Shen Qianshu laughed.
Shen Lin, your name and reputation are already ruined. You have already fallen.
How many people can you deceive with your botched attempt of using ‘sending the wrong works for the competition’ as an excuse?
In the afternoon, Gu Xie sent Lin Xiaojuan to Rose Castle. Gu Xie had initially wanted to leave upon dropping Lin Xiaojuan off at Rose Castle, but Zhong Ran approached him smilingly and said, “Sixth Master, our Master invites you for a meal.”
“Sure.”
Lin Xiaojuan asked curiously, “You have connections with Ye Ling?”
“Met him a few times.” Gu Xie thought for a while and continued. “I treated him to a meal once.”
“Ahh…”
“Maybe… He wants to treat me to a meal in return.”
Lin Xiaojuan was speechless.
Tong Hua waved at them from upstairs when he saw them. “Aunt Xiaojuan, Uncle! Belated Merry Christmas!”
Lin Xiaojuan looked up and waved. “Show me your princess room later!”
“Hmph!” Tong Hua turned around and ran downstairs.
Lin Xiaojuan laughed, and she entered the hall with Gu Xie. Then, Ye Ling and Gu Xie went to the study room, leaving the two ladies in the hall. Being a busybody, Shen Qianshu asked, “Why was Gu Xie the one who sent you here? How are things going between you two now?”
“Coincidental. He happened to be having a meeting for his movie contract nearby, so he sent me here along the way.”
“So coincidental…”
“Why did Ye Ling look for Gu Xie?”
“How would I know? Yesterday, he found out that I’m Old Qian. He extorted a confession from me with cruel punishment.”
“Ohh…? What cruel punishment and confession? Where? Here… or on the bed…?”
“Damn, you’re so dirty! Tsk tsk… How would a woman like you who gets dirty jokes so quickly actually have the will to remain pure and insist on abstinence until marriage!”
“You will never reach my level spiritually.”
“I don’t want to reach that kind of level. It’s good to take action early with beauties.”
“So, let me ask you, have you taken action?”
Shen Qianshu said, “I guess?”
“Do you think I’m unaware that you are a p*ssy? What action? So what if he made a move on you? How was it? How are you feeling?”
“Hey hey hey… Do y’all realize I’m here?” Tong Hua tried to make his presence known as he could not bear it any longer.
“I see you, I see you. Princess Tong Hua, show us your princess room.”
“…” Tong Hua stared at the two of them blankly.
I shouldn’t have said anything.
Lin Xiaojuan really went to have a look into Tong Hua’s princess room, and she broke into hysterical laughter. Tong Hua was so angry that he went to the butterfly orchids area in the garden to take selfies. Meanwhile, Lin Xiaojuan poked Qianshu. “Qianshu, what’s with you and Ye Ling? When did you start living together?”
“He never asked me to leave, so I’ll just continue staying here. There are four chefs here to cook all sorts of delicious food for me. Awesome.”
“Don’t you have some moral principles?”
“What’s that? Non-existent.”
“Then how can you live with him when you aren’t related in any way?”
“Doesn’t matter.”
Lin Xiaojuan’s face froze. “He doesn’t want to get married?”
Shen Qianshu thought for a while. “I think he can’t.”
“Why?”
“The Ye Family is very complicated. Don’t worry, do you think I’d lose out?”
“Sorry, I’m afraid that Ye Ling would lose out.”
“What kind of friend are you? You’re Ye Ling’s spy, aren’t you?”
The two of them joked around, and Shen Qianshu took a pillow over. “Xiaojuan, I’m gonna go with the flow. There are some things that are meant to be taken slowly. Can’t be rushed.”
“As long as you know what you’re doing,” Lin Xiaojuan said. “Tonight, I’m going with you to the jewelry court. Shen Lin the b*tch is really good at pushing blame onto other people. I bet she would never have thought that you were Sara. That’d be equivalent to a tight slap on her silly face. When she joined us in school back then, I had already told you that she was not a nice person. Yet, you insisted on defending her. Now look at how she’s been treating you these years.”
