Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 86 - The Future Is Long

Sheng Jiaoyang stood in front of the large, decoratively carved door without taking a step forward.

The bulky man standing beside her pushed opened the door, looking towards her. "Enter!"

"Why is your boss looking for me?" Sheng Jiaoyang took a few glances inside the room, feeling very uncertain.

These last few days, she'd completely forgotten about Demon King Shen. She'd just finished eating two bowls of noodles with her two fans and was planning to go back to school when she was forcefully seized after arriving at the school's gate by Demon King Shen's henchman, and forced here. Or, well, 'welcomed' here.

Speaking of this, why isn't Shen Zhining here yet?

Jing Weinan's face was expressionless, and he stayed silent.

Sheng Jiaoyang pursed her lips and took a deep breath before striding inside the mansion with her head held high. The bright marble floor reflected her silhouette. The clacking of her shoes, and even the sound of her breathing, echoed in the room.

The large door closed behind her with a heavy thud. She turned around and noticed that Jing Weinan hadn't entered with her.

"Miss Xu, please come this way!" Sheng Jiaoyang was shocked by the voice that suddenly came out of nowhere.

Sheng Jiaoyang turned her head to look, not knowing when another person had appeared in the room. He was Shen Zhining's meticulous English butler, Felix. She followed Felix as they made a turn and saw Shen Zhining sitting at the long table, eating his meal leisurely.

"Why were you looking for me?"

Shen Zhining didn't answer immediately, unhurriedly finishing his meal. He took a napkin and wiped his lips before finally looking over.

"My grandparents are coming over the day after tomorrow," he said.

"Really?" Sheng Jiaoyang quickly retracted the shock from her face. "What does that have to do with me?"

Shen Zhining's voice was calm as he said, "Tomorrow, get familiar with the island's surroundings. The day after that, prepare to welcome them."

"Wait, wait. When did I agree to this? I have military training tomorrow!"

"I'll help you apply for leave." Shen Zhining stood up and walked until he was in front of Sheng Jiaoyang, his gaze was deep as he looked at her. "From the way things look, it seems like you've forgotten about everything. Do you know what the outcome is if you swindle somebody in business?"

Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes twitched. Why is he bringing up swindling all of a sudden?

"You swindled six million dollars. What kind of punishment do you think you'll get? You, Lina, and her studio..."

"Stop! Isn't it just welcoming Grandfather Shen and Grandmother Andy? It's a simple task." Sheng Jiaoyang suppressed her madly pounding heart as she pretended to sound casual. No wonder he'd easily agreed to pay a penalty fee of six million. He'd dug a hole and waited for her to jump into it! When did Demon King Shen's style become this sinister and ruthless? She suddenly missed the Little Devil Prince from the past, whose methods were crude and simple. At least then, all of his intentions were clear.

The corners of Shen Zhining's mouth slightly hooked up as he warned her, "Don't even think about tricking me. I can completely ruin your wealth and reputation whenever I want."

Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Shen Zhining's back and grimaced. At the same time, she secretly cursed her own brain for not thinking things over thoroughly. How could she have thought that Demon King Shen would be so easy to fool? During that time her brain broke, she'd insisted on taking advantage of Demon King Shen. Look at how great that turned out. She'd willingly handed him the knife that could be used to slaughter her. Now, wouldn't she be completely at his mercy?
