“Yeah. She said she would get it one of these days, but never came.”
She probably never would. Su Qingsang wore a delicate face, obviously thinking about something.
“What is it?”
Shi Mengwan finished the last stitch and the process was finally completed. She looked at the dress and thought it was perfect.
She washed her hands and came out of the bathroom, only to find that Su Qingsang was still in a daze. “What happened to you? You don’t look well,” she said.
“I was thinking, that this wedding dress will probably not be used.”
“Why?”
“My elder sister, I mean, Su Peizhen. Her engagement with Qiu Yanbo seems to have been canceled. If they are not getting married, of course, they will not come to pick up this wedding dress.”
“No way?” Shi Mengwan was quite knowledgeable about the Su Family. Although her family was not as rich as the Su and Li Families, it was also a wealthy one. “Why was it canceled? It was such a well-matched marriage, and they had been engaged for years. Why was it canceled now?”
She suddenly came close to Su Qingsang and started gossiping. “Did Qiu Yanbo cheat?”
If Shi Mengwan had not been as good-looking as she was, the expression on her face would have looked really creepy. If it had been on anyone else but her, Su Qingsang would have been really freaked out.
“Not really? He mostly had a change of heart, I think.”
“Did he? Really?”
Su Qingsang herself did not know what had made Qiu Yanbo cancel the engagement with Su Peizhen all of a sudden.
“Well-well, come on. You must know what happened. Tell me quickly.”
Shi Mengwan took her arm with a face that looked like she was eager to hear some gossip.
Su Qingsang lost her words. “Why are you so curious?” she asked.
“Of course I’m curious.” Shi Mengwan raised her eyebrows and said, “Your sister usually holds her chin up high so she can look down on everyone she meets. She instantly distrusts everyone. I really want to know who can steal your brother-in-law’s heart under her nose.”
Su Qingsang didn’t know what to say.
“Is she like that? You are exaggerating.”
“She is more than that.” Shi Mengwan shook her arm. “Tell me, do you know anything?”
“What would I know? I only know that Qiu Yanbo seems to have a crush on someone else.”
He more than “seemed” to, he really did. Su Qingsang, however, could not say, because she was really embarrassed by it.
“Oh my god. Do you know who it is?”
“Su Qingsang—”
Two voices spoke at the same time. Su Qingsang was surprised by the one that came out of nowhere. She turned around and found that Su Peizhen was standing there and glaring at her hatefully. There was obvious resentment on her face. “What did you say?”
Gosh, Su Qingsang thought when she saw her.
Being caught talking about someone behind his or her back was indeed a little embarrassing. “Sister.”
“Don’t call me sister. I don’t want a sister like you.”
Su Peizhen came here on a whim today. Although the marriage had fallen through, she still hated breaking up with him. His family background was one thing, but she really loved Qiu Yanbo. Since they couldn’t get married, she wanted to take the wedding dress as a souvenir. She hadn’t expected to hear such news.
“You said Qiu Yanbo had a crush on another woman?”
Qiu Yanbo had been saying that they were not right for each other and he had no affection towards her. Su Peizhen had really thought that Qiu Yanbo had gotten tired of her as time went by. She had never known the truth.
Standing angrily in front of Su Qingsang, Su Peizhen began to hate her even more.
“You knew this and you did not tell me? You mean to laugh at me, don’t you?”
