Chapter 42: Shen Qingyue Can’t Stay Anymore
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Despite the dim lighting in this place, Ling Bing’er was still captivated by this man’s smile… But in the next second, she saw Chi Ming lift his leg and kick Ling Bing’er directly into the artificial lake.
Shen Qingxue was pulled by Ling Bing’er and, due to inertia, also fell in.
The water in this artificial lake was not deep enough to drown anyone, but it was neglected and dirty due to its secluded location. Both of them choked on a few mouthfuls of water, their heads covered in a greenish color…
Chi Ming paid no further attention to them and turned around to go find Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue vaguely heard the commotion over there and saw Chi Ming approaching. She asked, “Why are people shouting on the path you came from? What’s going on?”
Chi Ming smiled innocently, “You misheard, they were just arguing. Don’t worry about it.”
Shen Qingyue did not think much of it. “Oh, then let’s go back and have skewers…”
When Shen Qingxue and Ling Bing’er finally crawled out of the lake, they were a mess. They looked like a few beggars short of what they had planned for Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingxue was taken away by the Shen family, her face looking unpleasant. Ling Bing’er was taken by Qin Zhen to Wei Jiu’er’s place, which was closer to the school.
Qin Zhen watched Ling Bing’er, who was crying, enter the bathroom and then took his leave, saying, “I’ve already talked to Bing’er’s parents. She’ll be in your care tonight. I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
Wei Jiu’er obediently nodded, reassuring Qin Zhen. But after he left, her face immediately turned gloomy. Thinking back to what happened by the lake tonight, she felt her heart pounding. If she had been even a little late, that incident would have been unavoidable…
She used her status as a lifesaver to get close to Qin Zhen and bind his heart tightly to her! But Qin Zhen was a man with a strong sense of male chauvinism, extremely proud, and he detested deception and betrayal the most. In other words, he could do wrong to others, but others could not wrong him! Once an unscrupulous man like him made up his mind, she would have nothing.
In the past, Qin Zhen trusted her completely. Even if Shen Qingyue told him the truth, she did not have to worry about Qin Zhen believing her. Qin Zhen would even think that Shen Qingyue was cunning and deceitful, intentionally deceiving him. But now, Qin Zhen’s trust in her was not as strong as before. If Shen Qingyue were to reveal the truth, Qin Zhen would definitely investigate what happened back then!
Shen Qingyue, this time bomb cannot be ignored… Shen Qingyue, don’t blame me. Heaven and earth will perish if people don’t act for themselves!
“Sister-in-law, where do I put the dirty clothes?” Ling Bing’er finished bathing and came out of the bathroom, her emotions already under control. Tonight was all because of Shen Qingyue, and she would not let that wretch off the hook!
Wei Jiu’er collected her thoughts and put on a smile, saying, “Just behind the door.”
She picked up a hairdryer and considerately said, “How did you and Shen
Qingxue end up falling into the water together? What happened?”
With an unpleasant expression, Ling Bing’er said, “It’s all because of Shen Qingyue! I had planned to play a little prank on her and hadn’t even gone to find her yet, but then an unknown man came out of nowhere and kicked us into the water without a word! Don’t let me see him again, or I won’t let him off the hook!”
“An unknown man?” Wei Jiu’er thought of something, opened her phone’s photo album, and took out a picture of Shen Qingyue sitting together with Chi Ming tonight. “Is it this man?”
“Let me see… Yes, that’s him!” Ling Bing’er was both excited and angry, carefully looking at the photo for a long time before raising her voice, “Who is he? Sister-in-law, do you know him?”
Wei Ju’er’s gaze slightly changed, and she said, “Well… He’s currently Shen Qingyue’s lover.”
“Shen Qingyue’s lover? No wonder he dared to treat us like that! A pair of wretched people!” Ling Bing’er said angrily.
Wei Jiu’er let out a sigh, “Qingyue, really, she was the one who asked for the divorce, and now she’s up to something again? Intentionally snatching Zhen’s project and then causing trouble for you…”
She realized she had said something she should not have and quickly covered her mouth, looking flustered.
Ling Bing’er immediately pressed for answers, “Sister-in-law, what project are you talking about?”
The Ling family relied on the Qin family for survival, and almost everything was tied to the Qin Corporation. If the Qin Corporation was affected, she would be even more anxious.
Hearing this, Wei Jiu’er’s lips curved slightly. Indeed, Ling Bing’er was a useful tool, just as effective as ever.
Shen Qingyue returned home, finished bathing, and was about to apply a facial mask and lie down when Chen Ying sent her a message.
[Qingyue, are you free tomorrow night? Accompany me on a blind date, I can’t stand my mother nagging anymore..]
