Chapter 83
Best Dead, Lest Be A Hindrance (3)After hearing those words, Qin Zhi Ai finally understood Lin Rong’s main role here.
On the day for Old Master Gu’s birthday, Jiang Qian Qian had personally witnessed Qin Zhi Ai standing on the street for a few hours waiting for Gu Yu Sheng. Jiang Qian Qian had wanted to embarra.s.s her that day but in the end, Qin Zhi Ai had managed to slip away by pretending to be suffering from period pain. Thus, Jiang Qian Qian specially brought Lin Rong here today to take revenge for her previous disgrace.
If a man truly likes a woman, he will definitely treat her well…… Other people would not understand the hidden implication in those words, but Qin Zhi Ai could.
Jiang Qian Qian was merely using a different method, which only she and Qin Zhi Ai would understand, to tell Qin Zhi Ai that Gu Yu Sheng does not like her.
If the real Liang Dou Kou were to take back her place right now, she might actually explode and start a fight with Jiang Qian Qian. What a pity for Jiang Qian Qian that it was Qin Zhi Ai in front of her. Qin Zhi Ai had never liked being made the brunt of someone’s joke. Hence, she smiled faintly and nodded, her expression serene and tranquil, as if she was absolutely unaware of what Jiang Qian Qian was implying, and said, “What Qianqian said is right.”
This attack that Jiang Qian had planned for a long time was repelled back lightly as a feather. Naturally, she wasn’t happy, but her face smiled even brighter. “The truth is, Lin Rong isn’t as great as you guys say. He simply likes pampering me a lot. Aren’t all men the same? When they encounter the person they like, they will spoil them to the heavens……
Jiang Qian Qian suddenly tilted her head, her expression becoming somewhat serious. “……But, did you guys know? I have this one friend. She’s truly tragic; her husband doesn’t treat her well at all……”
Most of the people in this room were women and were always interested in gossip. Jiang Qian Qian’s change of topic naturally made everyone place their attention on the words on her lips.
“That friend, you know. She kept hara.s.sing and pestering this certain rich guy until he married her. But even though they’re married, that rich guy doesn’t like her a single bit. He even slightly hates her! You wouldn’t believe this. I saw with my very own eyes this one time… She and her husband had arranged to eat out, but in the end, her husband made her wait in the sun by herself for three hours before he finally came……”
Say if Qin Zhi Ai hadn’t known from the beginning whom Jiang Qian Qian was alluding to, with these words, there was no way she wouldn’t know that Jiang Qian Qian was talking about her.
But she was even clearer of the fact that Jiang Qian Qian was longing to fall out and quarrel with her, so that everyone would know that the person Jiang Qian Qian was talking about was her.
Qin Zhi Ai held her cup of hot tea with both hands, leaned against the sofa and with a smile on her lips, a.s.sumed the pose of complete outsider simply listening to a story.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Qian Qian’s eyes darkened a little, and then she added, “……It was right in the middle of summer. She waited in the scorching sun for three hours.”
“My goodness, that woman could actually continue to wait that long?”
“If it were me, I would have snapped ages ago. What would I want a man who doesn’t treat me well at all for?”
“Didn’t you hear what Qianqian said? That woman insisted on pestering him.”
“Then you can only call that woman lowly and cheap……[1]”
[1] 贱 (jiàn) means: lowly, cheap, base, vulgar, contemptible. So they’re saying that she is cheap, has no dignity or cla.s.s, low moral conduct.
