Chapter 160 – Oh, so now you have a guilty conscience? (1)

Yan Shuyu’s intention wasn’t to be facetious at all. Quite the contrary, she really wanted to know what Qin Luoyi has in mind to prevent her from becoming Mrs. Zhou.

Nevertheless, from Qin Luoyi ‘s perspective, she thought that Yan Shuyu was being stubborn and didn’t care about what she had said at all. 

Qin Luoyi was very angry. She figured that now that this girl had associated herself with Boss Zhou, she was just like a dog who had its teeth sunk into a bone. There was no way to make her let go of it. 

She snickered and said, “Am I sure? Can it be more obvious? Never mind about anything else, Zhou Qinhe’s ex-wife, who is Zhou Yi’s mother; you have met Zhou Yi, right? She was a beauty in our circle. Your look might be above average among commoners, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to Zhou Qinhe’s ex-wife’s look.”

Truth be told, Qin Luoyi didn’t really think that Boss Zhou’s ex-wife was all that. At least in her mind, her daughter was the best and the perfect match for Zhou Qinhe. But, even if Boss Zhou’s ex-wife wasn’t as perfect, she was still someone out of Yan Shuyu’s league. 

That being said, Boss Zhou’s ex-wife’s look and family background were certainly impeccable, even when compared to her Yuxuan. Which was why Qin Luoyi praised her repeatedly in front of Yan Shuyu, wanting to force Yan Shuyu into backing out. 

“Not only was she the prettiest girl in our circle, she was also multi-talented and the favorite of the Lin’s. Their marriage was coined a match made in heaven. And if someone like Ms. Lin wasn’t able to hold onto the position of Mrs. Zhou, what makes you think that you will be able to?”

Hearing her describing the boss’s ex-wife like she was a fairy right out of a story book, Yan Shuyu was dumbfounded – her look was about her best trait, but she wasn’t even the prettiest woman that the boss has seen. His ex-wife was prettier and more fairy-like than she was. So… what was it that he saw in her then?

But she didn’t spend too much time mulling over that. After all, Yan Shuyu didn’t have too many feelings for the boss. At most, there was some vanity in her. Meaning that she wouldn’t experience any inferiority complex after listening to Qin Luoyi’s description. She thought of it more like listening to a story. 

The male lead’s birth mother, the boss’s ex-wife, wasn’t even mentioned in the book at all. No offense, but she had just assumed that she had died prematurely. But from what the rich woman was saying, it sounded like she had merely divorced the boss?

Now Yan Shuyu was full-on curious. “Why did Boss Zhou split with his ex-wife?”

Whatever happened to the match made in heaven?

Qin Luoyi: ……

Why did she suddenly feel that she had given her opponent a lot of information?

But she was already here. Rest be assured, she wasn’t going to call it quit now. Qin Luoyi continued working on knocking down Yan Shuyu’s confidence. She said to her coldly, “Irreconcilable differences at the end of the day. Not every woman can take that spot next to him. Do you really think he’ll marry you just because he’s somewhat interested in you right now?”

What a shame. Yan Shuyu did think that up until the point that the rich woman showed up. She assumed that the boss was courting her, so she could become the male lead’s stepmom. 

Now that she had listened to the rich woman’s analysis, Yan Shuyu suddenly realized that she had overthought this – the boss was only pursuing her because her technique was somewhat decent, and they were compatible in bed. He merely wanted a casual relationship. His family still has a very high standard. The only reason the stepmom in the novel was able to become his wife was because she had spent a lot of time and effort working on the boss and the male lead. In other words, as long as she didn’t work so hard on it, the boss would not voluntarily bring up marriage.
