Shen Baiyun: …
So why did she open her mouth just now?!
The original plot’s “asking for money” scene wouldn’t change, but the person being asked for money could be swapped.
As the supporting female character, Shen Qingqing framing the female lead was only natural.
Shen Laicai and Song Zhaodi, who had been a little worried before, exchanged glances and practically slapped their thighs, thinking: Why didn’t we think of this sooner?
Song Zhaodi suddenly twisted her thigh, wiped away imaginary tears, grabbed Shen Baiyun’s skirt, and said, “Baiyun!”
“Your mom carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, yet by some twist of fate you’re enjoying life in the Shen family, while your father and I are still scraping by…”
Shen Qingqing sneered inwardly.
In just a few words, the lazy, non-working, perpetually poor original self had been blamed instead.
These two knew how to act.
Shen Laicai looked up with his aged eyes at Shen Baiyun “Baiyun, the house at home is really falling apart, but there’s no money…”
“Baiyun, living like this, you should have some money at hand, right?”
Shen Baiyun wanted to slap herself.
She wanted to refuse, but her eyes glanced at the silver bracelet on her wrist.
It was newly bought, not worth much.
Thinking quickly, she removed the bracelet and handed it over, saying “Ever since you found out my true identity, I haven’t had any money. This is all I can give right now.”
The scene fell silent.
Shen Laicai looked at the silver bracelet, swallowed, and snatched it.
Seeing this, Shen Baiyun’s eyes flashed with disgust.
She calmly said, “Since you came all the way from the countryside, it’s not easy. Now that it’s getting dark, and you’ve taken the bracelet, you should head back.”
This was a subtle “get out” command.
Song Zhaodi’s face darkened and brightened in turn.
A silver bracelet how much is that worth?
It’s barely enough to feed a beggar!
Song Zhaodi’s heart burned with dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing smiled faintly and asked “Sister isn’t keeping her parents as guests?”
Shen Baiyun, full of resentment, glanced at Shen Qingqing and said “They probably have work at home. Why stay here?”
Then she added coldly “They’ll be back soon. If they see you, it won’t be good.”
Her tone was icy, making Shen Laicai and Song Zhaodi even more displeased.
They dared confront Shen Qingqing, but weren’t about to target this city-born girl.
So the couple mumbled and didn’t speak.
Eventually, Song Zhaodi got up to take her leave.
As the couple walked away, Shen Baiyun coldly said: “Shen Qingqing, what good does this do you?”
Shen Qingqing didn’t reply. She cast Shen Baiyun a meaningful glance and then walked out slowly.
Before long, she caught up with Shen Laicai and Song Zhaodi.
They were sitting in the villa district’s greenbelt. Song Zhaodi’s sharp, cutting voice carried through the flowerbeds, and Shen Qingqing could hear every word.
“That Shen Qingqing brat she has no money! Truly useless!”
“And that Shen Baiyun, I carried her for ten months! Who would she be without me? And she fools me with a broken bracelet!”
Shen Laicai clicked his tongue “The son’s betrothal gifts are being demanded fast. Seeing Shen Qingqing and Shen Baiyun both in the city, yet…”
Song Zhaodi’s eyes glinted viciously: “No, we must get the money! Our coffin fund cannot be touched!”
At that moment, a clapping sound echoed: “Pa-pa!”
“Who’s there?”
“Of course, it’s me!” Shen Qingqing strode out from behind the bushes.
Even in her somewhat “shabby” clothes, she exuded an imposing aura.
Under Shen Qingqing’s sharp gaze, Song Zhaodi immediately lowered her head.
Shen Laicai finally spoke: “Qingqing, you’re asking for money?”
Oh, still greedy, huh.
But no money would be given.
Shen Qingqing’s lips curved slightly, and she said softly “I don’t have money right now, but I have a method to help you get it.”
She was fully playing the role a supporting female should.
A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on her face, but her eyes were sharp and ruthless, making Shen Laicai shiver.
Is this still the dutiful, obedient daughter?
Of course not she had a new “core” now.
Song Zhaodi couldn’t help asking: “What method?”
“Of course…” Shen Qingqing leaned closer: “Have you heard the saying? We live in an internet world now.”
“A rich girl moves into a wealthy family and doesn’t care about her biological parents.”
“Publishing this kind of news would be explosive, right?”
“Besides, this afternoon, Shen Baiyun is starting work at Lu Corporation.”
Shen Qingqing led them along subtly.
Song Zhaodi immediately understood what Shen Qingqing wanted them to do.
“This… this…”
Shen Qingqing straightened her back as if nothing had happened.
“I only gave you a suggestion because Shen Baiyun is too arrogant. Whether you act on it or not is up to you.”
“I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
With that, she left behind a self-satisfied, accomplished figure, leaving Shen Laicai and Song Zhaodi silent for a long moment.
Song Zhaodi suddenly said: “Shen Qingqing is also at Lu Corporation. Why don’t we mess with her instead?”
“Fool!” Shen Laicai interrupted her: “Even if Shen Qingqing has money, she’s married. Shen Baiyun is different…”
Song Zhaodi nodded slightly, agreeing.
In truth, she didn’t want to target Shen Qingqing. Earlier, Shen Qingqing had been pitiful, and now cheerful and giving advice. It intimidated them a little.
At this moment, Shen Qingqing was already back home.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Qianshan sitting on the sofa.
“Where have you been?” he asked without looking up.
Shen Qingqing mischievously stepped over and covered his eyes with her hand. “Guess.”
“To the Shen house.”
Shen Qingqing quickly pulled her hand away, meeting Lu Qianshan’s starry eyes: “How did you know?”
Lu Qianshan had been about to say a bodyguard reported it, but thought better of it he didn’t want Shen Qingqing to think he was spying on her.
He said instead.
“I attended a meeting at Lu Corporation today, but didn’t see you. You weren’t at home, and knowing your personality, you wouldn’t just go shopping…”
Seems the main villain knows her well.
Shen Qingqing sat down steadily, glanced at the red-and-green stock charts on Lu Qianshan’s computer, and said.
“My foster parents came today. They asked me for money. I didn’t give it, and passed the problem on to Shen Baiyun…”
“After all, she’s their biological daughter. You don’t think I was too cruel, right?” Shen Qingqing recounted her actions with a “friendly” expression toward Lu Qianshan.
Lu Qianshan…
What could he say?
After a month together, he realized he genuinely liked Shen Qingqing deeply, passionately, uncontrollably.
He fell silent for a moment, then said “I’ll try to guide public opinion. Do you want me to do anything else?”
For example, targeting Shen Baiyun.
Shen Qingqing smiled and leaned against Lu Qianshan’s warm chest, saying lightly:
“No need Shen Baiyun starts at the company this afternoon. With her style, she’ll stir up trouble herself.”
Lu Qianshan nodded. “Lu Kai has been active recently. As far as I know, he also has his own company.”
A hero always has something else on the side.
Shen Qingqing, unsurprised, said okay, peeled a grape, and fed it to Lu Qianshan.
She didn’t notice the depth in his gaze.
The next second, Lu Qianshan kissed her.
Shen Qingqing wanted desperately to push him away.
But…
Lu Qianshan was too heavy.
She couldn’t move him.
So she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
