Qin Yige hated this gesture of his, slapping her and then giving her a sweet date, really annoying!
However, well, what she hated even more was herself, the pathetic way she couldn't help but accept the black gold card.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" He put away his wallet, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.
"No, no, you're so busy, I'll go by myself. I'll buy the wedding ring myself, I won't trouble Mr. Shang with such trivial matters!" Qin Yige put the card in her bag, the smile on her lips couldn't be hidden, her anger gone.
Perhaps, in this world, only money could quickly soothe her anger!
How annoying, how could she be so materialistic?
"Mm, enjoy your shopping, Mrs. Shang. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
"Okay!"
The car stopped at the entrance of Cogley, and Qin Yige quickly unbuckled her seatbelt. The security guards outside the jewelry store had already run over to open the car door for her, and didn't forget to open the sun umbrella.
Qin Yige's foot touched the ground, and Shang Sheng's calm reminder came from behind her, "Mrs. Shang, remember to take me off the blacklist."
The smile on Qin Yige's lips stiffened slightly. Uh, a bit awkward.
When she turned back, she was already smiling, "Of course, we're a couple now, aren't we?"
"Mrs. Shang knows best."
The Gust drove away, and Qin Yige was invited into the jewelry store.
As soon as she entered, she heard a familiar voice calling her, "Yige!"
Qin Yige turned her head and saw a sales assistant and two young women standing by a jewelry counter not far away. The one with short hair, wearing a long white dress, was looking at her with a smile.
Seeing her, Qin Yige was extremely happy, "Sister Mu Wan!"
Chu Muwan was Chu Rang's older sister.
She quickly walked over, and the two women happily shared a big hug.
Chu Muwan pulled her away and looked her up and down, "Oh my, our Sister Yige is even more beautiful. Is it because you're nourished by love after marrying Shang Sheng?"
Qin Yige snorted proudly, "Not at all. Although we're not on speaking terms, we're still like fire and ice."
"Really?" Chu Muwan took her hand and began to pick out jewelry together.
"Of course! Sister Mu Wan, why do you have time to go shopping today? If you're out, you should have called me!" Qin Yige complained.
Chu Muwan sighed, "I wasn't supposed to be free, but it's my mom. She took leave for me without my permission. She insisted I come out and buy some things and dress up for a blind date."
"Sister Mu Wan should get married. Have you seen any jewelry you like? I'll buy it for you, with Shang Sheng's card!" Qin Yige winked at her.
"We just arrived, not yet. Let's pick something together."
"Okay."
Qin Yige searched for a long time but couldn't find the tourmaline ring Shang Sheng had mentioned. She asked the sales assistant, "Did you just receive a tourmaline ring?"
The sales assistant nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Shang. The ring is upstairs. I'll go get it for you."
"Mm."
While the sales assistant went upstairs to get the ring, Chu Muwan pulled her aside to chat, "I heard you slapped Secretary Chen. The news has spread like wildfire in Port City. What happened?"
Qin Yige briefly summarized, "She was abusing her power!"
"I see." Chu Muwan knew her personality well.
Yige was stubborn and arrogant, and wouldn't back down from force. If Chen Ling, a secretary, tried to use Shang Sheng as a shield to bully Qin Yige, Qin Yige would definitely not let her off. Chu Muwan thought she deserved it!
However, there was one thing. She lowered her voice and said, "Yige, you've been clashing with Shang Sheng for so long, and people outside think Shang Sheng was forced to marry you and doesn't love you at all. Besides Chen Ling, more people will target you because you're not favored and won't be taken seriously. Since you're married to Shang Sheng, you need to try to cultivate your relationship with him and give them no chance to bully you, understand?"
Qin Yige disagreed, "Sister Mu Wan, how could I possibly try to please Shang Sheng? If he doesn't love me, so be it. I don't love him either. We'll live together if we can, and if not, we'll get a divorce. Anyway, I never want to get married in this lifetime."
After the divorce, she would still be her spoiled missy, free and unfettered.
She must have been out of her mind to fall for her parents' trick, not only getting married but also marrying Shang Sheng.
Chu Muwan was a little helpless, "Yige, you can't think like that. Marriage is not a child's play. Ah Sheng is a good person. You have misunderstandings between you, which is why you're not on speaking terms. You need to try to discover his good qualities and walk with him, understand?"
"His good qualities? Hmm, he's rich, and that's it."
Chu Muwan was amused by her, "You're blinded by hatred. The women who want to marry your Mr. Shang could line up from Port City to America."
Qin Yige put down the ring she had tried on and looked at her, "Confess, were you sent by my mother as a mediator?"
"How could I be? I haven't seen Auntie recently."
"Then you must be sent by Grandma Shang."
"..."
Chu Muwan knew when to stop, "Neither. Okay, okay, you're not a child anymore, you know what you're doing."
She couldn't interfere too much in other people's marriages, especially since Shang Sheng and Qin Yige had been at odds for over a decade, and their relationship wouldn't improve overnight.
"Thank you, Sister Mu Wan!" Qin Yige knew who was good to her. "I'll follow your advice and try to reconcile with Shang Sheng."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that!"
Thinking of Chen Ling, Qin Yige became annoyed again, "Yeah, his secretary is too annoying. Sister Mu Wan, do you think I should ask Shang Sheng to fire her directly?"
Then, she poured out everything that had happened with Chen Ling like beans.
After listening to her, Chu Muwan pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "No. If I remember correctly, Chen Ling has been with Shang Sheng for two or three years. To be fair, she's very capable at her job. You and Shang Sheng have just gotten married, and your relationship hasn't improved much. If Shang Sheng doesn't agree to fire Chen Ling, you'll be the one who's embarrassed and angry in the end."
"That makes sense."
"I'll tell you a trick. Isn't Chen Ling faking helplessness in front of Shang Sheng? You should take her path and leave her nowhere to go. Simply put, to deal with green tea and white lotus characters, you have to be even more green tea and white lotus than them, understand?"
Qin Yige was dumbfounded, "Sister Mu Wan, do you want me to become green tea?"
"Yes!" The woman answered confidently.
"But I'm not very good at it." Qin Yige was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay if you're not good. Search for green tea tactics online and learn to apply them in your life, leaving the green tea with no way out! Yige, with your intelligence, as long as you want to learn, I believe you can do it!" Chu Muwan cheered her on.
Qin Yige took out her phone, "Don't worry, let me search first."
The internet was a wonderful thing, it had everything, and the content opened her eyes.
She put on a fake voice and tried to imitate one line, "Brother, your girlfriend... No, your secretary, your secretary is spoiled by you. You're too good to her. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't let my boss work so hard— Ugh!"
