Chapter 1298: Zhuang Yanru’s Provocation

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Chi Shuyan had only seen Zhuang Yanru once from afar. After listening to the other party’s unkind words, she looked up and saw a rather beautiful woman standing in front of her with a smile and some enthusiasm. Upon a closer look, however, the woman’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. Chi Shuyan restrained herself and her eyes turned sharp. She said indifferently, “h.e.l.lo!”

Chi Shuyan was cold, but Qin Qing feigned enthusiasm. “Shuyan, you don’t know how much Miss Zhuang wants to get to know you in particular!”

Zhuang Yanru also smiled and took the initiative to say, “Miss Chi, this is my first time meeting you, and I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful. Seeing is truly a hundred times better than hearing!”

The woman in front of her examined her as she spoke, her eyes somewhat sharp and different from other women.

Chi Shuyan didn’t like this Zhuang woman from the moment she saw her. She just felt that not only was this woman a little scheming, she was also too fake. Her appet.i.te was instantly ruined by the two women in front of her, and her smile faded a little.

On the side, Qin Qing was even happier and gloated when she watched Chi Shuyan suffer a setback. She deliberately said, “Shuyan, Miss Zhuang wants to get to know you in particular and has a very good impression of you. As for her engagement to President Qi, it has nothing to do with Miss Zhuang. The two families have acknowledged it, and Miss Zhuang didn’t have a choice.”

Qin Qing spoke kindly on the surface, but in fact, she itched to outright say in Chi Shuyan’s face that this Miss Zhuang and President Qi’s relations.h.i.+p had gotten the seal of approval and Chi Shuyan couldn’t do anything about it.

After a pause, Qin Qing immediately smiled brightly and added, “Yanru, right, I heard that the Qi family and your family are waiting for you and President Qi to set a date?”

How could Zhuang Yanru not know what Qin Qing was getting at? Her eyes flashed, and she feigned shyness and lowered her head. She looked at Chi Shuyan ‘worriedly’ and said, “I’ll listen to my family!”

Qin Qing’s smile deepened. She looked at the expressionless Chi woman in front of her and chuckled at Zhuang Yanru. “Yanru, congratulations. You have to treat me to a drink on your and President Qi’s day!”

Zhuang Yanru replied generously, “Okay!”

Chi Shuyan was speechless as she watched the two women put on a song and dance in front of her. Not to mention that she had nothing to do with Qi Zhenbai now, even if she did, how could the words of the two women affect her?

If she had known that she would run into such a boring thing here, she may as well have stayed home and slept. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the two of them restrained themselves a little when Chu Shuyan didn’t respond after a long while. It was just that the way the Qin woman looked at Chi Shuyan at that moment was completely different. Her expression was both sympathetic and gloating; she probably thought that Chi Shuyan had suffered a blow to her heart.

Chi Shuyan felt that if she didn’t speak now, who knew how long the two women in front of her would stand there and talk nonsense. She took the initiative to say indifferently and insincerely, “If Miss Zhuang is really fated to be with President Qi, then congratulations!”

Zhuang Yanru: …

Qin Qing: …

“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go first,” Chi Shuyan beat them to it.

The woman didn’t look as heartbroken as Zhang Yanru had imagined. She frowned and then looked at the cold face of the woman in front of her. The smile on her face faded a little, and she looked at the woman in front of her in a new light.

Speaking of which, she had always looked down on Qin Qing’s methods. The reason she had agreed today was because she didn’t think much of the little girl surnamed Chi in front of her. She didn’t expect this girl to be so calm and indifferent, to the point that Zhang Yanru was the one to lose out instead. Zhuang Yanru vaguely felt that this little girl in front of her wasn’t as simple as she thought, and her eyes grew more and more probing.

Chi Shuyan didn’t wait for the two women to reply, and left first. She was so fast that Zhuang Yanru and Qin Qing didn’t react at all. After she left, their faces changed.

Qin Qing immediately fawned on Zhuang Yanru. “Yanru, I knew it; this Chi woman didn’t know what’s good for her!”

Zhuang Yanru smiled very faintly as she stared at the Chi girl not far away. The more she looked at her, the more she disliked her. Speaking of which, this Chi girl was indeed dazzlingly beautiful, but extremely unlikable.

Zhuang Yanru petty enough to be jealous of someone else’s beauty. After all, she wasn’t bad-looking. However, when she thought about how Qi Zhenbai, that man, liked a little girl like Chi Shuyan, but ignored her and didn’t take her seriously, Zhuang Yanru felt more cold than aggrieved.

The other party was just a little girl. Although she was calmer and steadier than her peers, that was all. Zhuang Yanru was used to being overbearing and always getting whatever she wanted.

If Qi Zhenbai really liked such a little girl, she could only deal with her and get rid of this obstacle. Furthermore, that Chi girl had no sense and didn’t give her any face at all. A ruthless glint flashed in Zhuang Yanru’s eyes as she suddenly took out something and handed it to Qin Qing. “Give this to her when you’re free!”

Qin Qing’s eyes lit up when she saw the black Buddha pendant. She was in a good mood and hurriedly nodded. “I understand, Yanru!”

“How did it go?” After Qin Qing accepted the black Buddha pendant, Zhuang Yanru asked the question casually.

Qin Qing immediately said, “Yanru, I did as you said and gave those things to the right people.”

Zhuang Yanru nodded and said, “If things go well, I’ll definitely talk to Master, and you’ll get your wis.h.!.+”

Hearing the words “get your wish,” Qin Qing was overjoyed. She was 120% happy and immediately said, “Yanru, I’ll definitely do my best!”

Chi Shuyan naturally didn’t know about their scheme. In fact, as soon as Chi Shuyan shook them off, Yu Qun and Xie Mingxuan led her to Director Li. Director Li was very enthusiastic toward Chi Shuyan. If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, he would have called her Master Chi.

It wasn’t long before something big happened in the hall, and it was related to Ruan Shenglin. Chi Shuyan listened to Director Li and the others talk on the side, and learned that Ruan Shenglin had been talking nicely with other people earlier, when his personality suddenly changed. He grabbed a ‘good friend’ by the neck and pressed him to the floor with astonis.h.i.+ng strength. If it wasn’t for the help of many people on the side, this ‘good friend’ would probably have died.

Seeing that this press conference had almost turned into a murder investigation, it would be strange if Director Li could be happy. The lively atmosphere had also turned very strange. Seeing Director Li’s anxious expression, Chi Shuyan took the initiative to say, “Director Li, why don’t I go with you to take a look?”
