Wei Jiuâer smiled gracefully and reached out to pull Ling Bingâer gently. âItâs just a necklace, not worth getting so angry over. Letâs look at something else.â
âMiss Wei always knows how to speakâ¦â Shen Qingyue gazed at Wei Jiuâer with a sly smile. âYou waited until the argument was over before speaking. Were you intentionally waiting to see Ling Bingâer become your dog, ready to bite on your behalf? Youâre such good sisters. Your reputation is all thanks to you, and Ling Bingâer takes the blame for your arrogance.â
Wei Jiuâerâs fake smile stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. âI just didnât have a chance to speak earlier. Donât make baseless accusations.â Shen Qingyue laughed but did not respond to her words.
However, the meaning behind her laughter was clear to everyone present. Of course, those who had already fallen for Wei Jiuâerâs manipulation couldnât comprehend it. Even if they managed to grasp some hint, Wei Jiuâer would immediately comfort them. In this regard, it was unclear whether Ling Bingâer was foolish or Wei Jiuâer was just too cunning.
The shop assistant interjected at the right moment, âMiss Shen, would you like us to wrap the necklace for you?â
âYes.â
âAlright.â
Chen Ying had taken out her credit card to pay, but Shen Qingyue preempted her. âIâll handle it myself.â She hadnât initially planned on buying it, but nowâ¦
Chen Ying hadnât returned home in a long time and was a bit short on funds, so she didnât argue. âIâm just putting on a show. I didnât actually plan to pay.
Luckily, youâve got good taste. Heheâ¦â
They exchanged a few playful remarks and then prepared to leave with the necklace.
âQingyue,â Wei Jiuâer approached again, her smile innocent. âYouâll come to
Zhenâs wedding, wonât you?â
Chen Ying cursed directly, âYou damnâ¦â
Shen Qingyue stopped her and smiled gently at Wei Jiuâer. âWhy wouldnât I go? Everyone already knows youâre the third party whoâs risen to the top. My presence will certainly liven up the atmosphere. Weddings should be lively, donât you think?â
Wei Jiuâer clenched her fist secretly. âQingyue, why do you always talk about third parties like this? Zhen and I are deeply in love. If it werenât for your interference, we would have been married long agoâ¦â
Shen Qingyue struck at the heart of the matter. âYou have quite the nerve to say that! If he truly liked you, would he have kept your relationship a secret? When I was with him, everyone knew he claimed to be single. By not making your relationship public, heâs telling you that while he may have feelings for you, other things are more important to him. A year ago, he was willing to give you up for the sake of his familyâs interests, and he can do the same in the future. If anything happens, youâll be the one abandoned. I really donât know what you have to be proud of. By the wayâ¦â She hadnât intended to bring up that nightâs events, but now it seemed fitting. âFive days ago, Qin Zhen came to see me.â
Wei Jiuâerâs face drained of color because that night happened to be the one Qin Zhen had promised to marry her. She spoke reluctantly, âWhat did he want from you?â
âWho knowsâ¦â Shen Qingyue replied casually. âLet me tell you, Qin Zhen is a man with many desires, and you can only occupy a portion of his heart. If youâre willing to jump into the fire pit, I wonât stop you. I wish you happiness, respect, and locked fates.â With that, she turned and walked away with Chen Ying.
Ling Bingâer hurriedly said, âDonât listen to Shen Qingyueâs nonsense, my brother has only ever liked you. Sheâs lying about my brother coming to see her a few days ago, itâs definitely to upset you. Donât fall for it!â
Wei Jiuâer nodded absentmindedly, but deep down, she knew that Shen
Qingyue would not lie to her. Qin Zhen had never mentioned their wedding plans before, but that night, when he returned from outside, he suddenly changed his mind. It must have been something Shen Qingyue had done to anger him again. Qin Zhen had acted impulsively and agreed to the wedding.
The fact that Qin Zhen was angry because of Shen Qingyue showed that he cared. Last time, the night before he agreed to the engagement, he had stayed outside Shen Qingyueâs house all night⦠She bit her lip fiercely, determined not to let go. Even if Qin Zhen had someone else in his heart in the future, what she wanted was always the position of Qin familyâs young mistress. She did not want to be an illegitimate daughter hidden from the world. Even if Qin Zhen were to have an affair in the future, she would help him conceal it, and she would never let go!
The two of them selected their jewelry and left the mall.
Ling Bingâer drove the car, and she noticed Shen Oingyue and Chen Ying in the square. A sinister gleam flashed in her eyes. She said, âJuâer, with how Shen Qingyue treats you, do you want to take revenge?â
Wei Jiuâer also noticed Shen Qingyue and Chen Ying in the center of the square and knew that Ling Bingâer was about to cause trouble again. She offered a perfunctory piece of advice, âLet it go. Qingyue is just feeling upsetâ¦
As Shen Qingyue had said, Ling Bingâer was nothing more than her lapdog. Just a few words from her, and she was eager to help vent her frustrations. In the end, if something went wrong, the blame wouldnât fall on her.. Why not take advantage of it?
