Chapter 600: Why Did You Betray Me?

Gu Shuxin chose to corner Shen Nian at the dormitory entrance. It was already a busy place with people coming and going, and the sight of Shen Nian and Gu Shuxin facing off drew an even larger crowd eager for a good show.

The surrounding crowd grew even more excited, especially after hearing Gu Shuxin’s words.

’Just as expected, a real show is starting! So there really is bad blood between Gu Shuxin and Shen Nian! And who are Lu Cheng and Gu Ke’er? We’ve never heard those names, but it’s all got to be part of the drama!’

Since Gu Shuxin was the one who had posed the question, all eyes now naturally turned to Shen Nian, waiting for her answer.

"It was wrong of you to fall for Lu Cheng in the first place. You deserve condemnation without me needing to do anything. As for why Fanfan likes me and not you, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself? Regarding whether I can become Gu Ke’er—I am Shen Nian. Why would I want to be anyone else!"

Shen Nian completely understood why Gu Zifan disliked Gu Shuxin. Children may not understand much about the world, but their hearts are the purest.

They can sense better than anyone who is genuinely good to them.

Gu Shuxin had always interacted with the Gu family with such blatant self-interest, all in an attempt to win over Gu Zifan.

And forget the fact that Gu Zifan was a sensitive child by nature—even an ordinary kid probably wouldn’t like someone like her.

As for Gu Ke’er, no one had ever forced Gu Shuxin to become her. Even when the Gu family took Gu Shuxin in, they never intended for her to replace Gu Ke’er. It was all just a product of Gu Shuxin’s own insatiable greed.

"Hah, aren’t you high and mighty! Shen Nian, I refuse to believe you weren’t tempted by a family like the Gu family! I refuse to believe you didn’t have a single selfish motive when you got Gu Zifan to like you!"

"Think whatever you want. I don’t have to explain myself to you."

With that, Shen Nian turned to ignore Gu Shuxin, preparing to enter the dormitory and head back to Room 304.

"Shen Nian, don’t even think about leaving! Stop right there!"

Gu Shuxin couldn’t believe Shen Nian was just going to walk away. Unwilling to let her go, she lunged forward and reached out to grab her.

But with Shen Nian’s current agility, how could Gu Shuxin possibly manage to grab her?

Shen Nian simply swayed to the side, easily dodging Gu Shuxin. However, Gu Shuxin had put real force into the grab. When her hand met nothing but air, her own momentum sent her stumbling forward.

"Xiao Nian, are you okay?!"

Chu Lingxiu and her friends had returned to the dorm early. They had rushed down as soon as they heard Gu Shuxin was confronting Shen Nian at the entrance.

They arrived just in time to see the terrifying sight of Gu Shuxin lunging at Shen Nian with a vicious expression, which frightened them all. Thankfully, Shen Nian had been quick enough to dodge, so Gu Shuxin hadn’t even touched her.

"I’m fine."

Gu Shuxin’s momentum carried her right into the wall. When she finally steadied herself and turned to look at Shen Nian, she was a complete mess.

’Shen Nian should have been the one looking pathetic, but instead, it was her.’

’And these people now rushing to protect Shen Nian... Everyone at this school used to fawn over me. And Chu Lingxiu, the one standing by Shen Nian right now... she used to be the one who always cared most about me!’

"Lingxiu, I’m your best friend! Why are you betraying me to stand with Shen Nian?!"
