She immediately beamed and began to flatter him: "That's why they say the Second Young Master Chi is so generous! He's handsome and dotes on his wife. Oh, the Second Young Mistress really has a discerning eye; she didn't marry the wrong person!"
The marriage exchange caused quite a stir back then, and the whole of Yanjing was waiting to see Miss Shen make a fool of herself.
As a woman herself, she knew all too well what use was a good reputation; could it put food on the table?
After getting married, only they know the joys and sorrows of life!
Looking at the current situation of these two sisters, isn't it obvious how different they are doing?
As a businesswoman, she generally wouldn't easily offend her customers, but Chi Jingyu's behavior was really annoying, so she didn't mind annoying him a little.
Upon hearing this, the expressions on Chi Jingyu and Shen Xiwei's faces went beyond just looking ugly.
Chi Jingyu's expression turned cold. Wasn't the shopkeeper's words clearly saying that he was unsuitable as a match?
He could choose not to marry Shen Tangning, but he couldn't tolerate anyone saying that he was not good enough for Shen Tangning!
Not to mention comparing it to Chi Yan!
Shen Xiwei's feelings were even more complicated. With the contrast between Chi Jingyu and Chi Yan's previous generosity, she felt uneasy.
She chose to marry Chi Yan because she looked down on him. What good is a life of luxury when he is unambitious and has a terrible reputation? What kind of good life can she expect in the future?
But seeing that Shen Tangning's life was getting better and better, she couldn't help but wonder if she had really made a wrong decision.
The thought only flashed through her mind, but it never really bothered her.
Her good mood was ruined, and filled with anger, Shen Xiwei was too ashamed to stay any longer.
As she left, she took a deep look at Shen Tangning, her elder sister.
From a young age, Shen Tangning had everything she wanted; what she had to work hard to obtain was insignificant to her.
Fortunately, her father loved her, and she was secretly delighted, for she finally had something that her older sister didn't have.
It wasn't until she met Chi Jingyu, who was already her elder sister's fiancé, that her jealousy finally broke free.
Shen Xiwei felt extremely unbalanced. Why could Shen Tangning have such an outstanding fiancé, while she could only marry into an ordinary family?
She tried every means to beg her aunt, and finally the marriage was arranged. She thought that she and Shen Tangning would have completely different lives.
How come she ended up in such a predicament while Shen Tangning still had everything going smoothly?
She can't always be this lucky.
Shen Xiwei concealed the resentment in her eyes, turned her head and saw that Chi Jingyu had already walked forward on his own, not noticing at all that she hadn't followed.
Her gaze darkened, a sharp pain shot through her palm, and a slight discomfort came from her lower abdomen, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
...
Since you bought too many things, the shopkeeper can help send them back to your home.
Shen Tangning and Chi Yan looked at each other, and silence spread.
Chi Yan took a step back, raised his hand, frowned, and looked miserable: "Okay, I failed to stick to my bottom line again."
She looked at him calmly, then suddenly smiled and whispered, "Thank you, Chi Yan."
He paused, a little unaccustomed to Shen Tangning's sudden formality. He lowered his eyes, staring at his toes, looking slightly awkward: "What are you thanking me for? Isn't this what I should do?"
She had helped him many times before, so it was just a matter of reciprocity.
Shen Tangning smiled but said nothing, and walked forward.
She was confident that, given a second chance at life, even if she didn't marry Chi Yan, she wouldn't let herself live too badly if she married someone else.
But now she thinks there is a difference.
Life isn't the same no matter who you live it with.
