Since she can hang out with Lin Sha, she's probably not a good person. Now that Lin Sha's old bag has been exposed, standing next to her will only lower her own status.
Since Shen Beitang was someone they couldn't afford to offend, they could only pretend nothing was wrong, exchange a few perfunctory pleasantries, and then leave.
“A bunch of cheap women,” Lin Sha yelled.
When her family was at its peak, everyone fawned over them. Now that they know the Lin family is failing, they've all run away.
"Hmph, Shen Beitang, do you think you're any better? Wearing this outfit, you're just asking for humiliation."
When her dress was mentioned again, Shen Beitang assumed it was out of envy and jealousy, since Ms. Zhou had mentioned it before.
This dress, one of a kind in the world, is the dream dress of countless young girls, but now she is wearing it herself.
But Shen Beitang soon sensed something was wrong. The dress was luxurious, but Shen Beitang didn't think it was so extravagant that it warranted a crowd.
"She did it on purpose, dressed like that."
"It's deliberately designed to make things easier for the Shan family."
Shen Beitang was completely baffled by what was being said, until…
"Welcome to today's main character!"
The host stood on the stage, and all the spotlights shone towards the door.
My goodness, what a coincidence!
Bai Ling's engagement dress was exactly the same as hers. If it were just a simple case of wearing the same style, that would be one thing, but anyone with eyes could see that they were the same design.
During the ceremony, if Shen Beitang hadn't known Shan Chengming before, she would have been moved to tears by his speech.
“During the darkest five years of my life, it was Bai Ling who pulled me out of the abyss and taught me what light was for the first time.”
Haha, 5 years? Isn't that just the number of years the original owner kept pestering him?
If you like light so much, why don't you like Ultraman? Wouldn't that be more direct?
Shan Chengming completely portrayed himself as a victim, never mentioning a single word of the help he provided to the Shan family over the past five years.
"As my only family member, I would like to invite my sister Shen Beitang to the stage."
Bai Ling, holding a microphone and dressed like an angel descending from heaven, walked towards Shen Beitang.
In response, Shen Beitang could only comment that the crying scene was not bad.
"Please don't call me 'elder sister,' but I do have some 'blessings' I'd like to say to the newlyweds."
Bai Ling originally thought that Shen Beitang would refuse and make a scene, but she didn't expect her to be so calm, and she didn't react for a moment.
When two beauties wearing the same clothes stand together, comparisons are inevitable. However, today, Shen Beitang's beauty overshadows her clothes, while Bai Ling's plain and simple appearance is overshadowed by her clothes.
"I'm here today to thank Bai Ling."
The audience erupted in uproar. They must have misheard; it was the first time they'd ever heard of someone thanking their rival after their fiancé had been stolen.
"Thank me?" Bai Ling asked in return.
She originally wanted to gain more favor by acting crazy in front of Shen Beitang. Most importantly, she just wanted Shen Beitang to publicly admit that she, Bai Ling, was a member of the Shen family.
Unexpectedly, Shen Beitang did not play by the rules at all.
Shen Beitang spoke with heartfelt sincerity, holding Bai Ling's hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Thank you for rescuing me from the fire pit. What people don't know is that the Shan family had fallen into decline, and it was all thanks to the Shen family that they were promoted."
But Shan Chengming was ungrateful; he took my money and flirted with other women.
Upon hearing this, Shan Chengming flew into a rage, thinking that Shen Beitang had truly gone mad.
"Shen Beitang, you said that all that money was for my investment, how could you go back on your word!"
Everyone initially thought that Shen Beitang was just talking nonsense. Although the Shan family had indeed only developed in the last five years, it was not enough for them to want a woman's money.
After Shan Chengming's outburst, the "gold digger" persona is now firmly established.
Based on the timeline, that "other woman" must be Bai Ling, who was suddenly thrust into the position of the third party.
"Sister Tangtang, how could you say that about me? I never interfered in your relationship."
Before announcing her engagement, Bai Ling deliberately kept her distance from Shan Chengming in front of others.
"Oh? Why did Shan Chengming break off our engagement so quickly and then seamlessly transition into a relationship with you? Don't tell me you fell in love at first sight."
Or to put it another way, love at first sight?
Shen Beitang felt great as he looked at Bai Ling’s pale face. He hadn’t wanted to provoke her, but Bai Ling had taken the initiative to approach him.
Shameless! Want to be a member of the Shen family? Dream on!
After Shen Beitang's explanation, it was indeed not right. If they hadn't been hooking up for a long time, how could they have gotten engaged so quickly?
All of you here are wives of wealthy men, and what you find most intolerable is your husband using your money to support other women.
Bai Ling's behavior was undoubtedly like dancing on their minefield.
Shen Beitang was a victim just like them, and he looked at her with some sympathy.
No, that's not how it works...
Bai Ling had put in a lot of effort to build relationships with those wealthy women, so how could she let Shen Beitang ruin it with just a few words?
"Shen Beitang, you are a vicious woman. When you were with Chengming, you restricted his freedom and made him feel suffocated, which is why he left you!"
Shen Beitang shook his head and said calmly, "It seems you still don't understand. No matter what I say, the point is, you are a third party, and that won't change."
"Also, even though you've taken so much money from me, Shan Chengming won't buy you a decent dress. You'll just come out wearing a knock-off."
When Shen Beitang went on stage, he noticed that although the two dresses and jewelry were exactly the same, Bai Ling's stitching was extremely poor, and most importantly...
She can still distinguish between zircon and diamond.
Bai Ling knew, of course, that the dress was fake. She had cried to Shan Chengming before their engagement, but the price per kilogram was indeed beyond Shan Chengming's means.
Finally, Shan Chengming promised to make her an identical dress.
The authentic version is so expensive, no one will buy it. If you only wear it for one night, no one will notice.
But when Shen Beitang got out of the car wearing the same dress as her, Bai Ling knew she had lost...
"Shen Beitang, you still lie so easily. Today is my engagement banquet, how could I possibly wear a counterfeit?"
Besides, how can you prove that what you're wearing is genuine? Payment receipts can also be forged.
Bai Ling had already investigated and found that the dress designer was not even in the country. Shen Beitang could only swallow his anger today.
"Then how can you prove that what you're wearing is the genuine article?"
Bai Ling is dreaming if she thinks she can trap me in a self-justification trap!
"Hmph." Bai Ling sneered, "This is the authorization certificate that dress designer G gave me. Do you have one?"
This dress was probably something Ms. Zhou saw and impulsively ordered; she wouldn't have thought about getting a certificate.
Shen Beitang sent a message to Ms. Zhou, asking her to send over all the purchase receipts.
"Tangtang, I did like the dress, but I didn't pay for it."
What! !
At such a crucial moment, is Ms. Zhou joking?
