I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Regretting the Past_1

"No, it has nothing to do with me," insisted Liu Chao, naturally aware of what everyone was implying. He hurried to clarify, "I got to know Chen Yuting only after she broke up with Shen Dong. Their breakup has nothing to do with me."

He was telling the truth. It was only after Chen Yuting and Shen Dong had separated that he came to know Yuting, thanks to Dong Junjie’s introduction.

"I see." The others exchanged glances, and their intention to distance themselves from Liu Chao seemed to dissipate.

If Liu Chao had really been poaching Shen Dong’s girl, they would have definitely needed to draw a clear line between them and Liu Chao.

Since that wasn’t the case, it didn’t matter much anymore.

After all, it was unlikely that Shen Dong would hold a grudge against someone who was merely pursuing his ex-girlfriend.

"By the way, Liu Chao, I remember during New Year’s, you instigated a female internet celebrity to slander Shen Dong, right?"

Someone suddenly remembered that incident.

The scandal where Song Qianqian slandered Shen Dong had caused quite a stir, and pretty much everyone was aware of it.

At these words, everyone’s faces changed, and they looked at Liu Chao as if he were a plague.

This had slipped their minds until it was mentioned.

Indeed, Liu Chao had once orchestrated a smear campaign against Shen Dong, which eventually backfired and resulted in heavy losses.

The actions of Liu Chao were practically suicidal.

"This..." Liu Chao’s face turned ugly. He had indeed been the one behind it, and with all the evidence laid out, he had no way to deny it.

"Damn, Liu Chao, now I understand why Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wan dislike you," someone blurted. "It’s not because of Chen Yuting, but because of this incident. With Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wan being so close to Shen Dong, how could they look kindly upon you messing with Shen Dong?"

Liang Tianhua, who was sitting beside Liu Chao, began to look uneasy.

Now that he knew about the bad blood between Liu Chao and Shen Dong, he had to make a definite split from Liu Chao.

Otherwise, being seen as an enemy by Shen Dong was not a good thing.

Moreover, he would have to find time to explain things clearly to Shen Dong, as it was he who had brought Liu Chao along.

If he couldn’t explain it in person, he would have to make sure the message got delivered.

And so, nobody wanted to associate with Liu Chao any longer.

Tian Hai immediately edited the information he had obtained and sent a message to Xu Lingling.

Upon reading the message, Xu Lingling completely let her guard down. She glanced at Chen Yuting, who was sitting with the internet celebrities, and sneered inwardly.

So she’s just a materialistic girl, what does she have to compete with me?

Xu Lingling was certain that Zhou Chengyu would never fancy such a woman.

Afterward, she stopped paying attention to Chen Yuting and lifted her glass, smiling at Chen Yuyan seated beside her, "Yuyan, Zhou Chengyu and I grew up together, and your husband is like a brother to him. We’re going to be good sisters, so let’s stay in touch, okay?"

"No problem. When we’re free, I’ll call you and Su Qingyu to go shopping together," Yuyan replied, lifting her glass.

They signaled to each other and each took a sip of red wine from their glasses.

"Yuyan, you can’t just go shopping with Xu Lingling and Su Qingyu. You have to invite us too," another wealthy beauty quickly added.

"Yeah, we want to join as well," echoed the other wealthy beauties.

Being in good terms with Chen Yuyan, whose husband was someone even Wang Xiaocong and the others welcomed, was a must.

It was beneficial both for themselves and their families.

"Alright then, we’ll all go together next time," Yuyan responded with a smile.

"Then I’ll add Yuyan to our group chat, if no one has any objections?" Su Qingyu asked as she scanned the people at her table.

"Of course not, we’re happy to have another good sister. We couldn’t be happier," they replied.

"That way, it’ll be more convenient for us to communicate."

"Just holler in the chat whenever you feel like shopping, Yuyan," they added.

Naturally, there were no objections from anyone.

Su Qingyu immediately took out her phone and added Chen Yuyan to a group chat.

Everyone took out their phones and sent welcoming messages.

At the table with Chen Yuting.

A female internet celebrity asked, "President Chen, what’s the deal with you, your sister, and your brother-in-law?"

All the female internet celebrities were looking at Chen Yuting, extremely curious.

Logically speaking, as sisters, Chen Yuyan should have invited Chen Yuting to sit with her.

However, after a brief exchange at the door, Yuyan hadn’t spoken a single word to Yuting.

It was clear that there was a problem between the two sisters.

"It’s none of your business; don’t ask," Chen Yuting said coldly.

How could she not know that these female internet celebrities asked her this question just to mock her? Naturally, she wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction of seeing her upset.

Seeing Chen Yuting’s face turn cold, the female internet celebrities did not press further.

Inside, however, they were very displeased.

Even her twin sister disdains her, yet she still puts on airs in front of us.

Chen Yuting watched Shen Dong, who was sitting between Wang Xiaocong and Zhou Chengyu, chatting and laughing with several super-rich second-generation kids, her feelings complex.

Just now, she had noticed Liu Chao’s face full of ingratiating smiles when Liang Tianhua took him to meet Wang Xiaocong and the others.

Now, looking at Shen Dong,

The difference between the two men was like heaven and earth.

Her gaze shifted to Chen Yuyan.

Chen Yuyan was laughing and talking with a group of rich and beautiful women from Hai City.

These women were very close to Chen Yuyan, as if they were long-time best friends.

Thinking back to her own conversation with these women, they were politely distant.

The treatment was worlds apart.

The social circle she had tried so hard to join was just beyond her reach.

Her sister, without any effort, was already in.

She knew that all this was because of Shen Dong.

If she hadn’t broken up with Shen Dong, she would be in the position her sister was now.

The one laughing and talking with the wealthy ladies of Hai City would be her.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuting felt a dull pain in her heart.

In the past, she said she had no regrets.

Even knowing that Shen Dong now owned two companies, Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao, that were developing exceptionally well, she felt no regret.

She thought that no matter how impressive Shen Dong was, he couldn’t compare to those rich second-generation kids with deep backgrounds.

Now it seemed she had been narrow-minded; she couldn’t deceive herself anymore.

She regretted it, bitterly ruing the past.

...

At Liu Chao’s table,

He was completely isolated.

Everybody conversed, leaving him out.

He knew it was all because of Shen Dong.

Nobody wanted to associate with someone like him who had a conflict with Shen Dong.

Now, looking back, he found his past view of Shen Dong laughable.

Whatever Shen Dong did, he would mock and assert that Shen Dong would definitely fail.

But in the end, Shen Dong succeeded.

This led him to become increasingly biased, even when Shen Dong formed Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao, and made a billion from investing in a gold mine, followed by another two or three hundred million from investing in "The Battle Tiger."

He still refused to acknowledge Shen Dong’s excellence.

Thinking about it, it was ridiculous.

He had come to realize why the insurance contract from the Ao City Chamber of Commerce had slipped from Chen Yuting’s grasp to that of her uncle.

The reason must be Shen Dong again.

With the relationship between Shen Dong and Zhou Chengyu, just a word was enough to make it happen.

He knew that Zhou Chengyu’s father was the president of the Ao City Chamber of Commerce.

Alas...

Reflecting on this, Liu Chao let out a heavy sigh, poured himself a full glass of liquor, and drank it down in one gulp.

This was the bitter wine he had brewed for himself; only he could drink it.
