Chapter 233: Unaware

~7 min read 1,289 words

After some maneuvering, Shen Yan finally confirmed that He Wenhui was definitely not a good bird.

The meaning behind her words could not have been more obvious.

She could turn a blind eye to a man being unfaithful before marriage, as long as he returned to the family after marriage.

With this kind of thinking and this level of awareness, who would believe she hadn't been through a few relationships!

At this very moment, Shen Jiaqing could be said to be full of question marks, his mouth slightly agape, looking at Shen Yan as if he had seen a ghost.

What on earth have you been through to end up like this?

High emotional intelligence, sweet-talking, especially good at coaxing girls to be happy—are they talking about you?

He could no longer tell which of Shen Yan's words were true and which were false.

As for the hidden mysteries in their conversation, Shen Jiaqing didn't quite understand, but one thing was obvious: He Wenhui liked outstanding men, not an honest person like him who didn't understand romance.

No wonder He Wenhui had always been lukewarm toward him since they met.

Sob sob sob! That stings, old buddy!

Noticing Shen Jiaqing's dejected and dispirited appearance, Shen Yan let out a soft breath.

At least he wasn't stupid to the core; it wasn't a waste of his painstaking efforts.

Making a phone call later to comfort him should be about enough.

The topic ended there.

Shen Yan pulled Shen Jiaqing aside to start chatting about daily life.

This time it was He Wenhui's turn to be flustered; what did this mean? Since he had taken a fancy to her, why stop chatting?

At the very least, he should have asked for contact information, right?

Right! He must have been wary of those three beauties being present.

Anyway, with the connection through Shen Jiaqing, she wouldn't have to worry about not getting his contact information.

So He Wenhui didn't say anything more and stood quietly to the side to listen.

After all, they had only known each other for a short week; it wasn't as if Shen Jiaqing liked He Wenhui that much. What made Shen Jiaqing more curious right now was what exactly had happened to make his cousin change so much.

Shen Yan said he usually read books on social interaction and had met all kinds of people at school, so it was normal for him to change; Shen Jiaqing was confused and easily fooled.

Even though Shen Yan had given an explanation, it was the same as saying nothing at all.

Read more social books, interact more with people.

Is the effect really that good?

However, he didn't pursue it further and asked Shen Yan again: "Then what's with this outfit of yours? Wenhui said this jacket you're wearing costs nearly two thousand."

Hearing this, He Wenhui was slightly stunned; the situation seemed different from what she had imagined. The Shen Family was not a wealthy family, otherwise Shen Jiaqing wouldn't have asked this.

Her ears pricked up high.

Shen Yan was slightly surprised by the sharpness of He Wenhui's gaze, and after licking his somewhat dry lips, he said: "There are too many people here with prying ears, let's talk in detail later."

After saying that, Shen Yan directly changed the subject and asked Shen Jiaqing what his plans were for the future, whether he was prepared to settle down here or what.

Shen Jiaqing couldn't quite keep up with Shen Yan's wild train of thought and always felt something was strange.

The topic seemed to be constantly led by this kid.

But he still answered truthfully: "I originally planned to go to Shanghai to take a look after the new year, but now that I've met..."

Halfway through his sentence, he secretly glanced at He Wenhui with his peripheral vision.

Then he reaffirmed his idea and said that while he was young, he was prepared to go to Shanghai to make his way.

"That's a good idea!"

Shen Yan deeply agreed with this; technical development in first-tier cities was relatively faster, talent was more concentrated, and one could learn more knowledge.

"......"

The brothers' conversation did not last long.

As all the rings were thrown, the group of four was already piled high with items of all sizes.

How to take them back was a problem.

Shen Yan said to Shen Jiaqing: "Brother Jiaqing, you guys go ahead and play, I need to take these things back first."

Shen Jiaqing readily agreed.

The hotel where the two of them were staying was in the opposite direction, so there was certainly no way to leave together.

He Wenhui, however, had some small ulterior motives, and before parting, she made a suggestion: "Since we are all here for tourism, why don't we team up? It'll be livelier with more people."

"Better to play separately, my classmates are a bit shy," Shen Yan waved his hand and refused directly.

With her plan falling through, He Wenhui had no choice but to wave goodbye reluctantly.

Then she disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Compared to arriving empty-handed, on the way back, the group of four had an extra handcart behind them, loaded with items of all sizes.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the group was setting up a stall to do business.

At this time, Yu Youwei could no longer suppress the curiosity in her heart and asked Shen Yan: "What kind of trick were you playing just now, talking nonsense with that woman and even saying you fall in love with everyone you see."

"Pfft!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Yue'er and Chen Shanni couldn't hold back and laughed out loud on the spot.

Immediately, the two looked at each other and gained a new understanding of one another.

Chen Shanni had always thought Wu Yue'er was carefree and straightforward; she never expected her to be so delicate in her thinking, actually seeing through the situation on the spot.

Wu Yue'er had always known the goody-two-shoes was meticulous, but she never expected her to be able to understand such high-level dialogue so thoroughly.

Seen this way, the goody-two-shoes was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

In fact, Wu Yue'er had truly misunderstood Chen Shanni; if it weren't for Shen Yan's behavior being too abnormal, she would never have noticed the clues, let alone conducted an in-depth analysis and judgment.

Seeing the two of them laughing there, the reason clearly lying with himself, Yu Youwei touched her face and scanned her body.

Everything is normal!

"Is there something wrong with me? What are you two laughing at?" Yu Youwei asked with a confused look on her face.

Wu Yue'er habitually stuck out her little tongue and said, "Youwei, you really are innocently cute; just now..."

Without needing Shen Yan to open his mouth at all, Wu Yue'er recounted the events that had just occurred, adding her own assessment of the situation.

???

Yu Youwei was stunned, her mouth hanging open as if she could swallow an egg.

So it turned out that those simple conversations had hidden so many mysteries within them.

He Wenhui was a high-end green tea bitch, constantly seducing Shen Yan; Shen Yan was helping his cousin test He Wenhui's character; both sides were insincere and engaged in several clashes; Shen Jiaqing was clueless and didn't understand what was being said; and finally, Shen Yan had set a trap, lured the enemy in deep, and ultimately won the victory.

The entire process had clearly taken place right under her nose, yet she had been like a fool, completely unaware.

No wonder the two of them couldn't help but laugh!
