During a previous banquet, Zheng Rourou heard Ji Xinxin sourly mention Shi Che, so she assumed Ji Xinxin was also one of Shi Che’s past flings, and that she had won over Ji Xinxin. How could she not feel proud! Moreover, she hadn’t been by Shi Che’s side for very long, but now she was certain things would last for a long time.
After speaking, Zheng Rourou looked Ling Chuxia up and down with disdain.
Ling Chuxia saw her arrogant demeanor, thinking she was the only one in the world who mattered, and anyone who didn’t know better would think she was Shi Che’s wife. How could a mere outsider be so smug?
Ling Chuxia took a deep breath, her tone still calm. She looked at her and slowly began, "Oh, I think you’re mistaken, I didn’t just meet Shi Che recently."
Ling Chuxia calling Shi Che by his name made Zheng Rourou clench her teeth in anger. She dared to address President Shi so intimately? She had indeed miscalculated; she should have called him by his name from the start!
But what shocked Zheng Rourou the most was Ling Chuxia’s response. Ling Chuxia didn’t just meet Shi Che? She squinted her eyes and stared coldly, "Heh, even if you didn’t meet him just now, it’s been at most a month or two. You’re feeling proud over a month or two? Little girl, you’re still too young!"
Ling Chuxia lowered her eyes as if thinking about something, then looked up, answering very seriously, "Oh, I think you’re still mistaken. I haven’t known Shi Che for just a month or two. Strictly speaking, we’ve known each other for eighteen years."
Zheng Rourou’s face, which had been full of disdain, froze upon hearing this "eighteen years," and her eyes widened, "Eighteen years?"
Ling Chuxia nodded earnestly.
Zheng Rourou burst into laughter immediately, "Hahaha, are you dreaming? Eighteen years? Why don’t you say you knew President Shi while you were still in the womb? Lies need to be realistic, okay? You women nowadays, willing to go to any lengths to climb up, isn’t it disgusting?"
Ling Chuxia had drunk too much soup earlier and now really needed to go. She had no time for this nonsense, especially as Zheng Rourou kept blocking the bathroom door, persistently bothering her. Ling Chuxia was also getting a bit angry; she furrowed her brow and retorted directly, "Are you talking about yourself?"
"Didn’t you just say, ’you women, going to any lengths to climb up, very disgusting’?"
Zheng Rourou’s eyes rounded and her voice rose sharply, "I was talking about you!"
Ling Chuxia suddenly laughed, and Zheng Rourou stared coldly, "What are you laughing at?"
With a slight grin, Ling Chuxia looked at Zheng Rourou interestingly, her head tilted slightly, speaking softly, "Do you have the status to say that to me?"
Zheng Rourou, full of pride, lifted her head high, "I am President Shi’s most beloved woman!"
Ling Chuxia burst out laughing, "I really can’t see that you are Shi Che’s most beloved woman."
Ling Chuxia’s laughter was so straightforward that it reminded Zheng Rourou of that moment earlier. Her cheeks flushed red, and she became furiously embarrassed, "Anyway, no matter my status, I’m definitely better than you. I advise you to leave President Shi voluntarily, otherwise, it’ll be too embarrassing for you when the time comes!"
"Oh, is that so?" Ling Chuxia nodded, then said, "If your status can make me leave Shi Che, then my status should probably be enough to tell you to get lost, right?"
"What did you say?" Zheng Rourou’s voice was nearly shrill, evidently not expecting Ling Chuxia to be even more arrogant than her.
