Chapter 116 Jealousy
When Bai Zhenzhu saw Mai Mai arrive, she wasn't surprised at all. Instead, she warmly welcomed her with the finest tea.
Mai Mai kept staring at Bai Zhenzhu's busy figure, her eyes blazing with barely suppressed hatred.
After pouring tea for Mai Mai, Bai Zhenzhu sat down, calm and elegant, her face revealing no emotion whatsoever.
But the more Bai Zhenzhu pretended that nothing was wrong, the angrier Mai Mai became.
She suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup on the table, and splashed it on Bai Zhenzhu's face.
Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu reacted quickly and blocked it with her arm.
Although the tea had cooled down considerably, it was still a bit hot, and Bai Zhenzhu's arm immediately turned red.
She hadn't expected Mai Mai to be so aggressive; she had underestimated her.
But Bai Zhenzhu never suffers in silence. She picked up the entire teapot and poured it directly over Mai Mai's head.
Mai Mai's arms were burned red from trying to protect her face.
Bai Zhenzhu felt better now, since Mai Mai had burned an extra arm compared to her.
The two of them were in a terrible state.
They all grabbed tissues from the table and began to tidy themselves up.
Even so, the dialogue continued, with neither side willing to back down first.
"Bai Zhenzhu, you shameless hussy! I truly regret ever liking your paintings. Looking back, it must have been the stupidest thing I've ever done. You're nothing but a vixen! You seduced my fiancé, and, and..."
Mai Mai was too emotional to talk about what happened yesterday.
Bai Zhenzhu smiled slyly at her and kindly spoke up for her, "So you're still cheating on Shi Jin right under your nose, huh? Miss Mai, did you watch all the videos I sent you yesterday? Are you satisfied with your fiancé's performance?"
"White Pearl, it really was you who posted the video! How could you be so shameless!"
Mai Mai has always been a lady from a prestigious family, but these days, Bai Zhenzhu has driven her to the point where she is almost unrecognizable.
Bai Zhenzhu just kept laughing, "I may be shameless, but your fiancé is absolutely thrilled!"
Mai Mai suppressed her anger. She was here today to discuss serious matters and couldn't let Bai Zhenzhu sway her with just a few words.
She suddenly calmed down. "Bai Zhenzhu, you're not allowed to seduce Shi Jin again. I can pretend I don't know anything about what happened yesterday, but if you dare to do something shameless like this again, don't blame me for being ruthless! My father is the top official in Kyoto. Getting rid of you would be a piece of cake for him!"
"Oh? Is it that scary? But I won't. What if I want to seduce Shi Jin? You have no idea how good Shi Jin is in bed. I really can't bear to part with him!"
"White Pearl! You bitch! You'll die a horrible death! I'm going to kill you!"
The incident ended with the security guards kicking the crazed Mai Mai out.
Mai Mai left with her hysteria, but Bai Zhenzhu's provocative and vicious expression hadn't yet faded.
Looking at her unfamiliar face in the mirror, she suddenly thought of a word: jealousy.
She found it hard to attribute her behavior over the past few days to a perverse sense of humor. She had no reason to provoke Shi Jin's fiancée, but she did it anyway, and she did it with great satisfaction and pleasure.
And there was always a voice in her heart saying: Bai Zhenzhu, you did the right thing. Only by doing this will Shi Jin not marry Mai Mai, and only then will Shi Jin possibly belong to you alone.
She suddenly felt unsteady on her feet and was terrified of the feeling.
It seems like everything has gone off track, and she seems to have lost control of her heart...
...
After being kicked out, Mai Mai returned home and cried non-stop. She locked herself in her room and ignored everyone.
This continued for three days in a row.
Mai Mai's father couldn't stand it any longer, so he called Shi Jin.
Shi Jin didn't notice anything unusual about Mai Mai at all, because he never contacted her on his own initiative.
Hearing what Mai Mai's father said, he had no choice but to come to Mai Mai's house after work.
“Xiao Jin, Mai Mai has never been like this before. As her father, it breaks my heart to see her like this. As Mai Mai’s fiancé, you need to take good care of her.”
"Uncle Mai, I'm sorry. I've been busy with work these past few days and haven't been able to see Mai Mai properly. I'll go upstairs to check on her now."
Shi Jin went upstairs and knocked on Mai Mai's door.
"Mai Mai, it's me. Please open the door. Uncle Mai said you're not doing well, so I came in to check on you."
When Mai Mai heard Shi Jin's voice, she couldn't believe it was true.
No matter how down she was or how much she suffered, he seemed indifferent, let alone coming to her house.
She was so happy that she didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran straight to open the door for Shi Jin.
Shi Jin asked politely, "May I come in?"
"Of course you can. You're my fiancé, so feel free to come in."
Although Shi Jin entered, he only sat on the sofa and did not take a single step closer to the bed.
He crossed his legs, clasped his hands on his thighs, and the sharp lines of his suit trousers accentuated his noble and composed demeanor.
"What happened? Why haven't you left the house for three days?"
As soon as Shi Jin opened the door, he saw that Mai Mai's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.
Mai Mai nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, wondering whether she should tell Shi Jin about the video.
I'm afraid Shi Jin will get angry if I tell him, but I'm also unwilling to give up if I don't.
Seeing that Mai Mai didn't answer for a long time, he was losing patience.
"MaiMai, just say what you want to say. I don't like hiding things."
Mai Mai took a deep breath, mustered her courage, went to the bed to get her phone, opened the video, and played it in front of Shi Jin...
Shi Jin went from being nonchalant at the beginning to being furious at the end.
He paused the phone after only a dozen seconds and then threw it into a glass of water on the table.
It wasn't that he felt guilty, but rather that she couldn't let anyone see Bai Zhenzhu's body...
This seems to be an instinctive reaction.
"Shi Jin, my phone!"
"MaiMai, tell me! What exactly happened?!"
Under Shi Jin's repeated questioning, Mai Mai told him everything about the video and her confrontation with Bai Zhenzhu.
She even deliberately rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas to let Shi Jin see the burn marks on her skin.
She said aggrievedly, "Shi Jin, I know you don't love me, but you can't humiliate me like this with Bai Zhenzhu. We're about to get married, and what you're doing is just too much! And that Bai Zhenzhu, she not only seduced you, but also insulted and hurt me. I really don't know why the world has become like this. How can someone who has made a mistake have the face to question the victim? Just because I'm not loved, does that mean I should be hurt?"
Seeing Mai Mai crying and getting emotional, Shi Jin thought about Mai Mai's forbearance and sacrifice over the past three years and couldn't help but be moved.
Although there was no romantic love between them, Mai Mai and he were childhood friends who grew up together and still had a deep friendship.
He got up and walked to Mai Mai's side, gently hugging her and patting her back to comfort her, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gotten engaged to you in the first place. I shouldn't have dragged you into this mess..."
Upon hearing this, Mai Mai immediately turned cold.
She looked up at him in surprise: "Shi Jin, what do you mean by that? You regret it? You don't want to marry me anymore, right?!"
"MaiMai, now that you've seen the video, what happened between Bai Zhenzhu and me can't be erased. I want to ask you seriously, do you still want to marry me?"
"Shi Jin, you are my first love. I've had a crush on you since I was a child. We finally got engaged, and I've stayed by your side for three years. I won't give up like this. As long as you promise me that you will never see Bai Zhenzhu again and never have anything to do with her again, I can pretend I know nothing about it. I will forget everything. I want to marry you, be your wife, and love you for the rest of my life..."
Shi Jin spoke without hesitation: "Thank you for your dedication to me over the past three years... Regarding the white pearl, I..."
