Wen Zhiyao deliberately showed her not-so-bright side to provoke Shen Huixin's anger.
Having known Shen Huixin for over twenty years, Wen Zhiyao understood her well.
She was arrogant, disdainful, and had a preference for the rich over the poor.
When Wen Zhiyao's family was still well-off, Shen Huixin would try to curry favor with them, but she would also backstab them behind their backs.
As the Wen Family fell, Shen Huixin's tail immediately stood up, as she took every opportunity to belittle Wen Zhiyao, spewing hurtful words without end.
This was also why Wen Zhiyao was always avoiding the Jian Family, and not merely because of Jian Keyan.
"Wen Zhiyao, is this how you talk to your elders?" Shen Huixin was infuriated, her tone harsh and acerbic.
She had some reservations at first, but since Wen Zhiyao had given her an opportunity to vent, how could Shen Huixin let it pass up on a chance like that?
