CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: THE TEASE PAYS THE PRICE

"The shares in Rong Qingqing’s hands have indeed been cheaply given to Shen Jue." Old Madam Shen patted her daughter-in-law’s hand, "Don’t rush, everything has to be done step by step. What’s ours, we’ll slowly seize it little by little."

Liao Yamei felt relieved as she watched her mother-in-law seemingly have a plan. She truly admired her mother-in-law’s skillful means.

If it weren’t for her mother-in-law’s help, she and her husband wouldn’t have been able to topple Shen Jue and his father so smoothly this time.

The two women talked about the faults of Rong Qingqing, but while watching her slight changes that were refreshing and eye-catching, they worried that Shen Xingwei might find it even harder to let go of Rong Qingqing.

But...

Qingqing didn’t care whether others liked her or not.

After all, even if you don’t like me, you can’t get rid of me.

The group walked up to the protagonists of the night, Qingqing stood beside Shen Jue, both dressed in eye-catching celebratory red, looking even more like the stars of the evening from afar.

"Qingqing."

As the people reached them, Rong Jiaojiao quickly composed her emotions, then held Qingqing’s hand with a very happy expression, "I thought you wouldn’t come, but it’s great to see you at my and Xingwei’s engagement party. Xingwei and I are both very happy."

After saying that, Rong Jiaojiao reached out to hug Qingqing, making those unaware think the two sisters had a good relationship.

But, Rong Jiaojiao merely used the opportunity to whisper a few words in Qingqing’s ear.

"No matter how red you’re dressed, tonight is still mine and Shen Xingwei’s engagement party."

Rong Jiaojiao originally intended to provoke Qingqing. Whether she stormed off or cried, it would at least embarrass Qingqing.

Unexpectedly, Qingqing acted completely different, neither crying nor walking away. Instead, she pressed Jiaojiao’s waist as if afraid she’d run away, then whispered with a laugh.

"Of course, it’s your engagement party with Shen Xingwei, so to sincerely wish you well, I dressed a bit prettier. Sorry, accidentally outshining you, the bride-to-be."

Rong Jiaojiao nearly spit blood.

After saying this, Qingqing wasn’t ready to release Jiaojiao and continued.

"I prepared a gift for you, a box of family planning products. I’ll have Nanny Zhao deliver it to you and Shen Xingwei later. Wishing you happiness!"

Qingqing laughed sarcastically, "A big box, wonder how long you and Shen Xingwei will need it."

The saying goes, the one who provokes first is the shameless one.

Since Rong Jiaojiao dared to start, she couldn’t blame Qingqing for not saving face.

Rong Jiaojiao’s eyes seemed ready to pop out of their sockets from anger.

She glared fiercely at Qingqing, almost gritting her teeth to respond, "Better keep it for you and Shen Jue!"

"Once given, it’s yours. Shen Jue can buy what we use." Qingqing released Jiaojiao with a gentle smile, cheekily patting Jiaojiao’s shoulder, "I’ll send you another when you finish it."

Those words couldn’t be more cheeky.

In Shen Manor, everyone knew Shen Xingwei’s lingering feelings for Qingqing while his relationship with Jiaojiao was merely superficial.

Some even said that when Rong Jiaojiao secretly tried to hold Shen Xingwei’s hand, he shook her off.

So, how could Jiaojiao have any use for those things Qingqing sent?

And Qingqing’s cheeky remark was precisely in the sentence’s latter part.

"Shen Jue can buy what we use."

It was truly an intriguing statement.
