After Chef Li left, Chi Shuyan ate breakfast. Seeing that it was about time, she went out.
It was just that after she went out, Chi Shuyan remembered that this was the middle of nowhere, and there was no way to get a taxi, let alone a bus. In the end, Chi Shuyan went back to the villa to draw a Gale Talisman; only then wasn’t she late for school.
She went to cla.s.s as usual today, but with something on her mind, she couldn’t help but be distracted.
After cla.s.s in the morning, Zhen Yu and Yang Lan took the initiative to look for her for lunch.
Chi Shuyan turned them down.
!!
Yang Lan suddenly asked, “Shuyan, is it because of me that you… Right, I’m with Feng Qin now. I’ll get him to treat you guys to a meal in a few days!”
When Chi Shuyan heard the name “Feng Qin,” she almost didn’t remember who he was. Zhen Yu reminded her, “Shuyan, Feng Qin is the one whom you said had especially good luck before. He’s my boyfriend’s friend! Didn’t we meet last time?”
Zhen Yu didn’t realize that when she mentioned the words “extremely good luck,” a light flashed in the depths of Yang Lan’s eyes.
Chi Shuyan finally remembered Feng Qin at that moment. When she heard Zhen Yu’s words, she subconsciously looked sharply at Yang Lan. It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in Yang Lan’s character, but the behavior she had displayed recently was completely unbelievable.
If it were in the past, she would have been happy to see Yang Lan find someone suitable for her and have good luck. Now, however, she was really worried that Yang Lan had an ulterior motive and would drag Feng Qin down.
Chi Shuyan didn’t see anything wrong with Yang Lan’s face for a moment, but her eyes darkened and she nodded. “Okay, let’s meet when you have time!”
Yang Lan heaved a sigh of relief and gave Chi Shuyan an ingratiating smile. Chi Shuyan didn’t stay long with the two of them, and found an excuse to go to Imperial Restaurant.
After leaving the south gate of the school, Chi Shuyan was about to walk to Imperial Restaurant, when a familiar figure suddenly blocked her way in a car.
Chi Shuyan realized that it was Qin Qing.
She looked at the woman in front of her, and the first thing she noticed was that she had lost a lot of weight recently. It seemed that she hadn’t been doing well!
Thinking of Qin Qing, she couldn’t help but think of Brother Feng’s strange offspring luck. Chi Shuyan’s indifferent gaze turned scrutinizing as she stared carefully at the woman’s features.
Chi Shuyan frowned. This woman clearly wasn’t pregnant, but the feature indicating her womb was faintly red. Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid subconsciously twitched.
Soon, however, she realized that apart from the red color, there was also a hint of black. Obviously, this child didn’t have much fate with this woman.
For a moment, Chi Shuyan was very puzzled by the woman’s physiognomy. This woman clearly wasn’t pregnant, but she constantly exuded offspring luck. This was too strange!
Qin Qing was smiling at that moment, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “Shuyan, long time no see!”
Chi Shuyan knew that this woman was smiling at her on the surface, but she hated her in her heart. She restrained her thoughts and said coldly to Qin Qing, “Long time no see! What’s the matter, Miss Qin?”
Qin Qing pursed her lips and smiled. “Shuyan, we’ve known each other for a long time. Can’t I come and find you?”
This woman could pretend, and so could she. “Alright!”
Qin Qing’s smile was different from before, and there was even a clear hint of smugness and schadenfreude in it, especially when she looked at Chi Shuyan. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and guessed what the woman in front of her was thinking. She heard the other party say with a smile, “Shuyan, actually, I’m not the one who’s looking for you today. It’s a friend of mine. By the way, she’s waiting for you at a cafe across the street! Let’s go!”
Chi Shuyan sneered and said, “Miss Qin, did I say I would go with you?”
Since the two of them had already shed all pretense of cordiality, she couldn’t be bothered to play along. She looked impatient and directly refused. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
Qin Qing’s face turned dark and very unsightly when she saw the Chi woman in front of her treat her like she was invisible and leave. She thought about how her status in the entertainment industry had plummeted and how she had been hiding all this time. It was also this woman’s fault that Yuanlin was so cold to her now.
Qin Qing hated the woman in front of her so much that her nails dug into her palms. Seeing that the woman in front of her was really going to leave, she hurriedly followed and said loudly, “Chi Shuyan, aren’t you curious about President Qi’s fiancée, Miss Zhuang? It was personally arranged by the Qi family’s old madam back then. She’s the rightful match for President Qi. That’s right, it’s Miss Zhuang who wants to meet you!”
Hearing the words “Qi Zhenbai’s fiancée,” Chi Shuyan subconsciously paused. Seeing that the Chi woman had indeed stopped, Qin Qing’s smile grew wider and more fake. There was gloating in her eyes. “Let’s go. Miss Zhuang has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Seeing that she was still standing there without moving, Qin Qing deliberately said in a provocative tone, “What? You don’t want to go? Maybe the next time you see her will be during their engagement. By the way, there’s something else you probably don’t know. President Qi has already agreed to let Miss Zhuang enter the Qi family! They spend all day and night together. Don’t you think it won’t be long until they are engaged?”
After a pause, Qin Qing continued to provoke her. “Moreover, I heard that President Qi has a very good impression of Miss Zhuang. He personally treated her to a meal the first time they met and was especially enthusiastic. If I were you, I would cut my losses now and accept reality as soon as possible, and ask President Qi for some compensation. It’ll probably be difficult to do so later!”
Seeing that the woman in front of her didn’t speak and just stared at her, Qin Qing’s smile deepened and she deliberately said provocatively, “What, do you still think I’m deliberately lying to you? If you don’t believe me, just go and ask Miss Zhuang! It’s just a pity, Shuyan. I’m afraid your efforts will be in vain. What a pity!”
Qin Qing said that it was a pity, but there wasn’t the slightest trace of it in her tone. She sounded smug and gloating, as if Chi Shuyan were a joke.
If it were before, Qin Qing’s words might have really dealt Chi Shuyan a blow, but now that she was prepared to cut ties with Qi Zhenbai and focus on cultivation, it had nothing to do with her whether or not that Zhuang woman could enter the Qi family, or even if she really had anything to do with Qi Zhenbai at all.
She narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Miss Qin, when did you become someone’s lackey? Besides, whether they get married or not is their business. How does it have anything to do with you? What are you so excited for?”
“You…!” Qin Qing’s face changed drastically and was very stiff. She quickly squeezed out a smile and deliberately provoked Chi Shuyan. “What? Are you afraid of Miss Zhuang? Or are you too traumatized to meet her?”
