Chapter 635 Does a Fool Have Good Fortune? The clock in the living room ticked away, each tick like a blow to a taut nerve.
Luo Liang stared at Luo Shuhe's stubborn face, the sharp light in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a barely perceptible sadness.
Thinking about the debts he had owed his three daughters over the years, the thought of retreating crept into his heart like warm water seeping over a stone.
It's clear they want to take a step back and do things according to Gu Feng's method.
Shen Qingling, who had been quietly observing the situation, keenly noticed this.
"cough."
Gu Feng cleared his throat at the opportune moment, just as he was about to speak to smooth things over, when a figure suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Shen Qingling quickly walked to Luo Shuhe's side, shielding her behind her. Her sleeve fluttered as she moved, revealing a slender wrist.
She raised her chin to look at Luo Liang, her eyebrows arched, her tone as cold as the chilly wind just brought in from outside:
"Aunt Luo, haven't you gone too far tonight?"
Luo Shuhe was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tried to pull her away, but Shen Qingling gently pressed her back against him.
Shen Qingling completely ignored the commotion behind her, her gaze fixed on Luo Liang:
"Do you really have to force Shuhe to go home? Let me tell you this: Shuhe is my best friend now. I couldn't protect Shuning last time, and this time I absolutely cannot let you take her away—you can't take her away, I'm telling you."
The girl's voice was firm and resolute; her expression was one of complete protection, but inside she was overjoyed.
Don't stop! We should keep fighting!
The more intense the conflict, the better; ideally, it should leave both of them completely humiliated.
Until the conflict exploded.
As expected, Luo Liang's previously dim eyes instantly darkened, like a deep pool filled with the chill of a stone thrown in—
She had wanted to back down, but Shen Qingling's attitude of not giving her any way out made her, as the elder, seem aggressive.
If he really retires, wouldn't that mean he's afraid of a junior?
Luo Liang changed her posture, leaning forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees, and placing her hands folded between her legs.
She sized Shen Qingling up and down, her gaze sharp and calculating, sweeping from the girl's tousled hair to the tips of her slippers, her tone utterly cold:
"I'm curious, how did you become 'best friends' with Shu He and Shu Ning?"
"Isn't that simple?"
Shen Qingling lied through her teeth, a sly smile playing on her lips: "I like Gu Luo, and they like him too. How can this not be considered a case of loving someone because of their loved ones?"
She paused, took half a step forward, and spoke in a low but clear voice:
“Aunt Luo, forgive my bluntness, but you’re just too old-fashioned. Young people’s relationships should be resolved by us. Your interference will only backfire, won’t it?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Liang's expression turned completely cold.
Gu Feng was anxious to interject, but Luo Liang stopped him with a sharp look.
Gu Ximan, watching from behind Gu Luo, was terrified. She thought to herself, "This little crazy girl really lives up to her name. She's really going all out when something happens."
They are not afraid of Luo Liang at all.
Clearly, this silly boy hadn't seen through Shen Qingling's intentions at all, and only thought that she was genuinely standing up for Luo Shuhe.
The conflict was like a lit fuse, about to explode.
Luo Shuhe let out a soft breath, her expression somewhat helpless.
She raised her hand and gently patted Shen Qingling's shoulder, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable strength:
"Qingling, thank you, but that's fine then."
Shen Qingling turned around and met Luo Shuhe's deep gaze—there was no gratitude in her eyes, only a trace of helplessness, which meant that Luo Shuhe had seen through her little scheme.
Before she could react, Luo Shuhe had already stepped out from behind her, looked at Luo Liang, and said softly:
"Okay, I'm going home."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the anger that was about to erupt.
