Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Platinum Ring (4)
Lin Shuyue listened and nodded convincingly.
“So it seems, Zhou Rong wanted to leave a way out for Su Zixi, guessing that I wouldn’t treat Su Zixi well after marrying into the family…” Lin Shuyue’s tone was somewhat self-deprecating and a bit sinister, “Who knew that in the end, this urn would still end up in your hands!”
“Yes, in the end, the urn did end up in my hands.” Su Lianxi laughed as she slid the platinum ring onto her middle finger, “Mom, if I wear this ring in front of the President’s wife, she will definitely be thrilled, won’t she?”
Lin Shuyue hurriedly asked, “What if the President’s wife asks about the origin of the ring? What will you say?”
“Just say, this is what my mother left me before she died.” Su Lianxi curved her lips.
“Lianxi!” Lin Shuyue gasped!
She had already understood Su Lianxi’s plan, but… but it was too risky!
“No, you can’t lie!” Lin Shuyue became restless, “This lie is too big, there’s no way to cover it up, not to mention you’re my daughter, everyone knows that! The moment the President’s wife sends someone to investigate, everything will be exposed!”
“Mom, I can assure you the President’s wife won’t make a big fuss about investigating,” Su Lianxi said with a determined expression. “If this ring is very important to her, she would have sent someone to investigate long ago, but all these years, nobody has come to our house, so I guess, the origin of this ring is a secret to the President’s wife! She absolutely does not want others to know!”
Lin Shuyue listened dumbfounded, eventually being persuaded involuntarily…
“If the ring isn’t important to her, then wearing it doesn’t bring any loss, right?” Su Lianxi giggled, lifting her right hand into the light, “So relax, Mom, nothing will happen. If I’m right, then the President’s wife will be our greatest support!”
With the President’s wife putting pressure, the Ning Family could not easily discard her!
“Lianxi, I still feel it’s risky…” Lin Shuyue stared at the frantic colors on her face, her heart pounding fiercely, she didn’t know why Su Lianxi was so bold, “This is different from what happened with Ning Yichen before, we’re dealing with the President’s wife! If she finds out you deceived her, then… then…”
“Well, the more lies, the less worry!” Su Lianxi gritted her teeth, “If we don’t take this risk, the Ning Family won’t let us off either, the outcome will be the same!”
Regardless, she could no longer tolerate Ning Yichen ignoring her!
Every time Ning Yichen showed such a lovestruck and sorrowful expression in front of Su Zixi, she felt as though her face was thrown to the ground and stepped on, her heart tossed into fire and burned!
If she didn’t do something, she would go mad!
Lin Shuyue thought of Su Guo’an, whose fate was uncertain, and her expression began to waver.
“Lianxi, are you… really certain?” Lin Shuyue asked hesitantly.
“It’s not the first time anyway.” Su Lianxi laughed self-deprecatingly, “Mom, I’ve hated Su Lianxi since I was young, but in the end, everything I wanted came because of her.”
Her and Ning Yichen, her marriage…
All her life, she had been stealing Su Zixi’s things, but why was it that the more she took, the more she lost?
