Chapter 20 It really likes you
"No need to fight over them, they're all here." Shen Wu didn't touch the cats, but she didn't seem to mind either. Her tone was as gentle as a breeze, making people feel very comfortable.
Even with a smile on her face, the young lady of the Shen family, who was feeding a cat, still exuded an air of noble arrogance that made others feel ashamed of themselves.
Ning Wanwan glanced at it a few more times.
Shen Wu seemed to be very sensitive to gazes. Noticing Ning Wanwan's gaze, she smiled and turned her head to explain to her, "I've been feeding them here for a few days now, so they're quite familiar with me."
Ning Wanwan nodded hesitantly, replying dryly, "I see..."
Lin Ruowei sneered, not daring to speak loudly, but muttered to herself, "What are you pretending for!"
Shen Wu wasn't angry at all: "Miss Lin, weren't you also planning to feed the cat? Are you just going to stand there?"
Lin Ruowei gritted her teeth, unwilling to leave like this, and squeezed over as well, looking impatient as she tried to snatch away all the cats surrounding Shen Wu.
"Ah!" Perhaps her movements were too rough and forceful, making the cat feel uneasy. It scratched her hand, leaving several shallow white marks.
Lin Ruowei's delicate skin was scratched like that. Although it didn't hurt much, it made her very angry. She cursed and wanted to kick the cat again, but Shen Wu stopped her.
"Miss Lin wants to hurt these cats," Shen Wu's smile remained unchanged, and her voice was still gentle and pleasant.
Lin Ruowei gradually regained her courage and said disdainfully, "Do you think you can threaten me?"
"I wonder if Jiang Yuyuan of the Jiang family would like someone who hurts small animals for no reason?" Shen Wu asked rhetorically.
"I doubt anyone would want to marry someone like that, especially the one being begged to do so."
Lin Ruowei's face gradually turned red, then pale, as if a fatal flaw had been struck. It was unclear whether it was because of Shen Wu's statement that "no one likes someone who hurts small animals" or because of "the party begging for a marriage alliance."
Ning Wanwan couldn't help but glance at Chen Wu.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she noticed that Shen Wu never seemed to mention the Shen family and the Shen Group behind her.
Unlike Lin Ruowei, who almost always mentions that she is the "eldest daughter of the Lin family".
Moreover, it seems that neither Lin Ruowei nor the others around her have overlooked the fact that the Shen family's power is actually comparable to that of the Jiang family. It can be said that the Lin family and the Zhao family are no more than ants in her eyes.
Not to mention that Ning Wanwan, who knew the plot, was aware that Shen Wu was also the hidden power behind the Shen Group.
So... is it a deliberate attempt to divert everyone's attention from the Shen family?
Just as Ning Wanwan was getting more and more lost in thought, Lin Ruowei nudged her: "What are you standing there for?"
"Huh?" Ning Wanwan was a little confused. She looked at Lin Ruowei's dissatisfied eyes and realized that after being defeated in her confrontation with Shen Wu, she couldn't stay any longer and was planning to leave.
With Lin Ruowei gone, there was naturally no need for him, a mere cannon fodder follower, to stay any longer.
Ning Wanwan had no objection to this; the cat was being fed by Chen Wu, and she also wanted to go back as soon as possible.
As she stood up to leave, a small, dark shadow rushed over like lightning and blocked her shoes.
"Meow, meow." It rubbed against her ankle affectionately, its voice soft as if mixed with honey, tilting its fluffy little head up, its beautiful green cat eyes looking at her with big, watery eyes.
Ning Wanwan was stunned by the kitten's affection: "...Eh?"
Shen Wu looked at her with a smile: "Isn't she quite cute?"
Ning Wanwan was a little embarrassed and gently scratched her cheek with her fingertips: "It's so friendly."
Just now, this little black cat was the first to peek out from the crack in the rock and lick the nutritional paste from her hand.
"Are you close to people?" Shen Wu seemed to have heard something interesting, her smile widened, and she shook her head. "No."
"Huh?" Ning Wanwan was a little confused and blinked in bewilderment.
Shen Wu thought she was adorable, cuter than any kitten. She gently curved her lips and pointed at the little black cat with her finger.
"Look."
Ning Wanwan followed her movements and saw that before her hand could even touch the little black cat, it turned its head and jumped away nimbly.
Shenwu: "This kitten is different from the others. Although other cats are very wary, they will become more affectionate towards you after you feed them and spend more time with them."
"Only this little black cat is unique in appearance and eye color, and its personality is also unconventional. No matter what others feed it, it will not eat, let alone come up to rub against them."
Ning Wanwan: "...Is that so?"
But she's not exactly a cat lover.
"Ha, I didn't expect there to be something even you, Chen Wu, couldn't handle." Lin Ruowei wasn't in a hurry to leave. She chuckled smugly. The fact that her follower could handle a cat that even Chen Wu couldn't make her feel like she had won.
Shen Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression unchanged, clearly not taking Lin Ruowei's provocation seriously at all.
Lin Ruowei gritted her teeth, even suppressing her disgust, and reached out to touch the little black cat, wanting to prove her victory.
She even took pity on the idea that if she could pet the cat and it would make her look good, she would reluctantly take the cat back and let the servants take care of it.
"Meow!" The little black cat jumped away, proudly raising its head, its emerald green eyes staring coldly at her, clearly wary of Lin Ruowei.
It looked like it didn't want anyone to touch a single hair on its body.
Lin Ruowei: "...Tsk."
You little bastard, you have absolutely no sense of propriety.
Shen Wu didn't even glance at Lin Ruowei, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome.
"Meow~" The next second, the little black cat rubbed against Ning Wanwan's feet again, its soft, fluffy ears twitching.
To prevent her from escaping, it even gently hooked the tip of its tail around her ankle, as if it really wanted Ning Wanwan to touch it.
Ning Wanwan was somewhat at a loss.
Shen Wu looked at Ning Wanwan and said meaningfully, "It really likes you."
Ning Wanwan: "But I really didn't do anything..."
“Taking action isn’t a prerequisite for falling in love, is it?” Shen Wu chuckled softly, her tone relaxed and gentle, as if trying to ease her tension.
"Okay, it's just that a cat likes you, isn't that normal?"
Hearing Shen Wu say this, Ning Wanwan's tense mood, which had been somewhat strained by the unexpected and abnormal situation, eased a little.
She lowered her head and nodded slightly: "You're right."
"Alright, the long break is about to end, go back to the classroom." Shen Wu waved to her with a smile.
Goodbye, Wanwan.
"Goodbye." Ning Wanwan replied subconsciously, only realizing after speaking that the female lead had actually called her, the cannon fodder, by her name.
And it's such an affectionate way of addressing him!
"Chen Wu seems to like you quite a bit." Lin Ruowei frowned, her gaze sweeping over Ning Wanwan as if it were the first time she had met her.
It seems that some doubts have been formed about Ning Wanwan.
Ning Wanwan pursed her lips: "No... Shen Wu seems to be very nice to everyone."
Lin Ruowei reluctantly accepted this statement: "That makes sense, after all, that's how she built her good reputation."
Ning Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Lin Ruowei received a phone call: "Yes, I went to V's and bought the latest ultra-luxury watch. That's right, I'm going to visit the Jiang family this weekend..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Dad! I can definitely handle Jiang Yuyuan!"
Ning Wanwan listened to the contents of the phone call and realized something.
This must be what the system meant by going to the Jiang family's storyline point.
The thought of going to the Jiang Group and deliberately provoking the villain's younger brother, who seemed to have a very volatile temper and had even almost killed her—
Ning Wanwan belatedly realized that she was getting a little nervous.
