Also at that moment, the hatred for Shen Yan took root in her soul.

Even if she were to live another lifetime, she wouldn’t be able to erase it.

“I didn’t arrange for anyone to assault you, which is already quite merciful,” Shen Wan grabbed her hair and leaned in close, her soft voice masking the chilling cruelty beneath.

“You like Qi Ziehen, don’t you? Unfortunately, he doesn’t share your sentiments!”

“Shut up! You wicked…”

Bang!

Shen Wan pressed her head onto the table, “This is to teach you a lesson about manners. Using such crude language is unacceptable. No wonder Qi Ziehen looks at you with such disdain.”

“Shen Wan, if you dare to treat me like this, my parents won’t let you off!” Shen Yan clenched her teeth, her face white with anger, and her throat felt as if it were stuffed with cotton, making it impossible for her to retort.

“Who would believe you? Do you have any evidence? But I do. Qi Ziehen saw you lay hands on me with his own eyes. So, what do you say? Shall we ask him to be a witness?”

Shen Yan turned pale. Qi Ziehen… her only weakness…

How could Shen Yan possibly let him see her in such a pitiful state?

Originally, there were maids around, but with all this commotion, it seemed no one was coming to help. It could only mean…

“This is what I call self-sabotage. You drove the maids away thinking you could deal with me, but in the end, you’ve trapped yourself, with no one to help. Shen Yan, how could you be so foolish?”

She was so choked up that her eye sockets turned red, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, rendering her unable to utter a word in retort.

She should have known better; facing Shen Wan, she never stood a chance.

Before, Shen Yan didn’t believe it and repeatedly tested her, provoking her time and time again. However, she foolishly attributed her failures to mere coincidences.

Once could be seen as a coincidence, and even twice might be explained away as chance, but what happens when it keeps happening for the third and fourth times?

“What do you want from me?!”

Shen Wan withdrew her hand and helped her to her feet, gently fixing her hair and straightening her clothes.

Shen Yan allowed her to do so in a daze, her pupils constricting, and her hair standing on end.

Uncanny…

A sense of uncanniness that was beyond words…

“I don’t really want anything,” Shen Wan said as she finished tidying Shen Yan’s scattered hair and adjusted her neckline. Her voice was gentle, and her smile seemed harmless. “I originally intended to get along with you and portray a deep sisterly bond. But you didn’t appreciate that, so I had to resort to another method. After all, who told you to refuse my friendly gesture and preferred me to punish you?”

Shen Yan stared at her with a bewildered expression, her limbs going cold, and her whole body stiffening as if she had seen a ghost.

“So,” Shen Wan gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear for her, her tone soft and her smile gentle, “you’d better not provoke my anger. Otherwise, in a moment of despair, I might run off to seduce your dear Brother Qi…”

“You dare!”

“You’ve already called me a slut. What else would I not dare to do? Well, it’s done.” Shen Wan stepped back. “Your hairstyle and dress today are both very beautiful.”

With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Shen Yan staring at her retreating figure, her eyes a mix of shock, dread, and resentment.

“You shouldn’t have set your sights on Brother Qi…” Her voice trailed off softly, barely audible, but the surrounding air inexplicably grew colder…

That night, Shen Yan had a high fever that wouldn’t abate, as if she were haunted by something, and she kept talking nonsense in her dreams.

“Quick! Call the family doctor! Have him come over right away!” Yang Lan was flustered, her eyes turning red, tears welling up but not yet falling.

Shen Wan stood on the second floor, taking a glance and then retracting her gaze, ready to return to her room. However, she unexpectedly ran into Shen Qian walking towards her.

His eyes were solemn, his demeanor not as gentle as before, replaced by a heavy seriousness. “What have you done?”

“Brother, I don’t understand what you mean by that.”

“Don’t pretend to be ignorant! I heard everything from the maid about this afternoon.”

Shen Wan glanced at her wrist, which was being held tightly. She didn’t struggle or get angry; she remained calm as water. “Since you’ve heard, why bother asking me?”

“You and Xiao Yan had a conflict because of Qi Ziehen. After she sent her classmates away and drove out the maid, what happened between you two at home?”

“Nothing much, just had a chat.”

Shen Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, a fleeting look of scrutiny passing through them.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Second Sister.” Shen Wan smiled lightly, her tone cool. “Brother, you’re hurting me.”

He released her wrist, and his gaze remained sharp. “Regardless of your intentions, since you’ve entered the door of the Shen family, you should consider yourself a part of the family! If…”

Shen Wan gazed at him quietly.

“If you intend to harm anyone, I won’t easily forgive you, and I mean what I say! You better take this to heart and keep it in mind at all times.”

This was the Shen Qian from her past life, the imposing and ruthless eldest son of the Shen family.

His eyes, filled with a killing intent, were both a warning and a threat.

Their eyes locked, neither backing down.

After a while, Shen Wan shifted her gaze away. “Alright.”

She had heard and remembered it..
