Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Why Is An Yan Treated Differently

This little girl, Mu Enyu, seemed soft and gentle. Considering they would be classmates for several more years, An Yan softened her tone and said,

"Okay."

Then, three more people stood up in the class.

"Us too! We also want to team up with the new student!"

Su Siming’s other lackeys, who were a step too slow, could only look on enviously at these three.

Su Siming took out some peanuts and, THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! pelted the three who had stood up.

"What’s this got to do with you? Sit down and behave!"

"Young Master Su, they have seven people, and you only have four!" one protested.

"So what if there are four of us? The four of us are more than enough to crush all seven of them. All of you, keep quiet and don’t try to steal my spotlight."

With that, the lackeys reluctantly settled back into their seats.

Their hopes of riding Boss Su’s and Boss Liang’s coattails for a paper co-authorship had been dashed. Regret! Heartbroken!

She had thought An Yan would struggle to find teammates. But in the blink of an eye, An Yan had formed a group of four. And those three new members were people An Shimeng herself had previously tried, and failed, to recruit! An Shimeng was on the verge of exploding with anger.

The first people she had approached were Su Siming and Liang Chen. After all, they both had good looks, good family backgrounds, and good grades. She had wanted to use this opportunity to make them part of her network. But Su Siming had said he wouldn’t join unless she agreed to be his girlfriend for a few days.

Was she, An Shimeng, going to be someone’s girlfriend for just a few days? What she wanted was to be Su Siming’s *official* girlfriend, the kind that would eventually lead to marriage. So, she had righteously refused, using the excuse that her studies were more important. After being rejected, Su Siming had dragged Liang Chen away with him.

She had also approached Mu Enyu. She knew Mu Enyu was from the Mu Family. Even though Mu Enyu was just an insignificant young lady from the less important second branch, she was still part of the elite socialite circles that An Shimeng couldn’t access.

Who could have imagined that these three, who had all rejected *her*, would end up joining An Yan’s team? And they had done so voluntarily! An Yan hadn’t even said a word of invitation! How ridiculous!

Did they think An Yan could come up with creative ideas and plans at a moment’s notice like she could? Hah! Just wait. Once *her* paper was finished first, those three would regret the choice they made today.

After class, An Shimeng led her team members to the laboratory, while An Yan rose from her seat, preparing to leave.

Su Siming grabbed her arm directly. "Where are you going? Aren’t we working on the paper?"

An Yan turned her head, her gaze falling indifferently on the hand gripping her arm.

Suddenly, Su Siming remembered the terrifying feeling of her choking him.

He sheepishly released her hand. "Woman, don’t get the wrong idea. I just think that since we’re a group now, we should get serious. We can’t afford to lose to that bunch of losers, right?"

An Yan flicked a finger, and Su Siming’s scalp tingled. He blurted out, "Woman, where did you poke me this time?"

An Yan looked at him coldly. "Dare to call me ’woman’ again, and I’ll hit your death point!"

Su Siming was furious. "But you are a wo— Hey! Have you no conscience? I was the one who helped you out of that tight spot just now!"

That was true, although An Yan hadn’t actually needed his help.

However, seeing as he was an ally, she withdrew her finger. "Do you guys have any ideas?"

Su Siming said, "My idea is that we absolutely have to win!"

It wasn’t for any other reason; he just couldn’t stand An Shimeng. She was the one who had started batting her eyes at him flirtatiously, wanting him to join some paper group. He had just casually suggested she be his girlfriend for a few days, but that damn woman actually flipped out, telling him not to get any funny ideas because she just wanted to study hard! Study her ass! Prancing around in front of him, acting all seductive, and she calls that studying! Hah! I may not be a good person, but you’re such a hypocrite, trying to have it both ways. That’s where you’re wrong. Little green tea, watch as your big bro here deals with you in the name of the moon!

Liang Chen said, "This is a competition between you and An Shimeng. I respect your decision. Whatever topic you suggest, we’ll work on it."

Mu Enyu’s face turned a slight red, her eyes sparkling. "I’ll listen to you too, An Yan! I trust you!"

"Alright then!" An Yan sat back down. "Have you ever heard of myasthenia gravis?"

The others were silent.

「In the laboratory.」

Xu Muwei, Chen Xiangyu, and a few others looked at the first draft An Shimeng had produced, their faces full of admiration.

"Mengmeng, you’re so amazing! How did you do it?"

"You truly deserve the title of ’talented girl,’ Mengmeng!"

An Shimeng shyly pursed her lips, tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, and said gently, "It’s nothing much. Let’s all focus on the experiment. We should aim to get these data points measured today."

The five boys in the team subconsciously gazed at her with infatuation. Pretty, talented, and from a good family background—An Shimeng was truly their ideal girl!

But what An Shimeng was actually thinking was: I need to get the data measured quickly, then submit the paper for publication. As long as it gets published, I can get a hundred million! Even if An Yan defaults and doesn’t have the money, I have ways to make Dad pay the fifty million An Yan owes on her behalf. And I’ll make Su Siming, Liang Chen, and Mu Enyu regret their decision!

Nearby, Xu Muwei raised her hand and smacked the boys. "Focus! If any of you sneak another peek at Mengmeng, I’ll gouge your eyes out!"

Aside from Xu Muwei and An Shimeng, the rest of their team consisted of students from provinces with notoriously difficult college entrance exams. They were all academically excellent, but their family backgrounds weren’t worth mentioning. So, when Xu Muwei spoke, everyone immediately snapped to attention.

We have to improve ourselves first, then we can pursue the goddess! Let’s do this!

「At five o’clock in the afternoon.」

An Shimeng’s group of seven walked out of the laboratory and came face to face with the four members of An Yan’s team. An Yan’s group seemed to be trying to enter the laboratory building but were being blocked by a teacher.

Students who wanted to use the lab first needed to apply to the relevant supervising professor. Only after approval would the professor personally escort them inside. An Yan and her group didn’t have a professor with them.

A flicker of amusement crossed An Shimeng’s eyes as she stepped forward and said gently, "Sister, are you trying to get into the lab? Shall I ask my supervising professor to help bring you in?"

The teacher blocking An Yan’s group said disapprovingly, "If you have your professor bring them in, your professor will be held responsible if any equipment inside is damaged."

An Shimeng could only let out a regretful sigh. "Oh, what can be done then? Liang Chen, why don’t you ask your grandfather for help?"

Liang Chen’s grandfather was the president of Luocheng University. However, when Liang Chen had decided to apply to this school, his grandfather had made it clear that he was to rely on himself for everything. He had assumed that since An Yan said they were coming to the lab, she must have already made arrangements. She had said it so naturally that he’d forgotten it was her first day at this school.

Mu Enyu gently tugged An Yan’s sleeve and said, "Let’s go back for now. We can come back once the application is approved."

Before An Yan could speak, Teacher Zhang, who had earlier taken An Yan to the classroom, hurried over. "Student An Yan, I hope I’m not too late?"

Teacher Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead. "This is the lab access card; I just got it processed."

An Shimeng was speechless.

Xu Muwei asked, "Teacher, why did you give An Yan an access card? Aren’t students required to be escorted by a teacher to enter the laboratory building?"
