Chapter 440: Chapter 0441: Stand Up for Me

She couldn’t accept it—was it just because Shen Mimi came from a better family than hers?

Once, taking advantage of Lin’s drunkenness, she had seduced him. At that moment, he even reacted, pinned her down, and stripped off most of her clothes, everything seemed to be ready to catch fire, like it was all falling into place.

But then, a sudden phone call from Shen Mimi snapped Lin awake. As soon as he saw the woman underneath him, he leaped out of bed.

This incident had always been a thorn in Lin Lin’s heart, a thorn that constantly made her feel inferior to Shen Mimi.

What Lin Lin didn’t know was that Lin had not actually been drunk. He was only pretending to be in hopes of taking the chance to sleep with her. But Shen Mimi’s phone call had ruined his playacting, and he had no choice but to stop.

From then on, Lin Lin had always avoided him, making it impossible for him to get his way with her.

Shen Mimi’s suspicious gaze flitted back and forth between Lin and Lin Lin, "Lin Lin, is what Lin said true?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lin’s heart instantly chilled by half. Sure enough, Shen Mimi still believed Lin’s words, even though what Lin said was true, she really didn’t want to admit it at the moment.

"Of course, it’s true. I even have the chat logs to prove it, Mimi. Do you want to see how your good friend was planning to steal your man?"

Lin waved his phone, looking at Lin Lin with a cold sneer.

Lin Lin’s complexion changed in an instant, she looked at Shen Mimi somewhat agitatedly, shaking her head non-stop, "Mimi, listen to my explanation, it’s definitely not as simple as he says!"

Shen Mimi looked at Lin Lin coldly, reading something from Lin Lin’s agitated expression. With an emotionless face, Shen Mimi said, "So everything Lin said is true, you really did try to seduce him behind my back?"

Lin Lin kept shaking her head, "It’s not what you think, I just felt that Lin was unreliable at the time, so I wanted to test him for you, not really to seduce him."

"Oh? What a deep sisterhood, saying you wanted to test Lin for Mimi? How on Earth do you test someone by sneaking into bed? Taking advantage of my drunken state to undress me? To kiss my whole body?"

The more Lin spoke, the redder Lin Lin’s cheeks got, but at this point, she didn’t care anymore, she had to dispel the negative impression Shen Mimi had of her.

It had not been easy for her to find a friend who spent money so lavishly. Whether it was eating or using, Shen Mimi would always think of her, and she had gotten accustomed to gaining some benefits from Shen Mimi. So, if Shen Mimi turned against her, who would buy her those expensive lipsticks and handbags?

Shen Mimi’s lips curled into a self-mocking arc. Her cold eyes were calm and waveless, as if the words being spoken by these two people had nothing to do with her.

"I think you two are quite compatible, you could try being together. There’s a hotel nearby, do you want me to pay for it so you can go and try for size right now?"

Shen Mimi felt no pain in her heart as she said these words. After speaking, she pulled out a stack of money from her bag and slammed it hard onto Lin Lin’s face.

She had been told before that Lin Lin’s approach to her was not purely simple, but back then she had been having so much fun with Lin Lin that she didn’t listen to anyone else, she had even distanced herself from those friends for Lin Lin’s sake.

Looking back now, they were pretty right. Shen Mimi suddenly felt like an idiot, a complete and utter fool.

First betrayed by Lin in romance, and now betrayed by her best friend whom she believed in the most, could there be anyone more pitiable than her in this world?

Shen Mimi turned around numbly and raised her eyes to look at the sky; the rims of her eyes started to feel sour and redden. She tried to keep her head high, fearing the tears would accidentally spill out.

Shen Mimi wanted to leave this place quickly, but her feet felt as though they were filled with lead, unable to move, walking extremely slowly.

She had only taken a few steps when suddenly a force yanked on her arm.

Shen Mimi almost fell due to her unsteady center of gravity. She staggered a few steps before stabilizing herself, and looked up blankly at the person who appeared before her; her vision gradually became clear from the blur.

It wasn’t until she saw clearly who it was in front of her that she let out a foolish snicker, "Shen Yaoyao, it’s you, huh? Have you come to enjoy the spectacle of my misery?"

As Shen Mimi spoke, tears involuntarily started to stream down her face, and it was unclear whether she was crying or laughing, but it was certainly an ugly expression.

Shen Yaoyao glared at Shen Mimi with annoyance, her eyes filled with disdain, "Shen Mimi, where’s that spirit you had when you were dealing with me? How come you’re so capable against your own family, but turn into a little puppy when bullied by others outside? Aren’t you very capable? Use some of that skill you had against me!"

Shen Yaoyao hummed with a sort of resentful expectation, "What a disgrace to the Shen Family!"

The discord between Shen Mimi and Shen Yaoyao, and even the fact that the sisters went from coldness to the brink of total fallout, was completely because Lin Lin had stirred trouble between them.

Even the fact that nobody recognized Shen Yaoyao when she returned from studying abroad was Lin Lin’s suggestion to Shen Mimi, because she wanted Shen Mimi to fully take over the Xiao Shen Family’s fortune. Given Shen Mimi’s attitude towards her and the sisterly bond, it was certain that whatever she herself had, she would share a portion with Shen Mimi, ensuring Shen Mimi would live a prosperous life.

Only, no one expected that Shen Yaoyao would suddenly return, and even at this moment, stand before Shen Mimi looking ready to defend her.

As for the war between the women, Lin had no interest in getting involved, especially since he had more important matters to attend to now.

The reason he said those earlier words was to make Shen Mimi see Lin Lin for who she really is, perhaps considering his thoughtful intentions, she might forgive him.

Lin also knew that such matters could not be rushed, so seeing Shen Yaoyao standing up for Shen Mimi and looking ready to actively teach Lin Lin a lesson, Lin tactfully retreated to the side.

"Lin Lin! Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done to Shen Mimi and me over the years, I want to tell you very clearly! Not only do I know, but I have also collected some evidence of your deeds. Suppose I hand over this evidence to the police, even if you don’t end up in jail, it will definitely leave a dark mark on your record, right?"

Shen Yaoyao slightly lifted her chin, looking at Lin Lin as if she were watching a clown perform.

Lin Lin had already lost her composure, and upon hearing Shen Yaoyao’s words, she became even more panicked; but the person standing in front of her was Shen Yaoyao, the very Shen Yaoyao that she and Shen Mimi had gossiped with until dawn.

How could she possibly bow down before Shen Yaoyao, "Shen Mimi, look, look! Shen Yaoyao is bullying me again! Mimi, you used to stand up for me in the past, didn’t you?"
