Chapter 789 - Shocking Reversal
Rose Castle.
Shen Qianshu was watching the commotion going on online, and she felt annoyed deep down. “Jing Yun is such a drama queen. She didn’t change at all.”
She looked at the bracelet and put it into a box. Then, she covered the box. It was somewhat like giving all of these a form of closure. The necklace that Tong Hua had auctioned out was meant to be for Jing Yun on her birthday, but they never gave it to her.
Zhong Ran asked, “Miss Shen, may I ask? Since you guys had matching bracelets, the relationship between the three of you should be really good. Why did you guys fall out?”
Ye Ling could not care at all. He was reading by one side. Tong Hua looked around curiously, and he looked at Shen Qianshu as if a shocking secret was about to be released. Shen Qianshu frowned and said, “The new mayor is called Yang Po, isn’t he?”
“Yeah.”
Shen Qianshu sneered. “Xiaojuan had been working at Brilliant Entertainment since she was in Year 1 at university. Afterward, she had to look after Tong Hua and me. Once, Brilliant Entertainment needed to get a permit from the local military bases for filming. The person who was here to talk about the contract was Yang Po. He fell for Xiaojuan.”
“Damn!” Tong Hua could imagine everything from then on. “So for all these years, Jing Yun is the one who is Aunt’s substitute.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Babe, indeed you have acted in too many nonsensical dramas. Ditto!”
“What a shocking reversal!” Zhong Ran and Ah Da felt that this was way more exciting than in dramas.
“Yang Po is so pretentious. He wants to have a young lover, and he tried so hard to form connections with Xiaojuan. He even looked for excuses to take Xiaojuan out for a meal. He offered all sorts of benefits, but back then, she was just in university, so she did not have many social skills. She could not tell what the sly old fox was thinking. After too many times, the sly old fox got impatient. Hence, he switched his target to Jing Yun.”
Zhong Ran understood. “After all, Jing Yun and Xiaojuan look alike.”
“Pfft, not…”
“No cursing!” Ye Ling said suddenly.
“… ” Everyone stared in shock.
Shen Qianshu coughed. “Master, when did I curse?”
“Speak properly!”
Tong Hua said, “You’re so annoying. I’m enjoying myself with all this gossip. Can you just read your book and not interrupt?”
“… ” Everyone stared in shock.
Young Master, you’re brave as usual today!
Ye Ling humphed. His eyes brushed past Tong Hua, but Tong Hua was not afraid of him at all. With wide eyes that were filled with interest in gossip, Tong Hua said, “Does he have feelings for other people? Mommy, continue, continue.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Yang Po has feelings for many. He wanted Jing Yun, yet his love for Xiaojuan never faded. Not long after, Jing Yun got tired of it. To maintain connections with Yang Po, she tried to drug Xiaojuan and send her to Yang Po’s bed in exchange for getting famous. That year, they were on break. I happened to bring Tong Hua back home for a design competition, and we happened to be at the hotel. My eyes kept twitching as if something was wrong. I felt so insecure, and I went to find Xiaojuan. I happened to bump into this issue.”
“That woman is too vicious!” Zhong Ran said. That time, they had not cut off any ties, and they were still great friends.
“Not only vicious. If I came any later, Xiaojuan would have been ruined. Yang Po the sly old fox had lots of tactics. Luckily, I am not someone to be trifled with. I took a video and some photos. Then, I beat the two of them up. I knew that he could ruin me more easily than I could step on an ant. Commoners like us needed to survive, so we sat down and had a discussion. As long as Yang Po stopped bothering us, we would never expose the photos and videos.”
Zhong Ran frowned. That’s a very dangerous thing to do.
“Aren’t you afraid that Yang Po would not give up and ruin your lives?”
