Chapter 16: The Joy of Getting Rich

Rong Qingqing blurted out, "That's not acceptable!" "Why not?" Shen Qiao pouted, clearly displeased. "I think you're just deliberately picking on my brother!" "How can I, an adult, make a minor spend money? That's outrageous!" Rong Qingqing's tone was full of righteous indignation. Mrs. Shen thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Then how about I do it?" "No way!" Rong Qingqing slowly stood up. "As an adult, how can I let an elder spend money? That's even more outrageous!" Rong Qingqing sighed and returned to Shen Jue's side, "Forget it, let's not give it!" With that, she pushed Shen Jue away. The beggar sat there, chuckling coldly, "I've seen stingy people, but never this stingy!" The beggar clattered and lay back down, picked up a book and continued reading, ignoring Mrs. Shen and Shen Qiao, who were still standing there. "Mom!" Shen Qiao snapped back to reality, stomping her feet in frustration, "Look at Rong Qingqing, she's doing this on purpose!" "She's intentionally embarrassing my brother! When she was with Shen Xingwei, she never gave him a hard time like this!" Mrs. Shen frowned slightly at Rong Qingqing's departing figure. Shen Qiao wasn't wrong; when Rong Qingqing was with Shen Xingwei before, she was very gentle and obedient. She had never acted like this before. "Let's follow." Mrs. Shen shook her head helplessly, "She's also innocent, it's normal for her to feel upset." "She's innocent, and my brother isn't? She's upset, and my brother has no feelings? If she's got issues, she should take it up with the two old masters!" Shen Qiao got more and more upset but couldn't do anything about Rong Qingqing. Watching Rong Qingqing already pushing Shen Jue far away, Shen Qiao could only take her mother's hand and speed up to catch up. Grumbling as she went, "Rong Qingqing is bullying my brother now because he can't walk, so she didn't even ask, just pushed him off! If it were Shen Xingwei, let's see if she'd dare to mess with her beloved like that!" Rong Qingqing was pushing Shen Jue, pondering, and curiously asked him, "Was that beggar's watch really worth hundreds of thousands?" Shen Jue's eyes darkened, "Are you doubting me?" "Haha, not at all." Rong Qingqing saw Shen Jue's displeasure and quickly flashed him a fawning smile. "I'm just really curious about what his primary business is. If possible, I'd like him to help me out too, so I can experience the joy of getting rich." "Do you think after playing around with him earlier, you still have a chance to let him help you out?" Shen Jue curled his lips. He laughed again, a mocking tone, "Just with the shares you hold in the Shen Group, do you, Rong Qingqing, still need someone else to let you experience the joy of getting rich?" Rong Qingqing's face twitched. Oh, she actually forgot about the shares she got today from Mr. Shen. She touched the tip of her nose and muttered quietly. "You rich people will never understand that the happiness of lying down to get rich and the happiness of getting rich through hard work is different." "You're completely incomprehensible." Shen Jue decided not to engage with Rong Qingqing anymore. Just about everything she says is baffling. Rong Qingqing gave Shen Jue's hair a profound look, then, with a meaningful tone, she softly said, "I said you wouldn't understand, and you really don't, yet you turn around and say I'm baffling." Shen Jue ignored her, and Rong Qingqing pursed her lips, spotting a small pavilion ahead. In the small pavilion, an auntie had set up a small stall with drinks and mineral water, and Rong Qingqing's expression immediately shifted.
