Chapter 39

Jin Lan looked at me for a while before saying coldly, “Li Qiu is just a regular friend.

“Lin Qiqi, why has she become a reason for us to fight?”

I didn’t say anything.

Jealousy and a sense of powerlessness washed over me.

That night, while drowning my sorrows at a bar, I ran into Li Qiu.

She was with a group of male friends. When she saw me, she walked over to toast me.

I just stared at her, neither taking the glass nor drinking.

Li Qiu smiled and set the glass down.

Then, she suddenly leaned in close and whispered, “Do you know why you aren’t good enough for Jin Lan?

“From family background and talent to education, you don’t measure up in any of it.”

I said coldly, “So what?

“Jin Lan is my husband.”

Li Qiu laughed again: “But Jin Lan is exhausted being with you.

“Did you know?

“I went shopping with Jin Lan’s mother this morning, and she even bought me a new Hermes bag.

“Lin Qiqi, if you play the princess in a fairy tale for too long, you’ll eventually have to face reality.

“The reality is that you have a father who owes gambling debts everywhere and a mother with a bad reputation.”

It was as if she were looking through my face, straight into the weakest part of my soul.

“Even if you don’t admit it, you’ll never be able to get rid of them for the rest of your life.”
