Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 704 - 705: On the Verge of Death (1)

Dongfang Xuanya’s movements in changing her clothes slowed down when she heard this and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Even Grandfather himself doesn’t know how much money he has, yet each and every one of them seems to know better than he does.

As Cheng Yan spoke, both Xu Zhan and Wang Lu wore expressions of reverence on their faces.

Cheng Yan continued, "I’m thinking, could Dongfang Xuanya be related to this family?"

"No way, you also said they’re from Wall Street, which is in M Country. Dongfang Kuo has been there for so many years, and since Dongfang speaks Mandarin so well, she probably didn’t come back from M Country."

Dongfang Xuanya was praised for her Mandarin for the first time and felt very pleased with herself.

"I also think Xu Zhan makes sense," Wang Lu’s voice sounded a bit displeased, "Xia Country is so big, and although the surname Dongfang isn’t common, it still exists—it’s not just Dongfang Kuo who bears the name Dongfang."

"It’s true what you say, but those with the surname Dongfang often have a background..."

"Sigh, better to avoid conflict with Dongfang in the future. She got in through connections; we can’t afford to provoke her."

Listening to the three women’s gossip finally coming to an end, Dongfang Xuanya quickened her pace to change her clothes and rushed out a couple of steps ahead of them before they could leave.

The three women who had been gossiping were a bit embarrassed when they saw Dongfang Xuanya.

The words they had just said, she hadn’t heard them, had she?

-

Dongfang Xuanya was feeling quite pleased with herself as she cheerfully headed to the cafeteria and shared the gossip she overheard with Shi Mei.

Who knew Shi Mei would react so blandly, merely saying, "That’s good, they finally know to calm down. Now you can be less bothered."

But that wasn’t the response Dongfang Xuanya wanted to hear, and she replied in a peeved tone, "Can’t you be a little more heartfelt?"

"Huh?" Shi Mei lifted her head and responded again, "Really good."

Dongfang Xuanya: "..."

Angrily, she went to get her meal, completely failing to notice that something was off with Shi Mei.

Shi Mei had just heard that Bai Yuejie seemed to be not doing well.

She had heard this news many times over the week, and each time, it made a different impression.

The longer the time passed, the more urgent the situation seemed, and the more anxiety Shi Mei felt.

Facing the unknown horror, she felt lost.

What means would they use this time?

-

Shi Mei unexpectedly found that the celebrities who came for dance lessons mentioned by the teacher were actually acquaintances.

Ma Jiaojiao was decked out in luxury, not to mention the gold and silver jewelry; even her makeup and clothing seemed to have a layer of gold, as if she was equipped with a built-in filter.

As soon as she came in, she fanned her face with her hand and said, "Why is it so hot here, is there no air conditioning? They expect us to learn dance in this? I’ll die of heat at this rate!"

"Exactly, I’m dying of heat. Can’t someone turn on the air conditioning? Or at least a fan would be fine."

The one speaking was Wan Shi, who got eliminated early during "Behind the Scenes Star." Her looks were average, her singing abilities mediocre, but Shi Mei remembered her.

This woman was incredibly eloquent, often managing to charm everybody in the production team with her words alone.

It could be said that she left a very deep impression.

Shi Mei could roughly imagine the dynamics between her and Ma Jiaojiao—an undeniable match with one liking to be flattered and the other enjoying flattery everywhere she went.

And, as expected, Wan Shi soon dug out a small fan from her bag and passed it to Ma Jiaojiao while saying, "This is too shabby. Our Jiaojiao hates the heat the most. They never said it would be so hot here."
