So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

After receiving numerous assurances, Mrs. Huo finally left, her heart heavy with worry.

Xie Junfei had the best sleep quality she'd had since starting high school in Beijing.

When I woke up, it was already evening.

Xie Junfei woke up groggily.

The faint scent of cedarwood made her think that Huo Shen was sleeping next to her.

She groggily reached out and touched her side, but only brushed against the cool, smooth silk quilt—

The man is not in bed.

She struggled to sit up and looked around. Huo Shen was sitting on the sofa by the bed reading.

He was wearing a well-tailored suit, and the silver chain on his gold-rimmed glasses hung down his chest.

Under the dim light, the man's superior facial features, sword-like eyebrows, and deep-set eyes were perfectly highlighted.

Seeing his lover wake up, Huo Shen put down his book, and his slightly furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed.

Before Xie Junfei could get up, the man strode over to the bedside and pulled the girl, blanket and all, into his arms.

He lowered his head and gently kissed his little girl:

"It just snowed outside, and the temperature is low. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei's eyes widened in surprise.

"Snowing?"

Seeing how interested she was, Huo Shen nodded.

The next second, Xie Junfei felt herself being lifted into the air, as the man picked her up along with the blanket.

The world spun around her, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already wrapped in a blanket, sitting on Huo Shen's lap, together in front of the French windows.

A wisp of cool air seeped through the floor-to-ceiling windows, mingling with the man's elegant cedar scent. Xie Junfei felt as if he were in a pine forest that had just been covered in snow, and his heart was filled with joy.

Smelling the familiar scent, Xie Junfei's tense nerves slowly relaxed, followed by a surge of inexplicable grievances.

She struggled to turn over in the blanket, then kicked it off like a little fish, stretching out her fair arms to hug Huo Shen tightly.

The girl's warm body seemed to have a magical power, and the man readily embraced her.

Xie Junfei sniffed, her voice trembling with a hint of tears as she pleaded:

"Uncle Huo, I'm so tired."

"I don't want to go to school."

As she spoke, she rubbed against the man's chest like a kitten begging for food:

"I don't want to go to school anymore, school is too tiring."

"I want to be a freeloader! Uncle Huo, why don't you take care of me?"

With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, Huo Shen could no longer hear what this little princess was saying, and obediently continued her words:

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is."

"Fine, I'll raise you. Uncle will take you back to the old house and raise you into a little pig, okay?"

Hearing the man's confident reply, Xie Junfei calmed down instead:

"Then forget it, I don't want to turn into a little pig."

"Uncle Huo, I think I'll continue going to school."

The two chatted for a while, but Xie Junfei did most of the talking while Huo Shen chimed in.

As he spoke, the man, worried that she might catch a cold, pulled up the blanket that was half-hanging on the floor and covered them both.

The sweet scent of the girl mixed with the aroma of cedarwood, and the warmth of the blankets made it smell incredibly comforting.

When the topic of studying came up, Huo Shen interjected:

"So your grades are high enough to get into Peking University?"

Xie Junfei nodded, then winked at the man with a hint of smugness:

"But that's not enough."

"The city-wide joint exam is coming up soon, and I want to test my true level."

"If my grades are good enough, I'll help Uncle Huo get the top score in the college entrance exam, like first, second, or third place."

Seeing the little girl's spirited expression, Huo Shen pinched her soft cheek:

"No problem, I'll be happy no matter how you do on the test."

"But with your grades, my mom will be very happy when the results come out. She'll say that the Huo family has brought honor to its ancestors by marrying such an amazing girl."

After saying that, Xie Junfei immediately thought of how Huo's mother, dressed in a cheongsam, was trying to catch her son-in-law at the post station, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Huo Shen arranged for her to take two days off.

Including Saturday and the weekend, Xie Junfei got a full four days of rest at home.

Xie Ze was a student in the guaranteed admission class, and every night he would help her copy homework from the advanced class.

Over time, he also became familiar with the students in the advanced class.

Everyone jokingly calls him a "sister-doting maniac," saying that he is extremely worried about his sister.

Xie Ze was a prominent figure at Beijing No. 1 High School. Seeing him come to the advanced class to copy homework without fail, many people were curious about who his new sister was. Not only did she have the ability to be parachuted into the advanced class, but her brother also doted on her so much!

As soon as this topic was posted on the school wall, someone immediately posted photos of outstanding students from that year's sports meet:

"Have you forgotten the student who spoke on behalf of Tiancheng Private School at the sports meet? Xie Junfei is Xie Ze's sister!"

In the photo, Xie Junfei is wearing the standard school uniform of Tiancheng Private School, and her bright and beautiful face deserves the title of "outstanding among beauties".

Someone immediately commented below:

If I had a younger sister who looked like that, I'd spoil her just as much as Xie Ze would.

Most people agreed, but some had doubts:

Why is she suddenly interested in Beijing No. 1 High School instead of staying at Tiancheng Private School?

An anonymous account quickly responded:

[I heard from my friends at Tiancheng Private School that Xie Junfei came to Beijing No. 1 High School to take the college entrance exam because her grades were so bad that everyone in the experimental class went abroad, and no school accepted her!]

[She had bribed her way into becoming an outstanding student, but now that she's been exposed, she has to come back and take the college entrance exam.]

【I'd like to ask you this: Is Beijing No. 1 High School some kind of garbage dump, where all sorts of unwanted things from elite schools are thrown in?】

Such sarcastic remarks were immediately refuted.

The following comments were from students in the top-performing class, who criticized her, saying she was talking nonsense and that Xie Junfei was no trash at all, and that she was a good student.

The nature of Chinese people is to enjoy watching a spectacle; as soon as they see a post with people arguing, everyone rushes to watch.

The post quickly became a trending topic.

When Xie Ze showed his phone to Xie Junfei, Xie Junfei squinted and found it amusing.

What kind of nonsense is this? It's a rumor that doesn't even make sense logically.

But even with such nonsensical rumors, some people still believed them.

Early Monday morning, the driver dropped Xie Ze and Xie Junfei off at the gate of Beijing No. 1 Middle School.

Xie Junfei and Xie Ze got out of the car.

Although Beijing No. 1 High School is a public school, the students who can attend it all come from well-off families, at least middle class or above.

Upon seeing the brand of the luxury car, everyone turned their heads in surprise.

A little girl exclaimed softly:

"Seeing is believing. I never imagined that Xie Junfei was not only rich but also so beautiful."

"But judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem like a spoiled brat who doesn't study well."

The girl standing next to her scoffed, deliberately raising her voice in front of the group:

"Are you stupid? You believed someone who deliberately pretended to be an elite?"

"If she were truly outstanding, would Tiancheng Private School have treated her as a disgrace and sent her to our Beijing No. 1 High School?"

“My classmates at Tiancheng Private School said that all the students in the experimental class at Tiancheng Private School went abroad this year, and she was the only one who stayed in China to take the college entrance examination!”

"How can such a piece of trash have sycophants chasing after him? What a joke!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone looked at the girl, exchanging bewildered glances.

The girl became even more smug after realizing she had attracted everyone's attention.

She adopted an air of superiority, as if she were the only one who was sober in a world of fools, and lectured the girl next to her:

"Let me tell you, Xie Junfei used to be the daughter of the wealthy Qin family. Do you know why she was thrown out?"

"Because she's a fake heiress who usurped the family's place! She enjoyed a life of luxury in the wealthy Qin family for eighteen years, yet she was utterly useless. The wealthy family originally intended to let her off the hook, but in the end, they couldn't tolerate it any longer and kicked her out!"

"Later, in order to continue enjoying the life of the wealthy, she hooked up with a rich man at a young age, and even bought this luxury car on loan to make a show of it!"

"Tiancheng Private School's board of directors has always been upright and honest. They couldn't stand a woman like her who was ruining the school's reputation, so they expelled her!"
