Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Her long, wavy hair, both relaxed and sophisticated, fell naturally, with just the right amount of volume, making her head appear rounder and her eyebrows and eyes more relaxed. She instantly shed her usual dullness and looked bright and elegant.

Her outfit consisted of a soft beige dress that accentuated her slender figure, paired with a bright red coat that was bold and flamboyant. She completed the look with matching red high heels, exuding a vibrant aura with every step. She was full of energy and looked exactly like a pampered and radiant heiress.

The only flaw is that her skin still has a slightly sallow tint, not quite reaching perfect whiteness. If she were to add a touch of exquisite makeup, she would definitely be stunning and captivating.

The hairstylist stood to the side, looking at his work with obvious pride, and continued to enthusiastically recommend his work: "Miss, you have such a great natural look! We have a professional makeup artist in our shop who can give you a light makeup look; it will make you even more stunning. Would you like to try it?"

Shen Jingshu gently shook her head, her tone indifferent: "No need, it's fine as it is." She never liked wearing makeup, and she was already satisfied with her fresh and comfortable appearance.

After saying that, he swiped his card to pay and slowly walked out of the hair salon carrying his shopping bag.

As soon as she stepped into the mall corridor, she became the center of attention.

Her bright red coat was eye-catching, her curly hair fluttered in the wind, and her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground. She stood tall and straight, with a cool and dazzling temperament. Wherever she went, passersby were attracted and stopped to look.

Many young couples passed by, and the boys couldn't help but turn back frequently, staring at her back, unable to tear their eyes away. This made their girlfriends jealous, and one of them angrily grabbed her boyfriend, stomping her foot and scolding, "Look, look, what are you looking at! You already have a girlfriend, no matter how pretty she is, she's not yours!"

Shen Jingshu remained completely unconcerned about the stares and comments around her, her mind at ease and unaffected.

She took out her phone, ready to call the driver to ask for her location and ask him to come pick her up, but as soon as she reached the escalator entrance, she bumped into several people she least wanted to see.

It was Shen's three older brothers, and Shen Xinyi.

At first, the three brothers, Shen Yifan, Shen Yifei, and Shen Yichen, were surrounding Shen Xinyi, chatting and laughing in hushed tones, and focused on helping her choose items. They didn't notice Shen Jingshu on the escalator at all.

Shen Xinyi, with her sharp eyes, spotted the dazzling figure instantly. Her heart tightened, and she quickly tugged at her older brother Shen Yifan's arm, her voice deliberately softened, tinged with feigned surprise: "Brothers, look! Isn't that sister?"

Today, the three Shen brothers specially canceled all their business to accompany Shen Xinyi shopping.

In their hearts, Shen Xinyi's decision to give up the wealth and glory of the Li family and insist on staying in the Shen family to accompany them was truly sensible and considerate, which made them feel guilty. So they thought of taking her to the mall to go on a shopping spree and buy her all the clothes she liked to make up for it.

The group had only been shopping for a short while and were still discussing the clothes Shen Xinyi had tried on, their eyes and minds completely focused on their little sister. When Shen Xinyi reminded them, they all looked in the direction she was pointing and their gazes fell on Shen Jingshu on the escalator. They were all stunned and their faces were full of astonishment.

Is this dazzling person in front of me really Shen Jingshu?

They almost thought they were seeing things.

In my memory, Shen Jingshu always wore the old clothes discarded by Shen Xinyi, had stiff straight hair, was taciturn and timid, had no presence at home, was like a transparent person, timid and inconspicuous.

But the Shen Jingshu in front of me was dressed in a well-tailored designer outfit, with elegant and sophisticated curls. Her eyes and brows were full of confidence, brightness and flamboyance, and she had a powerful aura. She looked exactly like a pampered heiress.

Her facial features were still the same, and her face shape had not changed, but her temperament and expression were completely different from before.

Shen Xinyi stared intently at Shen Jingshu, her shock quickly turning into intense jealousy and resentment. She couldn't understand how Shen Jingshu could be completely transformed in just one day, no longer the sister she could manipulate at will and who had no luster.

In an instant, intense jealousy surged in Shen Xinyi's eyes, and she cursed inwardly: This bitch, all of this should have belonged to her!

But then she thought, the Li family won't last long and will go bankrupt sooner or later. When that happens, Shen Jingshu will fall from grace and never be able to be proud again.

Thinking this way, she felt a little better, but she still couldn't suppress her jealousy and resentment. She immediately put on a sweet and gentle smile and waved to Shen Jingshu: "Sister! Sister, you're shopping too!"

Standing on the escalator, Shen Jingshu looked down and could already see the four siblings below.

She didn't want to pay attention and pretended not to see it, but Shen Xinyi deliberately called her loudly, and her three brothers all looked over. She had no choice but to stop and wait for the escalator to reach the bottom before walking up to greet them indifferently: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, little sister."

"Sister, it really is you!"

Shen Xinyi immediately stepped forward, feigning amazement as she circled around her, her tone exaggerated, "You've changed so much in just one day! You really are different now that you've gone to the Li family."

Her gaze fell on the shopping bag in Shen Jingshu's hand, and she deliberately exclaimed, "Wow, this is a bag from L! Is the one you're wearing their newest model? Sister, you're so extravagant these days. This one costs tens of thousands, which is equivalent to half a year's expenses for an average family."

Having said that, she feigned concern, her brows furrowing slightly. Her tone was soft, yet every word was barbed: "Sister, I know you're doing well now that you've married into the Li family with Mom, but you don't need to be so high-profile. After all, Mom is remarrying, and the Li family has several young masters. If you dress so conspicuously, people might misunderstand and say you're trying to seduce one of the Li family's young masters, that wouldn't be good..."

These words, ostensibly out of concern, were actually a veiled accusation against Shen Jingshu for her nouveau riche behavior, her flamboyant attire, and even an accusation that she had impure intentions and wanted to curry favor with the young master of the Li family.

Shen Jingshu laughed as soon as she heard that.

Why didn't she see through this younger sister's veiled and insidious tricks in her previous life?

Now that she has been reborn and has witnessed the wickedness of people's hearts through her master's guidance, Shen Xinyi's little tricks are simply childish and laughable in her eyes.

She was too lazy to argue and just watched quietly.

The three Shen brothers, who were already somewhat uncomfortable with Shen Jingshu's sudden transformation, immediately showed obvious dissatisfaction after being provoked by Shen Xinyi.

The eldest brother, Shen Yifan, immediately put on a stern face and reprimanded her as the eldest brother: "Shen Jingshu, how did you become so extravagant and vain? This is not good. Besides, you were able to go to the Li family because Xinyi gave it to you. It's one thing if you're not grateful to her, but now you're squandering the good life that should belong to Xinyi. What kind of behavior is this? Everything you have now should have originally belonged to Xinyi."
