Chapter 1003: Shen Yilan’s Crooked Thoughts
Perhaps it was because it had indeed been a long time since they had met, Fang Hao couldn’t help but strike up a conversation with Dan Lingling.
After their chat, Dan Lingling felt even more depressed.
She had known earlier, she wouldn’t have gone abroad years ago to focus solely on studying translation. If she hadn’t gone abroad and focused on wanting to stand by Di Mingzhe’s side, and instead had first tried to please Di Mingzhe’s parents, perhaps she would have certainly been his wife by now.
Fang Hao was good-natured and spoke agreeably, which made her a mother-in-law one would be extremely envious of.
Dan Lingling’s heart grew even more overcast.
After Dan Lingling left, the Rubik’s cube players also arrived, each presenting gifts to express their congratulations.
After all, they were part of the same domain and team, and this was a joyous occasion. Since the Di Family had gone to great lengths to prepare, they should indeed attend, and having a connection with the Di Family was certainly very beneficial.
This of course included Shen Yilan.
She actually didn’t want to come because, fundamentally, she was terribly jealous; every time she saw or heard it, she felt overwhelmed by jealousy.
She had never imagined that Gu Qibao was pregnant, and with twins no less.
This made her all the more uncomfortable. She thought she should concede defeat completely and that there would be no more chances for her.
However, she had to come this time because, at the previous party, she had intentionally stepped on Gu Qibao’s dress to trip her.
It’s possible that she was already pregnant at that time, so the more she thought about it at home, the more terrified she became.
Because Gu Qibao hadn’t said anything that day, she didn’t know whether Gu Qibao knew it was her doing.
Nor did she know if Gu Qibao would tell Di Mingjue.
And since Di Mingjue was not training in the training camp, she couldn’t gauge his attitude at all.
So, she came to see what the attitude of the couple was.
She had thought it through. If it was apparent from their attitudes that they knew, then she would not dare harbor any malicious intentions ever again.
Given Di Mingjue’s temperament, it was very likely that he would make it so she couldn’t even participate in competitions.
If they didn’t know, or if Gu Qibao thought it was just an accident that she had stepped on her own dress hem and fallen, then she could peacefully prepare for the competition and wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for a while.
In any case, she was very anxious, hence she wanted to test the waters.
But what still troubled her was what she had said to Di Mingchen that day; she didn’t know if Di Mingchen had told Di Mingjue.
Perhaps Di Mingchen was not a meddlesome person; he didn’t seem like a man who would cause trouble.
No matter what, she was here to probe, mentally prepared for various situations and looking for ways out.
If all else failed, she would simply apologize to Gu Qibao, admit her fault, and take a softer approach.
Because she had now settled in the country and, with the help of this competition, was about to embrace the highlight of her career.
She would become an international class Rubik’s cube player, acquiring wealth, status, admiration, and worship.
Ever since the news from the last banquet was broadcast, she had already gained a small group of fans. How could she give up this opportunity to make a name for herself?
Thinking about it, she was also somewhat annoyed that she had targeted Gu Qibao and caused her to fall in the first place.
Instead, she should have feigned closeness with her, helping her ensure that Di Mingjue cooperated well with her to win the championship, which would have allowed her unlimited glory.
Initially, it was jealousy that had clouded her mind; now, thinking back, she truly regretted it and felt she had lost much for little gain.
Walking alongside these players, as they talked about even the estate being a private property of the Di Family, Shen Yilan couldn’t express how uncomfortable she felt inside.
