Chapter 20 Conspiracy
Thursday, after the Star Beast Anatomy class, it was lunch time.
Shi Chu usually had lunch with Shen Xiuyin, so after looking around the classroom and not seeing anyone, she turned on her laptop and sent her a message.
She received a reply very quickly.
[Shen Xiuyin]: I have something to do, so I won't have dinner with you today. Smile.jpg
She turned and headed straight for the cafeteria.
…
In a private lounge in the teaching building, Shen Xiuyin turned off her laptop and looked up at the man sitting behind the desk in front of her.
"Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?" She considered her tone and spoke cautiously.
This morning someone suddenly sent her a message saying that someone from the special class was looking for her and invited her to meet in the private lounge alone at noon.
A beta like her with no background had no chance to refuse. Of course, she didn't intend to refuse, because this might be a turning point in her destiny.
Although she had told Shi Chu not to rush to curry favor with those children from aristocratic families, she didn't really mean it in her heart.
When the opportunity really comes, she will never let it go.
Everyone wants to move up, and there's nothing wrong with that. She's also a human being, and she has her own desires and ambitions.
So she came here directly after class.
"Your name is Shen Xiuyin?" The feminine-looking man looked at her for a while and then slowly said, "You're the Shen family's illegitimate daughter. Because of your Beta status, your not recognized by the family."
"Yes." Shen Xiuyin admitted calmly, without showing much emotion in her expression.
The Shen family is a small family, nothing on the main planet, but it is a behemoth to her.
Because she is a beta, her family is unwilling to acknowledge her identity, and she has never been able to obtain any family resources. Even the qualification to go to school in Icleus was obtained through her desperate pleading with her alpha father who has the same blood as her.
Since then, she has been completely marginalized by the family.
She came to Icleus to find a chance to change her destiny, but those aristocratic families and ordinary students like her had no chance to interact at all, so she had not found any opportunity for all these years.
But today, the opportunity has come.
"Interesting, you don't seem surprised at all that I know your identity."
"For the aristocratic families, the identity of a small fry like me can be found out with just a flick of the finger."
"Yes, I want to make a deal with you. Do you want to agree?" The man laughed and said slowly, "I can give you a chance to refuse, but I guess someone as smart as you won't."
"Of course, I'm willing to accept it."
"You agreed so quickly. I thought you wanted to ask about the terms of the deal first." The man raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Shen Xiuyin chuckled softly, "This might be my only chance to change my fate. How could I let it go?"
How could someone like her, already at the bottom of society, give up an opportunity to move up? How could someone who had experienced power give up their desire for it? She didn't want to live her life as an ordinary beta.
"You're a smart person. I can help you become the heir to the Shen family," the man promised easily. For a small, underrepresented family like the Shen family, changing the heir was just a matter of a word from him.
"Now show me your worth, and I hope you won't let me down."
"Of course." Shen Xiuyin smiled gently and continued, "I think you came to me because of Luo Yanchuan's matter."
There is a rumor in the school that a young master from the Beta family has been pursuing Luo Yanchuan. Presumably, the person in front of her is the real one, the heir of the Leet family - Wu Li.
Although everyone in school said he was infatuated, she didn't think so. There was more ambition and desire in his eyes than love.
Wu Li nodded slightly, thinking to himself.
It is necessary to take Luo Yanchuan down while he is in conflict with the Luo family. Otherwise, if this opportunity is missed, once the Luo family arranges a fiancée for him, it is likely that there will be no such great opportunity again.
"As far as I know, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary since joining our class..."
Shen Xiuyin recounted in detail what she had observed over the past few days.
In fact, she had been considering whether to climb the Luo family's big tree before, but because the risk of failure was too high, she had been hesitant and had not taken any substantial action.
Now that there is a safer and more reliable option in front of her, she of course gave up her previous plan without hesitation.
People always strive for higher goals, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her.
"The only special thing is that he seems to pay a lot of attention to my deskmate." Shen Xiuyin said calmly.
When she secretly observed Luo Yanchuan these days, she found that his eyes would fall on her deskmate from time to time. Something must have happened between the two of them.
Wu Li flicked his long hair and said playfully, "Aren't you two friends?"
"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. What's more, I think the reason why you chose me is because of her." There are so many people in the class, why did he choose her? It was probably because she was Shichu's deskmate and friend.
She didn't believe that there was no Wu Li's spy in the class. He must know Luo Yanchuan's every move, and maybe her thoughts had been seen through long ago.
"You see clearly."
A cold light flashed in Wu Li's eyes: "Invite your deskmate out on Saturday. I don't want anyone to ruin my good thing."
Although he had left the courtyard at that time, he had arranged spies inside and outside to observe Luo Yanchuan's situation at all times. The alpha inside was later discovered and driven out, but there were no spies outside.
Whenever he thought of the information sent by his subordinates, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He had a decent family background and good looks, so how could he be any better than that good-for-nothing beta orphan? He had been pursuing Luo Yanchuan for so long, never once receiving a good look from him, and yet, in the end, he fell for a worthless piece of trash.
This is a humiliation to him! He would never allow the beta that symbolized humiliation to him to continue to exist, not to mention that Luo Yanchuan treated her differently. He wanted to nip any signs that were detrimental to him in the bud.
Shen Xiuyin glanced at his gloomy expression and said nervously, "That probably won't work. She never goes out on weekends. I've tried to invite her several times before but never succeeded."
The man's eyes turned cold.
She quickly said, "But I know she has a habit. After school on Fridays, she goes to a fixed store to buy snacks. It's a very remote place with some old buildings, and not many people go there."
"That's fine."
Wu Li looked at her deeply, took out a uniquely shaped transparent card from the drawer, and slowly handed it over.
"That was the first thing I just said. Now for the second thing, I want you to use this..."
He looked at Shen Xiuyin's departing back, a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Just wait, Luo Yanchuan.
He actually dared to look down on him and even left pheromones on a piece of trash to insult and provoke him.
I will definitely get you.
