Chapter 377: Entering Shengshi (7)
Mrs. Sheng smiled slightly, concealing all emotions in her eyes: "Yaoyao, do you know how I ended up marrying Jianan’s father?"
Shen Yao didn’t nod, feeling a bit awkward. She certainly knew, considering the Sheng Family and Shen Family had a good relationship, but that past wasn’t something to be proud of, so she naturally didn’t want to mention it.
"Yaoyao, let me ask you, do you like Jianan?"
Shen Yao blushed slightly, nodding shyly.
"That’s it, as long as you listen to me, the position of Young Madam Sheng will certainly be yours. As for Tang Yanqi, what is she? Let me be frank with you, Tang Yanqi is not even the real daughter of the Tang Family."
"What?"
Mrs. Sheng leisurely took a sip of tea, a cold smile on her lips: "Yaoyao, back then I managed to snatch Jianan’s father from that woman, and as long as you obey me, I can make your dream come true too."
Shen Yao looked at Mrs. Sheng, feeling a bit cold inside, yet vaguely excited.
The Shen Family is a large clan, and since her parents passed away, her status in the Shen Family had fallen dramatically. Although Shen Rui’an cared for her and treated her like his own daughter, it was ultimately different.
When Shen Rui’an was busy, others in the Shen Family didn’t hesitate to bully her, but if she could marry Sheng Jianan, things would change completely.
Looking across the Shen Family, even the most powerful Shen Jiyan has to show respect in front of the Sheng Family.
Shen Yao clenched her fist: "Aunt, I’ll listen to you. Can I ask boldly, is it because of Miss Tang’s background that you... dislike her?"
A cold glint flashed in Mrs. Sheng’s eyes amid the mist of tea steam, her voice chilly: "I get to choose my daughter-in-law, anyone from the Tang Family is a definite no."

Sheng Jianan didn’t take Tang Yanqi directly back to the villa but instead went to a private restaurant, under the guise of celebrating her first day at work.
Halfway through the meal, Sheng Jianan’s phone rang, and Tang Yanqi didn’t know who was on the other end, only hearing Sheng Jianan say: "Hmm, let me ask her."
Tang Yanqi looked up, seeing Sheng Jianan asking her, "Do you want to play billiards?"
"I don’t know how."
Sheng Jianan smirked and spoke to the person on the phone: "We’ll go over in a bit."
After hanging up, Tang Yanqi put down her chopsticks, looking at him speechlessly: "I really don’t know how."
"It’s okay, I’ll teach you."
"..."
Tang Yanqi lowered her head to continue eating, suddenly hearing a soft voice above her: "Does learning something you don’t know earn you extra points?"
"What?"
Looking up, Young Master Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a playful smile on his face as he looked at her.
Tang Yanqi furrowed her brow, what’s he talking about?
"What do you mean?"
The person across said nothing, only giving her a "you know" look. Miss Tang was even more confused, she truly didn’t understand.
Leaving the restaurant, the sky was already completely dark outside. The night seemed to be changing, the wind was quite strong, and Tang Yanqi’s clothing appeared somewhat thin in the evening breeze.
With her arms hugging her elbows, after taking only a few steps, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder, a familiar scent enveloping her.
Sheng Jianan had somehow shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over her.
Looking at the man standing in the night wearing only a shirt, Tang Yanqi silently took off the jacket: "I’m not cold, you wear it."
Sheng Jianan gave her a sideways glance, lazily tossing out two words: "Liar."
