She said, “Don’t they look very compatible? I set them up.”
Ling Shuang clenched her fists tightly by her side, her nails digging into her flesh. She stared fixedly at Lu Qinshang and Suisui, her eyes spitting fire.
Lin Qingqian, you b*tch!!!
In terms of family background and beauty, she was clearly the most compatible with Lu Qinshang. But this b*tch Lin Qingqian actually set Lu Qinshang up with her best friend instead! !
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
Lin Qingqian went ahead of her to the bathroom and stood at the mirror to apply her lipstick. From the corner of her eye, she saw the woman who came in, and the smile in her eyes became even brighter.
Ling Shuang stared at her with faint interest…
She put away her lipstick and turned to look at Ling Shuang, her bright eyes rippling. “Miss Ling, what’s the matter?”
Ling Shuang gritted her teeth and said, “Lin Qingqian, you did it on purpose.”
Lin Qingqian nodded and admitted without hesitation, “Yes, I did it on purpose.”
“Why are you doing this to me!” Matching Lu Qinshang and Yan Sui together was even worse than killing her.
Lin Qingqian’s bright eyes were calm as her lips curved. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking Miss Ling this?”
Ling Shuang was stunned. Before she could react, she heard her rippling voice slowly ring out. “When you helped Li Ruzhu stab me openly and secretly, did you think about today?”
“1—” She immediately fell silent.
“When you worked with Sheng Yan to buy anti-fans and tried your best to slander me, did you think about today?”
Lin Qingqian was wearing a lime-green dress today. Her long hair was dyed red, and the ends of her hair were curled just above her collarbone. Her bright red lips were charming but not gaudy.
She walked towards Ling Shuang in a pair of high heels of the same color. Every step seemed to crush her heart.
Her face alternated between red and white. Her rationality was being gnawed away by anger bit by bit. She loosened her clenched fists in front of her and raised her hand to slap her face.
Lin Qingqian’s brows and eyes were light, and she didn’t even blink. “You have to think carefully. What are the consequences of this slap?”
Her arm immediately froze in midair.
Consequences?
Before she could think, she heard the woman’s light and confident voice—
“You saw how much Old Madam likes me today. Jiang Yanshen is so good to me that he won’t leave my side.”
“If they find out that you hit me here, guess how long the Ling Family can last?”
Ling Shuang’s face gradually turned pale, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes.
“Actually, putting aside Jiang Yanshen, just by handing this to the media, you’ll be consigned to eternal damnation!”
Lin Qingqian took out a USB flash drive from her silver handbag.
Ling Shuang asked with a pale face, “What is this?”
‘My assistant went to chat with Sheng Yan and bought it for 500,000 yuan.”
Lin Qingqian smiled. “What do you think it is?”
Ling Shuang knew best what she was referring to. When she realized what was on the USB flash drive, her vision darkened and she almost fainted.
If word got out, not to mention her life being over, even her father would beat her to death!!
At the thought of that bastard Sheng Yan, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
Seeing the tears in her eyes and her trembling appearance, Lin Qingqian handed the USB flash drive to her without any hesitation.
Ling Shuang was stunned. Her misty eyes stared at her in disbelief. “You, you want to give me the USB?”
“I didn’t intend to release in the first place.” Lin Qingqian held her hand and placed the USB drive carefully in her pale palm. “It’s true that you’re already an adult and can take responsibility for your actions, but can’t you see through a person’s character?”
Ling Shuang was dumbfounded. Her lips trembled as she muttered, “W-why?” Didn’t she spend so much money to buy the USB drive to take revenge on her?
Why did she give it to her now?
She hadn’t even begged her for it yet!
“There’s no grudge between us to begin with. You were deceived by Li Ruzhu. It’s not your fault for being ignorant.” Lin Qingqian curved her lips, looking very righteous.
Ling Shuang:
Initially, she was a little touched, but when she heard the last sentence, she was suddenly not touched anymore.
“I don’t like to become enemies with others. Besides, you didn’t do anything heinous.” Lin Qingqian smiled. “Just take it that I’m accumulating good karma.”
Ling Shuang clenched the USB in her palm tightly, feeling a strong sense of guilt.
Thinking of how she had scolded her in the hall just now and how she was repaying evil with kindness now, she felt even more ashamed and her tears fell unprepared.
Her voice was choked. “Th-thank you.”
“No need to thank me.” Lin Qingqian smiled. “Remember to return the 500,000 yuan to me. You can send it to my company through online transfers or checks. ”
Suddenly, she didn’t want to cry anymore.
“You’re a dignified company boss. Do you still lack 500,000 yuan?” She choked and scolded her for being petty.
Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “I don’t lack this 500,000 yuan, but we’re not friends. Why should I spend 500,000 yuan for you?” She was just short of asking, “Are you worthy?”
Ling Shuang:
She was actually speechless.
She bit her red lips and sniffed. “Lin Qingqian, even if you help me this time, I won’t become friends with you.”
Her friends were all rich second-generation heirs of Lan City. They didn’t like Lin Qingqian’s background.
Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Yes, it’s rare that we have the same opinion on something.”
Ling Shuang raised her hand to wipe her tears. She felt that she was being mocked, but there was no evidence.
“Take your time crying. I’ll excuse myself. ”
With that, she turned around and walked to the bathroom door. She thought of something and turned around. “By the way, Sheng Yan promised to sell the video to me for 500,000 yuan with the additional condition of helping him clear his name. I guess this isn’t what you want to see.”
“Clear his name?” At the thought of that b* stard Sheng Yan, Ling Shuang’s eyes immediately spewed fire. “He’s dreaming!!”
Lin Qingqian was very satisfied with this outcome. Before opening the door and leaving, she slowly said—
“Suisui and Lu Qinshang are not together yet, but if you cause trouble for me again, I can’t guarantee it.”
With that, she closed the washroom door.
Ling Shuang immediately felt like she had returned to heaven from hell. When she thought of how Lu Qinshang was still single, she couldn’t help but feel happy!
No, she should kill that b*stard Sheng Yan first!!
She immediately took out her phone and called her sisters, asking her company not to give Sheng Yan any more resources. She also wanted to find a few people to expose his dirt and make him never be able to make a comeback. When Lin Qingqian came out of the washroom, she saw a man waiting not far away.
As if sensing something, he looked up at her at the same time, his black eyes rippling with the wind.
Lin Qingqian walked in front of him. “Why did you come out?”
Jiang Yanshen didn’t answer and asked, “Have you finished your bad deeds?”
Lin Qingqian’s brows moved slightly as she said aggrievedly, “I’ve already said that I’m the most law abiding person. I never do anything bad.”
Jiang Yanshen didn’t believe her. He glanced at the washroom meaningfully.
“You don’t need my help?”
“No need.” Lin Qingqian held his arm and walked towards the banquet hall.
“You really don’t need it?” There was a hint of disappointment in her tone, and she felt as if she was not needed.
“The way you attack is too bloody. I don’t like it.” “Then what kind of method do you like?”
“Me!” Lin Qingqian smiled. “I like to watch from the sidelines.”
Ling Shuang was not a good person, and Sheng Yan was not a good person either. It was better to let them fight each other like dogs. This way, they would not have the time and energy to deal with her, and she could watch them fight.
Wouldn’t it be faster to resolve the matter without any bloodshed?
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out. In the darkness, Jiang
Yanshen and Lin Qingqian pushed five layers of cake into the banquet hall.
The light of the candles barely illuminated the layout of the venue. Everyone consciously made way and clapped and sang a birthday song.
The cake was pushed in front of Old Madam Jiang. The warm candlelight illuminated the relief and joy in her eyes.
Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian said in unison, “Grandma, I wish you a happy birthday.”
Old Madam Jiang nodded and said, “Alright.”
Jiang Chongjing accompanied the old lady and thoughtfully and meticulously helped her cut the cake. Wu Suyun helped from the other side and distributed the cake to the guests.
Everyone had to give face to the birthday girl and take a bite of the cake.
Old Madam Jiang also had a piece in her hand. She handed it to Lin Qingqian.
Lin Qingqian chuckled. “Grandma, there’s more. Eat first.”
Seeing this, Old Madam Jiang ate it herself.
Usually, she did not eat these things. Today was her birthday, so she ate a bit on account of the happy occasion.
Jiang Yanshen handed the cake to her. “Eat.”
Lin Qingqian did not stand on ceremony with him. She took it and looked up at him. Before she even ate it, she felt the sweetness in her heart.
Jiang Yunshen appeared out of nowhere and said, “Big Brother is so biased. You gave the cake to Sister-in-law but didn’t give it to me!”
Ever since he was forced by Jiang Yanshen to address Lin Qingqian as
“Sister-in-law”, he was calling her “Sister-in-law” more and more smoothly.
Old Madam Jiang glared at him. “How old are you to still compete with your sister-in-law for favor?”
Jiang Yunshen argued indignantly, “No matter how old I am, I’m still a younger brother in front of Big Brother. He should take care of me.”
Jiang Yanshen handed him the cake he had just received and said calmly, “Choke on it.”
Jiang Yunshen: ‘
He was so angry, but he still had to eat the cake.
On the surface, Jiang Yanshen looked cold and disdainful of people, but the two pieces in his hands were distributed to Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yunshen.
He did not leave any for himself.
Old Madam Jiang looked at the harmonious appearance of the brothers and felt relieved. At least they… would not be like before.
As she thought about it, her heart suddenly ached, and her body stiffened. The cake in her hand fell to the ground.
“Grandma…” Jiang Yanshen was the first to react. His exquisite and cold features turned pale with fright.
The cake in Lin Qingqian’s hand also fell to the ground. “Grandma…”
Old Madam Jiang fell to the side. Jiang Yanshen was the closest and hugged her, his black eyes filled with worry. ‘Grandma…”
Jiang Yunshen also threw away the cake in his hand and squeezed to the front.
He saw that the old lady’s face was pale and her eyes were red.. “Grandma… Grandma, what’s wrong?”
