Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Conflict

Hearing the voice, Wan Chu’er lowered her eyes, suppressing the fluctuations in her heart, and slowly turned around.

Shen Qian was wearing a white shirt with a neatly cut chic gray blazer on top, and the simplest blue jeans. Her hair was tied up high, giving her a brisk and valiant appearance.

Her movements were also sharp and agile, embodying the essence of a military personnel.

Indeed, Shen Qian was a soldier, which gave her the opportunity to interact with Jiang Kechu, and it was because of this that she became thoroughly impressed by, and subsequently fell in love with, Jiang Kechu.

Unfortunately, Jiang Kechu never harbored any romantic feelings towards her.

So before Wei Feng and after Wan Chu’er, there was never anything involving Shen Qian.

Originally, this was an issue between Shen Qian and Jiang Kechu, so how did Lin Jiayi get involved?

It turned out that Lin Jiayi and Shen Qian were high school classmates, and Lin Jiayi has always been good at socializing, maintaining a good relationship with Shen Qian.

And when Lin Jiayi learned that Shen Qian’s father was a military big shot and her uncle was the chairman of a multinational group, their relationship became even better, turning into best friends.

After finding out that Lin Jiayi was interested in Jiang Kechu, she fully supported and actively tried to facilitate it, but unfortunately, Jiang Kechu’s opinion wasn’t easily swayed.

Thus, Lin Jiayi harbored animosity towards Wan Chu’er, especially in her previous life.

Speaking of which, among this group, Shen Qian’s family background was the best, hence everyone was consciously or unconsciously very enthusiastic towards Shen Qian.

Upon seeing Shen Qian, aside from Jiang Xiaoxiao, everyone’s attention shifted to Shen Qian.

Lin Jiayi even approached her with a beaming smile, gently saying, "Didn’t you say you were going to your uncle’s hotel opening ceremony today? How come you’re here instead? You should have let me know in advance."

Shen Qian might be impatient with others, but it was different with Lin Jiayi.

Shen Qian smiled and said, "The ceremony there was boring, I left halfway through. How is it, are you having fun here?"

While everyone was flattering Shen Qian, Wan Chu’er didn’t just stand there dumbfounded. She pulled Jiang Lingling aside to the periphery and whispered,

"You heard it, this Shen Qian is really interested in your elder cousin, and it seems like your cousins prefer Shen Qian as your cousin-in-law. If they start a conflict with me later, remember that little note."

Precautions must be taken in advance, but first, she had to make it clear to Jiang Lingling.

Hearing Wan Chu’er’s words, Jiang Lingling was stunned. She glanced at Shen Qian, who was surrounded and laughing happily with cousin Lin Jiayi.

She then looked at the confident Wan Chu’er and recalled the note in Wan Chu’er’s bag.

Eventually, she weakly said, "Actually, I also think Shen Qian is quite good."

As for where she was good, she didn’t know, but since cousin Lin Jiayi thought so, she felt the same, it had become a habit.

Wan Chu’er was not surprised, merely smiling and saying, "So are you planning to give me five hundred thousand? With five hundred thousand, you can buy a lot of pretty clothes, shoes, jewelry, and handbags."

Jiang Lingling gulped and finally said, "Then please don’t start a conflict with them, alright?"

"Can I leave now then?" Wan Chu’er lifted her eyelids and then started looking around, "I have no idea where my cousins are."

Recalling Xiao Bai, Jiang Lingling quickly grabbed her hand, "Don’t go, don’t go. If they come to trouble you, I... I’ll stay neutral, is that okay?"

Let her stand against her cousin because of Wan Chu’er, Jiang Lingling can’t possibly think that’s feasible.

Wan Chu’er doesn’t pressure her either, as the saying goes ’eat food bite by bite, walk the road step by step’. It’s already not easy for Jiang Lingling to say those words "not helping either side."

"Deal!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looks at Shen Qian and others, frowning.

At this time, the group of girls seemed to finally remember Wan Chu’er, and they parted to make a way, Lin Jiayi and Shen Qian walked up to Wan Chu’er.

"Qianqian, this is Wan Chu’er." Lin Jiayi introduced Wan Chu’er with a smile to Shen Qian but forgot to introduce Shen Qian to Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er appeared indifferent, waiting for their move.

Shen Qian, with an air of arrogance, sized up Wan Chu’er and then said:

"So you’re the woman Jiang Ke Chu is recently interested in?" Her tone was arrogant, "I’m asking you now: Please leave Jiang Ke Chu!" Shen Qian said it as if it was the most natural thing.

Wan Chu’er smiled and said speechlessly, "Who are you? Should I agree to everyone who comes up to me like any random person?"

As soon as she dropped her words, the faces of many people changed, seemingly not expecting Wan Chu’er to be so bold. However, Lin Jiayi and Shen Qian showed no reaction.

Shen Qian clenched her fists, and the situation seemed to turn sour.

Suddenly Lin Jiayi said, "Chuchu, Shen Qian is my best friend, and she is also an excellent soldier, a colleague of my cousin. Emotionally and logically, you shouldn’t be so rude."

Shen Qian took Lin Jiayi by the hand and then addressing Wan Chu’er, asked:

"Tell us your conditions to leave Jiang Ke Chu—money? Job? House? Car? Going abroad to study? I can satisfy all your needs."

Wan Chu’er suddenly lowered her head, her facial expression unreadable.

In her past life, Shen Qian had said the same thing to her, exactly the same words.

Back then, she harshly retorted Shen Qian, and later Lin Jiayi took her out to a bar, which then led to a scandal disgracing the Jiang family.

Seeing that Wan Chu’er did not respond immediately, everyone assumed she was tempted. Some people widened their eyes and looked scornfully at Wan Chu’er.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried; she reached out and held Wan Chu’er’s hand, then displeasingly looked at her cousin Lin Jiayi.

"Cousin, did you invite me today just to treat Chuchu like this?

Did you consult me or my brother before doing this? I’m so disappointed in you.

Chuchu, let’s go, don’t bother with them!"

After saying this, Jiang Xiaoxiao took Wan Chu’er and wanted to leave, but unfortunately, she could not move her; Wan Chu’er’s arm was as solid as iron.

Lin Jiayi quickly intercepted Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, as you saw, Shen Qian didn’t plan on coming here initially and she’s not someone filled with hidden agendas. Whatever she wants, she says it openly and honestly.

Interfering in matters of the heart isn’t our place. Shen Qian likes our elder cousin, there’s nothing wrong with that. Everyone has the right and freedom to fall in love.

Why not let Shen Qian and Chuchu talk properly, maybe they can find a better solution?"

Then she turned her head and looked at the dazed Jiang Lingling standing beside, "Lingling, right? Our elder cousin should be with the most suitable person."
