Lin Chuxue followed Grandpa Ye around the venue and went to more than a hundred tables for toasts. Of course, the ones that were toasted were all real drinks. Grandpa Ye's family members, on the other hand, were more casual. There was no way he would let them all drink, and these hundred or so tables and chairs weren't enough.
However, what interested Lin Chuxue was a woman at a certain table.
She was around 24 or 25 years old, about the same age as her. Her hair was neat, her shoulders were smooth, and her face was very delicate and beautiful.
Lin Chuxue was sure that she had never seen this woman before, but from her eyes, she could feel hostility.
Inexplicable hostility, this was the sixth sense that only women had.
When she saw that the seat this woman was sitting at belonged to the Xing Family, Lin Chuxue immediately guessed that this woman should be the granddaughter that Elder Xing was talking about.
"This is the first time in my life that a man rejected me." After this woman came over and clinked glasses with Lin Chuxue, her eyes subconsciously landed on Xu Cheng, who was sitting at the table for the elderly. Then, she confidently said, "But I think it's because he doesn't know me well enough, or maybe he hasn't even seen me once."
After that, she finally turned her gaze to Lin Chuxue. The two stared at each other, and there was a sense of hostility in their eyes. She said, "You are even more beautiful than I imagined."
"Thank you." Lin Chuxue accepted the compliment.
"But do you think beauty is useful?" the woman suddenly changed the topic and directly asked Lin Chuxue.
The woman continued, "I've seen your profile, a talented woman with both musical ability and acting skills. But, for someone like you who's used to being served by your assistants, do you know how to take care of a man?"
Lin Chuxue heard the sarcasm in her words, and she immediately smiled. She didn't want to be at loggerheads anymore. This was a contest between gentlemen, an elegant one.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Xing Zhen 'er. Just like my name, I work in criminal investigations. You don't need to introduce yourself. Investigating and understanding you is also my job," Xing Zhen' er said honestly.
Very aggressive!
This was Lin Chuxue's evaluation of this woman when they first met. Decisive, straightforward, and sharp. It was as if she was examining a criminal, exposing you in front of her.
"Miss Xing, you seem to have a problem with me?"
"Did I?" Xing Zhen 'er didn't deny it. "Maybe, but I just want to see what kind of woman can make Xu Cheng reject a woman with such a good family background. To be honest, ever since I was a kid, the doorsteps of people coming to my house to propose marriage have been trampled to pieces, but I've never met a man who would throw himself at me and not even look me in the eye."
"Actually, I can answer this question on behalf of my husband." Lin Chuxue smiled. "It's not that there aren't people in this world who are more capable and more handsome than my husband, but even if they come to chase me, I won't even look them in the eye. The reason is the same, because a lover can't tolerate even a speck of sand in their eyes."
Xing Zhen 'er said, "That's why I'm curious. What is it about you that attracted him to give up such a great opportunity? To be honest, if he's willing to marry me, with his current status in the country, and with my help, he'll have a meteoric rise. Among all the men I've met, no one would be willing to give up such an opportunity. Do you know why I'm biased against you? Because I feel that you are also acting when you are with him. You're someone who has won the Best Actress Award. "
"Sure enough, you're from the Criminal Investigation Department. But, there's one thing I need to tell you. Where does acting come from? Life is like a play, and the play is like life. An old actor once said that when you don't know how to cry and don't know how to act, you can't be taught. You can only lead the way, but how can you truly immerse yourself in it? That is to give you a slap in the face and make you cry, because you will only cry when it hurts. At the same time, only when you're touched by the scene can your acting be natural. My acting skills all come from my experiences and my life, and these are all related to my husband, "Lin Chuxue said.
"Miss Xing, I know that your self-esteem has taken a hit because of this arranged marriage, but I want to tell you that Xu Cheng may not be the right person for you." Lin Chuxue said, "Maybe you are better than me in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You are the daughter of a respectable family, so you might be able to assist Xu Cheng in politics, society, and literature. So, you are questioning me on this point, but there's one thing that no woman has."
Xing Zhen 'er: "What is it?"
"My understanding of Xu Cheng." Lin Chuxue smiled elegantly and confidently. "I've experienced the darkness of his childhood, and I've also experienced the shackles of his past. It's been a bumpy road, and only I know what he wants. You're right, I don't have as many resources as you do, so I can't give him anything. But what you can give him, he can fight for it himself. He can take whatever he wants. In fact, he doesn't need a strong woman, nor does he need a meticulous woman who can make plans for him every day. What he wants is a woman who can understand him, understand him, and appreciate everything he has done. Sometimes, when he is quiet, you can listen to him talk about his deeds quietly. "
Xing Zhen 'er looked at Lin Chuxue for a long time and said, "Grandpa told me that you probably don't just rely on your looks. After seeing you today, I've underestimated you. You are not just a pretty face."
Lin Chuxue smiled, and then she raised her cup and followed Grandpa Ye to the next table.
After Xing Zhen 'er sat down, her innocent sister sneered. "What are you doing? They are husband and wife to begin with, so how can you, the third party, be in the right? "
Xing Zhen 'er glared at her sister and said, "Do you think I'm that shameless? This is a matter of dignity. It's the first time your sister has been so ruthlessly rejected by someone. That Xu Cheng didn't even look at her, and he didn't even know who Xing Zhen 'er was before rejecting me. His attitude was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation. As the person involved, if I go find this man to reason things out, that would be the wrong move. What's the best move? It's to compare myself to his wife, to suppress her in all aspects, to make this man feel that the treasure he's protecting is not as good as me! This is the best way to fight back and humiliate him. You little brat, do you know what it means to be shameless? "
"I don't know what you, an old criminal investigator, are thinking." Her sister spat. "Then, did you win or lose just now?"
Xing Zhen 'er coughed. "Of course, but I didn't win or lose either."
At this moment, Xing Zhen 'er's father took a sip of white wine and faintly smiled. "You went to humiliate her, but Miss Lin said you don't know how to love. You still don't think that's a loss? Your IQ is high, but your EQ isn't even close to Miss Lin's. "
"Dad!" Xing Zhen 'er said.
Her sister: "This is the first time I've seen a third party lose to the legal wife. It's so embarrassing. You might as well not jump out and just be a passerby. Sigh."
