Chapter 167: She Has Returned to Snatch Her Brother-in-Law

Seeing Chu Yu's arrogant and overbearing yet cowardly and weak demeanor, Qin Shu paused slightly.

Truly, she is both incompetent and loves to play games.

She can neither out-argue nor out-fight Qin Shu, yet every time, she is used as a pawn by others to provoke her.

She is stupid, and her limbs are uncoordinated to boot.

Qin Shu raised her hand to pull out a tissue, swept a faint glance at Chu Sheng, wiped her sleeve, tossed it into the trash can, and walked out in her high heels.

Chu Sheng stood there, maintaining her noblewoman's posture; she stood there without needing to lift a finger, merely moving her mouth to have others charge into the fray for her.

Watching Qin Shu's departing back, Chu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Ji Yanli?"

"Qin Shu, have you been with Ji Yanli for these past four years?"

Chu Sheng could not fathom it; why did she disappear when Gu Tingyan felt the most guilt toward her? What was her intention? Did she want Tingyan to remember her for the rest of his life?

Back then, Qin Shu was incredibly popular in the entertainment industry, a household name, yet she had staged a fake death without a word and vanished from the public eye.

What was even more absurd was that despite having no background or connections, the police had actually issued a death certificate, proving that Qin Shu had indeed died in that sea of fire.

With the video and the official certificate, everyone was convinced, and Chu Sheng had no doubt that she was truly dead.

What kind of power did Qin Shu possess to be able to mobilize the authorities to cover for her?

This was Chu Sheng's purpose today.

Qin Shu's sudden return after four years made Chu Sheng panic; Qin Shu was like a ticking time bomb, shrouded in mystery, making it impossible for anyone to see her true face.

But what Chu Sheng was certain of was that Qin Shu had returned to take revenge on them.

Chu Sheng was not afraid of what Qin Shu might do; the people who should have been punished for the events of that year had been punished, the dead were dead, and all the evidence pointed to her having nothing to do with it.

Furthermore, Qin Shu had no background or connections, and returning to the entertainment industry would only make her a has-been; Chu Sheng was not afraid of her retaliation.

She was only afraid that Qin Shu wouldn't retaliate.

That way, Chu Sheng wouldn't be able to catch her in a trap and send her away.

But with Ji Yanli by Qin Shu's side, she was not easy to deal with.

Ji Yanli's status was not simple, and Qin Shu was a divorced woman who had even given birth to a child.

Chu Sheng did not believe that a man as gentle, elegant, and suave as Ji Yanli would take a fancy to Qin Shu; at most, he was just playing around.

In a high-status family like the Ji Family, and with Ji Yanli being the only son, the Ji Family would not allow him to marry a divorced woman who had a child.

Especially a woman from the bottom of society trying to cling to the powerful.

It is not easy to enter a wealthy family; if a Western Cinderella can attract a prince and marry into royalty, it is because Cinderella was born into a wealthy family to begin with.

Qin Shu had spent so many years in the Gu Family living a life of misery, and Lin Jingshu had always looked down on her as a daughter-in-law.

She knew better than anyone that life in a wealthy family might look luxurious, but it was actually hard to endure.

Yet, just thinking about how intimate and close Qin Shu and Ji Yanli were, a wave of discomfort, mixed with a bit of jealousy, crossed Chu Sheng's heart.

Ji Yanli used to treat her with courtesy, pay close attention to her, and even have a favorable impression of her—he liked her.

She didn't know when it started, but Ji Yanli had begun to keep his distance, becoming increasingly cold toward her.

Hearing this, Qin Shu curled her lips and looked back at Chu Sheng with a sneer: "Miss Chu, what does this have to do with you?"

"You're already engaged, yet you're still looking at what's in the bowl while eating from the pot?"

Qin Shu smiled slightly: "Does Gu Tingyan know you're so fickle?"

Chu Sheng's expression shifted slightly as she looked coldly at Qin Shu.

Hearing the sound of Qin Shu leaving, Chu Yu opened her eyes, knowing she had been played again.

Once Chu Sheng finished asking her questions and heard Qin Shu's reply, she turned to Qin Shu in a fit of shame and anger: "Stop slandering my sister!"

"Qin Shu, did you know my brother-in-law was coming to this event today?"

"Is that why you begged President Ji to bring you in?"

Chu Yu crossed her arms and looked coldly at Qin Shu: "Let me tell you, Gu Tingyan is already engaged to my sister; he is my true brother-in-law."

Chu Yu knew that Qin Shu was Chu Xuanming's daughter, but in her heart, she had never acknowledged Qin Shu.

In her heart, only Chu Sheng was her own sister, born of the same mother.

As for Qin Shu, she was an enemy they all treated the same.

She was an illegitimate daughter who would compete with them for their inheritance in the future! Nominally, she was still Chu Xuanming's daughter, Chu Yu's half-sister.

But this sister—her father didn't acknowledge her, and their whole family had never treated Qin Shu as family.

Chu Yu warned Qin Shu: "You are a homewrecker for coming between my brother-in-law and my sister."

Qin Shu had disappeared without a word back then, and now, after four years, she had returned on such an important day as her sister's engagement party.

In Chu Yu's eyes, Qin Shu was doing it on purpose.

She wanted to seduce Gu Tingyan and attract his attention.

She wanted to prevent Gu Tingyan and Chu Sheng from getting engaged; Qin Shu wanted to take revenge and snatch her brother-in-law away from Chu Sheng.

Qin Shu turned back, her gaze suddenly shifting to Chu Yu, and she pointed at her head, saying coldly: "You're a doctor too; go see a neurologist when you have time."

"See if you're mentally disabled."

After saying this, Qin Shu walked away in her high heels; hearing Qin Shu indirectly call her a mentally disabled person with brain problems, Chu Yu was so angry that her delicate features twisted.

Watching Qin Shu leave, Chu Yu grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she turned to Chu Sheng: "Sister! Look at her!"

Chu Yu's eyes were red with anger: "After so many years, her mouth is still as vicious as ever."

"Sister, can you drive her out of Beijing?"

"Otherwise, she will definitely try to snatch your brother-in-law."

Chu Sheng's expression turned cold, and hearing the noisy chatter of Chu Yu in her ear, she looked impatient: "Shut up."

"Useless trash."

Chu Yu immediately dared not speak; she had been scolded, but she didn't dare to talk back, standing there looking aggrieved.

Chu Sheng gave her a look of disdain: "Rest assured, she won't be triumphant for long."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu was instantly delighted and stepped forward to hook her arm into Chu Sheng's: "Sister, it would be best if you could make her never dare to come to Beijing again for the rest of her life!"

Chu Yu laughed: "Without the protection of Brother Tingyan, isn't it a piece of cake for you to toy with her?"

Chu Sheng lowered her eyes and gave a cold, sinister smile; as long as Qin Shu stayed in Beijing, she truly felt very uneasy.

As long as Qin Shu was there for a day, Gu Tingyan would surely pine for her for a day.

The best method was to make her disappear from this world forever.

It would be best if she died thoroughly and could never return to Beijing again.

Watching Chu Sheng's cold, sinister expression, Chu Yu stood to the side and suddenly shivered, feeling nothing but fear.

When Qin Shu came out, she saw Gu Huaiyuan, Lin Jingshu, and Chu Xuanming surrounding Ji Yanli and chatting, and while speaking, they inadvertently began to probe into Lynn's background.
