"Shen Wanxing!"
He Manzi had a particularly hard time discerning what truly mattered.
No issue, no matter how grave, should disrupt a public hearing.
Shen Wanxing's eardrums vibrated with her screeching.
She turned her head, frowning, not deeming He Manzi worthy of her attention. Usually, she would have the patience to indulge the girl's tantrums, but now she had neither the time nor the mood for it.
"Shen Wanxing, I've discovered your secret."
Triumph was written all over He Manzi's face. Although the He family members shared a resemblance, He Manzi's features somehow made her particularly loathsome, incapable of stirring the slightest bit of fondness.
Shen Wanxing was organizing her documents and paid her no heed.
Fu Shao stepped around her, putting distance between the two women.
But He Manzi was clueless about restraint. She sidled up to Shen Wanxing and whispered, not at all generously, "I know you are Shen Wan."
Her words caused Shen Wanxing's hands to pause.
