My Wife is My Life!-Novel

Ji Qingqing sneered as if she just heard a joke. She looked at Shen Weiwei defiantly and said without any shame whatsoever, “Didn’t you say that you’re willing to give me everything? You didn’t tell me not to include your sweetheart.”

Shen Weiwei clenched her lower lip and took a deep breath. “You weren’t like this before. Have you forgotten that we’re best friends?”

“Best friends must know how to share, isn’t that what you said?” Ji Qingqing glanced at her with contempt. “Don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of me. No one’s watching. Who are you pretending to be pitiful for?”

She continued, “But since you discovered it, let me just say it. Everything has always been yours! Isn’t it unfair? When we both entered a club in college, you were accepted, but I was brushed off. After graduation, we applied for the same company twice – you were the only one admitted.”

“But this time… I finally found the man that I like. Why should I give him up just because you told me? I won’t bear it anymore… Chen Dong is mine!”

The grievances on Ji Qingqing’s face showed how much she had endured for many years. They were vividly expressed in her words and expressions. She looked at Shen Weiwei with resentful eyes, then with joy as she saw her ashen face. But she seemed to be conflicted as she turned her head very quickly and bit her lower lip.

Shen Weiwei got up and grabbed her hand. “If you still treat me as a friend and separate from Chen Dong, I can treat this as if nothing had happened.”

“As if nothing happened?” Ji Qingqing smiled ironically as she sent her an unbelievable look. “You now know that I like Chen Dong… but you still want me to separate me from Chen Dong?”

“Do you think I would give you the chance to be with him in the future? What would that make of me?” She threw away Shen Weiwei’s hand. “Dream on!”

“What I hate most is meeting hypocritical people like you pretending to be a pitiful white lotus*. People like you act as if the whole world owes you. Let me ask you, does Chen Dong like you? Did he confess to you? Are you dating?”

*T/N: 白莲花 typically describes a female who pretends to be innocent and pure on the surface, but is actually a scheming person.

She continued, “You have such guts to demand me to separate from him. Why? Is it because you can act more pitiful and innocent than me? What makes you better than me?”

“We’re in a fair relationship. I haven’t schemed against other people, nor have I snatched him from you. So, why are you yelling at me? Let me tell you, I just want to be with him because I love him – and it has nothing to do with you. Even if I’m not with him, I won’t let you be with him!”

Shen Weiwei said indignantly, “But he doesn’t like you at all!”

Ji Qingqing smiled softly. “Does it have anything to do with me whether he likes me or not? I don’t care as long as I like him. We’re in a relationship!”

“Remember,” she looked at Shen Weiwei with deep eyes and said sharply, “I will never, ever give him to you! Over my dead body!”

Faced with Ji Qingqing’s aggressive stance, Shen Weiwei’s aura became a lot weaker. She was originally very good at acting pitifully, but after Ji Qingqing interrupted her flow thrice, she felt she was being overpowered, so she couldn’t help but feel panicked. It even affected her momentum as her tears did not fall for a long time.

“Card–”

Director Ren stopped and blatantly showed his appreciation to Ji Qinqing. He spared no effort to praise, “Although Miss Ji is not from a science class, she has great potential and good explosive power. In time, she’ll have a promising future. As for Miss Shen…”

He looked at Shen Weiwei and said with a smile, “It can be seen that Miss Shen has worked hard on acting. With this discipline, you will definitely be able to flourish in the future.

“But for this role, I would still stick to my previous judgment – I do think that Miss Ji is more suitable.” He asked the two assistant directors, “What do you think?”

“Miss Shen’s acting skills are really remarkable. Let me be honest,” the deputy director laughed. “Your acting is much better compared to other traffic stars. But I agree with Director Ren. For the role of the heroine, Miss Ji is more suitable.”

“My opinion is the same as Director Ren’s. What made me impressed was Miss Ji’s performance just now. I think her outburst of emotions is very good, but I also agree with Director Ren’s evaluation of Miss Shen. As long as Ms. Shen studies acting seriously, you will definitely flourish over time.”

Ji Qingqing rubbed her cheeks. She lashed a lot just now, so she became a little thirsty. Facing the appreciation of Director Ren and the two assistant directors, she smiled humbly. “I still have a lot to learn, so please advise me more in the future.”

“Of course.”

Shen Weiwei stood on one side, her face pale.

From the time Director Ren called the card, she knew that she had lost her opportunity.

Because from the beginning to the end, she had failed to enter character and the feeling of being suppressed by Ji Qingqing throughout the process left her no room to recover.

She shouldn’t have chosen that part! If only she knew… that Ji Qingqing was going to suppress her limelight like that!

“Miss Shen, I think you’re also clear with this. We think that Miss Ji is more suitable for the role of the female lead in this series.”

Shen Weiwei nodded with a pale face, barely showing a smile. “I see.”

“In fact, Miss Shen’s acting skills are quite good. If opportunity permits, let’s cooperate in the future.”

Shen Weiwei smiled and nodded.

Shen Weiwei tried her best to adjust her mentality so as not to make herself look too embarrassed.

“Then I’ll go first. I’ve delayed quite a few hours of your time, goodbye.”

After speaking, Shen Weiwei turned around and left, refusing to stay there a second longer.

The door opened and the actors waiting to audition outside cast their eyes on her one after another, she even heard some snickering.

Their glances and whispers embarrassed her greatly, and the pain and humiliation pierced her heart a thousand times and made her unable to lift her head.
