Shen Qingtong almost gave in when she saw Yuan Meng's big, flickering eyes as she pleaded. But then she thought of how deep and complex the entertainment circle was. She couldn't just indulge this innocent and cute girl!
"No way. And, you even asked Yuan Xingcheng to carry your luggage. Have you ever thought that you're filming a variety show? Every move of yours will be captured by a bunch of cameras. What if someone tries to smear you or create a scandal?
Aren't you crazy about your husband? What if he gets jealous when he sees all this?"
Shen Qingtong even brought up Ling Qianchen in an attempt to make Yuan Meng yield.
Sure enough, Yuan Meng wavered a bit when she heard the mention of her husband getting jealous. She lowered her head and seemed to be deep in thought, looking rather distressed. In fact, she was cursing in her heart: The entertainment circle is really a bottomless pit! What's wrong with asking my own grand - nephew to carry my luggage? What's wrong?
"It's okay, Sister Shen! I'll just explain it clearly to my husband later!" After saying that, Yuan Meng ran out. "Ke'er, let's go! We're going shopping for stuff for the variety show." Yan Ke'er was even more head - strong. She quickly followed Yuan Meng and ran off.
Before Shen Qingtong in the room could even react, Yuan Meng was gone. She shook her head helplessly and then had no choice but to call Ling Qianchen.
"Hello, Mr. Ling. I'm Shen Qingtong, Yuan Meng's agent. There's something I need your help with..."
Shen Qingtong briefly told Ling Qianchen what had happened. To her surprise, Ling Qianchen didn't show any displeasure or annoyance. Instead, he replied with a slight smile, "It's okay... As for Yuan Xingcheng, just let Yuan Meng do as she wishes. It's nothing for him to carry her luggage. Thank you for taking care of Yuan Meng. I'm still busy. I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingtong couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect that the relationship between Yuan Meng and Mr. Ling was so good. Mr. Ling doted on Yuan Meng so much. Little did she know that Ling Qianchen actually wanted to use Yuan Meng to teach Yuan Xingcheng a good lesson, so that he would stop pestering Ai Yue.
"Alas... I can't control Yuan Meng, and Mr. Ling doesn't care either. I can only prepare the public - relations team in advance."
Shen Qingtong felt like crying but had no tears. Miserably, she called the public - relations team alone and told them to get ready.
Now let's look at Yuan Meng and Yan Ke'er. First, they went shopping for daily necessities and bought a bunch of new things that they already had at home but still wanted to buy. After that, they went to buy food. They first bought a lot of take - away food and then strolled around the snack street, eating to their heart's content!
"Hey, Ke'er, what's being sold up ahead?" Although Yuan Meng was a rich young lady, she didn't go shopping very often and didn't know as much about the mall as Yan Ke'er did.
"Sister Mengmeng, up ahead is the most famous jewelry street in the city." As she said this, Yan Ke'er dragged Yuan Meng towards a store.
"Sister Mengmeng, come with me. I'll tell you, I love this store the most. All their jewelry is super nice!"
Yuan Meng followed Yan Ke'er into a jewelry store. The store was very big, covering an area of about 400 square meters. There were many shop assistants. As soon as people walked in, they would be greeted by a lot of them. The whole store was decorated in gray - white tones, with spotlights everywhere, showing its noble atmosphere without a doubt.
"Welcome, ladies. If you take a fancy to any item, we can introduce it to you."
Yuan Meng and Yan Ke'er nodded at the shop assistant to indicate that they wanted to look around first.
"Wow, Ke'er, this one is so nice, and that one is also great. Hehe, Ke'er, look at that pair of rings. They would look so nice on Qianchen and me."
Yuan Meng strolled slowly. While walking, she also had to maintain her innocent persona, which made her feel quite uncomfortable even when shopping.
"Sister Mengmeng, look at that sapphire necklace, the biggest one. It suits you so well!"
Yuan Meng looked in the direction Yan Ke'er was pointing. In the very center of the display window was a sapphire necklace. It was studded with diamonds all over, and in the middle was a huge sapphire, looking both elegant and noble.
"It's really beautiful. Ke'er has a good eye." Yuan Meng wasn't just maintaining her persona when she said this. She really liked this necklace. After all, what woman could resist a sapphire?
"You two ladies have really good taste. This is our latest product. The sapphire is a top - grade one newly mined in Sri Lanka. Generally, customers who come to our store will stop for a moment to take a look at it, whether they buy it or not!"
Yuan Meng rarely liked a necklace so much. She was just about to swipe her card to buy it when she suddenly remembered that she was now in the persona of an innocent girl and didn't have that much money...
She'd buy it after she took on Ai Yue's identity!
Thinking this way, Yuan Meng put the necklace back in its original place.
"Let's go, Ke'er. This necklace is too expensive. It's worth several of my movies. I'll buy it when I save enough money!"
Just as Yuan Meng was speaking, a sneering laugh suddenly interrupted her.
"Oh, where did this country bumpkin come from? Can't afford it but still comes to such a high - end store. See that store across the street? The average price there is 50. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. That's where you belong. These days, everyone wants to be a phoenix from a chicken, but a chicken is just a chicken. It'll never be able to sit on the branch!"
Yuan Meng and Yan Ke'er looked across the street following her words. There was an affordable jewelry store selling mostly silver accessories.
Yuan Meng didn't think it was worth talking to this person who was deliberately looking for trouble. Just as she was about to pull Yan Ke'er away, she saw the woman across the street take out a card from her bag and said arrogantly to the shop assistant, "Shop assistant, wrap up the necklace that this country bumpkin was just looking at. I'll take it. Country bumpkin, remember, I'm Bei Mo. Today, I'm teaching you a lesson on the difference between the superior and the inferior!"
Yuan Meng frowned. She wondered if all the rich kids these days were so ill - mannered. How did the Bei family educate their children!
"Who says we can't afford it? We saw this necklace first. I'll buy it!"
Yuan Meng looked at Yan Ke'er in surprise and saw that Yan Ke'er also took out a card from her bag and threw it on the counter.
"Ke'er? You..."
Yuan Meng's impression of Yan Ke'er was still of the girl who cried and begged her to stay. She never thought that Yan Ke'er was also a hidden little tycoon.
"Oh, I wondered who it was. So it's the one from the Yan family. You're really as low - key as ever. I didn't even notice you until you spoke."
As she said this, Bei Mo covered her mouth and laughed. Beneath her elegant posture was full of sarcasm.
"You... Humph, Bei Mo, don't think I don't know about your dirty deeds. I'm too ashamed to say it. You're so embarrassing!"
"I... I... What did I do? You'd better explain it clearly, Yan Ke'er!"
"Hehe... Bei Mo, if you've done nothing wrong, why are you so flustered? Tsk, this is not elegant at all!"
Yan Ke'er glared at Bei Mo fiercely and rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Yuan Meng stretched out her hands and squeezed between the two of them!
"Stop! I saw this necklace first. Although I said I don't have the money, my husband does!"
Yuan Meng opened her innocent rabbit - like eyes, with a glint of cunning flashing through them, but it was only for a moment before they returned to their innocent look.
Originally, Bei Mo didn't plan to say anything to Yuan Meng. After all, she didn't think much of Yuan Meng. But this seemingly innocent words from Yuan Meng made her even angrier. After all, when she wanted to marry Ling Qianchen, Ling Qianchen had rejected her on the grounds that he was already married to Yuan Meng!
