Naturally, Qin Luoyi didnât know nor would she believe that it was Zhou Qinhe that was pursuing Yan Shuyu. In her mind, the fact that a woman from a background such as Yan Shuyuâs was only able to successfully hook Boss Zhou meant that, in addition to her look, she must also be very manipulative. She must have done a lot of research to be able to use her daughter as a springboard.
Women like that might aim high but nevertheless failed to analyze the situation comprehensively. She probably thought that the biggest hurdle lying between herself and marrying into the Zhouâs was the Boss Zhouâs ideal candidate, Yuxuan, whom he had gone on a date with. And that as long as she could get rid of Yuxuan, she would have nothing else to worry about.
Boss Zhou had never asked her Yuxuan out again since the last date. She figured it must be the handy work of this little wench.
As such, they couldnât just lay down and take it. They must teach Yan Shuyu a lesson that she couldnât just use someone else like that â and that was the real purpose of her visit.
In other words, she was here to stake her claim. She wouldnât show a shred of friendliness and she had, since walking inside the shop, maintained her insufferable and untouchable arrogant stance.
Just as she had thought, Yan Shuyu was, indeed, as manipulative as she had expected. She had given her no reaction at all after everything that she had said. She was shameless and bold. That would explain how she was able to take advantage of Boss Zhou back when she was working at Hotel Dorsett.
Qin Luoyi was now even more worried than she was before. She felt that she had been scorned by Yan Shuyuâs seemingly indifferent words. Suppressing her anger, she made herself seem very righteous as she said to her, âMore or less.â
More or less?
Yan Shuyu was a little baffled. Did the boss have a stepmom himself? She didnât seem to recall reading about that in the book.
The rich woman sitting across from her didnât want to engage with her for much longer. With a very fake smile, she said to her, âLittle girl, itâs nice to have dreams. But let me give you an advice, greed has no end. With your looks, you can probably find a pretty decent husband if you just lower your bar a little. You will then be set for the rest of your life. However, if you insist on staying with Zhou Qinhe, you just might lose both yourself and your chance at money and end up with nothing in the very end.â
âHow do you know I will lose both myself and my chance at money in the very end?â asked Yan Shuyu most sincerely.
Wasnât she the only one who has read the script before?
Qin Luoyiâs face dropped. âDo I need to tell you the status of the Zhouâs? I am sure you have already done your own research. Even in ancient times they were nobles. The Zhouâs have businesses all over the world, and they have invested in just about every field. Many of their enterprises are listed in the worldâs top 500. They can be considered as tycoons. Now letâs look at your status. Do you really think you can become Mrs. Zhou?â
Oh, so thatâs what the rich woman meant. Yan Shuyu finally understood what she was talking about. As much as the rich woman sounded so convincing, she still felt a bit uncertain. âAre you sure that Boss Zhou would never marry me?â
