She acted more like a young lady of noble birth than the First Lady.

The servant’s expression shifted several times, and an unexpected thought crossed her mind.

The servant still remembered a few months ago when she was brought in by Steward Zhou. Many servants had gathered together, pointing at her and whispering “illegitimate child” with disdain and envy.

At that time, although she hadn’t joined in, she stood nearby, eagerly listening to the gossip.

After all, who doesn’t enjoy a bit of drama?

There was an older servant back then, who sighed as if in foreboding and said, “Just wait and see, this delicate appearance is destined to invite trouble!”

It turned out to be true.

The life of the Third Lady was far from pleasant.

Madam Shen practically treated her as if she didn’t exist, Old Master Shen had always been stern and never meddled in such trivial household matters, Second Lady even provoked her repeatedly and resorted to physical violence.

The father of the family was the most worried about his daughter, showing that he cared for her deeply. After all, she was his own child, and she was going through difficult times. How could a father not be concerned?

But as the CEO of a publicly traded company, Shen Chunjiang was busy with work and couldn’t be there for her all the time. Ironically, this concern became a death sentence of sorts.

She had witnessed the Second Lady bossing the Third Lady around and even resorting to violence on multiple occasions.

The servants were wary of the Second Lady’s unpredictable temper and didn’t dare to intervene; they could only lower their heads and walk away.

Initially, they thought that under such neglect and torment, the Third Lady would not last long. However, as the days went by, Shen Wan not only didn’t collapse but became more tenacious.

Her previously sallow complexion and emaciated figure had transformed into a healthy, radiant look.

Her overall demeanor was also gradually changing, becoming more elegant and noble with each passing day. Now, it seemed that she was no less impressive than the First Lady, Shen Ru!

Especially when her clear, transparent, and bright eyes casually swept across, they were like pure white snow on a mountaintop and a refreshing breeze over a clear pond, making people inexplicably fearful but unable to deny the beauty of those eyes.

The servant was amazed and puzzled at the same time. Could one person really undergo such a drastic transformation?

She couldn’t find an answer and could only attribute it to the fact that she was from a wealthy family, and nobility ran in her blood.

Even if she had been through hardships, the hidden gem would eventually shine when it returned to its rightful place.

“The bean sprouts are a bit salty.”

The servant’s wandering thoughts were suddenly pulled back by these words. She collected herself and looked at the plate of stir-fried bean sprouts that Shen Wan was pointing to on the dining table.

“Ah… I’ll use less salt next time.”

“Mmm.”

“Does the Third Lady want more rice?” The servant noticed that her bowl was almost empty and asked.

Shen Wan nodded. “Just half a bowl more.”

The servant replied, “Alright.” She hesitated for a moment, having already added more once before, she didn’t expect there would be a second time. Her reaction was a bit delayed.Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.ɴet

Both the First Lady and the Second Lady paid great attention to their figures and strictly controlled their food intake. So, why was this young lady…

After finishing that extra half-bowl of rice, Shen Wan didn’t ask for more. She gently placed her bowl and chopsticks down. “I’m done.”

She got up and left.

The servant felt a pleasant breeze wafting by, unlike the scent of perfume but still very pleasant.

When she looked up again, all she could catch was the slender figure of the departing lady.

Shen Wan spent about twenty minutes in the small garden, considering it as a digestion walk, before heading upstairs for a nap.

She woke up again to the sound of loud music.

In a daze, Shen Wan thought she had returned to her previous life, working in Night Paris, where melodious music filled the air.

It was the living room on the first floor.

“Xiao Yan, I didn’t realize your house was this big!”

“Not only big but also incredibly beautiful!” a girl added with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration and flattery for Shen Yan.

“Xiao Yan, is that a Steinway piano you’re using?”

Shen Yan nodded.

The girl exclaimed, “Wow, you can play the piano too… Not only are you beautiful and wealthy, but also talented. How are the rest of us supposed to live?”

Shen Yan chuckled at her exaggerated tone and replied modestly, “Come on, don’t say that. Everyone here is very talented!”

“Just one more thing I forgot to mention, you have a super nice personality too. It makes me want to give you a kiss right now. What do you say?”

“No kissing! No kissing! Shen Yan belongs to Young Master Qi. How can you just kiss her?”

This sparked a burst of laughter, and Shen Yan’s cheeks turned rosy. Her beautiful eyes looked shyly in a certain direction…

“Hey, Ziehen, do you think the little princess is looking at me?” The young man adjusted his collar, assumed a serious posture, and even cleared his throat theatrically.

The young boy, whose gaze had been fixed on his book, subconsciously looked up towards the direction where the girls were gathered but couldn’t discern who exactly “Shen Yan” was.

“I’m not sure.”

“Hey, even if you’re not sure, you can at least take a look. After looking, you’ll be sure… Oops! Sorry, I forgot you have face blindness.”

No kidding, Qi Ziehen indeed had face blindness, especially when it came to girls.

The boy shook his head, and a gentle smile graced his fair face, indicating that he didn’t mind.

“It’s okay.”

“By the way, Ziehen, just how severe is your face blindness if you can’t even recognize Shen Yan? She’s the most beautiful one with the biggest eyes! Weren’t you childhood friends who grew up together?”

“My face blindness…” The boy paused for a moment. “In my eyes, both Xi Shi and Dong Shi look the same. Also, to clarify, our families have some connections, and we’ve known each other since childhood, but we haven’t interacted much privately, only attending a few events together.”

“I can’t believe it.” His friend rolled his eyes dramatically. “Confusing Xi Shi and Dong Shi? You must be a reincarnated playboy who committed too many sins in your past life, and now you’re facing the consequences, unable to recognize women’s faces, living as a celibate monk!” Saying that, he burst into laughter.

Qi Ziehen pushed his friend’s hand away. “Who’s a celibate monk? Who’s a monk? Your words are as unreliable as ever.”

“Wow, you even know how to argue back. It shows that your male pride is still intact!”

Ignoring his friend, Qi Ziehen continued to focus on his book, his expression unchanged.

The noisy living room, with music assaulting their eardrums and the playful laughter of girls, was far from melodious.

But Qi Ziehen remained unfazed as if he had the ability to block out the surroundings. He sat there, flipping through the pages at a leisurely pace, exuding an air of nobility and self-possession that separated him from the chaos around him.

One side was still, while the other was moving.

One side was tranquil, while the other was noisy.

Distant and calm, indifferent and composed.

His friend grew tired of the lackluster conversation, awkwardly rubbed his nose, and decided to stop making silly comments.

Suddenly, curiosity got the better of him. “You say you don’t remember Shen Yan’s face. How do you usually recognize her then?”

“Her voice.”

“Oh, I see.” His friend suddenly nudged him with his elbow.

Qi Ziehen furrowed his brow. “Zheng Jun, what…”

“Shh! The school belle is coming our way, and she’s holding two glasses of wine.. Do you think she’s bringing one for me or for you?”
