Chapter 54 Let's hurry up and hold the engagement banquet.



Her sudden approach did not elicit any aversion from Shen Zhihuan. In fact, Shen Zhihuan even turned the book towards Zhao Haiyin's side and took the initiative to ask for her advice:

"I don't quite understand the sentence at the top. I feel that the translation into Chinese is too awkward."

Zhao Haiyin smiled slightly and began to give instructions very naturally.

"The context of English is different from ours, and there is no need to correct it too much in some non-professional areas."

"As long as we do not deviate from the original meaning and express it in a way that we are used to, it can actually appear more poetic and elegant."

The two stood very close, eating and talking quietly, looking just like a mother and daughter.

The seemingly harmonious scene almost made He Shuhui furious.

She couldn't understand what kind of spell Shen Zhihuan had cast on the Xie family, how could they like her so much!

If it weren't for the inappropriateness of her current status, she would have loved to rush in and separate the two of them.

Fortunately, in her moment of impulsiveness, He Shuhui remembered that she still needed to help Shen Ling, so she quickly dismissed the thought and hurried to school.

The gates of the university are dignified and magnificent.

Being able to study and live here is the dream of countless people.

He Shuhui only managed to regain some of her pride through the school, and walked in with her head held high.

But just as I reached the school gate, someone behind me shouted loudly:

"Chen Zhihuan!"

"Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me, Shen Zhihuan!"

Liang Hongli patted He Shuhui on the shoulder from behind and asked her with a puzzled look.

"I've been calling you since just now, but you haven't even turned your head. What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's you."

The feeling of a sharp jolt in He Shuhui's heart had not completely dissipated.

Liang Hongli's sudden shout was really frightening; she thought it was really Shen Zhihuan who had followed her all the way here.

Although the misunderstanding has been cleared up, He Shuhui was still on tenterhooks. She carefully checked her surroundings with her eyes and only relaxed her guard completely after confirming that Shen Zhihuan was really not there.

"What do you need me for?"

"What could be wrong with me? I just happened to run into you and wanted to ask you to go back together."

The doubt in Liang Hongli's eyes did not disappear; instead, it became even more intense.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so easily startled?"

From the moment Liang Hongli met He Shuhui, she felt that He Shuhui was very strange.

He Shuhui usually loves to put on airs, and whenever she's in front of a girl, she looks down on her.

I don't know what's wrong with her today. She's been acting suspiciously. I just called her name once, and she turned pale with fright.

She seems so guilty; I really don't know what she's feeling guilty about.

He Shuhui realized her lapse in composure and quickly regained her composure, laughing and joking with Liang Hongli.

"It's nothing, I just didn't wake up properly last night and was a little sleepy and distracted."

To make her words sound more convincing, she deliberately yawned after she finished speaking.

But He Shuhui was preoccupied, and no matter how she tried to hide it, she clearly appeared distracted.

Liang Hongli wore a smile on her face, but inwardly she was disdainful. It was rare to see He Shuhui so out of control, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Zhihuan, do you still consider me a friend? Good friends should share their worries with each other. How could you keep it from me?"

He Shuhui is now like a frightened bird, and she feels a jolt whenever she hears the name "Chen Zhihuan".

She held back for a long time, but finally couldn't control herself and scolded him in a shrill voice.

"Didn't I already say I wasn't fully awake? What's there to ask!"

Liang Hongli is usually not this persistent, why is she so annoying today!

Liang Hongli pursed her lips, knowing that He Shuhui would get really angry if she asked any more questions, so she softened her tone.

"I was just worried about you. Class is about to start, let's go to the classroom first."

The two women appeared to be close, but in reality, they always kept a half-step distance between them as they walked one after the other on campus.

Liang Hongli sized up He Shuhui's back, pretending to be timid and submissive on the surface, but in reality, she was already extremely disgusted with her.

In this school, the person she disliked the most was He Huiqing.

They're incredibly stupid, yet they insist on pretending to be amazing. Their supposedly wealthy family background is nothing but a lie to save face.

I really don't know how someone like that got into university.

Liang Hongli was utterly disdainful, but the boy she liked was completely under the thumb of He Shuhui, that scheming woman.

He believed every lie He Shuhui told, and was so bewitched that he even invited her to dinner several times.

They put in both money and effort, but in the end, they were destined to end up with nothing.

How could such a good guy be deceived by such a despicable woman?

Liang Hongli felt a pang of jealousy, constantly wishing she could catch He Shuhui doing something wrong.

She was determined to expose He Shuhui's lies and reveal her true colors.

Liang Hongli had been staring at He Shuhui for almost the entire time, but He Shuhui didn't notice at all.

Now, just thinking about how Shen Zhihuan has also come to the city, and is so close to her, makes her feel uneasy and nervous to the point of wanting to vomit.

It felt like something bad was about to happen.

This sense of oppression far outweighed He Shuhui's jealousy over Shen Zhihuan's impending marriage into the Xie family.
