Chapter 267: Who Will Have the Last Laugh

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Jun thought about Wen Nian’s expression and words earlier and had a faint feeling that Jiang Chun’s words seemed a bit off every time. But he couldn’t quite figure out where this strange feeling was coming from.

He simply replied to Jiang Chun, not wanting to continue talking to her. However, Jiang Chun kept sending him messages.

Jiang Chun: 1 noticed that Wen Nian seemed quite angry today. I can explain things to her. Besides, she and Wei Xiao have already called off their engagement. It was Wen Nian who proposed it first. Even if Wei Xiao still has lingering feelings for her, it has nothing to do with Wen Nian. Don’t be angry with her.

Jiang Chun: Send me your location, and 1’11 have the driver bring you some hangover soup.

Shen Jun: No need, thanks.

Jiang Chun’s hand holding the phone turned slightly pale. She had asked for Shen Jun’s address twice, but he never gave it to her. Moreover, she clearly saw Shen Jun’s anger today, and a man like Shen Jun wouldn’t easily cool down once he got mad.

Before returning to the private room, Shen Jun had already heard plenty from Wei Lai, and with the rumors spreading about Wei Xiao and Wen Nian at school, Shen Jun must have been aware. How could he not be angry when he saw the two of them pulling each other?

But the reason he was so calm now had only one explanation—Wen Nian must have successfully coaxed him

Jiang Chun didn’t press Shen Jun further. She muttered to herself, “Wen Nian, you truly are a competent opponent, aren’t you? Let’s see who will have the last laugh.”

After Wen Nian changed her clothes, Shen Jun stood up and offered her the phone, taking the initiative to let her check.

Seeing his efforts, Wen Nian couldn’t help but smile. “You want me to keep an eye on you? What’s the password for your phone? I will check it at anytime from now on.”

Shen Jun replied naturally, “Your birthday. The password is your birthday.”

Wen Nian skeptically entered the password, and indeed, the phone unlocked. Her ears turned slightly red, especially when she read Shen Jun’s words defending her. She felt a warm sensation inside her. Yet, she also noticed Jiang Chun’s attempts at stirring trouble.

Jiang Chun was undeniably skilled. Her every word was perfectly measured, leaving no room for criticism. Yet, her words had a way of igniting one’s imagination. It was hard to believe she was only in her teens; with time, she might evolve into a true master of toying with hearts.

Wen Nian refrained from discussing Jiang Chun any further. Instead, she handed the phone back to Shen Jun. She chose to place her trust in him, just as he had chosen to trust her unconditionally.

Shen Jun sent her home, but Wen Nian couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. She kept thinking about Wei Xiao’s words today.

As expected, Wei Feng didn’t want to return the money he borrowed.The funds he had utilized to establish his company were sourced from Wen Nian’s grandfather’s gold bars. In the end, he even poisoned Wen Nian’s grandfather and redeemed the gold bars.

She recalled the gold bar she had discovered in her family’s ancient residence. Undoubtedly, a slightly skewed “Wen” was etched onto it, likely the handiwork of her grandfather. Nevertheless, even if she managed to obtain the gold bar from Wei Feng’s possession, it wouldn’t prove anything. He could claim that this a collectible item. Therefore, the most important thing was to replace the evidence of Wei Feng poisoning her grandfather.

However, when her grandfather passed away, no autopsy procedure was conducted. Many years have passed. Could she even replace evidence?

Wen Nian fell asleep amid these thoughts. As she had thought too much the day before, she was almost late for school the next day.

Shen Jun handed her a bottle of water and looked at her worriedly. “How are you? You didn’t sleep well yesterday?”

Wen Nian looked at the energetic Shen Jun and was a little speechless. Then, she looked at Wei Xiao’s empty seat and sighed in her heart. Shen Jun’s alcohol tolerance was really good.

He had clearly drunk the most yesterday, but today, he acted as if nothing had happened. It seemed that she would need to be careful when drinking with him in the future.

“You slept well? Why are you so energetic today?” Wen Nian muttered softly.

Shen Jun suddenly leaned over and chuckled, “Exactly, when someone loves me, and loves me deeply enough to even bite me, of course, I’ll be in high spirits.”

He deliberately licked his lips, and Wen Nian noticed the scabbed wound on his lips, causing her face to blush again. Thankfully, the teacher walked in to start the class, which could be considered her “narrow escape.”

At the Wei residence.

Wei Xiao had drunk too much the previous day, and he fell asleep as soon as he returned home. However, he was still awakened by the noisy sounds from outside.

“Grandfather, why does Wei Xiao treat me like this? I refuse to accept it! Clearly, 1 was about to succeed yesterday. It was all because he drank too much that he ruined my plan!”

At this moment, Wei Lai didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong. She even thought that if Wei Xiao had been able to stop Wen Nian yesterday, she could have comforted the heartbroken Shen Jun and perhaps even taken advantage of his drunken state to have something happen between them. That way, she would secure her position as Shen Family’s daughter-in-law..
