Towards Lu Mengxi’s provocation, Shen Qianshu had no reaction at all. No matter how devastated I was, no matter how deep into the abyss I fell, why should I display all my emotions in front of you—someone I’m not even close to? My feelings for Ye Ling are also not something you can understand and experience.
For Ye Ling, she barged into Ghost City all by herself and almost lost her life. Did she have to say it in front of everyone?
True love was never about a verbal pledge of love.
The person that loved you deeply was always showing it through actions, not words.
“Are you jealous? Envious? I am a winner in life. I easily gained a huge sum of inheritance.” Shen Qianshu smiled alluringly, hell-bent on angering Lu Mengxi. “Of course he would leave his inheritance to me. Did you think he would leave it to you? Being jealous and envious of me will not do anything. It will never be yours.”
“Shen Qianshu, you’re such a slut!” Lu Mengxi ripped off her image of an elegant and graceful lady, and vulgarities came spilling out of her mouth. “You have indeed harbored ill intentions for Ye Ling since a long time ago. You were really just attracted to his wealth. You don’t love him at all.”
“Lu Mengxi, who are you to comment on our relationship? Who are you to discipline me using your so-called high morals and values? Who are you to Ye Ling? Everything between me and Ye Ling was consensual. You have no right to comment! You’re just an outsider! Do you understand? I can’t believe you even boasted that you’re an elegant young lady! I don’t even dare to learn your manners. You don’t even have the basic respect for someone, much less loving someone. Why do you have an expression as if I have snatched away your lover? What a joke! Ye Ling did not even remember who you were! Your face is just like a clear blank space in his heart. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Lu Mengxi had just planned to do business with Gu Yuanli. She wanted to destroy Gu Yuanli and to seek revenge for Ye Ling. Even if she was unable to kill Gu Yuanli, she also wanted to ruin him. But now, she was standing there and being scolded shamelessly by Shen Qianshu. Ye Ling could not even remember your face. Whatever you do for him is all one-sided!
Wishful thinking!
She was Lu Family’s precious daughter; superior to others since birth. This circle was not short of aristocratic ladies, but she was the most well-respected one. She was used to being superior. Thus, at this moment, she found it really hard to accept.
Was Ye Ling blind?
He could not see her genuineness and sincerity but was attracted to Shen Qianshu instead—someone who only had looks.
“You’re just a flower vase. Who are you to be loved by Ye Ling?” Lu Mengxi replied.
“He’s shallow. He likes a flower vase. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your parents for not giving you a pretty face.” Shen Qianshu knew where her weakest spot was. She was in a bad mood, and Lu Mengxi came to find trouble with her just at the right time.
She was then not polite anymore.
“You…”
“Oh, you feel indignant? Go for plastic surgery then.” Shen Qianshu said and smiled brightly at her. “However, don’t put the doctor in a difficult spot too. It is surgically difficult to become more beautiful than me.”
Lu Mengxi was so angry that she almost spat out blood. She then stormed out of the room.
Shen Qianshu sneered and said, “Young and naive!”
She actually dared to argue with her.
Shen Qianshu gently touched her wound. Her injuries were not fully recovered yet, and it was really still not suitable for her to go to work. After getting angry just now, her wound began to hurt even more. She did not wish to rely too much on medications and thus could only endure the pain. After the last jewel was appraised, her work had also ended.
Just as she knocked off from work, little CEO Li’s loud and flashy car was already parked downstairs. He carried a bouquet of lilies and was smiling sweetly at her.
“Baby Shushu, long time no see.”
