at Zhang Qianqian subconsciously and saw how her eyes were rimmed red fighting back tears. He suddenly felt annoyed. “That’s right! Birds of a feather flock together. That’s what I meant!”
Shen Yugui was unhurried and looked at Shen Zhilan. “Well then, are your friends with Shen Zhilan?”
Chen Zifan answered without hesitation. “Of course.”
Shen Yugui tilted her head and looked at Chen Zifan as if she pitied him. She asked in a curious and soft voice. “So why are you scolding yourself?”
Chen Zifan’s eyes immediately narrowed.
What was that supposed to mean? He was not following the conversation.
Shen Zhilan, who was watching the scene, was instantly taken aback.
Just as Chen Zifan was about to speak again, she quickly took a step forward in fear. “Brother Zifan, forget it.”
However, Chen Zifan was adamant. He stared angrily at Shen Yugui. “How dare you? I didn’t have the time to bother you recently, but I’d never expected that that would get to your head.”
Shen Yugui smiled at him and opened her mouth when Shen Zhilan suddenly stepped forward. She grabbed Shen Yugui’s arm and tried to warn her. “Sister, let’s not talk about family matters in school. It doesn’t reflect well on us!”
Shen Yugui nodded her head obediently.
Shen Zhilan sighed in relief, and then heard her say innocently, “That’s right. I won’t publicize the fact that you’re actually an illegitimate daughter.”
Shen Zilan. “…!!”
“Huh!”
That sentence was like a bomb. The entire class instantly blew up.
“What did she just say? Did I hear that wrongly?”
“Panda Eyes isn’t the illegitimate daughter? Shen Zhilan is?”
“That’s impossible! If that was the truth, why didn’t she explain herself three years ago? She must be making it up!”
“Yeah, just look at how they’re dressed. How could an illegitimate daughter dress so brightly? Wouldn’t an illegitimate daughter be more like Panda Eyes, poor and living in poverty?”
“There must be something wrong with my ears today! I just heard the funniest joke of this century!”
“…”
As Shen Yugui expected, no one believed what she said.
Shen Zhilan was frightened and widened her eyes in disbelief at Shen Yugui. She never expected that this ugly woman would actually say that.
However, she quickly recovered after hearing the responses. She looked at Chen Zifan and caught a glimpse of his frown, and took the lead in retorting against Shen Yugui. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Liu Ling also returned to her senses. She took a step forward and said disdainfully. “Hey, ugly, how could you flip the truth like that? You’re willing to go that far just to sit in the middle? You actually said that Zhilan is an illegitimate daughter? I’m telling you, your brain is damaged. You need a doctor!”
She looked at Shen Yugui from top to bottom in disdain with a face full of disbelief.
Zhang Qianqian heard the unpleasant words and said angrily, “We’re just talking about the matter. Why do you have to resort to personal attacks? Both parties are here. Wouldn’t we know if we just ask them who the real illegitimate daughter is?
When the words fell, everyone looked at Shen Zhilan.
Shen Zhilan’s eyes turned red and she lowered her head. She cried as if aggrieved. “Sister, how could you say that about me… Sob sob…”
She did not answer the question directly, but it made everyone believe that Shen Yugui was lying.
Shen Yugui looked at her acting again and smiled.
