Seven hours have passed since Gu Zhun made his outrageous remarks.
Shen Beitang tossed and turned in bed, carefully reviewing all the contents of "The Female Supporting Character's Cannon Fodder Stepping Stone".
According to the original storyline, Gu Zhun fell deeply in love with Bai Ling at the party for the listing of a subsidiary company, becoming her devoted fan.
So now, if we can successfully get the two of them to meet at the party, it will definitely be an instant and irreversible event.
That way I can escape Gu Zhun's clutches!
——
The next day
"Aunt Wang, I want to eat pig-shaped buns with milk today."
Shen Beitang, who had just woken up, spoke softly and wore a pair of cute bunny slippers.
"Oh dear, my young lady, did you offend Young Master Shan again yesterday?"
Aunt Wang, still wearing an apron, grabbed Shen Beitang's hand and pulled her towards the next room, trying to make her hide.
"What's wrong? Aunt Wang, my mom's back. Didn't she say she'd be back next month?"
Shen Beitang rubbed his eyes in a daze, wondering why it was like he had broken a law of heaven just because he had simply broken off an engagement.
Could it be that Shan Chengming has come to beg me for help so soon?
Aunt Wang gestured towards the downstairs area, "If only Madam were here, the Shan Chengming family would be sitting downstairs, waiting for you, Miss, to give them an explanation."
Give us an explanation?
Presumably, the two were talking too loudly, and Madam Shan downstairs heard the noise and said something sarcastic.
"Didn't you say you weren't here? Tangtang, since you're awake, come down and sit for a while."
Judging from this demeanor, the newcomer is not friendly. Shen Beitang needs to have a good talk with this Madam Shan and find out who she is.
After going downstairs, I saw that Madam Shan was sitting in the main seat, and Shan Chengming was sitting to the side sending messages. After hearing Shen Beitang come down, he glared at her fiercely.
"Tangtang, as a junior, you have the audacity to refuse to see me. I've been here for so long and you haven't even offered me a cup of tea. Is this how the Shen family treats its guests?"
Madam Shan looked Shen Beitang up and down, and seeing that she had come down in her pajamas, she seemed to be criticizing her for not knowing manners.
But when Shen Beitang came down, he could clearly smell the aroma of tea in the air, and it was even the best Longjing tea. It seems that he came here on purpose to find fault.
"Aunt Shan, it seems that our Shen family can't satisfy your Shan family's palates. Please go back."
Shen Beitang picked up the piggy bun and bit off its head.
Madam Shan stared wide-eyed at Shen Beitang in disbelief, her lips trembling as she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Although the Shan family was not as powerful as the Shen family, Shen Beitang always bowed and scraped whenever he saw her, calling her "Aunt Shan, Aunt Shan" incessantly, and filling the entire closet with new handbags.
Yesterday, Shan Chengming told her that Shen Beitang had agreed to annul their engagement, which Shan's wife initially didn't believe.
Shen Beitang loves Chengming so much that even if Chengming asked for all the shares she held, she would sign without hesitation.
How could one just give up like that? Looking at it today, what Shan Chengming said is true; Shen Beitang has really changed.
"Madam Shan, if there's nothing else, please take your good son and go back first."
Shen Beitang politely stood up and gestured for the guest to leave.
“Shen Beitang, words spoken are like water spilled; if you still love Chengming, today is your last chance to win him back.”
Madam Shan assumed that Shen Beitang had lost her mind yesterday and was just spouting nonsense. She knew that any smart woman would know what to do if she was given a way out.
"Mrs. Shan, Shan Chengming and I made it very clear yesterday that canceling the engagement was agreed upon by both parties."
Shen Beitang paused and glanced at Shan Chengming, who had become timid and submissive in front of Madam Shan.
"Instead of wasting time here with me, you might as well go home and tell your relatives and friends to prepare for Shan Chengming and Bai Ling's wedding."
Mentioning Bai Ling, Madam Shan glanced at her good-for-nothing son.
Bai Ling, she had always known, was an illegitimate daughter who was not worthy of being brought into the Shan family.
"Even if there were conflicts between the two of you, it was you who proposed to break off the engagement, so shouldn't you compensate Chengming?"
Shen Beitang almost laughed out of anger at Madam Shan's logic. The little pig bun was stuck in his throat for a long time, but he finally took a sip of milk.
"I was polite to you at first because you were my elder, but I never expected your family to be so shameless!"
"Bai Ling, whom Shan Chengming fell in love with during our engagement, betrayed me. Can't I even suggest breaking off the engagement?"
Shen Beitang pointed at Shan Chengming and said, "If Shan Chengming admits today that he doesn't love Bai Ling, I'll accept any amount of compensation."
"Chengming, tell me quickly! Bai Ling is just an illegitimate daughter. Is the Shan family more important or an illegitimate daughter?"
Madam Shan kept pushing Shan Chengming with her elbow, and she had even thought of compensation, which was the land that the Shen family had recently acquired in the north.
Shan Chengming was forced to come, and he had already harbored resentment in his heart.
"Mom, I will only marry Bai Ling in my life. As for Shen Beitang, I don't love her at all."
Shen Beitang was speechless. If you're going to express your love, fine, but why drag her down with you...?
"Madam Shan, your son is so determined. As his mother, do you really want to destroy his happiness?"
"Fine, Shen Beitang, there are only so many well-known families in Anshi. You're a woman who was jilted by the Shan family. Let's see which family would dare to take you in!"
After saying this, Madam Shan pulled the disappointed Shan Chengming away.
...
"Aunt Wang, two more pig-shaped buns, please."
After getting rid of the two annoying guys, Shen Beitang's appetite returned.
"My little darling, you can't eat anymore. Your dress has just arrived today, and if you eat any more, you won't be able to wear it."
Aunt Wang snatched the bun that Shen Beitang was about to put in her mouth, "Go wash up quickly, the stylist will be here soon."
"Aunt Wang, what kind of dress is it?"
"My dear young lady, the day after tomorrow is the day that the Gu Group's subsidiary will be listed on the stock exchange."
It came so easily! I thought I'd have to wait a few more days, but the opportunity has already come knocking on my door.
In the original book, the author only briefly mentioned their first meeting, without explaining what happened between them.
"Aunt Wang, is Bai Ling going to the party the day after tomorrow?"
Mentioning Bai Ling, Aunt Wang's face immediately fell, her previous amiable expression vanishing. "For such a grand occasion, with Bai Ling's status, how could she possibly have an invitation?"
"Give Bai Ling an invitation and tell her to go to the party too," Shen Beitang instructed.
"Miss, that's brilliant." Aunt Wang nodded knowingly, casting an admiring glance at Shen Beitang.
Shen Beitang was confused again. How was sending a simple invitation so clever?
"Aunt Wang, what are you saying...?"
"Here, Miss, these are your usual things. What are you taking with you the day after tomorrow?"
Aunt Wang skillfully took a bag from the warehouse containing mini scissors, pepper spray, paint in small bottles, and even a saw...
"Aunt Wang, what are these...?" Could these be the original owner's anti-wolf supplies?
"Tell me, this time are you going to cut off that little bitch Bai Ling's skirt lining to expose her panties, or saw off her high heels, or..."
Aunt Wang handed the chili water and paint to Shen Beitang, saying, "Would it be more satisfying if you did it yourself, Miss? It would make Bai Ling unable to hold her head up in front of everyone!"
The pepper spray and paint in his hand had clearly been used before, indicating that Shen Beitang had used these two things on Bai Ling more than once.
Technology is advancing, but Shen Beitang's methods of tormenting people are still stuck in the same place...
"Hehe, Aunt Wang, you should put these things away. You won't need them anymore."
Since we're going to live well in the original owner's body, we need to reduce the chances of her courting death.
"As expected of Miss, she immediately came up with a new trick to prank people. Impressive!"
Shen Beitang: "Hehehe..."
