Chapter 45 The Show
Bai Zhenzhu had retreated to a corner at some point.
Then, he quietly took out his phone, opened the camera, and secretly took pictures of the two people who were talking.
She deliberately chose an extremely ambiguous angle to capture the two of them in a very atmospheric way, making it look as if they were whispering intimately to each other.
She glanced at the photo with satisfaction, then quickly sent it to Li Qianni.
Li Qianni was getting a facial at her mother's beauty salon when she saw the photo and immediately sat up.
Li Qianni's mother was applying a face mask next to her. Seeing her daughter so angry, she also sat up.
She ripped off the face mask and quickly asked, "My darling daughter, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Mom! Shi Jin, he, he..."
"What's wrong with Shi Jin? Haven't you two been getting along quite well lately?"
Li Qianni's mother was extremely pleased with Shi Jin, her prospective son-in-law, and often gave Li Qianni advice on dating, telling her how to handle a high-and-mighty prince like Shi Jin.
Seeing that her daughter and Shi Jin's relationship is getting better and better, they might soon get married.
Seeing her daughter's tense and worried expression, her heart also jumped into her throat.
"Nini, tell me quickly! What happened?!"
Li Qianni gripped her phone tightly and screamed hysterically, which terrified her mother.
The mother, disregarding that she was completely naked, got out of bed, walked to Li Qianni's side, and snatched her phone.
I saw a photo of Shi Jin being very intimate with a girl.
She was genuinely startled, but quickly regained her composure.
She advised, "Nini, it's just a photo, it doesn't prove anything. Besides, everyone has social interactions. You see, they just look close from the angle, but actually, no part of their bodies are touching. You don't need to be so sensitive."
"Mom, I'm not being paranoid. This girl was introduced to Shi Jin by Shi Jin's mother. She's very outstanding, and her family background is a good match for Shi Jin. She's a huge threat to me!"
Then, Li Qianni told her mother about Lin Qingmiao's situation in detail.
After hearing this, Mom was no longer as calm as before.
“Nini, listen to your mother. You must not act impulsively in this matter. The more understanding you are at this time, the more Shi Jin will appreciate you and feel guilty towards you. On the contrary, if you keep making a fuss, you will definitely wear down Shi Jin’s patience with you and eventually push Shi Jin to that Lin Qingmiao.”
"But Mom, I can't just do nothing and watch Shi Jin be with that woman! Shi Jin is mine! I am the future young mistress of the Shi family!"
Li Qianni was no longer listening to anything. No matter how her mother tried to persuade her, she stubbornly remained immersed in her own world.
She had only one thought right now: to go find Lin Qingmiao and slap her!
...
Shi Jin completed his task and left without staying to listen to the concert.
Bai Zhenzhu was seated in the second row to enjoy the performance.
She hadn't received any messages or calls from Li Qianni, but she wasn't worried at all.
She knows Li Qianni best.
Li Qianni will not sit idly by and wait for her fate.
There's bound to be a good show tonight.
She calculated the time; well, Li Qianni should have arrived by now.
She looked towards the doorway.
Sure enough, the door opened the next second...
Li Qianni hid in the darkness, her eyes fixed on Lin Qingmiao on the stage with a sinister look.
Li Qianni managed to retain a sliver of rationality and did not cause trouble at the concert.
Instead, they waited until after the concert ended before going backstage.
Lin Qingmiao was sitting in front of her dressing table taking off her jewelry when she suddenly heard the door slam shut.
She turned her head and saw the seemingly quiet girl who had been next to Shi Jin yesterday.
But today she seems to be her true self, with a fierce look on her face, gritting her teeth, and acting arrogantly.
"Who let you in!" Lin Qingmiao was not one to be trifled with, and asked unhappily.
Li Qianni snorted, kicked away the chair in front of her, and swaggered towards Lin Qingmiao, looking every bit like a delinquent.
Lin Qingmiao stood up and boldly met Li Qianni's unfriendly gaze.
"You're not welcome here. Please leave," she said angrily, pointing at her face.
"Then who do you welcome? Is it Shi Jin? But let me tell you clearly, Shi Jin is mine, and you can forget about getting any closer to him!"
Yesterday, Shi Jin and her friends were present, so Li Qianni behaved very well.
But when facing her love rival in private, Li Qianni goes all out and isn't afraid at all.
Lin Qingmiao had always been a princess who was pampered since childhood. When had she ever been provoked and scorned like this?
She took a half step forward, suddenly grabbed Li Qianni's collar, and said seriously, word by word, "Given my relationship with Shi Jin, of course I welcome him. But I'm curious about something: what gives you the right to ask me this question? From what I know, your father seems to be just a small police chief, and your mother is just a small beauty salon manager. With your family background, you are not worthy to speak to me, do you understand?"
She completely overwhelmed Li Qianni in terms of presence, and Li Qianni couldn't refute a single word she said.
"Let me tell you, Li Qianni, don't think that just because Shi Jin treats you a little differently, you can act tough in front of me. Believe me or not, with just one word from me, your father's position as bureau chief and your mother's beauty salon can disappear from Kyoto tomorrow!"
Li Qianni was always the one who acted arrogantly and domineeringly in front of others. This was the first time she had been threatened like this, and she felt extremely insulted.
She simply couldn't swallow this insult.
So, true to his usual style, without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped Lin Qingmiao hard across the face.
Just as the slap landed on Lin Qingmiao's face, the door to the lounge opened again.
