Chapter 87 â Identity Exposure (2)
As the minutes went by, the sun gradually grew hotter. A thin layer of sweat had already formed on Shen Weiâanâs forehead under the sunlight.
The two servants guarding the door refused to let Shen Weiâan enter further.
The impatient Shen Weiâan eventually compromised and asked the servants, âThen, when will Mr Chen return?â
âThe exact date isnât certain. If thereâs something urgent, you can leave a phone number, and weâll let you know when Master has returned!â
Shen Weiâan pondered for a moment and felt that this was the only option remaining, so she left her phone number.
Just as she turned to leave, a window in one of the rooms upstairs opened, and a loud female voice travelled down, âWait-â
Chen Meile quickly went downstairs and stood in the yard a moment later. She was wearing high heels, making her tall enough to look down at Shen Weiâan.
âWhyâre you looking for my Father?â Chen Meile looked at Shen Weiâan with her arms folded across her chest.
Shen Weiâanâs gaze swept over her before she frowned and asked, âAre you currently in charge?â
âWhatâs with that look of yours?â Chen Meile disdainfully asked. âThis is my home; of course Iâm in charge!â
Shen Weiâan had never been looked at with such an expression before. For a moment, anger soared within her heart. However, for the secret she knew, she had no choice but to give in for the time being, so she revealed a false smile.
âPlease donât take offence; I donât mean it. Itâs just because the things I want to say today are extremely important, soâ¦â she paused, but instead of continuing her words, she asked, âCan I go in and have a cup of tea?â
Chen Meile slightly raised her chin and examined Shen Weiâan. After several moments, she nodded.
Different from the simple decorations outside, the inside of the mansion appeared somewhat too luxurious. The wall along the stairs was covered with valuable ancient paintings, and there were a lot of antique vases in the corner. Shen Weiâan didnât understand much, but even she could see that those things were exquisite. However, those exquisite things appeared to be randomly placed.
She couldnât help but inwardly thing: Heâs a wealthy local landlord! He places everything at home and canât wait to see it all pileup.
As Shen Weiâan was examining the furnishing in the room, Chen Meile made tea while observing her. When she saw the contempt flit by in Shen Weiâanâs eyes, the corner of her mouth raised to form a scornful smile.
âIâm sure that Miss Shen doesnât have these things at home! One picture alone costs more than a million dollars! Iâm also sure that Miss Shen canât afford it!â
Chen Meile didnât have a good impression of this woman. Previously, because of this woman, Chen Meimeiâs photo was on the front page headlines for several days, which almost made her have a bad reputation. Although Chen Meile had settled the matter, she still remembered that all the fault could be placed on this womanâs head. If this woman hadnât talked rubbish, then Chen Meimei wouldnât have appeared in the headlines.
Shen Weiâanâs face turned an unnatural shade of blue. She lowered her gaze, smiling as she said, âYouâre right! Iâm an artist, so how can I buy any of these things?â
Chen Meile was gloating inside, yet she couldnât help but utter, âBut, our Meimei is an artist too, and she can afford it. Therefore, it seems like it depends on oneâs fate too. Unlike a certain someone who uses all types of methods, but in the end still suffers a double loss after trying to trick the enemy.â
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and giggled, vividly portraying the image of a villain.
Shen Weiâan had to breathe out a long sigh of relief before she was able to calm her anger.
This situation was just like sheâd expected. As long as she managed to achieve her purpose, then this would all be worth it.
âAt least Iâm still alive and can control my own body, right?â
She picked up a cup of tea and sipped it, the suffocation within her heart gradually dispersing.
Chen Meile noticed the weirdness of this statement, and she frowned at Shen Weiâan as she asked, âWhat do you mean by this?â
âArenât you Chen Meimeiâs biological sister? Didnât you notice that thereâs something different about her? I investigated Chen Meimei in order to pursue Fu Bainian, and found that she previously had a car accident, right? If youâre attentive enough, you can definitely notice that the current Chen Meimei isnât the same as the previous Chen Meimei.â
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly turned heavy. Chen Meile then waved her hand at the group of servants. âAll of you get out. I have something to talk about with Miss Shen!â
Soon, all the servants had left the room.
âWhat is it that you want to say, Miss Shen?â
The fish had taken the bait. The corners of Shen Weiâanâs mouth slowly lifted, revealing a smug expression.
âWhat I want to say isâ¦â she purposefully dragged out her words and then continued to say, âThe current Chen Meimei is no longer your sister. Another soul lives in her body!â
After Shen Weiâanâs slow and steady explanation, she calmly put down the teacup and waited for Chen Meileâs reaction.
What kind of reaction will Chen Meile have after hearing all this? Will it be a question or rage? She was suddenly looking forward to it.
However, Chen Meile just stared at her for a long time before abruptly bursting into a fit of laughter. It was the same as before; she didnât care about her image at all. Meanwhile, Shen Weiâan, who was being laughed at, furrowed her brows.
After a while, the laughter suddenly stopped.
Chen Meile looked at her with a serious look. She softened her voice and said, âMiss Shen, I suggest that you ask your Manager to help you find a reliable psychiatric hospital. Itâs best to find a hospital that wonât leak any rumours of their patients. Otherwise, I estimate that the whole world will soon know that Miss Shen has paranoia.â
âI know that you donât believe me, but I really did come here today for this matter. Have you never thought why Fu Bainian, who loathed Chen Meimei, suddenly changed his mind? Not only did he marry her, but he also decided to live with her like a real married couple. Think about it: Why did Chen Meimei, who had no acting experience, suddenly manage to get a female lead role?â
Shen Weiâan then slowly added, âLook, youâre her sister, so you must have noticed a slight difference, but you just subconsciously ignored it. This is because Chen Meimei has changed and become classy, more likeable, and has brought credit to the Chen family, so you would also follow along and feel happy.â
It seemed like the living room had turned into a huge sauna, making it difficult for Chen Meile to breathe.
It was like a massive black hole had appeared and was trying to suck her in.
The smile on Shen Weiâanâs face looked complacent, but she felt that it was extremely irksome.
