My contemplation was misinterpreted by Shen Mengyi.
"Shen Chun Ning, what are you looking at?" She eyed me warily.
At that moment, my brother stepped forward, positioning himself protectively in front of me. "She is my biological sister, Shen Chun Ning."
"My biological sister?" The man was taken aback.
Realizing something, he released his grip on Shen Mengyi's wrist.
The group settled onto the sofa in the living room.
Our parents succinctly explained to the man the mix-up that had occurred at the hospital when we were switched at birth.
I also learned of the man's identity.
Chen Jiaxing, the young master of the Chen Family, and Shen Mengyi's fiancé.
"Our families' engagement was arranged long ago. Now that Ning Ning has returned, Jiaxing, your fiancée should be Ning Ning, not Mengyi."
Father's words instantly set Shen Mengyi off.
"Dad, how can you…"
Her protest was silenced by a sharp glare from Father.
"Jiaxing, what do you think about this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaxing looked at me.
I was also looking at him.
I was contemplating whether to eliminate him directly or to play the long game.
It was unclear if it was a coincidence or if he was simply too perceptive.
As I revealed a hint of killing intent, he withdrew his gaze and respectfully addressed my parents:
"I need to discuss this matter with my parents first."
"That is understandable."
Then Chen Jiaxing left.
As soon as he departed, Shen Mengyi's gaze fell upon me.
Her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred, as if she wanted to pierce through me with her stare.
"What are you staring at? Be careful not to get a stye," I said expressionlessly.
"And what if I do?" She widened her eyes deliberately, as if trying to provoke me.
"Shen Mengyi, weren't you supposed to leave? Why are you still here?"
As soon as Brother Jiaxing spoke, Shen Mengyi shrank back.
"I'm not leaving! If I go, Brother Jiaxing will just take advantage of her!" She shot me a glare before running upstairs.
The next day, when Shen Mengyi sluggishly came down, she wasn't wearing a hat but instead had on sunglasses.
"What's with the sunglasses for breakfast?" Dad slammed the table. "Take them off!"
Reluctantly, Shen Mengyi removed her sunglasses.
Then we all noticed… she had developed a stye!
"Mengyi, what happened to your eye? I'll call the doctor right away."
Mother quickly sent someone to fetch the family doctor.
Brother Jiaxing couldn't help but chuckle.
"Shen Chun Ning, is this your doing? You said I’d get struck by lightning and I did, now you say I have a stye and look what happened! Are you trying to curse me?"
"Shen Mengyi!" Dad's voice was stern.
Shen Mengyi shrank her neck, no longer daring to act tough.
I smirked slightly, "If you keep looking for trouble, you might just…"
This time, before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Shen Mengyi.
"Don't say anything!" she covered her ears, acting as if she wouldn't listen, wouldn't listen at all.
She was probably afraid I would say something that might come true.
After dinner, my parents looked at me.
"We're planning to hold a banquet to publicly announce your identity."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengyi gritted her teeth.
Reluctant, yet too afraid to resist.
I frowned and refused, "No need. I think things are just fine as they are."
My words were brief but firm.
The reason I returned was to successfully ascend during the next tribulation.
I had no intention of staying with the Shen Family indefinitely.
They wanted to persuade me further, but faced with my resolute attitude, they didn't know how to begin.
In the end, they could only compromise. "Well, if you ever change your mind, remember to tell Mom and Dad."
"Okay."
Beside me, Shen Mengyi, who had previously looked at me with hostility, now stared at me as if I were a fool.
Seeing that I was about to head upstairs, she quietly followed me.
"Do you even know what you're rejecting?"
I ignored her.
She continued on her own, "Only by publicly announcing your identity as the Shen Family's heiress will people in the elite circles recognize you. Do you know how wealthy the Shen Family is? Do you understand the weight of being the Shen Family's heiress? Do you know..."
I interrupted her, "So what you're saying is that I should announce to the world that you are the Fake Heiress, so everyone will look down on you?"
As soon as those words left my mouth, she immediately covered her mouth.
Her expression was one of regret for having said too much to me.
Unable to help but laugh, I closed the door, shutting her out.
Shen Mengyi was acting quite maliciously.
Unfortunately, she didn't seem to be very bright.
