Shen Yuan looked at Madam Ji with surprise, and then he found Shen Mingzhu staring at him leisurely with her arms folded across her chest.
No need to say more, Shen Yuan already understood.
Shen Mingzhu's words of "give up" just now were just a trick to play on herself.
She had known for a long time that Madam Ji would unconditionally favor her, so she deliberately showed weakness to make herself think she had a sure win.
Finally, when Old Madam Ji spoke, she mercilessly pushed herself to the bottom.
Only by holding it high can you drop it hard.
Shen Yuan felt so ashamed in an instant that she didn't even dare to look Shen Mingzhu in the eye again.
Those eyes that seemed to see through all of his tricks and then patiently played along with him were actually filled with ridicule for a clown like him who overestimated his own abilities.
Even the shameless Shen Yuan couldn't stand this feeling.
If you continue to fight with Shen Mingzhu, you will be the only one who gets hurt.
Chen Yuan stopped hesitating and didn't care what Ji Yuan behind him thought. He left as quickly as possible.
Since she had left, Ji Yuan didn't want to stay any longer, so she glared at Shen Mingzhu fiercely and left.
For a moment, the only people here were Shen Mingzhu, Old Madam Ji, and the servant who had just been arranged by Shen Mingzhu to report the news.
Shen Mingzhu, who had won great victory, raised her eyebrows, and then laughed out loud without any scruples in front of Old Madam Ji.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha, this is the first time I see these two get humiliated. Their faces are so dark! I feel so good!"
Madam Ji pinched Shen Mingzhu's cheek gently with doting in her eyes.
"Little clever boy, are you satisfied now?"
Shen Mingzhu nodded vigorously, then hugged Madam Ji tightly.
"Grandma is still the best. This is the first time I feel so confident to argue with someone."
Madam Ji patted her on the back and said, "You suffered too much in the past. This carefree look is the most suitable for you now."
Shen Mingzhu raised her head and looked at Madam Ji, "Aren't you afraid that if you indulge me like this, I will become a useless little thing who can do nothing but rely on you?"
Old Madam Ji pinched Shen Mingzhu's cheek with a little force, and only let go after Shen Mingzhu groaned and said it hurt.
"It's right that it hurts! Who said you're a little loser? Even if grandma isn't here, you're sure you can get away with it, right? I couldn't ask for more of such a powerful person to act like a spoiled brat in front of me. Besides, what's wrong with being proud in front of grandma for a while? Grandma loves to watch!"
This time Shen Mingzhu did not dare to belittle herself, but just hugged Madam Ji tightly and refused to let go.
Mrs. Ji's understanding of her even exceeded her imagination.
After all, Ji Yuan and Shen Yuan didn't know her weaknesses, and those harmless words couldn't threaten her at all.
However, the warm atmosphere here formed a sharp contrast with that of the Shen family.
Shen Yuan returned home with a gloomy face. Su Wanqing had just gotten up. Seeing her daughter looking depressed, she couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to play with Yuanyuan? Why do you look so unhappy after coming back? Did you have a fight?"
And Chen Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and sobbed into Su Wanqing's arms.
The trembling body made Su Wanqing feel even more distressed.
"Tell Mommy who bullied you!"
Chen Yuan was really feeling aggrieved this time and was not pretending.
From the time she returned to the Shen family until now, she has never been humiliated like this.
The tears didn't even need any extra tricks, they just kept flowing out.
She sobbed and said, "It was my sister. Yuanyuan met my sister at the Ji family. She, she actually slandered Yuanyuan in front of the old lady. The old lady believed it and directly drove Yuanyuan out of the Ji family."
Of course, Shen Yuan couldn't say that Shen Mingzhu was actually invited to the Ji family by Old Madam Ji.
As long as she said the key words vaguely, Su Wanqing would naturally present the "truth" she wanted to express in her mind.
"You mean, Shen Mingzhu went to the Ji family and sowed discord in front of the old lady?"
Shen Yuan nodded, then shook her head violently as if she remembered something, and then said in the most innocent tone, "Maybe, sister didn't mean it, it's just, just..."
There was no need to say more about the rest, Su Wanqing already understood.
"But how did she get to Ji's house?"
Seeing Su Wanqing fall into deep thought, Shen Yuan was not in a hurry to speak.
At this time, Shen Changlin had just returned from outside.
Seeing the tears on Chen Yuan's face, I felt so distressed.
"What's going on?"
Su Wanqing repeated what had just happened.
Shen Changlin's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Okay, I was wondering why she ran out so obediently, it turns out it was because of this."
Su Wanqing couldn't quite understand what her husband said.
"What's the meaning?"
Shen Changlin looked at his wife's puzzled expression and couldn't help but hug them both in his arms.
"You don't know, when you were unconscious, Shen Mingzhu was still confident that she was not at fault. I was so angry at the time that I told her to get out, but she said she didn't want to come back."
Su Wanqing seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. Anyway, after returning from the hospital, she always felt like she had forgotten something.
Especially what happened before the coma, which can only be imagined from the descriptions of Shen Yuan and her husband.
In fact, she couldn't remember anything at all, but that didn't stop her from remembering Shen Mingzhu's disrespect towards her.
"But why would the Ji family take her in?"
"Humph, she probably didn't tell the Ji family the truth, and then she moved in openly under the name of the Ji family patriarch's fiancée."
"What?"
Su Wanqing suddenly exclaimed, "How dare she?"
"Hubby, I wronged you. When you told me yesterday to return the engagement that belonged to Yuanyuan, I didn't understand. Now I understand. No one can take away what belongs to Yuanyuan!"
"Well, Shen Mingzhu's shameless behavior is simply a discredit to our Shen family. Anyway, she has been kicked out, and some things cannot be left to her for nothing."
Su Wanqing nodded and said, "Well, I will take Yuanyuan to visit the old lady in person tomorrow. We must not let Shen Mingzhu take Yuanyuan's things away."
The couple's singing of the same tune was exactly what Chen Yuan wanted.
They had already arranged everything without her even having to ask.
Now, she wanted to see what Shen Mingzhu was proud of.
Even with the old lady's protection, it is only temporary. The old lady may have been deceived by her.
Moreover, if she could win the old lady's favor, wouldn't she be able to easily control Ji Yuan?
When she thought about how she would get more in the future, even today's unhappiness was swept away.
However, the hatred towards Shen Mingzhu will only increase and not decrease.
She didn't allow Shen Mingzhu to live a good life.
Don’t allow the other person to live more comfortably than yourself.
She didn't even need to know why she hated Shen Mingzhu so much. It was just an intuition that Shen Mingzhu's existence would ruin everything for her.
So whenever there is a chance, Shen Yuan will not miss the opportunity to make Shen Mingzhu suffer.
This obsession is deeply engraved in her bones and blood.
Even if it meant losing eight hundred dollars herself, she would be willing to do it if she could hurt Shen Mingzhu by a thousand dollars.
