After I Stole My Stepsister's Girlfriend

[Old-School Melodrama, Over-the-Top Drama, Writing Practice] When the Pei family brought home an illegitimate daughter from outside the family, everyone in Yuan Harbor waited to see Pei Miaoshu, the usually haughty and overbearing eldest daughter of the Pei family, make a fool of herself. They weren't disappointed. The two Pei heiresses came to blows the moment they met. From the Pei Group itself to jewelry, luxury cars, and custom-made dresses, even limited-edition lingerie, the moment one of them showed the slightest interest in something, the other was sure to snatch it away. Whatever anyone else thought, Pei Miaoshu loathed her stepsister. When she heard that her sister had recently grown close to a bar owner, she didn't hesitate. She grabbed her black card and headed straight to the bar, spending lavishly and specifically asking the alluring, mature owner to have a drink with her. The moment she learned the bar owner's name, Pei Miaoshu brazenly declared, "Jiang Shangyue? Better to be the moon in my arms." Pei Miaoshu patiently played the courtship game with Jiang Shangyue for three months, until one night the other woman accidentally drank something spiked. She pressed herself against Pei Miaoshu, put her arms around her waist, and begged in a voice that could steal one's soul, "Help me." Pei Miaoshu didn't hesitate. After their night together, Pei Miaoshu woke the next morning, still savoring everything that had happened the night before. Looking at the woman asleep beside her, she suddenly realized she rather liked her stepsister's girlfriend. Thinking that from now on, the white-lotus sister who wanted to steal her family fortune, Pei Shutong, would have to watch her be intimate with the woman she liked every day, and could do nothing but swallow her frustration and call her "Big Sister," Pei Miaoshu excitedly tilted the chin of the woman beside her and declared with confidence, "Don't be afraid. I'll take responsibility for you." Jiang Shangyue traced her fingertips tenderly over Pei Miaoshu's brow, her eyes full of trust. "All right. How are you going to take responsibility?" Later, Pei Miaoshu learned two things: First, Jiang Shangyue had put the drug in that drink herself. Second, the person Pei Shutong liked was her. *Arrogant, overbearing heiress: Pei Miaoshu *Scheming, gloomy younger sister: Pei Shutong *Alluring bar owner: Jiang Shangyue *Everyone loves the heiress *Short story Please add my new upcoming novel, which I'm definitely writing this year, After Deleting the Late-Night Snack Shop Owner~ After being kept awake at night by how broke she was, He Qingxi opened her budgeting app and started reviewing where all her monthly earnings went. She never knew until she looked. Then the sky came crashing down. Her take-home pay after tax was 8,800 yuan a month. Two thousand went to her mortgage, 800 went to her dog, and of the remaining 6,000, a whopping 4,000 had gone to food... And by food, she really meant food: barbecue, hot pot, little cakes, milk tea, snacks, and so on. The biggest expense of all was listed in her budgeting app with just five words: "Tonight's Leisure Bar." He Qingxi remembered. It was a late-night snack shop that opened at seven every evening. Whenever the owner opened for business, she posted tempting food photos on her social media, along with customer reviews and pictures, often tempting He Qingxi into placing an enthusiastic order. The owner would also occasionally post glimpses of her daily life, such as a mirror selfie showing off her toned abs at the gym, a selfie at the top of a mountain with her collarbones damp with sweat, or a picture showing the logo of her luxury car and the name of the toll station while traveling... In other words, the food at this place was delicious, and the owner was disciplined, beautiful, and rich. When He Qingxi opened WeChat and counted up her transactions with the late-night snack shop owner, she realized that over the year since she'd added her, she'd spent more than 10,000 yuan on her and gained ten pounds. For the sake of her weight and her wallet, He Qingxi steeled herself and deleted the owner. She thought her wallet would surely get fatter as she got thinner. But the very next day, the owner suddenly added her again and sent a brief message: "Changed your taste? Got a new owner?" In that instant, He Qingxi inexplicably felt like someone who regularly went to one particular shop, but had gone to another one that day and been caught by the first shop owner. She felt guilty, as if she'd betrayed her. Still, to explain herself, He Qingxi added the owner back and proactively told her she had deleted her only because she wanted to lose weight. The owner: "I can sell you low-calorie meals." He Qingxi: "?" She was supposed to have a low-calorie meal at eleven at night? Theme: The most skilled hunters often appear as their prey.
