Ming Qianye narrowed her eyes and glanced at him indifferently. Before she could say anything, a gentle and pleasant voice drifted from the front.

“Ziyi, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for so long…”

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, the tension eased from the man’s handsome face.

She had known him and spent many years with him. However, Ming Qianye rarely saw such gentleness in him. She had always thought that it was because of his personality that he had been so cold.

Later on, Ming Qianye found out that there was an exception for him, which was Lou Qianwei.

Her facial features were not outstanding, but she had an angel-like innocent face. Her simple and pure appearance made her look even more amiable. Her eyebrows were curved, and her big eyes were bright and moving. Her skin was as fair as jade, and her beautiful long hair draped over her back. Although she appeared weak, her entire body exuded a tenacious strength. Her temperament was invigorating but resilient, and she was beautiful and pleasant!

He said to her, “You can do it alone, but she can’t. I don’t want to see her cry…”

Ever since the precious Lou Qianwei arrived at the Lou family, many things have been changing. The Lou family was already slowly being controlled by the couple, Lou Zhiwen and Yang Li. Lou Qianwei was obviously a great factor for this.

Lou Qianwei was the daughter of Lou Zhiwen’s good friend, Xu Jian.

Xu Jian had died saving Lou Zhiwen, so Lou Zhiwen took in Xu Qianwei and his mother Yang Li and took care of them personally. Later, after Lou Manshu died in the line of duty, Lou Zhiwen married Yang Li and gave birth to a son, Lou Hui. Xu Qianwei also changed her name to Lou Qianwei…

Lou Qianwei left her village and relied on her intelligence to become an internet celebrity streamer. She participated in entertainment programs and slowly embarked on her journey to fame, becoming the next popular star. She worked hard to become an outstanding designer. She had a good love life, successful career and a vast fan base. She was really an inspirational goddess.

Lou Qianwei had become adored by the masses, and everyone’s favorite. Even the heir of the Lou family, Lou Che, almost lost his standing, let alone her, who had been abandoned a long time ago.

“Qianye, it’s you! You’re here too!”

Lou Qianwei caught sight of Ming Qianye.

She was dressed very casually in a low-key black and white outfit. It was simple but did not detract from its magnetism. It all came down to her natural beauty!

Her facial features were exquisite, cold, and beautiful. Her eyes were as bright as the stars. She was wearing long black pants and a loose white shirt over a black tube top and a pair of white flat shoes. Her beautiful wavy hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall. She always exuded a cold and distant intellectuality. There was a faint sense of melancholy behind her eyes, ice-cold and faraway.

She was more than 1.7 meters tall and had a perfect figure. She exercised often, so despite her slender build, she was a beauty of strength.

Even though she was in dire straits, it did not mask her stunning beauty. Lou Qianwei’s heart was a little heavy, but she quickly smiled. There was a hint of joy in her voice as she said, “Just in time. You didn’t answer my calls. Let’s have supper later. Coincidentally, there’s a private cocktail party at home tomorrow. I’ve left the invitation in the car. I’ll give it to you later…”

Before she could finish, Ming Qianye walked past her.

Lou Qianwei subconsciously clenched her right hand, and her palm-sized face instantly stiffened.

She was still the same as before. She had always acted with an air of self-importance and looked down on her scornfully. Ming Qianye was clearly the poor wretch that no one cared about or liked. She really didn’t know where she got her confidence from!

Was it because she was a professor at G University?

How much was the salary?

She was nothing but a poor teacher!

She, Lou Qianwei, had also returned from studying abroad and was about to become Will’s chief designer. She had countless fans. In terms of wealth and status, could she, Ming Qianye, compare to her? She really didn’t know where Ming Qianye’s sense of superiority came from. Could it be that this so-called scholar had such a ridiculous arrogance in her bones?

Even Mu Ziyi had left her and only cared about Lou Qianwei.

Why could she still not recognize her status and keep lying to herself?

When Lou Qianwei first met Ming Qianye, she was naturally stunned by her beauty and temperament. She was even madly envious and jealous. Not only did this woman have a good family background, but she also had a stunning appearance and impressive talent!

Fortunately, this woman was just a nerdy bookworm who only knew how to study. She was rigid, unsociable, and boring!

After she was kicked out of the Lou family, it was rumored that she was very poor, even once dropping out of school to work. Nobody knew what kind of dogsh*t luck she had later on, such that she actually completed her studies at G University and even stayed on to teach there!

They did not seem to have directly competed before, but…

Lou Qianwei thought of the man standing next to her and immediately felt satisfied. She instantly regained her confidence. Her expression changed and she smiled forcefully. “Ziyi, did I… say something wrong?”

Mu Ziyi stared at Ming Qianye’s back with a cold gaze. After hearing her, he comforted her. “Don’t mind her. She doesn’t know how to recognize kindness.”

Unappreciative?

She had never known that he could say such harsh words.

Ming Qianye frowned and stopped in her tracks. Her cold tone carried a hint of sarcasm as she said slowly,

“Firstly, I didn’t receive any calls from you. Secondly, you’re giving me an invitation only today for the banquet tomorrow. You didn’t even have the sincerity to invite me at all. Thirdly, do you have the final say in the Lou family? Even I need an invitation. Do you really think that you’ll become the master of the Lou family just because you changed your surname?”

This retort rendered Lou Qianwei speechless. Her expression was stiff and ugly.

“I don’t want to talk to you because neither your EQ nor IQ is high enough. I don’t have the habit of stooping down. There’s no point in watching a performance without any technical skills. I suggest you study Criminal Psychology. It might just improve your acting skills and tricks, and save you from your embarrassment. You’re good enough to face stupid and incompetent people, but normal people won’t fall for it. You’re simply a disgrace to the true ‘Green Tea B*tches’!”
