Following Zhou Man's suggestion, Qin Nanyu began to give Shi Miao expensive things instead.
Shi Miao refused, but Qin Nanyu was very firm and said that if she didn't accept it, he would throw it in the trash can.
Shi Miao wanted to see how far he could go. She accepted the gift and did not miss the flash of contempt in Qin Nanyu's eyes.
Because her mother had transferred a lot of assets to her, Shi Miao truly had no shortage of money. Besides, if she wanted money, it was easy enough. She could just take orders and help people set up feng shui arrays. I don't know what Qin Nanyu was thinking, thinking these luxury bags could buy her off. These things don't contain spiritual energy!
Shi Miao turned around and handed these things to Shen Rou. She had a good relationship with Aunt Rou. Aunt Rou especially liked to treat her to meals, saying that every time she looked at her face, she had a better appetite. It can be said that she was very obsessed with looks.
Shi Miao frowned slightly in front of her. "No reward without merit. I wanted to refuse these things. But Nan Yu said to throw them away. I spent a lot of money to buy them. It would be a waste to throw them away. Aunt Rou, you should take them and put them up for sale. You can use the money for charity."
She paused and said, "And judging from his face, he already has someone he likes. Maybe that person hasn't caught up with him yet, or maybe he hasn't figured out his true feelings yet. I think we can't let that girl misunderstand."
Chen Rou cursed her son in her heart. She had clearly asked Nan Yu several times, and Nan Yu had said that he admired Shi Miao and that it was the first time he had met someone as captivating as Shi Miao. Yet, he was pursuing Miao Miao even though he already had someone else in his heart. Was he treating Miao Miao as a second choice? It was so frustrating.
She agreed immediately, "From now on, just give me the things he gives you."
Chen Rou is quite open-minded. If she can't be a daughter-in-law, being a goddaughter is also a good choice.
Because Chen Rou often looked for Shi Miao, Qin Nanyu always found Shi Miao out with his mother. He wanted to find an opportunity to ask Shi Miao out to cultivate their relationship, but he couldn't.
He couldn't help but think: Could it be that she wants to curry favor with her mother so that she won't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she gets married?
Shi Miao's aura appeared ethereal, but at heart, she was no different from those wealthy ladies who only cared about profit. Unlike Zhou Man, she didn't appreciate the jewelry he gave her, but happily wore the flowers he'd picked from the roadside in her hair, later even having them dried. Zhou Man was such a kind person, and her character was exceptionally loyal. Even when Pei Ze treated her coldly, she remained deeply devoted to him, treating him as nothing more than a good friend.
Comparing Shi Miao and Zhou Man, the more Qin Nanyu liked Zhou Man, the more he hated Shi Miao. He was pretending to like Shi Miao just to make her fall in love with him, and then find an opportunity to reveal her true face, abandon her, and avenge Zhou Man.
On the other side, Zhou Man looked at the invitation letter and custom-made dress sent by Qin Nanyu, her eyes lit up with joy, but she said, "Why did you send me a dress? I don't need a dress."
Zhou Man certainly didn't lack dresses, but she was short of the latest season's couture. Ever since her identity was revealed, the luxury brands she used to be able to choose from have closed their doors to her. She could no longer buy the latest season's dresses, and if she had to wear an ordinary dress to a party, she would rather not go out - it was simply too embarrassing. Pei Ze was usually kind to her, and he would seek justice for anyone who bullied her. But he was indeed not as attentive as Qin Nanyu when it came to daily details. For example, Pei Ze hadn't anticipated her current awkward position and her inability to buy a good dress.
Qin Nanyu's assistant was well aware of the young master's intentions towards the girl in front of him. If the young master's kindness to Shi Miao was only superficial, his kindness to Zhou Man was from the heart.
"You saved the young master, so no matter how much the young master does, it's his duty. If you're unwilling to accept it, I won't be able to explain myself to the young master later." He deliberately showed a distressed expression.
Zhou Man then said, "Well, it's not easy for you as a worker either."
"Wait a minute, I baked some cookies. Please bring them back to him. I specially made his favorite chocolate flavor."
Zhou Man turned around and went back to pack a box of biscuits for her assistant to take away.
She changed into the dress Qin Nanyu had given her. It perfectly accentuated her pure, innocent temperament, and the off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sexiness. Furthermore, the dress was incredibly well-fitting… and she clearly hadn't told him her measurements. Could he have guessed them when she accidentally fell into his arms during dinner last week?
Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhou Man couldn't help but spin around... Well, this dress would go perfectly with the purple gemstone necklace Qin Nanyu gave her last week.
If she showed up at the Qin family's banquet, wouldn't her adoptive mother and Shi Miao's expressions be very interesting?
Especially Shi Miao. I heard that Shi Miao often went out to eat with Qin Nanyu's mother recently. If she didn't like Qin Nanyu, how could she, with her personality, please Shen Rou every day?
Unfortunately, no matter how much she liked him, Qin Nanyu's heart was still with her.
Ever since Shi Miao showed up, Zhou Man had been constantly at a disadvantage, even Master Shan, whom she had placed such high hopes on, had become withdrawn. Now that she was able to outmaneuver Shi Miao, the resentment that had been building up inside her for some time had dissipated somewhat. This gave her a sense of superiority when facing Shi Miao. No matter how good she was, there was still no good man who liked her.
She called Qin Nanyu, her voice trembling and uneasy, sounding particularly pitiful.
"Nan Yu, I'd better not go. I'm afraid people will misunderstand you. My reputation is already bad enough, so I don't want to drag you down with it. I know you have this intention, and I'm very grateful."
"Will it really not affect you? Thank you for being my friend."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Man's face showed a look of joy. Nan Yu said that he would clear her name and protect her well.
