Chapter 1122: Wicked people are dealt with by other wicked people

"Then give me a little more time."

Shen Ci didn't rush to answer. After all, this wasn't child's play, and she had to think about it carefully.

Hearing this, Wan Hu nodded gently and said in a gentle tone: "No rush."

At the foot of the mountain, the two said goodbye and drove away separately.

It was already seven in the evening when Shen Ci returned home, and her family was waiting for her to eat.

"Sister, why are you only back now?" A-Li greeted her from the door: "Uncle has already finished making ten dishes!"

"The roads are slippery in winter, so I drove a bit slowly."

As she spoke, she had already entered the house. The old lady ran over impatiently to ask about the situation.

"A-Ci, is your uncle all settled? How is it? Can he do the work?"

"Everything is settled, don't worry, Grandma. The food there is good, and the living conditions are good. Just let him get used to it."

Hearing Shen Ci say this, the old lady finally felt relieved: "Oh my, that's good, that's good!"

The next day, Shen Ci went straight to a bookstore. Based on books about metaphysics she had looked up online, she bought several of the most classic ones.

It wasn't for anything else; she had to test whether she could read them and whether she would be interested in this kind of knowledge.

She couldn't just impulsively decide to learn; what if she couldn't grasp it? Wouldn't that be offensive?

After buying the books, Shen Ci went to the "Henglong Plaza." She had pre-ordered new clothes at Chanel and took the opportunity to pick them up.

As it turned out, the moment she stepped into the store, she saw an acquaintance.

Lin Biqi was trying on a bag accompanied by a sales associate, looking beautiful in the mirror, but she also saw Shen Ci appearing behind her through the reflection.

A flash of surprise crossed her eyes, but it was only for an instant before she turned around gracefully, looked at Shen Ci, and raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Shen Ci? Long time no see!"

It was no longer the tone of someone who wanted to tear her apart the moment she saw her; with this greeting, someone who didn't know better would think they were very familiar friends.

Shen Ci's expression was even more indifferent. She had already seen that Lin Biqi had changed, but only now, facing her directly, did she more intuitively feel how great that change was.

As expected of someone who had endured humiliation and laid low for two years, she was now very good at hiding her emotions, leaving no flaws in her personality for others to see.

But Shen Ci knew what this person's true colors were; no matter how well she hid, she had nowhere to escape in front of her.

"To you, it's been a long time, but to me, it doesn't count."

Shen Ci spoke with implication, then looked left and right, and asked deliberately: "What? Shopping alone? Li Xiao isn't accompanying you?"

In the past, Lin Biqi would have already erupted. But now, Li Xiao's status in her heart wasn't much stronger than it was in Shen Ci's. She curled her lips indifferently: "True, you should have seen that news long ago."

"Li Xiao went abroad to study; he still has some coursework to complete."

Shen Ci looked at her and said: "Then I must congratulate you, for getting what you wanted, finally being with Li Xiao, and having a baby."

"Yes, in the end, I won." Lin Biqi tilted her head, revealing the posture of a victor.

Shen Ci smiled: "Making yourself look so disheveled, and even causing the Li Group to lose three layers of skin—do you also feel that you won in such a scene?"

Lin Biqi also smiled: "Regardless, the result is that Li Xiao and I are together, not you."

"Because I never wanted to fight for him in the first place. From the moment you entered Ke-Da and saw me, he and I had already broken up. The current result, the victory in your eyes, is all a baseless battle you imagined; there was never an enemy in front of you."

Just then, the store manager hurried over: "Ms. Shen, you're here. I'm sorry, I just went to the restroom. The clothes are all packed for you. There are two new bags that just arrived in the store; would you like to go to the lounge to rest for a moment while I bring them for you to see?"

Shen Ci looked at the manager with a smile: "Next time. Just give me the clothes."

"Yes, yes."

Lin Biqi didn't show anger at Shen Ci's words, but her clenched fists and nails digging into her flesh revealed her extreme forbearance at this moment.

She hated Shen Ci; the hatred had never diminished.

Because when that incident happened, Shen Ci was standing between her and Li Xiao, and it was also when Li Xiao was at his most confused.

So she felt that Shen Ci could not escape responsibility for her current situation, the hardships and dishevelment she had experienced.

After getting the clothes, Shen Ci turned to leave, but before she left, she looked at Lin Biqi and said: "Actually, it's quite good that you two are married. Although I was surprised, I am also happy for you from the bottom of my heart."

Lin Biqi curled the corners of her mouth, bracing her last bit of pride.

But she heard Shen Ci say the next sentence: "After all, wicked people are dealt with by other wicked people."

Having said that, Shen Ci turned elegantly and left, carrying her things.

Lin Biqi bit her back molars hard, her entire aura freezing, scaring the sales associate nearby so much that she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Swipe the card. I want everything I tried on today," Lin Biqi waved her hand and threw a card to the sales associate.

It was Li Xiao's card!

The Li family.

Two top-tier gold-medal maternity matrons were already in place. At this moment, the baby had just woken up and finished his business, and Mrs. Li was teasing him.

Ever since they had the matrons, things regarding the baby were truly much more worry-free and effortless. Mrs. Li didn't have to worry about coaxing him to sleep every day; she just had to play with her grandson.

"Yaoyao, look at the toy Grandma bought for you. Do you like it?"

"Look, he's smiling."

The nanny nearby accompanied them and said upon seeing this: "Madam, the baby's complexion has been getting better and better lately. His little face is white with a rosy tint, he's eating more, and he's sleeping soundly."

"Indeed," Mrs. Li was happy: "These matrons are truly amazing; as expected, only the best will do."

The nanny took the opportunity to claim credit: "Oh my, it was so hard to find them. I had to ask a friend, and that friend asked another friend, just to book them from 'Chuyue'."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a big red envelope as a bonus at the end of the month!"

When the nanny heard this, she smiled with satisfaction. Mrs. Li was always generous, and this bonus definitely wouldn't be small.

At this moment, a sound came from the entrance. When Mrs. Li heard it, the smile on her face instantly vanished.

At this time, it must be Lin Biqi returning from being out.

Picking up the child and turning her head, she saw Lin Biqi walking in with a pile of luxury shopping bags, her face expressionless.

Mrs. Li immediately glared: "How much stuff did you buy?"

Lin Biqi looked indifferent, casually throwing those bags aside, and ordered the nanny: "Help me carry them back to my room."

The nanny didn't dare not to; after all, she was the young mistress of the house. Hearing this, she glanced at Mrs. Li's expression, but still stepped forward to do as she was told.

Mrs. Li, holding the baby, could only deliberately lower her voice and say with dissatisfaction: "You went out early in the morning just to go shopping? You bought so much stuff at once? Do you know that the family group is not doing well right now?"
