Originally a Young Miss

Upon hearing Chen Lin'er's articulate words, Qin Zhenzhen regarded her with curiosity. The eloquence seemed incongruent with the image of an illiterate woman. Furthermore, Chen Lin'er had just claimed to understand Wang Nian's confession.

"You received an education?" Qin Zhenzhen asked, her expression revealing a hint of surprise.

Chen Lin'er responded with a bitter smile. "If I were to tell you that I was once a wealthy young lady, would you believe me?"

Qin Zhenzhen wasn't particularly astonished. "I had already suspected something."

"Can you share your story? How did you end up in this situation?" Qin Zhenzhen inquired.

Chen Lin'er fell into a momentary silence, as if grappling with something difficult to express.

"If you'd rather not tell me, that's fine. Consider my question withdrawn," Qin Zhenzhen added.
