Shen Qingyue could hardly fathom the extent of benefits Chu’s family must have promised Chi Ming to secure the dress ahead of time. Chi Ming, however, simply replied with a casual “Hmm” and urged her to try it on.
As Shen Qingyue was about to inquire further, the sharp voice of Ling Bing’er interjected, “How much did you spend to buy it? We’ll pay double!”
Both Chi Ming and Shen Qingyue paid no heed to the ‘crazy woman’ beside them. But Shen Qingyue was somewhat curious, “How much did you spend?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChi Ming answered, “Didn’t spend.”
Shen Qingyue was skeptical, “With the Chu family’s stingy nature, how could they not take your money? Did you promise them something?”
Chi Ming looked at her and nodded, “It’s nothing much, just a project investment promised to Chu’s family.”
Shen Qingyue knew the Chi family was wealthy, but that was not just Chi Ming’s money. The Chi family company was now managed by Chi Ming’s younger brother, while Chi Ming gallivanted outside. She couldn’t accept such a heavy gift. “You can take the dress back; I can’t accept it.”
Chi Ming fell silent.
Shen Qingyue discerned his thoughts, “Don’t send it directly to my home either, I’m serious.” When she said she liked it, her intention was to make Qin Zhen and his friends bleed money. But now, it seemed Chi Ming was the one spending money.
However, Chi Ming smiled. He could now read her intentions directly. “Alright, I’ll tell Chu Nan not to go ahead with it.” He understood that Shen Qingyue wanted the dress to annoy Qin Zhen, but now that the air had cleared, it did not matter who ended up with the dress.
Ling Bing’er, being ignored, was infuriated to the point of dizziness, “Shen Qingyue, you wicked woman, I really underestimated you. You found someone so wealthy in the blink of an eye. No wonder you had the confidence to argue with us earlier. Come on, spill the beans, how much does it cost to spend a night with this man? Is it lucrative being the wife of the Qin family?”
Smack!
A resounding slap landed on Ling Bing’er’s face. The force was strong, and her face quickly swelled. But this slap was not from Shen Oingyue, nor was it from Chi Ming; it was Oin Zhen.
Ling Bing’er could not believe it. “Big Brother, did you hit me? You’ve never hit me before. Did I say something wrong?”
Veins bulged on Qin Zhen’s forehead out of anger. “Shut up! If it doesn’t hurt, I’ll hit you again! Do you even know what it means to be embarrassed? How did the Ling family raise a pampered young lady like you? I was already irritated, and yet you, like you can’t read the situation, kept causing trouble. How could I stand it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was the first time Ling Bing’er had seen Qin Zhen like this, and she was so scared that she did not dare to speak.
Wei Jiu’er began to play peacemaker. “Zhen, Bing’er was just thoughtless with her words. You know her temperament. She’s still young. If you have something to say, say it slowly. You shouldn’t resort to violence…”
Qin Zhen’s face remained dark, and he did not reply.
Shen Qingyue watched this melodrama unfold with a mocking expression on her face. Qin Zhen truly surprised her; he had even started hitting people now. But the farce was over, and she did not linger any longer. When she was leaving, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Wei Jiu’er and Ling Bing’er. “I won’t compete with you for the auction of the ‘Rose’ later. I’ve realized that this dress seems more suitable for Miss Wei. I’m really looking forward to seeing how you’ll look in it.”
Wei Jiu’er gritted her teeth. How could she want something Shen Qingyue didn’t? Shen Qingyue was taunting her by taking what she didn’t want! But even though she felt deeply humiliated, she had to endure it. Once she was rightfully married to Qin Zhen and had the Qin family, the first thing she would do was deal with Shen Qingyue, that wretched woman. She did not believe Shen Qingyue would continue to have a good life.
As Shen Qingyue and Chi Ming emerged, the fashion show had already been underway for a while.
Chen Ying had saved seats for them, looking excited. “Where did you two go? You didn’t do something unspeakable behind my back, did you? Wait, that’s not right, the timing isn’t right… Did you guys ‘do it’ so quickly?”
Shen Qingyue pushed Chen Ying’s face away with a sigh and reluctantly recounted what had happened backstage.
Chen Ying’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Is Qin Zhen like this now? He’s even hitting his own dogs? Tsk tsk, Ling Bing’er seems like she’s got a problem. She always wants to compete with you in everything. Now, right in front of you, she’s been slapped by her beloved older brother. Who knows what she’s thinking? I didn’t see her just now, maybe she’s feeling ashamed and went home to nurse her wounds? Can’t believe she’s feeling embarrassed now….”
