Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Step Down for Whom, and Make Way for Whom?
Miao Suiping’s sudden move stunned the onlookers.
’Is this woman crazy? Who is Lu Cheng? He’s Shen Nian’s husband!’
’Yet Miao Suiping ran over to ask Lu Cheng to explain things to everyone on her behalf. If that wasn’t crazy, what was?’
Hearing Miao Suiping call out his name, Lu Cheng furrowed his brow. When he saw her actually running toward him, his expression darkened even more.
Although Shen Nian didn’t know what had happened after she fainted, she could guess from Miao Suiping’s behavior and Lu Cheng’s reaction that something must have occurred.
However, even if something had happened, Shen Nian wasn’t going to press the issue right now. Besides, she trusted Lu Cheng. Even if something *had* happened, it must have been entirely one-sided on Miao Suiping’s part.
’Isn’t the most pressing matter right now dealing with Miao Suiping?’
Miao Suiping ran toward Lu Cheng, putting on what she considered her most brilliant smile. ’Once Lu Cheng sees how wonderful I am,’ she thought, ’maybe he’ll hurry up and ditch Shen Nian.’
However, though Lu Cheng was right in front of her, she couldn’t get any closer, because Shen Nian suddenly stepped forward, blocking the path between her and Lu Cheng.
"Shen Nian, what are you doing!"
Miao Suiping had been just about to reach Lu Cheng, only to be blocked by Shen Nian. She immediately started yelling.
"What am I doing? Miao Suiping, I think I should be the one asking what *you’re* doing!"
Shen Nian stared intently at Miao Suiping. ’This cousin’s shamelessness really exceeded the limits of my imagination!’
’Grandpa and Grandma are both so kind-hearted, how could they have a granddaughter like Miao Suiping!’
’It must be from Guo Chunxiang’s side of the family. It must be!’
"I..."
Scolded by Shen Nian, Miao Suiping came to her senses a little. But when she saw Shen Nian’s "smug" look, a jolt went through her.
"Shen Nian, stop pretending! Everyone knows you were reluctant to marry him back then. Your relationship with Lu Cheng can’t be that good. Besides, a man as wonderful as Lu Cheng deserves a better woman. Since you’re not worthy, you should just step aside for someone who is!"
Miao Suiping’s words made Lu Cheng’s expression turn even uglier.
’He and Shen Nian had finally made so much progress, and now this lunatic was trying to sow discord between them! In this entire world, the only person worthy of being by his side was Shen Nian!’
’Who the hell does she think she is!’
Seeing Lu Cheng angrily start to step forward, Shen Nian reached out, took his hand, and gave him a slight shake of her head.
’If Lu Cheng did anything to Miao Suiping, there was no guarantee Guo Chunxiang wouldn’t use it as leverage against him in the future.’
’Shen Nian would never give them that chance!’
’Someone was trying to steal her man, provoking her right to her face. Of course, she had to handle this herself.’
"Miao Suiping, ’step aside for someone who is’? Step aside for whom? Yield to whom? Don’t tell me you’re suggesting I should give Lu Cheng up... for you?"
"So what if I am? I, Miao Suiping, am a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than you! Lu Cheng would be a hundred times happier with me than he is with you!"
If Guo Chunxiang knew Miao Suiping had run off on her own and would act like this, she would have certainly stopped her.
To fight over a man in such a manner... Miao Suiping was truly an idiot!
Most people who want to be the other woman do it sneakily. But not her; she charged right in. And to top it off, nothing had even begun to happen between her and Lu Cheng, yet she dared to shout down his actual wife.
Wasn’t she just asking for a verbal smackdown?
Go and ask Lu Cheng if he even remembered her name, or what she looked like!
