After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 6

Six million dollars, converted to RMB…

Li Suimei held her heart, her expression dazed for a moment.

After the auction, there was a cocktail party. Everyone left one after another for the outdoor garden behind, where there were handsome men and beautiful women with blond hair and blue eyes.

Liu Ruoxi handed Li Suimei a glass of red wine, “This year’s new wine, try it. If you like it, you can order a batch to take home.”

Li Suimei nodded and took a small sip. The taste was a light fragrance of red wine, which flowed down her throat into her lungs. After one sip, the taste lingered in her mouth.

Liu Ruoxi: “Do you like it?”

Li Suimei nodded.

Liu Ruoxi: “Huaiyan and Huaizhan both like red wine. I’ll have someone arrange for some to be sent back to Qin Bay.”

Hearing Qin Qing’s name, Li Suimei’s eyebrows twitched subconsciously. She opened her mouth, just about to ask Liu Ruoxi, when Hou Kai appeared with his female companion behind her, suddenly stretching his neck and appearing beside Li Suimei.

“Meimei.”

Hou Kai suddenly sneered, “Li Suimei, the Qin family is a big tree that attracts the wind, be careful.”

He spoke very softly, so softly that only Li Suimei could hear him.

Li Suimei took two steps back and stood beside Liu Ruoxi. Hou Kai straightened up and smiled, “Mrs. Liu.”

Then he left.

In just a few days, Li Suimei had been threatened twice by the same person. She narrowed her eyes and began to ponder.

The Hou family was also very wealthy. In Haishi, they were known as the three major families along with the Qin and Fu families. In recent years, the Qin family had focused its development on foreign countries, so in Haishi, the Hou and Fu families were vaguely becoming the dominant forces.

Now that Qin Qing was back, they were probably very panicked.

But it was useless to panic. Li Suimei knew that Haishi would eventually belong to the Qin family, and she couldn’t change the plot of the book, so what could a paper character do?

Thinking about it this way, she looked at Hou Kai’s expression, not only was she not angry, but she felt a sense of sympathy for someone in a similar situation.

“Meimei, is the young master of the Hou family your ex-boyfriend?”

“Ah? No.”

Li Suimei narrowed her eyes, pressing her lips together, her eyes downcast, as if she was unhappy.

Liu Ruoxi patted her back lightly, “If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.”

Li Suimei smiled, raising her wine glass. The red wine rippled slightly, reflecting her obscure eyes in the bottom of the glass.

Ah, her acting skills were really improving!

After the auction, Liu Ruoxi took Li Suimei on a shopping spree in Country M. Li Suimei’s previous concept of shopping had been limited to clearing her shopping cart on Taobao, but after a few days, she had gradually been influenced by Liu Ruoxi to develop a luxurious mindset where only custom-made items and big brands would do.

From being initially cautious, she eventually went on a spending spree, and it was incredibly enjoyable!

After staying in Country M for two days, Li Suimei returned to Haishi. Most of the clothes, bags, and luxury goods she had ordered had already been transported back by private plane.

When she went upstairs, the study and bedroom next door were both closed. Qin Qing seemed to always have endless business trips and work. Li Suimei didn’t have to face her every day, so she was quite relaxed.

She didn’t linger outside the study and pushed open the door of her bedroom to enter the dressing room.

Opening the dressing room, there were countless clothes and dozens of pairs of high heels, as well as a pile of unopened clothes and dresses, all the latest styles, piled on the floor.

Li Suimei squatted among these clothes and bags, muttering to herself, “It’s good to be rich.”

Her phone rang. She swiped through the pile of bags and took a look.

Fu Yanxiao: [I have art exhibition tomorrow, are you coming?]

The wording was stiff, the tone unfriendly, and she could guess that Fu Yanxiao was not very willing to invite her.

As usual, she should decline this invitation.

Just as she was about to refuse, another message came.

[Aren’t you tired of staying at the Qin family? You don’t like Qin Zhan anyway, so isn’t it awkward living in the Qin family? Come out and play, it’s refreshing.]

Li Suimei sneered. Everyone outside the Qin family thought she hated Qin Zhan so much, but in front of Liu Ruoxi and Qin Qing, she had to pretend to be deeply in love with Qin Zhan and act helpless.

She typed a reply: [Okay.]

Li Suimei retreated from the colorful bedroom and went downstairs to prepare dinner with Liu Ruoxi. She wanted to brush up her favorability. With the power of the original author’s words, it was effortless for her to win Liu Ruoxi’s favor.

As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she heard voices coming from inside.

Qin Qing’s voice was soft, “You bought so much?”

Liu Ruoxi was wearing an apron, holding a ladle in one hand and a pot in the other. Qin Qing stood beside her with a long shopping list. The list was fully two meters long, held in her hand at one end and trailing on the floor at the other.

Liu Ruoxi: “Oh, I bought a lot of gifts for you too!”

“Really?” Qin Qing asked, “The red and black outfit from Ouya?”

Liu Ruoxi thought for a moment, “No, that’s a new product, there are only two sets.”

“Then what about this?” She pointed with her long finger at the long name at the end, “The full set of 62 lipsticks from lf?”

Liu Ruoxi: “I’ve tried the colors, I can give you a few.”

Qin Qing: “You can fit into the runway clothes?”

Liu Ruoxi clicked her tongue, “I can’t fit into them, but Meimei can!”

Qin Qing sneered, saying, “Models are as thin as a rail. Are you going to give them to her?”

Liu Ruoxi poured the food into the pot, and the sizzling sound covered Qin Qing’s first half of the sentence. She asked, “Can’t you give them to her?”

Qin Qing pursed her lips, “They’re not her cup of tea.”

Li Suimei, standing at the kitchen door: “…….”

The reason she hadn’t gone in immediately was that half of the items on the shopping list Qin Qing was holding were hers, and they had all been charged to Qin Qing’s card, even though it was Liu Ruoxi who had insisted on it, she was still both guilty and scared.

But for the sake of that absurd idea in her heart, she still stood there, wanting to see Qin Qing’s reaction.

Qin Qing rubbed her brow and crumpled the shopping list into a ball, throwing it into the trash can. “Fine, if you bought them, don’t pile them up in my study.”

With that, she turned around and met Li Suimei’s gaze.

Qin Qing nodded and greeted her without giving Li Suimei another glance.

Li Suimei gritted her teeth and curled her fingers at her side. Under Liu Ruoxi’s rather dissatisfied call, she called out to Qin Qing.

“Qin Qing.” The girl’s voice was soft. Qin Qing turned her head and glanced at her.

Li Suimei: “…Those lipsticks and bags, they’re gifts for you.”

Liu Ruoxi: “Your room is so big, why don’t you put the things there…”

“Huh?” Liu Ruoxi turned off the stove, and the kitchen suddenly became quiet. “Meimei? What did you say?”

Li Suimei: “…”

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and repeat, “The things in the study are gifts for you.”

In fact, her guest room wasn’t big enough, and the other batch of things had been temporarily placed in Qin Qing’s study by Liu Ruoxi.

“Thank you.”

Qin Qing walked past, her hair brushing lightly against Li Suimei’s back, and a faint fragrance wafted through her nose before disappearing.

Just now, did Qin Qing smile?

Li Suimei was absent-minded, and suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

It was terrifying, Qin Qing’s smile actually made her heart tremble!

The next day, Li Suimei went to the art exhibition early in the morning. The driver was already waiting at the door, and Liu Ruoxi had also gotten up early, dressed neatly, and was standing at the door with a small bag. When she saw Li Suimei coming downstairs, she waved to her.

“Aunt Liu.”

Liu Ruoxi rubbed her head, “I’m going abroad for two days. Zhan’er’s father is taking a course abroad, and he was supposed to be gone for a month, but he’s been nagging me every day for only half a month…”

The Qin couple were notoriously loving, Li Suimei smiled, and then Liu Ruoxi’s next sentence made her expression stiffen.

“For the next half month, it’s just you and Huaiyan at home,” Liu Ruoxi patted Li Suimei’s arm, “But Zhan’er was sent to City W on a business trip by her sister, and he’ll be back in two days, so you’d better hurry up!”

Liu Ruoxi winked at Li Suimei.

Li Suimei hummed and walked to the door with Liu Ruoxi to get into the car. Liu Ruoxi sat in the front of the Cayenne, while she sat in the back of the exaggerated supercar. As her butt touched the leather seat, Li Suimei moved very lightly.

This car belonged to the original character and was worth over two million.

Li Suimei touched the leather cover, marveling at the feel of money, while at the same time being alert that she was actually not feeling much emotion.

It’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance!

“Go to the Global Center.”

Fu Yanxiao’s art exhibition was naturally grand. This girl, while not much better than the original character, had a bit of an artistic flair, but not much. Her painting skills could be rated about seven or eight out of ten, but were being hyped up to a ten.

This time, the exhibition was held at the Global Center, enough for her to brag about for half a year.

As Li Suimei got out of the car, her white dress barely reached her knees, revealing slender, white legs. Her feet, when set down, made the red carpet at the entrance of the exhibition hall seem a bit dull in comparison.

A waiter at the door reached out his hand, and she frowned for a moment before placing her hand on his.

“You look beautiful!”

“Xiaoxiao, you’re amazing!”

“What is this painting? Wow, Van Gogh is back!”

Li Suimei paused, and amidst the sincere flattery, she almost doubted if her memories of the original character were wrong.

The exhibition was dark-themed. Fu Yanxiao had let her imagination run wild, using black curtains on the walls, and the paintings were a chaotic collision of colors, seemingly lacking any aesthetic appeal, yet she insisted on giving them deep intellectual meaning.

Li Suimei moved her lips and made a difficult judgment, “Van Gogh’s coffin lid is about to burst.”

As soon as she spoke, the girls inside noticed the girl who had just entered at the door. The girl had fair skin, a sweet appearance, and a graceful figure, illuminating the dim light in the room.

Fu Yanxiao walked over, surrounded by a group of plastic friends.

“Li Suimei, do you understand what art is?”

Li Suimei shook her head, “I don’t.”

But neither she nor the original character was a stranger to art. Even if her own skills were not that great, she had attended countless art exhibitions and exhibitions. With so much exposure, she had a certain level of discernment. Moreover, the original character had often been invited to write exhibition reviews and had even served as a judge for small-scale competitions.

“You-”

Fu Yanxiao was so angry she gritted her teeth. She shouldn’t have invited Li Suimei. After calming down, she forced a smile and said sweetly, “Meimei.”

Li Suimei rubbed her arm, feeling goosebumps all over.

Fu Yanxiao almost couldn’t maintain her expression. With a thick skin, she came over and affectionately wrapped her arm around Li Suimei’s, “Meimei, you like that painting, I’ll give it to you.”

Li Suimei sneered, “I don’t like any of them.”

“……”

“Just say what you want.”

Fu Yanxiao: “…Aren’t you going to work at Qin Qing’s design company?”

“……”

Now it was Li Suimei’s turn to be speechless. Although she had used this excuse to move to Haishi and infiltrate the Qin family, she hadn’t really planned to work at Qin Qing’s studio. She wasn’t suicidal! She wanted to avoid Qin Qing as much as possible!

Fu Yanxiao: “Qin Qing doesn’t like people getting in through the back door. Everyone in the company is very wary of rich kids like us, so…”

The rest is self-evident.

Li Suimei rubbed her arm, then received a slap from Fu Yanxiao.

“Ouch!”

“What are you doing?”

Fu Yanxiao said angrily, “What do you mean, my paintings are that ugly?”

Li Suimei: “……”

She was clearly thinking about going to work at Qin Qing’s company, and that’s why she was so startled!
