Shen Mingzhu was very surprised to see Zhuang Xueqi holding the child and teasing him.

We haven't seen each other since Zhuang Xueqi went to Hong Kong to give birth last year.

"I came back a few days ago."

Zhuang Xueqi responded to her casually and continued to tease the baby in her arms.

The once spoiled and bright eldest daughter now has a more maternal and gentle look on her face.

At Zhong Qing's request, Shen Mingzhu handed the things she brought to the nanny, and then sat down beside the bed and chatted with Zhong Qing.

Shen Mingzhu sat for a while, and then Zhuang Xueqi handed the child back to the confinement nanny and took out two invitations from her bag.

One was given to Zhong Qing and the other was handed to Shen Mingzhu.

"My child's first birthday party is next month. I'll bring him here to play when I have time."

Shen Mingzhu promised, "Okay, Mrs. Ning, I will definitely be there."

After Zhuang Xueqi left.

Shen Mingzhu opened the exquisite gold-embossed invitation and her eyelids jumped when she saw the date on it.

"It's over!"

Zhong Qing was watching the two children. When she heard the exclamation, she looked over and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"I have an appointment on the 5th. I promised the mayor that I would go to watch the town junior high school's school anniversary performance, and we have some things to discuss then. If I cancel the first birthday party, will Mrs. Ning think I am ungrateful?"

The Ning family sent an invitation to a small boss like her, which really shows that they think highly of her.

It was rare to see her looking so bitter, Zhong Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"That's easy. Just say you're sick and don't want to infect the child."

This is a good excuse, but Shen Mingzhu doesn't want to.

She was already acting unkindly by selling the brand-name bag given to her by Zhuang Xueqi.

It's rare that Zhuang Xueqi doesn't care.

Everything can be done once but not twice, and she doesn't want to ruin this trust and friendship.

"I'd better tell the truth."

Knowing her decision, Zhong Qing showed appreciation in her eyes, "Don't worry, I will help you put in a good word, Xueqi is not a petty person."

"Qingqing, you're the best! How could I be so lucky to have such a beautiful, gentle and kind friend like you."

Looking at Shen Mingzhu who was holding her arm and flattering her, Zhong Qing raised her hand and patted her forehead lovingly.

"Don't worry, I will help you even if you don't flatter me."

"hey-hey."

Two days later.

Shen Mingzhu brought gifts and went to visit the Ning family.

I don’t know if it’s because of the two more children, but the Ning family obviously has a lot more servants, and there are groups of servants wherever they go.

"Mrs. Ning."

Zhuang Xueqi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the nanny playing with two children on the crawling mat. When she saw her coming, she casually asked her to sit down.

"Sit down."

Shen Mingzhu put the things in her hand on the coffee table. "I made some whole grain teething sticks and cheese candies. They are all scientific formulas with low sugar, low oil and low salt. They are just right for children around one year old."

Zhuang Xueqi signaled to the nanny to put the things away.

"Just tell the babysitter what you want to drink."

Shen Mingzhu ordered a glass of lemonade and then turned her eyes to the twins, a boy and a girl, on the crawling mat.

Maybe it’s because of in vitro fertilization, the two children don’t look alike, but you can see the shadows of Zhuang Xueqi and Ning Yuan in them.

Shen Mingzhu picked up the nice words to praise the two children and took out the red envelopes prepared for the two children.

Facing Zhuang Xueqi's puzzled look, Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said that she could not attend the first birthday party next month.

After listening to this, Zhuang Xueqi didn't say anything, just looked at her with her arms folded.

"Mrs. Ning, are you angry?"

"What do you think?"

Zhuang Xueqi took a sip from the teacup in front of her and said sarcastically, "A total of 300 invitations were sent out for this anniversary party, and you are the only one who refused to attend."

Zhuang Xueqi put down the cup and said, "I am very curious about what kind of benefit a cultural performance in a small town can bring you that would make you refuse the Ning family's banquet."

Shen Mingzhu thought about it and replied seriously: "The advantage is that I can maintain my reputation of keeping my word."

"No more?"

"Um."

Zhuang Xueqi sneered, "Okay, I don't like to force people. If you don't want to come, forget it. Is there anything else?"

Shen Mingzhu pretended not to realize the other party's intention to send her away, and stood up and placed two red envelopes and a pair of gold locks in front of Zhuang Xueqi.

"This is a little gift from me to the children. Although the gift is small, it carries my full blessings. I hope they are healthy, safe and happy."

Zhuang Xueqi glanced at the things and said lazily, "That's thoughtful."

Seeing that Zhuang Xueqi's anger had subsided a little, Shen Mingzhu took out another "magic weapon" and said, "Mrs. Ning, this is the income of your fund in the past two years. Although it is not much, it is enough to give pocket money to the children."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Zhuang Xueqi took the report and looked through it with a sneer, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."

This is the power of a rich woman. She simply forgets about the 200,000 yuan.

She could remember exactly where the twenty dollars had been lost.

Shen Mingzhu is well aware that one should not put all eggs in one basket, so she made different plans for the money.

Part of the funds were used to buy gold futures. Although the international gold price fell from last year to the first half of this year, it slowly rose back in the second half of the year and has been profitable so far.

In addition to gold futures, Shen Mingzhu also bought shops and commercial buildings.

In addition to the added value brought by the property itself, the annual rental income is also considerable.

In addition, Shen Mingzhu also invested in two taxis.

All in all, Zhuang Xueqi's total return on the 250,000 yuan fund reached 30%.

Zhuang Xueqi closed the report, looked Shen Mingzhu up and down with fox-like eyes, and snorted: "I didn't expect you to have such good vision in investment."

"It's just luck. I also have to thank Mrs. Ning for her trust in me."

Zhuang Xueqi snorted and laughed, but her mood was obviously much better.

"Please sit down for a while."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Shen Mingzhu naturally didn't want to ask the other person what he was going to do. What if he was going to take a shit? That would be so embarrassing.

She walked to the crawling mat and found something to do, entertaining the two children while chatting with the nanny about the children's situation.

However, the information she asked were not private, such as weight, how many teeth the baby had grown, and whether the baby had started to learn to walk.

After about ten minutes, Zhuang Xueqi returned to the living room.

He gave her a check first and said, "You can continue to use this money to invest for me."

When Shen Mingzhu saw the amount on the check, her breath was taken away.

"Mrs. Ning, any investment is risky. I think..."

"If you lose, you don't have to pay. If you make money, 20% of the profit will be your commission."

Shen Mingzhu quickly put the check away, "...I think there is no problem."

Don’t refuse the money that comes to your door.

As if seeing through her money-obsessed mind, Zhuang Xueqi curled her lips with a sneer and handed the big paper bag in her hand to her.

Shen Mingzhu recognized the Ma family's logo printed on the paper bag at a glance.

"I bought this before, but now I don't like it anymore. You can think of it as a gift."

Shen Mingzhu rubbed her hands and said, "How can I feel embarrassed about that?"

Zhuang Xueqi pulled her wrist, hung the bag on it, and said with a fake smile: "If you dare to sell it again, I'll make you pay."

"No, absolutely not, I swear on my beauty!"

Shen Mingzhu raised her finger.

Everyone in the living room was amused.

This scene was also seen by Ning Yuan and Yan Yi who happened to be returning home. (End of this chapter)
