Chapter 47: Scheme
Li Yuwei choked on her words and rolled her eyes. “… Who was following you?”
She just came to confirm if Qin Yanci had switched personalities.
Because she remembered that in her past life, Qin Yanci's personality switches happened around the beginning of the month.
He was easy to recognize. He wore silver-rimmed glasses, was refined and elegant.
When he first appeared, she thought that Qin Yanci had reformed and was a new man.
Who knew he was even more terrifying than Qin Yanci?
Qin Yanci said what he thought and sought revenge on the spot.
But the man with glasses liked to play dirty.
The torture methods Qin Yanci used were all taught to him by the man with glasses.
Tomorrow was New Year's Day, and it was very likely that the man with glasses would be the one to come to their house for New Year's greetings in place of Qin Yanci. If he got together with Sisi, then, according to his personality, he might think that Sisi was the one who harmed him.
If the two of them had a falling out, it would be fun.
Sisi snorted. “I hope not.”
The tram stopped, and Sisi got on. She got off halfway to pick up her shoes.
The style was simple.
They were made of cowhide, with a thick layer of rabbit fur inside. They were warm just to the touch.
She tried them on, and they fit perfectly.
She planned to wear them on her wedding day, so she wouldn't have to buy wedding shoes.
The shopkeeper handed her the rest of the rabbit fur. “I threw away the scraps. There's only this one piece that's complete. Check it out.”
Sisi looked it over roughly and thanked him before paying and going home.
Li Junlu was putting up the couplets when he saw her, and he paused, looking at her. Sisi looked so much prettier with a little makeup. “Did you eat?”
Sisi was about to answer unconsciously.
Li Yuwei, who was behind her, said, “No, it's freezing.”
Sisi hurried away, went into her room and closed the door. She didn't eat dinner that night. She listened to the sound of firecrackers going off outside, and she said quietly to herself, “Sisi, you're twenty years old.
You're a grown woman.
Don't let others affect your emotions all the time.
Harden your heart.
If you don't care, you won't get hurt.”
She was about to go to sleep when she heard a rustling sound.
She had excellent hearing.
If she paid attention, she could hear even the whispers in the house.
This sound seemed to be coming from Li Yuwei's room.
She perked up her ears.
“Put this in Qin Yanci's drinking cup tomorrow. It's guaranteed to make him want to make Sisi feel good.”
“Mom, what are you saying?”
“Ha, she's a grown woman. Sooner or later she'll understand. What's there to be embarrassed about?”
"…"
Sisi didn't understand. How could putting something in Qin Yanci's cup affect her?
When Qin Yanci came, she would ask him.
It was also a good way to remind him to be careful.
The next day, after Sisi got up, she discreetly observed Song Hanmei and Li Yuwei.
The two of them exchanged glances from time to time.
Song Hanmei's hand kept going into her pocket.
The thing that would make Qin Yanci feel good must be in Song Hanmei's pocket.
Time passed minute by minute.
It was almost noon, but Qin Yanci hadn't shown up yet.
Song Hanmei and Li Yuwei's anxiety was evident on their faces.
“Today is New Year's Day. We have already seen off several people who came to our house for New Year's greetings. Why hasn't Yanci come yet?” Song Hanmei asked.
Li Junlu said, “Sisi, go to the Qin family and see what's going on. Why isn't Yanci here yet? He should have come first.”
Sisi countered logically, “Since he should have come first, I shouldn't be the one breaking the rules.”
Song Hanmei said, “Could it be that their family found a better girl and doesn't want Sisi anymore.”
“Marriage isn't child's play. They already got their marriage certificate. How can they find someone else?”
Sisi added, “My mom and you had a wedding, and you still said you didn't want her. You just left her.” Of course, she knew Qin Yanci was different from her father.
He must be delayed.
But she wished he wouldn't come. Because if Song Hanmei made the tea first, he would have to drink it.
That was a blatant scheme. Unless she took the cup from him, there was nothing she could do.
But if she did that, Song Hanmei would have another reason to pick on her.
Li Junlu: "…"
