On the very first day she is brought back to the Shen family, Shen Zhiyi is dragged into a family trial by the fake heiress.
Shen Mingzhu tumbles down the stairs and cries that Shen Zhiyi pushed her. Shen Zhiyi’s father flies into a rage, her mother is disappointed, and her three older brothers glare coldly at her. They all demand that she apologize.
Shen Zhiyi lowers her head and pretends to be obedient, but in her mind, she starts talking:
The Shen family members all freeze. They can actually hear her thoughts!
From then on, whenever the fake heiress puts on an act, her schemes fall apart on the spot. Whenever a scumbag pretends to be devoted, everyone learns about his debts and how he mooches off his family. The wealthy crowd waits to see the real heiress embarrass herself, only to watch her produce evidence, expose the fake innocent, reveal her secret identities, and deliver one face-slapping victory after another.
Later, the Shen family are so consumed with regret their eyes turn red, but Lu Yanci steps in front of her to protect her. “She doesn’t need your belated affection.”
