CHAPTER 356: CHAPTER 356: THE BOSS IS STILL THE SMARTEST

Because the fate of Fairy Rong Qingqing Fish was uncertain, Rong Qingqing ignored Shen Jue all night.

After dinner, Rong Qingqing tutored Shen Qiao, and Shen Qiao took the opportunity to pull Rong Qingqing back to the room. Rong Qingqing didn’t even give Shen Jue a glance.

Then, Shen Jue received even worse news.

Lin Bufan sent him a message saying the vet took one look and then kicked him out.

He tried several places, all kicked him out.

Lin Bufan sneaked back, holding a disposable cup, all stealthy.

Upon entering, he asked, "Miss Qingqing isn’t in the living room?"

Nanny Zhao nodded, and Lin Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, "Safe for now."

Shen Jue glanced at him.

Then he picked up his phone and sent a message to Doctor Meng.

If you damage your wife’s things, what would you do? — Shen Jue.

Doctor Meng was the only married person with kids among Shen Jue’s acquaintances, so Shen Jue chose to ask someone with experience in marriage for this kind of thing.

Doctor Meng received Shen Jue’s message and replied without much thought.

Apologize, then personally buy her a new one. — Old Meng.

What if you can’t buy it? — Shen Jue.

Then make a new one yourself, but for these things that you can’t buy, I wouldn’t touch them even if you cut off my hands, because a wife can be very hard to pacify when she’s angry. — Old Meng.

But I’m better off than you, I can say my son broke it, my wife would be mad at me, but she wouldn’t scold our son. — Old Meng.

After reading this message, Shen Jue felt an urge to block Old Meng.

He and Rong Qingqing were not married yet.

Naturally, there was no son to take the blame.

However...

Shen Jue recalled Rong Qingqing’s threat of looking for three meals a day to beat him, and thought, even if he had a son, he couldn’t be used to take the blame, otherwise he might actually get beaten to death by his wife.

Shen Jue put away his phone and called Lin Bufan to get the fishing gear.

Rong Qingqing and Shen Qiao had agreed to catch Fairy Qiaoqiao Fish together when free, so the fishing tools were prepared by the butler early on.

Lin Bufan took the tools and a super large flashlight to go out with Shen Jue, and couldn’t help but compliment him on the way.

"Boss, you’re smart. We’ll catch another one for Miss Qingqing, she won’t ever know, the fish look the same." Lin Bufan congratulated himself in secret, fortunately, they were caught from the creek at Shen Manor; if it were farther, they couldn’t pull it off.

Shen Jue rolled his eyes at Lin Bufan, so stupid.

No wonder he didn’t have a girlfriend; with Lin Bufan’s dumb approach, even if he had one, she wouldn’t stick around.

His fiancée wouldn’t be as gullible as Lin Bufan.

The fish was dead by the time Lin Bufan took it away; convincing Rong Qingqing that a vet saved it would be deceitful.

When you make a mistake, you must courageously admit it and not deceive with lies.

Upon arrival, Lin Bufan rolled up his pants and volunteered to go into the water.

Shen Jue stopped him.

"I will enter the water from the flat side, you hold the light for me on the side," Shen Jue already rolled up his own pants as he spoke.

Old Meng’s texts both mentioned a key word.

Personally.

In person.

This represents sincerity in apologizing.

So Shen Jue decided to personally get into the water to catch one.

"If it’s this deep, won’t the wheelchair be ruined?" Lin Bufan asked.

"If it’s ruined, we’ll just buy another one," Shen Jue said carelessly.

Lin Bufan glanced at Shen Jue and said no more, followed him into the water.

Perhaps it was the season, or maybe it was because it was night, but the two men squatted in the creek for quite a while without seeing a single one of those white, nearly transparent fish.
