As Zhuang Nainai was cursing Bai Yue in her heart, she heard her say something peculiar, “Aunt Shi’s birthday is coming up in a few days. I came to ask you, what does Aunt Shi like?”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
She felt that the whole world must have been a lie!
What did she just hear?
If she had not misunderstood her, “Aunt Shi” should be Si Jingyu’s mother-in-law.
And, not only did a mistress want to join the family for someone else’s mother-in-law’s birthday celebration so outrightly, she also even came to ask the rightful wife what gift to give?
Oh my god!
Zhuang Nainai felt like her values had just been attacked!
However, as it happened, one was asking so boldly while the other…
Si Jingyu was taken aback by her move. Clenching her fists that were resting on her legs tightly, she kept a straight face. As she looked down, she said in a distant and cold voice, “You should ask Shi Jinyan about this.”
Bai Yue laughed. “Men are less detailed when it comes to this kind of things. Oh, speaking of which, Jinyan has been doing well for the past two years, so I should thank you for taking care of him.”
When she looked up, she could sense that Si Jingyu had been shot down by her words, filling her with the thrill of revenge. She continued saying, “I heard you are close to Aunt Shi, so you must know what she likes. You should know that there are some misunderstandings between me and Aunt Shi, but I heard that she loves you. Needless to say, you should be well aware of her taste, so I can only look for you for help.”
Upon hearing these, Si Jingyu clenched her fists tightly again.
Zhuang Nainai, who was sitting beside her, was going to blow up in fury.
This Bai Yue! Utterly shameless!
She did not know what had happened between them, but since Si Jingyu and Shi Jinyan were already married, Bai Yue’s interference would make her the mistress!
Zhuang Nainai turned her head to look at Si Jingyu. Standing up suddenly, she was about to say something when she saw Bai Yue raise her brows and say, “What? Don’t like what you see? You want to defend your friend?”
Her lips curled up. “Then, do you know exactly what kind of person this friend that you are defending is? Do you know what happened between us?”
Upon saying these, Bai Yue controlled her expression. “Let me tell you, I also used to take care of her as if she were my closest sister. But in the end?”
Standing up, Bai Yue looked at Si Jingyu menacingly. “In the end, Si Jingyu, didn’t you let me down?”
As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Zhuang Nainai could not resist rebutting her. However, before she could speak, Si Jingyu grabbed her hand immediately.
Si Jingyu said extremely calmly, “Shiny things.”
Both Bai Yue and Zhuang Nainai were stunned. They did not seem to have understood what she had just said.
Si Jingyu explained, “Mother… she likes any shiny objects.”
When Si Jingyu finished speaking, a tinge of disdain flashed across Bai Yue’s eyes.
As expected of a nouveau riche. A poor person who came from the rural village, who have never seen expensive jewels, liked shiny things.
However, this expression vanished instantly. Bai Yue held back her loftiness and picked up her bag. She said to Si Jingyu, “Thanks.”
As soon as she said this, she pushed the door of the conference room open and left abruptly.
Staring at her back, Zhuang Nainai felt very unlucky.
She turned to look at Si Jingyu, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
She knew Si Jingyu’s concession surely had its meaning.
Something must have happened between these three people.
Zhuang Nainai did not know anything, so she did not dare to say anything recklessly.
Si Jingyu patted Zhuang Nainai’s arm. “Alright, let’s go.”
