Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

While she was thinking, she felt Shen Mengqi glaring fiercely in her direction.     

Ye Wanwan raised her brows innocuously and asked leisurely, "Mengqi, I didn't know things would turn out like that! You won't blame me, will you?"     

Shen Mengqi was so pissed listening to all the nasty whispers around her but she could only force herself to hold it in and hide the darkness beneath her eyes. She forced a laugh, "Wanwan, why would I… Why would I blame you… ? You didn't do it on purpose…"     

Shen Mengqi spoke through gritted teeth and her eyes swept across the people who remained. Then, she explained to her urgently, "Actually, Yanran misunderstood me. Why would I steal her sweetheart?!"     

Song Zihang did in fact like me and has always been courting me but I've never responded to him and even went to make things clear with him. He took the chance and kissed me when I wasn't paying attention. I didn't make the first move; I wasn't expecting it at all…"     

I was afraid that Yanran would misunderstand so I kept it from her, but who could've guessed that you…"     

Since Yanran was gone and Song Zihang wasn't there, nobody knew the truth. Shen Mengqi tried to smooth everything over and pushed the blame onto Ye Wanwan instead.     

Ye Wanwan didn't give the game away either; she responded as if she just had a sudden revelation, "That's what I said, the person you like is obviously my brother!"     

Shen Mengqi was startled by what she said and then corrected her sternly, "Wanwan, don't spout nonsense, I've always treated Mufan as my own older brother. I liked him only as an older brother!"     

Now that Star Entertainment under the Shen family was thriving, she'd become a big star in future. With a bright future ahead of her, there would be countless boys chasing her. She didn't want to have anything to do with that good-for-nothing loser, Ye Mufan.     

She was holding onto him only because he had some value she could use.     

What Shen Mengqi said about treating Ye Mufan like her own brother was enough to make Ye Wanwan choke in disgust.     

As if she didn't know what Shen Mengqi was truly thinking about. She sneered in her heart and asked suspiciously, "Really? I personally mailed out the love letter you gave my brother! The letter was very mushy; something like 'I fell in love with you when I first saw you, you are the perfect god in my heart…'     

It turns out I was wrong--that's considered liking someone as a brother? And I thought you looked down on my brother because of what happened to my dad!"     

The attentive crowd suddenly let out a sigh, revealing that they understood clearly and they looked at Shen Mengqi with even more disgust.     

With regards to Shen Mengqi's explanation, they were doubtful of her and most still stood by Jiang Yanran's side.     

Hearing what Ye Wanwan said now, they suddenly felt that Shen Mengqi was indeed guilty of despising the poor and seeking favour with the rich. Ye Wanwan's elder brother, Ye Mufan, was also a popular figure in Qing He previously and many people knew about Shen Mengqi chasing after him.     

Now she's saying that she views him as a brother? Who would believe her?!     

Shen Mengqi was stunned, "Wanwan, that was so long ago, I was still young and ignorant. I didn't know what love was!     

Also, how can I possibly distance myself from you and Mufan because of what happened to your family? If those were my intentions, why would I be so close to you and even help your brother get into my father's company?"     

Shen Mengqi suddenly gained some confidence. She laughed and said, "Other than his hobby of gambling, Mufan's quite hardworking at work--my dad even complimented him a few days ago! As long as Mufan works hard, my dad will never treat him badly!"
