Chapter 230 Dog-eat-Dog
Yu Liqing was extremely angry and suddenly raised her finger to point at Xia Weiwei, pointing the finger at her: "Especially you, Xia Weiwei, who claimed to be Shen Ci's best friend in high school, but deliberately told me the news of her return. You were sure that I would contact her. The one who wanted to see Shen Ci laugh the most is not me, but you!"
Xia Weiwei's eyes widened in panic, and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't mean anything at all!"
"Humph! Unintentional?" You Liqing snorted coldly: "Shen Ci just exposed you on the spot, and you still don't admit it? I knew from the beginning that you did it on purpose!"
"I know people like you too well. You were able to be friends with Shen Ci because you beat her in everything. You were a better student and scored eight points higher than her in the college entrance examination. Your family conditions were better than hers, and your food, clothing, and daily expenses were more luxurious than hers. Even when Ma Hexu pursued her, you were not jealous because you were dating Wang Chuang from the next class, and Wang Chuang's conditions were no worse than Ma Hexu's!"
"But Shen Ci is different now. We've all seen it. She's even more beautiful than she was two years ago. She's rich, pretty, has a boyfriend, and everything that makes you envious and jealous. That's why you're feeling unbalanced. You've been trying to lead the conversation, leading others to believe that everything Shen Ci has now is ill-gotten. Xia Weiwei, you're the most disgusting person. You're the one who caused everything today!"
You Liqing's sharp words hit Xia Weiwei's sore spot, and the others present also realized it belatedly.
Yes, if Xia Weiwei hadn’t revealed the news to You Liqing, You Liqing would never have known that Shen Ci was back.
"You, you are slandering me!" You Liqing ruthlessly exposed the dark side of Xia Weiwei's heart. She was anxious and angry for a moment: "You have been living in Shen Ci's shadow and can't get out of it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so stubborn as to push Ma Hexu out in such an occasion to disgust Shen Ci. You know what you want to prove. You don't believe in the relationship between you and Ma Hexu at all. That's because you know you are inferior to Shen Ci in every way. You think Ma Hexu has never let go of Shen Ci in his heart!"
"You fart!"
“Whoever is anxious knows!”
Suddenly, a dog-eat-dog fight broke out in the box. Seeing this, the others didn't even have the desire to stop the fight. They all stood up, took their clothes and left, allowing Xia Weiwei and You Liqing to expose each other's secrets.
But after this incident, they no longer dared to look down on Chen Ci. Seeing is believing. No matter what Chen Ci did in Longcheng, the fact that she could now chat and laugh with Huang Yongqiang was indeed a level that they could hardly reach no matter how hard they tried.
Shen Ci was not exaggerating!
At this time, Chen Ci was dining alone in another private room upstairs.
Huang Yongqiang arranged a series of signature dishes of the "Red Candle Restaurant" for her, and in order to allow Shen Ci to enjoy the food quietly, he specifically instructed the staff not to make any unnecessary disturbances except for serving the dishes.
Even he himself did not take this opportunity to eat with Shen Ci, but left the space to her alone.
Since Shen Ci stepped out of the private room where they had just gathered, she had already forgotten those people whom she might never meet again. The delicious food and wine in front of her were so delicious that she suddenly felt hungry and started eating without distraction.

Before the fifteenth day, Chen Li was already preparing to go to the crew.
Although Shen Jingjing had known that Ah Li would leave home early, she still couldn't help but complain when the day came: "Why only a few days off? This crew is really crazy, they're in such a hurry to start filming before the end of the Lunar New Year?"
Chen Li felt bad watching her mother packing her luggage and looking reluctant to leave her. She went forward and hugged her gently: "Mom, there is a script study session before filming starts. The crew this time are all seniors. As a newcomer, I must arrive early."
"Mom knows, I just can't bear to leave you." Shen Jingjing patted her daughter's hand, then buckled the suitcase: "Be careful when filming outside. Remember to tell your sister if anything happens, okay?"
"I know."
Seeing this, Xingxing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, are you still a supporting role this time?"
"Yes, this time it's a movie about human trafficking. I play the grown-up version of a kidnapped child. The female lead is Teacher Yao Dan, who plays the mother who lost her child. She's also my biological mother."
Xingxing's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Sister, this is a good topic. Realistic topics are easy to win awards."
Chen Li smiled slightly and nodded without denying it: "This script is adapted from real events. The subject matter is indeed more favored by mainstream awards. I chose this script for this reason, but the main reason is because the script is good and the characters are more three-dimensional."
Shen Jingjing held her daughter's hand and encouraged her, "Act well. This kind of movie has social significance. Mom will let everyone around her watch it."
Xingxing sighed: "After the fifteenth, I have to go back to school. I don't know how long I can stay at home."
Speaking of Shen Ci, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but glance at the time and muttered: "Your sister has been gone for a long time, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Shen Ciren went to the house of her aunt Shen Yingying.
In previous years, my aunt and her family would accompany my uncle back home to celebrate the New Year, and they would come back around the fifth or sixth day of the New Year. But this year, they didn't come back until almost the fifteenth day.
As soon as she came back, Shen Ci hurriedly brought the glutinous rice balls and some cooked food that her mother had prepared in advance to the door.
But when I came back, I met someone downstairs.
It’s Ma Hexu.
He had been pursuing Shen Ci for two years, knew where Shen Ci's home was, and obviously came to find Shen Ci on purpose.
"You blocked me on WeChat, so I came here directly."
Ma Hexu walked forward. It was not yet completely dark, and Shen Ci could see his appearance clearly.
During the party, Shen Ci didn't pay much attention to Ma Hexu's current changes. Now that she was closer, she found that his appearance had changed a lot. In high school, she thought he was very youthful, but now that youthfulness has faded, he no longer looks lively.
It may also be because I have watched too many Li Xiao and Tang Song, so when I watch Ma Hexu now, I just think he is very ordinary.
"I've blocked everyone, so there's no need for you to come to me."
Shen Ci's tone was indifferent and distant, and it was obvious that she had no extra feelings for Ma Hexu.
"I broke up with Yu Liqing."
Shen Ci looked at him and nodded: "Congratulations!"
"I'm with her not because I like her, but because she got into the same university as me. I was just touched by her. I don't..."
Ma Hexu was eager to explain, but Shen Ci didn't want to listen.
She interrupted directly: "I'm not interested in your affairs with her."
"Chen Ci, I like you. You are the one I have always liked."
"Stop!" Shen Ci sneered at Ma Hexu's affection: "You just broke up with someone else and you tell me this, it just makes me feel disgusted."
"You are sensitive and self-deprecating in your bones. You are like this in front of You Liqing, let alone me now?"
"Besides, I have a boyfriend. Even if I didn't, you're still far from it."
Happy Valentine's Day, darlings.
Remember to claim the event medal, because it is a limited edition medal and will be gone after the event is over. It is a super beautiful Chen Ci original painting medal.
