“Really?” asked Shen Fanxing with a smirk.
She said softly as she turned around and walked towards the Earl’s counter.
“Unfortunately, I don’t like it.”
Yuan Sichun paused and sneered.
“Welcome to the Earl’s counter. How can I help you?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Couple watch.”
The cold smile on Yuan Sichun’s face froze.
When the Earl’s salesperson heard that, she smiled and said, “The couple’s watch is here. Please follow me to the counter.”
Shen Fanxing followed and saw a platinum couple’s watch. The man’s watch was simple and elegant, while the woman’s was inlaid with diamonds. It was exquisite and beautiful.
“I want this model.”
His actions were clean and without any hesitation.
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
Shen Fanxing moved quickly and the salesperson couldn’t help but speed up.
She took the watch and went to wrap it.
Not long after, she walked out with the wrapped watch.
After paying, Shen Fanxing walked towards Lou Ruoyi.
“Alright, Mom, let’s go.”
Lou Ruoyi glanced at Yuan Sichun, who was still waiting to clean her watch.
“Auntie, you might have to wait for me…” Yuan Sichun said awkwardly.
Yuan Sichun wanted to speak, but her phone rang.
As she took out her phone, she turned and walked to the side.
“Hey… I was shopping… I forgot… Isn’t that fine?”
Lou Ruoyi walked further and further away. Shen Fanxing didn’t want to make things difficult for Yuan Sichun, so she turned around and walked to the resting area to rest.
Lou Ruoyi was still on the phone. After a long time, she finally hung up. However, she took the initiative to make another call.
Not long after, she hung up and walked to the sofa where Shen Fanxing was sitting. Her back was facing Yuan Sichun as she spoke to Shen Fanxing.
As she was blocking Shen Fanxing, she didn’t know what Shen Fanxing was doing or what her expression was.
When Yuan Sichun finally received her watch, she hurried over.
“Auntie, sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go.”
She glanced at Shen Fanxing and the bag with the Earl’s logo on it.
“Sichun, your sister-in-law and I have something on. We might not be going home tonight. I’ve called a chauffeur for you. You can go back first.”
Yuan Sichun’s lips twitched. “Auntie, did you encounter a problem? Do you need my help?”
Lou Ruoyi glanced at Shen Fanxing and sighed. She looked as though she had difficulty speaking.
“I can’t say. You can’t help me with this. Go back first…”
Looking at Lou Ruoyi, Yuan Sichun could smell something fishy.
“Auntie, what happened?”
Lou Ruoyi shook her head awkwardly and said, “Your sister-in-law refuses to go back. I’ll bring her to the hotel tonight…”
Yuan Si’s heart skipped a beat and a glint flashed across her eyes. She looked up and asked cautiously, “Weren’t you fine just now? Why did you suddenly… Did Sister-in-law… have a misunderstanding with Brother Bo?”
“Sigh, I don’t know what’s going on… It’s only been a few days and they’re already fighting… Now that I’ve bought so many things, I can’t even give them away… I’ve been talking to your sister-in-law for a long time. Let’s go back first. The two of us can talk it out when we meet. How can there be a conflict that can’t be resolved? But your sister-in-law’s temper… is really stubborn…”
Yuan Sichun’s eyes flashed and she quickly grabbed Lou Ruoyi’s hand.
“Auntie, since Sister-in-law doesn’t want to go back, don’t go back first. Maybe she’ll figure it out herself… How about this, I’ll arrange a hotel for you.”
After a pause, she said, “Coincidentally, the hall where I’m holding the welcome banquet for you is nearby. Why don’t we go there tonight?”
Lou glanced at her and nodded.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Yuan Sichun smiled and said, “Not at all.”
In the end, Yuan Sichun brought Shen Fanxing and Lou Ruoyi to the clubhouse.
As she had drunk too much at the banquet tomorrow, Yuan Sichun had already booked a room.
Shen Fanxing’s face was cold and she didn’t say a word. Yuan Sichun enthusiastically took two luxurious suites and sent Shen Fanxing and Lou Ruoyi upstairs.
Their room was next door.
Lou Ruoyi went straight to Shen Fanxing’s room. Yuan Sichun had prepared a room for her, but she only installed the card.
Shen Fanxing entered the house and placed the items on the cabinet. She scanned the room before walking to the large French window to look down at Hong Kong City in the evening.
A prosperous city with absolute history. After experiencing so much, this prosperous scene…
But who knew how many undercurrents there were under this seemingly prosperous environment?
Looking at her straight back, Yuan Sichun walked to her side and said indifferently,
“You can stay here in peace. There’s one-stop entertainment here. If you’re in a bad mood, you can go downstairs to have fun and relax.”
Shen Fanxing remained unmoved. With her back facing her, a faint sneer appeared on her lips.
Yuan Sichun didn’t expect her to respond. She pursed her lips and looked at Lou Ruoyi. “Auntie, are you really not going back? Grandpa, Brother Bo, and Jinghang must be worried about you. Why don’t I accompany you here…”
“If you’re worried about me, you wouldn’t have caused so much trouble for me. Go back quickly. I’ve occupied your entire day today. Your mother will complain to me about me s.n.a.t.c.hing her daughter!”
Yuan Sichun smiled and said, “Just listen to her. She’s so happy that you dote on me…”
Although she said that, Yuan Sichun left in the end.
The moment she closed the door, the smile on Lou Ruoyi’s face collapsed.
She went back and sat on the sofa. She pulled off her shawl and threw it aside.
Shen Fanxing sat opposite her and smiled at her. “Don’t you like Yuan Sichun?”
Lou Ruoyi rested her elbow on the armrest of the sofa and leaned sideways, looking elegant.
“She’s the number one candidate to be the future daughter-in-law of the Bo family. That’s what I thought of her since she was young. It wasn’t until Jinchuan’s coming-of-age ceremony when I realized that she wasn’t interested in women that I found her more and more pleasing to the eye! After all, she’s the only girl by Jinchuan’s side since she was young…”
Changing her posture, Lou Ruoyi sighed and said, “Sigh! It’s really tough being your husband’s mother! Other people’s children have to hug little girls when they go to the country! But he can’t wait to scare more than ten female cla.s.smates to death every day! When he was in my stomach, I started to worry about my future daughter-in-law the moment I found out that he was a boy. Do you know how I’ve been worried for the past twenty years?”
