Sheng Miaomiao covered her face and said shyly, “I don’t think I can buy a belt. I’ll go for a tie today!”
“Isn’t it more exciting to give a belt? In the future, Gu Yanzhou will think of you every time he wears a belt…”
“Sister-in-law, stop it. It’s so embarrassing.”
Jiang Niansheng stopped teasing her. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop kidding. Let’s help you choose a tie.”
The shop assistant was very perceptive. From the way Jiang Niansheng and Sheng Miaomiao were dressed, she knew they were rich ladies so she received them well. “Ladies, we just received a batch of the current season’s ties. There are many to choose from. This way please.”
They were choosing the ties when a female voice said, “This belt is not bad. Hanye will like it. Can you take it out for me to see?”
That was… Xia Caiwei’s voice!
Jiang Niansheng and Sheng Miaomiao turned their heads to look.
They saw Xia Caiwei standing in front of a counter, pointing at a belt.
“Sister-in-law…” Sheng Miaomiao looked at her. “Am I mistaken or I heard she’s going to buy a belt for my big brother?”
“No, I heard it too.”
“This woman.” Sheng Miaomiao immediately rolled up her sleeves. “How shameless can she be? How desperate she wants to be a mistress. I’m going to… Eh…”
Jiang Niansheng pulled her back.
“Sister-in-law, why are you pulling me back? I know it’s inconvenient for you to argue with her so leave this to me. I will help you tear her apart!”
Jiang Niansheng explained, “We were here first and we had been here for more than ten minutes already. She must have seen us and said those things on purpose.”
“But that doesn’t excuse her behavior.”
“If you go after her, it’ll only lower your status and you’ll appear in the wrong.” Jiang Niansheng said, “She’ll complain to Sheng Hanye and tell on us. We’ll only get scolded.”
Sheng Miaomiao looked at her with admiration. “Sister-in-law, does this mean you have a better idea?”
“Watch me.”
Jiang Niansheng walked straight to Xia Caiwei.
Xia Caiwei pretended not to see her and continued to choose.
“What a coincidence.” Jiang Niansheng greeted her. “Miss Xia, I will never forget the time you’ve invited me out for coffee!”
Xia Caiwei did not even look at her as she said, “It’s just a cup of coffee. You’re welcome.”
‘She really sees herself as a winner.’ Jiang Niansheng smiled, “I was too careless and had to admit defeat. But who are you buying this belt for?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
“If it’s for any other man, it would have nothing to do with me.” Jiang Niansheng replied, “But if it’s for Sheng Hanye, well… Don’t you think it has everything to do with me?”
Xia Caiwei’s expression changed. ‘If I say that it’s for another man, it would mean I have another man I’m close to. Sheng Hanye will be mad when he finds out; However, if I admit that the belt is for Sheng Hanye… Jiang Niansheng will not let it go.’
Jiang Niansheng’s words stumped her.
“Why aren’t you answering? Well, I thought I heard you were going to buy the belt for Sheng Hanye.” Jiang Niansheng said and looked at Sheng Miaomiao. “You heard it too, right?”
Sheng Miaomiao nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I heard it. I’m a witness.”
Xia Caiwei clenched the belt in her hand, and she smiled, “I just thought it would be a good gift for Hanye.”
“Who are you to buy a belt for my husband?” Jiang Niansheng asked.
The shop assistant looked at Xia Caiwei with disdain. The mistress came to buy a gift and came across the wife? How shameless.
“Miss Jiang,” Xia Caiwei gritted her teeth. “You don’t have to be so sarcastic.”
“I’m sarcastic? How many times I’ve reminded you to refer to me as Mrs. Sheng? Why won’t you do that?” Then Jiang Niansheng reached for the leather belt.
However, Xia Caiwei held it tightly and refused to let go.
“I picked this first.” Xia Caiwei said.
Jiang Niansheng smiled. “You have good taste. This belt is really suitable for my husband. I’ll buy it for him.”
Xia Caiwei’s face turned white. Since Sheng Miaomiao was there, she didn’t want to lose her temper.
“Miss Xia,” the shop assistant said disdainfully, “This lady wants to buy it for her husband. Please give the belt to me so I can clear the payment for Mrs. Sheng.”
No one liked a mistress.
Xia Caiwei was humiliated and had no choice but to let go.
Jiang Niansheng picked up the belt and deliberately studied it deliberately. “Not bad. Wrap it up.”
Sheng Miaomiao applauded Jiang Niansheng crazily in her mind. ‘Sister-in-law is so awesome! She easily turned the situation around and has embarrassed Xia Caiwei instead!’
“Mrs. Sheng,” The shop assistant said politely. “Why don’t you buy something extra for your husband? We have a lot of men’s products like a new line of underwear…”
‘What? Underwear? I’d be crazy to buy underwear for Sheng Hanye!’
“She’ll take it!” Sheng Miaomiao nodded. “Sister-in-law, big brother will be so happy when he finds out.”
“Erm…” Before she could say anything, the shop assistant already packed everything. “Mrs. Sheng, I believe your husband will like these gifts.”
‘Fine then…’
Xia Caiwei looked at this scene and was so angry that her face turned crooked.
Jiang Niansheng swiped her card and carried the shopping bag. She smiled sweetly at Xia Caiwei. “Miss Xia, we’ll be leaving then. Take your time!”
Sheng Miaomiao added, “Miss Xia, I’d say to stop wasting your time.”
Her sharp nails dug into her palm, but Xia Caiwei could do nothing.
She turned around and left. She saw Ye Ziya walk through the mall entrance. Ye Ziya looked around as if looking for someone.
‘She’s probably looking for Jiang Niansheng.’ Xia Caiwei smiled. This was her chance. ‘Jiang Niansheng, let’s see how you’d handle this.’
She deliberately raised her voice. “Mrs. Sheng, the higher they are, the harder they fall. Remember that.”
“You don’t have to worry about me. Take care of yourself.”
Sure enough, Ye Ziya heard them. Ye Ziya ran to the shop.
“So here you are.” Ye Ziya pointed at Jiang Niansheng. “I’ve finally found you.”
Jiang Niansheng looked at her in bafflement. “Why are you looking for me?”
“To tear off your fake artificial face!”
“Artificial face?” Jiang Niansheng was stunned. “You mean, I’ve had plastic surgery?”
Ye Ziya nodded smugly. “Yes, in order to marry Hanye, you went for plastic surgery to change your face. If he finds out, he will definitely divorce you immediately!”
Jiang Niansheng looked at Sheng Miaomiao speechlessly. “Is this woman crazy?”
“Stop acting.” Ye Ziya raised her hand and grabbed her face. “I’m going to crush the silicone implant in your nose!”
“Do you want a fight?” Jiang Niansheng couldn’t be compared to a professional guard but it was enough to deal with Ye Ziya.
Back at the office, Sheng Hanye received a call from Yang Zhang.
“CEO Sheng, this is bad! Madam got into a fight with someone at the mall!”
