The manager delegated the task of wrapping the jewelry to another staff member. She happened to see Shen Qianrou swiping her card once more. The cashier smiled and handed her the card.
Her heart was pounding with excitement. It was a success!
After Shen Qianrou swiped her card, she strolled back to Shen Fanxing and said gently,
“Sister, I’m done paying. Actually, you can choose not to buy it! I bought all of these willingly. Grandpa, Grandma, and Daddy have always been good to me all these years. Buying these things to give them is my duty as daughter and granddaughter. I’ve never thought of competing with you to see who’s richer between us. After all, I’m aware of your current situation…”
Finishing her sentence, Shen Qianrou gave a soft smile. She was gentle, gracious and elegant. It sounded as if she was kind enough by giving Shen Fanxing a way out. But actually, she was getting her to admit defeat?
She also wanted to emphasize Shen Fanxing’s dire situation!
What situation was Shen Fanxing in now?
All of them assumed that she was a daughter who had been chased out of the house. She was a sparrow who had failed to become a phoenix, and a woman who could be bought by any man for the right amount of money.
Indeed, when Shen Qianrou’s words fell, everyone looked at Shen Fanxing with more disdain.
Shen Fanxing swept a cold glance at the card in Shen Qianrou’s hand and her lips curled.
“Seems like you do have a lot of private savings. Isn’t there a problem with Lan Yun Entertainment’s finances now? I think this 20 million yuan could be of some help actually! Instead of giving the old madam these accessories, it’s more useful to give her the money directly. It would make her happier!”
Shen Qianrou’s expression faltered.
Damn it!
She had only cared about crushing this b*tch, and she had not thought of this.
So Shen Fanxing had said so much earlier on just to ambush her at this juncture?
Shen Fanxing wanted to expose her secret stash to Grandma?
At the thought of this, her worries dissipated suddenly.
“The company and I are separate entities. I’ll use my own money to be filial to them. I think she’ll be happy.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow but she didn’t comment.
“Be as filial as you please.”
…
Shen Qianrou studied her and pondered for a while. Her lips turned upwards and formed a cold smile.
“Sister, go home if you’re free. Grandpa and Daddy actually miss you. Daddy is soft-hearted and very easy to talk to. Go back and say something nice to him. Why don’t we do this? I just bought a pair of rings. Why don’t I give them to you? You can give the rings to him and Mommy and tell them you bought the rings for them. Do you think that’s a good idea? I believe he’ll be delighted!”
Seeing the deliberate provocation in Shen Qianrou’s eyes, Shen Fanxing’s eyes sparkled coldly.
Nonetheless, she still accepted it.
Disdainful voices sounded.
Shen Fanxing turned to the manager and asked, “What does this set of couple rings mean?”
The manager gave her a scornful look and replied, “The one and only love of my life.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and smiled at Shen Qianrou.
“Did you hear that? The only love in this life. Everyone knows that your mother is the third party. Wouldn’t that be like a slap in your mother’s face?”
Everyone was speechless…
Shen Qianrou’s face darkened and she glared at her, seething with cold fury.
“Why are you glowering at me like that? Did I say anything wrong? You wanted to give this diamond ring to your mother in my name just now. I thought you wanted to flaunt and boast that your mother has successfully entered the family as the official madam?”
“Shen Fanxing, that’s enough! Are you done? Qianrou is obviously doing this out of goodwill, but you’re harping on the term ‘third party’. What’s the meaning of this?”
