The learning atmosphere in No. 6 Middle School is very strong.
Especially for students in the second year of high school, there is only one year left before the college entrance examination. Everyone is concentrating on studying and rarely cares about other things.
Mingyue's days at school are exceptionally peaceful.
Except for Shu Mingyu who gradually became lively, talkative and clingy, the other classmates were easy to get along with.
Perhaps because Zhou's father's iron rice bowl was gone, the Zhou family members had no time to trouble Mingyue recently, which made her feel a lot more at peace.
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
Mingyue took Shu Mingyu and took a taxi to Shanda Mall.
Although Shu Mingyu said that he was not afraid of anything.
But when she was in the taxi, she kept pulling her skirt and touching her hair, and she looked extremely nervous.
Mingyue couldn't bear it anymore and joked, "We are just meeting some friends, not a blind date, so relax."
Shu Mingyu exhaled softly: "I want to relax, but I'm still a little nervous. You're my only friend since I was a child, and I'm afraid... they don't like me."
Mingyue felt a little soft at the words, and patted her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, they are very nice people."
While chatting, we arrived at our destination.
As soon as the two got off the car, Mingyue's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Mingyue, the sisters are all here. Are you and Sister Yu here?" There was a female voice with a smokey and drunken voice on the other end of the line.
"We are already at Gate No. 1 of the mall. Please wait, we will be there soon." Mingyue glanced at the sign at the entrance of the mall and said casually.
"Ok ok, see you at the usual place."
"Um!"
After hanging up the phone, Mingyue took Shu Mingyu to the fifth floor in the mall elevator, and then went straight to Fenghua Private Kitchen.
The waiter at the door saw her and said with a familiar smile, "Ms. Shu, Miss Song and the others are waiting for you in Box 7."
Mingyue smiled at him, held Shu Mingyu's hand who was starting to pull at her skirt again, and walked inside.
When they arrived at the door of box number seven, Mingyue was about to push the door open when Shu Mingyu suddenly stopped.
Under the warm yellow light, she lowered her head and whispered, "Mingyue, I, I'm still a little scared, how about I go back first?"
"You also said that we are friends. Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Mingyue said, pushing open the door of the box with one hand.
The door of the box seemed like a door to another dimension.
Once the door is opened, one is transported back to ancient times.
There are small pavilions, exquisite wood carvings and ornaments, antique stone tables, a small bridge and flowing water under your feet, and mist in the water, which makes you feel like you are in a fairyland.
The most eye-catching thing was the three beautiful girls wearing Hanfu who looked up at the same time.
However, the girls' beauty and tenderness only lasted for a second.
The next second, the three of them rushed towards Mingyue angrily at the same time.
"Shu Mingyue, don't you consider us as good sisters?"
"Such a big thing happened to you, why didn't you tell us?"
"You didn't reply to my messages, my phone calls were unreachable, and you just lost contact. Do you know how worried we are about you?"
"You took so long to contact us, we thought something happened to you?" With the repeated questioning, the beautiful atmosphere just now disappeared completely.
Mingyue gave a bitter smile. Shu Mingyue was actually a very proud person. She had her own backbone and self-esteem, so she didn't want her sisters from the same family background to know that she was a fake, a false daughter who had usurped the throne. She chose to swallow it alone no matter how hard it was.
But Mingyue is different. She doesn't care what others think of her. She will certainly make the best use of the resources and connections she can.
"My dear sisters, I was wrong, I was wrong. I just couldn't think straight for a while," Mingyue begged for mercy while pulling Shu Mingyu over to the side. "By the way, let me introduce you. This is my good sister Mingyu. She just returned to the Shu family. You must help me take care of her when you are outside in the future."
Long before coming here, Mingyue had explained the whole story about the real and fake daughter in a small group of four people.
Without saying anything else, after learning the details, everyone felt pity for Shu Mingyu.
The three girls' gaze shifted from Mingyue to Shu Mingyu.
The girl with a unique voice from smoking and a princess-cut hairstyle was the first to reach out to Shu Mingyu: "Mingyu, right? I'm Song Xunran, one year older than Mingyue. You can follow Mingyue and call me Sister Ran."
The girl, who looked very quiet and classically beautiful, nodded slightly towards Shu Mingyu and said, "My name is Lian Yeyu, and I'm the oldest person here. You can just call me Sister Yu."
The most lively and lovely girl climbed onto Shu Mingyu's shoulders and said, "Hello, Xiao Yuyu, my name is Murong Qing. We should be about the same age. You can call me Qingqing like Yueyue."
Shu Mingyu was stunned for a moment before greeting everyone one by one: "Sister Ran, Sister Yu, Qingqing, hello."
Seeing this, Murong Qing couldn't help but say to the others, "Xiao Yuyu is really too honest. If she were in the circle with such a personality, she would probably be eaten to pieces by Wen Hexue and her group."
The others nodded and agreed.
Only Shu Mingyu was a little confused: "Who is Wen Hexue?"
"Wen Hexue is the illegitimate daughter of the Wen family. She is the person who is most jealous and hates Yueyue in the circle. If she knew that you became the eldest daughter of the Shu family, she would definitely target you." Murong Qing explained.
Song Xunran raised her chin slightly, "But with me and her here, she can't do anything to you."
Lian Yeyu nodded slightly, her whole body exuding a calm and elegant temperament.
Only Mingyue noticed Shu Mingyu's confusion and introduced: "Among the four major families in Huaijing, Songlian, Shuwen, Ranjie and Yujie's families are the most powerful, and Qingqing's family is in politics. With them around, Wen and Xue really dare not touch you. I remember that the old man of the Wen family will celebrate his 90th birthday in a few days. At that time, you must go to the Wen family to celebrate his birthday. With Ranjie and the others around, I will feel more at ease."
Only then did Shu Mingyu realize how influential these "friends" were. They were the best lubricant for her to integrate into the upper class circle.
Shu Mingyu's nose suddenly felt a little sour. She blinked to hide the moisture in her eyes, and suddenly she was no longer afraid.
Because someone is planning for her, someone is treating her well without reservation, with this person around, she doesn't need to be afraid.
Shu Mingyue really is like a good sister.
Shu Mingyu suddenly let it go. It didn't matter whether she grew up in the Zhou family or the Shu family. She didn't care whether her parents cared about her or not. She had someone who was truly kind to her, and someone she wanted to protect.
A child who has never received love can easily become the mole in a girl's heart with just a little care.
Mingyue didn't know that Shu Mingyu had thought so much in just a short while.
Anyway, with the promise of Song Xunran and the others, Mingyue felt relieved.
You have to know that Shu Mingyu had such a miserable life in her previous life. Not only did the people in her circle take advantage of her misfortune, but Murong Qing and the others also watched coldly.
Originally, the three of them were kind-hearted people, but because of the death of their good friend Shu Mingyue, they became very angry towards Shu Mingyu. Even if she was having a miserable life, they just pretended not to see it.
When others know their identities, they just think that they hate Shu Mingyu as well, so they become even more ruthless towards Shu Mingyu. This is a vicious cycle.
Now everything has finally changed.
