Chapter 10: Winning Over
The watch on this hand looks better than the one Chen Zhi wore in his previous life.
Her eyes moved to Shen Zhi's new clothes and Shen Hui clenched her fingers.
The fashionable and elegant style made the waist-cinching shirt she was wearing look a bit rustic.
Shen Hui knew best how her family treated her cousin. How could they possibly buy such nice clothes for her? The Zhou family had no money to buy them for her.
This dress could only have been given by Jiang Yu.
There was a flash of jealousy in Shen Hui's eyes. Why was Chen Zhi so lucky that she had the chance to marry Li Changjun and become a noble lady in her previous life?
This time she got married first, and even a sister-in-law from overseas came to give her gifts. Why?
But I just met Chen Zhi and he gave me such decent clothes.
If she established a good relationship with Jiang Yu and let this fake foreigner invest in Li Changjun, she could live the life of a lady several years earlier, right?
Shen Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and she no longer looked at Jiang Yu with envy or jealousy. Instead, she looked at her as if she were a walking ingot.
Jiang Yu: “…”
Could this look be any more straightforward?
"Is this female comrade Zhou Xiao's fiancée? I am Shen Hui, Shen Zhi's cousin." Shen Hui stepped forward and said with a friendly smile.
Jiang Yu's gaze fell on the heroine. She didn't know if it was because she was reborn, but even if she tried her best to disguise herself, sometimes her eyes still revealed a sense of vicissitudes that was inconsistent with her age.
Of course, there is also a vague feeling of superiority among those who have been reborn, although I don’t know where this emotion comes from.
Jiang Yu didn't know how to comment on the fact that she had been reborn with a good fortune, and instead of relying on the prophet's opportunities to rise to the top, she pinned her future on a successful man in her previous life.
"Well, I know you, the one who almost became my sister-in-law. Are you raising the price of the bride price at the last minute?" Jiang Yu said, looking at the Shen family members who were looking at her.
Being a sister-in-law of a wealthy overseas man, how many good things can you get? Shen Hui suppressed the sudden regret and looked shy.
"I didn't mean to snatch my cousin's marriage. I just had an accident and fell into the water. I was rescued by Brother Changjun. Then I realized that Brother Changjun had chosen me from the beginning. It was just a step too late. I was engaged to Zhou Tinghuai first."
"But now I have finally gotten what I wanted. My cousin must be very satisfied. She even praised Zhou Tinghuai for his handsomeness in front of me before."
Shen Hui said this to change Jiang Yu's impression, saying that she did not force the marriage, but that it was a mutual consent between the sisters.
As for the issue of the bride price, as a junior, she couldn't mention it and could just wait for her share of the money.
Chen Zhi searched his memory and was speechless for a moment.
"You were always showing off in front of me, and I was just agreeing with you. You used this as evidence."
"Don't be embarrassed, cousin. You are Zhou Tinghuai's wife now." Shen Hui was determined to confirm that her cousin had long wanted to marry into the Zhou family.
Chen Zhi spread his hands, with a completely negative attitude.
"Yes, yes, yes, I planned it in advance yesterday. I asked you to pull me into the river, and my boyfriend saved you. I hugged you tightly and forced you to say that I wanted to exchange you. At night, I also forced Li Changjun to ask you to kiss behind the haystack."
The kissing incident was in the original novel. On the way back from the clinic last night, Chen Zhi happened to see the two of them coming out from behind the haystack with glaring eyes. He was confused as to what kind of fun this was.
Is it more stimulating in that kind of place?
Jiang Yu, who was listening nearby, felt a little regretful when she found out that she had missed the plot. She wondered why she didn’t come earlier to watch the show with her bestie.
Shen Hui never thought that she and Li Changjun were seen being intimate by Shen Zhi, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
He didn't bother trying to impress Jiang Yu, and quickly pulled Shen's mother's clothes to let her speak.
"Aunt, aren't you here to discuss the bride price for my cousin?"
Mother Shen was enjoying the fun and laughing at her sister-in-law's daughter in her heart. When she heard what she said, she remembered the important matter and nodded quickly.
"Yes, the betrothal gift needs to be renegotiated. The Li family gave Erya three hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. Your family cannot be worse than the Li family."
Shen Hui, who was called Erya, looked unhappy. They had long been told not to call her by this rustic name, but they still did.
Zhang Guixiang didn't know that the Li family had to return all the betrothal gifts. After hearing this, she muttered in her heart that the Li family was so poor and stingy, but they were willing to spend so much. However, she said she would not give in at all.
"The betrothal gifts have already been sent to your house. If you want to go back on your word and ask for more money now, you are dreaming!"
