Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 149 - The Variety Show

"Everyone sitting here are the people I'm closest to in the world. I'm already old and plan to settle down here, so the rest will be left to you youngsters." Sitting at the head of the table, Grandfather Yang made a toast.

"Grandfather Yang, I wish you a long and healthy life." Shen Zhining raised his cup.

Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at him and suddenly felt that Demon King Shen wasn't all that bad.

"Come, everyone, cheers! My legs aren't well, so I won't be standing up." Grandfather Yang raised his wine glass.

Everybody toasted and drank.

Grandfather Yang sighed as he reflected, "In life, the mountain road coils around each new peak, full of twists and turns. Sometimes, you might think that you've reached the end, but if you persevere, there'll always be another way."

In this room, only Sheng Jiaoyang and An Jing knew why Grandfather Yang was sighing like that. Although the others were puzzled, they didn't think about it too much.

After eating and chatting for a while, Grandfather Yang ran out of energy and called for An Jing to bring him back to his room to rest.

Xu Qing and Li Weiqi were about to get married, which was an intimate and close period, so they also returned to their room.

Sheng Jiaoyang and Shen Zhining were the only ones left in the living room.

"You should rest early, I'm going to my room." Sheng Jiaoyang turned, about to go upstairs.

"I heard that Grandfather Yang wants to pass on his assets to you?" Shen Zhining suddenly said, his voice carefully neutral.

Sheng Jiaoyang halted and turned to look at Shen Zhining.

"Any complaints?"

She raised an eyebrow, a trace of pride on her face. "If you have complaints, keep it to yourself. This was my grandfather's decision."

Shen Zhining's lips curved; such shameless behaviour was rare.

"I'm leaving." Sheng Jiaoyang started to walk away.

"Your tricks are pretty good. You easily got what other people work for a lifetime for but will never get," Shen Zhining said from behind her.

Sheng Jiaoyang paused. "Thank you for your compliments! I'll continue to work hard and fight for what other people can't get even with two lifetime's worth of work." She didn't look back as she walked upstairs.

Shen Zhining narrowed his eyes as his lips curved into a sneer. "Heh!"

After not going to school for a long time, Sheng Jiaoyang got up early the next day and bundled up to go to school. She first returned to her dorm where all three girls were present.

"Oh, our big celebrity is back~" Pan Mingyue, who was applying her eyeliner, couldn't help but mock when she saw Sheng Jiaoyang.

Sheng Jiaoyang ignored her as she walked to her stuff. However, just as she was about to find the books for today's classes, she suddenly frowned.

"Who touched my books?" She turned to look at the three girls in the room.

Although she hadn't returned to the dorms for a while, she remembered where she'd placed all her books. When she'd looked just now, she saw that all her books had been moved and messily arranged.

"I didn't touch them!"

"Neither did I!"

The two other girls hurriedly shook their heads.
