The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care! - Chapter 6
Wei Lan’s gaze never left Xu Xinduo ever since he first saw her, focusing on the tip of her head even now. After he was called again by one of his classmates, he raised his index finger to his lips and made a ‘shush’ sound, implying that they shouldn’t disturb the sleeping beauty.
With that, the students in the classroom guessed that they definitely knew each other.
After the second lesson, the students got to know of some surprising news— not only was she friends with Tong Yan, but she was even the adopted daughter of the Mu family.
The reasoning behind her adoption by the Mu family was due to the fact that her appearance resembled the Mu parents and her pitiful family background.
Xu Xinduo had just ventured out of the countryside recently, so how could she be friends with the arrogant yet rich Young Master?
The odd circumstances surrounding her transfer really shocked everyone in the class.
What the hell?
???
“Hello,” Shen Zhuhang called out to the female transfer student.
He’d heard about Xu Xinduo from Mu Qingyao and was full of contempt. He wanted nothing more but to have this adopted daughter leave on her own accord before disaster struck upon her.
He was Mu Qingyao’s fiancé. and they were both childhood sweethearts. Currently, Mu Qingyao was also his girlfriend.
A few days ago, he heard that the Mu family had accepted an adopted daughter. That very action made Mu Qingyao suffer quite a lot.
Last night, Mu Qingyao had even bawled, saying that the adopted daughter of the Mu family was interested in him. And because of that, Xu Xinduo wanted to snatch him away from her to solidify her position in the Mu family.
After hearing this news, he thought that the adopted daughter might have a hole in her brain. Otherwise, how could she ever have such a ridiculous thought? It was honestly rather baffling.
(T/N: Hole in her brain refers to someone being incredibly stupid or dense)
Does she even know who I am?
I’m the Young Master of the Shen family!
He was born into a well-known family and received a good education from an early age. He had good looks and was always very popular in school.
However, he never really cared about all that stuff as he only had Mu Qingyao in his heart.
This country bumpkin, who only recently waddled out of the countryside, wants to seduce me?
Well, is she in a position to do so?
To him, only a noble and elegant lady like Mu Qingyao was worthy of him.
Who was this adopted daughter anyway?
Could a pheasant become a phoenix by sheer luck?!
(T/N: A pheasant is a type of bird, this is not a spelling error)
On that note, the Shen family also had a leading role in contributing to the Mu family’s decision to keep Xu Xinduo’s identity a secret.
Mu Qingyao and Shen Zhuhang had a marriage contract since they were young. This enabled the two families to support each other and become one front.
If the Shen family came to know that Mu Qingyao was not a direct descendent of the Mu family, they would definitely annul the engagement. Moreover, they would not agree to replace their supposed daughter-in-law with a legitimate daughter who grew up in the countryside. After all, they had to maintain their dignity.
Breaking up with the Shen family would be a devastating blow to the Mu family’s industries. After weighing the pros and cons, the Mu family came to such a decision and hoped that Xu Xinduo would be ‘sensible’ and ‘considerate’.
After Shen Zhuhang had called her, Xu Xinduo didn’t bother to acknowledge him. Upon seeing that, he nudged her head slightly.
With that, Tong Yan got up. No one had ever dared to make a noise when he was sleeping at school. In the context of suddenly being nudged awake, he looked up at Shen Zhuhang. He said nothing, but the unfriendly gaze in his eyes was visible for all to see.
They were not just considered ‘unfriendly’.
They were downright murderous.
Shen Zhuhang was so shocked by the murderous look in her eyes that he wasn’t able to speak for a moment.
Tong Yan sat up straight and moved his neck about before he asked, “The f*ck do you want?”
“Ah,” This girl is really rude.
Shen Zhuhang placed his hand on the table, leaned over and looked at ‘Xu Xinduo’ carefully.
To be honest, this adopted daughter really is beautiful.
Shen Zhuhang’s heart swayed at least for a second when she looked up at him.
Her hair was black. She had a pair of willow coloured eyebrows that adorned a pair of amber pupils. Her eyes were like a cat’s—cold and indifferent. The bridge of the nose was high but it was not excessive as it formed a beautiful arc. Her lips were not too thin or thick either as it had a natural pink tinge to it.
