Qinglan hadn’t expected that going out for a al would lead to an encounter with Shen Junyu. Looking at Shen Junyu appearing before her and then at Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan’s surprised smiling faces, Qinglan felt a headache coming on.
"I’m here having a al with classmates," Qinglan spoke up, without addressing Shen Junyu directly, trying to think of how to explain to Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan.
It wasn’t that she had intended to hide anything, but she had kept the secret from them for so many years.
Shen Junyu, oblivious to her thoughts, had already greeted Fang Tong with a smile, "Hello, I’m Lanlan’s brother, my na is Shen Junyu."
Both had recognized him the mont Shen Junyu approached; Fang Tong worked at Junlan Group, so obviously she would recognize her own boss, and since Shen Junyu was Yu Xiaoxuan’s idol, Xiaoxuan would not be a stranger to him either.
Originally, the two were surprised that Qinglan even knew Shen Junyu, and from Shen Junyu’s address, their relationship was special; however, once Shen Junyu opened his mouth, both were completely frozen in place.
"Bro... Brother?" Yu Xiaoxuan stared at Qinglan in disbelief.
Qinglan shot Shen Junyu a glare and nodded under Yu Xiaoxuan’s gaze, "Yeah, this is my brother, Shen Junyu."
Fang Tong: ...
Yu Xiaoxuan: "...Real brother?"
Shen Junyu smiled: "From the sa mother."
Yu Xiaoxuan: ...
A resentful gaze fell upon Qinglan, and even without looking, Qinglan could feel the reproach contained in that stare.
Shen Junyu, still belatedly realizing by now, had caused Qinglan a bit of trouble and faced Qinglan’s chill gaze, sheepishly smiling.
"Well, since we’ve run into each other, you wouldn’t mind joining us for a al, would you?" Shen Junyu broached the silence.
"Not at all," Yu Xiaoxuan responded subconsciously.
"You’re not alone, are you?" Qinglan asked.
"I ca here to dine with a client, just saw them off, but you know how it is with entertainnts, too busy drinking, didn’t get to eat," Shen Junyu said pitifully.
"We’ve just arrived too, if President Shen doesn’t mind, you can join us for the al," Fang Tong suggested, feeling sowhat uneasy. She hadn’t anticipated that Qinglan, whom she thought had the worst family conditions among them, was actually the Shen Family’s daughter.
They had been dormmates for three years, yet no one had discovered it, no, it might be said that no one in the school knew, otherwise the forums wouldn’t have been so united in condemning Qinglan before.
If Qinglan’s identity were to be revealed, it would likely cause a sensation throughout the school; her real identity as a prestigious daughter, her family lineage even surpassing that of the Yan Family.
"Order whatever you like, I’ll treat today as a way to thank you for taking care of my family’s Lanlan all these years," Shen Junyu offered graciously.
Yu Xiaoxuan waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, it’s mostly Qinglan who has been looking after us."
She looked at Shen Junyu with hearts in her eyes and blushed cheeks; this was her idol, after all. She couldn’t believe she could not only et her idol up close but could even share a al with him at the sa table.
Although Yu Xiaoxuan’s face showed her infatuation, her eyes were innocent, and Shen Junyu didn’t feel any discomfort, still smiling kindly at her.
Yu Xiaoxuan’s blush deepened, and Shen Junyu found it amusing. Just as he was about to tease her, a sharp pain shot through his foot. His expression changed, and he caught Qinglan’s warning gaze, imdiately abandoning the thought of teasing Yu Xiaoxuan.
Shen Qinglan calmly withdrew her foot and picked a chicken wing for Yu Xiaoxuan, "This salted egg yolk chicken wing tastes really good, have a try."
Yu Xiaoxuan nodded blankly, let out an "Oh," and chanically ate the chicken wing.
Although Fang Tong was nervous, seeing Yu Xiaoxuan’s infatuated look, she felt sowhat embarrassed.
"Our Lanlan is reserved by nature and doesn’t usually have many friends, but I often hear her ntion the two of you. You’re welco to co over to our house when you have ti," Shen Junyu said gently, like a close older brother.
"In fact, Qinglan is just a bit cold, but she’s really easy to get along with. We all like her a lot," Fang Tong said softly.
Shen Junyu’s gaze landed on Fang Tong’s face; suddenly, he felt that he had seen this face sowhere before. Thinking this, Shen Junyu asked out loud, "Have we t sowhere before?"
"I interned at Junlan Group for two months before; you probably saw back then."
With that, Shen Junyu rembered, "Are you the new secretary from the secretarial office?"
Fang Tong nodded her head.
"How was it? Did you get used to interning at Junlan?"
Fang Tong felt sowhat embarrassed, "I’m no longer interning at Junlan Group. There was just too much going on at school, and I needed to focus on my studies."
Shen Junyu nodded, "As a student, you should prioritize your studies. If you’re interested in joining the Junlan Group after graduation, you can send your resu directly to my email. You can get the email address from Lanlan."
Hearing this, Fang Tong was taken aback, pleasantly surprised, and she suddenly rembered discussing her post-graduation plans with Shen Qinglan. She had said she wanted to submit her resu to Junlan Group again and Qinglan had said she would get her wish.
At that ti, she thought it was just encouragent, but it turned out she was the actual sister of Junlan Group’s owner. Wait, Junlan, Junlan, Shen Junyu, Shen Qinglan. A bold guess ford in Fang Tong’s mind, and she slightly twitched the corner of her mouth.
It couldn’t be what she was thinking, right? But seeing Shen Junyu’s attitude towards Shen Qinglan, coupled with the na of Junlan Group, she felt more and more that her guess was correct.
"I heard from Lanlan that she has a friend who auditioned for Shengxuan. That’s you, right?" Shen Junyu looked at Yu Xiaoxuan with a warm gaze.
Yu Xiaoxuan hadn’t expected Shen Qinglan to even share such a small detail with her family. Rembering what Shen Junyu had said earlier about Shen Qinglan often ntioning them, she felt very happy inside.
"Yes... yes," Yu Xiaoxuan was a bit nervous.
Shen Qinglan inwardly rolled her eyes. She hadn’t told Shen Junyu about this at all; if he knew, it must have been Han Yi, the blabbermouth who said sothing.
Don’t think she wasn’t aware of the good private relationship between Shen Junyu and Han Yi.
"If you need anything, you can call ; I’m quite familiar with the boss of Shengxuan. I can ask him to look after you."
Yu Xiaoxuan shook her head, "No, it’s not necessary; everyone at the company treats very well."
Shen Junyu just smiled and said no more. Since Han Yi was aware of the relationship between Shen Qinglan and Yu Xiaoxuan, he would take care of her even if Shen Junyu didn’t say anything.
The dinner was sowhat tense, mainly for Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan. Suddenly knowing Shen Qinglan’s true identity was quite a shock, and they ate sowhat absentmindedly.
After the al, Shen Junyu took the initiative to settle the bill, "It’s already late. Can you still get back into school? If not, why not stay at our place tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan hurriedly waved their hands, "No need, no need. The dormitory lights out is at eleven o’clock; we can still make it back."
