Chapter 108

Lin Qingrou sat before the mirror with a gloomy face, the word "unhappy" practically written all over it. Lin Xiumei was by her side, drilling her on what to watch out for at the social mixer. She genuinely hoped Lin Qingrou would find a man with good prospects. Lin Qingrou, however, was truly tired of listening to her chatter; hearing the same things over and over was incredibly irritating. She had no desire to attend any mixer, but she had no choice. Her recent behavior had indeed been sloppy, tipping them off that something was amiss, which was why they were so eager to marry her off quickly. But what they didn't know was what a massive golden opportunity Shen Chuan represented. If she didn't know what would happen in her past life, she might have listened to them, but that premise was invalid. How could anyone else compare to Shen Chuan? While the situation now was indeed different from her previous life, she was unwilling to give up so easily. She was the only one who knew about the past; if she were to speak of it, who knew if they would believe her? She might even end up locked away.
