Chapter 593 Shen Qingling VS Luo Liang Just as Luo Liang's figure appeared at the door, Gu Luo suddenly stood up.
He subconsciously straightened his clothes and said politely, "Aunt Luo."
Even though the two have had conflicts now, Luo Liang is both an elder and Luo Shuning's "mother," and he never dares to lack this respect.
After all... after all, I was indeed in the wrong.
Luo Liang simply nodded slightly, neither putting on airs as an elder nor feigning indifference—her gaze swept across the living room, lingering on Shen Qingling for half a second, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Both of her daughters were devoted to Gu Luo, yet this granddaughter of the Shen family was here. Even with her calm demeanor, she couldn't help but feel curious. However, given Shen Qingling's status, she ultimately didn't ask any further questions, instead turning her gaze back to Luo Shuning and speaking succinctly:
Let's go.
Luo Shuning pursed her lips, her expression complex, and pressed her tongue against her back teeth, letting out a soft sigh in her heart.
She truly doesn't know how to face her mother, who is her aunt by relation.
Just as I was about to get up, supporting myself on the sofa armrest, my wrist suddenly tightened.
Shen Qingling stood up at some point, his palms warm and dry, gripping her wrist firmly, not with much force but not enough to break free.
Shen Qingling met Luo Liang's gaze calmly, her voice low but clear: "Aunt Luo, Shu Ning will be visiting my home tonight; she is my guest."
"No." Luo Liang refused without hesitation, her tone firm and unyielding: "Shu Ning must come home with me."
"I said, Shu Ning is my guest." Shen Qingling remained unmoved, even slightly turning her body to shield Luo Shu Ning behind her. The mischievousness in her peach blossom eyes was gone, replaced by indifference.
Gu Ximan watched in horror, quietly taking several steps back to protect the three of them, but she couldn't help craning her neck as far as she could.
In my mind, I was screaming—this crazy girl is awesome! Awesome!
They really dare to step up when something happens!
Bringing her into the group of girlfriends was absolutely the right decision!
Luo Liang's gaze instantly turned cold, her narrowed eyes revealing a sharp edge: "Is this how Old Master Shen taught you to treat your elders?"
Shen Qingling, however, seemed oblivious to the underlying meaning. She shrugged with her other hand, quite nonchalantly: "That's right. My parents don't care about me, and my grandfather just lets me grow up without any responsibility. After all, I'm just a girl. The more reckless I am, the happier and more at ease they are, so I won't be taken advantage of."
Upon hearing this, Luo Liang fell silent.
She naturally knew some of the Shen family's inner workings. Old Master Shen seemed to spoil his eldest granddaughter rotten, but in reality...
Ah, that's what big families are like.
The air in the living room froze instantly, and even the ticking of the wall clock became exceptionally clear.
"mom."
Luo Shuning suddenly broke the silence. She gently squeezed the back of Shen Qingling's hand, the warmth of her fingertips a silent comfort: "I have to go to my mother-in-law's house in a bit, that's all for now."
Upon hearing the word "Mom," Luo Liang opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
Shen Qingling then released her hand.
Luo Shuning smiled reassuringly at her, picked up her coat from the sofa, waved to the others, and followed Luo Liang toward the door.
Gu Luo stood still, without saying a word to stop him—he knew Luo Liang's bottom line all too well. Unless he officially made a choice between Luo Shuning and Luo Shuhe, he would never let him spend the night alone with either of them. Trying to persuade him to stay at this moment would only increase the awkwardness and disrupt the balance.
The door clicked shut, cutting off any noise from outside.
Gu Ximan instantly pounced on Shen Qingling like a wild horse, grabbing her waist and saying, "Little crazy girl! I officially acknowledge you! From now on, you're a core member of our sisterhood!"
Shen Qingling stumbled a step when she was tackled, and immediately waved her hand: "Don't hug me so tightly, you're suffocating me."
But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Core members?
very good.
Gu Luo looked at the two women embracing and couldn't help but smile.
But his mind was focused on what Shen Qingling had just said.
He had always wondered why the Shen family would allow Shen Qingling to come to Caizhou.
"Let's keep watching!"
The living room quickly returned to its previous lively atmosphere, but this time, the bond between the sisters had deepened even further.
