Chapter 840 - Why Suffer

Lu Mengxi smiled and lowered her head slightly. Her beautiful hair fell meekly onto both sides of her face. When she smiled, she was extremely beautiful. No one could tell at all that she was ruthless and that she used wrathful methods.

“You are so smart.”

“There are not many people who are willing to offend the Mu family and Ye Ling by releasing Lu Mengyun. Except for the Black Rose, I cannot think of anyone else,” Shen Qianshu said. “You had a deal with the evil demon. Oh, no, you are an evil demon yourself. You wanted to get someone to do the dirty work and found a perfect excuse. You are a b*tch who alleged that you have maintained your chastity.”

Lu Mengxi was not angry at all. “Right. You are right. I had a deal with the Black Rose. Guess what kind of deal we made?”

“I am not interested,” Shen Qianshu said calmly. “The Black Rose will not kill me. I am not very interested in the deal that you made with her. But if you cannot do it, why not worry about your own life?”

Lu Mengxi said, “Shen Qianshu, you have digressed. Talk about the design.”

Shen Qianshu shrugged. “Then I’ll talk about the design. What kind of concept do you want as the design?”

“Shattered,” Lu Mengxi said. “This is the theme. It’s up to you to develop.”

Lu Mengxi tilted her head and glanced at Lu Mengyun. She was looking out of the window dazedly. She was very low-spirited and dead silent as she had already lost her vitality. Lu Mengxi said, “Shen Qianshu, it’s fated that we cannot be friends. We will be enemies in this lifetime. But for Mengyun, if she realizes her mistakes and is willing to change, can you give her a chance?”

“She is still young. After making mistakes, there is still room for turning back. She did not attempt murder willingly.” Lu Mengxi explained.

Shen Qianshu said calmly, “Realizing her mistakes and changing? How would I know if she has realized her mistakes and is willing to change? Based on what you say? On what basis do you think that I am a saint? Do you think that I will listen to what you have said and forgive someone who once tried to kill me?”

“You... ”

“You brought Lu Mengyun to come and see me because you wanted me to pity her. Then you have engaged in wishful thinking. To put it bluntly, who knows whether both of you sisters are putting on a show?”

“Spend 30 million to put on a show?”

“After all, you have money. To you, 30 million is not considered anything, right? Master Yuan’s agent!”

Lu Mengxi’s face changed dramatically. She held the cup tightly with one hand as she looked at her with a panicky gaze. She had gone through ups and downs and calmed down quickly. “How did you know? Who told you?”

“Guess.” Shen Qianshu calmly held her cup up and blew at the coffee. She smelled the fragrance but did not drink it. She did not smile. “Isn’t this your biggest trump card?”

“Ye Ling told you?”

“You indeed know that Master is not dead,” Shen Qianshu said softly. After she had blown her top, she spilled the beans. “Lu Mengxi, I don’t know all along why you have treated me like an enemy so much. It doesn’t make sense. Based on what the old lady has said, you were going to get engaged with Ye Ling and marry him? You are already 26 years old, and you are still having a young girl’s dream? Do you really think that your beauty is exquisite and that any man will submit himself to you?”

Lu Mengxi said, “Shen Qianshu, I didn’t look for you to get lectured!”

“If you don’t like to listen, you can leave!” Shen Qianshu said. “Your love is unrequited, and you still don’t allow others to talk? Since young, you have gotten whatever you want, and you are used to others worshiping you. You have also become Master Yuan’s agent. I cannot deny that you are very outstanding and also very capable with countless suitors. But if you use that reasoning on Ye Ling, that would be absurd. And because you have pursued him and failed to have him, you became jealous of me. Then that is even more absurd. From the beginning to the end, he doesn’t even remember how you look like. Why do you want to make yourself suffer?”
