13: Are you trying to cross the river and then destroy the bridge?

When Li Qingqing heard Su Mianmian say that, her expression immediately soured.

She had just managed to maintain a pleasant expression, but now she really couldn't.

Why did she feel that what Su Mianmian had just said was a boast?

“Shi Xu still won't agree to a divorce?”

“Why don't you try to commit suicide!”

“He definitely wouldn't ignore whether you live or die!”

Li Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Mianmian as if she thought it was a brilliant idea.

Su Mianmian didn't understand how Li Qingqing could suggest such an idea; she really was a “good best friend.”

“Let's not, if I really died, wouldn't that be...” Su Mianmian paused, pretending to be frightened as she spoke.

Seeing her hesitation, Li Qingqing knew this matter couldn't be rushed.

She had another purpose for coming today, which was to get the bracelet the Shi Family had given Su Mianmian.

She didn't know why, but these past two days she had an overwhelming urge to obtain that bracelet.

Especially in the morning, a very strong feeling of unease had risen in her heart, as if something had detached from her.

After that, her heart felt empty.

Li Qingqing urgently needed to see that bracelet now; she disliked this feeling of things being out of her control.

“Then let's not talk about him.”

“Oh, right, Mianmian, didn't you say that when you got married, Shi Xu's mother gave you a bracelet?”

“It's said to be an heirloom...”

“Mianmian, I've been studying things in this area recently. Could you let me take the bracelet back to study?”

Although Li Qingqing spoke in a requesting manner, her tone held no hint of a request.

Su Mianmian didn't understand why she wanted the bracelet now.

In the original plot, Li Qingqing had seen the bracelet, thought it was beautiful, and then asked for it.

But now... Su Mianmian's eyes suddenly sharpened. She had a hunch that her arrival seemed to have changed the plot.

“Qingqing, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but that bracelet has already been broken by me.”

“Just this morning.”

Su Mianmian said this to test Li Qingqing.

She wanted to see if Li Qingqing knew something.

“What?”

“Mianmian, how could you break something so important?”

“Then let me see it. I'll see if it can still be repaired.”

Li Qingqing had a direct hunch that the panic she felt this morning was related to Su Mianmian breaking the bracelet. She looked at Su Mianmian with an angry expression, as if condemning her carelessness.

Su Mianmian looked at Li Qingqing's furious expression, and a faint smile involuntarily curved her lips.

This Li Qingqing was indeed different from the one in the original plot.

The Li Qingqing in the original plot would not have spoken to the Original Body's Owner like this over a bracelet.

She would even have secretly rejoiced.

She would have thought that after this incident, the Original Body's Owner and Shi Xu would definitely accelerate their divorce.

Now, Li Qingqing's condemning look showed that what she wanted more was that bracelet.

Could she have been reborn?

Or had her body also been replaced by a different core?

Su Mianmian couldn't figure it out for now; she needed to continue probing to find out.

“If it's broken, it's broken. I already threw it away.”

“Besides, breaking it, isn't it more convenient for a divorce?”

Su Mianmian said indifferently.

She wanted to see if Li Qingqing still cared about Shi Xu.

“That's true... but...”

“But I want to see it!”

“How could you even throw away the shattered pieces?”

“No matter what, it's an antique.”

Li Qingqing looked at Su Mianmian with disapproval.

Although what Su Mianmian said made sense, she just wanted that bracelet right now!

However, between the bracelet and Shi Xu, she still wanted Shi Xu more.

Li Qingqing thought about it and felt that Su Mianmian doing things to herself was quite good.

Perhaps if she broke the bracelet, the Shi Family, displeased, would make Shi Xu divorce her.

Li Qingqing's imagination was beautiful; she was even already thinking about how she would curry favor with the Shi Family.

Not to mention whether she could even enter the Shi Family, with her desire to take the place of the current wife who hadn't even left yet, Su Mianmian would probably have to admire her if she knew.

“It doesn't matter. What's given to me is mine, isn't it?”

“Qingqing, if you want to study antiques, I have plenty more. You don't need to keep clinging to that bracelet I dislike.”

After Su Mianmian confirmed that Li Qingqing's body had not been replaced by a different core, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she wasn't a transmigrator, otherwise... “Forget it, I don't really want to study it anymore.”

“Mianmian, can you lend me some more money?”

“I don't have any money now.”

Li Qingqing said in an informing manner.

Su Mianmian: “...”

This was the first time she had seen such a person.

How could the Original Body's Owner have endured her all this time?

She no longer wanted to endure it.

“Qingqing, haven't I lent you a lot of money already?”

“Oh, right, I'm also out of money recently. Shi Xu cut off my funds.”

“However much money you borrowed from me before, remember to pay it back as soon as possible.”

Su Mianmian's tone was slightly cold.

When Li Qingqing heard her say that, she immediately became a little angry.

She hadn't expected Su Mianmian to actually want her to pay back the money; she wasn't someone who paid back money.

Especially not Su Mianmian's money.

“Mianmian, how could Shi Xu cut off your card?”

“Why don't you go make a fuss with him again, and have him reactivate your card?”

“I don't have much money right now, so I can't pay you back.”

Li Qingqing pretended to be a pitiful little thing, lowering her head, a picture of appealing helplessness.

Su Mianmian rolled her eyes at her. She had read the novel, so how could she not know if she had money?

Li Qingqing had taken at least over a million from the Original Body's Owner during this time. If she didn't pay it back, she would make Li Qingqing stay in prison until before the apocalypse.

“Li Qingqing, I am notifying you now, not playing a game of 'will you or won't you pay back' with you.”

“If you don't pay back all the money you owe me, then just wait to receive a lawyer's letter.”

Su Mianmian was now certain that this Li Qingqing had not been reborn and had not had her core replaced, so she naturally wouldn't have a good tone with her anymore.

They would clash eventually; she didn't want to endure it anymore.

“Su Mianmian, how can you say that?”

“I told you so many things. If it weren't for me, how would you know about Shi Xu having someone else?”

“Are you burning bridges now?”

Li Qingqing looked at Su Mianmian with a wronged expression, as if she were some villain.

She had calculated that Su Mianmian wouldn't verify with Shi Xu, which was why she dared to say such things.

Su Mianmian looked at Li Qingqing's condemning expression and gave her a sarcastic smile.

“You still have the nerve to bring that up?”

“Do you know if Shi Xu has someone else?”

Su Mianmian looked at Li Qingqing with a mocking expression.

She felt that Li Qingqing wasn't a very clever person, was she?

Why did the Original Body's Owner trust her so much?

Was it because the Original Body's Owner didn't trust Shi Xu enough?

Or was it because an outsider sees more clearly?

Su Mianmian really couldn't understand.

“How could I not know?”

“Didn't I tell you?”

Li Qingqing retorted without a hint of guilt.

Su Mianmian smiled. She leaned closer to Li Qingqing, her height advantage allowing her to look down at Li Qingqing.

Being looked at like this, Li Qingqing felt her aura diminish by several points.

It was so infuriating; she had clearly worn high heels, so why was she still half a head shorter than Su Mianmian?
