The sharp shouting echoed throughout the entire villa through the intercom doorbell.
Even through the door, Shen Qingqing could feel just how furious the person outside was.
A smile rose in her heart. She never expected that the fragile, pitiful little “white lotus” from the original storyline Shen Baiyun would have such a moment of hysterical screaming.
It seemed she had truly been driven into a corner.
Shen Qingqing shot Lu Qianshan a look. Lu Qianshan suppressed the words he wanted to say and turned to head upstairs.
At that moment, Shen Baiyun stood outside the villa, her face gloomy.
She pounded hard on the door while seething with hatred.
After being caught in the act of cheating, she went back and carefully thought about everything. Only then did she suddenly recall that when she had been under the grape trellis earlier her eyes hazy she had seen a shadow outside the flower bushes.
Wasn’t that Shen Qingqing?
It was her. It had to be her who called those people over!
But… Shen Qingqing had always lived in the countryside. How could she possibly know so much?
That was why, after accompanying Lu Kai away from the Lu family, Shen Baiyun hurried over to find Shen Qingqing without stopping.
She needed to figure out what was really going on behind all of this.
Just as Shen Baiyun was standing outside thinking about what she would say first when they met, the door suddenly opened.
Shen Qingqing stood there with her arms crossed, looking at Shen Baiyun with a half-smile.
“My dear little sister, rushing over here so urgently what are you trying to do?”
Shen Baiyun choked, about to speak.
But Shen Qingqing cut her off.
“You must want to ask whether I was the one who brought people to catch you cheating today. I’ll tell you yes, it was me.”
Yes, Shen Qingqing laid her cards on the table.
After what happened that morning, even though she couldn’t communicate with the system in this world, Shen Qingqing had already guessed that this world’s level wasn’t very high.
Otherwise, the male and female leads wouldn’t have started getting intimate and affectionate just because of a little aphrodisiac she used even if it was an enhanced version completely deviating from the original plot.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing continued, “My dear sister, you’ve already asked everything you wanted to ask…”
Shen Baiyun’s suspicion had just been confirmed.
She looked somewhat incredulous, her eyes flickering with guilt.
“Aren’t… aren’t you just a country bumpkin from the countryside?”
Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”
The next moment, she slapped her.
“I’m the country bumpkin? I think you’re the real bumpkin! You stole my wonderful life, and you still dare to mock me?”
Hearing that, the guilt in Shen Baiyun’s eyes deepened. But she secretly comforted herself
No matter what, Shen Qingqing would never discover that matter.
She was destined to remain a country bumpkin from the countryside forever, never able to turn her life around.
Thinking of this, Shen Baiyun finally gained some confidence.
She stared straight at Shen Qingqing and said coldly, “So, Shen Qingqing after ruining the relationship between Brother Lu Kai and me like this, what do you gain from it?”
Shen Qingqing found it somewhat amusing.
“Shen Baiyun, I’m doing a good deed. Don’t wrong me.”
“I’m helping promote your relationship with Lu Kai. And after I brought Old Master Lu here, your relationship got exposed. Doesn’t that mean your goal of becoming Mrs. Lu will soon be achieved?”
“My dear sister, don’t you think so?”
Having her true intentions exposed, Shen Baiyun’s face flushed.
After a moment she angrily shouted, “You’re talking nonsense!”
She immediately raised her hand to slap Shen Qingqing.
However.
Before her hand could reach Shen Qingqing’s face, Shen Qingqing had already grabbed her wrist.
“Ow! That hurts!”
“Shen Qingqing, how dare you hit me?!”
“I didn’t hit you. This is called self-defense,” Shen Qingqing mocked.
Shen Baiyun instantly lost the courage to continue confronting her and turned around to leave.
Shen Qingqing didn’t stop her.
She went back into the villa, took out her phone, opened Feixin, opened the Lu family group, found Zhou Liuer, and sent a friend request.
Not long after, Zhou Liuer accepted.
At that moment, Zhou Liuer was at a beauty salon. She had spent a large sum of money on beauty treatments. When she saw Shen Qingqing contacting her, she quickly accepted the request.
After all, she had long realized that this Shen Qingqing didn’t seem as simple as she appeared.
Shen Qingqing: Hello Second Aunt, this is Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing: Although Second Uncle has now obtained the position of president, Lu Kai is still watching covetously. Second Aunt, how about we cooperate?
Seeing the message, Zhou Liuer immediately became alert and replied cautiously.
Cooperate on what?
Shen Qingqing’s eyes shimmered slightly as she replied directly.
Of course on how to help Second Uncle firmly secure the president’s position.
What do you want? Zhou Liuer asked.
After thinking briefly, Shen Qingqing replied.
I want to get rid of my “country bumpkin” identity. So please arrange for me to join the Lu Group.
Zhou Liuer thought about it carefully before replying.
Alright.
Come to Lu Group tomorrow and you can start work.
Okay, thank you.
After replying, Shen Qingqing ended the chat. She placed her phone face down on the table, her eyes flickering with thought.
She always felt that the guilt that flashed in Shen Baiyun’s eyes earlier was unusual.
Logically speaking, since she this female supporting character had brought people to catch her cheating, Shen Baiyun, as the female lead, should have righteously accused her instead.
It seemed there was some unknown secret behind this.
Meanwhile.
At the Shen family home.
Shen Baiyun pushed the door open and collapsed onto the sofa, her eyes flickering as she thought of a countermeasure.
Shen Qingqing was clearly not simple. Today she had already set a trap for both her and Lu Kai.
Just as she was thinking about this, Shen Jing and Ye Zhi returned home.
Seeing Ye Zhi, Shen Baiyun quickly suppressed her thoughts and stood up to greet them.
“Dad, Mom, you’re back.”
Shen Jing glanced at her and simply hummed in response.
But Ye Zhi immediately noticed something strange. She hurried over and hugged Shen Baiyun.
“Yun’er, quickly tell Mom what happened today. I heard at the birthday banquet that you were slapped. Is that true?”
Shen Baiyun revealed a wronged expression.
“Mom, don’t blame Sister. She was just too angry, so she slapped me in front of everyone. But I don’t blame her…”
She spoke in a deliberately pitiful tone.
Ye Zhi immediately became furious.
“How dare she?!”
“No, I’m going to settle accounts with her right now! Bullying my precious daughter how can that be allowed!”
Since Ye Zhi was unable to have children, she spoiled Shen Baiyun who had lived with her for years excessively.
Hearing this, a trace of triumph flashed in Shen Baiyun’s eyes. She then looked at Shen Jing and said sweetly, “Dad, please persuade Mom. It’s not worth going to find Sister over this. Besides, I don’t blame her.”
Ye Zhi immediately interrupted, “Don’t call her ‘Sister’ again! Shen Qingqing is just a country bumpkin from the countryside. What right does she have to let my precious daughter call her sister?”
Shen Jing frowned slightly but said nothing.
“I understand, Mom. Oh right something happened at the Lu Group today. Lu Kai is no longer the president. I still need to…”
Hearing this, Shen Jing’s gaze turned cold.
“Old Master Lu was truly furious this time. Lu Kai’s future is uncertain now. Keep him hooked for the moment. In the next couple of days, I’ll arrange someone else for you…”
Shen Baiyun did not object. Instead, she asked excitedly, “Who is it?”
