Shen Qingyue interrupted him, “What kind of person is Chi Ming? I know better than you! If we’re talking about family business, is your Qin family’s behavior praiseworthy? Aren’t you afraid of choking on your words? And as for your so-called well-intentioned reminder, it’s laughable. You, who had an affair within the marriage, are now talking to me about kindness? Are you worthy?”
If Qin Zhen had even a trace of consideration for her, how could he have caused the Shen family to lose everything? He slept with Wei Jiu’er while still married to her, and let Wei Jiu’er bear his child. He flaunted it in front of her, his legal wife…
Thinking of everything that happened in the previous life, Shen Qingyue closed her eyes heavily, forcing herself not to think anymore! Because every time she thought about it, she felt nothing but hatred. The pain and suffering Qin Zhen brought to her were the only memories she had. She had been blind. Even if this man were to die in front of her now, she could not forgive him. She did not want to fall back into the pain of the past; she wanted to live her life anew!
Qin Zhen gritted his teeth fiercely, veins popping on his forehead in anger. “Are you still audacious enough to say these things to me? Haven’t you done anything to betray me? Between us, who betrayed whom first? Do you have any qualifications to accuse me? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what happened five years ago! I’m telling you, I’ll never forget it in my entire life!”
Shen Qingyue looked back at him again, growing increasingly impatient. “What happened five years ago? Are you out of things to say now? Are you starting trouble?”
Qin Zhen sneered, “Do you still have the audacity to play dumb? Five years ago, you left me…”
“Zhen!” Wei Jiu’er suddenly appeared, interrupting their conversation. “We should go back, but I can’t find Bing’er. Her phone is also unreachable. Could something have happened to her?”
Qin Zhen glanced at Shen Qingyue again, without saying a word, and left with Wei Jiu’er.
However, they did not notice that Ling Bing’er, whom they were searching for, was watching them not far away.
Shen Qingxue was almost driven mad with anger tonight, losing all face. Several elders from the Shen family had been summoned by the principal to discuss the bribery of teachers. If not handled properly, everyone in the school would know about it tomorrow. But things had not improved at all. Today’s party had already become widely known.
Ling Bing’er followed Shen Qingxue to the lakeside to relax and also to wait for Shen Qingxue’s family, hoping to find another way to deal with this matter. Unexpectedly, she saw Shen Qingyue here!
Ling Bing’er and Shen Qingyue already had old grievances, and she sneered, “Shen Qingyue is really attracting attention now. Do you really want to see her continue to be so proud? Both of you are Shen family’s young ladies, but at this moment, she’s not as ‘famous’ as you!”
Shen Qingxue’s expression grew even uglier. “Just say what you want to say quickly. No need to babble.”
“You go and push her into the water. Even though the weather is nice today,
that artificial lake isn’t clean; it’s covered in algae… When she falls in, what kind of image will she have left? I’ll record a video and upload it online for everyone to see her beauty!” Ling Bing’er looked at Shen Qingxue with a smile. After all, she wouldn’t be involved in the matter in the end. If anyone was to blame, it would be Shen Qingyue herself, and even her own sister wouldn’t help her.
Shen Qingxue’s eyes lit up, immediately agreeing, “That’s not enough! I remember there are a few homeless people on West Street. Go find them, and when the time comes, let them save her…”
Just as they were getting more and more excited about their plan, about to witness the destruction of Shen Qingyue’s reputation… Chi Ming stepped forward, blocking their way.
“Misses, appearances reflect the heart. Having such a malicious heart is truly ugly!” The lamplight illuminated half of his face in the dimness, making it difficult to discern his emotions.
Shen Qingyue was startled by the sudden appearance of the person, especially since he discovered what she was planning to do. Her instinct was to run away. After all, the school was so big, who could find her?
But she did not expect Ling Bing’er to grab hold of her. Ling Bing’er gave her a reassuring look, then turned to look at Chi Ming, a look of insolence on her face. “Who do you think you are? Do you live by the seaside? Why do you interfere so much? I warn you, mind your own business, or else we’ll shout harassment! This is a school, we are students here. What good do you think you can achieve?”
They were in a relatively secluded area, with few people nearby and blind spots in the surveillance cameras. If Ling Bing’er really caused a scene, Chi Ming could not be sure how it would turn out. In the end, he would be the one causing trouble.
Seeing Chi Ming remain silent, Ling Bing’er thought she had successfully intimidated him.. But she did not expect him to suddenly smile!
