Seeing that his expression softened, the girl beside him immediately took his arm and smiled sweetly at An Mingzhu, saying:
"Sister Mingzhu, since you treated Brother Shanwen as a backup plan before, why pretend to be so affectionate now?"
The girl's words instantly turned Chu Shanwen's expression back to its previous coldness. "An Mingzhu, I've already made myself clear. We had no relationship before, and we won't have any relationship in the future. Please don't bother me anymore."
“How can we not be related? Shanwen, don’t you like me? Let’s be together, okay?” An Mingzhu lowered her pride and begged him.
However, the girl standing next to Chu Shanwen spoke up before he could, saying, "Sister Mingzhu, you're being so unfair to Senior Brother Shanwen. He used to treat you so well, but you always kept him at arm's length and treated him as a backup. Now that you see you have no hope with Third Master Gu, you want Senior Brother Shanwen to be your fall guy? Sister Mingzhu, your behavior makes me feel sorry for Senior Brother Shanwen."
An Mingzhu looked at the person she was talking to with resentment: "Chen Siya, you despicable person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes, what right do you have to accuse me?"
“Sister Mingzhu, I’m different from you. I genuinely like Senior Brother Shanwen. The only reason I didn’t say anything before was because I knew he liked you, and you’re my good friend. I thought you also had feelings for him. That’s why I reluctantly withdrew.”
Chen Siya gritted her teeth, nestled weakly in Chu Shanwen's arms, and said softly, "But now... Sister Mingzhu, you don't deserve how good Shanwen is to you. Shanwen is so outstanding, he deserves a woman who truly loves him wholeheartedly."
An Mingzhu was so angry at Chen Siya's current attitude that she wanted to tear her face off.
That bitch...
In fact, Chen Siya's current behavior was just a result of learning An Mingzhu's usual actions.
An Mingzhu used to be very good at pretending, but because she pretended so well, everyone thought that was the real her.
However, at the An family banquet, An Mingzhu's false facade was torn off, and everyone realized that they had been deceived.
Chen Siya, who had always been An Mingzhu's "little follower," learned that An Mingzhu had been faking it all. Although she hated An Mingzhu's behavior to the core, she subconsciously started to imitate her actions.
She used to be by An Mingzhu's side all the time, so how could she not know what she was doing? Therefore, she did all of this very naturally, perfectly replicating An Mingzhu's innocent and naive demeanor.
An Mingzhu used to use this method to make others believe in her and use her, but now that this method is being used against her, she is so angry that she wants to tear that person apart.
However, Chen Siya's smile remained gentle, unmoved by the resentment in An Mingzhu's eyes.
She glanced at Chu Shanwen, then lowered her head shyly and continued, "Sister Mingzhu, I truly love Senior Brother Shanwen and will be good to him for the rest of my life. Besides, Senior Brother Shanwen's current girlfriend is me, and I don't want you to bother us anymore, Sister Mingzhu."
"What do you mean?" An Mingzhu looked at Chu Shanwen and questioned him, "Shanwen, are you sure you really want to abandon me and choose this slut?"
Hearing her call her a "slut" repeatedly, Chu Shanwen became even more disappointed in her.
