She pretended not to know anything and took the initiative to greet Madam Mo. “Mom, you’re here. I’m sorry, I fell asleep just now and didn’t come out to welcome you. Eh, Miss Shen is here too?”
Qiao Mianmian looked at Shen Rou and pretended to be shocked. “Hubby, you only told me that Mom was here, you didn’t tell me that Miss Shen was here too. Did Miss Shen come with Mom?”
Mo Yesi didn’t tell her that Shen Rou was here too.
But Qiao Mianmian knew.
She heard Madam Mo and Shen Rou talking outside.
She said it on purpose to spite Shen Rou.
She knew what Shen Rou cared about the most, so she knew how to upset her.
When she called Mo Yesi “Hubby”, Shen Rou’s expression was already awful.
By the time she finished speaking, Shen Rou’s eyes were almost overflowing with gloom.
Qiao Mianmian looked at her gloomy expression and smiled. “Mom, Miss Shen, quickly sit down. Oh right, what would you like to drink? Has the secretary prepared it?”
She talked to Madam Mo and Shen Rou like she was the mistress of the house.
Madam Mo’s and Shen Rou’s expressions darkened.
Madam Mo was slightly better, but Shen Rou’s expression was already awful.
Qiao Mianmian was mainly targeting her.
Those words were mainly meant for her.
Shen Rou wasn’t stupid, she could tell.
But with Madam Mo and Mo Yesi around, she could only suppress her anger and pretend not to know anything.
Even so, when she saw Qiao Mianmian holding Mo Yesi so intimately and calling him “Hubby”, Shen Rou almost went crazy with jealousy.
She couldn’t accept the way Mo Yesi looked at Qiao Mianmian.
He was so focused and loving…
It was as if he only had eyes for Qiao Mianmian.
She’d never seen such a focused and affectionate gaze from him even in her dreams.
If… he was willing to look at her the same way, she would probably think that she was the happiest person in the world.
She’d been by his side for over 20 years.
But he gave all his love to another woman.
She was indignant.
If liking him meant that she was destined to end up like this, then what had she done for the past 20 years?
He wasn’t even touched.
The more Shen Rou thought about it, the sadder she felt. She tried to hold it in, but she couldn’t. She said sourly, “Miss Qiao, you don’t have to bother us. How could the secretary dare to neglect Aunt Mo when she’s in her son’s company? Why would she need Miss Qiao to worry about this?
“But Miss Qiao said that you were asleep, so you didn’t know we were here. I think it’s getting late. It’s already past lunch break, why would Miss Qiao be sleeping at this time?”
Shen Rou sounded normal on the surface.
But anyone more attentive could tell that there was another layer to her words.
Madam Mo’s expression darkened.
“Rourou is right. Ah Si is my son. I’m here at my son’s company, and there are plenty of people to entertain me. There are no outsiders here, so why are you being so polite? It’s already so late, and you’re still sleeping. Why did you sleep when Rourou and I came?”
