Hearing Chai Yanyu's words, Shen Xiangxue was not happy. Her beautiful eyes were dim and listless, making one feel pity.
"Are you telling the truth?" Her voice was pleasant, possessing a seemingly captivating power.
Chai Yanyu nodded solemnly again. "Of course it's true. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met."
"Then since I'm so beautiful, why do some people still dislike me so much?" Shen Xiangxue suddenly asked. "I've been so good to him, why does he insist on opposing me? Clearly, I can give him even better things."
This statement made Chai Yanyu instantly guess the reason.
Given that Shen Xiangxue could keep Zhan Mohan confined for so long, it showed her persistence. She likely hadn't considered giving up on Zhan Mohan until now.
Yet, he still had to say, "Although I don't know who the other person is, judging by your beauty, Shen Xiaojie, if they can't accept you, then their taste must be questionable."
Shen Xiangxue smiled but said nothing more.
She felt that the person before her was quite interesting. He claimed she was beautiful, yet he hadn't looked at her once while praising her.
And there was another person who hadn't been captivated by her beauty, and that was Zhan Mohan.
The thought of Zhan Mohan filled Shen Xiangxue with resentment, yet she was also helpless.
"Shen Xiaojie, everything is ready. Please follow me." A female attendant walked over.
Shen Xiangxue stood up and followed the attendant into the private room.
According to their plan, to put Shen Xiangxue at ease, Wei Yumeng did not appear immediately. Instead, the person who usually provided Shen Xiangxue with her treatments stayed with her for a while before finding an opportunity to leave.
Of course, it was from this point onwards that Wei Yumeng truly took over.
When Wei Yumeng saw Shen Xiangxue, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was indeed a charming woman.
It even gave her a deep sense of defeat, a feeling that began to make her waver.
However, she quickly pushed the unease aside.
"Shen Xiaojie, how do you feel?" Wei Yumeng asked.
"Hmm, not bad." Perhaps because the towel was covering her eyes, Shen Xiangxue didn't notice the change in personnel at all.
Wei Yumeng continued, "Shen Xiaojie, your skin is so good. I'm sure your lover must love you very much."
Wei Yumeng deliberately brought up this topic, and as expected, Shen Xiangxue's body stiffened.
"Are you saying that intentionally?"
Wei Yumeng blinked, acting as if she had no idea she had said something wrong. "What do you mean, Shen Xiaojie? I just thought that someone as beautiful as you must have a lover who cherishes you very much."
As she spoke, her tone was filled with loneliness and sadness. "Unlike me, my husband left me and our child and disappeared. Now I'm working while pregnant, and I still have to find him."
Hearing Wei Yumeng speak so frankly about her own situation, Shen Xiangxue couldn't help but start chatting with her.
"My situation isn't as good as you think either. I do like someone, and I've tried very hard. I've always taken good care of him, but so much time has passed, and he still refuses to accept me."
Shen Xiangxue bit her lower lip slightly, unwillingly.
Wei Yumeng exaggeratedly said, "How is that possible? Shen Xiaojie, you are the eldest daughter of Black Street. How can there be someone who refuses you?"
Upon hearing Wei Yumeng's words, there was a sudden silence.
Wei Yumeng felt that she had made a mistake. Had she said something wrong that made Shen Xiangxue suspicious?
"Shen Xiaojie..."
Just as Wei Yumeng was about to speak, Shen Xiangxue interrupted her.
"Hmph, who says not? Other men have always chased me. He's the only one who makes this young lady revolve around him every day."
Shen Xiangxue's tone sounded normal, as if the brief awkwardness had never existed.
"What do you think? A man faces a woman like me and still keeps rejecting me. Why is that? What is wrong with me?"
Shen Xiangxue's voice was filled with resentment.
Wei Yumeng's hand paused for a moment before she said, "I think the reason he acts this way might be because he has someone he loves more in his heart, someone whom no matter how excellent others are, they can't compare."
While saying this, Wei Yumeng felt a bit strange, as she was feeling a little shy saying this about herself.
"Is that so?" Shen Xiangxue seemed to be thinking carefully about Wei Yumeng's words. "You're right. He does have a wife, in his country."
As she spoke, she suddenly sat up from the bed, removed the towel covering her eyes.
Then she looked directly at Wei Yumeng. "That person is you, isn't it?"
Chai Yanyu had been guarding the door of the private room. Even though he had taken sufficient protective measures around the area, he was still very worried about the situation inside. However, for the sake of the guests' privacy, the soundproofing here was excellent, and he couldn't hear anything from the outside, leaving him anxious.
He even started to pace restlessly in the lobby.
The others could only watch him anxiously.
Wei Yumeng looked at Shen Xiangxue. Indeed, the subtle pause during their conversation must have made Shen Xiangxue realize something.
Shen Xiangxue, sensing Wei Yumeng's confusion, explained, "Here in Black Street, no one considers me an eldest daughter. Only outsiders would think I should be addressed as such given my status."
Wei Yumeng felt a little helpless. She truly knew nothing about this matter.
"Yes, you guessed correctly. I am indeed Zhan Mohan's wife, and I have come here to find him."
Wei Yumeng's tone was firm, as if she were emphasizing her relationship with Zhan Mohan in this way.
Shen Xiangxue merely sized her up. "You are completely different from what I imagined. I thought you would be a stunningly beautiful woman, one who could charm a man off his feet. But now, while you are attractive, it's not to that extent. Since that's the case, I'm relieved. At least I still have a chance. I am more beautiful and younger than you. Men are always swayed by appearances, aren't they?"
"Shen Xiaojie, loving someone is never based solely on their appearance. It is the heart that matters more," Wei Yumeng said coldly.
Shen Xiangxue looked at Wei Yumeng with disdain. "Your way of thinking is too idealistic. Among the men I know, none have ultimately not surrendered to my beauty."
"But you haven't won Mohan's heart yet," Wei Yumeng retorted without courtesy.
Shen Xiangxue felt a pang of unwillingness, but Wei Yumeng's words were the truth.
