Chapter 251: New Idea

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Xiao was still adjusting to life in Hai City. Luckily, Wei Feng was covering his living expenses. With the prospect of nurturing a connection with Shen Jun and potentially becoming the future successor of the Wei family, Wei Xiao wasn’t opposed to the lifestyle of a high school student in the city. In fact, he relished the attention from his classmates.

However, the weight of the mission his grandfather had entrusted him with still gave Wei Xiao a constant headache.

Shen Jun was akin to an enigmatic and cold King of Hell. With his striking looks and academic excellence, even disregarding his family background, many girls would likely vie for his attention.

Yet, Shen Jun’s perpetually inscrutable countenance deterred most.

Wei Xiao attempted to extend his friendly overtures several times, only to be met with silence from Shen Jun. He assumed an air of superiority that ignited Wei Xiao’s ire.

During classes, Wei Xiao caught a glimpse of Shen Jun and Wen Nian, leaning intimately against each other. Wen Nian’s face bore a grave expression, punctuated by intermittent frowns, while Shen Jun attentively tapped the notepad with his pen, explaining something.

Seeing this, Wei Xiao suddenly felt a little depressed.

When the bell rang, he promptly exited the classroom. To dodge the attention of a few girls, he strategically retreated to a corner of the third-floor staff room.

“Wei Xiao? What brings you here?” Jiang Chun’s voice came from behind him, carrying a stack of graded papers.

Wei Xiao swiftly masked his vexation and responded, “The classroom felt a bit suffocating. I wanted to get some fresh air.”

Noticing his troubled demeanor, Jiang Chun offered a knowing smile. “Seeing your former fiancee with a new boyfriend wouldn’t sit well with anyone, right?” “Cut it out! If Jiang Ning catches wind of this, he’ll surely give me more trouble,” Wei Xiao hastily retorted. His union with the Jiang family was crucial at this point, forming the bedrock of his standing within the Wei family.

Jiang Chun’s eyes widened innocently. “Oops, my bad. 1 was just joking! But you’ve got to admit, Brother Shen Jun treats Wen Nian extraordinarily well. He seems to hang on her every word.”

Wei Xiao regarded her with suspicion. “Are you serious?”

Jiang Chun nodded energetically. “If it weren’t for Brother Shen Jun’s support, how could Wen Nian, a girl from an ordinary background, have managed to achieve that when dealing with the matters involving Jiang Ning and Wei Lai?”

Jiang Chun’s natural good looks were accentuated by his impeccable acting skills.

Wei Xiao’s thoughts wandered to the interactions he had observed between Shen Jun and Wen Nian during class. It did seem to be the case.

Jiang Chun caught onto Wei Xiao’s expression and sensed her words had taken root.

Seizing the opportunity, she continued, “And remember, you and Wen Nian were engaged once. Jiang Ning mentioned Wen Nian went to great lengths for you before. If Wen Nian speaks up for you now, won’t that solidify the connection with the Shen family?”

“Do you really think Wen Nian would support me?” Wei Xiao’s inquiry bore a lack of confidence.

Jiang Chun nodded once more, her expression tinged with longing. “Which girl could easily forget her first love? Plus, you two were engaged.”

“And what kind of family is the Shen family? Wen Nian is indeed very good, but Uncle Shen and the others have to consider the Shen family’s future, right? What kind of person do you think the mistress of the Shen family is?”

Seeing the sudden glint in Wei Xiao’s eyes, Jiang Chun knew that she had achieved her goal. Then, she quickly found an excuse to return to class.

A faint smile played on Wei Xiao’s lips. Jiang Chun’s words were not without merit. Who was the Shen family, after all? How could a prestigious family like theirs not be open to marriage alliances?

Beauty alone, even if Wen Nian possessed the allure of a fairy, wouldn’t suffice. Such a woman wouldn’t likely find favor with the Wei family, let alone the Shen family.

They might seem loving right now, but they might end up breaking up during high school graduation.

Recalling the day he visited the Wen family, Wei Nian’s demeanor toward him had indeed softened. Contemplating her current status as a minor celebrity, a new notion sparked within him.

Wei Xiao coincidentally reentered the classroom as the bell rang. Passing by Wen Nian, he intentionally bumped into her desk, causing her fountain pen to tumble to the ground.

“I’m sorry, this fountain pen is broken. 1-1’11 compensate you with a new one.” He took the fountain pen away.

Wen Nian was about to request her pen back when the teacher entered the room, leading her to abandon the thought.

About ten minutes into the class, a note landed on Wen Nian’s desk from Wei Xiao.

“I didn’t mean to do that earlier. 1’11 buy you a new fountain pen. Also, here’s my WeChat number.. You removed me before, but could you add me back?”
