Chapter 209: Stop Talking Nonsense
“Stop it,” At this moment, Ji Qian, who was reading at the side, couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She couldn’t help but mock, “are you stupid or pretending to be muddle-headed?” Her expression was ugly as she placed the pen on the table. She said impatiently, “I don’t think your family has any good intentions.”
“You… How can you say that?” Yu Miao’s face turned pale as he looked at Ji Qian in shock. “This is just a small token of my parents’ goodwill. How can you…”
“Tsk,” Seeing Yu Miao’s sincere expression, Ji Qian pulled her hair impatiently. She thought that she was stupid enough to help when something was hapenning at home. Ji Qian did not expect that there would be someone more foolish than her in this world. Even though she could see the logic, she still could not understand it!
Ji Qian thought that her sister-in-law was right. Reading was a ladder for human progress. After reading for such a long time, she was no longer that idiot from before.
In this way, Ji Qian felt a little smug. She did not see Yu Miao as an eyesore anymore. “I feel that you helped count the money after being betrayed.”
!!
“What do you mean?” Yu Miao grabbed the edge of the doc.u.ment bag. Her knuckles were slightly white from the force. She bit her lip and said stubbornly, “stop talking nonsense.”
“Yes, I’m talking nonsense,” Ji Qian rolled her eyes. “Your family values boys over girls. You’re not the only daughter. You’re not sweet-talking and don’t know how to speak. You’re the least favored in the family. Do you still think I’m talking nonsense now? Also, your parents supported the development of the east side of the city and followed Zhuang Li all day, smiling obsequiously. Do you think that is nonsense too?”
“Enough!” The wound in her heart was poked open, and no matter how good Yu Miao’s temper was, she could not help but blush. “So what? What are you trying to prove by saying all this?”
“Prove what?” Ji Qian raised her voice. “Your parents and my sister-in-law stand on opposite sides. At a time like this, if they ask you to give my sister-in-law a shop, what kind of good intentions can they have? My sister-in-law works for Professor Xu Jinhe and the others, making plans for them. If she takes over someone’s shop in the east of the city at a time like this, what will others think? What will they think?”
Yu Miao’s parents’ actions were to break the unity of the people in the west city area! It would cause Shen Hanxing, Professor Xu Jinhe, and the others to have a conflict!
Ji Qian’s eyes were cold as she mocked, “Your parents are cunning people. They don’t have good intentions!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Yu Miao’s face was pale. She could not believe that the care and warmth that her parents gave her after living for more than 20 years was all to use her.
“You know well whether I’m talking nonsense or not,” Seeing Yu Miao like this, Ji Qian was also a little upset. She put away the random books, “your parents are really stingy. They only gave my sister-in-law a shop. Is the madam of the Ji family someone you can bribe with just a shop?”
Ji Qian rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, “If my sister-in-law wants it, I can give her a few myself!”
Yu Miao opened her mouth. She wanted to say that not everyone in the circle of wealthy families was like the Ji family. Because of the generosity of Ji Yan, his younger siblings did not lack money. Ji Qian might not care about a shop. But in the eyes of others, it was a great gift. However, she could not say it out loud.
Yu Miao felt guilty and sad. He could not sit still on the sofa and did not even dare to look Shen Hanxing in the eye.
Shen Hanxing sighed and shook her head at Ji Qian.
Ji Qian pursed her lips and could not help but add, “You want to discredit my sister-in-law and alienate the people from the west side of the city. Kill two birds with one stone. Your parents are quite smart.” Moreover, they did not need to do anything throughout the whole process. As long as Yu Miao, who was not smart and was not the favorite child at home, did it, she could blame it all on Yu Miao if she found it out. It had nothing to do with them.
Yu Miao was about to cry. At this point, she could not lie to herself anymore. Why? Why? Shen Hanxing was so good to her, but her parents wanted to use her to give Shen Hanxing a fatal blow. What was she in her parents’ eyes?
Yu Meng’s face was blank and painful. She was ashamed and looked extremely pitiful.
“I don’t blame you because you don’t know about it,” Shen Hanxing said gently. “It’s just that I really can’t accept this shop. You can take it back.”
“Mrs. Ji, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry,” Yu Meng apologized desperately and clenched the doc.u.ment bag tightly. “I, I’ll go back now. Sorry to disturb you!” As she said that, she stood up and bowed deeply. Tears flowed down her cheeks. Yu Miao wiped her face awkwardly and turned around to leave.
