Shen Youjin clicked on Ling Qiuqiu's contact card. She could no longer see the latter's updates.
Ling Qiuqiu had deleted her in a fit of anger a long time ago, but Shen Youjin had never deleted Ling Qiuqiu.
If she could see Ling Qiuqiu again, she would definitely not make the same choice!
Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.
She didn't plan to answer, thinking it was a scam call, but the caller called again.
As soon as she answered, Mrs. Bai's voice came through, as arrogant as ever, which brought back unpleasant memories.
"Shen Youjin, I'm Beichen's mother. Let's meet this afternoon!"
"I'm not available." She refused directly.
Mrs. Bai's invitation could only mean one thing: she wanted Shen Youjin to stay away from Bai Beichen.
She might even pour coffee on her. Shen Youjin had no interest in asking for trouble.
Mrs. Bai frowned. This girl was still as rude as before!
She couldn't understand why her well - behaved son had taken a fancy to such a girl. She was simply unworthy of entering the family of one of the five major families!
"I'm your elder. Is this how you talk to me? It seems your mother didn't teach you well when she was alive,"
Shen Youjin's hand that was about to hang up the phone froze. Her mother was her sore spot!
"Mrs. Bai, do you know? Talking to you really easily triggers my night blindness."
Mrs. Bai looked at the bright sunshine outside and didn't understand her meaning for a moment.
"I'm very afraid of the lights going out all of a sudden." Her tone was calm, but the words were very powerful. "If Mrs. Bai is really afraid that Bai Beichen has any connection with me, you should persuade Bai Beichen. You can't even control your own child but want to control others. It's obvious that Mrs. Bai has no manners!"
"You! You! You!" Mrs. Bai had never been so wronged. She was so angry that she was almost crazy, and her voice trembled. "Shen Youjin, no wonder the Shen family doesn't recognize you..."
Shen Youjin was too lazy to waste any more words with her. She hung up the phone directly and then sent a WeChat message to Bai Beichen: "Control your mother!"
In the luxurious Western - style restaurant, Bai Beichen picked up his phone and glanced at it. His eyebrows instantly knitted into a frown.
So, his mother had still gone to find Shen Youjin?
"What's wrong?" The carefully - dressed girl opposite him lifted a sweet smile. "Brother Beichen, is something wrong?"
Although Bai Beichen had barely paid any attention to her since they met, she had been fascinated by him at first sight. This man was really handsome.
Moreover, he was from the Bai family, one of the five major families. If she could really be with him, she would be superior to others in the future!
So even though he was cold, she didn't show her temper as a young lady. Instead, she even showed a concerned look at this moment!
"Nothing!" Bai Beichen put down his phone and looked at her coldly. Finally, he was willing to talk to her on his own initiative. "Since you know I have someone I like, why did you still agree to go on a blind date with me?"
Chi Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then maintained her sweet smile and said, "There's nothing I can do! My family urged me to come. Fortunately, I came, or I would definitely regret it."
Even a fool could tell that she was very satisfied with him. The coldness in Bai Beichen's eyes became even more intense.
He originally planned to leave after this meal, thinking that Chi Tingwan would understand his meaning. But after seeing that message, it was impossible.
"I see." Bai Beichen showed a sarcastic smile. "I thought no one wanted you, so you were eager to marry yourself off!"
As soon as the words fell, Chi Tingwan almost couldn't maintain her expression. There was a hint of grievance in her voice.
"Mr. Bai, have I offended you? Why do you talk to me like this?"
Looking at her like this, Bai Beichen took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it very naturally. The silver - white lighter was a gift from Shen Youjin, and he always carried it with him.
Even though there were more expensive ones inlaid with jewels, he never replaced it.
He took a puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaled. "I won't beat around the bush. Miss Chi, I won't be with you. You're not my type!"
"Is this the reason for you to talk to me like this?" Chi Tingwan's lips trembled. She seemed to care a lot about his words. "Mr. Bai, even though our Chi family can't compare with the five major families, in terms of family background, education, or job, I'm better than that Miss Shen. I'm confident I can outshine her. You'll definitely fall in love with me in time!"
"I originally wanted to save you some face, but it seems you don't want it!" Bai Beichen sneered. Different from his usual obedient appearance in front of Shen Youjin, his eyes looking at her were as sharp as a blade. "Miss Chi, do you need me to introduce you to yourself again?"
Chi Tingwan's face instantly turned pale, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Bai? I don't understand!"
Bai Beichen looked at her through the hazy smoke. Her face was exquisitely made - up, and her hair was specially styled. She looked like a noble and sweet cherry.
But beneath such a beautiful appearance was a rotten heart.
"Chi Tingwan, you graduated from a famous school in Kyoto, but your degree was bought. You never attended school for a single day. You've had so many boyfriends that you can't even count them on both hands. You almost became an unwed mother last year. As for your current job, Miss Chi, you're just a neet who has a nominal job in the company!"
There was no trace of blood on Chi Tingwan's face. These were things that only her family knew. She had spent a lot of money to suppress the news of her miscarriage. How did Bai Beichen know?
"Do you still think you can compare with the person I like now?" Bai Beichen tilted his chin and exhaled a smoke ring. He squinted at her. "I won't be with you, even if your family background is clean! The only person I like is Shen Youjin. You're unworthy!"
Perhaps because the contempt in his eyes was too obvious, Chi Tingwan felt a sense of humiliation she had never felt before.
Why? How could she be inferior to a bastard daughter?
She tried hard to control her emotions, but her fingers still clenched into fists.
"Mr. Bai, you should know that Shen Youjin's mother is a murderer. Even if you're together, your children will be affected in both political reviews and job hunting!" Her lips trembled. "Otherwise, guess why Miss Shen hasn't had a reliable job for so long and can only work in such a small company?"
"I can support her!" Anger tinged Bai Beichen's voice. After saying that, he called the waiter and paid the bill directly. "Miss Chi, I don't want to see you again. Understand?"
The threat in his words was chilling. Chi Tingwan pursed her lips tightly. She had never felt so defeated in front of a man.
The initial five - point liking had now reached its peak.
"Shen Youjin?" Chi Tingwan was so angry that her chest heaved. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. "I have to go and see for myself what kind of a divine being she is, daring to steal my man!"
