Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories Chapter 55 - Li Zhiyuan The Flower Defender

“Stop with the ‘sister’ thing. Who’s your younger sister? Ms. Shen, do you always go up to random people on the streets and call them family?” Shen Qianshu said coldly. Standing in the crowd, she had a slightly pale face, yet her back was straightened. Shen Lin’s face stiffened, and she seemed hurt.

The crowd was pointing at Shen Qianshu and standing on Shen Lin’s side.

This was Shen Lin’s forte.

Her acting skills could make untrue things seem true, and she could fool everyone.

Shen Qianshu laughed coldly and recalled the three years in high school. Shen Lin was always scheming while Shen Qianshu was always giving in to her. It was a period of time that made her unhappy just by the thought of it.

“Shen Qianshu, how could you say that about your elder sister? Even if the Shen Family has kicked you out… Even if you did such a disgraceful thing, Lin has always spoken up for you. It’s okay if you aren’t grateful for that, but you still have the heart to treat her like this. Are you possessed? How did you get into the state that you are in right now?” Lin Xuan put his hand on Shen Lin, feeling pitiful for her as she was insulted by Shen Qianshu.

Li Zhiyuan said calmly, “Mr. Lin, I think you are a typical example of one who has grown to hate someone because of unrequited love. Ms. Shen Lin has been pursuing you for years, yet you ignored her. Until three years ago, you were attracted by her talents, so you accepted her and became a couple that others are envious of. Since it is already that way, why don’t you stop giving our Qianshu that pathetic look on your face that says she can’t be loved. How would Ms. Shen Lin think?”

Li Zhiyuan’s words were not well thought out, but they hit the pain that was hidden in the heart of Lin Xuan and Shen Lin. Shen Lin’s face changed, and she stared at Shen Qianshu with a panicked look.

It was the second time Lin Xuan had lost face like this. If it was another person, he could bear with it. But since it was a man beside Shen Qianshu, it was unbearable for him.

“Li Zhiyuan, this is our problem. What has it got to do with you?

“You scolded my Qianshu, so naturally that’s my problem.”

Shen Qianshu was speechless.

Who is ‘your’ Qianshu?

“Qianshu, you… and Mr. Li are a couple? Don’t you have a boyfriend?” Shen Lin asked ignorantly. She did not seem to understand.

The crowd shrieked and began rambling on.

Did she have two lovers at the same time?

Mr. Li has been cuckolded?

“Ms. Shen, congrats on getting Lin Xuan after all these years. Your talents moved Lin Xuan, fulfilling your dreams.”

Shen Lin’s face went pale.

Shen Qianshu stood in the crowd with a cold gaze. Her dark pupils seemed incredibly cold.

She was no longer the girl who people took advantage of easily.

“Stop it. Stop it. All of you are affecting my business. Ms. Shen, do you still want the spinel?” the stall owner smacked the table and shooed the crowd away. “Go away, go away. If you aren’t buying, please leave. My customers are blocked by all of you. What’s there to see?”

Shen Qianshu glanced at the spinel.

She had a confused look on her face. The next moment, she regained her composure and laughed.

“Yeah, I want it. How much is it?”

“Two hundred thousand. You are a return customer, so we don’t talk about price.” the owner took out the spinel that Shen Qianshu just appraised for. “You appraised it yourself, so it is indeed a rare product. Two hundred thousand is a steal for you.”

Li Zhiyuan was speechless.

The owner said that he wanted to sell it to a rich fool.

He touched his nose, feeling the awkwardness in the air.

Or maybe, he was the only one who felt awkward.

But, he wanted to… make Lin Xuan angry!

How dare he yell at Qianshu!

Li Zhiyuan went forward, putting his arm around Shen Qianshu, and said, “Boss, lower the price, please. I want to buy it for my Qianshu. Two hundred thousand is too expensive.”
