Chapter 86 Bai Linlin's Provocation
Chapter 86 Bai Linlin's Provocation
Bai Linlin raised the corners of her eyes and looked at Shen Xi, the enemy who died because of her. The malice in her heart was instantly washed away like thick, dirty water.
Why?
Why is it that she gets to live a good life in two lifetimes?!
Jiang Ci actually found her in this lifetime.
It's a pity that the madman wasn't so lucky in his past life; he waited his whole life but never got to see it...
Bai Linlin's dark eyes stared intently at Shen Xi, who was completely bewildered by the stare.
Shen Xi put down the sample garment and walked towards her.
"Friend, I don't think I know you. How do you know my name?"
Shen Xi rolled her eyes inwardly. Of course she knew how Bai Linlin knew. The female lead's investigations were always accurate, and she had probably dug up almost everything about her.
This is not,
Wasn't this whole thing aimed at her?
Shen Xi doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of it.
Bai Linlin's smile was both sweet and sinister, giving Shen Xi goosebumps.
"I was just passing by this mall when I unexpectedly ran into Sister Shen. She's become quite famous in Beijing lately, after all, she's Jiang Du's stepmother, a position many women would covet, you know..."
"Stop." Shen Xi said, her eyes cold and indifferent.
"I find it disgusting to communicate with someone like you who has a distorted thought process. Not to mention that I've been running into you ever since I entered the mall, you've been staring at me the whole time. What, is this a chance encounter? Do you think I'm blind?"
"How come I don't know that I'm famous in the capital? Besides, Miss Bai, what you said is really disgusting. You are a woman too. Don't impose your filthy thoughts on these young ladies from prominent families in the capital. They are far more outstanding than you."
Bai Linlin's eyes reddened with anger at Shen Xi's words. Her cold gaze swept over the people around her. The shop's waiters stood at their posts, silent, their eyes all fixed on her!
After Shen Xi exposed Bai Linlin's true colors, she stopped pretending. She casually tossed her expensive handbag on the ground, her eyes turning as sinister as a venomous snake.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's that saying again? You think you're superior now that you're a stepmother? You're nothing without Jiang Ci's affection."
Bai Linlin suddenly moved closer to Shen Xi and whispered in her ear, "We'll see, Shen Xi. Heaven won't protect you. Like I said, you're nothing."
"Just wait, wait until something happens at Jiangdu..."
As Bai Linlin finished speaking with her red lips raised, she prepared to leave Shen Xi's ear.
Suddenly, at the critical moment.
Shen Xi quickly grabbed Bai Linlin's soft neck with her other hand, her eyes as cold as ice, surging with a biting chill in the winter sun.
The sales manager at the entrance calmly turned off the surveillance cameras, closed the store door, and blocked the onlookers from seeing what was going on.
Another waiter was assigned to accompany the young master of the Jiang family and prevent him from witnessing such a scene.
Shen Xi gripped Bai Linlin's delicate neck like a chick, while her other hand pinched Bai Linlin's face, her eyes filled with terror and resentment.
Shen Xi smiled even more gently and patted her face lightly.
"Bai Linlin, you don't actually think I'm afraid of you, do you? You're spouting some harsh words that even a child could say. What, do you think you're the only one with a mouth?"
Shen Xi abruptly changed the subject, her eyes flashing with a sharp edge.
"I didn't intend to pay any attention to you, you clown, but you shouldn't have used the child as an excuse. Only a weak and cowardly person would try to bully someone weaker than themselves and seek that disgusting pleasure."
Shen Xi tightened her grip, and Bai Linlin's eyes rolled back as she was choked. Her head was pressed against the brown sofa, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, her face flushed red, almost matching the color of the sofa. She struggled incessantly with her hands, and her gaze gradually became unfocused.
Shen Xi exuded a chilling aura as he silently watched her struggle before slowly releasing his grip.
Bai Linlin collapsed to the ground like a dead fish, clutching her neck and panting heavily.
Shen Xi bent down and looked at her with a smile.
"Miss Bai, remember how you look now. It would be best if we could live in peace, but whatever secrets you have, you'd better keep them to yourself, because..."
Shen Xi's voice softened, as if she were talking to herself.
"I really want to know."
Bai Linlin looked at Shen Xi as if she were a ghost. She hurriedly picked up her bag from the ground and threw down a sentence.
"Shen Xi, you just wait!"
After saying that, she ran out in a panic, afraid that Shen Xi would catch up with her.
Shen Xi watched with her arms crossed, finding it somewhat amusing to see the so-called female protagonist of this world fleeing in such a sorry state.
Tsk, she shouldn't be the female lead. She should go to the Green Green Grassland to catch sheep. She even stole Gray Wolf's lines.
The manager walked over at the opportune moment, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at her. "Ms. Shen, you're amazing!"
Shen Xi smiled and waved her hand, "It's a small problem."
For someone like Bai Linlin who enjoys acting, the best way to break the deadlock is often to directly tear down her facade.
Bai Linlin thought she had Shen Xi figured out, that Shen Xi wouldn't dare tarnish her reputation or argue with her. Unfortunately, Bai Linlin would never know that Shen Xi grew up in an orphanage and was adept at bargaining at the market, always managing to win over vendors and get them to give her extra items.
Shen Xi really didn't care much about this superficial project.
But perhaps through this battle, Shen Xi realized that Bai Linlin wasn't as smart as she had imagined.
According to the conventions of novels, villains are usually deep and unpredictable, not someone as naive as Bai Linlin, whose hatred is always on her face.
Xiao Jiangdu was finally brought out of the back hall by the sales staff. The child had changed into a Garfield outfit. Garfield was sleeping there, sunbathing with his eyes closed, lying on the grass.
The little guy looks absolutely adorable in this casual outfit!
Shen Xi stroked the child's soft, short hair, smiling broadly. "Our Xiaoman looks good in everything. We can't keep wearing the same suit styles all the time. Xiaoman should change her clothes more often; she looks even better that way."
She touched the child's nose with her fair and slender fingers.
Xiao Jiangdu lowered her head shyly, her voice soft, "I will."
"Mom, did someone bully you just now?"
Xiao Jiangdu looked at her with some worry in his bright, clear eyes.
Shen Xi shook her head, "She didn't bully me. I punched her twice and she ran away."
Xiao Jiangdu looked at her with admiration and exclaimed, "Mom is so amazing!"
Compared to the harmony inside
After escaping, Bai Linlin frantically tried to contact the system.
"System, why can't you stop me from getting hurt?!"
