It wasn’t long before Chen Kexin received a response.
[Eh? What a coincidence. So you ran into them? My brother said he wanted to go there for himself but is stuck in traffic. So? How was it? Give me play-by-play. Was that polytechnic graduate thoroughly embarrassed?!]
Chen Kexin didn’t look too good. She was getting progressively more baffled by Pingting and Wushuang’s actions. She had never seen Gu Shishi making a move on them, but always the two of them who tried to instigate and stir up things.
Not to mention how sleazy their style was!
She was too embarrassed to even greet Chen Weiwei earlier!
Chen Kexin took a deep breath before she typed in her reply. [I will let Chen Weiwei fill in the details for you.]
Embarrassed? Gu Shishi?
She felt that it was them who were embarrassed!
She even felt ashamed earlier to be on the same team as them!
[Pingting, if we don’t have any concrete evidence, we should probably stop with picking on Gu Shishi. One way or another, she is the Gu’s long-lost daughter and hasn’t had the best of luck. I don’t think we should get involved in the Gu’s businesses anymore.]
Chen Kexin couldn’t help but send an additional text message.
But she quickly received an enraged emoji.
[Keke, how could you say such a thing? We grew up with Wushuang. Now that Wushuang is in trouble, wouldn’t you want to lend her a hand? Besides, have you forgotten how vile and shameless that Gu Shishi was when she chased away Wushaung on your grandma’s birthday? Whose side are you on now?]
[As soon as that evil woman returned to the Gu’s, she took over Wushuang’s room, chased away Zhang-ma, and took away Wushuang’s betrothal! If she wasn’t so despicable, Wushaung would already be with Second Young Master Huo by now!]
Chen Kexin’s finger tightened around her phone immediately.
She, too, had thought it was Gu Shishi who chased away Gu Wushuang that day.
But she found out from her grandmother later that Wushuang had an episode with her heart and even the Gu’s parents went with her to the hospital.
She gave it some more thought that night after she had gone home.
All of her friends were gunning to set Gu Shishi up that day, how was she able to successfully chase away Gu Wushuang?
Who could possibly have forced her to leave if she hadn’t left on her own accord?
Obviously, those were lies.
Chen Kexin was very confused all of a sudden.
Why would the friend she grew up with wanted to lie to her?
[Keke, wake up already! Remember your childhood dream? You wanted to marry Young Master Huo! He is such an exceptionally handsome man. Aren’t you upset that he ended up with someone of Gu Shishi’s caliber?!]
Chen Kexin’s cellphone rocked along with her body!
Young Master Huo… what the heck was Pingting talking about?!
That was back when they were 5~6 years old!
And what did that have to do with picking on Gu Shishi?
Ever since the incidents with the Gu’s, her grandmother had forbidden her to have contacts with the Huo’s.
It was such a long time ago that she had almost forgotten all about it!
And Pingting just dragged that out as a reason to pick on Gu Shishi?
Chen Kexin stared at her phone, stunned and at loss.
She had no idea how to respond.
She had only been overseas for two years and now she felt like she didn’t even know these people anymore!
***
[Beep! Progress of “Letting Chen Kexin See the Truth” assignment increased to 50%!]
Gu Shishi heard the beep in her ears abruptly during the middle of her second session.
She turned around in surprise.
Chen Kexin was nowhere to be seen. Speaking of, she said she was going to buy her sessions and hadn’t been back since.
She opened up the system interface while her students were doing basic paintings.
When did Chen Kexin see the truth?
And 50% increase at that. She didn’t think she had done much?
So the girl figured it all out by herself?
Looking further at the details, Gu Shishi was stunned.
There were two increases, one at 11 PM last night and just now.
That was so odd.
She did chat a little with her last night and added her grandmother on WeChat.
But she was already sound asleep by 11 PM.
Did Chen Kexin stay up and do some self-reflecting last night?
And just now, didn’t she go buy lessons?
And… she was suddenly enlightened while she was purchasing her lessons?
“What a peculiar girl!”
But she quickly refocused on her students in front of her.
