The status and position of Lei Wan’er and Shen Huangyi are exceedingly mismatched.

The former is merely a wealthy heiress from a rich family, and although her family is considered wealthy, if scrutinized closely, they can only be regarded as ’upstarts’.

As for the latter, it is a different story altogether, as she is the daughter of a lineage family.

What is a lineage family?

It is a clan with familial blood ties that requires several generations, or even a dozen generations, of effort to build. At minimum, a lineage family needs the cultivation of more than three generations to be considered such, thus gaining its depth.

Why should a wealthy family only be called a wealthy family and not a lineage family? The vast gap lies in their lack of depth.

Therefore, a wealthy family in front of a lineage family can only be considered a vassal. Sometimes, whether a lineage family wants you as a vassal depends on whether they find you pleasing or if they are in a good mood.

Thus, a wealthy family truly amounts to nothing in front of a lineage family.

For this reason, Lei Wan’er only has the option to bow her head in front of Shen Huangyi.

However, now, Lei Wan’er dares to speak to Shen Huangyi in such a manner, which must be said astonishes Zhong Nan and Huang Xiaotian.

To be honest, even Shen Huangyi is a bit surprised.

Yet, not a trace of unusual flush appears on Shen Huangyi’s absolutely beautiful face; she remains extremely composed.

"Lei Wan’er, do you mean... I unjustly blamed you?" Shen Huangyi asked in this way.

"No! After all, we did indeed do so! However, we are also people and have our own dignity, so please do not overlook us so loftily."

Lei Wan’er said.

"You have dignity, that is your own affair." Shen Huangyi suddenly lifts the corner of her mouth into a mocking smile: "But to say that I am looking down at you from above, well, I have to admit this point. After all, my status is indeed higher than yours. However, it was my family who fought for this, if you don’t want me to look down on you like this, then strive for it yourself. Simply standing here talking is useless, this world is just like this, survival of the fittest, rules only apply to the weak, not to the strong."

"You!"

"Want to say more? No more, right? For today, I made an exception to say this much, simply to teach you a truth, if you don’t want to be oppressed like this, then work hard for yourself!"

Shen Huangyi coldly smiled, "I’ll leave the words here, if it were me, I would absolutely not engage in such betrayals! One must face the consequences of their actions alone, no need for other excuses! Perhaps you think I am speaking like this because I am not in that environment; believe it or not! Oh, also let me tell you, if it weren’t for his reason, I wouldn’t interact with you at all, understand?"

After speaking, Shen Huangyi turned and left, not caring at all what the three standing there might be feeling.

This is Shen Huangyi’s own way of doing things; she is such a person, merely needs to speak her mind, and as for what others think, that is their matter.

After Shen Huangyi left, the three stood in place, looking at each other.

Huang Xiaotian and Zhong Nan both looked at Lei Wan’er and saw her pretty face full of icy frost, her fists clenched at that moment.

"Lei Wan’er..." Huang Xiaotian tentatively whispered.

Lei Wan’er ignored him, she suddenly turned, looking in the direction Shen Huangyi left, her teeth clenched tightly, "Weak? Hmph, who do you think you are, Shen Huangyi? I, Lei Wan’er, will definitely not be inferior to you!"

Huang Xiaotian and Zhong Nan were silent, exchanging glances; they had never seen Lei Wan’er like this.
