Later, when faced with Boss Ba’s remorse and confession, Shu Jin even lashed out.
You didn’t want it when my old lady was upside down, but now you are acting like chasing a wife and crematorium with me!
Until the end of the novel, Shu Jin never forgave the scumbag. Instead, she is beautiful alone in the life of a rich woman.
This article…well, Shen Yilan quite likes to read it.
Then? Then she wore it, and she became the aunt Long Aotian who was the scumbag in the book.
…
Looking at the heroine who was crying pear blossoms and raining in front of her, Shen Yilan couldn’t help but walked up to her and asked her, “Are you okay?”

Shen Lintian is a scumbag.
Bai Yueguang cheated first, and threatened Shu Jin to pretend to be his girlfriend to help deal with his sister-in-law after they broke up.
Arriving at home as promised, Shu Jin found out that Shen Lintian’s sister-in-law in front of her was not the sister who gave her sweets?

At night, Shu Jin quietly pushed open the door of Shen Yilan’s room, and asked in a low voice, “Are you asleep?”
Change the timid appearance at the dinner table.
She dresses very boldly.
But Shen Yilan was unmoved, “Why are you here again?”
“The air conditioner in my room is broken. Come to your place for a night.”
Shen Yilan frowned: “What about Lintian?”
Shu Jin lowered her eyes, her eyes were about to cry, “Probably at Bai Yueguang’s place.”

Shen Yilan was very angry, she didn’t understand why there was any hesitation.
But Shu Jin is more fierce than her——
“What can I do without considering Shen Lintian! You can’t!”
Shen Yilan: “…I can’t?”
“Are you okay? You don’t even eat an omega when my mother delivers it to your door, are you okay?”
Shen Yilan: “…”
Then?
Then Shen Yilan directly pulled him to the bedroom, and said seriously: “I can do it.”
Shu Jin:? !
