Chapter 668: Chapter 324: Sun Jialin’s Thoughts

Room 403, Girls’ Dormitory, Shanghai International Studies University.

Looking at Gu Wanqing’s beaming face, Zhou Min pondered for a moment before walking over to Sun Jialin and whispering her question.

"By the way, Jialin, can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

Sun Jialin didn’t even turn her head. Instead, she continued fiddling with the plush toy Gu Wanqing had given her, seeming to like it very much.

Seeing this, Zhou Min, who was already used to her roommate’s aloofness, continued asking.

"Is Lin Shen really Qingqing’s brother?"

"Huh?" Zhou Min’s words made Sun Jialin’s heart skip a beat. She snapped her head around in astonishment, but after a moment, she recovered her usual composure and asked in return, "Why would you think he isn’t?"

"Because it just feels really puzzling to me," Zhou Min mused. "Think about it. Based on how Qingqing described that guy today, his qualifications are ridiculously good in every aspect. I’ve honestly never seen a second guy like that besides Lin Shen. I just don’t think she could be lucky enough to coincidentally bump into a guy who perfectly matches her brother’s exact requirements, right?"

"..."

Listening to Zhou Min’s analysis, Sun Jialin realized exactly where her suspicions lay.

After all, a guy with Lin Shen’s qualifications wasn’t just one in ten thousand—he was practically one in a hundred thousand. Height, looks, personality, and personal competence. He was impeccable in every aspect, even reaching the absolute pinnacle for his age group.

That was exactly why Lin Shen dared to boldly declare back then that only someone who earned his approval could become his sister Gu Wanqing’s boyfriend.

But now, it hadn’t even been that long, and she had already found someone. Moreover, based on her description, the guy was just about on par with Lin Shen.

This led Zhou Min to suspect that the guy Gu Wanqing was dating might actually be Lin Shen himself! And the reason he had pretended to be Gu Wanqing’s brother was simply to prevent her from being bombarded by too many suitors!

As her roommate, Zhou Min knew very well that Gu Wanqing hated it when guys suddenly showered her with unsolicited attention, as it completely disrupted her daily life. However, since Gu Wanqing had a soft personality and didn’t know how to turn people down, she was deeply troubled by the endless harassment from so many boys.

But ever since Lin Shen announced his standards for a "brother-in-law," the number of people pursuing Gu Wanqing had plummeted. This effectively alleviated the troubles in her daily life and perfectly solved her most pressing issue.

Because of this, Zhou Min felt her guess was highly plausible! Lin Shen wasn’t Gu Wanqing’s brother—he was her boyfriend!

As for why he didn’t openly admit to being Gu Wanqing’s boyfriend and instead claimed to be her brother, the answer was obvious. After all, rumors were already flying around school that Lin Shen, the boyfriend of their counselor Jiang Wan, was a wealthy heir.

That meant Lin Shen was currently two-timing!

Zhou Min’s eyes practically sparkled. She felt like she had just stumbled upon some incredibly juicy gossip, firmly believing her analysis made perfect sense.

Lin Shen got together with Counselor Jiang Wan first, and then Qingqing also fell for him. Though she didn’t know who pursued who between him and Qingqing, their relationship was definitely far from ordinary! Furthermore, they were likely keeping it a secret from Counselor Jiang Wan!

Seeing the slight smirk on Zhou Min’s face, Sun Jialin figured she had probably guessed the gist of it, so she desperately wracked her brain for a solution. Finally, a brilliant idea struck her, and she spoke up softly.

"Actually, your guess is wrong. Qingqing’s boyfriend and Lin Shen aren’t the same person, but the two of them do have a connection."

What? Her guess was wrong? Zhou Min froze for a moment before her inner desire for gossip ignited. Her face filled with curiosity as she pressed Sun Jialin for more details.

"What connection?"

"Friends from the same social circle. To be precise, he’s Lin Shen’s close bro," Sun Jialin calmly explained.

"The people in their circle of wealthy heirs have similar status, wealth, and age. As for looks and physique, he might not be quite as good as Lin Shen, but nurtured by money, he certainly wouldn’t be bad.

"Think about it. The wealthy people you see online who are ugly are usually successful folks in their forties or fifties. Have you ever seen an ugly second-generation heir worth over ten million? Makeup, fitness, plastic surgery... they have endless money and energy to spend on themselves, just like socialites.

"Most wealthy heirs aren’t ugly. Even if they start out looking ordinary, the enhancement of various luxury goods makes them dazzling. Therefore, it’s completely understandable why Qingqing speaks so highly of him."

"How do you know all this?" Zhou Min was a little confused now. "It feels like you’re really familiar with Qingqing’s boyfriend."

"Of course I am." In order to cover up Lin Shen’s true identity, Sun Jialin had no choice but to fabricate a white lie. "Because Qingqing’s current boyfriend is actually my ex-boyfriend."

What?! Zhou Min felt like she had just stumbled upon even more explosive tea. She shot a stealthy glance toward the door—Gu Wanqing had already left the room to wash up—and then leaned in close to Sun Jialin, whispering her question.

"Your ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes." Sun Jialin nodded. "My ex-boyfriend invited Qingqing out."

"And you let her go?" Zhou Min frowned slightly. "If he broke up with you, he’s probably no good, right?"

"I’m the one who’s no good." Sun Jialin decisively took all the blame onto herself. "In that relationship, I was the one who made mistakes. He’s a good person. He takes great care of Qingqing, and she’s in safe hands with him."

"What mistakes did you make?"

Sun Jialin’s strategy was a resounding success, cleanly shifting all of Zhou Min’s curiosity and probing analysis about Gu Wanqing’s boyfriend onto herself.

Zhou Min no longer suspected whether Gu Wanqing’s boyfriend was Lin Shen, nor did she care if he was two-timing anymore.
