Chapter 150

In reality, Shen Anran has more poise.

Lin Miao knew that her family background and education were inferior to Shen Anran's, so she felt a little inferior.

Coupled with the fact that she had been beaten into such a sorry state by Shu Hong, she dared not even look at Shen Anran.

How embarrassing!

Moreover, Shen Anran was the person Qiao Muting liked.

She truly felt both envy and jealousy toward Shen Anran.

Shen Anran only glanced at Lin Miao before looking at Shu Xia.

No one could see the undercurrents beneath her smile.

She had someone investigate Shu Xia: she had grown up in the countryside since childhood and was the true daughter of the Lin Family, but she was disliked by the Lin Family; she was currently working in Gu Lao's team and was not Qiao Muting's secretary.

If she wasn't Qiao Muting's secretary, then it was the kind of relationship she had imagined.

Gu Lao's team had extremely strict requirements, and many people with real talent couldn't get in; that Shu Xia, who had only graduated from university for less than two years and wasn't even in a relevant field, had actually managed to enter Gu Lao's team—she didn't believe for a second that there wasn't some backroom dealing by Qiao Muting involved.

"Miss Shu, we meet again," Shen Anran said.

Shu Xia smiled and nodded, "Hello, Miss Shen."

What kind of luck is this?

Running into someone Qiao Muting cares about?

This mall shouldn't be that high-end, should it?

"We happened to run into each other; if Miss Shu has time, let's go grab a coffee," Shen Anran asked.

Shu Xia smiled and said, "Let's do it next time. I'm out shopping with my younger brother today, and I have to be at work in half an hour."

"I didn't get a chance to add you on WeChat when we last met; let's add each other now, and I'll ask you to meet up when you're free," Shen Anran had already taken out her phone.

Shu Xia originally didn't want to have too much contact with Shen Anran, but under these circumstances, if she didn't open WeChat to add her as a friend, it would seem a bit deliberate.

After adding her as a friend, Shen Anran left directly.

Lin Miao realized it belatedly, "When did you get to know Shen Anran? How could you possibly know Shen Anran?" she questioned Shu Xia.

Shen Anran and they were not in the same circle; Shen Anran belonged to Qiao Muting's circle.

How could someone in that circle speak so politely to Shu Xia?

It was truly inconceivable.

Shu Xia gave Lin Miao a cold glance, "You're overstepping."

"Try yelling at my sister again, I dare you? I'd rather skip the college entrance exam than not beat you into the hospital!" Shu Hong pointed at Lin Miao and said angrily.

He had now seen with his own eyes that Lin Miao was bullying Shu Xia.

Lin Miao's eyes widened, "Shu Hong! I am your biological sister!"

"Then leave the Lin Family! As long as you move back home, I'll acknowledge you as my sister from now on. You can't let go of the Lin Family's wealth, yet you look down on us at the same time. Do you think everyone else is a marionette who has to listen to you? Idiot." Shu Hong could no longer hold back his insults.

Lin Miao was so angry her face turned bright red, and she stomped her feet, "Do you believe I'll call and complain to your mother right now?"

"Go ahead, complain. I'm waiting," Shu Hong was completely unafraid.

Their whole family had brains, unlike the people in the Lin Family.

From childhood to adulthood, the thing he feared least was being complained about.

"The people in the Lin Family can be fooled by you because you all live under the same roof. Once you leave the Lin Family, who do you think you can still fool? My younger brother has always had a good temper and has been a sweet boy since he was little. If he's been pushed to the point of hitting someone, you should reflect on how vile you really are," Shu Xia said sarcastically.

Shu Hong nodded in agreement, "I only lose my composure when I see shameless people."

Lin Miao rarely lost the upper hand when arguing with others; usually, if there were people around, she would pretend to be weak, and then someone would stand up for her.

The friend she had arranged to meet today hadn't arrived yet.
