Chapter 65 I am a vicious stepmother 9

Xie Jingzhou saw the teasing in Qingyu's eyes. Even if there was only a slight possibility, he still fantasized about whether Qingyu had any feelings for him.

He was now like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, devoid of any reserve or nobility, only wanting to win the favor of the woman before him.

“He doesn’t consider you his wife. Even so, a beautiful and virtuous woman is still a gentleman’s ideal.” Xie Jingzhou said this without any embarrassment, and even with deep affection.

Seeing through the jade is quite boring.

She leaned back slowly in her chair, her expression indifferent. "In fact, I loathe all of you."

The last syllable of her voice carried a hint of coquetry, but her tone was devoid of emotion, instantly extinguishing Xie Jingzhou's smile and filling his face with panic and alarm.

Xie Jingzhou didn't know how to defend himself.

He changed too quickly. If he had stood by Qingyu's side from the beginning, he would have had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. But now, there is no way to refute what he did for Baitao.

He was even just one of those who ignored Qingyu being isolated and bullied.

"Qingyu..."

"Xie Jingzhou? What are you doing here, kid?"

The sudden interruption of Xie Jingzhou's words caused him to look up and see Liu Chen walking towards him.

Xie Jingzhou was somewhat surprised, "What a coincidence?" He looked behind Liu Chen again and indeed saw two figures not far away, which should be Liu Xiaoyu and Bai Tao.

Xie Jingzhou felt a sense of panic. These people all disliked Qingyu intensely, and since they had run into her, it was none of his business. However, he was also afraid that Qingyu would be harmed and that he would be implicated.

But he couldn't just tell them to leave, so he forced a smile and asked, "Out shopping?"

Liu Chen was discreetly observing the woman opposite Xie Jingzhou. Since he was walking towards Xie Jingzhou and the woman had her back to him, he couldn't recognize who she was.

However… Xie Jingzhou is known for his abstinence and restraint, could it be that he has suddenly become enlightened?

But didn't he take good care of Tao Tao?

Liu Chen was somewhat displeased, but he made a half-joking remark, "Well, the banquet is about to start, so I came to buy jewelry... But you, is something going on?"

Xie Jingzhou's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Qingyu and saw that she was expressionless. He smiled bitterly but still nodded boldly and directly, "Yes, but it's like a flower falling in love but the water flowing in vain. I still have to work hard."

These words were a direct admission, and Liu Chen's smile vanished instantly. He didn't even dare to let Bai Tao come over, fearing that she would be upset if she heard it.

He then turned his gaze to Qingyu, his tone somewhat unfriendly, "Won't this young lady get up to greet you? May I ask who she is?"

That was the end of the conversation, because Qingyu couldn't stand their sarcastic greetings any longer. She stood up, gave Liu Chen a wide, disdainful look, and sneered, "What? Never seen him before?"

Liu Chen...

Liu Chen genuinely felt he had never seen anything like it before! But a voice instinctively rose in his mind—"This is Gao Qingyu!"

But how is it possible?

Is this beautiful woman, possessing both exceptional talent and refined beauty, Gao Qingyu?

He was completely captivated by Shang Qingyu's bright and sparkling eyes, and remained speechless for a long time.

Qingyu was too lazy to talk to this kind of person. If Xie Jingzhou was a male supporting character, then Liu Chen was probably the female lead's top-tier male supporting character and simp...

No, it's a mad dog!

They really don't make any sense at all; everything is just the female lead's fault!

"What bad luck." Qingyu pouted and complained softly, glaring at Liu Chen with her beautiful eyes, then turning to Xie Jingzhou with an unhappy expression. "Thank you for your honesty, but don't ask me out again. Getting close to you guys always brings bad luck."

After saying that, Qingyu didn't look at them again and turned to leave.

It wasn't until that fragrant breeze swept by that Liu Chen snapped out of his daze, his face immediately turning grim. Undeterred, he asked, "Was that... Gao Qingyu?"

Xie Jingzhou's face was also unusually ugly at this moment. He had made a good appointment with the beauty and might even have dinner together, but Liu Chen suddenly appeared!

What bad luck!

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving!" Xie Jingzhou's words were laced with anger, his eyes deep and brooding.

"What do you mean?" Liu Chen was also feeling unwell at this moment. To be precise, his mind was in turmoil, and his heart was pounding.

How could that be high-definition jade?!

Recalling Xie Jingzhou's answer just now, Liu Chen's expression changed several times. "So you... stole Lin Yan's girlfriend?"

"None of your business!" Xie Jingzhou's good mood vanished, and he replied bluntly.

"Xie Jingzhou, don't forget who you are!" Liu Chen glared angrily.

"Of course I haven't forgotten," Xie Jingzhou replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Is it just that the Liu family has climbed up to the Lu family? What's there to be proud of?

"Then why do you still dare to covet... Lu Linyan's wife?" Liu Chen's voice carried an undisguised anger and complexity. He couldn't explain his thoughts; there was a vague sense of regret, helplessness, and distress.

He was arrogant and unruly; when he was in pain, he wanted others to be in pain as well.

Even his brother Xie Jingzhou.

"Wife? As far as I know, they are not a real couple. What has Lu Linyan done that is fair to Qingyu? Even if it is infidelity, he was the one who cheated first."

Xie Jingzhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and added, "Besides, when it comes to matters of the heart, what does it matter who came first or last?"

The last sentence was the same one that Lu Linyan had said back then, and Liu Chen had agreed with it at the time.

"You..." Liu Chen was speechless. He hadn't expected Xie Jingzhou to refute him like that.

Just as the two were at an impasse, Bai Tao and Liu Xiaoyu walked over from not far away. They were standing far enough away that they didn't know what had happened, but Bai Tao vaguely felt that the woman who had just left looked a bit like Qingyu...

But the distance was too far, and her vision was vaguely obstructed, so she couldn't see clearly.

Seeing that the two of them looked unwell, Bai Tao asked softly, "What's wrong? Who did you just run into?"

Her gaze swept over Xie Jingzhou and Liu Chen, finally settling on Liu Chen. "Liu Chen?"

Liu Chen glanced at Bai Tao, feeling somewhat guilty, but more so complicated. If it were before, he would have told the whole story, even belittling Qing Yu.

But when that person's face flashed through his mind, he could no longer say anything.

Liu Chen felt as if he were truly poisoned and was unable to speak.

"What's wrong with my brother? Who was that person just now? Brother Jingzhou, tell me?" Liu Xiaoyu was getting impatient. The two of them were behaving strangely, and she was starting to panic.

But after waiting for a long time, no answer was received.

This is not normal.

It was Bai Tao who spoke up, advising, "They should be friends, Xiaoyu. Aren't we still going to look at jewelry?"

Liu Xiaoyu hadn't intended to press the issue further, but the others' attitudes were indeed strange. Now that someone offered a way out, she nodded in agreement, "That's right, let's go then."

Then she affectionately linked arms with Bai Tao, saying, "You're the best. They're both big liars."

Baitao laughed.

It wasn't that she didn't want to find out who the woman was, but a strong intuition told her that the person was likely Qingyu.

Liu Xiaoyu has an eccentric personality, and Bai Tao still doesn't dare to confide in her. The former has always disliked Qingyu, and Bai Tao is really afraid that Qingyu will be affected.

No, that shouldn't be the case. Qingyu is no longer the Qingyu she used to be.

Liu Chen and Xie Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They exchanged a glance, and Xie Jingzhou, not wanting to see these people, stood up to say goodbye, "I have a consultation to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After speaking, he left without looking back, his attitude indifferent.

A dark glint flashed in Liu Xiaoyu's eyes, and she complained, feigning dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with Brother Jingzhou? Taotao is still here, and he's still acting like this!"

Are white peaches useless now?

That shouldn't be the case, Xie Jingzhou's favorability rating hasn't changed at all!
