The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

Lin Jiaojiao took a deep breath, hiding the jealousy and hatred in her eyes. Like Chu Mu, she lazily sat on the sofa, pointing at the black platinum bag in the high window and said, "I want this."

"Ma'am, this bag needs to be matched." The salesperson was respectful, but the contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Lin Jiaojiao was deeply hurt by this glance. She had come all the way here, so why should she be looked down upon by a mere salesperson?

She stared at the salesperson with a sinister look in her eyes: "Are you saying I can't afford it?"

The salesman looked her up and down, with a smug air of superiority hidden beneath a layer of humility: "Ma'am, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean!" Lin Jiaojiao stood up suddenly, shouted harshly, and questioned her implied meaning.

"I'll go get your bag right away." The salesperson turned around and rolled his eyes under the pretext of getting the bag.

Chu Mu watched, feeling an inexplicable pang of sadness in her heart. After all, they had grown up together and were once as close as sisters. She had no idea how many times she had stood up for Lin Jiaojiao, chasing away the classmates who bullied her.

But now she won't, an indirect murderer of her mother.

Despite this, Chu Mu still didn't want to see this scene. It wasn't that he felt sorry for Lin Jiaojiao, but he just didn't want to ruin his good mood.

She pulled Qi Man and turned to leave, but the salesperson in the store suddenly called her.

"Ms. Chu, the new products of this season have arrived. I was just about to bring them upstairs for you." Before Chu Mu could refuse, the salesperson had already pulled her into the store.

Since this was the case, Chu Mu had no choice but to walk into the store and ask the salesperson to take her and Qi Man to the VIP room to avoid a head-on confrontation with Lin Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao looked at Chu Mu's straight and elegant back, her eyes filled with hatred and a dark look. She also imitated Chu Mu and straightened her soft waist muscles.

At this moment, the salesperson who had just gone to pick up the bag returned and saw Lin Jiaojiao with a gloomy face. He couldn't help but take a step back, but his attitude remained contemptuous: "Madam, do you still want to try this bag?"

Unlike Lin Jiaojiao, the VIP room is a completely different scene.

Three or four salespeople surrounded Chu Mu, displaying the store's new products for the season in front of her. Their attitudes were respectful and their service was attentive.

Chu Mu suddenly lost interest in shopping. Although she hated Lin Jiaojiao, the shopping experience was not very good when facing this group of salespeople who were trying to cater to the customers.

"Manman, pick one."

Seeing that Chu Mu was not in the mood to go shopping, Qi Man clicked on one of the small accessories and said listlessly, "This one will do."

The salesperson was stunned for a moment, not expecting Chu Mu to only buy one piece of jewelry. But considering this was a high-profile customer, she still packed the items thoughtfully and respectfully escorted Chu Mu and Qi Man out the door.

"Chu Mu, it's you again!" As Chu Mu left the VIP room, a finger pointed at him. Yi Fengteng roared, "You've already got what you wanted, why are you always making things difficult for Jiaojiao?"

"When you were little, she copied your homework and took the blame for you. When you grew up, she helped you deal with all kinds of men. Now, you even want to snatch the bag she values! Do you have any humanity at all?"

Chu Mu looked at Lin Jiaojiao in disbelief.

Copying homework, taking the blame, and letting her deal with all kinds of men?

Lin Jiaojiao had been without a father since she was little, and had lived with Tian Aili in the Lin family. Fearing that she would be bullied, Chu's mother always had the driver pick them up personally.

It is nonsense to say that someone copied homework or took the blame.

As for dealing with all kinds of men, Lin Jiaojiao volunteered.

Chu Mu had been beautiful since she was young, with an outstanding temperament. Naturally, there were many men pursuing her, and it was Lin Jiaojiao who took the initiative to help her deal with these men.

Behind the scenes, Lin Jiaojiao slandered Chu Mu among these men, hoping to win their favor and marry into a wealthy family.

But none of the noble family's sons were blind, and they saw through her schemes in no time. This led to a lot of embarrassing incidents for Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was both infuriating and ridiculous.

Chapter 45

Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes immediately became moist. She looked at Yi Fengteng aggrievedly and said, "Give me the things that my sister likes. I don't want them. I'll go buy something else."

"No!" Yi Fengteng, like a savior, tightly protected the woman in his arms: "You gave up the Lin family's jewelry set, you gave up the gems at the auction, and you have to give up this bag today too. How long are you going to give it up?

In the past, you lived under someone else's roof, and no one stood up for you. Now you have me, and I won't let you suffer any injustice."

It was such an impassioned speech, as if Chu Mu was an extremely domineering woman.

"Lin Jiaojiao, even a green tea bitch has more conscience than you. At least she wouldn't confuse right and wrong and stab you in the back. You're truly despicable!" Qi Man had witnessed how Chu Mu treated Lin Jiaojiao since she was a child. He provided her with the same standard of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and even helped her with her homework. Now she was turning the tables, blaming everything on Chu Mu.

"Sister Manman, I didn't. I really didn't say anything bad about Sister Mumu." Lin Jiaojiao cried in Yi Fengteng's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

The salespeople in the store were stunned.

Miss Chu didn't buy a bag, so how could you say that someone stole her bag?

"You are Qi Man!" When Yi Fengteng heard Qi Man's name, he was like seeing an unforgivable villain: "You and he have been bullying Jiaojiao together since they were young, and now you are helping her bully Jiaojiao. It's no wonder that women like you are dumped by men!"

Chu Mu's mind buzzed. Lin Jiaojiao actually told Yi Fengteng such a big secret.

She pulled Lin Jiaojiao out of Yi Fengteng's arms and slapped her in the face.

With a loud slap, the sound of the slap echoed in the store, and everyone was stunned in place, including Qi Man.

Chu Mu's slap was so heavy that Lin Jiaojiao saw stars and lost consciousness for a long time. She didn't even notice the blood oozing from the corners of her mouth and nose.

After Chu's mother passed away, Qi Man was the person closest to Chu Mu, apart from his grandparents.

She wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her with Qi Man's most painful memories.

"Chu Mu! How dare you attack Jiaojiao?" Yi Fengteng shouted at the top of his lungs.

Chu Mu seemed not to hear anything and looked at Lin Jiaojiao blankly, like a heartless ghost.

Lin Jiaojiao felt panic and fear as she watched Chu Mu like this. She knew she had truly gotten herself into trouble this time. The events of the past were a lingering pain in Chu Mu's heart.

But seeing Chu Mu's restless expression, Lin Jiaojiao felt relieved. She covered her face, pretending to be incredibly wronged, and said pitifully, "Sister, did Jiaojiao do something wrong? Why do you hit me like this?"

Chu Mu said nothing and slapped him again.

This slap was harder and crisper than the previous one.

Lin Jiaojiao was slapped so hard that she spun around twice and fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Mu squatted down and pinched Lin Jiaojiao's chin with his good arm. It was the height of summer, but Chu Mu's words were as cold as an ice cellar, chilling people to the bone. "Is this bullying? If you can't tell the difference between good and bad, I'll help you figure it out."

"Tell me carefully how I made you the scapegoat and how I made you deal with all kinds of men."

Chu Mu's fingers were like iron pliers, pinching Lin Jiaojiao's jaw so hard it hurt. Lin Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with fear. She had only seen Chu Mu like this in the accident five years ago.

"Speak." Seeing that Lin Jiaojiao didn't speak, Chu Mu asked sternly.

Lin Jiaojiao was horrified, a strong fear rising in her heart. She knelt in front of Chu Mu and begged bitterly, "Sister Mumu, I was wrong. Please forgive me, I shouldn't have told Feng Teng what happened back then. I was wrong, please forgive me. Sister, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Seeing Chu Mu remained silent, Lin Jiaojiao knelt in front of Qi Man, grabbed her trouser legs and begged bitterly: "Sister Manman, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"..." Qi Man's eyes were red, and her fists clenched tightly at her sides. What happened back then was a lifelong pain for her, and she didn't want to forgive Lin Jiaojiao. But if she didn't forgive Lin Jiaojiao, she didn't know what crazy thing Chu Mu would do.

She held back her tears and said coldly, "Go away."
