Chapter 697: Entangled with Men Other Than Her Husband
"Of course, if you think it’s too low, sis, I can call Song Yansheng right now, and you can ask him directly?"
Asking Song Yansheng, Shi Jiaojiao didn’t have the guts to do that.
Besides, Shi Nuan said that the amount was checked by Song Yansheng for her.
This made her a little uneasy, as Song Yansheng was a man she couldn’t afford to offend, at least not at the moment.
She steadied her nerves and said, "We both have the surname Shi, I don’t want to fall out with you over money matters, but since we are sisters, meeting up just to give back the money and leaving seems a bit cold, don’t you think?"
Does that mean she wants to chat with Shi Nuan?
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, chatting with Shi Jiaojiao was not a big deal, but it was Shen Zui she was wary of.
If Shen Zui wanted to reach her through Shi Jiaojiao, she indeed needed to be cautious when talking to Shi Jiaojiao.
But He Meisui only saw the two of them having a meal together; she didn’t want to think too darkly about Shen Zui. She hoped Shen Zui wouldn’t do anything foolish.
Song Yansheng was very gentle, and in her heart, he was also a good man who was hard to resist.
But towards outsiders, especially Shen Zui, he absolutely wouldn’t be lenient.
She wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters.
Just then a waiter came in, asking if they needed anything; Shi Jiaojiao ordered two cups of coffee, and Shi Nuan didn’t stop her.
She tacitly agreed.
Before the waiter left, Shi Jiaojiao had her pick up the three envelopes from the floor and placed them on the table.
The waiter didn’t know what was going on, but the envelopes felt like money to the touch.
Of course, this was a matter between the guests. She was curious but didn’t dare to ask more, so she quietly exited.
Shi Nuan sat down opposite Shi Jiaojiao.
Very soon, the waiter brought up the coffee and left the small private room.
Shi Jiaojiao took a sip of coffee to calm her nerves and said, "Actually, Shi Nuan, the grudge between us isn’t that deep. Ever since I moved to the Shi Family, though there have been constant conflicts, a little friction between sisters is normal. If there’s any real grudge, it would probably be due to Shen Zui!"
Shi Nuan’s eyebrows flickered slightly, but she said nothing.
No grudge?
When Shi Jiaojiao and her mother Li Guirong moved into the Shi Family, they took away her father, took her place as Miss Shi Family, and took everything that should have been hers.
On the contrary, regarding Shen Zui, it was completely unexpected.
Because when she was with Shen Zui, she didn’t know Shi Jiaojiao also liked Shen Zui.
The so-called "taking" didn’t exist at all.
But when Shi Jiaojiao confronted her, she indeed said some hurtful things just to anger Shi Jiaojiao.
Shi Jiaojiao took so much from her, and she unwittingly took Shi Jiaojiao’s love, what a perfect revenge.
She wasn’t inherently kind, especially towards Shi Jiaojiao and her mother; kindness wasn’t necessary.
Shi Jiaojiao continued, "Honestly, over the years, I’ve come to terms with it. Although you were with Shen Zui, you eventually broke up. Now, you’re entangled with Song Yansheng, and even if Shen Zui still cares for you, so what? You can’t be together anymore. But I’ve consistently liked Shen Zui, and I believe that as long as I’m sincere and put in the effort, Shen Zui will eventually see my worth, realize I’m the one he should love, and one day, we’ll be together..."
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, disinterested in hearing what Shi Jiaojiao had to say.
She was already married to Song Yansheng; being tangled up in matters with another man wasn’t right to begin with.
She directly asked, "What is it you intend to say? Just say it directly!"
