When Wen Yan was taken home and adopted by Shen Yuan, Shen Jingxiu had already gone abroad to study.
Although the two were nominally siblings, Shen Jingxiu had almost no feelings for the original owner of this body and never had any curiosity about her.
Until last night, he actually heard her innermost thoughts.
Now sitting back to back on two chairs, Shen Jingxiu wondered if he could hear anything else.
Wen Yan had no idea that the person sitting behind her was actually the eldest son of the Shen family.
She quickly ordered the food.
Whether it tastes good or not is not important; the important thing is to make sure Qiao Kexin gets a good meal.
Watching the waiter place the order, Qiao Kexin's heart bled. To save money, she had no choice but to eat something less appealing.
Just then, Wen Yan jokingly said, "Kexin, you've finally treated me to a meal, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Qiao Kexin's face darkened: "Don't be so polite with me, Yan Yan. Order whatever you want to eat. The important thing is that you enjoy your meal."
"Then don't worry, I'm so happy today. I had a spa treatment, bought a new bag, and ate a big meal."
Qiao Kexin was furious! She'd spent 150,000 yuan on a spa treatment, borrowed 50,000 yuan to buy a bag, and now she even had to pay for this meal!
Wen Yan didn't spend a single penny today, so of course she was happy!
Qiao Kexin thought resentfully, seemingly unaware that Wen Yan was simply copying her and doing the same thing.
And these are just appetizers.
While waiting for her food, Wen Yan suddenly took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag.
She first sighed dramatically before speaking.
"Kexin, actually I lied to you just now. When we were buying the bag at C store, you asked me if I was experiencing a financial crisis, right? I didn't admit it then. Because I didn't want their sales staff to hear me, otherwise I would lose face."
Qiao Kexin frowned: "What do you mean, Yan Yan? Did something happen to you?"
"Yes, something happened. Kexin, my allowance was cut off by my family. Because I kept bullying Shen Zhirou, we had a big argument at my mom's birthday party the night before last, so my allowance was cut off."
Shen Jingxiu at the next table: ...He stayed overnight at home that night for the birthday party. How come he didn't know that Wen Yan had a falling out with her family?
As for pocket money...
His phone rang with a 'ding'.
He tapped the screen and saw that it was a notification of a change in his bank card balance.
Although he had already come of age and started working, the family tradition of giving him pocket money had never changed. His parents treated all four children and one adopted daughter equally.
Moreover, almost simultaneously after his phone rang, he also heard Wen Yan's phone at the table behind him ring, which was probably a text message notification about a change in her bank card balance.
Wen Yan saw it too, of course.
She received 200,000 yuan in one go! She could hardly contain her joy as she smiled.
But the play was only halfway through, and she hadn't had enough fun yet; she had to continue.
"So Kexin, I'm a penniless nobody now, with no job and no pocket money. I don't know when my adoptive parents will finally calm down. Please help me, Kexin."
Qiao Kexin's lips twitched: "Um... Yan Yan, as you know, I have absolutely no status in my stepfather's family. How can I help you?"
"Don't worry, Kexin! We're best friends, I definitely won't make things difficult for you. It's just that you'll probably have to pay me back the money you borrowed from me before. Look, I've already printed out the transfer records on this piece of paper. The 50,000 yuan I borrowed from you to buy the bag today will be deducted from your debt."
Over the past two years, you've borrowed a total of 600,000 yuan from me. After deducting the 50,000 yuan for the bag, you still owe me 550,000 yuan. I'm really hoping you'll come to my rescue now. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I'm planning to take the opportunity to buy some gifts for my parents to try and win them over."
"…………" Qiao Kexin was completely stunned.
Before she could figure out what to say, Wen Yan shoved the printed bill into her hand.
"Kexin, why don't you transfer the money to me now? I'm planning to buy my mom a diamond bracelet in a little while, it'll cost a lot of money, hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
Wen Yan urged Qiao Kexin with a harmless expression, leaving Qiao Kexin at a loss for what to do.
She actually wants the money she borrowed a year ago back? She thought she had long forgotten about it.
I only borrowed ten or twenty thousand yuan from her each time, how come it has accumulated to as much as 600,000 yuan?
Qiao Kexin stared incredulously at the records on the A4 paper, then silently opened her bank's app.
The reason Qiao Kexin opened the bank's app was actually to check her accounts.
Seeing the opportunity, Wen Yan grabbed her hand: "Kexin, you're such a good sister. You're so quick to switch sides. Just you wait, once I regain my parents' favor, I'll treat you even better. I can't wait! With this money, I can buy gifts for my parents."
Having said all that, Qiao Kexin still planned to continue taking advantage of Wen Yan for free. This money now has to be repaid, whether she wants to or not.
After transferring the money, Qiao Kexin felt completely drained, as if her soul had been emptied out.
"Yan Yan, I'm going to the restroom."
"Okay, go ahead. The appetizers should be served by the time you get back."
Qiao Kexin forced a smile, then pushed back her chair and turned to leave.
Once she was out of sight, Wen Yan put away her phone and sneered, "You little brat, you'll have to give back everything you took from me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Shen Jingxiu was drinking water when he heard this and almost spat it out.
Wen Yan has a not-so-good friend, which is known to the Shen family. Su Yang has also warned Wen Yan twice, but Wen Yan gets very excited every time this friend is mentioned.
She would say things like, "Shen Zhirou's friends are all good, but my friends are no good." After that, Su Yang stopped pressuring her, only occasionally complaining to Shen Yuan.
Shen Jingxiu happened to have heard it twice.
But judging from what just happened, Wen Yan doesn't seem to be completely stupid.
She put on a dramatic act, feigning poverty, and managed to coax her friend into returning the money without offending anyone.
How come I never noticed she was such a drama queen before?
However, after careful recollection, Shen Jingxiu realized that he hadn't had much contact with Wen Yan before. They only had the opportunity to meet at home, and even then, it was just a nodding acquaintance.
This is the first time I've encountered someone like this in a public place other than the Shen family villa.
Thinking of these things, Shen Jingxiu unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
He himself was unaware of the slight smile, but the long-haired woman sitting opposite him was momentarily stunned.
