The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 109: Chapter 110: The Whole Family Watches, The Epitome of Awkwardness Chapter 109: Chapter 110: The Whole Family Watches, The Epitome of Awkwardness Chapter 108

The drive from the airport to the Shen Family’s villa took a little over an hour.

After finishing the cake, Wenyan couldn’t fight off her tiredness and fell asleep again.

When she half-consciously opened her eyes, she found herself resting on Shen Jingxiu’s shoulder.

Feeling a trace of wetness at the corner of her mouth, she immediately sat up with a jolt.

[It’s over, it’s over, I drooled, oh my god, how embarrassing, how could I have slept on him!!]

Shen Jingxiu initially hadn’t noticed, but upon hearing Wenyan’s inner voice, he instinctively looked down at his shoulder.

The damp spot wasn’t particularly noticeable on the black suit fabric, but upon closer inspection, one could make it out.

Seeing that he also looked towards the ‘crime scene’, Wenyan immediately stretched her sleeve and began to rub the area furiously.

“I’m so sorry, big brother, I don’t usually drool when I sleep in a normal position, let me wipe it for you, I really am so sorry.”

“It’s no problem,” Shen Jingxiu gently grabbed Wenyan’s wrist to stop her.

He quickly let go, “There’s no need to worry about it, don’t give it another thought.”

Having said that, he smiled at Wenyan, then leaned over to open the car door on her side, “We’re here, get out.”

Wenyan was stunned for a moment, somewhat in disbelief.

[Did he just smile? He actually smiled at me. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen him smile, considering how long I’ve known him.]

[His arms are really long, he opened the car door without even touching me.]

[Why doesn’t he smile more often? He looks even better when he smiles.]

Wenyan thought all of this in a mess as she got out of the car.

Just as the driver took Wenyan’s luggage out of the trunk, it was taken over by Shen Jingxiu’s large hand.

“I’ll take it.”

After speaking to the driver, Shen Jingxiu turned and waited for Wenyan to come over.

“You look very tired, are you going straight to your room to rest?”

“Yeah! I’m exhausted, though I slept a lot in fits and starts today, not a wink felt sound. Now that I’m home, I definitely need to sleep until the world’s upside down.”

Shen Jingxiu nodded and pulled Wenyan’s luggage all the way to the door of her room on the third floor.

During the journey, neither of them spoke again, except for Wenyan’s final ‘thank you’.

This even made Wenyan feel like the smile she had seen in the car was just an illusion.

–

After taking another bath, Wenyan put on her loose and comfortable pajamas and collapsed onto her 1.8-meter-wide bed.

When she woke up again, the sky was completely dark.

She checked her phone, and it was already past nine at night.

Too much sleep of poor quality caused Wenyan’s head to ache.

And she was woken up by hunger.

So, she decided to go downstairs and find something to eat.

Wanting to clear her head, she chose to take the stairs. But as she reached the second floor, she suddenly heard Su Yang’s voice.

It seemed Su Yang was talking with Shen Jingxiu.

Wenyan immediately walked in the direction of Shen Jingxiu’s study.

“Mom? Mom, you’re back!”

As Su Yang approached the door to Shen Jingxiu’s study and heard Wenyan’s voice, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

“Yanyan, you’re awake?”

“Yeah!” Wenyan immediately dashed over to embrace Su Yang, “Mom, weren’t you on a business trip out of town? How come you’re back all of a sudden?”

“I haven’t seen you for so many days, and occasionally, when I turned on the live stream, I saw how hard you were living in the wilderness, so Mom definitely wanted to see you sooner. That’s why, as soon as I finished with work, I came back overnight.”

“Did you just get here?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while.”

“Then why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You were sleeping so well, why would I wake you? Are you hungry by any chance?”

“Yes!” Wenyan nodded, “Mom, have you had dinner? If you haven’t eaten, let’s eat together.”

Su Yang touched her stomach: “I actually didn’t get around to it, so let’s just ask the kitchen to make two bowls of beef noodles, then.”

“Okay!” Wenyan immediately agreed, and after thinking for a moment, she peeked into the study at Shen Jingxiu and asked with a smile, “Big Brother, how about you? Would you like some late-night snack?”

Wenyan didn’t know what had happened during the time she was asleep, but Shen Jingxiu’s complexion didn’t seem too good.

On further thought, the expression on Su Yang’s face when she glanced backward at her also seemed a bit serious for a moment.

Wenyan’s gaze unconsciously drifted back and forth between the two of them.

[Could it be that they’re hiding something from me? Is it related to me?]

Shen Jingxiu: “…”

Su Yang: “…” She figured that out?

Since it has come to this, there’s no point in hiding it anymore, because sooner or later she’ll have to know about the matter.

“Yanyan, better come in, I have something to tell you.”

Wenyan: “…” Oh no, it really is something about me.

And it definitely isn’t anything good.

“Mom, Wenyan, please sit down.” Shen Jingxiu stood opposite Wenyan and handed her a tablet.

Wenyan took it, and the first thing that caught her eye was a photo of herself getting into a car at the airport exit.

“Isn’t this me? From when Big Brother picked me up at the airport.” Wenyan instinctively looked up at Shen Jingxiu, “Was this taken secretly?”

“Take a look at the netizens’ comments.”

‘Wenyan returns to City A after finishing recording “Jungle Diary”, with fans warmly welcoming her at the airport. The main character suddenly disappears, turns out she got into a sugar daddy’s luxury car’

‘I knew it, which new starlet could make it in the entertainment industry without a sugar daddy? Could they become popular without being promoted?’

‘Exactly, the last thing the entertainment industry lacks are beauties. Wenyan is indeed quite pretty, but amongst those circles, she’s just so-so. So why did it become her turn to rise to fame? It must be because she’s taken care of by a sugar daddy.’

‘I heard she’s particularly good at that sort of thing, just look at this photo of her hips and waist, that shape, which man wouldn’t love it’

‘Just a pity, I didn’t get to see what the man inside the car looks like, and they didn’t capture the license plate number.’

‘This car seems like the top model from Bentley.’

“…” Wenyan read with a deadpan face, “I just slept for a few hours, and the outside world has already developed to this?”

“This, this is completely unfounded. It really started with one picture, and the rest is made up.”

However, compared to Shen Jingxiu’s stern face, Wenyan actually wasn’t particularly angry.

Because in the eyes of people in the entertainment industry, such rumors and negative news are normal.

Some people, in order to get exposure, would even purposely create and spread such news about themselves.

Of course, she wouldn’t do that; relying on such ways to attract attention would soon be forgotten by the public.

What can make the audience always remember you are a constant stream of outstanding works.

With that thought, Wenyan immediately handed the tablet back to Shen Jingxiu, straightened her body, and said earnestly:

“I’m sorry, Big Brother, for causing trouble! Just tell me what you need me to do, I will cooperate fully to clear things up!”
