Chapter 657: Battle Between The Ladies
Lin Chuxue followed Elder Ye as they went around the banquet and toasted at more than a hundred tables. Of course, the ones they toasted had to drink all the wine up, while Elder Ye and Lin Chuxue didn’t need to do so; they couldn’t or else they wouldn’t be able to make it to so many tables.
Lin Chuxue found that a woman from a certain table was rather interesting.
She was around the sa age
as her, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old with a straight bob-cut to
the shoulders, and she looked very neat and beautiful.
Lin Chuxue was sure she had never seen this woman before, but she felt hostility from this woman’s eyes.
It was an inexplicable hostility, which could only be detected between won with their sixth sense.
When she saw that this woman was sitting at the table that belonged to the Xing Family, Lin Chuxue imdiately guessed that she should be the granddaughter that Elder Xing was talking about.
“This is the first ti since childhood that a man has rejected .” After she ca over to make a toast with Lin Chuxue, her gaze subconsciously landed on Xu Cheng, who was sitting with the elderly. She sounded confident and said self-assuredly, “But I think it’s because he doesn’t know well enough, or more like he hasn’t t yet.”
Having said that, she then turned to Lin Chuxue, and their eyes t with a kind of hostility as she said, “You’re even more beautiful than I thought you were.”
“Thank you.” Lin Chuxue accepted her complint.
“But do you think that beauty is everything?” she suddenly changed her attitude and asked Lin Chuxue directly.
She then continued, “I’ve read your profile, a talented girl with musical strength and acting skills side by side. However, soone like you who is used to going out and being served by assistants, do you know how to take care of a man?”
When Lin Chuxue understood
what was behind her words, she smiled and did not want to escalate the
situation; because it was to be an elegant confrontation between the two.
“How should I address you?”
“My na is Xing Zhener. As my na suggests, I work with criminal investigation. You don’t need to introduce yourself, investigating you is also part of my job,” Xing Zhener said straightforwardly.
Strong character!
That was one of the first impressions Lin Chuxue had thought about this woman upon their first conversation, and she was decisive, forthright, yet sharp, as if she was examining a criminal.
“Miss Xing seems to have so opinions about ?”
“Do I?” Xing Zhener did not deny it. “Perhaps, but I just want to see what kind of woman can make Xu Cheng reject a woman like with such a good family background. To be honest, ever since childhood, the number of people coming to my family to propose marriage could crush the doorstep, but I have never really t a man who would reject and did not even take a look at properly when I took the initiative to court him instead.”
“Actually, I can answer this question in place of my husband.” Lin Chuxue smiled. “It’s not to say that there are n in the world who are more capable and more handso than my husband, but even if they co after , I won’t even look at them in the right eye. The reason being the sa, because a lover’s eyes can’t tolerate a trace of sand.”
Xing Zhener: “That’s why I’m wondering, which quality of yours attracted him to be willing to give up such a wonderful opportunity? Honestly, if he was willing to marry , he could move up the ranks in this country from his current position, and with as his companion, he could be very successful. I wonder if you’re acting with him as well? You’re the one who’s won the best actress award.”
“No wonder you’re working in criminal investigation, you have a big imagination. However, there’s one thing I need to tell you: where do you think acting cos from? Life is like a play, and a play is like life. An old actor once said, when you can’t cry and can’t act, there’s nothing to teach, but they can only try to try to manually bring you into the situation to get you engaged. How can soone be truly engaged? That would be to slap you in the face and make you cry for real. Only when you experience pain, you’ll be able to cry; and similarly, only under the sa touching situation will the acting be natural. My acting all cos from what happened to and my life, and all of that has to do with my husband.”
“Miss Xing, I know that your self-esteem received a blow in this rejection, but I want to tell you that Xu Cheng may not be suitable for you.” Lin Chuxue continued, “Perhaps you are better than in all aspects, and you co from a decent family, and perhaps you could help Xu Cheng in politics, social status, and literatures, so that’s why you have questioned on this point, but there is one thing that I have and no one else has.”
Xing Zhener: “What is it?”
“A thorough understanding of Xu Cheng.” Lin Chuxue had an elegant and confident smile. “I have experienced the darkness of his childhood and the up and downs of his life. It has been a rough ride, so only I understand what he wants. You’re right, I don’t have your resources to give him anything more, but what you can offer him, he is able to fight for that himself and he will get what he wants. In fact, he does not need his woman to be strong, nor for her to be thoughtful in every way; who he wants is just soone who can understand him and appreciate everything he does. That at tis when things quiet down, there’s a woman who will listen to his stories.”
Xing Zhener stared at Lin
Chuxue for a long ti and finally spoke up, “Grandpa told that you’re
not as simple as you look. After seeing you today, I’ve certainly
underestimated you, you’re not just a pretty vase.”
Lin Chuxue smiled and held
up her glass as she followed Elder Ye to the next table.
After Xing Zhener sat down,
her naïve sister sneered. “What are you doing talking to her like that?
They’re already married, and you’re the third party with a reason?”
Xing Zhener glared at her
own sister. “Do you think I’m that shaless? This is a matter of dignity,
I was so ruthlessly rejected for the first ti. That Xu Cheng did not even
look at , he didn’t even know who Xing Zhener was and he refused . His
behavior and attitude were also saying that there was no room for discussion.
As soone’s who’s part of the act, it would not be a smart move if I was to
confront him. So, what is the most clever technique? It’s to compare with his
wife and crush her down comprehensively, making this man feel that who he cares
about is inferior to ! That’s the smartest way to counter the humiliation.
What do you know, kid?”
“I don’t know
what’s going on in your criminal investigation brain.” Her sister said,
“So did you just win or lose?”
Xing Zhener coughed.
“What do you think? Of course, no win nor lose.”
anwhile, Xing Zhener’s father took a sip of white wine and smiled slightly. “You went to humiliate her, but instead you were told by Miss Lin that you don’t know how to love. You haven’t lost yet? Your IQ is high, but your EQ isn’t enough to step on Miss Lin.”
“Dad!” Xing Zhener called out angrily.
Her sister: “This is the most embarrassing fight I’ve seen with a third wheel losing to the real wife. You should’ve not jumped out at all and continued being a stranger, really.”
