Yan Qingsi scrutinized Yan Ruke through her narrowed eyes. Out of a sudden, she noticed that Yan Ruke had a weird expression in her eyes as if she was begging.

Yan Qingsi knew Yan Ruke well. Back then in the home town, both of them lived together, hence Yan Qingsi pretty much knew Yan Ruke inside out.

The Yan Ruke now was definitely different from the one before.

Yan Qingsi held down the doubt in her heart. “What if I say no?”

Yan Ruke bit her teeth together. “I just want to exchange something with you.”

“What do you want to exchange?”

“The secret between us… I would not tell anyone about your encounter in Country M and as for my past… I hope, you will keep them to yourself.”

Yan Qingsi clenched her fist, pondering if she should throw out a punch.

Each of their secrets… Yan Qingsi thought she had it figured out.

Suddenly, Yan Ruke glanced over Yan Qingsi’s shoulder and said, “I’ll have to leave now as I still have things to do. If you agree to it, please ring me up. I suppose you still have my number.”

“Besides, I was indeed involved in your car accident yesterday, but I wasn’t the one who actually did it.”

Yan Ruke hurried away. Yan Qingsi watched her back as she disappeared and frowned. ‘It cannot be. There must be something wrong with Yan Ruke.’

The way Yan Ruke walked was different than before, maybe she did not even realize that herself. She used to walk with a slight pigeon toe, and though it was not serious it was noticeable especially when she walked fast.

However, she did not walk like that.

Would it be possible to change a habit that one did not even realize existed overnight?

The note of doubt in Yan Qingsi’s heart got heavier.

She recalled that Yan Ruke was looking into something behind her. Yan Qingsi turned her head around abruptly, but only managed to catch a glimpse of the sleeves of a shirt that flew passed.

Yan Qingsi laughed coldly and said, “Mrs. Helan, come out and have a chat if you have something to say. Let me have a close look at just how noble a servant’s daughter turned elegant lady could be. Since you love eavesdropping so much, I’ll let you listen as much as you want. By the way, why don’t you also tell me what did you do to have progressed so well in the social status? I’m a low-life and you’re a slut, so we’re equally bad. Do teach me so that I can also bring up my social status.”

Finally, Mrs. Helan came out of hiding after being scolded by Yan Qingsi. Her face was stone-hard and blazing fire shot from her eyes. There was so much hatred that she could not wait to strangle Yan Qingsi to death.

Mrs. Helan lowered her voice. “Miss Yan, don’t you think so highly about yourself just because Fangnian had feelings for you. Before this, I didn’t bother arguing with you because of Mrs. Yue. Actually, you’re nothing to me. Even more insignificant than a beggar by the roadside. You’re merely an actress so don’t dream of having things that are not meant to be yours in vain.”

Yan Qingsi lifted the corner of the lips into a faint smile, her smile so flirtatious. ‘This old lady is so loathsome. Where did her queasy sense of elegant come from?’

She waited for Mrs. Helan to finish her sentences and replied, “You’re right. I’m only an actress but your son likes me. Yue Tingfeng likes me too. I dare you to mess with me. After all, I am Yue Tingfeng’s woman and I have Mrs. Yue on my side. Beware of my auntie giving you such a big tight slap that it makes you lose your front teeth. Who would’ve thought that a minx like me is so capable? So long as I’m willing, I can have your husband and your son wrapped around my fingers.”
