The Mysterious Rich Man Is My Husband

This was exactly what Shen Liuchun wanted. She looked at Shi Qianduo gently and said, “Aunty believes you. Your sister must have had a misunderstanding about the necklace.”

“Mother!” Shen Kaiqi cried even harder. “Ever since we were young, no matter how much grievances my sister and I suffered, you always told us to bear with it and not tell dad. Are we not dad’s daughters? You’re even protective of Shi Qianduo, but my sister and I are your biological daughters. How much more do we have to suffer?”

“You shut up.” Shen Liuchun said while shedding tears of grievance.

Then, the mother-daughter pair hugged each other and cried.

Shi Qianduo merely looked at them. Their tactic of retreating to advance was really a tried-and-tested one. Ever since she was young, Shen Liuchun was the best at putting on a front. She would let Shi Qianduo the good things first, then let Shen Kaiqi and Shen Yuxue choose after her. Then, when Shi Boyong found out and felt uncomfortable, he would buy better things for the three of them. In fact, she was the insensible one who bullied others.

There had been too many of such incidents. At the time, Shi Qianduo actually thought that Shen Liuchun was taking care of her. In the end, she suffered a loss and was completely excluded from this family. Only then did she understand Shen Liuchun’s honeyed sword that was her mouth. However, Shi Boyong did not understand, or rather, he did not want to understand. In his heart, Shen Liuchun was his first love when he was young. She was the start of everything, his true lover.

As expected, when he saw Shen Liuchun and her daughter crying, Shi Boyong wanted to comfort them. However, he stopped in his tracks because of Shi Qianduo’s presence and sighed, “Look at you guys. It’s just a necklace. I’ll buy Kaiqi another one tomorrow.”

At this moment, Shi Qianduo had already turned around and took out a heavy jewelry box. She pursed her lips, her eyes red, and her voice choked, “Aunty Shen, this is the necklace my mom bought for my dad when they got married. She left it to me. If sister likes it, I can give it to her, but I really didn’t steal anything from her… Also, I’m sorry, it’s all my mom’s fault. She used her family background to separate you and my dad… I didn’t know that Aunty Shen’s concern for me made sister feel uncomfortable, but since I’m only making you feel bad by staying in this house, I had better leave.”

After she finished speaking, Shi Qianduo put down the jewelry box, wiped her tears, and ran out of the room. However, Shi Qianduo did not go far this time. She sat in the garden that her mother was taking care of.

This was her mother and her own home. The place where she was born and grew up. She would never give it up to anyone.

“Miss, Sir said it’s cold outside and asked you to go back to your room soon.” Mama Song followed him out.

Shi Qianduo nodded her head. She knew that this was Shi Boyong’s compromise. The first night of returning to the Shi family finally passed without any mishaps.

The next morning, Shen Yuxue was back. She walked in with a bowl of white fungus soup. Compared to Shen Kaiqi, she did not have the kind of delicate beauty, but she was dignified and elegant. She had a Buddha’s face and a snake’s heart. This described her perfectly.

“Mom made this for you this morning,” Shen Yuxue said with a warm smile.

“Please thank Aunty for me. I’ve troubled her again.” Shi Qianduo said politely, and her attitude was calm.

Shen Yuxue did not get angry and said earnestly, “I already heard about what happened yesterday. Kaiqi really went overboard this time, but don’t worry, mom and I have already taught her a lesson. Don’t be angry. After all, we are a family. If we make things difficult for each other, we will only be a joke to outsiders.”

She looked at Shi Qianduo’s lowered face and continued to talk about their childhood. She said how difficult it was for Shen Liuchun to raise two children alone. She also said that Shen Kaiqi’s health had been poor since she was young and was understandably delicate. Finally, she said that she liked her little sister, Shi Qianduo, but she was stuck in the middle and was in a dilemma. As she spoke, she even shed a few drops of tears.

Shi Qianduo’s heart ached when she heard that. So, for Shen Yuxue’s sake, she had to speak less so that she would feel less disgusted. Of course, she would be magnanimous and forgive her!

“By the way, the filming for ‘Sea Demon Princess’ is about to begin. You should be joining the crew by now, right?” Shen Yuxue asked with concern.

Shi Qianduo nodded.

“I’ve already talked to uncle. Sign a contract with Star Media before you join the crew. That way, the company will be able to arrange a manager and assistant for you. There are many petty matters in the entertainment industry. You’re a newcomer, so it’s inevitable that you’ll get into trouble if you join the crew alone.” Shen Yuxue was like a caring big sister. She was attentive and thoughtful. “Sister Gong Lan is the best manager in the company. How about you use her as your manager?”

Shi Qianduo smiled shyly, “Thank you, big sister.”

Shen Yuxue thought that Shi Qianduo had agreed, so she left with a face full of joy.

However, Shi Qianduo did not agree to her request. She had been drinking the white fungus soup.
