Seeing that she remembered, Chen Zhao said with surprise, "It's me, Sister Qingyu. I just found out today that it was you who saved me. It was you who gave me energy... I recognized the wrong person before, please don't blame me."
When Cheng Ruijin heard this, there was obvious panic in her eyes, but she forced herself to calm down.
She took two steps forward, walked in front of Su Qingyu and asked, "Cousin, why are you lying? It was obviously me who saved Brother Shen Zhao."
"That day I said your beads were beautiful, so you lent them to me. Later, I saved Brother Shen Zhao and returned the beads to you."
"How could you lie to him? You haven't given up on him yet, have you? You are his third aunt, you can't do such a shameless thing."
Chen Zhao was not stupid, he saw the panic in Rujin's eyes, and also saw the look of sudden realization on Su Qingyu's face.
But he didn't say anything. He wanted to see what Su Qingyu would say. If Qingyu strongly refuted Cheng Ruijin, it must mean that she still had him in her heart, right?
To Su Qingyu, what happened back then was a trivial matter, so trivial that she had forgotten the details. She didn't care whether Shen Zhao had recognized the wrong person or not.
However, Cheng Ruijin's words that confused right and wrong and were aggressive aroused Su Qingyu's competitive spirit.
The corners of her lips curled up in a cold smile, "Borrow it? Cousin, why don't you ask Master Ci'en if you can borrow this necklace?"
"When Master Ci'en gave it to me, he told me not to let anyone else wear it. Anyone who wears it will be unlucky except me."
"At that time, I didn't know you were so shameless. I treated you as my own sister, so how could I hurt you?"
Su Qingyu added: "How you climbed into Young Master Shen's bed has nothing to do with me, but don't try to step on me to get to the top."
The last sentence was full of momentum, and his eyes were dark and fierce.
Cheng Rujin was stifled by Su Qingyu's words, unable to utter a word of rebuttal. She didn't know the details of that day to begin with, and the more she talked, the more mistakes she made.
She was extremely regretful at this moment. After she got the bead string and established a relationship with Shen Zhao last year, she should have thrown the bead string away directly. Because she saw that Shen Zhao was obsessed with the bead string, she was reluctant to throw it away.
The first time she knew about this was at a flower fair. Shen Zhao was painting alone in the pavilion, and the painting was of the seven-treasure pearl string.
That day, Shen Zhao was wearing a dark blue embroidered robe, his face was as beautiful as jade, and his figure was unparalleled. She was stunned, staring at his painting and said, "Seven Treasures Bead String?"
At that time, Shen Zhao was ecstatic and asked her, "Miss, have you seen this bead necklace? Do you know the person who wears it?"
She said inexplicably that the beads were hers.
After that day, Shen Zhao treated her differently than he treated others.
She thought she could keep this secret forever, but she didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly. The culprit of all this was Su Qingyu, who destroyed everything for her.
Cheng Rujin looked at Chen Zhao, only to see that Chen Zhao was staring at Su Qingyu with a burning gaze, his eyes filled with surprise at having regained what he had lost.
"Sister Qingyu, it was you who saved me. I was deceived by Cheng Rujin. I will go back and tell my grandmother that we will get engaged again."
Impatience flashed across Su Qingyu's eyes. She just didn't want Cheng Ruijin to have an easy time, but that didn't mean she wanted to continue to be entangled with Shen Zhao.
"Mr. Shen, I am your third aunt now, so you should think before you speak."
She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known that Chen Zhao was thinking this way, she should have said that it was Cheng Ruijin who saved him, locking them together for eternity.
However, Chen Zhao thought Su Qingyu was concerned about the engagement, so he quickly said, "You can cancel your engagement with my third uncle. He's dead, so why would you marry him?"
"I was wrong before. I promise to be devoted to you from now on. There will never be anyone else around me. Will you forgive me?"
Shen Zhao discussed it almost pleadingly.
Su Qingyu felt that fate was playing tricks on her. In her previous life, she had always wanted to live a good life with Shen Zhao, but Shen Zhao had destroyed everything with his own hands. In this life, she only wanted to protect her relatives behind her and trample her enemies underfoot, but Shen Zhao pretended to be deeply affectionate.
She didn't feel touched, she just felt disgusted.
"Young Master Shen, if you say something like this again, I don't mind going to the Shen family to ask the old lady to make the decision for me."
"Pearl Jade, let's go."
Su Qingyu raised her foot and walked towards the inner courtyard without any hesitation.
Chen Zhao looked at Su Qingyu's back and murmured, "Sister Qingyu, I will definitely make it up to you. I know you still have me in your heart."
He recalled the look Su Qingyu had given him before, with all the stars in her eyes being filled with him.
He blamed himself for being stupid and recognizing the wrong person.
Seeing him in a daze, Cheng Rujin stepped forward and pulled his sleeve, "Brother Shen Zhao, it's my fault, but I also like you. We have a child, and I will be able to go to the Shen family to accompany you soon."
She imagined that Shen Zhao could still look at her with tenderness as before, and then hold her in his arms to comfort her.
Chen Zhao turned to look at Cheng Rujin. There was no tenderness in his eyes, and they were so cold that it was frightening.
The next moment, there was a snap.
Shen Zhao slapped Cheng Rujin in the face.
"You still dare to tell me that you can enter the Shen family? Why would the Shen family want a woman like you who is full of lies and despicable?"
As the eldest heir of the Shen family, how could he be a good man? Cheng Rujin only realized today that when Shen Zhao got ruthless, he really showed no mercy.
Cheng Ruijin was caught off guard and staggered. If the maid had not supported her in time, she might have fallen to the ground.
But she couldn't care about herself, and she didn't even dare to be angry with Shen Zhao.
She stepped forward cautiously and said humbly and flatteringly: "Brother Shen Zhao, I really know I was wrong. I just wanted to be with you too much."
“I promise to listen to you in the future, don’t be angry with me, Brother Shen Zhao…”
Cheng Ruijin spoke with a tearful voice, tears streaming down her face.
In the past, whenever Cheng Rujin cried, Chen Zhao would feel heartbroken. But today, seeing her tearful face, he felt only impatience.
He was eager to return to the Shen family and ask his grandmother to make the decision. He wanted to marry Su Qingyu.
He knew in his heart that if he lost this opportunity, he would definitely regret it in the future. By then, Su Qingyu would become the third wife of the Shen family, and there would be no possibility between them.
Shen Zhao ignored Cheng Rujin and quickly left the Su family's house. His face seemed hurried and expectant.
Cheng Rujin cried even harder as she watched Shen Zhao leave.
The noise here had already reached Gu Ruoyun's ears. As soon as Chen Zhao left, Gu Ruoyun walked over quickly.
When Cheng Rujin saw her mother coming, she threw herself into her arms and said, "Mom, he wants to marry Su Qingyu. What should I do?"
