Jiang Hao was immediately annoyed when he saw Lin Qingtong's look, but he couldn't vent his anger directly, since Lin Qingtong was quick-witted.

However, he could provoke Lin Qingtong in another way.

So he waved the gift in his hand and looked at Lin Qingtong triumphantly.

"Look, this is a gift I gave to Huimin. Only a woman as obedient and sensible as her deserves a gift. Someone like you doesn't deserve one."

Seeing this, Lin Qingtong crossed her arms and slowly uttered a sentence.

"It doesn't matter. I have my own money. I can buy as much jewelry as I want, or even buy the whole brand and hang it up to look nice."

Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Jiang Hao gritted his teeth in anger, realizing that he was far less wealthy than before.

Previously, when Lin Qingtong's company abroad made money, they would regularly send him a living allowance.

But now that he's back in charge of the company, money is being poured in, but it's not making a ripple at all.

In other areas, they also started to run into financial difficulties. Originally, Qi Huimin was supposed to stay in a hotel, but in the end, they rented an apartment for her instead.

The property that had been promised to her was taken back by her grandfather in a fit of anger.

Qi Huimin was heartbroken and cried until her eyes were red. Jiang Hao could only spend a lot of money to buy her a necklace to cheer her up.

Lin Qingtong easily amassed hundreds of millions of yuan and had no worries about money at all.

He stared at Lin Qingtong with a gloomy look in his heart, feeling resentful. He thought that if he hadn't brought it up, Lin Qingtong should have taken the initiative to increase his living expenses.

But he didn't bring up the matter of living expenses; he could only snort coldly and tell the driver to take him away.

Seeing Jiang Hao leave with a livid face, Lin Qingtong felt extremely relieved, and a bright smile appeared on her lips.

Just as she was about to step into the villa, her cell phone rang, and on the screen was her best friend Jiang Mian.

After the call connected, Jiang Mian's voice choked with sadness.

"Little Tongtong, I've been dumped again. Can you come to Moon Goddess Bar and keep me company? You're all I have left. If you don't come..."

"Get away from me! Who are you? Don't lay a hand on me!"

Upon hearing Jiang Mian's voice on the phone, Lin Qingtong paused and anxiously inquired.

"What's wrong, Jiang Mian? I'm coming right now."

The phone went dead. Lin Qingtong's emotions suddenly turned somber. Jiang Mian was her best friend, from high school to college graduation, and now to their marriage.

The two talked about everything. After her one-night stand with Shen Tinghe, she originally didn't plan to keep him as a mistress, but Jiang Mian directly comforted her, saying that Jiang Hao had wronged her, so she didn't need to remain chaste.

That's why Lin Qingtong spent a lot of money to keep Shen Tinghe as her husband.

Lin Qingtong hurriedly arrived at the Moon Goddess Bar. The bright lights reflected on her small face, and as soon as she appeared in the dimly lit bar, many people's eyes fell on her.

She was extremely beautiful, with porcelain-white skin. Even though she was wearing simple clothes, it was still impossible to hide her fair skin and full figure.

Soon, Lin Qingtong spotted Jiang Mian, who was sitting in the largest booth with two women on either side of her. She stood in front of the booth and smiled helplessly.

Is this kind of fun for you?

Jiang Mian reached out and pinched the cheek of the handsome young man on her left before smiling and answering Lin Qingtong's question.

"If I didn't put on this act, would you have come out? You usually come to a bar reluctantly."

"Let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Upon hearing her words, Lin Qingtong immediately sensed something and went straight to the point.

"Do you know something?"

Jiang Mian immediately shook off the group of handsome young men, looking indignant and standing up for Lin Qingtong.

"Jiang Hao is such a coward, how dare he bring his mistress home? Has he gone mad?!"

"You should know that he's the one who can't have children, but you insisted on hiding it for him. Now look what's happened, everything is your fault!"

Hearing Jiang Mian's words, Lin Qingtong smiled and stepped forward to comfort her, patting her on the shoulder.

"Okay, I know you're angry, but I don't care at all. Since I'm here, I'll have a couple of drinks with you."

Jiang Mian poured two glasses of wine for Lin Qingtong, clinked glasses with her, and asked her about her recent affairs.

"By the way, what about that pretty boy of yours? You really don't want him anymore?"

Lin Qingtong touched the bridge of her nose with her finger, unsure of how to explain it to Jiang Mian.

"Actually, he's not exactly a gigolo..."

Shen Tinghe was indeed not a pretty boy, but the real Ninth Master of the Shen family, a ruthless and merciless man.

Lin Qingtong didn't know how she ended up sleeping with him, and even had the audacity to say that she wanted to keep him as a sugar daddy.

And in the end, they even gave him money and told him to leave.

Looking back now, Lin Qingtong wants to slap her past self a few times. She should have just focused on acting, so that she would have room to maneuver now.

Jiang Mian noticed that Lin Qingtong's expression was off, and cheekily moved closer.

"No way, no way, you haven't broken up with that pretty boy yet, and you've already slept with him again?"

Lin Qingtong's ears felt slightly hot.

They did sleep together, but actually it should be Shen Tinghe who slept with her.

She couldn't help but recall that intimate and ambiguous scene.

Suddenly, Jiang Mian's surprised voice rang out.

"Look, that handsome guy looks familiar?"

Lin Qingtong followed his gaze and saw a tall, elegant figure with his back to them amidst the bright lights.

With just one glance, Lin Qingtong instantly recognized that it was Shen Tinghe!

She was surprised; why was Shen Tinghe at the Moon Goddess Bar?

At the same time, her heart skipped a beat. If Shen Tinghe saw her sitting in a booth at a bar with a handsome young man next to her, he would probably cause her trouble again.
