”But I don't wish to see her around.”
”Why? Give me a reason,” Jing Tian asked, sounding rather serious. Despite how, deep down, he already knew her reason, he still had to ask the obvious.
”No reason, I just don't like her.”
”There should be a reason for that too. You can't just get irritated at the sight of her, for no rhyme or reason at all.”
Sun Weiwei took a seat and replied, ”Perhaps she's too ugly. She's just like a thorn in my flesh.”
”Too ugly? She's not, though. That's enough, Weiwei. Stop making mountains out of molehills. I'm tired, I need some rest. You two may leave,” said Jing Tian as he stood up.
Sun Weiwei and her assistant had no choice but to leave helplessly.
Having returned to her own room, Sun Weiwei still felt ill at ease as she voiced her thoughts, ”What if she tells the matter to others? If she's no longer in the production unit, no one is going to believe her words then.”
Trying to placate her, the assistant consoled, ”Sis Weiwei, people might still not believe her, even if she belongs to the production unit. Let's not worry too much, she's merely a makeup artist's assistant, no one's going to take her word for it.”
”That's true. But we have to be vigilant and cautious too. I really feel like giving her a tight slap,” Sun Weiwei snapped, regretting her actions that day. She would not be plagued with the woes of this issue if she had been more careful.

Just as An Xiaoning reached home, Jin Qingyan informed her that they were going to visit the peak of a mountain to watch the sunrise, and thus, they would be camping there that night.
”But it's going to be cold at night,” she voiced her concern.
”Don't worry, we can hug each other for warmth. It'll only be cold and lonely for singles,” said Jin Qingyan. As soon as he ended his sentence, he received an incoming call from Long Tianze, whom he told to wait at the door.
”How many of us will there be?”
”Five or six.”
”Who are they?” she asked while changing into a fresh set of clothes and placing a camera into her bag.
”Apart from us, Tianze and his female friend would also be tagging along. I've also invited Qingyue over the phone, she's coming over now.”
The couple left the house after they were done with packing. Donning a pair of shades, Long Tianze leaned against the car and waited for them. Upon seeing them, he complained, ”Take any longer and it will be pitch dark by the time we reach the peak of the mountain.”
'What's the hurry?” asked Jin Qingyan as their family chauffeur arrived with Jin Qingyue in the car.
”Long Tianze is coming along too?” asked Jin Qingyue. She had alighted and was walking towards them.
Humming in agreement, Jin Qingyan said, ”We're taking his car there. Hop on.”
Jin Qingyue opened the car door and hopped on without greeting An Xiaoning at all. However, it did not bother An Xiaoning as she followed and got into the car together with Jin Qingyan.
Noticing the well-endowed woman sitting opposite her, Jin Qingyue asked, ”Who's this?”
Long Tianze, who was seated in the driver's seat, began to introduce, ”Haven't you already met her? She's Mo Li.”
Jin Qingyue curled her lips and scorned in curiosity, ”Why does she look so different now? Did she get plastic surgery? She used to be so ugly.” After all, Jin Qingyue had been overseas for a long time, and it was only natural for her not to recognize Mo Li right away.
”She was still a child, then. Now that she's undergone puberty, she's obviously going to dress up and look better than before,” Long Tianze could not help but stand up for Mo Li.
Without another word, Jin Qingyue glanced opposite her, before looking down at her mobile phone. She then began to play her mobile game.
She had completely ignored her sister-in-law's presence. Not letting her behavior bother her, An Xiaoning took the initiative to strike a conversation with Jin Qingyue, ”Qingyue, what have you been doing abroad, all these years?”
”Nothing much, just enjoyed life,” answered Jin Qingyue.
”Oh, I thought you had been pursuing your studies. Your brother hadn't mentioned much.”
”I stopped schooling ages ago. I'm not as smart as my brother. Besides, I'm not very career-minded, and I just prefer doing things I like and enjoy. Girls are meant to be married off sooner or later anyway. Look how well you're living now, just because you married my brother. There are countless envious women out there who are coveting your place as a young madam.”
