"When it comes to scumbags, of course, stay as far away as possible. Do you expect me to cry and make a scene, or even threaten to die? I'm not that foolish. As for those who betray me? I'll cut them loose without hesitation. Don't even dream of my forgiveness!" Mu Shini declared, her eyes narrowing.
In response to this, Li Xiaotian held Mu Shini in high regard!
Mu Shini, a brilliant student, possessed an outwardly indifferent and serene demeanor, yet beneath the surface lay a resilient spirit, bold enough to embrace love and hate. Her only perceived weakness was an excessive naivety!
So naive, in fact, that she fell for Ye Shaochen's honeyed words. Fortunately, Mu Shini also possessed a decisive streak of ruthlessness. Anyone who dared to betray her would be left behind without a second thought!
"I just overheard Aunt Wen on the phone mentioning that you are the Young Madam of the Bao Family? Did you truly marry into the enigmatic and esteemed Bao Family? Nian Nian, you are absolutely incredible! If Ye Shaochen and Mu Xuerou were to discover you've married into the Bao Family, they would be beside themselves with fury! Mu Xuerou, especially, would never have imagined you'd secure such an advantageous match!"
Mu Shini rested her chin on her hand, letting out a sigh of helplessness. "You're right. He is quite the catch... old, crippled, and frankly, unattractive... He had the nerve to add my name to his household register effortlessly! And I'm only 18, not even of legal age yet. How on earth did he manage that?"
"Nian Nian! Impossible! Old, unattractive, and crippled? Where did you possibly get that information?" Li Xiaotian's complexion turned ashen as she gazed at Mu Shini, utter disbelief etched on her face.
"I saw it with my own two eyes, could it be false? Before heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau, I discovered Ye Shaochen was unfaithful. So, acting on impulse and spite, I proceeded to the bureau, and who did I encounter there? An elderly gentleman..." Mu Shini recounted the scene, a shiver running down her spine at the memory, diminishing even her desire to continue the story.
Li Xiaotian countered, "Nian Nian, could you have made a mistake? The Second Young Master of the Bao Family is widely rumored to be a handsome individual!"
"Ha! That's merely gossip! I suspect everyone in the Bao Family must be so unsightly that they prefer to keep all details about themselves hidden from the outside world..." Mu Shini scoffed.
Just then, Li Xiaotian's phone vibrated.
Upon checking the message, her eyes sparkled. "Nian Nian, you are truly unfortunate! In a single day, first discovering infidelity, then marrying an old man... my heart aches for you! Let's go out and party all night! Consider it your grand farewell to single life! Shen Chengcheng has generously offered to cover all expenses as a token of his apology for his delayed return!"
...
As dusk settled, Li Xiaotian guided Mu Shini into a lavish private suite at the prestigious Qingcheng International Private Club.
Inside the room, three distinguished "Young Masters" were already in attendance.
Anyone familiar with Li Xiaotian would know of her propensity to spend lavishly, especially considering Shen Chengcheng was footing the entire bill for the evening.
However, Mu Shini surveyed the three "Young Masters" present, her brow furrowed in confusion. She stared at Li Xiaotian, questioning, "What business do they have here?"
Li Xiaotian noticed Mu Shini's perplexed expression. "Nian Nian, you don't find them appealing? Don't tell me you're still dwelling on it? These three 'Young Masters' are the most sought-after new talents at the club!"
Mu Shini bypassed Li Xiaotian's comment, instead gesturing for the three "Young Masters" to depart. She then turned back to cast a stern look at Li Xiaotian. "Be careful, your father might come after you with a stick!"
"My father is far too preoccupied with work to concern himself with my whereabouts!" Li Xiaotian replied, a hint of bitterness tinging her voice. She then added, "Alright, enough chitchat. Let's get started with some singing and drinking! Enough with the nagging!"
For a considerable time, the two friends engaged in drinking.
