Just a moment ago, Qin Zhimei was standing there, reveling in her triumph over Lu Weixi’s ruined business deal. But then, the next second, a pail of cold water was splashed unexpectedly over her head.
Qin Zhimei always dressed meticulously before going out. Skin care and makeup were just standard procedure for her, and she even had a professional hairstylist from her family to fix her hair. Lu Weixi’s bucket of water ruined her makeup instantly, and her artificially curled bangs fell flat. Her eye makeup was not water-resistant, and as a result, the dark eyeliner smeared down her face alongside the water droplets. It was an utterly embarrassing mess.
This time, even Yu Sihua, who was standing next to Qin Zhimei, was caught in the crossfire and got splashed with water droplets. She glanced at Qin Zhimei and then at Lu Weixi, taking a step back in silence. She decided not to get involved in the feud between her sister-in-law and her husband’s sister.
“So, feeling awake yet?” Lu Weixi said, giving her a glance and speaking slowly.
The rivalry between her and Qin Zhimei did not start after she married Qin Zhiyou. From the moment she set foot in the Qin Family’s mansion, Qin Zhimei had exhibited a subtle antagonism towards her. They were of the same age and even classmates, which made comparisons between them inevitable. Although Qin Zhimei was a member of the Qin family, she judged that everything about her – her looks, the academics, or capabilities, fell miserably short when compared to Lu Weixi.
The fact which made it even worse was that the Qin’s grandfather was extremely fond of Lu Weixi, a preference that didn’t change even after she broke up with Qin Zhisu and married Qin Zhiyou. How could Qin Zhimei possibly accept this?
The moment Lu Weixi started dating Qin Zhiyou, Qin Zhimei’s attacks became unescapably frequent and aggressive.
“Lu, Wei, Xi!” Qin Zhimei screamed. She had been treated like a princess all her life. Her parents had never dared to hit her or speak to her harshly. But now, Lu Weixi dared to splash a bucket of water right on her face!
Lu Weixi, with her calm, impassive expression, shook her head at Qin Zhimei’s raging outburst. “Still not awake, I see.”
Then she turned to Xiaochen, “Are you still thirsty?”
Xiaochen gave a puzzled twirl of his head. At that moment, Lu Weixi took the glass from her hands and with a swift toss, the contents of the glass hit squarely onto Qin Zhimei’s face, again!
Qin Zhimei’s exquisite makeup was absolutely ruined. Her colorful makeup scattered across her face — eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, lipstick, everything was a mess, looking like a sprawling palette of colors. The false eyelashes were about to drop off and her beautifully styled wavy hair hung in wet clumps after being soaked by the two water splashes. Her silk dress also clung wrinkly to her body.
“Lu Weixi!” Qin Zhimei was fuming with rage, all prepared to pay her back. She took an aggressive step forward, but there was water on the ground, her high heels slipped, and with a “whooping” sound, she fell to the ground, spraining her ankle, and just ended up in a split. Moreover, her dress got torn in all the ruckus.
Lu Weixi looked down at her from a high position, then strolled casually in her high heels to face her. “Looks like you’re finally wide awake now.”
Qin Zhimei’s embarrassing fall was a pitiful sight. Her legs were throbbing with pain. Just as she was about to say something, she drew in a breath through her teeth in pain.
Seeing that Qin Zhimei was about to lash out again, Lu Weixi decided to strike first. She threw the two plastic cups she had in her hand at Qin Zhimei. Then with a flick of her chin and an indifferent expression, she warned, “Next time you’re out of your senses, stay at home. If you run into me, remember, I am not your mother. I won’t put up with your bad behavior. For each time I see you, I’ll sort you out once..”
