Chapter 158: Who Is Being Set Up? It's Hard to Say

~9 min read 1,647 words

She wanted to crawl up from the ground, but when she looked up, she discovered that the person who had just given her the mirror was Shi Youxuan!

Shi Youxuan stood before her, looking down from above. Jiang Siwei was too obese, so as she scrambled up and knelt on one knee, the posture looked as if she were performing a grand kowtow to her.

"Why is it you?"

Jiang Siwei scrambled up quickly, with incredible speed.

To her, losing face in front of anyone else didn't matter, but she absolutely could not lose face in front of Shi Youxuan.

She stood up and even tried hard to stand on tiptoe, only to find she was still more than half a head shorter than Shi Youxuan.

Since she couldn't win on height, she could only try to suppress the other party with her aura. Jiang Siwei widened her mung-bean-sized eyes, put her hands on her hips, and said to Shi Youxuan, "What are you here for? You're here to see me make a fool of myself, aren't you? Let me tell you, Shi Youxuan, in love, the one who isn't loved is the third party. Why you married the eldest young master of the Sheng Family in the first place—others might not know, but I know it clearly."

It seemed she wanted to spill some inside information?

Those watching the spectacle naturally listened intently, and Shi Youxuan didn't stop her, so Jiang Siwei continued smoothly: "Back then, my cousin Yuke thought the eldest young master of the Sheng Family was a Xiazi. She didn't want him, so she used you to take her place, and you took a huge advantage. Now that the eldest young master of the Sheng Family's eyes are healed, you shouldn't be so thick-skinned as to keep the title of Mrs. Sheng. Give it up; you aren't worthy of him."

"Oh? Since you think I'm not worthy, then who is? You?" Shi Youxuan remained unhurried and unbothered, but she was secretly setting a trap for her, only Jiang Siwei didn't hear it.

If this had been before her confession, Jiang Siwei would certainly have taken the bait shamelessly, saying that only she was worthy of Sheng Hanyu!

But she had just been rejected after confessing, and not only rejected, she had also fallen to the ground and hadn't been able to crawl up for a long time.

Even if Jiang Siwei had no brains, she couldn't say it was herself at this moment. Her eyes rolled, and she blurted out: "Of course it's my cousin Shi Yuke. She is much better than you. My cousin Yuke is the number one beauty in Jiangzhou; you are just a fool..."

The one who said that was the real fool.

Everyone in Jiangzhou now knew that Shi Youxuan had previously been pretending to be a fool, but they didn't know why she had pretended. Versions of Shi Youxuan pretending to be a fool had long been a topic of gossip, but after several versions had spread, none had been confirmed as true or false.

However, the meaning in Jiang Siwei's words sounded as if she were about to spill inside information.

People listened quietly, and Shi Youxuan didn't stop her. Jiang Siwei became more and more spirited as she spoke: "Since you were little, you had to watch my cousin's face. If she didn't give you food, you had to go hungry. If she didn't let you sleep in the room, you had to sleep on the street. Did you dare to disobey back then? Now, why do you deserve to live better than my cousin?"

"My aunt raised you for so many years; even if there's no credit, there's hard work. So what if she took some of your biological parents' compensation money? She raised you for nothing all these years? You ungrateful wretch, she just had people kidnap you to teach you a small lesson, and look at how you scared my aunt so much she didn't even dare to go home..."

Everyone gasped; so this was the kind of life Shi Youxuan lived when she was at the Shi Family?

No wonder she pretended to be a fool; without pretending, just surviving would probably have been a luxury.

Shi Youxuan looked askance with her eyes and didn't speak, listening quietly as she "righteously" stood up for Jiang Yadan and her daughter. She didn't feel she was wrong at all, and just like that, she spilled everything Jiang Yadan had tried so hard to hide!

Shi Yuke had originally been watching the spectacle, but the more she watched, the more alarmed she became. She couldn't care about anything else, pushed through the crowd, rushed into the circle, and angrily confronted Jiang Siwei: "Are you here to wreck the place? You can't stand to see us sisters getting along, so you're trying to sow discord, right?"

"Jiang Siwei, stop spouting nonsense here. No one will believe your lies. Our sisterly relationship and our mother-daughter relationship are both very good; it's not something you can change with a few words from your red lips and white teeth."

"Also, Sheng Hanyu is my brother-in-law. I have no thoughts about him at all. I am a married woman and only love my own husband."

Shi Yuke's brain was much sharper than her cousin's. Even if she thought that way in her heart, she wouldn't say it out loud; she only said pretty things.

Jiang Siwei was anxious: "Cousin, how can you be like this? These words were all things you told me. Why are you denying them now?"

She meant that Shi Yuke should still be like before, bullying Shi Youxuan together. They had always done that, but Jiang Siwei ignored that the occasion was wrong.

Back then, the people watching were just a few neighborhood kids, but now these were all the socialites of Jiangzhou's high society!

She didn't care about her reputation, but Shi Yuke still did.

Shi Yuke wished she could plug her mouth. Stop spouting nonsense! She now regretted why she had brought this woman here.

She tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice; she had originally wanted to annoy Shi Youxuan, but instead, Jiang Siwei's every word annoyed her.

Those things that could never be brought to the table were all spilled out by her big mouth.

With so many people present, it wasn't easy for her to give Jiang Siwei a look, and even if she did, given her IQ, she might not necessarily understand it.

"I never said that to you. I never said anything to you. I don't get along with you either, so stop slandering me here." Shi Yuke darkened her face and pulled and dragged to get Jiang Siwei out, telling her to get lost.

Of course, she wasn't willing. She had finally had a chance to see the eldest young master of the Sheng Family. If she left now, she didn't know when she would see him next.

Jiang Siwei didn't want to leave, so Shi Youxuan obliged her.

She had the bodyguards separate the two, then said to Shi Yuke: "Sister, don't be in such a hurry to chase people away. I just happen to want to ask why Mom was hiding from me during the ten days from October 20th to May 1st?"

"Sister, please, can you let me explain this to you later? Dad's health isn't good. Even if you don't care about others, you have to consider how good Dad has been to you. You can't make him anxious, can you?"

Shi Yuke was very smart and knew who to bring up to be effective at this moment.

Shi Youxuan wouldn't be afraid of her threats. She knew Shi Yuke wouldn't tell their father; their father living well was the guarantee for her and her mother, and since Shi Yuke wouldn't tell, she wasn't afraid of their father finding out through other channels.

"Let's go, let's talk privately, sisters."

Shi Youxuan took Shi Yuke's arm and went to the side to "negotiate," while Jiang Siwei, who had lost her utility value, was thrown out of the hotel by the bodyguards!

The cocktail party ended.

When Shi Yuke walked out of the hotel, her expression wasn't good. If she had been forcing a smile and keeping up appearances just now, there was no need to continue pretending now that there was no one by her side.

The car was right in front; she prepared to go to the Jiang Family to settle accounts with Jiang Siwei.

In front of so many people, the image she had worked so hard to build was completely ruined, and the matter of her mother masterminding the kidnapping had been spilled out—a matter she had just paid a huge price to settle.

The loss was huge; even if she sold Jiang Siwei, she couldn't afford it!

"Shi Yuke, you're finally out! I've been waiting here for you for a long time!" Jiang Siwei jumped out from a corner, glaring at her angrily: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You did it on purpose to make me make a fool of myself in front of so many people?"

Although Jiang Siwei was slow-witted, even a slow brain could figure it out after turning a few times.

She had been thrown out of the hotel by the bodyguards, and as the cold wind outside blew—she suddenly felt that the Invitation her cousin had given her had been very sudden.

Ever since Shi Yuke married into a wealthy family, she hadn't bothered with her anymore. She wouldn't even come out when she took the initiative to call and invite her to eat or go shopping, and then she suddenly gave her an Invitation to attend today's cocktail party, and even taught her to say a lot of things...
