Chapter 33
Shen Qingyue sneered, “Didn’t you always think that my Shen family was suppressing your brother with power? Let me show you what it really means to oppress someone with power!”
Ling Bing’er gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Wei Jiu’er quickly helped Ling Bing’er up and reproached Shen Qingyue, “Bing’er is still young; she just said a few wrong words. Did you have to make such a big scene, Qingyue?”
“At 23 years old, she’s still considered young, a spoiled child?” Shen Qingyue coldly sneered, “Even if she’s a spoiled child, she has to take responsibility for her words!”
Shen Qingyue pushed the door and went out, only to see Qin Zhen standing by the car across the street, right in her line of sight.
Shen Qingyue naturally noticed him, but she had no intention of talking to him. She simply waved to her colleague and hailed a taxi.
Feeling ignored, a nameless anger surged in Qin Zhen’s heart. He walked over to Shen Qingyue’s side and said, “Shen Qingyue.”
Impatiently turning her head, Shen Qingyue asked, “What do you want now?”
Qin Zhen was stung by her attitude. He did not actually have anything to say; he just wanted her to notice him. With a touch of displeasure in his tone, he asked, “Do you have to speak to me in this tone?”
“You’re really amusing. You’re the one who insisted on coming to bother me!” Shen Qingyue did not even want to maintain a fake smile anymore. “Mr. Qin, don’t tell me you think we can still be friends even though we’re divorced? Do we have to exchange pleasantries when we meet? Well, let me make it clear now, it’s not possible! I consider my ex-boyfriends and ex-husbands dead. Please don’t come back from the dead occasionally!”
While Shen Qingyue was talking to Qin Zhen, her colleague had already flagged down a taxi. Seeing this, Shen Qingyue got into the car with her colleague, pretending that Qin Zhen did not exist.
…
On Saturday, Shen Qingyue went to the gym as usual.
In the changing room, a few young women were chatting while changing their clothes, mentioning that a handsome new trainee had come to the gym…
Shen Qingyue did not pay much attention, but then she realized that they were talking about Chi Ming!
The man being discussed approached her and said, “Little Yue, what a coincidence.”
Shen Qingyue gave him a glance, “Coincidence or not, you should know in your heart.”
Chi Ming shamelessly said, “Hehe, I did come to see you. You didn’t message me all day yesterday.”
“Why are you so clingy? You’ve been away for so long, don’t you need to spend time with your parents? Chi Yan must be exhausted!” Shen Qingyue felt a bit helpless. Chi Ming used to be quite aloof.
Shen Qingyue did not know that Chi Ming had been aloof in the past because he thought she liked Qin Zhen and preferred someone who was cold and indifferent. But when he realized that she only liked Qin Zhen, why pretend? It was time to be honest.
Chi Ming blinked with a hint of grievance, “Why don’t you say that I missed you? How can you call that clingy?”
Shen Qingyue did not want to argue with him, so she quickly went to train. The fact that she could throw Ling Bing’er out that day was also the result of her training; otherwise, she might have been at a disadvantage.
After finishing the training, Chen Ying came to pick up Shen Qingyue for lunch and saw Chi Ming talking and laughing with her.
“Are you really in a relationship with him?” Chen Ying asked with regret.
Shen Qingyue sighed, “Where did you hear that from?”
Chen Ying did not care about the family affairs and naturally did not attend any business banquets. She sounded disappointed, “He was so angry for you at the banquet the other night, and with so many people there, it spread. Sun Tian hasn’t shown up these past few days…”
Shen Qingyue felt quite helpless, “I’m just here for no reason.”
“Hey, Sis! We can all see how Chi Ming treats you. Don’t use him and then discard him like Qin Zhen, that scumbag. Can Qin Zhen compare to even one finger of Chi Ming? If you really don’t like him, don’t string him along and give him to me! I’ll give this handsome man a home!” Chen Ying said bravely and resolutely.
Shen Qingyue poked her forehead, “Shut up. Having so many handsome men, you’ll have a downfall sooner or later! I’m going to change my clothes.”
Chen Ying rubbed her face and then her forehead with her hand, muttering under her breath, “Clearly can’t let go, but still pretending to be indifferent.”
After the group finished exercising, Chi Ming acted as a private driver and drove Shen Qingyue home. He looked at Shen Qingyue’s figure, his gaze obsessive. At that moment, his phone rang; it was Fu Daoyu.
[Chi Yan said you’ve been trying to pursue his sister-in-law lately. How’s it going?]
Chi Ming paused for a moment before replying: [Progress is too slow… Tell me, if I were to lock her up and do this and that to her, would she resent me?]
She did not acknowledge him and did not want to have anything to do with him. Was she still unable to let go of Qin Zhen? He was afraid that if he continued to go with the flow, she would run away just like back then!
Fu Daoyu replied: [Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but our country has a complete set of laws! Shall I buy you a copy of the ‘Compendium of Criminal Law’?]
Chi Ming replied, [Forget it, let’s take it slowly.]
