Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 210

Early the next morning, Pei Shuo arrived. He first went into the room to get the things Sheng Nuan had bought yesterday, then drove to the school gate to pick her up, and together they headed to the Pei family home.

The Pei family lived in a large courtyard with red walls, and the security was strict.

Seeing Pei Shuo’s car and his face, the gatekeeper immediately saluted and let them pass. The car drove all the way to the back of the neighborhood and stopped in front of a standalone villa.

Sheng Nuan knew the Pei family was not ordinary, but seeing the vintage, understated yet luxurious villa in front of her and thinking of Pei Shuo bending down to help her dig the ground in Qinghe Village, she couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

The Pei family’s cultivation and education of their descendants truly inherited the spirit of hard work from the older generation…

Knowing that Sheng Nuan was coming, the Pei family members were all present today: Old Master Pei, the husband and wife Pei Yuanming and Lin Zhi, two security guards, and two housekeepers, all clearly placing great importance on Sheng Nuan’s arrival.

Sheng Nuan had prepared gifts for everyone, including the housekeeper and the cooking aunt, as she learned from Pei Shuo that they had worked in the Pei family for many years and were almost like family.

The housekeeper and the aunt were a bit surprised, and they increasingly felt that Pei Shuo was truly discerning.

The meal was cheerful and harmonious. After eating, Pei Yuanming and Lin Zhi left for work, jokingly saying they would leave Old Master Pei to accompany Sheng Nuan.

Old Master Pei wore a gray Tang suit, his hair and beard white, his features imposing but his expression kind. He asked Sheng Nuan and Pei Shuo to sit on the opposite sofa to talk with him.

When he heard that Sheng Nuan was working on a project with Xu Youliang, the old man nodded repeatedly, saying, “Young people should take advantage of their youth to study hard and contribute to the country. That’s the right path…”

Sheng Nuan smiled, “What you say is right.”

By the afternoon, Pei Shuo drove Sheng Nuan back to school.

In the room at the back gate of the school, the two lingered for a while before Pei Shuo had to take her back to the dormitory.

Watching Sheng Nuan enter the dormitory building, Pei Shuo turned and drove straight back to the military base in the suburbs…

Two weeks later, the welcome party arrived.

Yue Qianrou wore a white dress and stood on stage with her violin, looking fresh and elegant.

She enjoyed being the center of attention, then played a piece called ‘The Swan’¹.

When the piece ended, applause and whistles erupted. Yue Qianrou turned and walked off stage with her violin, resembling a proud swan…

The final act was a small choir performance by Sheng Nuan, Zhu Jin, and a few boys.

They sang a well-known foreign song, ‘Auld Lang Syne’², accompanied by a familiar melody, with Sheng Nuan taking the lead…

The choir members wore simple white shirts and trousers, standing there with smiles. Sheng Nuan sang steadily, her voice ethereal, instantly drawing everyone into the atmosphere.

Then it was Zhu Jin’s turn, followed by the other choir members singing together… Eventually, it turned into a grand chorus.

The atmosphere reached a climax, and everyone was smiling…

They are young, in their prime, having come to this prestigious institution, ready to spread their wings and take flight. They are the backbone of the country’s future. Now, gathered together, their friendship will last forever…

Someone rushed up to give flowers to the chorus members, and everyone cheered together. Sheng Nuan and the others became the most eye-catching presence at the party.

Meanwhile, Yue Qianrou stood there with tears in her eyes, biting her lip in silence… At that moment, she felt a deep resentment towards Sheng Nuan.

If it weren’t for Sheng Nuan, she would have been the star of this party!

But now, no one was paying attention to her…

After the welcome party ended, Gao Luo hurriedly came from the laboratory to pick up Yue Qianrou.

Gao Luo was somewhat well-known at Peking University. He came from a good family, was handsome, a top student, and was cool and gentlemanly.

“Sorry, something came up in the group that I couldn’t get away from, so I couldn’t come to see your performance,” Gao Luo said apologetically.

Yue Qianrou shook her head and said nothing.

Gao Luo looked puzzled, “Are you in a bad mood?”

He has been very busy and rarely spends time with Yue Qianrou, but the two of them have always gotten along this way, so Yue Qianrou shouldn’t be upset about it.

The next moment, Yue Qianrou’s eyes turned red. “My roommate has been targeting and isolating me.”

Gao Luo paused, frowning. “Why? Do you have any conflicts?”

Yue Qianrou moved her lips slightly, then pressed them together. “Maybe it’s because at the start of the semester, she wanted to switch lockers with me, and I refused.”

Gao Luo’s brow furrowed. “Which roommate?”

Yue Qianrou replied, “Sheng Nuan…”

Gao Luo was slightly startled, then said, “It’s her?”

Yue Qianrou’s head shot up. “You know her?”

Then she realized that Sheng Nuan had actually entered Gao Luo’s project team… Although, according to Gao Luo, she was mostly handling minor, peripheral tasks, still, she was only a freshman.

Getting into Professor Xu’s project team as a freshman? What would that lead to in the future?

Yue Qianrou was somewhat astonished. “How did she get in? What kind of connections does she have?”

Gao Luo frowned slightly, shaking his head. “I’m not sure, I haven’t paid attention to it.”

Hearing Gao Luo say he hadn’t been paying attention to Sheng Nuan, Yue Qianrou felt relieved and then bit her lip as she said, “She’s been bullying me, can you find a way to get her kicked out of the project team?”

Gao Luo frowned. “What are you thinking?”

Yue Qianrou was just trying. She knew Gao Luo wasn’t one to be swayed by romantic feelings and wouldn’t fall for her tricks… But she still liked his cool demeanor, focused on academics rather than romance.

But even though Gao Luo wouldn’t kick Sheng Nuan out of the project team because of her, she was sure that he didn’t like the kind of girls who cause trouble. As the main person in charge of the project team, Sheng Nuan wouldn’t have it easy there.

Yue Qianrou snorted coldly.

Who told Sheng Nuan to go against her from the very beginning of the semester…

Sheng Nuan was unaware that she was being framed by Yue Qianrou, but even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

Aside from attending classes, she spent almost all her time in the lab and wouldn’t slack off just because her work was minimal.

That day, while she was responsible for summarizing data, she noticed something was off. After checking it twice, she went to find the group leader, Tao Yu.

“Team leader, could you please take a look at these two sets of data? I found some issues after checking them.”

However, as soon as Sheng Nuan finished speaking, Tao Yu didn’t even lift her head. “I remember your task is just to summarize, not to check for errors. Just focus on your own work.”

Ever since Sheng Nuan joined the group, the three boys in the team had been very attentive to her, while Tao Yu, the leader, was quite annoyed, thinking Sheng Nuan had only gotten in through connections and was relying on her looks.

Tao Yu’s attitude was poor. Sheng Nuan glanced at her lightly. “But these two sets of data will affect the subsequent program’s operation…”

Tao Yu interrupted her, “I said this doesn’t concern you. If there’s an issue, it’s my responsibility. Or do you think you’re more experienced than the others in the group and can spot errors that no one else has noticed?”

Seeing that Tao Yu was uncommunicative, Sheng Nuan decided not to argue with her and went straight to find the project leader, Gao Luo.

“Excuse me, Senior Gao, we have issues with these two sets of data in our group. Although they are basic data, they significantly impact the subsequent operations. Could you please take a look? It will only take two minutes of your time.”

Gao Luo looked up and was met with a delicate, fair face and particularly lively eyes.

He paused slightly. “Who are you?”

“I’m Sheng Nuan from Group Three…”

Sheng Nuan.

Gao Luo’s expression immediately cooled, and he said flatly, “Go report this to your group leader. I don’t have time to deal with every little problem from each of you.”

After saying that, Gao Luo lowered his head to busy himself.

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow and then turned to leave…

Since they didn’t mind wasting time on useless work, why should she persist?

Twenty minutes later, someone exclaimed, “Run-time error? Everyone stop and see what went wrong…”
