Chapter 242 Complete Chaos

Shen Wenyuan didn't get the answers he wanted and was forced to think about these questions. He was dumbfounded as he stood there looking at Xie Qingran.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Wenyuan finally spoke up: "Qingran, whether you believe me or not, I am truly sincere towards you. The reason I am telling you this at this time is because I feel that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is probably about to face a great calamity!"

"So in your eyes, I should choose to abandon my family and loved ones when disaster strikes, go with you, become your concubine, or even a woman without any title?"

"If this is your love, then Shen Wenyuan, your sincerity is so cheap."

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

Xie Qingran gave a cold smirk, not even glancing at Shen Wenyuan again, and strode inside.

She knew there were many rumors circulating outside, and that most people were waiting to see the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion make a fool of itself, but Xie Qingran believed in Xiao Jue!

She believed that he would be able to hold on when faced with a formidable enemy!

Watching Xie Qingran's retreating figure, Shen Wenyuan felt a pang of grievance for the first time. He lowered his eyes, touched his chest, and couldn't understand why his sincere heart had become something cheap.

He took a deep breath to ease the frustration in his chest before going home to find Shen Wentao.

"Brother, I feel unwell."

Seeing his younger brother's unlucky look, Shen Wentao roughly knew what had happened.

He touched his nose, then looked at Shen Wenyuan and said calmly, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

"I'm heartbroken. I've fallen for a girl, but she doesn't love me and even said my love is cheap!"

"Actually, I don't know why I fell for her. When we first met, she was cold and aloof. I clearly disliked her, but for some reason, after we met a few more times, I realized that she was just a bit cold on the outside, but in fact, she was a very loyal and kind person."

Shen Wenyuan became even more aggrieved as he spoke.

He stared at Shen Wentao with pleading eyes: "Brother, why? Why am I so slow to react? Why did so much time have passed by the time I realized I had fallen in love with this person, and why has she already married someone else? Why?"

Seeing Shen Wenyuan's pitiful appearance, Shen Wentao knew that he must be talking about Xie Qingran.

You shouldn't like someone like that.

"She's someone else's wife, so who are you?"

Shen Wentao rubbed his temples, feeling a sharp pain!

His younger brother was very obedient when he was young, but I don't know why he turned into a spendthrift when he grew up. The most crucial thing is that he has now fallen for this woman.

Shen Wentao could help whoever Shen Wenyuan took a fancy to, but he just happened to fall for Xie Qingran.

"Yes, I know I shouldn't, but I can't control myself."

"Brother, she said she likes Xiao Jue. Let's help Xiao Jue, okay?"

Shen Wenyuan looked at Shen Wentao pitifully, his eyes red.

this……

Seeing Shen Wenyuan's foolish appearance, Shen Wentao was both amused and exasperated. He sighed helplessly and said, "Can you calm down? We're just businessmen. How can we help others?"

"Money, we'll give them enough money, enough supplies, whatever they want, okay?" Shen Wenyuan looked pitifully at Shen Wentao: "Brother, I've never asked you for anything since I was little, can I ask you for this?"

Shen Wentao really wanted to shout at Shen Wenyuan that this was bad!

But looking at her younger brother's pitiful eyes, she couldn't say anything else, so she could only nod helplessly and then say, "I will do my best, don't worry."

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

When Baozhu returned from her walk outside, her face was terribly gloomy. Seeing that the little maid hadn't done her job properly, she angrily cursed, "Don't you all have brains? This is Madam's favorite teacup, and you just smashed it like that!"

Xie Qingran was embroidering a bib for the child when she heard Baozhu's agitated voice. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, put down her needle and thread, and looked at Baozhu who walked in with some helplessness: "What's wrong with you?"

"Miss, you have no idea how outrageous these people's words are these days!"

"They actually said that the child in your belly isn't the Duke's at all!"

Baozhu was furious. She walked over, her face full of anger and gritted teeth.

Seeing Baozhu's sullen expression, Xie Qingran couldn't help but twitch her lips and say calmly, "It's nothing serious. Why are you so angry? If they find out you're upset, won't they be smug?"

"This is very important!"

"Miss, a young lady's reputation is very important. Besides, your child is already being slandered before it's even born. Isn't that going too far?"

"Miss, what should we do now?!"

Baozhu was so anxious that she paced back and forth. Seeing Xie Qingran's indifferent attitude, she became even more worried.

Xie Qingran nodded in agreement, looking at Baozhu with admiration, and said with a smile, "Our Baozhu is really making progress. She already understands the seriousness of this matter. Impressive! So tell me, how should we resolve this issue now?"

What?

Baozhu originally thought Xie Qingran would be very angry about this, but she never expected her to be so indifferent and now even ask her for a solution.

She was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought, and the whole room fell silent.

Xie Qingran then picked up her needle and thread again and continued embroidering.

School.

Xiao Ting and Xiao Yu stared at each other, the air thick with tension, a war about to break out.

The other children were also looking at each other with very unpleasant expressions.

"Xiao Yu, if you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight. I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Xiao Ting gritted his teeth and stared intently at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Xiao Ting: "Fine, one-on-one it is then. I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time!"

Before the words were even finished, the two charged at each other. Xiao Yu punched Xiao Ting hard in the face, and the two immediately began to wrestle.

With a gloomy face, Xiao Yanran held the trembling Xiao Jin and whispered, "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be scared."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin shook his head immediately: "I'm not scared, I'm angry, I want to beat him up!"

What?

Xiao Yanran originally thought that Xiao Jin was trembling because he was young and scared, but she never expected that it was because he was too excited.

She frowned and looked down at Xiao Jin: "Who do you want to beat up?"

"They all deserve a beating!"

Xiao Jin looked in Xiao Huo's direction, gritted his teeth, and cursed viciously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huo immediately rushed forward and began fighting with Xiao Jin. Xiao Huo was older, so Xiao Jin was no match for him. Xiao Yanran disregarded everything else, picked up an inkstone, and smashed it hard on Xiao Huo's head. The entire school was thrown into chaos.
