"Shen Shiyan, I'm the one you'll marry in the future, and I can only be Mrs. Shen. Didn't you dislike Jiang Susu back then? What, now that she's gone, you've fallen for her again?"
During her university years, she often saw Jiang Susu following behind Shen Shiyan. Wherever Shen Shiyan was, Jiang Susu was there too.
But she also knew that Shen Shiyan didn't like Jiang Susu; he just liked the feeling of Jiang Susu following behind him.
Shen Shiyan showed no mercy to Meng Shuang, saying, "I never liked you in the first place. If it weren't for wanting Su Su to come back to me, I would never have gotten engaged to you. Meng Shuang, please know your place. If I find out that you are making things difficult for Su Su, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
After saying that, Shen Shiyan left.
Meng Shuang stomped her foot in anger, "What's so good about that Jiang Susu? Is she really that worthy of your affection?" She was already engaged to her, but she was still thinking about Jiang Susu.
If you really liked someone that much, why didn't you cherish them more back then?
But she still didn't want to give up. They were already engaged, and she couldn't possibly give up on Shen Shiyan.
Anyway, Jiang Susu is already with Shang Yanxing, so Shen Shiyan is hers now.
Jiang Susu returned to her seat. Shang Yanxing noticed that her expression was a little off and asked with concern, "Did something happen just now? Why did Madam take so long?"
After all, this was Shen Shiyan's engagement banquet, and he was afraid that Shen Shiyan would cause trouble for Jiang Susu.
Jiang Susu did not tell Shang Yanxing about seeing Meng Shuang earlier. "It's nothing. I just tidied up my makeup, which is why it took a little longer."
Shang Yanxing nodded and hummed in agreement.
Not long after Jiang Susu returned to her seat, she saw Meng Shuang walking towards them with a wine glass in her hand.
Jiang Susu subconsciously turned her head away; she sensed that Meng Shuang's arrival was definitely not a good thing.
Meng Shuang walked up to them, picked up her wine glass, and smiled, a completely different person from the one who had just argued with her.
Meng Shuang gave Shang Yanxing a very kind smile, "I am very honored that President Shang could attend our engagement banquet."
Shang Yanxing was a powerful figure in the capital, and being able to invite him made her feel that she still had some status.
Otherwise, Shang Yanxing wouldn't have attended their engagement party.
Although, the woman he married was Jiang Susu.
If it weren't for Shen Shiyan, the person she would have chosen would definitely be Shang Yanxing.
Shang Yanxing's eyes were languid, his gaze fixed on Jiang Susu without ever looking away.
After a long while, he finally raised his eyelids, glanced at Meng Shuang, and said slowly, "I didn't originally want to come; I just came with my wife. If you want to thank someone, thank my wife."
After speaking, his gaze returned to Jiang Susu.
Jiang Susu was somewhat at a loss; she didn't understand why Shang Yanxing was speaking to Meng Shuang like that.
It looks like it's targeting this woman.
Shang Yanxing's words made Meng Shuang feel somewhat embarrassed.
Meng Shuang said sarcastically, "Miss Jiang, you're probably here for more than just the engagement party, you must have another purpose, right?"
Shang Yanxing listened to Meng Shuang's words, but his reaction remained minimal.
Seeing that Shang Yanxing wasn't angry, Meng Shuang continued, "Mr. Shang, you don't know, Miss Jiang has her eye on my fiancé. She wants to steal Brother Shiyan from me. Shouldn't you do something about it, Mr. Shang?"
If she says that, Shang Yanxing will definitely be angry, and then Jiang Susu will be in trouble.
Why did this woman have to try and steal her beloved brother Shiyan from her?
They brought it all on themselves!
Shang Yanxing stood up, frowning as he looked at the heavily made-up woman before him. "Miss Meng, please watch your words. Su Su is my wife. Don't keep calling her 'Miss Jiang,' call her Mrs. Shang. And as for your so-called fiancé, my wife's taste isn't that bad; she wouldn't be interested in someone like that. If you like him, then keep him; no one's going to take him from you." His girl wouldn't even look at such trash.
He didn't want to say such things, but Meng Shuang's words really angered him.
You can bully him, but he absolutely cannot tolerate girls who bully him!
"You... President Shang is a prominent figure in Beijing, isn't it inappropriate for you to say something like that?"
She hadn't expected Shang Yanxing to be so protective of Jiang Susu.
"Not appropriate? Then is it appropriate for you to say such nasty things and insult my wife?"
Jiang Susu tugged at Shang Yanxing's sleeve, signaling them to stop arguing.
After all, this is someone else's engagement party, and it's not appropriate for them to make such a scene.
Meng Shuang opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she heard Shen Shiyan's voice, "Shuang'er."
Meng Shuang turned around and saw Shen Shiyan walking towards her.
Shen Shiyan walked to Meng Shuang's side.
Those dark eyes looked at Meng Shuang and said, "Shuang'er, didn't I tell you to come with me to toast the guests? Why did you come here alone?"
Meng Shuang smiled and said, "I just wanted to toast President Shang. Shouldn't I do my best to be a good host after inviting President Shang to our engagement banquet?"
Meng Shuang knew that Shen Shiyan would protect Jiang Susu, so she didn't dare to tell anyone about how she had just made things difficult for Jiang Susu.
Shen Shiyan was about to speak when Shang Yanxing interrupted him, "Miss Meng keeps saying she welcomes me, but she doesn't seem to care about my wife. When she was making things difficult for Su Su just now, Miss Meng didn't say a word. Mr. Shen, keep an eye on your fiancée and don't mess with the wrong people. If my wife is unhappy, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As long as he's around, no one can bully his girl.
Meng Shuang clenched her fists, looking at Shang Yanxing with a mixture of anger and frustration, but there was nothing she could do.
She looked at Shen Shiyan and explained, "Brother Shiyan, I didn't."
Shen Shiyan's gaze left Meng Shuang and looked at Shang Yanxing. "President Shang, I apologized to you before on behalf of Shuang'er. She was ignorant and I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against her."
After apologizing, Shen Shiyan led Meng Shuang away.
After they left, Shang Yanxing's gaze fell on Jiang Susu. Seeing her obedient appearance, he thought she was frightened and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Madam. With me here, no one can bully you."
Jiang Susu snapped out of her daze, looked at Shang Yanxing, and said, "This is, after all, their engagement banquet. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to warn them like this?"
Moreover, Shang Yanxing's decisive and efficient demeanor just now was something she had never seen before.
"How could I stand idly by while they dared to bully you like this, Madam? But why didn't you tell me that woman had made things difficult for you just now?"
If Meng Shuang hadn't told him herself, he probably still wouldn't know.
"She didn't make things too difficult for me, did she? She just thought I still liked Shen Shiyan. Girls are like that, it's normal to feel insecure."
