Chapter 296 Chapter 216 Comparing with him, isn't that asking for trouble?
Suddenly thinking of something, Tao Jin turned his head to look at Shen Qinghuan.
"I was just asking about your ex-husband. Why did you mention Jiang's Group to me? Could it be that he works for Jiang's Group?"
Shen Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and smiled, then said slowly, "What a coincidence! My ex-husband's name is also Jiang Yu."
Tao Jin: “!!!”
Tao Jin looked at Shen Qinghuan in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.
He knew clearly that Shen Qinghuan would never lie to him about such a thing, but he just felt that Shen Qinghuan had lied to him and was joking with him. How could the person at the helm of Jiang Group be her ex-husband?
"Do you think I'm not worthy of someone like him?" Shen Qinghuan asked casually.
Tao Jin was stunned for a moment, shaking his head like a rattle, "That's not the case. I haven't thought about it that way. I just feel..."
Shen Qinghuan raised her red lips and said with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
"Well, it's nothing!" Tao Jin hesitated and frowned.
He secretly glanced at Shen Qinghuan again.
"Sister, don't worry! I am ten years younger than him. When I am as old as him, I will definitely not be worse than him!" Tao Jin deliberately puffed out his chest, looking confident.
Shen Qinghuan pulled the corners of her mouth and sighed slightly in her heart. It turned out that she was not mistaken.
"Why are you comparing yourself to him? He started much higher than you. Just compare yourself to who you were yesterday."
Comparing with him, isn't that asking for trouble?
Tao Jin thought about it seriously, his brows knitted tightly together again. That was his idol! He seemed to have never been able to surpass him. He couldn't compare to him before, he couldn't compare to him now, and it would be difficult to compare to him in the future...
The confidence that had just arisen fell back precipitously.
"Tao Jin, that guy is quite perverted! You can regard him as an idol, but don't compare yourself to him, otherwise you will doubt your life."
She is not exaggerating, she is speaking from experience.
At that time, no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with him. Later, he went to a top university in Country M, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not get into that university.
Later she compromised.

When Shen Qinghuan returned home from the hospital, it was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there were still four days until the Chinese New Year.
As soon as she got home, she picked up her phone and called the housekeeping department to ask them to send someone to clean her house.
Tao Jin originally wanted to send her upstairs, but he received a call from his mother halfway, urging him to go back.
He had no choice but to send Shen Qinghuan downstairs and kept apologizing to her.
Shen Qinghuan didn't care at all. After all, she knew Ms. Xiang's personality too well.
After she asked the housekeeping to arrange the cleaning, she was about to order takeout when her cell phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the name displayed on the phone screen.
She closed her eyes tightly, then put the phone to her ear and said in a slightly cold voice, "Hello?"
Hearing Shen Qinghuan's voice coming from the phone, Xiang Huili's heart couldn't help but fall back, "Huanhuan, it's Mom! The New Year is coming soon, do you want to move in with Mom?"
Ever since she received her husband's instructions, she no longer dared to interfere in Shen Qinghuan's marriage.
If they remarry, wouldn't she be in a thankless position?
Besides, in such a big city like Nancheng, it is hard to find a son-in-law better than Jiang Yu.
Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but frown when she heard this. "Ms. Xiang, please speak directly if you have something to say. There's no need to beat around the bush!"
"I, didn't I just say that?" Xiang Huili sighed helplessly. She really had no idea what to do with her daughter.
After a pause, she continued, "This is also what your Uncle Tao meant. Now that you're divorced from Jiang Yu, you'll definitely be spending the New Year alone. It's always lonely to be alone during this important New Year."
"Huanhuan, it was Mom's fault before. Mom apologizes to you. You should stay here for the New Year! We haven't celebrated the New Year together for many years. This year, let's have some fun together."
"By the way, Huanhuan, you haven't met your brother yet, right? He'll be staying home for the New Year holidays. He's a very good-natured kid, and you'll definitely like him when you meet him."
Shen Qinghuan was silent.
He neither refused the lady's invitation nor directly accepted her invitation.
Xiang Huili knew that she had done something wrong, but Shen Qinghuan remained silent. She felt somewhat unhappy. As her mother, she had already apologized to her, so what else did she want?
Do you want her to kneel down and beg for her forgiveness?
But thinking of her husband's previous instructions, Xiang Huili gritted her teeth unwillingly, her words revealing pleading and flattery: "Huanhuan, Mom already knows she was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"
Shen Qinghuan lowered her eyes, and her dark blue eyelashes hid the strange color in her eyes.
But her bright little face remained expressionless, cold and indifferent. She said, "Nothing else, I'm hanging up."
She also looked forward to maternal love, but in the end... she gave up.
Because she found that she no longer needed this thing, she had grown up.
She is no longer the child abandoned by her mother many years ago.
Xiang Huili became anxious upon hearing this and quickly spoke out to stop him: "Don't hang up! Huanhuan, don't hang up first!"
Shen Qinghuan frowned slightly, with obvious unhappiness on her face, but she still endured it.
"If you're still apologizing to me, then there's no need to continue."
"I..." Xiang Huili choked.
She couldn't understand why Shen Qinghuan still refused to forgive her even though she had already apologized!
After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Huili reorganized her words: "Huanhuan, the room at home has been prepared for you. You can move in in the next two days. Find a day that is convenient for you, and I will ask your brother to pick you up."
Shen Qinghuan: "I have somewhere to go for the New Year!"
She had already promised Aunt Zhang that she would go back to the old house with them to celebrate the New Year, and on New Year's Eve, she would burn incense for Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.
Xiang Huili: "Do you have somewhere to go? Where are you planning to go? Huanhuan, it's Chinese New Year, and everyone else's family is getting together. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to go to someone else's house alone?"
After a pause, she continued, "Huanhuan, Mom and your Uncle Tao really want to invite you to our home to celebrate the New Year."
"I appreciate your kindness. I'm hanging up now."
This time, Shen Qinghuan did not hesitate any longer. He decisively ended the call and threw the phone aside.
Then he lay on the sofa and pretended to be dead.
Even though her cell phone kept ringing, she pretended not to hear anything and didn't even glance at it.
More than half an hour later, the housekeeping company sent a cleaning lady to clean up.
Shen Qinghuan ordered a takeout for herself. While waiting for the meal, she turned on her computer and started drawing the design.
“Ding Dong——”
WeChat notification sound!
She stretched out her arm to pick up the phone.
Li Meng: [Baby, I'm starting to board the plane. I'll send you some nice photos when I get there.]
Shen Qinghuan: [Envy!]
Shen Qinghuan: [I wish you and your man a happy honeymoon. Looking forward to your beautiful photos.]
After sending the message, Shen Qinghuan put the phone back far away.
She supported her chin with one hand, frowned and thought, then leaned back in her chair lazily.
What to do? She also wanted to go out and see the world.
