Kapitel 7: Chapter 7 Not Stupid Enough Yet

Wenyan was adopted and brought home by Shen Yuan when Shen Jingxiu had already gone abroad to study.

Although they were siblings in name, Shen Jingxiu felt almost no affection for the original adoptee and had never been curious about her.

Not until last night did he suddenly start to hear her inner voice.

Sitting back-to-back two chairs apart, Shen Jingxiu now wondered if he could catch any more of her thoughts.

Wenyan had no idea that sitting behind her was none other than the eldest son of the Shen Family.

She quickly ordered her meal.

It didn't matter whether the food was good; the important thing was to thoroughly fleece Qiao Kexin.

Watching the server take the order, Qiao Kexin's heart was bleeding. To save money, she had to skimp on her own meal.

And now, to make matters worse, Wenyan said half-jokingly, "Kexin, it's not often that you treat me to a meal, so I won't be polite with you."

Qiao Kexin's face darkened, "Don't be polite with me, Yanyan. Order whatever you want, as long as you're happy."

"Then rest assured, I'm really happy today. I had a SPA treatment, bought a bag, and now I'm having a big meal."

!!! Qiao Kexin was furious. The SPA treatment cost her 150,000, the bag she borrowed 50,000 for, and even this meal was on her tab!

Wenyan hadn't spent a single penny today, so of course she was happy!

Harboring resentment, Qiao Kexin seemed completely unaware that Wenyan was simply playing the same game she did.

And all this was just the appetizer.

While waiting for the meal, Wenyan suddenly took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag.

First, she exaggeratedly sighed, then said.

"Kexin, actually, I lied to you just now. At the C Family's store, when you asked if I was having a financial crisis, I denied it. I didn't want to be overheard by their staff; it would have been embarrassing."

Qiao Kexin frowned, "What do you mean, Yanyan? What happened to you?"

"Well, something did happen. Kexin, my allowance has been cut off by my family. Because I've been constantly pressuring Shen Zhirou, we had a big argument at my mom's birthday party the night before last, so my allowance was stopped."

At the table next door, Shen Jingxiu: ...... He had stayed overnight at home during the birthday party, and he had no idea that Wenyan had an unpleasant confrontation with her parents.

As for pocket money...

'Ding', his mobile phone chirped.

He glanced at the screen and saw a notification about a change in his bank card balance.

Even though he had reached adulthood and started working, the family tradition of giving pocket money hadn't changed; it was the same for all four children and one adopted daughter of the family.

And following the 'ding' from his phone, he almost immediately heard Wenyan's phone at the table behind him ring as well—it was likely a message alert for a change in the balance of her bank card.

Of course, Wenyan saw it too.

200,000 had been deposited all at once!!! She could hardly keep the corners of her mouth from turning up.

But the show was only halfway through; she had to carry on to truly savor the moment.

"So Kexin, I'm now a broke person without a job or any allowance, and I have no idea when my adoptive parents will cool down. Please help me, Kexin."

Qiao Kexin's lips twitched, "Uh... Yanyan, as you know, I don't have much status in my stepfather's home, how could I possibly help you?"

"Don't worry, Kexin! We are the best of sisters, and I certainly wouldn't make things difficult for you. It's just that I need to ask for the money you borrowed from me before, and I'm afraid it needs to be repaid today. Look, I've already printed out the transfer record on this piece of paper. Let's just deduct the 50,000 yuan you borrowed to buy the bag today from your debt.

In the last two years, you've borrowed a total of 600,000 yuan from me. Subtracting the 50,000 for the bag, you still need to repay 550,000 yuan. I am really counting on your timely support now, as Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon, and I was planning to take the opportunity to buy some gifts to please my parents."

"......" Qiao Kexin was completely flabbergasted.

Before she had time to figure out what to say, Wenyan stuffed the printed bill into her hands.

"Kexin, why don't you just transfer it to me now? In a bit, I'm planning to buy a diamond bracelet for my mom, which is going to cost quite a bit, so hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

With an innocent face, Wenyan urged Qiao Kexin, who at the moment had no idea what to do.

Would she actually plan to take back the money she had borrowed a year ago? She thought that Wenyan had long forgotten about it.

Every time it was only about borrowing ten or twenty thousand, had it really accumulated to as much as 600,000 yuan?

Qiao Kexin couldn't believe the records on the A4 paper and quietly opened her banking app.

And the reason Qiao Kexin opened the banking app was actually to check the accounts.

Seizing the opportunity, Wenyan suddenly grabbed her hand, "Kexin, you really are my good sister, agreeing to transfer it just like that. Just wait, once I win back my parents' favor, I will definitely treat you even better. I'm really looking forward to it. With your money, I can go and buy gifts for my parents."

With things having come to this point, Qiao Kexin was still planning on freeloading off of Wenyan in the future. Now she had no choice but to repay the money, whether she wanted to or not.

After transferring the money, Qiao Kexin felt completely drained, as if her soul had been emptied out.

"Yanyan, I'm going to the restroom."

"Sure, you go. By the time you come back, the appetizers should be here."

Qiao Kexin forced a smile, then pushed back her chair and turned to leave.

Once she was far enough away, Wenyan put away her phone and scoffed, "Little thing, you'll have to spit out everything you ate from me. You really think I'm easy to bully."

Shen Jingxiu was drinking water and nearly sprayed it out upon hearing this.

Everyone in the Shen Family knew that Wenyan had a not-so-great friend. Su Yang had warned Wenyan twice, but each time Wenyan got very worked up when this friend was mentioned.

Saying things like "Why is it that the friends Shen Zhirou makes are good, but mine are not?" After that, Su Yang stopped cautioning her and would just occasionally complain to Shen Yuan.

Shen Jingxiu had heard it happen twice.

But judging from just now, it seemed Wenyan wasn't foolish to a fault.

Turning on the acting to pretend to be poor, she coaxed her friend into obediently paying back the money, all the while not offending anyone.

How come he never noticed she was such an actress before?

But upon reflection, Shen Jingxiu realized that he had not had much contact with Wenyan in the past; they only met at home, and even then just acknowledged each other with a nod.

This was the first time they had encountered each other in a public place outside of the Shen Family villa.

Thinking of these things, Shen Jingxiu unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.

He himself did not notice this slight smile, but the woman with long curly hair sitting opposite him was momentarily dazed.
