Chapter 28: The Good Wife

Shen Xingwei was alone, absorbed in the blow of Rong Qingqing not wanting to see him. He stood there for a long time, looked up towards the direction of the fourth floor, and then left with unsteady steps. Once Shen Xingwei left, Nanny Zhao couldn’t hold back anymore and snorted. "Everyone from the second branch is eccentric, it’s them who initiated the change of the marriage agreement, yet the second young master still has the nerve to pretend to be deeply in love here. Back then, Miss Qingqing had such a good relationship with him, but wasn’t she abandoned by the second young master after all?" "He’s the one who voluntarily abandoned Miss Qingqing, yet he still has the audacity to try to entangle her." Guo Lan agreed with the words of Nanny Zhao on this matter. "Everyone thought that once Qingqing finished her studies and returned home, the two of them should get married." Guo Lan nodded, "Decisive action is favorable, in this regard Qingqing did well. For a young woman, this is how it should be; if she continues to entangle, she would end up being looked down upon, I am somewhat surprised that Qingqing, with her gentle and delicate nature, could accomplish this." Initially, everyone thought Rong Qingqing would be forced to accept this fact when she came back and would cry to the point of fainting, or at the very least be devastated, washing her face with tears all day, blaming heaven and others. Unexpectedly, Rong Qingqing quite saw things clearly and not only gained more shares in Shen Group from this matter. She could pick up and let go, saying no to seeing him, without shedding a single useless tear for a man like Shen Xingwei. "They all said that Miss Rong Jiaojiao studied well since childhood, and later went to a prestigious university to study financial management, claiming that no matter who she marries, she would be a good assistant to them, looking at it now, although Miss Qingqing hasn’t studied financial management, her temperament and ability are not necessarily inferior to Rong Jiaojiao’s." Nanny Zhao kept mentioning Rong Jiaojiao and Qingqing, indicating a sense of familiarity and distance accordingly. "After all, one is a legitimate young lady from a famous family, never left behind in education since childhood, while the other is merely an illegitimate child who can’t be presented in public; superiority and inferiority are evident at a glance no matter how much one is packaged." Rong Qingqing is now Shen Jue’s fiancée and has broken cleanly with Shen Xingwei, so Nanny Zhao tends to be protective; now, in her eyes, Rong Qingqing is someone from her own side. With Nanny Zhao saying this, Guo Lan’s anger towards Rong Qingqing subsided a little. While the two were talking, guests arrived at the house again. "Madam, Miss Rong Qingqing’s brother is here looking for her." Seeing the seventeen-year-old boy following behind the servant as they entered. Guo Lan stood up and walked towards the newcomer, smiling, "Rong Ming is here, it’s not the weekend today, why aren’t you at school?" Rong Ming is Rong Qingqing’s cousin, only seventeen years old this year. Rong Ming’s mother is the original wife of Uncle Rong, Rong Honghui; Jiang Min gave birth to Rong Ming three years after marrying Rong Honghui. However, on their tenth anniversary, it was discovered that Rong Honghui was having an affair, and moreover, the mistress from outside had borne him a daughter. The most shocking revelation was that Rong Honghui’s illegitimate daughter is indeed seven years older than Rong Ming. This demonstrates that Rong Honghui already had a daughter when he met his wife Jiang Min, and he concealed it very firmly. After the initial rage, Jiang Min outright divorced Rong Honghui, taking away the majority of his fortune, and then gracefully went abroad alone. And the illegitimate daughter, seven years older than Rong Ming, naturally is now Rong Jiaojiao. At that time, Rong Jiaojiao wasn’t called Rong Jiaojiao, but followed her mother’s surname Ma, being called Ma Yufei. Once Rong Honghui got divorced, it was natural for Ma Li, the mistress, to be legitimized, bringing her daughter into the house. Then insisting on following the name of the legitimate young lady of the Rong Family to change Ma Yufei’s name to Rong Jiaojiao.
