She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 812: Chapter 810: The Barrage Scam 32

"The Qiao family has assets abroad, and it’s said they’re doing pretty well, so under no circumstances should we go overseas," Shen Zhenxiong said, despite a fleeting thought that crossed his mind which he eventually dismissed.

That would be too uncontrollable.

In that moment, he did consider arranging for someone abroad to kidnap Rong Yu. Isn’t Qiao Chen quite concerned about Rong Yu? Using Rong Yu’s safety might just make her compromise. He thought it was almost impossible for her to hand over the Qiao family’s assets, but it would at least make her pay a price.

But then he realized that the Shen family had barely any foothold abroad.

Taking a wrong step here would be a disaster.

In hindsight, Qiao Chen, this seemingly innocent girl, is actually ruthless and not easily manipulated.

Therefore, he decided to stick with the original plan: first ensure his two sons establish some connections with Qiao Chen. They mustn’t expose any of the Shen family’s weaknesses, making her consider the Shen family as her own. If any issue arises for her, everything related to the Qiao family would belong to the Shen family.

In fact, everything was going well aside from the appearance of Rong Yu.

Even if this Qiao Chen isn’t as harmless as she appears, at least she is close and trusting towards the Shen family.

"Find a way to make her celebrate her birthday domestically," Shen Zhenxiong said, "If she still attempts any action, cooperate at first and then find an opportunity to expose everything. Doing such things behind closed doors is already against the law, so have her sent in first."

Shen Zhenxiong squinted his eyes: "But the person who exposes everything must not be one of us, do you understand? We have to act as if we’re unaware, appear appropriately saddened when we learn of what she’s done. After being upset, we must slowly forgive her, not distance ourselves, and still show concern for her."

Everything about the Qiao family is worth their painstaking efforts.

"No matter if Rong Yu can be cured or not later, it doesn’t matter to us. Besides, when she’s in custody, would Rong Yu really continue to stick by her?"

Shen Muyang finally relaxed, his smile widening: "Alright then, I’ll keep persuading her when the time comes."

"It’s best to have her agree to hold a birthday party, create such opportunities, and after the party when the guests have dispersed, leaving only the closest ones, that is likely when she will take action," Shen Muzhi chimed in. "But who should uncover this matter?"

The four of the Shen family exchanged glances and laughed, because if it’s not a member of the Shen family, then it would be quite normal for anyone to uncover this matter, wouldn’t it?

Ah Chen noticed that Shen Muyang had become much more enthusiastic towards her lately compared to before. Naturally, since he didn’t get along with Rong Yu, he now had to bicker with Rong Yu every day.

Because she had a "purpose," she, of course, treated Shen Muyang as kindly as possible.

However, when facing her "white moonlight," she still couldn’t help but lean towards Rong Yu.

Shen Muyang always seemed frustrated, but there wasn’t much real anger in his eyes.

Now, everyone in the class knew about this. Shen Muyang was competing with Rong Yu for her favor every day in front of her, and everyone could see that Shen Muyang really liked her.

Recent comments were all about this topic. Some supported Shen Muyang, saying Rong Yu was too much of a green tea, while others supported Rong Yu, saying Shen Muyang had nothing to offer and was just an academic failure.

On the surface, these comments seemed so normal. Who would have thought they were deliberate, merely intended to blur her vision?

Ah Chen also discovered something interesting about Ning Xueren, whom Shen Muyang mentioned last time.

Indeed, Ning Xueren was quite outstanding, consistently maintaining her rank as the top student in her grade.

Ah Chen’s expertise didn’t cover this area, so she only maintained the original performance level of the commissioner, without intending to shine in this area.

Lately, she noticed that Ning Xueren appeared quite often not far from her, sometimes glancing at her, sometimes at Shen Muyang. Very discreetly, on that cold, calm face of hers, almost no one could tell what she was thinking.

It was as if those glances were just inadvertent scans.

But Ah Chen still noticed something different.

In the commissioner’s memories, apart from much later seeing Shen Muyang and Ning Xueren getting married on television, she didn’t know of any interactions between Shen Muyang and Ning Xueren prior to that.

Even during her interactions with him, she rarely saw Shen Muyang and Ning Xueren together.

One was an academic failure, the other a top student in the grade, who would think they had any relationship?

But Ning Xueren seemed very interested in Shen Muyang.

As the semester drew to a close, Rong Yu diligently played the role of the "white moonlight," words now easily came to him.

Of course, as the "white moonlight," he couldn’t lag behind in academics.

After these days of hard work, he was confident he could achieve good grades in the end-of-semester exams.

The day before the final exams, Ah Chen and her friends were having a meal at the cafeteria.

Rong Yu suddenly spoke: "Chenchen, isn’t your birthday in half a month?"

Rong Yu said this because it was Ah Chen’s instruction.

She just didn’t want Shen Muyang to miss the chance to bring up the topic, so she had Rong Yu help out. A very considerate service, right? He should be pleased, right?

As expected, Shen Muyang felt a surge of joy at these words. He had been planning to pretend as if he suddenly remembered and bring it up. This Rong Yu, he did serve some purpose after all.

"Yes, Xiao Qiao’s birthday is soon. Do you have any plans? How about hosting a lively birthday party, inviting familiar friends over for a gathering?" Shen Muyang chimed in.

"I want to play at an overseas manor," Ah Chen said, with a smile on her face. "I initially planned to tell you all after the exams, but since it’s been brought up, if you have nothing planned for the holidays, you can come with me."

Xuan Wenwen quickly nodded: "Great, I’ve heard that the Qiao family not only has manors overseas but also castles. I never imagined I’d be lucky enough to experience that."

Xuan Wenwen clung to Ah Chen’s arm in excitement. It was clear she was genuinely thrilled.

Only Shen Muyang felt a sinking feeling; it confirmed what his brother overheard about the plan was indeed true.

"I’m afraid I can’t go abroad; my mom’s given me tasks over the holidays," Shen Muyang continued, looking helpless. "Just thinking about it gives me a headache, but I really can’t disobey her instructions."

"Oh no, I was only focusing on the excitement. Going abroad to play, unless accompanied by family, there’s no way my family would agree," Xuan Wenwen said with a pained expression, "But I’ll try to convince them. Maybe there’s still a chance."

"My brothers also have commitments, so even if they wanted to come with me, it’s not possible." The more Xuan Wenwen spoke, the sadder she became, as if missing out on a fortune, her entire face fell.

"In that case, it would just be me and Rong Yu," Ah Chen frowned slightly.

Rong Yu smiled and said, "Let’s wait until after the exams. It’s still early to discuss this now."

"You’re right," Ah Chen said. It might have been Rong Yu’s words, but she seemed to feel a bit better.

Shen Muyang, on the other hand, heard her inner thoughts.

[Didn’t expect Shen Muyang to be preoccupied. So what about Shen Muzhi? The plan was to take Shen Muyang to the manor, use the project to lure Shen Muzhi abroad, and once there, control him. Dealing with Shen family members domestically carries significant risk. Looks like there might be complications now.]

[Let’s wait and see Shen Muzhi’s situation. If it’s only one, then just one. Keep Shen Muyang as a precaution.]

[If both brothers can’t be lured abroad, have Rong Yu’s illness as an excuse not to go anyway. In any case, we must rescue Rong Yu.]

Shen Muyang was almost amused with anger.

She truly cared so much for Rong Yu!
