    “I’m getting on in years and feeling a bit powerless. Wei Xiao returned recently and decided to put his overseas ns on hold. It’s better for him to stay in the country and focus on his studies. This way, he can also get involved in the Wei Corporation’s business beforehand, preparing himself to eventually take over thepany with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.”


    With a smile, Wei Feng added, “Wen Nian, when Wei Xiao starts attending sses, could 1 trouble you to help look out for him?”


    Wen Nian looked puzzled. “Attending sses?”


    Wei Xiao quickly rified Wen Nian’s confusion. “Grandpa thinks the academic atmosphere at No. 1 High School is more intense. So, during my time here, I’ll be preparing for exams at No. 1 High School.”


    Wei Feng’s smile widened, and he turned to Wen Nian. “Some connections aren’t meant to be romantic, but rather sibling-like. 1 believe you and Wei Xiao fall into that category. He’s mentioned how fond he is of you, treating you like a sister.”


    Wen Nian couldn’t help but admire Wei Feng’s strategy. Wei Xiao had only recently discovered Shen Jun’s true identity, yet he had already managed to secure an international transfer. Wen Nian suspected that Wei Feng nned for Wei Xiao to gain Shen Jun’s trust and curry favors from the Shen Family.


    Wei Xiao embraced his role swiftly. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing the charming and refined look that generally appealed to girls. “Sister Wen Nian, the curriculum and learning approach overseas differ a bit from here. I might have quite a few questions to ask you when the timees.”


    Even with the old grievances, Wen Nian wanted to wipe the feigned smile off Wei Xiao’s face. But giving in would jeopardize her ns. Furthermore, upon reflection, she realized Wei Feng’s move could actually be advantageous for her.


    While they aimed to use her to get close to Shen Jun, she could simrly employ Wei Xiao to establish contact with the Wei family. This would greatly aid her scheme to dismantle the Wei family.


    Additionally, they were now in the open while the pain remained hidden. She had the upper hand, in a way.


    With these thoughts in mind, Wen Nian’s smile became more genuine. “Of course, if I have the answers, I’ll be d to help.”


    Wei Feng was pleased with Wen Nian’s cooperation. Meanwhile, Wei Xiao couldn’t help but sneer internally. He believed that although Wen Nian’s appearance had changed, she likely retained her naive demeanor and the unwavering kindness he once cherished.


    Wei Xiao felt even more convinced that Wen Nian had shunned him back in the capital due to Shen Jun’s presence.


    A mere smile from him had led to a notable change in her attitude. This was evidence enough to confirm his suspicion.


    Wei Xiao’s interest in his grandfather’s challenge waned considerably.


    When Wei Feng and the others departed, it was already 11:30 p.m. Wen Nian yawned, took a quick shower, and then slipped into bed.


    Next morning, upon entering the ssroom, Shen Jun hadn’t yet arrived. cing breakfast on his desk, Wen Nian retrieved hernguage book and began memorizing the text.


    Shen Jun entered the back door of the ssroom under the bell of the morning reading ss. At the same time, Li Fang brought Wei Xiao in through the front door of the ssroom.


    As Li Fang introduced the new student to the ss, Shen Jun’s brow furrowed as he gazed at Wen Nian. “How did this married man end up in our ss? Isn’t his fiancee going to do something?”


    Wen Nian nearly burst intoughter. She shrugged in a helpless manner and whispered to Shen Jun, “Don’t worry, he’s not interested in me. You’re their main target.”


    Shen Jun immediately understood what Wen Nian meant. Raising an indifferent eyebrow, he mused that he was amon target for many. One more wouldn’t make a difference.


    Ever since Jiang Chun changed sses, the seat in front of Wen Nian had remained vacant. Wei Xiao had finished his introduction on stage and naturally chosen that spot.


    With his pretense of gentleness, kindness, and amiability, Wei Xiao became a hit among many girls. It was a contrast to Shen Jun’s understated attire that gave no hint of his wealth. Wei Xiao’s attire unabashedly showcased his affluence.


    Within a single morning, Wei Xiao’s background at an international elite school in Hai City was public knowledge. His pleasant and polished image spread rapidly. He transformed into the top contender for Prince Charming in the hearts of the girls. Even girls from neighboring sses stole nces at him. The bolder ones even entered the room to slip him love letters.


    ss One, known for its rtive calm, found itself unusually boisterous even after the ss ended. The back rows, typically tranquil, were now bustling due to Wei Xiao’s arrival.


    Wen Nian halted her writing, letting out another sigh. She watched the girls from other sses swarm around Wei Xiao, feeling a headache building up..
