He Shuhui harbored a great deal of resentment, because if Shen Zhihuan decided to retake the exam, she would risk being exposed.
Shen Zhihuan could immediately tell that her student record had been tampered with and that someone was already attending school in her place.
For the sake of her own future, she would naturally want to trample Shen Zhihuan into the mud.
He Shuhui was tormented by her own obsessive and morbid thoughts, and could only comfort herself over and over again.
So what if others have to sacrifice for her benefit? Everyone looks out for themselves, and she did nothing wrong!
He Shuhui tried to reassure herself with these words, but her face still couldn't help but grow paler and paler.
She looked so haggard that people thought she was sick.
Those suitors who usually fawned over He Shuhui felt incredibly sorry for her when they saw her like this. They not only showered her with concern but also offered to treat her to a meal.
"Shuhui, you've lost weight from all that running around these past few days. Why don't you give me a chance to treat you to a meal? Just treat yourself."
Upon hearing this, He Shuhui snapped out of her daze and quickly adopted her usual affected manner, shaking her head with feigned hesitation.
"Never mind, I need to go back and tutor my two students later."
She presented herself as a dedicated and responsible teacher, which earned her the admiration of her suitors.
"As expected of Shuhui, not only are her grades so excellent, but she is also such a kind person."
Liang Hongli, watching from the side, felt her teeth ache and wished she could roll her eyes to the heavens.
I really don't know what's so good about He Shuhui; all she does is pretend to be stupid and doesn't know anything else.
Unfortunately, the boys in the school seemed to be under a spell, all of them completely infatuated with her.
The more Liang Hongli looked at He Shuhui, the more uncomfortable she felt.
This woman is definitely up to something!
Liang Hongli had already noticed something was wrong when He Shuhui's parents came to visit her last time.
The middle-aged couple looked haggard, and the woman had a cloth covering her head; they didn't resemble the "wealthy city people" He Shuhui had described at all.
Liang Hongli and He Shuhui were already at odds, so she was naturally unwilling to miss the rare opportunity to catch He Shuhui in the act.
She leaned closer to get a better look, but little did she know that she had overheard a huge secret.
"Shuhui, the living environment at school is not the same as at home. Your parents went through a lot of trouble to send you here, so you must study hard and not let us down."
Hearing this name, which has a strong rural flavor, Liang Hongli was quite surprised.
Shuhui, what Shuhui?
Isn't the person in front of her named Shen Zhihuan?
At first, Liang Hongli thought she had made a mistake and that the couple were not He Shuhui's parents.
But He Shuhui spoke up right at that moment.
"I know, I know, you're so long-winded. I know what I'm doing, Mom and Dad, please stop worrying."
Liang Hongli covered her mouth in surprise, her expression one of shock, and a certain guess began to form in her mind.
Unfortunately, before she could fully understand the situation, He Shuhui discovered her presence first.
"Liang Hongli, what are you doing here!?"
After bombarding her with a few aggressive questions, He Shuhui suddenly remembered something, and her expression froze.
She quickly lowered her tone and asked her in a low voice.
"How long have you been here? What have you heard?"
Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Liang Hongli simply voiced her doubts.
"I was just passing by, I didn't hear anything."
"But... Zhihuan, why do your parents call you Huiqing?"
Under her probing gaze, He Shuhui and her parents were so frightened they broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly changed their story:
“In my hometown, we have a custom of giving newborn babies a humble name so that they will be easier to raise.”
"Yes, yes, of course my name is Shen Zhihuan. Shuhui is just my nickname."
Liang Hongli nodded as if she suddenly understood, but she didn't believe it at all.
Compared to the family's nonsense, she trusted her intuition more.
However, although Liang Hongli sensed that something was amiss, she couldn't figure out why.
While she was thinking, He Shuhui, blushing, went to have a nice meal with her suitor.
As the two brushed past each other, she keenly noticed a fleeting look of jealousy on Liang Hongli's face, and inwardly she sneered.
This Liang Hongli really thinks she's some big shot, she acts so well.
Little did he know that he was so clever that he had already seen through her disguise.
It's a pity that people like Liang Hongli, who are not particularly good-looking and have no outstanding qualities, can only be envious.
This conjecture greatly satisfied He Shuhui's vanity, and eased her constantly agitated mood considerably.
Unexpectedly, He Shuhui had a great appetite, so after arriving at the restaurant, she tried her best to get the best deals, ordering a whole table full of dishes that she usually couldn't bear to eat.
She ate everything on her own, and afterwards, she refused her suitor's offer to take her home.
Under the bright afternoon sun, He Shuhui walked back to the courtyard alone.
She was planning how to slack off more when tutoring the brat later when she ran into her uncle and aunt at the alley entrance.
He Shuhui was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put on a big smile and took the initiative to greet him.
"Uncle and Aunt, are you going for a walk?"
The moment He Kangyong and his wife saw He Shuhui, their expressions immediately fell.
