Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Ha, I’ve Discovered the Secret!
‘It’s been three months since my last diary entry. During this ti, I’ve had a wonderful ti with Zhirou, and our family has been full of joy, so I haven’t been writing in my diary.
But… I can’t explain it, I feel so conflicted. Am I being too petty, or am I too sensitive? Why do I always feel that Zhirou isn’t truly sincere with ? We share a few mutual friends, including so I introduced to her. But gradually, they all started to distance themselves from
and got closer to Zhirou instead. It seems like the only one left close to
is Qiao Kexin, but I always feel that Qiao Kexin’s intentions aren’t pure in her approach to . Let’s not talk about Qiao Kexin for now.
I find Zhirou also acts a bit strange in front of our parents. Things we agreed to do together, she gives up on them as soon as Dad objects, leaving
to argue the case alone. This makes her seem understanding, while I’m portrayed as the one causing trouble and making unreasonable demands. But we both knew that Dad would definitely disagree!
Afterwards, she’d co and analyze the pros and cons with , making it sound very logical. Qiao Kexin says it’s all an act by her, which confuses .’

‘Sothing happened today that confird mine and Qiao Kexin’s suspicions. Shen Zhirou, she really was pretending!! She hates ! But I never intended to take her place as the Shen family’s young lady. Everyone knows I was adopted by the Shen family, and I never try to hide this fact outside! Ever since her return, I’ve been trying my best to get along with her, only to discover that her kindness was just an act in front of our parents!
This wretched woman, knowing that I had the final round of speeches at school today, took my phone and locked
in the bathroom of a remote teaching building. She has declared war on ! She said she wanted to take back everything that rightfully belonged to her.
My speech that I prepared for months was ruined by her, yet there are no caras in the corridors of that old teaching building, and no one believes , not even our parents, because she really knows how to act, appearing like a poor, pitiful, innocent girl, disgustingly innocent! It’s truly revolting!’
–
‘Shen Zhirou, this despicable woman, always finds a way to provoke , to push
to the brink of hysteria, making everyone around think I am the one with issues. I know I shouldn’t react this way, falling right into her trap every ti, but I can’t help it. I can’t help but assert myself, raising my voice to prove my innocence, but to others, my loud voice seems to indicate guilt and incompetence.’
–
‘She almost killed . On the rooftop of the 32nd floor, I was monts away from being pushed off by her. She pushed
to the edge of the railing, my upper body hanging over. I thought I wasn’t afraid of heights, but at that mont, I was terrified, dizzy, my heart racing! Even now, the thought gives
shivers. I dare not revisit that scene; she’s right, no one would believe . Forget it, if I forget, I won’t be afraid anymore.’
–
‘It’s been a long ti since I’ve written in my diary, the incident has been sealed away in my heart. I’m no longer studying managent, I don’t want to be her classmate anymore; I’ve switched to studying design, the sa major as my mom, and I’ll work in this field in the future.’
–
‘Qiao Kexin is right, I should disgust her, pick on trivial things to bother her with, since it’s harmless anyway. If she minds those petty things, that will make her seem the petty one. She forced
into this, it’s all her doing!’

At this point, the original owner’s diary paused.
Wenyan was too shaken to describe her feelings in words.
No wonder her mind held no bad mories of Shen Zhirou, they had been sealed away by the original owner.
Now, seeing the diary, all those painful, infuriating, and suffocating mories ca flooding back.
Perhaps because the body belonged to the original owner, the mont the mories exploded, Wenyan’s heart suddenly felt a pain as if pricked by a needle, lasting a good while.
Only after the pain subsided did Wenyan realize she had already been crying.
She never imagined that the original owner, who seed to have a death wish, was actually forced into it by Shen Zhirou!
The original her was so kind, yet she was relentlessly pushed to this point by Shen Zhirou!
How much suffering did she endure over those four years! Why did Shen Zhirou go to such lengths!
Wenyan suddenly felt a heartache for the original owner.
She stroked the words on the diary, making a silent vow to herself.
‘Wenyan, we share the sa na. Your body and my soul have t; this is our connection. Although I have no interest in fighting or grabbing what’s not mine, I want to seek justice for you. It doesn’t matter that there was no evidence in the past, she will slip up again.’
Wenyan closed the diary.
She went to the restroom, washed her face, and it took her a while to regain her inner calm.
After returning to the bed, Wenyan reopened the diary.
There were many pages between where the diary left off and the last page with the na of the deceased, and Wenyan planned to flip through them to see if there were any other discoveries.
This flip indeed made Wenyan find sothing unusual.
There was a piece of paper that had been torn from this diary.
But because the original owner wrote with heavy strokes, most of the handwriting had been imprinted onto the following page.
Coincidentally, the original owner had studied design before, and Wenyan found many pencils in the drawer when she was tidying up last ti.
She imdiately found a sharpened pencil, and quickly yet lightly scribbled over the blank page.
Soon, the white outlines of the letters appeared on the paper.
The handwriting was a bit sloppy and differed from the original owner’s usual script, but it was certain it was her own handwriting.
Wenyan recognized every single character on the paper, but when all these words were put together…
All she could say was that she was deeply shocked, her pupils almost quaking.
‘Ha, what have I found! She’s really a madwoman, she’s done for!’
This was the entire content Wenyan restored.
This… was truly explosive for Wenyan.
She closed her eyes and began to search through her mories, wanting to see what the original owner had witnessed to co to this conclusion.
She tried hard to recall, and finally, she found that section of mory.
But unfortunately!
That segnt of mory was very blurry because the original owner was intoxicated at the ti.
This dateless, ssy diary entry was also written by the original owner while she was drunk.
Not long after writing it, she had fallen asleep on the bed with the diary in her arms, and when she woke up unable to rember anything, she tore the page out in irritation.
But Wenyan believed that there was no smoke without fire.
Perhaps the original owner’s guess was not wrong.
For example, just now, Shen Zhirou had specifically gone to give Shen Jinghe a glass of juice.
Before doing so, she had inquired whether Shen Jinghe had accepted the small cake from her.
The sa brother, with whom she shared parents and blood relations, yet she did not ntion her elder brother, Shen Jingxiu, at all.
Her sudden turn of face and revealing her true nature was also because Shen Jinghe refused her juice.
All these minor details were worth pondering over.
