Chapter 448 Don't Settle Him
But since Miss Shen invited her, she couldn't refuse.
Even if you can't make friends, you can't make a powerful enemy for yourself.
But it was clear that Chen Pin had other intentions.
Chen Pin wanted to make friends with Qiao Jingru, so she invited Song Zhenzhen and another lady who was on good terms with her to have tea together, in order to show that she was willing to accept Qiao Jingru.
"Pin'er, who is it that requires you to go to so much trouble to please her?" The speaker was Wu Wei, the third daughter of Commander Wu of the Imperial Guard.
Song Zhenzhen held the teacup and drank a sip of tea gracefully, then chuckled and said, "The younger sister of the newly crowned champion, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the new Minister of Works."
After hearing this, Wu Wei instantly became excited.
"Ah, so she is the sister of the new champion. I also watched the champion parade that day. It is said that the third place winner is the most handsome one since ancient times, but I think the new champion is even more handsome than him." Wu Wei seemed to have suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Pin jokingly, "Hey, Pin'er, you are not attracted to the champion Qiao, are you?"
Shen Pin blushed at the teasing, nudged Wu Wei with his elbow, and said without hiding anything: "Yes, I'm telling you, Qiao Yuanan is the one I like, you can't have any ideas about him."
Wu Wei covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of teasing: "Look at you, you're protecting him like a fool before we even have a chance to start dating. No matter how handsome Qiao Yuanan is, he's not as handsome as Prince Song. I won't go after him."
Qiao Yuanan is handsome, but that's only when compared with the top three. But there are many men in the capital who are more handsome than him, and she will not compete with her good sisters for her lover.
"Zhenzhen, don't you agree?" Wu Wei looked at Song Zhenzhen with a smile, trying to find an ally.
Song Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, and an invisible sinisterness welled up in her eyes.
When she looked up again, she smiled brightly and charmingly: "From what you said, could it be that you have a crush on my eldest brother?"
Now it was Wu Wei's turn to blush and said angrily, "No way, we were talking about Pin'er, why are you dragging me into this?"
Song Yanjun was a man of noble bearing and elegant demeanor, and he was also the eldest son of Duke Anguo. There were many young girls in the capital who wanted to marry him, but that was in the past.
But now, even if they still want to marry Prince Song, they have to consider whether they have the fate to enjoy this blessing.
So no matter how much they like someone, they can only keep it in their hearts and use him as a standard to choose their future husband.
Chen Pin then looked at Song Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, you won't snatch someone from me, right?"
Song Zhenzhen smiled softly: "My father does have this intention..."
"Ah?" Shen Pin was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously jumped up from the stool: "Did Duke Anguo go to the Qiao family to propose your marriage?"
"Don't worry, I rejected it. Qiao Yuanan is not my type." Song Zhenzhen pulled Shen Pin to sit down and gave her a speechless look: "Are you really so excited? You have to change your reckless temper and don't scare Qiao Yuanan away."
Chen Pin covered his chest with his hands, looking like he had just survived a disaster: "I was scared to death."
If someone else was competing with her for the man, she would still use all means to get him without any hesitation, but Zhenzhen was her good sister, and when the two sisters fell in love with the same man at the same time, she didn't know what to do.
"But I have to remind you that Qiao Jingru and Lu Xiang have a close relationship. We don't have any friendship with Lu Xiang, and we even have some grudges against each other. If she says something bad about you in front of Qiao Jingru, all your efforts will be in vain." Song Zhenzhen said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Pin couldn't help but frown slightly.
"She dares to interfere in my affairs?"
Song Zhenzhen smiled nonchalantly: "Qiao Yuanan is indeed the top scholar, but the Qiao family's foundation in the capital is weak after all, so he is not worthy of you. With your family status, you can choose any son of the aristocratic family in the capital."
She didn't want Chen Pin and Qiao Yuanan to have a good ending from the bottom of her heart, because she hated Lu Xiang, so she hated everyone related to her. She was even more afraid that if Chen Pin really married into the Qiao family, her relationship with Qiao Jingru would inevitably be closer than hers.
The Shen family holds a large number of troops, and Shen Pin is also a leader among the daughters of aristocratic families.
Outsiders called her Miss Song, but she was not her father's biological daughter after all. The difference in status was a hurdle that she could never get over in her heart, so she tried hard to make friends with Shen Pin. Only by making friends with these noble ladies could she become the lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion more legitimately.
She has been working hard for so many years, and young ladies from aristocratic families such as Chen Pin and Wu Wei have secretly followed her, making her a respected figure in the capital.
Even when facing noble ladies such as Liu Anyao and Princess Wen Shuang, she can still compete with them.
Song Zhenzhen enjoyed this kind of admiration and would never allow Shen Pin to abandon her one day.
"I don't want a son of an aristocratic family, I want Qiao Yuanan." Chen Pin was unmoved by Song Zhenzhen's persuasion and said, "Zhenzhen, you have never fallen in love with anyone at first sight, so you don't understand this feeling."
That day, she was standing at the window. Qiao Yuanan, wearing a bright red top scholar's uniform, rode a white horse through the street. He suddenly looked up in her direction. The scattered sunlight happened to fall into his eyes, shining brightly, and was also engraved in her heart.
She knew Qiao Yuanan was not looking at her.
But still couldn't stop the violently beating heart.
There are indeed countless outstanding young men from aristocratic families in the capital, but none of them can make her feel that she must marry him.
"Pin'er, Pin'er." Suddenly, Wu Wei's voice rang out: "Look, isn't that your number one scholar?"
Even though Chen Pin was interested in Qiao Yuanan, he couldn't help but blush when Wu Wei called him "your number one scholar".
"Don't shout."
Wu Wei: "Don't worry about it, come and see."
She stood at the window, pointed outside and said.
Chen Pin was startled, then stood up and walked over. On the busy street, Qiao Yuanan and Lu Chao were walking side by side, and he saw a young girl jogging after them from behind.
"That person seems to be He Zhimiao?" Because she was standing high and far away, Wu Wei was not sure: "This little bitch must be going after Qiao Zhuangyuan."
Chen Pin's face suddenly darkened, and then he turned around and left the private room.
Wu Wei was stunned when she saw this.
"Let's go and take a look." Song Zhenzhen said.
Wu Wei nodded and hurriedly followed Song Zhenzhen to catch up.
As soon as Chen Pin ran out of the teahouse, he saw He Qiaomiao blocking Qiao Yuanan and Lu Chaoliang. Because she ran too fast, she was breathing heavily, and her proud breasts rose and fell, making women jealous.
"He Zhimiao!"
Chen Pin shouted loudly and ran towards He Zhimiao hurriedly, like an angry calf.
He Zhimiao was startled by someone's sudden shouting and turned back reflexively.
The next moment, she felt a pain in her arm. Chen Pin rudely pulled her aside, put his hands on his waist and said, "Stop a man in broad daylight, do you have any shame?"
