CHAPTER 66: CHAPTER 66: DON’T BE IN SUCH A HURRY TO CRY

"Really stubborn." Rong Qingqing sighed, saying this dismissively, but deep down, she preferred girls like Shen Qiao with such a temperament.

Rong Qingqing had always disliked girls who cried at the drop of a hat.

Since childhood, she and her brother Rong Kuo avoided these people.

Rong Jiaojiao noticed the commotion and turned to say something to the elders before quickly walking over, linking arms with the crying girl, and softly asking, "What’s wrong? Who bullied you like this? Look how wronged you feel."

The girl immediately realized that Rong Jiaojiao was on her side and reached out to point at Rong Qingqing, saying, "Sister Jiaojiao, Rong Qingqing is too much. She called me an ugly freak in front of all these people!"

Upon hearing this, Rong Jiaojiao frowned and began to scold Rong Qingqing, "Qingqing, I know you’re upset and have grievances. It’s enough to vent them at me. Why do you have to involve the innocent? Jingjing is a guest I invited; you can’t bully her like this."

"Who’s bullying who?" Rong Qingqing rolled her eyes. "Don’t just focus on crying. It’s too early to cry now. If you cry like this now, I’m afraid you won’t have enough tears later."

Since Rong Jiaojiao arrived, Rong Qingqing had no intention of giving her a friendly face due to her obvious partiality.

She directly pushed Rong Jiaojiao aside, "This is a matter between the three of us. You go away for now. Once this is settled, I’ll deal with matters between you and me."

Rong Qingqing pulled Jingjing away from Rong Jiaojiao, "Didn’t you say I called you an ugly freak? Now with so many people watching, why don’t you tell everyone why I, Rong Qingqing, called you an ugly freak? Wasn’t it because you started it by speaking rudely and leading others to bully others that I called you that?"

The commotion caused even the elders of the Shen Family to have to inquire.

As Mr. Shen and others came over, before anyone else could speak, Shen Xingwei started, "Qingqing isn’t the type to cause trouble; she must have been bullied first and only retaliated when she couldn’t bear it anymore."

Rong Qingqing almost burst out laughing at Shen Xingwei.

Looking at Rong Jiaojiao’s bewildered expression, she nearly burst while holding back laughter.

"What’s going on?" Mr. Shen came over, but he didn’t ask Rong Jiaojiao or Rong Qingqing; instead, he asked his granddaughter, Shen Qiao.

Shen Qiao bit her lip and didn’t speak.

Rong Qingqing knew Shen Qiao harbored resentment towards Mr. Shen, so whatever he asked, Shen Qiao wouldn’t say anything. Shen Qiao felt that speaking up would be akin to conceding to the main house and showing weakness.

The young girl was straightforward, but Rong Qingqing wasn’t.

Rong Qingqing took over the conversation, speaking respectfully, "Grandpa Shen, it’s really not that Qiaoqiao and I are disregarding the Shen Family’s reputation by causing trouble at Shen Xingwei and Rong Jiaojiao’s engagement party, but I genuinely don’t understand what mindset drove Rong Jiaojiao to invite such guests who don’t respect the Shen Family."

"Rong Qingqing, what nonsense are you talking about!" Rong Jiaojiao hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, I didn’t."

"That girl named Jingjing, whose daughter is she? She led a group of girls to encircle Shen Qiao and mocked her relentlessly, saying she was as fat as a pig and dared to come out in such a dress, and that Shen Qiao should learn from her brother Shen Jue and stay at home to avoid disgracing the Shen Family."

Rong Qingqing asked Mr. Shen, "Grandpa Shen, tell me, when Qiaoqiao is being bullied like this, as her future sister-in-law, do I not have the right to stand up for her? It’s okay for them to insult Qiaoqiao, but I can’t call them ugly in return? In this world, do ugly freaks need special protection?"

Rong Qingqing’s sharp tongue left those listening unsure whether to laugh or be angry.
