Chen Anna had the same thought. A price above half a million yuan was too much for them to afford.

“I’ll buy it!”

A woman in the crowd said. It was Yang Yueyue, who had earlier argued with them. Everyone moved aside to let her walk to the counter.

Yang Yueyue pointed at the necklace on the left and smiled smugly. “I’ll have this.”

“Alright, customer. I’ll wrap it up for you now.” The salesperson smiled and quickly put the necklace in a black-gold box.

She did so quickly, afraid that Yang Yueyue would renege on her purchase.

Yang Yueyue held the bag with the necklace and handed her bank card to the salesperson. At the same time, she gave Qiao Sisi a smug look.

“Tsk, what are you so proud of? So what if you’re rich?” Chen Anna said in disdain.

Qiao Sisi also felt baffled. Why is she baring her fangs and brandishing the necklace at me? she thought. Her way of thinking is really strange.

After paying, Yang Yueyue walked to the two of them in her high heels and looked down at Qiao Sisi.

“Ha… Be envious. There are some things that you can’t afford.”

Yang Yueyue could not help laughing as she picked up the bag in her hand.

She naturally had the right to brag about a necklace worth more than half a million yuan.

Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and walked up to Yang Yueyue when no one was looking. There were only a few centimeters between them.

The close proximity between them felt oppressive.

“What… What are you doing?” Yang Yueyue could not help but take a step back. Her voice was very sharp, and the calmness a moment ago had become a facade.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Qiao Sisi smiled, but to Yang Yueyue, her smile was a little scary. She could not help but grip the bag in her hand tightly.

The scene was so exciting that Chen Anna clicked her tongue in wonder.

After a silent pause, Qiao Sisi seemed to have remembered something and said, “You seem to have forgotten that I’m your cousin-in-law. How should you address me?”

“I won’t acknowledge you as my cousin-in-law!”

Yang Yueyue gritted her teeth in hatred. “I don’t care how you crawled into my cousin’s bed, but I won’t let him be bewitched by you, b*tch. Just you wait!”

After hearing her utterance, Qiao Sisi wanted to clap.

Crawl my *ss!

She recalled the night they had sex. There was no resistance from that man at all.

Qiao Sisi’s voice was a little cold. “I’m sorry, you can ask your cousin what happened. He insisted on courting me. Also, I hope you’ll show some respect when you talk to me next time.”

“You!”

Yang Yueyue was fuming with rage. She knew that she had been defeated today. She stomped her feet and said, “Let’s go!”

The women who were watching the show promptly went along with Yang Yueyue and left Lanxing Pavilion.

Watching the few of them escape, Qiao Sisi could not help but admire her own intelligence. Not only did she put herself out of the picture with her words, but she even described Zheng Zeyi as someone who courted her.

Chen Anna patted her back in praise and smiled. “Well done, Sisi. Zheng Zeyi has been conquered by you.”

“Alright, don’t you know the truth?” After Yang Yueyue left, Qiao Sisi’s attention returned to the jewelry.

Chen Anna muttered, “Zheng Zeyi is not a simple person. There’s something fishy about getting you to pretend to be his fiancée. He might have taken a liking to you.”

Qiao Sisi could not be bothered with her friend’s thoughts. She focused on Tears of the Mermaid which was placed in the middle of the display counter.

This necklace was not for sale. In Qiao Sisi’s eyes, this was the best piece.

A few hours later.

Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna parted ways. One returned to her home while the other went to Zheng Zeyi’s apartment.

The apartment was dark when she opened the door.

“Zheng Zeyi?” Qiao Sisi said tentatively, but there was no response. Even when the lights were switched on, no one was in sight.

It did not look like he was at home. He must have something to attend to outside.

Without Zheng Zeyi, Qiao Sisi felt much more relaxed. She placed her bag on the sofa and buried herself in it.

After a tiring day, she could finally rest.

After a while, Qiao Sisi fell asleep. Her breathing was slow and gentle as she curled up on the sofa and hugged a pillow to sleep.

What she did not know was that late at night, Zheng Zeyi, who had returned home, carried her to the bed and covered her with a blanket.

…

After living in Zheng Zeyi’s apartment for a few days, Qiao Sisi got used to it.

Zheng Zeyi was rarely in the apartment and one hardly saw him. It was as if she was living alone in such a big apartment.

She felt happy and relaxed.

Qiao Sisi picked up the tea on her desk and took a few sips. She sat in her chair and looked at the documents on her computer.

She had already sorted the design drafts in the office previously and was now learning how to design.

She had credentials, but she still needed to gain experience.

“Sisi, Sisi,” she heard her colleague, Lin Ya, calling her.

Qiao Sisi put down her teacup and turned around in confusion. “What is it?”

Lin Ya moved the table closer and said softly, “Do you know? I heard that CEO Xiang is returning to the company today.”

Director Xiang is coming back to the company.

Qiao Sisi’s eyes lit up. That was her idol. She had seen her on television for so many years. Could I see her face-to-face today? she wondered.

“When?”

Lin Ya shook her head slightly. “I’m not sure about that. I heard that the matter overseas has been settled, so Chairman Xiang will be back today.”

After receiving this precise information, Qiao Sisi was a little excited.

The office was buzzing with excitement the entire afternoon. Finally, the long-awaited moment came when the department manager arrived. He clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention.

“Listen, CEO Xiang will be back soon. Work hard and let her see your good attitude.”

“Yes!”

After saying this, the department manager left. There were whispers in the office, as everyone discussed Xiang Jinyu’s return.

Qiao Sisi was the only one who calmed down after the excitement and started working.

After about 10 minutes, the elevator sounded and a woman wearing sunglasses walked out.

She was tall and was donning a white top. She was wearing wide pants that showed off her long legs and heels that were about three to four centimeters high. She looked extraordinary.

Qiao Sisi was working when she sensed someone passing by. She looked up and saw an exquisite face under a pair of sunglasses.

Moreover, she exuded a strong aura. One look and one could tell that she was a successful career woman.

This was… her idol, Xiang Jinyu!

Qiao Sisi’s lips could not help curling up. However, Xiang Jinyu did not stop there. She walked straight into an office.

So stylish. Qiao Sisi smiled and stared at her back for a long time. This was the person she wanted to be.
