Chapter 200
Seeing Shen Qingqiu’s scrutinizing gaze, Jiang Yun’er felt ashamed and lowered her head, her delicate hands nervously clenching together.
Shen Qingqiu glared at her three junior sisters with frustration and said calmly, “Just confess. Who wants to go first?”
“I’ll go first…” Jiang Yun’er glanced at Lin Xiyan and Gu Yunqi with a strange look. She truly hadn’t expected her two senior sisters to be in the same situation as herself.
“The last time at home, Ye Chen came to seek revenge on me, and my brother happened to come and save me. Thats when I started pursuing him…” Jiang Yun’er said bashfully after some hesitation. After all, it had been her actively pursuing him from the start, which made her feel a bit shy.
“Didn’t you consider that he is my man? How could you do this to me?” Shen Qingqiu looked at the little girl with scrutinizing eyes, gritting her teeth.
“Don’t worry, senior sister. I won’t steal your boyfriend.” Jiang Yun’er said with a smile, walking up to Shen Qingqiu and shaking her arm. “I just want to be his little wife. I won’t fight for your main wife’s position!”
From the beginning, that was her intention. After all, she knew her actions were somewhat out of line. Seeing Jiang Yun’er speaking so earnestly, Shen Qingqiu was speechless. Although she was filled with anger, she couldn’t bring herself to scold her.
She had always been very doting on Jiang Yun’er, and seeing her act so coquettishly, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t say a harsh word.
“I’ll let you off this time!” With a cold snort, Shen Qingqiu turned her gaze to Lin Xiyan and Gu Yunqi, her attitude much less friendly, her tone icy.
“You two, who wants to go first?” Although Jiang Yun’er was already an adult, her petite stature and youthful appearance made Shen Qingqiu subconsciously treat her like a child.
But Lin Xiyan and Gu Yunqi were not children, so Shen Qingqiu showed no mercy. Jiang Yun’er pulled a chair over, sat down, and swung her legs in white silk stockings, eagerly watching the show.
“I met Jiang Che at university, and that’s how we got to know each other. At first, I didn’t know he was your fiancé…” Lin Xiyan briefly recounted how she and Jiang Che met, then stepped aside quietly, looking like a student who had made a mistake.
“And you?” Shen Qingqiu turned to Gu Yunqi, frowning.
“It was Jiang Che who threatened me from the beginning!” Gu Yunqi said frankly. She wasn’t lying.
Ever since Jiang Che had inexplicably threatened her at her bar, she had been at his mercy. Her feelings towards Jiang Che were complex, filled with resentment. After all, he had treated her quite poorly. Yet, sometimes, she found herself inexplicably attracted to his domineering nature.
But she dared not show her hatred towards Jiang Che, or he would make her suffer even more. Facing Shen Qingqiu’s scrutinizing gaze, Gu Yunqi appeared quite candid.
“He threatened you?” Shen Qingqiu frowned, pondering. She didn’t doubt Gu Yunqi’s words. She knew Jiang Che wasn’t as kind as he seemed; he was very good at disguising himself, even deceiving her.
“Regardless, you all were wrong! I’ve decided to discipline you with the sect’s rules today.” Shen Qingqiu glanced at the three of them and said coldly. She couldn’t let this go unpunished; she needed to vent her anger.
“But senior sister, I was forced!” Gu Yunqi said, feeling aggrieved.
Damn it, she was coerced by Jiang Che and now being punished by her senior sister. What kind of justice was this?
“Follow me.” Shen Qingqiu gave them no chance to explain further and left the office, heading towards her private room.
The three women exchanged glances, none wanting to follow her, knowing what awaited them.
“This is our fault, we should go.” Lin Xiyan sighed and led the way.
Jiang Yun’er and Gu Yunqi exchanged looks, then reluctantly followed.
…
“Will you still misbehave?” An hour later, Shen Qingqiu looked at the three women in front of her and sneered. They had been thoroughly disciplined and were now very submissive.
“No, we won’t…” Jiang Yun’er quickly shook her head, still feeling scared. Shen Qingqiu had shown no mercy.
Lin Xiyan also shook her head in assurance, while Gu Yunqi’s face was flushed and her breathing was uneven. Being disciplined by Shen Qingqiu had strangely awakened some odd feelings in her.
“What’s wrong with you?” Shen Qingqiu asked Gu Yunqi, frowning.
Had she hit her too hard? But that shouldn’t be the case; Gu Yunqi had cultivation and shouldn’t be hurt that easily.
“I’m fine…” Gu Yunqi shook her head, calming herself and dismissing her chaotic thoughts.
Shen Qingqiu didn’t dwell on it, looking at her three junior sisters, “Do you know if Jiang Che has other women?”
“Probably not…” Lin Xiyan said uncertainly. She hadn’t known about his relationships with Gu Yunqi and Jiang Yun’er until now.
Feeling even more resentful towards Jiang Che, she thought he was too much of a scumbag, causing all these problems.
Jiang Yun’er and Gu Yunqi both shook their heads. Jiang Yun’er didn’t want to say anything, knowing her fifth sister, Ji Menglan, also had a complicated relationship with Jiang Che. She feared telling the truth would make Shen Qingqiu even angrier, as for Gu Yunqi genuinely didn’t know.
“Alright, you can go. From now on, keep an eye on Jiang Che. Don’t let him find other women, or you’ll be held responsible.” After warning her junior sisters, Shen Qingqiu waved them off.
Since the situation had already occurred, she had to accept it. She had vented her anger by disciplining her junior sisters, so she felt somewhat relieved. With her busy schedule, she will rely on her junior sisters to monitor Jiang Che, hoping he wouldn’t mess around anymore.
“We’ll leave now, senior sister.”
The women tactfully left, not wanting to disturb Shen Qingqiu further.
