I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating

Chapter 36



Chapter 36

Qin Zhen had no intention of interrupting and remained silent, staring at the mirrored wall. Here, he could see the emotions of everyone behind him. Since the divorce, he had thought that Shen Qingyue would be unable to resist reconciling with him. But he discovered that Shen Qingyue seemed to have completely rid herself of shackles. Even upon hearing that he was going to remarry, she showed no expression, not even a hint of sadness. Did she hide it so well, or had she truly let go?

The elevator doors opened, and the group maintained a distance as they walked out.

Zhang Lili spoke again, “That’s true. This matter can’t be rushed. After all, it hasn’t been long since President Qin’s divorce.”

She glanced at Shen Qingyue on purpose and continued, “Someone here is probably jealous of you. They spent ten years as a lapdog and ended up with nothing. Why let people look down on you?”

Chen Ying could not bear it any longer and turned around abruptly. “Zhang Lili! Don’t pretend to have dignity!”

Zhang Lili lifted her chin and said, “Did I say something wrong? President Qin despises her, and it’s obvious to everyone. Yet she shamelessly keeps circling around him. She even used money to separate Jiu’er and President Qin. Since you all enjoy bullying others, why can’t I speak up?”

Chen Ying had a hot temper, as evidenced by her good relationship with Shen Qingyue back in school, but before she could act, she saw Shen Qingyue suddenly turn around and pretend to swing her bag towards Zhang Lili’s side!

Zhang Lili was startled and hastily stepped back, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground, tearing a large hole in her tight-fitting pencil skirt.

“Sorry, I didn’t see someone behind me,” Shen Qingyue looked down at Zhang Lili with a sincere smile. “Are you alright?”

Zhang Lili was furious. “Shen Qingyue! You did that on purpose!”

A frosty smile appeared in Shen Qingyue’s eyes. “Yes, I did it on purpose. What can you do about it? Didn’t you think you could say whatever you wanted without any consequences? I indeed didn’t do anything to you, but you’ve received what you deserve!”

Zhang Lili pointed at Shen Qingyue and insulted her, “You’re a forsaken woman that no one wants! You…”

“Who said no one wants her?” Chi Ming walked out from behind Qin Zhen and the others, his gaze slightly cold. He arrived late due to something else, and the first thing he saw was Shen Qingyue being bullied. He approached her, embracing her waist, and looked coldly at Zhang Lili. “With her family background and appearance, even after the divorce, there will still be plenty of men begging for her. To be someone nobody wants, I think that phrase is more compatible with you!”

Zhang Lili was rendered speechless by anger. Apart from her current disheveled appearance, even if she were not disheveled, she and Shen Qingyue were not on the same level.

At this moment, Wei Jiu’er finally spoke up, trying to mediate. “We’re all old classmates; let’s not spoil the atmosphere.”

Chi Ming smiled and said, “Wei Miss, you’re still the same as before, always trying to play the peacemaker after the argument is over. Being ridiculed by everyone, your image as the pure and innocent one is truly remarkable.”

A trace of fracture almost appeared in Wei Jiu’er’s gentle and kind?mask. Chi Ming was here to undermine her! She pretended to be wronged and said, “Did someone tell you something that caused a misunderstanding about me?”

“Alright, it’s useless to act pitiful in front of me. Go and pretend with the person next to you! He’s stupid and blind, and he’ll fall for your act. After all, no one wants you.” With that, Chi Ming ignored them and turned to Shen Qingyue. “Let’s go.”

Shen Qingyue nodded and called Chen Ying, leaving without looking back.

Wei Jiu’er wanted to explain to Qin Zhen that she was not what Chi Ming described, but when she turned her head, she saw Qin Zhen staring intently at Chi Ming’s hand placed on Shen Qingyue’s waist, his gaze dark.

Wei Jiu’er clenched her fists.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Ying praised Chi Ming, saying, “You’ve become quite skilled at dealing with people after traveling for so many years! Where have you been? Give me some recommendations so that I can go too, and I won’t be at a disadvantage next time.”

Chi Ming laughed and replied, “Do you really need to travel? Your martial prowess is more than enough.”

Chen Ying was speechless.

Suddenly, Shen Qingyue stopped walking.

Chi Ming also stopped and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you drop something?”

Shen Qingyue leisurely replied, “Your hand.”

Chi Ming reluctantly withdrew his hand. He was discovered so quickly. He had originally planned to take advantage of this situation to hug her.

On Monday morning, there was a board meeting, and it did not take long for an old figure to challenge Shen Qingyue.

“Miss Shen, I heard that you persuaded Mr. Shen to agree to your participation in Project Suburb One and even plan to build a building there? Who are you going to sell it to in such a remote location? I disagree with investing in the suburbs.” Zhao, who was aligned with Shen Yiyue’s side, spoke.

He could only benefit financially by sticking with Shen Yiyue, as Shen Yiyue was foolish, self-righteous, and easy to control. When Shen Jun passed away, dealing with Shen Yiyan would be a piece of cake, and then Zhao’s family’s group would take over.

During this short period, he had been keeping a close eye on Shen Qingyue. Although he did not see her as much of a threat, just the fact that she was Shen Jun’s legitimate granddaughter meant he could not let her smoothly execute projects!
