Chapter 36: Cold-Hearted Freak

"You already knew, huh?" Rong Qingqing waited for her at the school gate for more than forty minutes, so Shen Qiao wasn’t surprised that Rong Qingqing noticed these things. Hearing Rong Qingqing ask her like that, Shen Qiao didn’t really care, she just sipped her milk tea without saying a word. "Not talking?" Rong Qingqing sneered, "Afraid that if you speak up, I’ll make fun of you?" Rong Qingqing’s words were truly infuriating. Shen Qiao glared at her and replied irritably, "Of course not." Shen Qiao put down her milk tea and sighed, "My brother is in this state where he doesn’t care about anything, and it’s useless to talk to him." "As for my mom, don’t be fooled by how she can still chat and laugh with us during the day. She’s actually just holding on, ever since my dad and brother got into trouble, I’ve caught her crying alone in the room several times. I don’t want to trouble her further with my issues." Young girls in their teens care the most about their mothers. "Then why don’t you tell your grandpa?" Rong Qingqing asked, "Surely you can ask the old man to help you out?" "I don’t need him!" Shen Qiao’s reaction was somewhat intense, "I hate him." After saying these four words, the young girl choked up a bit. "Even though Lin Bufan and the others kept it from me, I just know that there are many suspicious points about the incident with my dad and brother, it must be my second uncle’s doing, my dad disappeared, and everyone said he was dead, my brother was crippled, yet my grandpa directly handed the company over to my second uncle and his people. My grandpa is biased towards my second uncle, he’s a cold-hearted person." Shen Qiao sniffled, "I don’t want my issues managed by a cold-hearted freak! He’s the second uncle’s family, not mine." Rong Qingqing was shocked. "You suspect that your uncle was behind your dad and brother’s accident?" That’s horrifying! "It’s not just me suspecting it, Lin Bufan and the others also suspect it. While my brother was in a coma, I heard him on the phone investigating this matter, but just as my brother woke up, the matter hadn’t been cleared up, my grandpa brought my second uncle and Shen Xingwei into the company to replace my dad and brother’s positions." Shen Qiao pursed her lips and looked at Rong Qingqing. "And now, Shen Xingwei took a liking to Rong Jiaojiao. Didn’t the old man snatch Rong Jiaojiao away for them to push you over to my brother?" "The old man’s heart is so biased that he doesn’t even consider us as his children or grandchildren, he doesn’t like us, and I don’t like him. It’s just a few words from people, it doesn’t cost a thing." After speaking, Shen Qiao hugged her milk tea, looked down, and took another sip. When she spoke again, her voice was noticeably different. "When you go home, don’t tell my mom about these things. You asked on your own, so I told you." Shen Qiao threatened, "If you dare to tell anyone else, I’ll kick you out of Shen Manor." Rong Qingqing thought, if they weren’t in her car now, this little girl Shen Qiao might already be crying her heart out. Rong Qingqing glanced at Shen Qiao and agreed with a hum. "Those people are just jealous of you and talk nonsense, don’t take it to heart." Rong Qingqing offered some comfort. "I don’t take it to heart at all," Shen Qiao said, completely unconcerned, "I’m a daughter of the Shen Family, I’ve had everything since I was young, so I’m blessed, how could I be a bad luck bringer?" Rong Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh; it was the first time she heard someone praise themselves like that.
