Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

Lin Jiaqian's expression changed. "Qianqian, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

"It's alright." Bai Qianqian smiled faintly; she didn't believe Lin Jiaqian was genuinely apologizing.

"Mom, I'll take Qianqian over there to sit," Shen Yan said.

"Alright, you young people can sit and chat at that table over there," Lingxia said with a smile.

"Fourth Brother, Sister-in-law, Qianqian, let's go over there." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he led them to another table.

"Mrs. Shen, no wonder Young Master Shen has been single all this time. It turns out he has exceptionally high standards. He really knows how to choose a girlfriend," Mrs. Li said casually.

"Indeed." Lingxia also admitted that her son had good taste.

Lin Jiaqian was furious when she saw that Ling Xia's attitude towards Bai Qianqian had changed.

She turned to look at Shen Yan and his group at another table. They all had smiles on their faces and seemed to be chatting happily, which made her even angrier.

Her eyes darted around as she walked towards Shen Yan and the others with a glass of juice in her hand.

Gu Zhihua kept observing Lin Jiaqian out of the corner of her eye. She noticed Lin Jiaqian slowly approaching with a glass of juice in her hand and thought to herself, "No way? Is she planning to use that trick of deliberately splashing juice on me?"

Just as she thought that, she heard Lin Jiaqian scream, her body leaning forward, splashing juice towards Bai Qianqian...

The juice spilled precisely onto Bai Qianqian's floral dress. Lin Jiaqian looked apologetic. "I'm so sorry, Qianqian, I didn't mean to."

Gu Zhihua knew she would do that, but she didn't stop her. She wanted to see what Lin Jiaqian was up to.

"How could you be so careless?" Shen Yan frowned and quickly handed Bai Qianqian a few tissues. "You're all wet. I'll have someone bring you some clothes."

"Brother, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. Qianqian, you and I are about the same size. I have some new clothes in my closet, let me take you to change into something." Lin Jiaqian said apologetically.

"Qianqian, your dress is dirty and you can't wear it anymore. You and Miss Lin should go and change into something else," Gu Zhihua said from the side. Since Lin Jiaqian wanted to court disaster, they might as well settle things today.

Gu Zhihua leaned closer and said in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Qianqian, don't be afraid no matter what happens. I will send people to protect you secretly."

"Okay." Hearing Gu Zhihua's words, Bai Qianqian felt reassured and stood up.

Lin Jiaqian warmly took her arm, "Let's go."

Gu Zhihua sent Leng Feng a message: 【Protect Miss Bai.】

Leng Feng replied: 【Yes, young mistress.】

Shen Yan watched their departing figures, his eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness.

Lin Jiaqian took Bai Qianqian's hand and walked into the villa. When they arrived at the walk-in closet on the second floor, she didn't want to pretend anymore and released her arm from Bai Qianqian's arm with disgust.

Bai Qianqian sensed her disgust, but instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Not pretending anymore?"

Lin Jiaqian sneered, not answering her question, but instead saying sarcastically, "See my walk-in closet? All these luxury brands were prepared for me by Shen Yan, and he updates them with new styles every month. Do you think you can replace me in his heart?"

Bai Qianqian looked at her as if she were a clown, "Of course I can't replace your place in his heart."

Lin Jiaqian didn't expect her to say that. She continued, "Since you know you can't replace him, why don't you get lost? Why are you trying to seduce Shen Yan?"

"I think you've got it wrong. You're like a little sister to him, but we like each other. So why would I take your place?" Bai Qianqian said deliberately.

"You..." Lin Jiaqian's face turned green with anger. "There's no one else here, so stop pretending. You know that Shen Yan and I are not related by blood. We are childhood sweethearts. Even if he wants to marry, it can only be me."

"Does Shen Yan know about your filthy thoughts?" Bai Qianqian laughed mockingly.

"You bitch..." Lin Jiaqian wanted to raise her hand to hit her.

Bai Qianqian grabbed her wrist. "I never thought people could be so ugly. They treat you like a younger sister, but you covet them."

Lin Jiaqian tried to break free, but she didn't expect Bai Qianqian to be so strong. She thought Bai Qianqian looked so weak and frail, but it turned out she was just pretending. She was deliberately acting weak in front of Shen Yan.

Bai Qianqian shook off her hand, "I advise you to behave yourself."

"Behave yourself? I should be the one saying that to you. Don't even think about marrying into a wealthy family. One set of clothes here is your family's living expenses for a year. You seduced Shen Yan just for money. You're not good enough for him at all. Tell me, how much money do you want to leave him?" Lin Jiaqian wanted to get rid of her with money.

"How much money can you give me?" Bai Qianqian asked with great interest.

"I told you, you only got close to Shen Yan for money. I'll give you a million to leave him." Lin Jiaqian felt that a million was more than enough. For a family like Bai Qianqian's, who had to take the bus to school, a million was more than they could ever earn in their lifetime.

"This is the funniest joke I've heard all year." Bai Qianqian laughed.

"You're quite greedy, aren't you? You should be content with a million." Lin Jiaqian rolled her eyes at her.

"It seems you have no sincerity at all." Bai Qianqian deliberately turned to leave.

"Stop!" Lin Jiaqian stopped her. "How much do you want?"

"Hundreds of billions," Bai Qianqian uttered.

"What? A hundred billion?" Lin Jiaqian thought she had misheard. "Are you crazy?"

"Lin Jiaqian, if you're going to try to bribe me, please check my family background first." Bai Qianqian originally wanted to keep a low profile, but with someone like Lin Jiaqian, there was no need for her to be discreet.

Lin Jiaqian frowned slightly. Could it be that her family was rich? Impossible. If her family were rich, they would never take the bus or rent a house.

"Stop pretending. So you have such a big appetite. You're thinking of marrying into the Shen family and becoming a wealthy wife, that's more like it. I've changed my mind now. I won't give you this million. I originally wanted you to take the money and leave, but since you're not a good person, don't blame me for being impolite." After Lin Jiaqian finished speaking, she picked up her phone and sent a command to Liang Yu.

"Oh? How are you going to treat me so rudely? This is the Shen family, do you dare to act recklessly?" Bai Qianqian was no longer afraid.

"Aunt Shen hates those immoral women the most. Tell me... if everyone saw you having sex with a man in my room, do you think Aunt Shen would let you in?" A sinister glint flashed in Lin Jiaqian's eyes.

Bai Qianqian underestimated her. She hadn't realized she could be so despicable. "Where did you learn all these underhanded tricks? You've lived in the Shen family since you were little. Aunt Shen is a very principled person; how could she raise someone like you?"

"Of course, this is the kind of method you have to use to deal with women like you." As soon as Lin Jiaqian finished speaking, a tall and burly man appeared at the door.
