His Beloved Treasure

”Alright! How could I not live well? People say I fell into a pit of blessings.”

Bian Jingwen laughed, still looking so sweet.

However, just as she finished saying this, before her mother had the chance to praise her, her phone rang: ”Your competition qualification has been canceled!”

”What?”

Bian Jingwen stood up in shock; it was AD speaking English to her from the other side.

AD was very angry after checking Weibo. Now she was in an AM high-class suite with Jian Yan. In the luxurious living room, Jian Yan was sitting on the sofa sullenly drinking tea, while she stood at the window imperiously notifying Bian Jingwen.

”What else do you want to ask me? I’ve always told you to rely on your own abilities to earn a living. You didn’t listen, and yet you even asked for help. How’s that now? You’re now the only B-name designer left on the competition list, and you must apologize to the public immediately and announce your withdrawal from the competition yourself.”

Bian Jingwen looked incredulously and somewhat dazedly at her mother, then lowered her head: ”AD, I’ll talk to you about this later. Don’t worry, I’ll win this competition. Let’s hang up for now.”

Bian Jingwen pretended to smile, and after hanging up the phone, sat back down to have breakfast with her mother.

”What happened? What did AD say to make you so panic-stricken?”

”It’s just that I had a fight with her nephew, and she called to tell me her nephew is threatening suicide for fear I might dump him.”

Bian Jingwen smiled, responding calmly as if nothing had happened.

Her mother couldn’t help but sigh upon hearing this and looked at Bian Jingwen kindly: ”Your boyfriend indeed isn’t as reliable as the last one, Jingwen. Maybe you should let it go. A grown man threatening suicide all the time, while it proves my daughter has charm, it also shows the man is too useless.”

”I told him we should break up, and he just wouldn’t accept it! Even brought in his aunt as pressure!”

Bian Jingwen looked helpless herself.

”Ah! This young man must have been spoiled by his family! Few kids with good family conditions are as sensible as our Jingwen. Jingwen, you are your parents’ pride, you know?”

”Yeah!”

Bian Jingwen couldn’t help but smile, but still maintained a humble demeanor, never admitting how much she liked hearing those words.

Bian Jingwen hurriedly booked her mother a flight ticket, sending her on the plane at noon, then drove straight from the airport to the hotel.

AD seemed not too pleased when she saw her, and Bian Jingwen also noticed her displeasure, quickly following her inside and started explaining: ”Someone is definitely targeting me, I suspect it’s Qin Mu anonymously leaking the news. At this moment, asking me to withdraw from the competition is forcing me to admit there are issues with my design. I absolutely can’t back down now.”

”So, show your abilities then, hmm?”

AD turned her head frustrated, glaring at her suggestion.

”Don’t rely only on your boyfriend’s aunt, don’t rely on your boyfriend’s friends, and don’t think about taking shortcuts. In this industry, only people with real capabilities can survive. AM’s Qiu Xiang relies solely on her own work, from start to finish!”

AD continued speaking to her, as the leak this time had shamed AD, revealing her already not-so-good temper right away.

”Are you saying I’m not as good as that girl who is still an assistant at JY?”

Bian Jingwen looked at AD in surprise. She knew AD looked down on her, but she didn’t know just how poorly AD thought of her.

”For now, yes! I don’t have racial prejudices, but currently, she does seem to be more diligent and capable than you.”

Bian Jingwen nearly laughed until she cried hearing such an evaluation, but she couldn’t overreact, so she had to control her temper with effort.

Only Bian Jingwen knew just how stifled she felt inside.

The goal of coming to Rongcheng, she found it so hard to achieve.

She wanted to defeat Qin Mu through legitimate means and humiliate the Qin Family, but she suddenly realized Qin Mu was insidiously cunning, so much so that she nearly went crazy.

After leaving AD, Bian Jingwen drove to Qin Mu’s studio, and stopped her car at the entrance, looking at the empty first floor and couldn’t help but tightly clench her hands.

She noticed Qin Mu’s car was still parked there; Qin Mu should be upstairs. She hesitated again and again, thought hard, then shouldered her bag and went inside.

Uncle Wang drove Qin Haiming; just as they arrived here, Uncle Wang saw Bian Jingwen going inside and said to Haiming behind him: ”This Miss Bian seems to be here to make trouble.”
