Chapter 5: Not Good Enough for You

Liao Yamei was so flustered, she was about to burst into flames on the spot. "Mom! Stop it!" Shen Xingwei suddenly shouted loudly, directly pulling back his mother who was charging towards Rong Qingqing. Rong Jiaojiao's smile almost couldn't hold up. Even at this moment, Shen Xingwei still instinctively wanted to protect Rong Qingqing, fearing that his mother would go over and hit his beloved Rong Qingqing. So, the true love once shared, compared to the one she and Shen Jue were pretending, is indeed different. But so what? Even the man Rong Qingqing loved the most is now engaged to her, Rong Jiaojiao. "Alright, enough, Xingwei, you were the one in the wrong first, so you can't even let Qingqing complain a little? People shouldn't be so domineering." Old Madam Shen, Zhou Ruyun, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke to stop the ruckus of her daughter-in-law. "Mom!" Liao Yamei was very unwilling, "How can you speak for an outsider..." Before Liao Yamei could finish, Old Madam Shen sternly rebuked her, "Enough!" She then called out to Shen Xingwei, "Take your mother back." Liao Yamei, after all, feared her mother-in-law. She only gave Rong Qingqing an unwilling glare, snorted, and left with Shen Xingwei. "It's getting late, everyone should leave now," Old Master Shen spoke. "Qingqing, since you're back, stay here and cultivate feelings with Ah Jue. You young ones should spend more time together to understand each other better. Naturally, feelings will develop." After he finished, Old Master Shen sighed longingly, looking at his oldest grandson who sat silently, indifferent to everything, before turning to leave with regret. Ever since Shen Jue woke up after being in a coma for three months, his once-proud grandson had remained like this. As if always detached from the world, with no ties to it whatsoever. Old Master Shen's words made Shen Xingwei, who had supported his mother to the doorway, pause in his steps. Liao Yamei tightly grasped her son's wrist, whispering a reminder. "Xingwei, don't forget, Qingqing will be your sister-in-law in the future, and your fiancée is Rong Jiaojiao." In Liao Yamei's opinion, Old Master Shen was overthinking things. Rong Jiaojiao and Shen Jue had spent so many years together without developing any feelings. It would be strange if this girl, discarded by Shen Xingwei, could cultivate feelings with Shen Jue, who has no emotions. Before Shen Jue's accident, though indifferent to people and matters, he was still a person. After the incident, waking up three months later, Shen Jue didn't bother to glance at anyone, not even his previously most respected grandfather, Old Master Shen. Like a puppet. Liao Yamei sneered coldly. "Living under the same roof with a weirdo disabled like Shen Jue, Rong Qingqing won't last two days before she can't stand it and moves out. That way, you won't have to see her and feel hurt." "Xingwei, the Shen family's business will be in your hands in the future. You're a man; you can't act on emotions." As a mother, she earnestly urged him. "Rong Qingqing is good, but she's no longer a match for you. No matter how deep your feelings were in the past, I don't care. Now you need to pull back your heart quickly, don't always let her lead you by the nose." After Old Master Shen left, everyone else in the room quickly followed, even Mr. Rong didn't stay to say more to his granddaughter. Rong Qingqing glanced at Shen Jue sitting in the wheelchair, then turned to look at Shen's mother, Guo Lan. After thinking for a few seconds, Rong Qingqing stood up, intending to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, as she moved, Shen Jue and Mrs. Shen, Guo Lan, both turned their gaze directly towards her.
