Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"But you're still not as ugly as me!"

Murong Quan didn't even glance at Liang Qianqian, but instead pulled Su Yueke into his arms and held her tightly.

He then warned Liang Qianqian, "Liang Qianqian, if you don't want to become even uglier, you'd better behave yourself!"

Nobody wants that scumbag Shen Yu. If you want him, take him, but... don't you dare bother my girlfriend again!

"Ayu!" A stern shout drew their attention.

Su Yue was trapped in Murong Quan's arms. She turned her head blankly and looked in the direction from which the sound came. She saw Shen Yi holding Shen Yu's arm tightly.

Shen Yu, on the other hand, stared at Su Yueke and Murong Quan with red eyes and an angry expression.

It felt as if something was their private property that had suddenly been stolen by someone else.

Murong Quan noticed Shen Yu's expression and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, tightening his grip on Su Yueke's arm.

"Qianqian, come here!" Cheng Shuxue beckoned to Liang Qianqian.

Feeling wronged and angry, Liang Qianqian ran behind Cheng Shuxue and waited for Murong Quan.

Cheng Shuxue patted Liang Qianqian to comfort her, then looked coldly at Murong: "Young Master Murong, you have quite the air of authority!"

"My girlfriend was walking here peacefully, and someone came up to her and started criticizing her. What's wrong with me saying a few words in her defense?"

Murong Quan looked at Cheng Shuxue with a nonchalant attitude, showing no respect whatsoever: "If I can't even protect my own girlfriend, wouldn't I be a coward?"

"Mrs. Cheng, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu's face paled even more, and he swayed slightly, as if he was about to collapse.

"Ayu!"

Shen Yi supported Shen Yu with heartache, looking at him with worried eyes: "Are you alright?"

Shen Yu just stared intently at Murong Quan, unable to utter a single word.

"Young Master Murong is always sharp-tongued; he can make even the unreasonable seem reasonable!"

Although Cheng Shuxue was angry, she also knew what kind of person Murong Quan was, and she didn't want to provoke him.

So after replying, he pulled Liang Qianqian and tried to leave.

Murong Quan's voice came leisurely from behind them: "Madam Cheng, it's best to keep a close eye on Miss Liang. I only spoke this time, but next time it might be different."

"You dare!" Cheng Shuxue turned her head and glared at Murong Quan.

"Do you think I dare?!" He was not afraid of Cheng Shuxue's threat at all.

"It seems I need to have a serious talk with CEO Murong!" Cheng Shuxue threatened coldly.

"Please make yourself at home!" Murong Quan even gestured for him to proceed.

Liang Qianqian let go of Cheng Shuxue's hand, moved closer to Shen Yu, and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Yu! Look at this Su Yueke!"

She never truly loved you; it hasn't been long since she started dating someone else!

Shen Yu took a step back, preventing her from touching him.

Although Liang Qianqian was a pampered young lady who grew up in luxury, she never got angry when facing Shen Yu, even when she was neglected or disliked.

She continued, "Brother Yu! You have to believe me! Look at how intimately they're hugging each other now, they must have been together for a long time!"

"okay!"

Cheng Shuxue scolded Liang Qianqian: "How old are you? What kind of behavior is this?!"

"Mom!" Liang Qianqian looked at Cheng Shuxue angrily and dissatisfied.

"Ayu!" Shen Yi's voice became stern. She patted Shen Yu again, signaling him to go and coax Liang Qianqian.

Shen Yu stood still.

He glanced at Shen Yi and Shen Qingqing, then at Su Yueke and Murong Quan, and finally just whispered, "I'm sorry."

He then turned and left.

"Brother Yu!" Liang Qianqian wanted to chase after him, but Cheng Shuxue couldn't bear to see her daughter being looked down upon like this, so she held her tightly.

"You're not allowed to go!" Cheng Shuxue glared at Liang Qianqian, looking at her with a disappointed expression.

"Mom!" Liang Qianqian was unhappy, but seeing her mother's firm attitude, she didn't dare to go too far and could only continue to follow her mother's side reluctantly.

Seeing that Murong Quan and the others had already left, Cheng Shuxue pulled Liang Qianqian and said, "Come back with me!"

After she finished speaking, she left with Liang Qianqian without caring about the expressions of the others around her.

"Madam Cheng! Madam Cheng!" Tao Qing hurriedly followed for a few steps, but noticing that she was too angry, she gradually stopped.

"Mrs. Shen!"

Tao Qing turned back to Shen Yi and said, "Have you talked to Young Master Shen yet?! How could he just leave like that?!"

"said."

Shen Yi looked troubled: "But A Yu clearly hasn't let go of that girl yet... I'm afraid..."

"Oh! I'm telling you, Mrs. Shen!"

Tao Qing pointed at Shen Yi and said speechlessly, "Have you thought this through?! Your Shen family is about to collapse! They're just waiting for Madam Cheng's help this time!"

Whether Young Master Shen has let go or not is completely unimportant! All he needs to do is perform well in front of Miss Liang!

Look at the mess we've made! We've angered Mrs. Cheng, and today's plans are ruined!

"Mrs. Tao, you don't need to worry."

Shen Qingqing, who had been hiding behind Shen Yi, spoke up at this moment: "Qianqian and I have a very good relationship. I will try to bring them together."

Shen Yi glanced at Shen Qingqing, wanting to say something, but then she remembered that the Shen family might not be able to wait much longer, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Is the Shen family now forced to sell their son just to survive?!

Tao Qing looked at Shen Qingqing, smiled and nodded, then said to Shen Yi, "No wonder you chose Qingqing even though you knew she wasn't your biological daughter. Qingqing is so thoughtful! I like her too!"

In fact, Tao Qing had no need to bring up the fact that Shen Qingqing was not Shen Yi's biological daughter.

The reason she spoke so frankly and without reservation was that she believed the Shen family chose Shen Qingqing because they valued their own interests.

Moreover, Tao Qing despised the Shen family's choice from the bottom of her heart, so there was nothing she couldn't say.

Shen Qingqing's expression immediately changed.

However, the Shen family was not what it used to be, and it was incomparable to the Tao family. She knew that Tao Qing's words were humiliating, but she could only endure it.

Shen Yi's expression froze for a moment. She looked down at her hands and said, "I...I was..."

"Mom!" Shen Qingqing immediately hugged Shen Yi's arm tightly, looking at her with a nervous expression.

Shen Yi turned her head to look at Shen Qingqing with a slightly stiff expression, her somewhat confused eyes gradually becoming clear.

She explained to Tao Qing, "I chose Qingqing because she is good! It's not for any other reason!"

Tao Qing glanced at Shen Yi and Shen Qingqing and smiled enigmatically, then said, "Alright, alright, I misspoke. I hope Madam Shen won't mind."

After saying that, she couldn't help but think to herself: "They're already relying on selling their sons for resources, what are they still pretending for?!"

Finally, he didn't forget to remind them, "Don't forget what we're here for!"
