Chapter 149 - 149: Come and Get It Yourself
Ling Bing’er immediately screamed in shock, “This is worth over two million yuan, and it’s all ruined! Shen Qingyue and her mistress must compensate!” She grew angrier as she continued, “Shen Qingyue has no shame. She had an affair within her marriage and got pregnant with a b*stard, and now she dares to bully…”
“Ling Bing’er! Do you want to die?” Qin Zhen’s eyes turned ominously dark as he looked over, as if he were really contemplating murder.
Ling Bing’er recalled her promise to Qin Zhen not to speak about this matter outside. After all, if this matter were to become public, it would be Qin Zhen who would lose face. Since Qin Zhen was in a bad mood, their family would not fare well either. So, she quickly closed her mouth.
Qin Zhen said to Wei Jiu’er, “Come back in a few days to pick again. Let’s go back for today.”
Although Wei Jiu’er looked aggrieved, she maintained a sense of propriety and did not argue. She obediently followed behind Qin Zhen and spoke softly. Later, she used the excuse of accompanying Ling Bing’er to the hospital to leave Qin
Zhen’s sight. Then, she asked Ling Bing’er about what she had just mentioned, Shen Qingyue getting pregnant. How did she not know about this?
Ling Bing’er had no guard up against Wei Jiu’er and spoke freely. “Shen Qingyue is just shameless. She had an affair within her marriage, and now she’s trying to blame it on you and my brother for her divorce. This woman is truly shameless.”
While Ling Bing’er vented, Wei Jiu’er tried to calm her down, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn’t believe that after Qin Zhen had learned about this, he hadn’t confronted Shen Qingyue. Knowing Qin Zhen’s character, he was the kind of person who would rather bear the world’s burdens than let the world bear his. How could he possibly let this matter slide? She had clearly underestimated Shen Qingyue’s ability to bewitch Qin Zhen to such an extent!
Two days later, Zhang Jianci came to find Shen Qingyue and brought her a bag.
Shen Qingyue was puzzled. “What’s this for?”
“This is the bag Ling Bing’er threw at me. I happened to take it home that day. That woman has been calling me for the past two days, asking me to return the bag to her. She must be dreaming, right? I picked it up, so it’s mine now. I think this bag is quite expensive, and I thought my sister-in-law could sell it in high society circles to help my brother recoup some losses.”
Shen Qingyue took the bag. “Did Qin Zhen send over the bills?”
“No, and I don’t know if they even want it anymore. Anyway, I had them delivered, and they should have no trouble finding the place. I guess Qin Zhen just felt embarrassed,” Zhang Jianci said with a smirk.
“That probably means they don’t want it,” Shen Qingyue replied. She knew that Qin Zhen was a person who valued his reputation. If he really wanted the money from Chi Ming, he would feel like he’d been bested. He was telling them that he wasn’t the kind of person to quibble over a little money.
Zhang Jianci was skeptical. “Over 20 million, and they’re saying they don’t want it? Well, it’s better if they don’t. After all, it’s their big loss, not ours.” Shen Qingyue chuckled. “Yes, Qin Zhen will be uncomfortable for a while…” After seeing off Zhang Jianci, Shen Qingyue continued working.
During her lunch break, the phone in the bag belonging to Ling Bing’er rang again. She answered, and the person on the other end immediately began to curse loudly, “Zhang Jianci! If you don’t return my bag, I’ll report you for robbery! My bag, along with its contents, is worth hundreds of thousands.
You’ll be going to jail!”
Shen Qingyue calmly responded, “You’re asking someone for a favor to return your things, and you’re using this attitude? It seems that Zhang Jianci didn’t teach you a good enough lesson that day…” She knew Ling Bing’er, and although she was not a real threat, she was not someone to be underestimated either.
Ling Bing’er was taken aback for a moment, then her voice became sharper,
“You? Shen Qingyue, you wicked woman! Did you tell them not to return my bag? You smashed Sister Ju’er’s car, and now you’re confiscating my things! You’re shameless! I give you until the end of today to return my bag, or else…”
Shen Qingyue coldly interrupted her, “No need for ‘or else,’ I will return this bag to you.”
Ling Bing’er hadn’t expected Shen Qingyue to relent so easily. “Scared? Humph, if you had been like this from the beginning, it would have been settled long ago. You really…”
Shen Qingyue interrupted her again, “But you’ll have to come and pick it up yourself. I’m not going to deliver it to you.”
“You!” Ling Bing’er was on the verge of exploding but managed to restrain herself. Her bag contained valuable items, and she could not let this woman benefit from it. “Are you at your office or at home? I’m coming right now.”
Shen Qingyue casually twirled her pen. “I’m not at either.”
“Then where are you? Are you playing tricks on me?” Ling Bing’er was getting angry again.
Shen Qingyue replied, “I’ll be on a business trip to Jianghai later. I’ll leave your bag at the police station in Jianghai City. You can pick it up yourself..”
