Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

The next day was Saturday, and Shen Yue slept until she naturally awoke.

When she got up, Shen Hui was already gone.

Shen Yue knew without thinking too hard that Shen Hui must be in the lab.

She sat up in bed and pondered if she could eat breakfast and lunch together while getting dressed.

In the past when Eldest Brother wasn't home, she and Fourth Brother would often do this, but if Eldest Brother was home she would get scolded.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue started wishing that Eldest Brother wouldn't be home today...

She slowly went downstairs after washing up and getting dressed. Discovering that Eldest Brother really wasn't home, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was just thinking about skipping lunch today when Second Brother suddenly spoke up, "Little Yue, Eldest Brother said that once you woke up you need to drink the congee over there. He also told me to record a video of you drinking the congee to send to him."

Shen Yue froze in terror, having a vague premonition that something wasn't right.

But she soon calmed herself down.

Shen Yue first turned on the lights in the living room to confuse the lighting in the video and prevent Eldest Brother from guessing what time she had woken up.

Next was...

"Second Brother, can you tell Eldest Brother that you already recorded the video a while ago but forgot to send it to him?"

As soon as Shen Shuangyi heard this, he knew what Shen Yue was scheming. However, knowing was one thing and refusing was another.

"Alright, sit over there."

Shen Yue immediately ran to the dining table and started pretentiously drinking the congee while secretly slipping Shen Shuangyi some candy, "Thank you, Second Brother. Second Brother is the best."

Shen Shuangyi, who had been slowly taking out his phone to record, instantly became alert upon hearing this. He even felt rather smug, "Second Brother is better than Eldest Brother, right?"

Shen Yue nodded perfunctorily, "Mm, Eldest Brother is so fierce."

Although Shen Yue didn't directly agree, Shen Shuangyi still felt happy and took the fall for her.

Shen Yue quickly finished the congee and wandered over to the lab area. Shen Hui's lab was next to Shen Wu's. When Shen Yue came over, Shen Wu and Shen Hui were planting grass on the line between their two labs. They said it was the March 8 Women's Day demarcation line.

Shen Yue watched for a while feeling it was fun and also joined in. As a result, the originally straight March 8 line became crooked and twisted.

Shen Yue looked up to see their expressions and retorted righteously, "We're all family so we don't need such a clear separation. It's fine if the March 8 line is a little crooked..."

Neither Shen Hui nor Shen Wu said anything.

So Shen Yue lowered her head, "If you don't like it, I'll uproot it."

In the end, Shen Yue didn't uproot anything. And the March 8 line between Shen Wu and Shen Hui no longer looked so serious, instead lying between them like a child's toy, becoming an interesting new sight.

Seeing it was about time, Shen Yue said to Shen Hui, "Huihui, we can head out now."

Shen Hui checked the time. It was currently 11 am and there was only half an hour until the 11:30 am they had agreed upon yesterday. It really was about time.

"Alright, just give me a few minutes," Shen Hui replied while walking into the lab.

She had actually just been adjusting some equipment and Shen Wu suddenly coming over had disrupted her plans, forcing her to go draw the March 8 line first. The machine still wasn't calibrated properly.

Shen Hui cut the power to the lab, picked up her bag which she had prepared early on, and left with Shen Yue.

Shen Hui actually had an obsessive attachment to the lab. She detested it yet also needed it to calm herself.

In the past, it was only in the lab that she could feel needed.

And now, when she was by Shen Yue's side, she could also feel calm.

"Huihui, let's go directly to Qiushuang Commercial Street. Little Yu said she would meet us there," said Shen Yue.

Shen Hui lightly mmm-ed in response.

Actually, she didn't care where they went. After all, she was just accompanying Shen Yue.

The Shen house was located downtown so it didn't take long for the driver to reach the commercial street in 20 minutes.

But when they arrived, Qing Xiaoyu said something sudden had come up at her home that she needed to deal with and couldn't make it.

So their original trio meeting turned into just the two of them.

Upon hearing Shen Yue's explanation, Shen Hui uncharacteristically asked another question, "What happened to her?"

Shen Yue's eyes flickered but her expression didn't change as she naturally explained to Shen Hui, "Little Yu said a stray cat suddenly jumped out from somewhere at her home and beat up her cat badly. She has to take her cat to the vet now."

Shen Hui's brows furrowed slightly. "Isn't Qing Xiaoyu's home on the 17th floor?"

Shen Yue nodded. "Right, the stray cat climbed up to the 17th floor and beat up her cat badly."

For some reason, this poked Shen Hui's funny bone and she let out a soft laugh. She didn't keep wondering if Qing Xiaoyu had deliberately stood them up, instead asking Shen Yue, "What do you want to buy? I'll get it for you."

Shen Yue pointed at the nearby snack stand. "I want to eat that."

Shen Hui glanced at the logo of the snack stand and flatly said, "You can't have that one. Eldest Brother bought that stand. Eat at the iron plate squid next to it."

Shen Yue's eyes landed on the iron plate squid stand beside it.

Hmm, that works too.

She had deliberately not eaten too much that morning in anticipation of this moment.

As Shen Yue walked, she also ate. Shen Hui didn't eat anything. Her job was to identify which stands Eldest Brother had bought that Shen Yue couldn't eat from and which ones he hadn't bought yet that were safer for now. She would then pay for Shen Yue and watch her eat.

While Shen Yue was happily eating by herself, she suddenly asked Shen Hui, "Huihui, why don't you eat?"

Shen Hui shook her head. "I like watching you eat."

Shen Yue twisted her neck and took a big bite of egg cake, inexplicably reminded of Si Chengyou.

After eating, Shen Yue pulled Shen Hui into a clothing store and bought two matching outfits using Shen Hui's money.

Just as Shen Yue was about to buy a third set, Shen Hui suddenly grabbed her hand and flatly said, "Time's up, we should head back now."

As she spoke, she brought Shen Yue out of the clothing store.

Shen Yue checked the time. There were still 8 minutes until the one hour was up. What was Shen Hui in such a hurry about?

In a certain instant just now, although it was only an instant, Shen Yue noticed a change occur in Shen Hui's eyes. The emotion concealed within them was... agony.

What could have happened to make the Shen Hui who was happily shopping for clothes with her just a moment ago become anguished?

The answer wasn't hard to guess.

In that instant just now, Shen Hui must have had a flashback.

So in the mind of the present Shen Hui, she was able to see things that would happen in the near future.

The 20-year-old Shen Hui didn't tell Shen Yue too much about herself, but Shen Yue from the previous timeline had used Aprile to look up a lot of things about her, including Shen Hui's past.

Knowing those things and combining them with Shen Hui's current reaction, Shen Yue could infer some basic information.

In the near future, either Su Yunan or Si Chengyou, one of these two people would push Shen Hui into desperation.

In terms of probability, it was more likely for Su Yunan to appear at the current time.

As for Si Chengyou, he should still be preparing things to visit Eldest Brother.

After all, he was Eldest Brother's superior.

A young superior.
