Li Qian also held a glass of champagne, clinking it against Ling Chuxia’s, and took an elegant sip before smiling and saying, "That’s right, didn’t I ask you to come with Senior Brother Shi? Why don’t I see Senior Brother Shi?"
While speaking, Li Qian pretended to look around and expressed exaggerated concern, "Oh my, where is Senior Brother Shi? Didn’t he come with you?"
This question was unavoidable, but fortunately, Ling Chuxia was well prepared. Her face remained unchanged, and even her smile stayed perfect as she replied in a gentle voice, "Mm, he’s been busy recently, so he didn’t come and sent me as his representative."
Before she could finish, Li Qian scoffed sharply, not mincing her words, "Busy, huh? Or is it that he just didn’t want to come with you?"
Ling Chuxia took another sip of champagne, lifting her eyes to look at Li Qian, and slightly smiled. She didn’t answer directly, instead countering, "What about you? Why didn’t your husband come? Is he busy? Or does he not want to come with you?"
Li Qian’s face dramatically changed, and the frostiness in her eyes seemed to transform into sharp blades, flying straight toward Ling Chuxia.
Ling Chuxia curled her lips and slowly met her gaze.
Her message was clear—if Li Qian insisted on tearing into her today, she wouldn’t foolishly let her do it. Worst case, they would both suffer, and neither would have an easy time.
But she was very aware that someone as concerned about face as Li Qian wouldn’t be able to tolerate the mocking glances of others. So, it was unlikely that she would really tear into her in public without regard for appearances.
She was about 80 percent sure of her odds, which was why she wasn’t afraid to face Li Qian alone today.
Ling Chuxia had guessed correctly: Li Qian realized Ling Chuxia’s intent, that should she dare reveal Ling Chuxia’s secrets, Ling Chuxia would reveal hers as well. Li Qian hesitated for a second, knowing that her husband’s scandalous affairs would certainly be far more sensational than anything related to Shi Che.
But Ling Chuxia had underestimated Li Qian’s madness.
Ever since Ling Chuxia got married, Li Qian had been waiting for the day that Ling Chuxia would be humiliated and abandoned. Now that the day had finally come, how could she let it pass?
She would rather lose face than spare Ling Chuxia from embarrassment!
Li Qian suddenly laughed out of rage; her pretty face twisted with reckless madness. She coldly watched Ling Chuxia, raising her voice deliberately, "Whether my husband is busy or doesn’t want to come is my business, Ling Chuxia. But right now, I’m asking about Senior Brother Shi. Everyone admires how close you and Senior Brother Shi are, still lovey-dovey after three years of marriage. It’s the talk of our circle. You have to put on a show today, right? I think no matter how busy Senior Brother Shi is, he would come if you just gave him a call."
Ling Chuxia never expected that Li Qian would actually dare to make a scene, and was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Ling Chuxia’s dazed expression, Li Qian’s tone became even sharper, "What’s the matter? Don’t dare to call him?"
Naturally, Ling Chuxia wouldn’t admit that she didn’t dare to call; she reflexively shook her head.
"Then make the call. We all miss Senior Brother Shi. Here, I’ll lend you my phone. Go ahead!"
As Li Qian spoke, she unstoppably thrust the phone into Ling Chuxia’s hand.
