CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181: ALWAYS THIS WAY

After thinking it over, Lin Bufan still gave Rong Qingqing a thumbs up.

Miss Rong Qingqing really isn’t someone who takes a loss.

"That’s it, thanks! Once you’re done, come down and join Qiaoqiao and the others for some crawfish." Rong Qingqing turned and left happily.

Her arrival was sudden, and she left in a whirlwind.

Throughout it all, other than saying she was looking for Lin Bufan, she had no other interaction with Shen Jue.

Even the final invitation was directed at Lin Bufan.

Shen Jue’s expression grew somber to a certain degree.

Lin Bufan stood there, unsure why his boss suddenly seemed displeased, but hearing Rong Qingqing invite him to eat crawfish, he was overjoyed.

"Boss, would you like to join me for a bite?" Lin Bufan asked cheerfully, "It looks like Miss Rong Qingqing bought a lot, and Qiaoqiao and the others definitely can’t finish it all."

Shen Jue let out a scoff.

"I’m not going, and you’re not allowed to go either." With that, Shen Jue returned to his room.

Shen Qiao only noticed the message Shen Jue sent her after she had eaten her fill and worked seriously on her error-prone homework back in her room.

Shen Qiao glanced at it and sneered.

Brother, I know you’re trying to scare me, but I won’t buy it. —Shen Qiao.

After replying to the message, Shen Qiao happily went to sleep, already thinking to have Sister Qingqing help her with her homework the next night.

After returning to her room, Rong Qingqing got permission from the little nurse to take out her computer.

After giving it much thought, Rong Qingqing sent her job application to Yunshang Company.

Whether or not she could get the receptionist job was left to fate.

If she really couldn’t get it, she’d figure it out then.

Thinking of the more than one hundred hours of lifespan she had left, Rong Qingqing slept particularly soundly that night.

The next morning, as Rong Qingqing was having breakfast, the family doctor arrived, accompanied by Mr. Shen and Old Madam Shen.

Rong Qingqing put down her utensils and went over to greet the two elders.

"You look a bit better today," Mr. Shen observed Rong Qingqing’s face, feeling a bit relieved, "Last night when I saw you, you looked so pale, it was worrying."

Thus, Mr. Shen had the family doctor come over early and accompanied him to make sure.

As the family doctor was examining Rong Qingqing, Shen Jue happened to come out of the elevator.

Seeing him, Rong Qingqing lifted a hand and waved at Shen Jue, calling out, "Shen Jue! Good morning!"

However, Shen Jue just glanced at her indifferently and turned to head straight to the dining room.

Receiving a cold reception, Rong Qingqing awkwardly retracted her hand and touched the tip of her nose.

What’s got him upset again this early in the morning?

When did she ever provoke him?

Rong Qingqing mourned the loss of five hours of her life in her heart for a brief moment.

Seeing Rong Qingqing looking upset, Mr. Shen offered some comfort, "He has always been cold by nature, he’s like this with everyone. Once you get to know each other, it’ll get better."

Old Madam Shen chuckled softly, "Yes, Qingqing, don’t think too much about it. You saw, even when he saw me and Grandpa Shen, he didn’t greet us either, acting like he didn’t see us. That’s just how he is, don’t take it to heart."

Rong Qingqing’s eyes flickered as she looked at Old Madam Shen.

Hmm, this woman is Uncle Shen’s stepmother.

So it’s normal for her speech to be somewhat sarcastic.

This sounded like she was comforting her, but actually, it was a comment to Mr. Shen about Shen Jue’s attitude. Seeing elders and not even greeting them?
