“In terms of upbringing, I don’t think anyone can win against you after what Mrs Yuan said today.”
A clear and calm voice sounded. It was light and calm, but it was clear and powerful.
Shen Fanxing’s hand froze in mid-air.
Stunned, she slowly turned to look at the door.
Someone was pushing a wheelchair slowly towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
The woman in the wheelchair had a hat on her head and her head was slightly lowered. Shen Fanxing stood on stage and her chin couldn’t be seen.
However, her hands trembled as she stared intently at the woman in the wheelchair who was gradually approaching. Like a toddler, she carefully lifted her feet and turned to face the audience.
Everyone below the stage made way for the woman in the wheelchair. Everyone was curious.
“Who is it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Where did she come from? She seems to be standing up for President Shen?”
The wheelchair finally stopped not far from the stage.
Old Master Shen, who had been standing at the side, suddenly trembled as he stared at the woman in disbelief.
How could this be?!
He took two steps forward excitedly, but at the thought of the current situation…
Ever since she left, Fanxing’s life had plummeted. As her grandfather, he couldn’t protect her from the start to the end. Even Fanxing’s engagement party had become like this.
Most people didn’t believe that Fanxing was Bo Jinchuan’s fiancée.
The Yuan family did not hide the fact that Fanxing had no family background and did not take her seriously.
Not only did the Shen family not give her any support, but in the end, she would also be sold to a Viscount from Country Y by her grandmother.
How could he face…
Ye Zhiqing frowned at the woman below the stage. “Who are you? What did you mean by that?”
“It seems that Mrs Yuan’s comprehension ability isn’t good either. You don’t understand what I mean.”
Ye Zhiqing’s expression turned ugly. “Don’t make a scene. This is between the Yuan family and the Bo family. It’s not for an outsider to interfere.”
“Something between your families?”
The woman’s voice was faint and she sounded like she was smiling casually.
She couldn’t help but feel that he could suppress her with just a few casual words.
Ye Zhiqing, who was used to being the wife of the Yuan family and had always been flattered by others in the circle of wealthy ladies, felt inferior to a woman for no reason. How could she feel good?
“What?!” She couldn’t hide the exasperation in her voice.
One was calm and composed. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, the aura he exuded was clean and indifferent, making people submit to him.
She was impetuous and rude. Even though she was standing on the stage with the title of Mrs Yuan, she looked even more ordinary compared to the women below the stage.
“How can this matter be between your two families? Your daughter is going to marry the CEO of the Bo Corporation, but the CEO of the Bo Corporation is really going to marry the eldest daughter of the Shen family. The Bo family, the Shen family, and the Yuan family. Are you ignorant or do you think that Shen Fanxing can be ignored because she has no one backing her?”
No one to back her up?
Ye Zhiqing was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “What else? Her biological grandmother can even sell her. Grandpa can’t make the decision for her. Her biological father is even more useless. Who do you think can make the decision for her in the entire Shen family?”
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something ridiculous. She chuckled and turned to Old Lady Bo.
“In that case, not to mention your family background, the Shen family doesn’t even have anyone decent. Marry her? It’s not that I want to say this, but Old Lady Bo, I think you’re getting old and you’re thinking of doing charity, right?”
The old lady wasn’t angry. She sneered and said, “Not to mention that I’m not doing charity, even if I’m doing charity… We would rather do charity than look down on the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. Don’t you think you’re ridiculous?”
Ye Zhiqing’s eyelids twitched.
She glared at the old lady with a stiff expression.
“It seems like Old Lady Bo really doesn’t care about the relationship between our families because of such a lowly woman.”
Old Lady Bo didn’t say anything, but a sarcastic voice sounded from below the stage.
“Friendship is mutual. It’s not something you can use to trample on others.”
Anger surged in Ye Zhiqing’s heart again. She suddenly turned to look at the woman in the wheelchair.
“Who are you? I’m warning you, get lost if you know what’s good for you. What right do you have to interfere in our matters?!”
“Qualification… Yes…”
A faint voice sounded. After a long silence, the woman in the wheelchair slowly raised her hand and took off her hat.
Shen Fanxing clenched her fists tightly as her body trembled. She couldn’t suppress the pounding heart in her chest.
Her starry eyes trembled uncontrollably as tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lips and fixed her gaze on the woman.
When the woman took off her hat and looked up slowly, Shen Fanxing’s eyes trembled and tears streamed down her face.
Her tense chest suddenly relaxed and her legs went soft. She almost fell.
A sob escaped her throat.
If Bo Jinchuan hadn’t pulled her into his embrace, she might have collapsed to the ground.
Shen Fanxing grabbed Bo Jinchuan’s arm tightly and stared at the woman’s face. Even though her tears were blurry, she refused to blink.
Her entire body was hanging on Bo Jinchuan.
That feeling was similar to Bo Jinchuan’s sudden appearance.
She thought that Ah Chuan was the person she trusted and relied on the most in this world. Hence, when he appeared, all her persistence and stubbornness collapsed.
She didn’t have to force herself. She wasn’t worried about letting him know her weakness.
Because she knew that as long as this man was around, he wouldn’t let her get hurt again.
She thought…
In this world, she only had Ah Chuan.
Unexpectedly, today, she actually…
“Ah Chuan…” She couldn’t believe it. Her grip on Bo Jinchuan’s arm tightened subconsciously. “I… I think I saw my…”
She didn’t dare to say the rest. She was afraid that she would admit her mistake and let herself down. After the disappointment, she still had a long time to mend herself.
She sealed the memories of her mother in the deepest corner of her heart.
“It’s Mother.”
