Chapter 7.2: Suspicion
“You have the key to this place… Wait, isn’t the rooftop of the old dormitory supposed to be Senior Tian Shui’s domain?”
Jian Sichun’s reaction was unexpected to Shi Hai, who thought, ‘So Senior Tian Shui is really famous in school,’ and then asked.
“You know Senior Tian Shui?”
“No, I don’t… A high and mighty figure like her, how could I know her?”
“I see.”
The conversation ended there, and Jian Sichun fell into her own thoughts.
In her previous life, Jian Sichun hadn’t interacted with Tian Shui, but she had heard of her impressive reputation.
After starting her third year, she studied abroad, then got her Ph.D. and returned home, while most people were still completing their undergraduate studies.
Upon returning, she founded an internet company, focusing on communication and high-tech fields, and within five years, the company went public, named ‘Tianshi Group.’
In Jian Sichun’s known history, the company went through several mergers and acquisitions, eventually becoming a well-known ‘business empire.’
For ordinary people, these details weren’t of much concern, aside from marveling at the rise of another super-rich individual.
More talked about was the CEO and Chairwoman of the company, Tian Shui.
Strong-willed, extraordinary, young, beautiful, and with a stunning figure.
She represented the epitome of the ‘perfect rich woman.’
Despite not being a celebrity, she had more fans than some A-list stars.
The reasons for men’s attraction were obvious, but many female fans admired her for her independence, seeing her as a spiritual leader due to her single status and lack of any scandalous news.
Jian Sichun had watched an interview about this on a program.
After watching, Jian Sichun merely marveled, ‘Wow, so our alma mater produced such an incredible person,’ but didn’t idolize her.
After all, such a legendary woman felt too distant.
While Jian Sichun admired her, she didn’t envy her.
So what if she had vast wealth?
Still, she was just a single old maiden!
Jian Sichun thought with a bit of malice.
Not only that, but she also felt a strange sense of superiority.
I have a man who loves me most and only me!
Jian Sichun vaguely remembered that the program revealed Tian Shui’s favorite spot in college was the rooftop of the old dormitory…
A place supposedly off-limits to anyone but her.
Why did Shi Hai have the rooftop key?
And why did he call her ‘Senior Tian Shui’?
She recalled watching that program with him, and at that time, he addressed her by name.
Jian Sichun was puzzled because Shi Hai had never mentioned this to her.
They had promised each other to share everything without reservation, keeping no secrets between them.
Jian Sichun felt her instincts as a woman were signaling suspicion.
As they climbed the stairs, Jian Sichun remained doubtful, and Shi Hai, feeling unnerved by her gaze, quickened his pace until they reached the rooftop.
Shi Hai found the door open again.
It seemed the owner was there.
This time, Tian Shui wasn’t standing on high but was facing the entrance as if waiting for him.
Seeing Shi Hai and Jian Sichun enter, Tian Shui subtly glanced at Jian Sichun.
In the next second, she acted as if she hadn’t seen Jian Sichun, warmly greeted Shi Hai, and clung to his arm.
“Oh dear sweetheart~ It’s been so long~ I missed you so much~”
Her sweet voice gave Shi Hai goosebumps.
Meanwhile, seeing Tian Shui act like a seductive vixen, Jian Sichun was petrified.
Her sense of superiority shattered into pieces.
