Trouble

Shen Xueran was relaxing in her seat with her eyes closed. Since she was in the classroom, there was nothing she could do for now other than studying.

Qiao Jin wouldn't come looking for trouble today since he has gone to assist Fu Jinyan with his work, so the class was also peaceful.

She was thinking about The auction that her grandfather told her to attend. She is going with Patriarch Shen of the Shen family, so no one will come to peek at her, this was a good opportunity to make deals with other companies.

The Shen family was one of the three most influential families in the capital. But due to the lack of a proper heir or a strong bond in the family, the Shen family lost most of their influence in the capital. But the relation between the families remained the same as it was before because of patriarch Shen.

If he were to give away his position to Shen Ming and retired early, the Shen group would've gone bankrupt losing everything by now. So Shen Cheng was thinking about how to raise a proper heir for the company, that's when he brought Shen Xueran home. She knew about everything from Grandpa Shen. 

This auction is an important one, because it was mentioned in the novel as well. In this auction, there was land at a low price, and Fu Jinyan bought it. After buying, everyone was laughing at him. Because the land was in a state where you can not farm or can not make any construction.

Later, when he mined the land, it was discovered as a diamond with a big amount of diamond ore.

'Truly, Just because he is the Main Character, his luck knows no bounds' Shen Xueran snorted silently.

'But sorry, this time, I'm gonna snatch away your luck, let me take it for once' she smirked like an evil woman in her mind.

As she was thinking, suddenly the classroom door opened. Everyone was surprised to see who came inside and started whispering to themselves.

'Hey, isn't that Young Master Fu? What is he doing here?'

'He was supposed to be in the welcome section, right?'

'Yeah. Maybe, the welcome party ended'

'But who is that girl beside him?'

Shen Xueran got curious when they mentioned a girl. So she tried to see by jumping over other students' heads. When she saw the girl, she froze in place.

'Isn't that Fu Yaoyao? What is she doing here?'

They gave her a mission to protect her in the school, but if she somehow recognized Shen Xueran, things would get difficult.

'Anyway, she didn't saw my face, so she wouldn't be able to tell whether it was me or not'

So Shen Xueran decided to pretend to not know her, so she sat in her seat looking outside the window.

***

Fu Yaoyao saw the guy sitting by the window first, and her eyes felt as if it was stuck to him.

The light from outside spread over the young man's face, which had skin so fair that it was almost glowing. Through the windows, one could almost feel the gentle peacefulness of life from his face. His eyes were covered by glasses, but this gave him a mysterious aura.

Fu Yaoyao wondered what his eyes would look like if she took off his glasses.

'But… doesn't he look somewhat familiar? Where have I seen him before?'

She really wanted to see and talk with this guy. She couldn't be bothered with the girl sitting beside him, so she directly started to walk towards Shen Xueran's desk.

"Hello, may I know what your name is? You look like someone very familiar that I met before," Fu Yaoyao directly attacked Shen Xueran, slamming both her hands on his desk.

Shen Xueran looked at her motionlessly, Fu Yaoyao saw the fiery red ruby eyes beneath his glasses. His eyes gave off a gentle wave that could capture any girl's heart. She blushed as her heart suddenly beat first.

"Are you talking with me?" Shen Xueran asked with a calm and gentle voice.

Fu Yaoyao felt as if she was going to melt from his gentle voice. How could a person have such a magnificent voice?

"Yes. May I know what your name is?" Fu Yaoyao asked with a dreamy voice, as if she was bewitched by him.

The corner of Shen Xueran's mouth lifted up, curving in a smile. She knew very well about her appearance, and also knew where to use it. But she didn't expect that she would use it on her client someday.

Moreover, it seems like she really suspects something. If she were to know something, this would interfere with her work. It can even make them fall in dangerous situations. So she decided to nip her curiosity in the bud.

"My name is… Shen Xueran," she gave off a smile, making her caught off guard.

Fu Yaoyao had never seen such a beautiful person before. Her heart was racing fast like a horse.

'He looked as if he came out of a famous painting'

'There is no way I have met him before,' she was convinced.

But before she could ask something more, a gloomy voice rang throughout the room, "What are you doing over there, Yaoyao?"
