Shen Qingqing bit her lip, her expression one of utter grievance.
You know what, with her tiny face, so delicate and pitiful, looking like she's about to cry, she really does look incredibly endearing.
No wonder the book is titled "Delicate Beauty".
Exactly, the book's use of excessive beauty filters is ridiculous!
Aside from the name and gender, Jiang Si couldn't see any resemblance between this person and the real-life Shen Qingqing.
Alright, we've eaten and argued, now let's get down to business.
Although Shen Xiuwen was dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude, he thought that business was more important. After making a few perfunctory attempts to smooth things over, he delivered the prepared statement.
"Sisi, your mother passed away early, and you are the only son of the Jiang family. If it weren't for a last resort, how could I bear to send you to the countryside?"
"I have received definite information that the higher-ups have already made plans to purge another batch of people by next month at the latest, and our Jiang family will be among them!"
Lin Yueru chimed in, "Yes, Sisi, although I'm not your biological mother, I've watched you grow up. Aunt Lin really can't bear to see you go to the countryside."

“She has taken care of you all these years, and she has worked hard for you even if she hasn’t done anything particularly meritorious. I can’t let her be a burden.”
"As for me, you don't need to worry about me."
"If it really comes to that, I'll see if I can find someone to transfer me to your area."
"Sisi, time waits for no one, you need to make a decision as soon as possible."
Shen Xiuwen spoke with such sincerity that if Jiang Si hadn't known the plot beforehand, she might have actually fallen for his trick.
After pretending to think for a few minutes, Jiang Si nodded.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After saying that, she glanced at Shen Qingqing sitting opposite her.
Seeing that the other person was barely able to suppress the corners of their lips, Jiang Si sneered inwardly.
"Wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet."
"I can go to the countryside, but—"
