Chapter 180 - Shui Anluo, What Are You Doing?
Lin Qianchen stared at Shui Anluo’s forbearing expression and her eyes lit up with a smile. However, there was also a barely discernible sense of disdain in her smile.
“Shui Anluo, I only mentioned what had happened during your internship and Ningyi called your lecturer. I never expected this. However, your grades are truly splendid,” Lin Qianchen remarked with a smile.
She had indeed been honest with Chu Ningyi about Shui Anluo’s performance in the hospital. She would not have been able to hide the truth from Chu Ningyi and Chu Ningyi would have given Shui Anluo’s lecturer a call anyway. This was beyond Lin Qianchen’s expectations which showed how much Chu Ningyi cared about Shui Anluo. This was something that Lin Qianchen did not want.
Shui Anluo was enraged. However, she contained her emotions because if she clashed with Lin Qianchen at a time like this, she would certainly end up being reprimanded. Everyone believed this green tea bitch 1.
Shui Anluo took several deep breaths and smiled. “What can I do? He cares about me too much. Otherwise, I don’t think he’d put so much effort into my life, right?”
Shui Anluo’s retaliation surprised Lin Qianchen but she managed to regain her senses. After all, she had previously got a taste of Shui Anluo’s powers of retaliation.
“Shui Anluo, do you really think that you’d still be here if it wasn’t for the child?” Lin Qianchen continued to provoke her.
“Please accept my deepest apologies, I simply had to have that child,” Shui Anluo scoffed and looked at Lin Qianchen from head to toe. “Lin Qianchen, all you’ve managed to achieve after hanging around beside this man was to become his best friend. Aren’t you ashamed?” Though she may not be able to argue against Chu Ningyi, that does not mean she would admit defeat in front of others.
“You...” Lin Qianchen was infuriated. “Do you really think that you’ve won? Once Yuan Jiayi returns, you’ll become nothing,” Lin Qianchen spat icily. She then slowly walked toward Shui Anluo. “Did you know that Ningyi had once opposed his mother because of Yuan Jiayi? Did you know that Ningyi had faced criticism from the army bulletin for Yuan Jiayi’s sake? Did you know that Chu Ningyi nearly cut off all ties from the Chu family at one point because of Yuan Jiayi? After so many incidents, do you really think that you can replace his first love?”
Lin Qianchen had said each sentence with an icy chill in her tone. Her words echoed ceaselessly in Shui Anluo’s ears as if she were casting a magic spell.
Shui Anluo’s impression of Chu Ningyi had always been that of a decorous man. However, she never expected him to have had a starring role in the theatrical play of life, titled: ‘Who Wasn’t Wild in Their Youth?’.
However, the female protagonist of this play was a woman named Yuan Jiayi.
“Do you know why Ningyi married you? He did not love you so he had no qualms about marrying you. It was merely a duty.” Lin Qianchen continued to mutter into her ear, casting her spell. “It was only because he had nearly caused his mother’s death so he used obedience as a form of atonement. You, on the other hand, are merely proof of his obedience.”
“Are you finished?” Shui Anluo seemed to be at the limit of her tolerance. She lifted her head and glared at Lin Qianchen in annoyance.
“Of course not, Shui Anluo. Do you really think that you’ve won with the way you are now? So what if you’re the Eldest Miss of the Shui family? You’re still a defeated opponent.” Lin Qianchen continued mercilessly. Her expression was filled with malevolence.
Shui Anluo forcefully took a deep breath, fighting the urge to raise her hand against Lin Qianchen.
“Oh? Are you angry? After all, you’re just a spare too.” Lin Qianchen concealed the malevolence on her face and smiled.
“I said shut up,” Shui Anluo snarled angrily and immediately pushed Lin Qianchen away.
“Shui Anluo, what are you doing?” Chu Ningyi’s annoyed voice suddenly rang out just as Lin Qianchen fell onto the ground.
