Upon hearing Gu Shuxin's words, Chu Lingxiu didn't answer immediately. She glanced at Shen Nian first, and only after seeing no objection on her face did she turn to Gu Shuxin and nod.
"Let's go."
Chu Lingxiu and Shen Nian started walking ahead. Gu Shuxin stood frozen for a moment, then hurried to catch up with them.
A look of bitter jealousy crossed Gu Shuxin's face as she watched Shen Nian and Chu Lingxiu. 'How could I not have seen the way Chu Lingxiu just looked at Shen Nian!'
'I'm the one who should be receiving that kind of attention from Chu Lingxiu—and only me! But now, Shen Nian has appeared and just ripped away the position that was supposed to be mine!'
'Before, Chu Lingxiu would have invited me directly to the Chu Family's home. But today, not only did she not invite me, she even implied that I shouldn't be walking with them.'
'Why?! Why did everything have to change the moment Shen Nian appeared!'
