Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Indeed, Jiang Chun couldn’t hold back her temper. The impact of this incident is too significant. She also didn’t expect that Wen Nian would truly disregard the Wei family’s reputation and directly choose to sue Wei Lai.

Since her situation had impacted the Jiang family, many online users had discovered her true identity. Yet, the Jiang family employed tactics to erase these comments, preventing public outrage. Instead, the focus remained on Wen Nian.

However, Jiang Wei also reprimanded Jiang Chun harshly. His exact words were, “If you lack the skill to frame someone, don’t attack recklessly. Otherwise, you’ll only invite trouble.”

Jiang Chun believed she had executed the plan flawlessly, forgetting that Shen Jun would undoubtedly support Wen Nian. With the Shen family’s involvement, what couldn’t they uncover?

Ultimately, only under Jiang Chun’s grandmother’s pressure did Jiang Wei come forward to let the Wei family take responsibility.

Though this framing offense wasn’t excessively severe and the Jiang family had the power to suppress it even if sued, they couldn’t afford to lose face. Jiang Chun was the capital’s sole offspring of the Jiang family. Her reputation couldn’t be tarnished.

Jiang Chun blamed Wen Nian for everything. She vowed to make Shen Jun side with her. Even if she couldn’t break his relationship with Wen Nian, she’d at least earn Shen Jun’s sympathy.

Recalling Shen Jun’s trust in Wen Nian, Jiang Chun felt humiliated. She was the one who had known Shen Jun first. She refused to believe there was no “first come, first served” principle at play.

But when she sent the message, Shen Jun didn’t reply.

Jiang Chun scrutinized her message repeatedly. Despite her conviction that her words were justifiable, she couldn’t comprehend why there was no response. Even if Shen Jun didn’t comfort her immediately, he should’ve at least answered. Complete silence seemed implausible.

Jiang Chun retrieved her phone once more, deciding to place a call. At this hour, Shen Jun should be home.

Having just finished his shower, Shen Jun stepped out of the bathroom when he heard his phone ring. Wen Nian, without a hint of emotion, recited her words as she looked at the phone.

“Why aren’t you answering the phone?” Shen Jun asked.

Wen Nian lifted the phone and waved it. “Are you sure you want me to answer this call? The Jiang family’s eldest daughter is quite persistent. She’s called multiple times now. It’s already so late. Are you two really that close?”

Shen Jun naturally caught the hint of sarcasm in Wen Nian’s voice. Taking the phone, he ended the call and then pulled her into an embrace, planting a kiss on her forehead. “Apart from you, I don’t share a close relationship with anyone else.”

Wen Nian pouted in disbelief.

Shen Jun enveloped her in his arms. “I told her last time not to contact me at night. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.”

Wen Nian initially hesitated to look at his phone, but Shen Jun insisted on showing her. It wouldn’t be polite to decline, so she agreed. True enough, Shen Jun had explicitly conveyed this request, but it appeared Jiang Chun hadn’t taken his words to heart.

“Take a look. She’s written a full-length essay for you. This could pass as a college entrance exam piece. Aren’t you going to respond?” Wen Nian handed him the phone.

Shen Jun frowned as he read the contents of the WeChat. He was getting more and more confused about Jiang Chun.

He inquired, “Why does she always assume you’re upset with me because of her? This time, her reasoning doesn’t hold. You’re not upset.”

“Ah, so you finally realized,” Wen Nian teased, patting his head mockingly. “It’s quite a rare display of intelligence from you.”

Shen Jun rolled his eyes. “Ranking first in the entire school year doesn’t make me smart. Does that mean you, ranking 92nd, are?”

“Heh, your intelligence only shines in academics. Your emotional intelligence is really lacking.” Wen Nian didn’t back down. “You can deal with your matters with her, but she has never apologized to me. If she’s genuinely remorseful, why does she keep apologizing to you instead of reaching out to me?”

Shen Jun nestled his head into the curve of Wen Nian’s neck. The lingering scent of their shower gel brought an inexplicable sense of comfort. Each time, he would seriously contemplate the content of Jiang Chun’s WeChat messages.

After a while, he replied to Jiang Chun’s WeChat message.

Shen Jun: You didn’t do anything wrong to me. If you truly regret what happened to Wen Nian, you can apologize to her directly. Whether she accepts it or not is her choice. It’s useless if you don’t talk to me about it but don’t reach out to her and apologize to her.

Jiang Chun, upon receiving Shen Jun’s reply at last, read the message and flung her phone aside.

“You want me to apologize to Wen Nian? Dream on!” she snapped vehemently.

Hearing commotion from her room, Jiang Ning’s voice emerged from outside the door. “Jiang Chun, are you okay? I heard noise.”

Hearing Jiang Ning’s voice, Jiang Chun rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea.

She swiftly sprayed perfume into her eyes, prompting tears to flow instantly. It took her a moment to regain composure before she opened the door..
