Chu Xiangyun never expected that the elegant and dignified Madam Sheng would say such a thing.

She was treated like a clown, mocked and bullied by these wealthy women who didn't treat her like a human being at all.

"Since you came here without saying a word today, you should be prepared to humiliate yourself. Besides, my mother wasn't wrong. Didn't you come here asking us to scold you?"

Shen Wangshu watched as the frail and beautiful woman trembled, covering her mouth, her tears flowing even more profusely. Yet, Shen Wangshu felt no sympathy for her. Even if Gao Sen truly wanted his son back, shouldn't he have at least called Chu Xiangyun? Chu Xiangyun's actions seemed rather deliberate. After a moment's thought, Shen Wangshu smiled and said, "How about I go and tell Gao Sen about your grievances?"

"No!" Chu Xiangyun came here today to take Gao Xi back, and also to prevent the second young lady of the Sheng family from getting close to Gao Sen again.

She was a simple woman who didn't understand the complicated rules of wealthy families, nor did she know what to be careful about when doing business outside. All she knew was how to please a man, take care of him, and make him feel warm.

But this man clearly doesn't need her to please him anymore.

Yesterday, the second young lady of the Sheng family left with Gao Xi, and Gao Sen was completely lost and absent-minded, even when he was talking to Chu Xiangyun. During this time together, Gao Sen had always been very gentle with her. Although he would sometimes lose his temper with her, he would cherish her again after she cried.

He was even willing to leave his son, Gao Xi, at home all day just to take her to the amusement park, simply because she had once said that her family was poor and she had never been to an amusement park. At that time, the lights were dim, and she sat on the carousel in the amusement park, watching the handsome man smiling and waving to her, feeling so happy.

She thought she could be with Gao Sen; he liked her, and she liked him too, and they would have many children together.

Even if Gao Xi wasn't her biological son, she would still try to let go of her jealousy towards the woman from before and treat Gao Xi well, out of respect for Gao Sen.

If it weren't for Gao Sen's special treatment of the second young lady of the Sheng family, Chu Xiangyun would have been secretly pleased when Gao Xi was sent to the Sheng family.

If Gao Xi could stay in the Sheng family forever and never reappear, that would be wonderful.

However, when the second young lady of the Sheng family appeared and left with Gao Xi, Chu Xiangyun suffered heart-wrenching pain.

Gao Sen stood there at the villa's entrance, lost in thought. Even though the Sheng family's car had long since driven away, he couldn't bear to look away, as if hoping that the second young lady of the Sheng family would change her mind and return to him.

He stood once more before his deceased wife's photograph, tears streaming down his face, talking at length about the similarities and differences between the Sheng sisters. She listened, sobbing behind him. In the past, this man would turn around and comfort her, embracing her and telling her not to cry when he heard her weeping, but this time he acted as if he hadn't heard a word; his eyes were only on the woman in the photograph.

What's so great about that woman anyway?

She was meticulously crafted, but didn't she know that Gao Sen didn't like women who were overly pretentious?

He prefers girls who are pure and innocent, obedient and well-behaved, who wait for him to come home with a happy smile, rather than a cold, demure template, or a radiant but aloof statue.

Looking at the woman in the photo, Chu Xiangyun suddenly found it somewhat amusing. She knew that Gao Sen actually preferred girls like herself, and this woman's only advantage over her was that she was dead. The dead always make people forget all the bad things and only remember the good.

If she were still alive, Chu Xiangyun would be certain that Gao Sen would still fall in love with her.

But after she died, Gao Sen couldn't forget her, and even developed feelings for her sister.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangyun couldn't help but look at the contented Shen Wangshu with resentful eyes.

Did this second young lady of the Sheng family not know that she and her sister looked very similar before she came to the Gao family? She clearly knew that she would make Gao Sen fall in love, but she still came under the pretense of taking away her nephew, just to seduce her brother-in-law, right?

She even adopted a haughty and disdainful demeanor, and she succeeded. Gao Sen couldn't forget her; he got drunk again, clutching his wife's photo and calling out the names of his two sisters. Chu Xiangyun felt her heart was being torn apart. She felt she hadn't done anything wrong; why couldn't she be with Gao Sen?

As for Gao Xi... isn't she already trying to please the child enough?

She had tried her best to be good to him, and she had even secretly asked Gao Xi if it would be good for her to be his mother.

But this child is an ungrateful brat who pretends to be hungry so that he can get scolded.

There's plenty of food in the fridge. Even if she forgot, doesn't Gao Xi know he opened the fridge?

"What happens between you and Gao Sen is none of our business." Even though he wanted to slap Chu Xiangyun across the face, Sheng's father had to hold back.

But Madam Sheng was not one to back down. She splashed a cup of tea on Chu Xiangyun's face, coldly watching her disheveled state, and said in a low voice, "Jiajia is gone. To be honest, the Gao family and the Sheng family have no connection. He can find whomever he wants; we're not interested. But you shouldn't have come to the Sheng family to show off and flaunt your victory! Do you think I'm someone who's never seen the world? Those mistresses who want to climb the social ladder and want us to know all use this trick!"

Mrs. Sheng had witnessed too much infighting among women in wealthy families.

The mistress, eager to rise in status, tearfully approached the wife's door, pleading and begging, claiming she was only thinking of the man's best interests. But her true intentions were obvious to everyone.
