Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 480: Old Qian’s Confidence

“Bro, don’t worry.” Even if Ye Ling did not say it, he knew that Ye Ling meant Tong Hua. There was no need to worry about Shen Qianshu since she knew what to do. The only one that they had to care about was the defenseless Tong Hua.

“Qianshu, you have stolen the show!” Chen Wanwan said worryingly. “The hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out! You might have caused yourself some trouble! The Ye Family is full of deep water.”

“I know.”

“You don’t!” Chen Wanwan said. “The Ye Family is very complicated. Even thought Guanjun was far from the main family, he still can’t escape from the Ye Family’s control. You need to be very stable and firm for a family like theirs. Ye Ling alone is not enough. Look at the old lady. You know that when she was younger, she was so tough and firm. The main lady of the Ye Family has to make sure she knows how to properly manage and maintain the family no matter what happens to Ye Ling.”

From what she knew, Lu Mengxi had been raised that way since she was young. She may look like just an appraiser, but deep down, she definitely was not just so.

Shen Qianshu was a little afraid now. Chen Wanwan said, “Look, so many popular people of high status are gathered here today. Half of them are from the Ye Family. They are either from the main families or side branches of this big family tree. Things are not as simple as you think they are. If you are going to be with Ye Ling, you have to be extra careful.”

“Sister Wanwan, I thought that you would ask me to leave Ye Ling.”

“Who am I to say that? How could I persuade you to leave Ye Ling? I’m not a member of your family, and neither am I your elder. I am just your friend. I will only support your decisions. I just thought that I had to let you know what you’re up for.” Chen Wanwan smiled. If it were not for Ye Guanjun’s sincerity back then, she would not have married him.

“Sister Wanwan, don’t worry. I know my limits,” Shen Qianshu said softly. “Things are complicated between Ye Ling and me, and we will take one step at a time. I don’t have any long-term plans yet, but I know... he won’t leave me.”

So, I also want to work hard to become a woman who can stand by his side.

This isn’t self-consciousness but self-confidence!

Chen Wanwan raised her brows and did not speak much anymore. Meanwhile, Shen Qianshu had been feeling a sharp glare that had been fixated on her for very long. She frowned slightly and was too lazy to bother about it. There were many people at the dinner, and there were many people who disliked her here anyway.

She had blocked the path of others, so she would naturally have gotten some hate and envy.

Lu Mengxi approached them smilingly, and she waved at Chen Wanwan warmly. “Sister Wanwan, I would like to speak to Qianshu.”

“Sure!”

Chen Wanwan left with smiles, and Lu Mengxi smiled at Shen Qianshu. “How’s your break? Haven’t seen you around in the office for so long.”

“Pretty good,” Shen Qianshu said and smiled. “I’m returning to work tomorrow. We’ll see each other often soon.”

Their boss was a good boss. They knew that Shen Qianshu would face a lot of bad-mouthing from the outside world, so they gave her paid leave. For this half of the year, she had indeed gone on a lot of breaks. However, the good thing was that she had the talent and capabilities. She also knew how to manage people well, so it did not affect her work.

Lu Mengxi smiled at her and said, “Miss Shen, you’ve lied to me. There aren’t many people who can do that.”

“Uhh, how have I lied to you?” Shen Qianshu looked innocent. She gave a pure and cute smile. “You may not understand me. I am always honest, and I treat people sincerely. I rarely lie. You say that I’ve lied to you. How so?”

Lu Mengxi smiled. Right, how had Shen Qianshu lied to her?

She was the one who had judged wrong.

When there were rumors about Shen Qianshu with Ye Yifan and Li Zhiyuan, she thought that the man behind her was either one of them. At the jewelry design competition, Ye Yifan’s behavior was so obvious too.
