CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 273: SOFTHEARTEDNESS BRINGS SUFFERING

Rong Honghui led Rong Jiaojiao away, and Mr. Rong specifically made a call to the Rong Family’s butler, as if he was worried. He feared that with Rong Honghui’s words, the butler would go easy on her, so Mr. Rong simply sent his assistant back to the Rong Family to personally oversee things.

Only after that did Mr. Rong return with a loving expression and look at Rong Qingqing, "You, just too soft-hearted. Being soft-hearted, you easily suffer losses. Aren’t they all relying on your soft heart to flock to you?"

Rong Qingqing touched her nose.

Whether she was soft-hearted or not was another matter.

Mr. Rong’s punishment for Rong Jiaojiao today was indeed severe.

Rong Jiaojiao knelt in front of her at the Shen Family to apologize publicly. Whether this would spread from the Shen Family depended on Rong Qingqing’s stance.

If Rong Qingqing gave instructions not to let the servants of the main house spread it, then no one else would know.

If Rong Qingqing remained silent, this matter would soon be known by everyone.

Rong Qingqing felt that Mr. Rong was subtly hinting at something when he said that being soft-hearted easily leads to losses.

As if Mr. Rong was hinting that he didn’t want her to intervene.

"Grandpa, would you like an orange?" Rong Qingqing thought for a moment. Mr. Rong was indeed good to her, as was Mr. Shen.

A mansion worth over a hundred million, they bought it for her just like that.

Rong Qingqing said, "Grandpa Shen, do you want some? If you do, let Shen Jue peel them for you. His eyesight is poor, and although his orange-peeling skills aren’t great, they’re barely passable."

"Getting old, I don’t like sour things." Mr. Shen shook his head, "Nanny Zhao’s cooking is good; let her make juice out of it for you to drink."

Mr. Shen glanced at Shen Jue while speaking, "Take good care of Qingqing. Now that you’re back, have a good rest. Old Rong and I are going fishing. Come by my place for fish soup at noon."

"Okay." Rong Qingqing nodded and agreed on behalf of Shen Jue, then got up to see the two elderly gentlemen to the door before returning.

Just now, Mr. Shen’s reminder brought to Rong Qingqing’s attention that Shen Jue had taken care of her all night without resting.

She had slept soundly and was now full of energy, but Shen Jue might have really been staying awake for her sake.

"Come on, let’s go take a nap." Rong Qingqing pushed Shen Jue into the elevator and went upstairs.

She pushed Shen Jue all the way to his room, told him to have a good sleep, then left his room and returned to her own.

Closing the door, Rong Qingqing immediately felt the room was too quiet.

She wandered around the room, thought for a moment, then opened the door before crawling under the covers, plugging in headphones and starting the music.

The light in Rong Qingqing’s room was very good, and today the weather was nice. At this time, the sun had risen, and warm sunlight was pouring through the window, falling onto her window sill.

Rong Qingqing didn’t know what the music playing in her ears was singing.

Her eyes were constantly wandering around the room.

At times, she lay sprawled out there, then sat up in a daze.

Then she’d get up to find something to do, only to lie back on the bed again.

Rong Qingqing couldn’t deny it; she was a bit afraid of being alone in the room now.

Rong Qingqing sat up again and glanced at her phone.

Eighteen minutes had passed.

By now, Shen Jue, who had stayed up all night, should have fallen asleep, right?

Rong Qingqing got out of bed barefoot, crouched down, and quietly crept into Shen Jue’s room.

She twisted the doorknob, and it wasn’t locked.

Instantly, a smile spread across her face.

Then she quietly opened it, and cautiously walked in step by step.
