At that moment, Wei Jiu’er’s voice came from the staircase. “Qin Zhen, I finally found you…” Her expression was filled with delight, but it froze in the next second.

Seeing Wei Jiu’er approaching, Qin Zhen finally let go of Shen Qingyue. “Why are you here?”

“I’ve been looking for you,” Wei Jiu’er said, glancing at Shen Qingyue with a touch of resentment. Why does this wicked woman keep haunting them?

Qin Zhen walked over to Wei Ju’er’s side. “Go downstairs.”

However, Shen Qingyue spoke up, “Wei Jiu’er! I advise you to keep a close eye on your man. Don’t let him out like a rabid dog, biting randomly. After all, when Qin Zhen and I were married, he was always thinking about you. Who can guarantee that he only has you in his heart now? So be careful and don’t blame others when you see him with other women. Remember, once unfaithful, always unfaithful.”

Wei Jiu’er’s fingers curled into her palms, and her sharp nails almost pierced through her skin. She forced a smile, saying, “I believe Qin Zhen has always had only me in his heart…”

Shen Qingyue smiled and said, “Then I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.”

Qin Zhen’s face darkened, and he told Wei Jiu’er, “Don’t waste time talking to her. Let’s go.”

He glanced back at Shen Qingyue, then forcefully pulled Wei Jiu’er away. Shen Qingyue sneered, “Who was the one rushing to talk nonsense? Nuts!” After the two left, Chi Ming lowered her gaze. “Are you upset seeing them so affectionate?”

“A bit.”

Chi Ming asked casually, but his face darkened when he heard Shen Qingyue’s response.

Then, she continued, “Because murder is a crime, and I’m so upset I’m going to die! This despicable man, is he sick? Why does he have to disgust you when you’re in a good mood?”

She went to change her shoes, not wanting to waste any more time because of the trash. She could not help but think about how she used to like that garbage so much that she wished she could kill herself.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ming smiled helplessly.

When Shen Qingyue came out of the dressing room, she did not know when Chi Ming had already left, leaving the gift she was supposed to pass on to Shen Jun. She carried the gift box downstairs and handed it to Shen Jun. “Grandfather, this is the birthday gift Chi Ming asked me to give you.”

Shen Jun took the gift bag and said, “Chi Ming came too? Why didn’t he come to say hello to me?”

“He had something to take care of, so he left first,” Shen Qingyue casually made up an excuse. “Do you like the gift?”

Shen Jun took out the box and saw the rosary beads inside, he nodded with

satisfaction. “This child is considerate.”

Shen Qingyue smiled and was about to say something when she felt nauseous again.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ming smiled helplessly.

When Shen Qingyue came out of the dressing room, Chi Ming had already left at some point, leaving behind the gift he wanted her to pass on to Shen Jun. She brought the gift box downstairs and handed it to Shen Jun. “Grandfather, this is the birthday gift that Chi Ming asked me to give you.”

Shen Jun took the gift bag and said, “Chi Ming came too? Why didn’t he come and greet me?”

“He had something to attend to, so he left early,” Shen Qingyue casually made up an excuse. “Do you like the gift?”

Shen Jun took out the box, saw the prayer beads, and was very pleased. “This child is thoughtful.”

Shen Qingyue smiled, about to say something when she was interrupted by Shen Qingxue’s sarcasm.

“Qingyue, your friend gave such a shabby thing? Looks like a roadside item.”

Just as she finished speaking, Madam Wang, who had greeted Shen Qingyue earlier, walked over. Seeing the prayer beads in Shen Jun’s hands, she was slightly surprised. “Aren’t these the prayer beads from Nanshan Temple?” Shen Qingxue frowned. “What’s that? Could it be a scam?”

Her words not only darkened Shen Jun’s face, but also displeased Madam Wang. She often went to Nanshan Temple to meditate, believing in the karma described in Buddhist scriptures. Now, hearing Shen Qingxue casually call Nanshan Temple a scam, she naturally felt unhappy. “Nanshan Temple is an ancient temple with a history of thousands of years and a rich cultural heritage. Miss Shen, how can you casually call it a scam? Don’t you have any common sense?”

Shen Qingxue sneered. “So what if it has a long history? How much can a string of beads be worth? If Grandfather likes it, I’ll go buy two more too.”

Madam Wang’s voice turned cold. “These prayer beads are not something you can buy just because you want to. They are rare and only bestowed upon those with fate. Countless people have climbed the mountain to seek these prayer beads, but returned empty-handed. Someone like you, who only knows material desires, could never obtain them.”

Shen Qingxue wanted to argue further, but Shen Yiyuan grabbed her and then

put on a smile. “Nlaaam wang, Granaratner, Qingxue IS still young ana aoesn’t understand. Please forgive her.”

Everyone attending Shen Jun’s birthday banquet came from prestigious backgrounds, and now Shen Yiyuan really wished he could stuff this foolish sister back into their mother’s womb. Did she come into this world without a brain? You can deal with anyone, but you can’t just openly confront them like this.

“Understood. Go home and read more books and speak less,” Madam Wang’s face looked unsightly. It had been many years, and she had never seen someone who could not read the situation like this.

Shen Qingxue was even more unwilling. “It’s just a string of worthless beads…”

Shen Qingyue looked at her and said, “You speak soo much, did you prepare an even better gift?”

“Of course!” Shen Qingxue looked smug. “A few days ago, Grandfather and I went to the auction house specifically, and I picked a piece of official kiln porcelain for Grandfather.. It cost over five million! It’s definitely better than this shabby string of beads!”
