Chapter 178: Chapter 178: This Really Puts You at a Disadvantage

"What else do you think we can do?"

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh. If Grandpa had something because of this matter, her conscience would not be at peace.

It’s quite good to just keep things as they are.

In a sense, Qiao Xi was someone who was content with the status quo, as long as she felt comfortable with it.

Su Tutu sighed and patted her shoulder, "My good sister, this is really hard on you."

"It’s not hard at all, I’m not in love right now, and having Shen Dang around can help me block unwanted suitors."

Especially Chu Xiuyun, a rotten suitor like him, needed to be nipped in the bud.

"Tsk."

Su Tutu couldn’t hide the disgust on her face.

Boss Shen had even brought his sister home for the New Year, yet nothing was happening. Was Boss Shen even a man?

She had no words to express her disgust.

Two days later, Qiao Xi received the necklace. She asked Bei Bei to send the item to IDC Capital for Shen Dang to sign for.

Afterwards, she sent a message to Shen Dang.

[Qiao Xi: I bought a New Year’s gift for your mother and sent it to you. Please pass it on to her.]

Qiao Xi didn’t receive a message from Shen Dang, but she did get a call from him.

He called right after she sent the message.

Upon answering, Qiao Xi heard Shen Dang’s indifferent voice, "Why bother sending a gift to Madam Shen all of a sudden?"

Qiao Xi seemed to sigh, "Boss Shen, do you know how much money Grandpa and your parents gave me in red envelopes for the New Year?"

Her tone was slightly shaking.

Shen Dang noticed but didn’t take it seriously.

He casually and carelessly replied, "No matter how much, just accept it. No amount is too much for them."

"I can’t enjoy accepting so much."

"What matters is who is giving it."

"That’s because they don’t know we are already divorced."

"Tsk." Shen Dang sounded somewhat displeased, and his voice cooled significantly, "Making such a clear distinction. Do you want to completely sever ties with the Shen Family?"

Qiao Xi counter-questioned, "What else should I do?"

"Why didn’t you send it directly to her?"

"I’m afraid she won’t accept it. Could you please pass it on for me?"

"Is there a handling fee for helping you pass it on?"

Qiao Xi was momentarily speechless, "Is passing on an item so difficult that it requires a handling fee? Is Boss Shen short on this bit of money?"

"It’s not about the money, I’m missing a gift."

Shen Dang narrowed his eyes, his expression slightly discontent.

His mother gets a gift, and he doesn’t?

Qiao Xi pondered his words for a moment, "So you mean you want me to send you a gift?"

Her tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

"Is it that obvious?"

Qiao Xi heard his lazy, indifferent chuckle.

This man was really something...

Qiao Xi laughed in irritation, "No problem, I will send one, as long as you help me pass on the gift, I’ll send you one too."

Upon hearing this, the discontent in Shen Dang disappeared.

"Then let’s agree on that, send it to me quickly."

"I’ll try my best."

Considering all the help he offered previously, Boss Shen had personally asked her. How could she not grant him this favor?

But what to send Shen Dang, Qiao Xi was really at a loss.

Because of this matter, she went roundabout to probe if Su Tutu usually sent anything to Sheng Chao, what she sent.

According to Su Tutu, aside from sending belts and watches, it was ties, that’s about it.

The belt and tie, according to the internet, carry particular meanings.

Besides, Shen Dang was not one to wear ties often; as far as she could observe, she had not seen him wearing a tie even once.

He truly was an irreverent person.

Moreover, Shen Dang had many watches already, there was no need for her to buy another one for him, right?

This really put Qiao Xi in a tough spot.

After some inner struggles, Qiao Xi still decided to buy him a tie and send it.

Regardless of whatever special meanings it represented... she reckoned Boss Shen probably had no idea about the various special meanings listed on the internet.

Since Shen Dang did not like wearing ties, sending him one would be just right.

Having made up her mind, Qiao Xi chose a brand and ordered a tie online, then had Bei Bei send it to Shen Dang.

[Qiao Xi: The gift has been sent to your company, remember to sign for it.]

[Scumbag: Thanks, ex-wife.]

Qiao Xi: "..."

Calling him a scumbag really was fitting.

After seeing the message, Qiao Xi didn’t reply to him and handed the phone over to Bei Bei before continuing with her shooting.

...

IDC Capital Building.

Shen Dang said to Assistant Gao, who had just finished reporting work, "Pay attention today to see if there’s any courier for me."

Assistant Gao smiled discreetly, "Is it another parcel from the boss’s wife? All right, President Shen, I will let the front desk be aware."

Absolutely wouldn’t delay the boss’s wife’s present from reaching you.

Shen Dang waved his hand dismissively.

Assistant Gao nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait a second."

"Please instruct, President Shen."

Shen Dang was about to say something when he paused, then waved to Assistant Gao, "Never mind, you can go."

Assistant Gao: "..."

Even the boss can’t just play with people like this, right?

But who made him the boss after all.

Assistant Gao watched as his own boss seemed quite pleased, knowing he was in a good mood.

The boss, who usually didn’t show his emotions, also had such days!

Tsk.

But at any rate, when the boss was in a good mood, the days of his subordinates would also be more comfortable.

Shen Dang opened the flight booking app on his phone.

At that moment, Ran Jing called.

Shen Dang answered, "Mom."

"Is this necklace really from Xixi? Son, it’s very expensive, and the necklace isn’t even on the market yet, but Xixi got it."

Ran Jing was especially fond of the gift from Qiao Xi, both luxurious and delicate, suitable for important occasions.

The only feature was its price.

This piece had an official online price of over seven million.

Shen Dang’s eyes drooped, but his lips revealed a hint of a smile, "Could it possibly be fake?"

"Don’t let Xixi send such expensive gifts next time, I won’t accept them," Ran Jing said.

"That’s why she had me pass it on to you. Just accept it."

"Others haven’t gotten this necklace yet, but I already have. I’m going to brag to my best friends tonight," Ran Jing was happy.

"Alright."

"When will Xixi finish filming?"

"I’m not sure."

"You—"

"Alright, mom, I’ve got a lot of work here, I’ll go back to it now."

Shen Dang hung up the phone.

"Damn kid!"

Ran Jing was annoyed and set down her phone to continue admiring the necklace.

Shen Hongxuan watched her, "Like it that much?"

Ran Jing boasted, "Of course, I do. It’s a gift from my daughter-in-law. Oh right, I haven’t told Xixi yet, I’ll send her a message."

Shen Hongxuan shook his head.

Thinking about the news he had heard, Shen Hongxuan wasn’t sure whether to tell Ran Jing.

But seeing her so happy, Shen Hongxuan decided not to say anything.

In the afternoon, just before leaving work, Shen Dang asked again, "Has my courier not arrived yet?"

There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Ah, I’ll ask!"

Just then, Assistant Gao received a call from the front desk.

Without taking a break, he went downstairs to the front desk and picked up Shen Dang’s parcel.

The boss’s wife sent another parcel after a few days; his boss must be overjoyed, right?
