When Chen Zifan entered, he did not know what had happened. He only saw Shen Zhilan and Shen Yugui standing together. He frowned subconsciously. “Panda Eyes, what are you up to now?”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Tianhao’s voice spoke from the phone. “Congxin, no matter what, daddy won’t divorce your mother. However, you shouldn’t bully Zhilan at school and call her an illegitimate daughter. You’re all daddy’s children!”
Chen Zifan. “??”
He was stunned. The words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
He looked incredulously at Shen Zhilan, who was equally shocked, and asked, “What did he say?”
Shen Yugui looked at Shen Zhilan. She was in awe at how she had been provocative mere seconds ago, but immediately froze with just one sentence. Her lips hooked up.
Shen Zhilian had always did whatever she wanted by relying on Shen Tianhao’s favor, but if that were the case, all Shen Yugui had to do was make Shen Tianhao let her down in front of all their classmates!
Furthermore… Chen Zifan, whom Shen Zhilian liked, put a lot of importance on identity.
Everything Shen Zhilian belonged to Shen Congxin, her elder sister!!
She would help her sister get everything back bit by bit!
Shen Zhilan bit her lip. Her face was as white as paper as she stubbornly shouted at the phone. “Daddy, you’re mistaken!”
Shen Tianhao paused before saying, “Zhilan, I have to let you down in front of all these people. That’s daddy’s fault. Whatever you want, daddy will buy for you.”
…
“So it turns out that she’s only so rich because her father thinks he owes it to her?”
“Her father is too much! How could he treat an illegitimate daughter like that? Shen Congxin is so pitiful!”
“That’s right. Shen Congxin even worked part-time while she was studying!”
“What did she say so shamelessly earlier? Tell the legal wife to let her husband spend time with the mistress? Now that I think about it, how could she have said something like that?!”
“Heavens. This woman is terrible!”
At this moment, a ‘knock knock knock’ sounded as the teacher stood on the platform with a duster in her hand. She banged on the blackboard. “It’s time for class. What are you all doing there?”
The crowd immediately dispersed.
Shen Yugui hung up and became the cowardly ‘ugly woman’ again. She kindly reminded Shen Zhilan. “Sister, class is starting. Why don’t you sit down?”
Just this sentence returned everyone’s attention back to Shen Zhilan.
Shen Zhilan felt as if she had been stripped of her clothes and was naked in front of everyone. The side-glances and disdain in their eyes as they looked at her made her whole body tremble. She tried to defend herself, but her mind went completely blank.
So this was how Shen Congxin felt when she was ostracized.
She went to her seat robotically and was about to sit down when Zhang Qianqian said in a small but sarcastic voice. “Didn’t you say that illegitimate children don’t deserve to sit beside legitimate children?”
She pointed to the back corner of the classroom and said with a smile. “Shen Zhilan, that’s where you belong.”
Shen Zhilan was so angry that tears fell from her eyes.
Out of all the classmates that helped her ridicule that ugly woman before, none of them stood up to help say a word on her behalf now.
Shen Congxin had Zhang Qianqian, but what about her?
Shen Zhilan’s eyes rested on Liu Ling. Liu Ling was dumbfounded, as if she was heartbroken. When Shen Zhilan walked over, she shot her a vicious look and picked up her bag before walking to the side. She deliberately bumped Shen Zhilan’s shoulder as she passed. “To think I was friends with a bitch like you!”
