Chapter 1214 - 1163: So-Called Husband and Wife (Part 3)
At a time like this, even if that idle good-for-nothing dad of yours wants to give you shares, do you think the other shareholders will agree? You think shares are like Chinese cabbage, just hand them out as you please? Tsk tsk, what a joke!"
As she spoke, Wang Zhuoya burst out laughing again.
Shi Jiaojiao was furious. She raised her hand, about to slap Wang Zhuoya, but her wrist was caught in one swift grab.
Wang Zhuoya gave her a hard shove. Shi Jiaojiao lost her balance, and if her girlfriends behind her hadn’t caught her, she would’ve fallen flat on the floor!
Wang Zhuoya stared coldly at Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Let me tell you something, Shi Jiaojiao. Other people might be scared of you, but I’m not. You know exactly what kind of trash you are. Some rich young lady, huh? Please. Everyone knows your mom used to be a social butterfly. You call me a nouveau riche’s daughter—like you’re any classier than me? So I’m warning you, stop putting on that ’Miss High-and-Mighty’ attitude in front of me. It makes me sick. Really. Disgusts me to no end."
After saying that, Wang Zhuoya lifted her chin and walked right past Shi Jiaojiao without even looking at her.
As she passed, she deliberately bumped into Shi Jiaojiao. Shi Jiaojiao wanted to explode, but her girlfriends held her back.
Her girlfriends knew Shi Jiaojiao had stirred up trouble recently, so they told her to swallow it for now.
Shi Jiaojiao glared after Wang Zhuoya’s receding back, teeth grinding in rage. Honestly, if she could, she’d rush up and give that woman two hard slaps.
But she also knew she couldn’t make any more trouble right now, or the shares really might go up in smoke!
To be honest, Shi Jiaojiao never felt that offending that employee from TK Group was a big deal. What truly scared her was that she’d crossed Shi Nuan, and crossed Song Yansheng...
These past two days Father’s attitude toward her had been terrible. He couldn’t even be bothered to say half a word to her!
And she’d realized that Song Yansheng really seemed to be quite invested in Shi Nuan. She seriously didn’t understand what was going on in his head.
She’s just a lover. It’s been more than four months and he’s still not sick of her? Is he planning to keep her and marry her as his legitimate wife someday?
But as soon as she thought that, she told herself that was impossible!
It’s not that Shi Nuan’s status doesn’t match Song Yansheng’s. It’s just that Shi Nuan was once engaged to Song Yichuan—that’s something everyone in City T knows.
The Song Family is a century-old noble house and cares a lot about its reputation. Even if Song Yansheng wants to marry Shi Nuan, Mother of Song Yansheng and the rest of the Song Family would never agree!
The nephew’s ex-fiancée becoming the uncle’s wife? That’s pure fantasy!
Thinking along those lines, her mood eased a little.
Right now she can’t outplay Shi Nuan, and Father is siding with Shi Nuan because Song Yansheng isn’t tired of her yet.
Once he’s had his fill and Shi Nuan falls out of favor, she believes everything will change, and that ten percent of the shares will end up in her hands sooner or later.
For now, what she needs to do is endure. Endure, and endure some more!
...
Shi Jiaojiao had no idea that everything that had just happened between her and Wang Zhuoya had been witnessed by two people.
Those two were sitting in a booth on the second floor of the bar.
And they weren’t strangers—one was Chu Jingyun, and the other was Ji Xiangling.
It was Ji Xiangling who had asked Chu Jingyun out. Recently something had happened to Shi Nuan, and the fact that Song Yansheng had been at the hospital with her the whole time had left Ji Xiangling more than a little depressed when she found out.
But she felt she shouldn’t be the only one stewing; she needed someone to suffer with her, so she asked Chu Jingyun out.
Sure enough, when Chu Jingyun heard about it, her face immediately turned dark. Ji Xiangling didn’t try to comfort her at all, and somehow, it felt like half of the knot in her own chest had loosened.
She suddenly felt much lighter.
But neither of them expected to run into Shi Jiaojiao, let alone personally witness Shi Jiaojiao getting into a fight with someone.
Watching Shi Jiaojiao downstairs with that ugly expression on her face, Ji Xiangling arched a brow and asked Chu Jingyun, "What do you think, could we maybe use this girl?"
Chu Jingyun glanced at Shi Jiaojiao and shook her head. "No. She’s not smart enough."
Ji Xiangling, however, laughed and said, "But don’t you think, precisely because she’s not smart, she can create trouble for people?"
Chu Jingyun narrowed her eyes, not quite getting what she meant.
Ji Xiangling said, "You know as well as I do that because of the Shi Family shareholders’ meeting these last few days, the public opinion outside about this Miss Shi is awful. In contrast, Shi Nuan’s been praised by quite a few media outlets. With Shi Jiaojiao’s temperament, you think she can take that? Don’t be fooled by how tolerant she looks right now—if someone fans the flames behind her, the kind of mess she can stir up will be huge."
Chu Jingyun’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Ji Xiangling and asked, "So...what exactly do you have in mind?"
