During the meal, Xu Tingyu was with Chen Chunyao, while Zhang Wan stayed behind to accompany Qi Ye.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Chunyao sat down, she also started to talk about Zhang Wan. "Tingyu, I think you'd better not trust Zhang Wan too much. I saw the way she looks at Qi Ye. It's not right."
Xu Tingyu paused in the middle of picking up food, then smiled. "You're overthinking it."
Hearing her nonchalant attitude, Chen Chunyao immediately said, "How could I be overthinking it? You just don't think enough."
"Tingyu, listen to me. Find a chance to talk to Qi Ye. He listens to you. Move that Zhang Wan far away."
"No matter how much Qi Ye likes you, he can't resist someone constantly scheming against him by his side, right?"
"Of course, I'm just reminding you as a friend. Don't tell Qi Ye. Just keep it in mind, observe a bit more, and then make a decision."
She didn't dare to persuade too forcefully.
Xu Tingyu didn't say a word, just looked at her thoughtfully.
When they were almost done eating, Chen Chunyao suddenly changed her expression and stood up from her chair.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Tingyu followed her gaze towards the restaurant entrance.
But she saw nothing.
A look of confusion flashed across Chen Chunyao's face, but it quickly faded. "It's okay. I misread."
How could Qi Shifeng be here? She must have misread.
Xu Tingyu didn't think much about it.
After they finished eating and were leaving the restaurant, they ran into Ma Yiyi and her group.
Seeing Chen Chunyao sitting in an electric wheelchair, Ma Yiyi curled her lips into a sneer.
Xu Tingyu didn't see Qi Shifeng or Du Jiran, and somehow she let out a sigh of relief.
"Aren't you the big star Chen? Even with a broken leg, you can't stay still. What, do you want to be spotted and have people take pictures of you looking so pathetic?"
As soon as she saw Chen Chunyao, Ma Yiyi immediately started mocking.
She really hated Chen Chunyao in every sense.
This time, Chen Chunyao didn't back down either. "I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Just wait for the lawyer's letter."
She had talked to Qi Ye about it yesterday, and Qi Ye had promised to help her.
Whether he was helping because Xu Tingyu had also been bullied by Ma Yiyi or not, in any case, this Ma Yiyi wouldn't be able to cause trouble for much longer.
She didn't need to back down anymore.
Xu Tingyu also frowned and looked at Ma Yiyi. "Miss Ma, there's no need to be so confrontational every time we meet. She's in a wheelchair because of you."
Now Ma Yiyi hated Xu Tingyu too, so she snorted.
"Come on. I know you guys like to play the victim, but I didn't do it. She fell on her own. What does it have to do with me?"
"If she really wants to claim compensation, she should go to the hotel or even blame God. Blame God for making her so unlucky."
"However, I think God is finally opening his eyes. It's just returning the bad karma she sowed before."
Ma Yiyi always believed that there wouldn't be any good people around someone with a low - moral character.
Seeing that Ma Yiyi had admitted it before but now denied it, Xu Tingyu didn't want to argue with her.
"Alright, there's no need to say so much. Anyway, we've already called the police. We'll just follow the procedure later."
"However, this island is such a small place, and we're all staying in the same hotel. It's inevitable that we'll run into each other."
"Since Miss Ma doesn't like us, just pretend not to know us next time we meet. There's no need to provoke us every time, right?"
When she spoke with a cold face, her aura was overwhelming.
Ma Yiyi blushed at her words. Thinking of the man behind Xu Tingyu, she didn't say anything else. She just motioned for her friends to leave first.
At this moment, Chen Chunyao winked at Xu Tingyu. "It still has to be my good sister taking action."
After they had a bit of fun, Xu Tingyu still reminded her, "You'd better put on your mask and hat. In case someone takes pictures, there will definitely be people spreading rumors."
Her injury was completely an accident, but if it got on the internet, those who like to kick a man when he's down wouldn't think so.
Chen Chunyao responded and then urged her, "Hurry up. I saw a few bags on the official website yesterday. I've been waiting to go to the physical store and take a look."
No woman can resist the temptation of a new bag.
The two rushed to the duty - free shops and started browsing from one store to another. Chen Chunyao felt that her leg didn't even hurt anymore.
Even if she didn't buy anything, just looking at them made her happy.
Moreover, if there was something she really liked, she could just swipe Qi Ye's card. It was like Qi Ye was giving it to her.
Xu Tingyu also bought a few very expensive items. She even went to a jewelry store and bought a few gold bracelets.
At first, Chen Chunyao didn't pay much attention, but gradually, seeing her buy so generously, she was a bit confused.
"Tingyu, didn't you say you have a lot of bags and jewelry in your closet, and there are many you haven't even used? Why are you still buying so much?"
During this trip, she had even brought quite a few for her.
Why was she buying like crazy now?
Could it be that she didn't like the things Qi Ye bought for her, so she brought them for her?
Xu Tingyu gave a little laugh. "Yes, but I didn't have many opportunities to use them in the UK, so I didn't feel anything when I saw them."
"But here, I'm in such a good mood. Every one of them looks so beautiful. I just can't help myself."
Didn't everyone say she was in a good mood here?
Then she would attribute all her actions to being in a good mood.
The things she bought didn't go through Zhang Wan and the others' hands, so it would be easy to sell them later.
After all, second - hand luxury goods were still valuable. Using the bags as a commission wouldn't be easily noticed.
Chen Chunyao didn't think much about it. A look of envy flashed across her face.
Sure enough, Xu Tingyu was just lucky.
She had lived a life of luxury since childhood. Later, when she was Qi Shifeng's wife, she had never lacked money.
Even at her most down - and - out, Qi Ye and Shen Yan had silently supported her.
If she wasn't so high - minded and had thrown herself into the arms of one of those two men earlier, she wouldn't have had to suffer for those four years.
Now, even though she had forgotten everything, she still had a card with no limit and could spend as she pleased.
She heard that her company was actually quite profitable.
Now that she was "imprisoned" by Qi Ye's side, none of the company's subordinates had left. They had actually managed to keep the company afloat.
Thinking about herself.
She came from a nouveau - riche family. Before she could enjoy it for a few years, the family went bankrupt.
After that, she had never really made it big in the entertainment industry. If it weren't for using Xu Tingyu's name to get close to Qi Ye, she would never have reached her current position.
She considered herself hard - working and desperate.
Qi Ye had given her a chance, and she hadn't just sat back and enjoyed it. She had gritted her teeth and worked her way up.
But because of Xu Tingyu, Qi Ye had abandoned her without hesitation.
Even if he didn't love her, why did he have to set her up with another man?
Why did he have to destroy everything she had worked so hard for?
She had lost both her face and her dignity.
Sometimes she thought she was ridiculous. Even after all this, she still couldn't let go of Qi Ye.
After the period when she hated him the most had passed, she found that the only one who could save her from the fire and water was still Qi Ye.
She had to swallow her pride and shame and cling to them desperately.
And Xu Tingyu was still that high - and - mighty rich lady. All she had to do was think of something, and someone would offer it to her with both hands.
