After a long while, Xu Yao finally curled her lips in disdain:

"Nanzhi, you are truly my good cousin."

Nan Zhi looked completely bewildered.

"Don't play dumb. I've been so sincere to you, and you've trampled on my feelings like this. You know perfectly well that I like Mr. Shen, yet you secretly dated him. Do you really enjoy stealing what's mine?"

Xu Yao, with her righteous indignation, glared angrily at Nan Zhi, as if Nan Zhi were some heinous villain.

Nanzhi looked at her for a long time before finally curving her lips into a smile.

"Cousin, you really dare to say you're completely sincere towards me? I wouldn't dare accept your sincerity."

The smile vanished instantly, replaced by a mocking expression.

"Stop trying to glorify yourself. You know perfectly well whether it's yours or not. Why don't you call Mr. Shen and see if he'll respond to you?"

Xu Yao stared at her incredulously, as if she were seeing Nan Zhi for the first time. She became more and more certain that Nan Zhi had been faking it in front of her grandfather. "So this is your true face. Our family misjudged you before."

As she spoke, a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips:

Aren't you afraid I'll tell Grandpa?

Nan Zhi chuckled softly, "I'm really not afraid."

After saying that, Nan Zhi was about to turn and leave, but after taking only two steps, she seemed to remember something, turned back, and smiled brightly:

"By the way, now that we're out in the open, I might as well tell you that I am Shen Xingmian's girlfriend. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you beforehand."

A crack instantly appeared on Xu Yao's face as she stared at Nan Zhi as she walked to the taxi. Even after the car drove away, Xu Yao's expression did not soften at all.

A moment later, she exhaled and a strange smile slowly appeared on her face.
