Chapter 2295 - 733: Beautiful and Rich Girl and the Foreign Thoroughbred_2

Damn scumbag! Shameless scheming Yanyan!

Just as she was seething with anger, imagining all sorts of violent scenarios in her mind.

With a click, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Xu Qing let out a small gasp and quickly pulled up the quilt, burying her head into it.

Light footsteps approached slowly.

It’s her best friend!

Xu Qing bit her lip, momentarily unsure how to face her.

Fuming!

The curtains were drawn open with a "swish", making the bedroom much brighter.

The mattress creaked as it sank down.

Her best friend sat beside her and then didn’t move.

Xu Qing shivered, stealthily moving her head upwards, her big, dark eyes peeking out bit by bit from the edge of the quilt.

Immediately, she saw a pair of bright eyes filled with laughter.

Shen Yuyan seemed to have just finished her morning exercise, dressed in a red tracksuit.

The tight sports top and the jacket with the zipper undone perfectly showcased her full, upright curves and a slender waist with no excess fat.

Her long, black hair hung loose casually, her face flushed with the natural blush of post-exercise, exuding both youthful vitality and pure sensuality.

Xu Qing instantly recognized it as the tracksuit her best friend often wore during their university days.

She’s... she’s playing another "nostalgia play" with Song!

Seeing her best friend’s radiant, refreshed appearance and thinking of her own miserable situation from last night, Lady Xu Qing’s grievances surged into her heart.

She clutched the quilt and sat up abruptly, cheeks puffed, glaring at her with those big, dark eyes.

"Yo, you’re awake?" Shen Yuyan showed no guilt whatsoever, but instead leaned in with a smile, reaching out to pinch her cheek, "Fool Qing."

"What the hell! Scheming Yanyan!" Xu Qing slapped her hand away, stiffening her neck, daring yet hesitant as she began to question, "You, you last night... how could you do that?!"

"Do what?" Shen Yuyan blinked innocently, "I was trying to help you take on the punishment, then I got drunk, so... I slept here. As for what happened afterwards, I can’t remember too clearly. What, did I do something outrageous?"

Xu Qing was caught off guard by her counter-questioning, "You... I... Tang Song..."

She stuttered, unsure where to begin.

She drank too much last night, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Although everything seemed real, her best friend’s interruption made her doubt if she had just had some ridiculous dream.

Or... did Song take advantage of Yanyan’s vulnerability to harass her?

This thought occurred to her and she immediately dismissed it.

She knew her old best friend too well. From suggesting to "share the punishment" to "purposely staying in bed", every step was filled with long-planned intentions.

Looking at her knowingly playing dumb now.

Xu Qing was bubbling with anger, "You... you stop with the act! You really think I’m that dumb?!"

Shen Yuyan’s smile froze slightly.

She didn’t argue further but turned around, gently hugging Xu Qing from behind.

"Qingqing," her voice was soft, tinged with a slight tremble, "Do you remember how we are the best friends in this world?"

Xu Qing was taken aback, subconsciously nodding, "Yes."

"Then you trust that I would never do anything to hurt you, right?"

"...Yeah."

Xu Qing’s voice was muffled.

She wouldn’t claim it elsewhere, but when it came to friendship, she had an almost blind, absolute trust in Shen Yuyan.

They had been best friends since they sat together in junior high.

Through over a decade, they skipped classes, cheated, fought, and shared those unspeakable girl secrets in bed together.

Their wardrobes were shared, and they never differentiated their pocket money.

Shen Yuyan even secretly changed her college application, despite having scores for better schools, just to attend the same university as her.

Her father was so furious over this that he ended up in the hospital and didn’t speak to her for months.

Shen Yuyan rested her chin on her shoulder, murmuring, "Qingqing, in truth, you don’t really understand Tang Song. You don’t know how terrifying he truly is."

"It’s you who don’t understand! Let me tell you, Song is super creepy! He’s got all kinds of..."

"I’m not talking about that." Shen Yuyan interrupted her, exasperated, "Think without the emotional filter. Besides being a bit lewd and romantic, can you find any other flaw in Tang Song?"

"I... I..." Xu Qing was at a loss, stammering unable to answer.

"I’m referring to his real identity." Shen Yuyan’s tone grew more serious, "There’s something I haven’t told you."

"What is it?"

"Tang Song is a shareholder of Smile Holding, controlling 5% of the shares, and... he’s friends with Chairman Jin."

"What?! " Xu Qing’s eyes widened, screaming in disbelief, "Song knows Chairman Jin?! And he’s a shareholder of [Smile Holding]?!"

"Yes, without a doubt." Shen Yuyan affirmed, "Tonight, he’s going to France with Xue, then straight to New York to attend the [Smile Holding] global shareholders’ meeting. I’ll be going too."

Xu Qing was completely stunned.

Recalling when they first met, he was just the owner of [Songmei Clothing], with particularly nice hands.

But within less than a year, he had continuously challenged her understanding.

Looking at it this way, Song really did seem like the protagonist of a novel!
