Nightfall.

At the Zhao residence.

The dinner table was quiet, with only the sounds of utensils clinking.

Zhao Guoping, the head of the family, picked up a piece of food for Wei Jiu’er and wore a seemingly affectionate smile, “Jiu’er, you’ve been back in the country for a while now. How far have you and Qin Zhen progressed? I don’t have any other intention, I truly consider you as my daughter, and that’s why I’m eager to ask. We are girls, and we can’t just wait like this all the time. A girl’s youth is precious, and you’ve waited for him for so many years…”

Zhao Guoping was Wei Caihong’s lover and now Wei Jiu’er’s stepfather. Zhao Guoping’s original wife died of anger, giving Wei Caihong the opportunity to rise and, along with her daughter Wei Jiu’er, marry into the Zhao family. Although Wei Jiu’er did not change her surname, in the Zhao family, she was still treated as the Young Miss.

At the mention of this, Wei Jiu’er’s hand holding the chopsticks paused. She was called back to dinner suddenly today, and she knew something was amiss. This superficial old man usually wasn’t this caring. If it weren’t for her relationship with Qin Zhen, in the Zhao family, she would not know where she would have been pushed off to.

Facing the sarcastic remarks from her stepsister Zhao Manman, Wei Jiu’er tightened her grip on the chopsticks and maintained her usual fake smile, “Zhen said he will marry me. It’s just that there’s been a lot going on lately, so I thought of waiting a bit.”

“A lot going on? And wait a bit more?” Zhao Manman, who never indulged in this green tea bitch, retorted, “The whole internet is cursing you two as scumbag man and cheap woman. Is that what you call a lot going on? I bet it’s Qin family’s Madam not agreeing to your entrance, right? Probably, if you wait a bit longer, you’ll be waiting for Qin Zhen to break up with you.”

She was the true Young Miss of this family. Although Wei Jiu’er was not her biological sister, who didn’t know the situation in their family? It was embarrassing, her entire reputation in this lifetime had been ruined by this pair of b*tch mother and daughter.

“Sister, it seems you really want me to break up with Zhen? But if I break up with him, what benefit is it to you?” Wei Jiu’er bit her lip, wearing a pitiful expression.

Zhao Manman rolled her eyes, “If you can’t talk, then talk less. Who hopes for you to break up? I’m just speaking the truth. If Madam Qin agreed to your entrance, would you and Qin Zhen have waited from high school until now?

How many years have passed? Do you think you’re some sort of delicacy?”

Wei Jiu’er had a seductive appearance, her voice dripping with sweetness, “Since sister is so worried, maybe I should call Zhen over to give you a definite answer… but Zhen hates being pressured into making decisions. He might get upset when forced…” She did not finish her sentence, but everyone present understood her unspoken words.

Zhao Manman wasn’t clueless. Wei Jiu’er was using her old tactics again, exploiting Qin Zhen’s influence to wield power. This wretched woman had grown increasingly arrogant since getting involved with Qin Zhen.

At this point, Zhao Guoping kicked her under the table, indicating for her to behave.

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Manman resumed eating.

Zhao Guoping turned his attention back to Wei Jiu’er, “Jiu’er, marriage is a significant matter. If you keep dragging it on, I’ll worry about you missing out. You need to understand, a girl’s youth is limited to these few years. Qin Zhen has been keeping you hanging like this. It’s not good for you. You should hurry and get him to obtain the marriage certificate with you. That way, even if the wedding is delayed a bit, it won’t matter.”

What could Wei Jiu’er say? She could only nod, “I understand.”

After dinner, Wei Caihong escorted Wei Jiu’er out, “Are you really confident about the marriage? Qin Zhen isn’t as easily controlled as before, is he? You’re quite different from me. Having so much trouble controlling a man, especially the only one in these years, and there could still be problems? If you had listened to me from the beginning and used more bait…”

With no outsiders around, Wei Caihong was straightforward in her speech, and Wei Jiu’er did not hold back either, “What’s the use of saying these things now? It’s better if you help me think of a solution. If I can’t marry Qin Zhen, do you think your life in the Zhao family will be any better? Zhao Guoping didn’t care when he was young, but now that he’s older, he’s starting to care about his own daughter… As for Qin Zhen, I really don’t have any confidence left.”

Because she had deceived Qin Zhen before and lost his trust, coupled with Qin Zhen’s growing attention towards Shen Qingyue, she said she did not care on the surface, that he would provide an explanation. But where was that explanation? There had been no progress for a long time.

If it weren’t for the chip of the life-saving favor he owed her six years ago, her relationship with Qin Zhen might have completely vanished by now. And that life-saving favor was not even hers. If Qin Zhen found out, she would have no chance left..
