Regarding Shen Jun, Wen Nian likened him to a protagonist straight out of a renowned movie. In her eyes, he was like a heroic figure descending from a vibrant and mystical cloud, always appearing just when she needed him the most.
He was the complete opposite of Wei Xiao. He doesn’t give a lot of compliments but he was actively involved.
Their “affection” and “togetherness” were entirely rooted in their mutual understanding, which brought Wen Nian a sense of comfort within the relationship.
Upon discerning Shen Jun’s subtle suggestion, Wen Nian resolved to listen to her heart and planted a gentle kisson Shen Jun’s cheek.
Shen Jun’s body immediately tensed, evident by the rapid bobbing of his Adam’s apple.
Taken aback by Wen Nian’s unexpected actions, Shen Jun coughed softly and uttered, “Focus on your studies for now. Whether 1 can openly be with you hinges on your academic performance next semester.”
Observing Shen Jun’s reddened ears, Wen Nian’s spirits lifted. With a smile, she responded, “Absolutely!”
While Wen Nian was engrossed in peaceful studying, the class’s WeChat group suddenly erupted in the evening.
“Students, there’s big news!”
“What’s going on? Lately, I’ve been studying so much that I feel like my brain has turned to mush. I desperately need some sensational news to jolt my exhausted mind!”
“Is it the news about someone posing as a wealthy heir and scamming numerous affluent individuals?!”
“I just saw it on Hai City High School’s campus website a moment ago! That guy is incredibly cunning. Rumor has it that not only did he deceive wealthy wives, but he also managed to charm numerous affluent female students from nearby schools.”
“Sigh, it seems that in today’s society, good looks hold a disproportionate advantage. Those individuals almost invite deception! Men should recognize their own worth. Boys like us, who may have average looks but possess talent, don’t find them appealing. It’s disheartening that they are drawn to those deceitful scoundrels.”
It’s not solely about exploiting his appearance to deceive others; the crux of the matter lies in his pretense as a wealthy second-generation heir. Those girls, driven by their modest means and vanity, are all attempting to lend him money, hoping that by offering support in times of need, they can establish a lasting bond with him. It’s quite amusing. If he truly were a genuine heir from a wealthy background, why would he be interested in gold diggers like them?!
At this moment, Huang Yue’s eyes were red as she kept calling Wang Jing.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.” The mechanical voice came from the receiver again and again.
Exhausted from making over 50 phone calls throughout the night, Huang Yue finally succumbed to weariness and collapsed onto the bed.
Due to being underage, Huang Yue was unable to open her own stock account. Desperate to invest, she resorted to stealing several pieces of her mother’s gold jewelry and using them as collateral. She then invested the entire sum of 200,000 yuan into Wang Jing’s account.
Plus the 200,000 yuan she had lent to Wang Jing, Huang Yue felt so scared that she started trembling.
With her family receiving only 100,000 yuan per month for living expenses, Huang Yue dreaded the thought of the consequences she would face if her theft from her family was ever discovered.
Wen Nian’s tutoring session ended at 10 p.m., and once Shen Jun departed, she finally had a moment to check her WeChat messages, eager to see if anyone had reached out to her.
As Wen Nian witnessed the explosive activity in the group chat, her eyes darted around, a mischievous smile forming on her lips. With a wicked grin, she dialed Huang Yue’s number.
Lost in a daze, Huang Yue contemplated various means to obtain the money needed for reclaiming her jewelry. Just as she was consumed by her thoughts, a video call request from Wen Nian flashed on her screen. Instantly, a realization struck her—her current predicament was a direct consequence of that fateful call from Wen Nian!
Without hesitation, Huang Yue swiftly answered the video call, and on the screen emerged the charming visage of Wen Nian.
As Wen Nian gazed at Huang Yue’s worn-out expression on the screen, she quietly chuckled to herself. Realizing her own limitations, she reluctantly relied on the assistance of others. If she was capable, Huang Yue would be in a worse state than this.
Wen Nian smiled warmly and greeted Huang Yue, “Huang Yue, it’s been a while. I wanted to call today to express my gratitude. Although the head teacher might not have shared the reason behind my leave with everyone, 1 consider us good friends. Moreover, it was your words that made me reflect and take this filming opportunity. I wanted to reach out and inform you personally.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Yue’s initial shock faded, replaced by a sense of concern. Frowning, she asked, “You went to film? Did you sign a contract with Zhao Cheng?”
Wen Nian shook her head and smiled reassuringly. “Remember when the director invited me to play the female lead during our last meal? Well, I’m here to shoot that very scene now. It’s a legitimate production team. You’re familiar with Jiang Chao and Sun Li, right?”
Wen Nian’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she enthusiastically divulged, “Guess what? The actors who portrayed the third male lead and the third female lead in the highly popular drama ‘Pretty Little Chef and Domineering CEO’ are part of the same production team. I have numerous scenes alongside them! Filming has been an amazing experience—I receive good meals, comfortable accommodations, and truly enjoy the whole process. They even arranged for a tutor to support my studies..”
