Chapter 512: Chapter 513 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 30_1

Feng Dan knew Huo Lei came to look for Shen Jie and was really curious about what he wanted with her.

"Sometimes, the fish and rabbits that Zhao Yu buys come from Gao Jian."

"Gao Jian is the boy Shen Yuan likes," she pointed out Gao Jian’s identity.

It really was like that, Feng Dan almost couldn’t help but blurt out vulgarities, "Is she an idiot?"

"Living in the same village, yet oblivious to each other’s affairs."

"Tricked into giving away things, left without any face or substance, and the man she financially supports turns out to be such a worthless character."

Feng Dan truly didn’t understand what Shen Yuan was thinking, "Does she have a problem with her brain?"

"So easily deceived by others."

Feng Dan had heard of Shen Yuan before but hadn’t met her, and now that she saw her, she looked as shrewd as Feng Dan imagined.

"How could she be so easily fooled?" "Such an idiot."

"That’s the magic of love, she thinks Gao Jian treats her well," Shen Jie reflected for a while, thinking that if Shen Yuan liked Gao Jian, it must be because she felt valued by someone.

"My male cousin really favors boys over girls; if it weren’t for competing with me, if he weren’t hoping that his daughter would find a decent man after graduating from high school..."

"He certainly wouldn’t have let her finish high school."

"Gao Jian knows how to make her happy, to agree with her words. In short, he makes her feel like she’s not dispensable."

Anyone would like to hear praise. Shen Jie truly didn’t find it strange that Shen Yuan behaved this way.

I see, Feng Dan got it, "Isn’t she worried that Gao Jian, who can make her happy, might also charm others?"

Just from the fact that this man kept the money he earned and didn’t give it to Shen Yuan but instead relied on her financial support, it was clear that he was sly.

Look, only those outside the situation can see clearly, "He must be casting a wide net."

"But Gao Jian, well, he doesn’t look all that great, though he’s good at pleasing people, he’s also somewhat insecure, so sometimes I think his mental state isn’t very stable."

"Whether it’s true or not, I learned from Shen Yuan that Gao Jian is only nice to her."

Shen Jie really didn’t understand, as to someone like Gao Jian, Shen Yuan was the only one who treated him like a treasure.

Feng Dan uttered an "Oh," looked at Shen Jie, definitely more pleasing to the eye than Shen Yuan, and also wealthier than Shen Yuan.

Feng Dan was quite puzzled, "You’re not bad-looking either."

"Why doesn’t Gao Jian like you?" It wasn’t like he wanted someone to look after him, to give him money to spend, so why would he overlook Shen Jie?

As for that, Shen Jie really hadn’t thought about it, "Maybe it’s fate?"

"Or maybe it was because the first time we met, Shen Yuan repeatedly reminded me in front of me, saying that he was her boyfriend, warning me not to take an interest in Gao Jian."

"Once I knew what kind of person Gao Jian was, how could I be interested in him?"

"I’m not out of my mind; if she likes him, then let them be together."

"Do you warn Shen Yuan?" Feng Dan felt that even Zhao Yu knew of Gao Jian’s character, surely many more knew about Gao Jian’s business dealings.

Warn her? "I never thought about warning her, and I can guarantee that if I did, Shen Yuan would only resent me more."

"Gao Jian would see me as a thorn in his side and might think of ways to ruin me."

Even if they weren’t from the same village, and even if they were wary of them, there was no such thing as a thief who never gets caught.

Shen Yuan, that person, really didn’t have that much guts. She just liked to badmouth people behind their backs. As for actually getting physical, she absolutely didn’t have the courage for that.

Gao Jian was different. Having been through a lot since he was young, he had a tough heart, and of course, he was a cunning person. All the dirty work was left to Shen Yuan, and afterward, he would just complain about it in front of her.

After hearing Shen Jie’s thoughts, Feng Dan nodded incessantly, "Right, right, right, we can’t talk about it."

"Just pretend we don’t know anything about it; otherwise, if this blows up, what will we do if it’s directed at us?"

Even though the two of them basically busied themselves only in that bit of farmland, they rarely went out, but that didn’t mean they never went out at all.

They had to go to the neighboring village to buy things, and also up the mountain to pick stuff. What if someone lay in wait for them at their doorstep and saw them going up?

Thinking of this, Feng Dan was quite frightened, "Right, right, we can’t tell anyone."

"I don’t believe he’s done so much business without anyone noticing."

In the past, no one paid attention because the transactions were straightforward, with money and goods exchanged without needing to know who the other party was.

Now that they knew some of Gao Jian’s background, they would take a closer look at him when doing business.

Once or twice, he wouldn’t notice anything wrong, but with more frequent encounters, especially with people from the farm looking at him, particularly after someone asked if he knew Shen Yuan, he realized that something seemed a bit off.

"Brother, why would you ask about Shen Yuan?" This time, Gao Jian was doing business with the major client Zhao Yu, and after some thought, he still voiced his question.

"I had no choice. A few days ago, Shen Yuan came to the farm looking for her sister Shen Jie to borrow money," Zhao Yu talked at length about the scene that day.

"With such a fuss being made, of course people are curious, of course they’ll ask the person involved."

"Later they found out that instead of asking the village for an advance on the harvest, she was asking Shen Jie for money. Shen Jie didn’t have money to lend her and yet Shen Yuan kept bad-mouthing her everywhere."

"People are curious, wondering how much can a woman like her really spend? Shen Jie mentioned she also had to support Gao Jian’s living expenses."

"Her own income can’t possibly cover three people, not to mention the money borrowed before has never been repaid."

Zhao Yu patted Gao Jian on the shoulder, "Looking at you doing business, you don’t seem like someone who’s short on cash."

"So we’re all curious why Shen Yuan is out there tarnishing your reputation, saying she has to support you."

Zhao Yu said that he thought Shen Yuan was lying, but in truth, he suspected that Gao Jian was the deceiver and kept an eye on him.

Gao Jian of course knew that Shen Yuan had gone to find Shen Jie and came back empty-handed. He even planned to encourage Shen Yuan to continue asking Shen Jie for money in a couple days.

Despite having a salary at the farm and plenty to eat and drink, she just wasn’t willing to lend them a hand. He had never seen anyone so stingy.

Right now, he was internally relishing his luck for not having made a scene, or else there would have been no good outcome for him.

He hadn’t expected that the mere words leaked by Shen Yuan would lead the farm folks to sense a problem in her words, which then got traced back to him.

Gao Jian suddenly felt a surge of nervousness. This wouldn’t do; he had to be careful and avoid collaborating with people from the farm in the future.

If they slipped up and mentioned his business dealings to Shen Jie, who would then bring it up with Shen Yuan, he couldn’t predict how she would react.

Having seen Shen Yuan’s temper tantrums, he really couldn’t bring himself to like her. In his heart, the kind of girl he liked was always the beautiful, gentle type.

Of course, a girl who could also help the family out would be even better, like Shen Jie.

It’s just a pity that girl was also quite thorny to handle, rarely speaking to him. Now, looking at her again, she seemed like a rose with thorns, and that was something he really disliked.
