Chapter 124: Sure enough, the daughter of a stepmother, how could she be anything but a fuel-efficient lamp

~7 min read 1,361 words

"Sister-in-law, I won't go home, I'll go to the guesthouse, go accompany Lu Manman, and have a good time."

Shen Man took back her gaze, suppressed the reluctance in her heart, and pulled herself together.

The serious business was done, so next, it was time for the hunting moment.

Pei Yan Ting didn't stop her, just gave her own attitude:

"Fine, remember, your safety is always in the first place."

The implication was that the other party's safety didn't matter.

As long as her sister wasn't killing someone in broad daylight, she didn't feel there was anything to be afraid of.

"Mm mm, know, sister-in-law."

Shen Man understood the subtext of her sister-in-law, her heart warm, sister-in-law is so good.

After the sister-in-law and sister separated, Pei Yan Ting returned to the hospital to work, while Shen Man walked toward the guesthouse.

And on the guesthouse side, Lu Manman had a nightmare all night!

What she dreamed of was Shen Man's dead eyes, and her husband acting like a different person, pinching her neck, asking her why she had to replace her and harm him!

So, when she went downstairs for breakfast in the morning, her eyes were blue and black, scaring many people.

Even Wang Mingkui, rarely didn't use words to mock, just ignored and stayed away.

Lu Manman prepared everything to welcome Shen Man's arrival; success or failure, it all depends on this one move!

If it succeeds, after she gets the jade pendant space, she will immediately rush back to the Capital!

Never want to come to this kind of place again, to be looked down upon!

Just when she waited for an hour, and another hour, the time reached past ten o'clock, only then did she see Shen Man...

"Manman sister, you finally came, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Manman sister, since I promised to come, I will definitely come to the appointment."

Shen Man exhaled like an orchid, her forehead had fine sweat, but she didn't look disheveled, instead making her look exceptionally charming and moving.

The faint marks on her neck foreshadowed that she had been living an exceptionally pampered life...

Lu Manman's jealousy was at work, her fingers pinched into the newly healed red and swollen wound, the pain making her reason return, and she smiled awkwardly:

"Then, let's go take the passenger ship now."

"Mm, okay, but walking is too tiring, I can't walk anymore, you wait for me at the door, I'll go in and find Wangjie to borrow a bicycle."

Shen Man nodded, proposing a reasonable suggestion.

Lu Manman squeezed out a smile and said "Mm."

After Shen Man turned and entered the guesthouse, the resentment in her eyes couldn't be hidden!

Wangjie?

Is that the receptionist at the counter?

Calling her so intimately, no wonder the other party knew about her replacing the marriage and kept targeting her; it turns out the other party was venting for Shen Man!

Damn it, she was calculated!

The Shen Man in front of her, was her scheming deep from the beginning, did she underestimate her, or...

"Manman, this step-sister of yours doesn't look like a good thing at all, be careful, don't believe her."

"Mm mm, know, Wangjie, I'm just deliberately following her wishes, wanting to see what her purpose is in coming to the Sea Island."

"That's good, come to my house as a guest when you have time, my Old Ji said brother Jiang left before, and greeted us, asking us to take care of you."

"Brother Jiang is always very careful, after I send Lu Manman away, I will go to Wangjie's house to sponge off food and drink, I hope Wangjie won't drive me away then."

"Where would I drive you away, I wish you would come to my house to move around."

Wang Mingkui laughed brightly; she just liked Shen Man, just had an eye for Shen Man!

It was just that she instinctively didn't like Lu Manman, seeing the other party made her feel physically disgusted!

She didn't know what was wrong with her, treating a pregnant woman differently.

"Oh right, Manman, this sister of yours said she is pregnant, do you know?"

"Ah?"

Shen Man looked serious; with this look, how could she look like she knew.

"I just knew it, be careful, rest assured, no matter what happens, I am on your side, protecting you."

Wang Mingkui saw this, and had a plan in her heart.

Sure enough, the daughter of a stepmother, how could she be anything but a fuel-efficient lamp.

Poor Shen Man, always being calculated.

After Shen Man got the key to the bicycle lock, she left the guesthouse under Wangjie's worried eyes.

"Manman sister, can you ride a bike to take me? I walked here, so tired."

Lu Manman's face twitched involuntarily; just this little road, what are you pretending to be tired for!

But her mouth agreed, "Of course I can."

Just like that, Shen Man sat in the back seat of the bicycle, looking innocent and harmless, affectionately calling "Manman sister, have you eaten?"

"Manman sister, is brother-in-law good to you?"

"Manman sister, you gave all your savings to compensate me, what about yourself?"

Lu Manman felt her brain buzzing; she had already suffered from severe insomnia and had a nightmare all night, and hearing the chattering voice in the back seat, she almost couldn't hold it and revealed her true colors!

"Manman, Tingchen is very good to me, very doting on me, he said that marrying me in this life is his blessing."

"My savings as compensation to you, I am willing, at most I will save slowly, nothing is more important than our sisterhood."

"Manman sister, I am so moved, you are so good to me."

"My brother also said you have heavy thoughts, let me not associate with you, my brother is just overthinking! You are so gentle and generous, this sister of yours, I have recognized!"

Shen Man complained "praising high and stepping low," telling the other party without defense how stingy her sister-in-law was, and how her brother controlled her this and that, without any freedom.

In her heart, she apologized to her brother and sister-in-law; forgive her for talking nonsense, she was just fooling Lu Manman to make her relax her guard, not really complaining.

"It's okay, they have misunderstandings about me, as long as you don't hold a grudge against me, Manman sister."

Lu Manman heard Shen Man complain about this couple, and the hesitation in her heart gradually subsided.

Shen Man seemed to be no different from her previous life.

Her brain suddenly opened up; could it be that the military officer husband was instigating and pointing behind her back, not that her IQ had improved!

Very good, very good, being able to tell her such private words meant that Shen Man had been handled by her and trusted her!

As long as the sugar-coated bullets were powerful enough, she could completely control Shen Man!

As a good sister, she just wanted a jade pendant, it wasn't too much, right? ===== CHAPTER 125 =====

Speaking of this, Shen Man puffed out her cheeks and added:

"I'm already an adult; how could I be as easily deceived as a little kid?

Watching me day in and day out, not letting me speak freely—when have I ever spoken freely?"

Amitabha, Brother Jiang Ye, don't listen to my nonsense; I'm just fooling Lu Manman to make her lower her guard, I'm not really complaining, haha.

"Is that so? Your husband really does keep you on too tight a leash."

Hearing this, Lu Manman became even more convinced that Shen Man's change wasn't due to her being reborn, but because someone was guiding her from behind; it wasn't that her intelligence had soared!

Very good, very good. Being able to tell her such private things meant that Shen Man had already been manipulated by her and trusted her!

As long as the sugar-coated bullets that followed had enough firepower, she would be able to completely control Shen Man!

As a good sister, she only wanted one jade pendant; that wasn't too much to ask, right?
