Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Have a Child

Ran Jing looked at the young and beautiful girl beside her, speaking with uncommon seriousness, "Xixi, you are my only daughter-in-law. I know in the past two years, you and Ah Dang have been busy with your own things, but now that Ah Dang has returned to the country, I really hope you can live a good life together. If anyone tries to break your relationship, I’ll be the first to disagree!"

Qiao Xi: "..."

The problem was that she and Shen Dang both wanted to divorce.

Qiao Xi felt that sometimes people should still maintain a proper distance and not get too close, because once a relationship is torn, no one can ignore the pain that comes with it.

Just like how good Ran Jing had been to her, could she still act the same if one day she found out that she and Shen Dang had deceived her?

No.

Human relationships are fragile.

Fragile enough to deteriorate and shatter under strain.

Qiao Xi slightly narrowed her eyes, hiding the emotions within, "Mom, Shen Dang and I are doing quite well right now."

Ran Jing smiled, "Your grandfather is also getting older, his health is not good, and his greatest wish is to see you have a child."

Qiao Xi’s face immediately stiffened, her smile forced.

Ran Jing comforted her, "Of course, I’m not saying you should immediately have one, this is something the two of you should discuss as husband and wife."

Qiao Xi looked up, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips, "Mmm."

Inside the jewelry store, Ran Jing picked out a jade bracelet and a pair of jade earrings for her, which Qiao Xi couldn’t refuse.

Close to noon, they had lunch inside the mall.

After the meal, Ran Jing offered to drive her to the airport, but Qiao Xi politely declined.

Ran Jing instructed, "Xixi, take good care of yourself when you’re outside."

As the car merged into the congested traffic, Ran Jing’s face suddenly darkened.

Could it be that girl from the Qu Family wants to ruin Ah Dang and Xixi’s relationship?

Ran Jing called Mrs. Qu, not bothering to maintain the facade between the wealthy families, "Mrs. Qu, I didn’t know Miss Qu was actually looking forward to Ah Dang’s divorce, so she could take her chance, is that it?"

Ha, impossible!

A barrage of accusations, and Mrs. Qu’s face turned rather ugly, yet she couldn’t erupt, "Ah Jing, what are you talking about? What’s wrong with our Keke?" She still didn’t know what had happened.

Ran Jing recounted the day’s events, huffing with displeasure, "No matter what happens between Ah Dang and Xixi, Miss Qu will never marry into the Shen Family!"

What nonsense!

She had thought that girl was quite sensible, a bit spoiled as a wealthy young mistress, but that’s acceptable. However, lording over Qiao Xi not just once, right in front of her?

Qiao Xi was the granddaughter-in-law endorsed by the old master; was this meant to enrage him?

Mrs. Qu hadn’t even had a chance to explain before the call was abruptly ended, leaving her simmering with rage. She tried calling Keke but received no answer, which irked her even further. Then she called Jiashu, "Where is your sister?"

Jiashu frowned, "I don’t know, what trouble has she caused now?"

The Qu Family living in the shadow of the Shen Family, Qu Keke had always been headstrong, often causing trouble, with Jiashu frequently cleaning up after her.

"She actually suggested Qiao Xi break up with Shen Dang. Where does she get the gall, and Madam Shen heard it, saying I failed in raising my daughter!"

As a proud matriarch herself, basking in glory for so many years, now losing face completely!

Although she also wanted Keke to marry into the Shen Family, not by such a ridiculously stupid method.

Jiashu’s eyes chilled, "Quite the gall she has, thinking the whole world belongs to her. She indeed needs to be disciplined."

On the way to the airport, Qiao Xi received a message from Jiashu: [Xixi, I apologize on behalf of my good-for-nothing sister. She’s just been spoiled, don’t hold it against her and Ah Dang.]

Qiao Xi actually envied Keke for having such a brother to shield her from any trouble she caused.

[Qiao Xi: No worries, but my mother-in-law really dislikes her now, she’s got no chance.]

He looked at the message, feeling something was off.

His wife was coveted by another, and this was her reaction?

[Jiashu: She’s brain-dead, don’t take the brain-dead seriously.]

Qiao Xi chuckled softly.

[Jiashu: When you and Ah Dang are free, I’d like to treat you both to a meal.]

[Qiao Xi: No need, I’m not bothered by it, and I’m not in Hai City right now.]

Qiao Xi glanced down at the emerald green box with a hidden pattern on the side, hesitated briefly, then transferred the money to Shen Dang.

—All the money Ran Jing spent on her today.

[Shen Dang: ?]

The familiar question mark, simple and direct, with Shen Dang’s personal touch.

Shen Dang had just left a dinner party and saw Qiao Xi’s several transfers when he opened his phone, feeling inexplicably baffled, and tossed a question mark back.

Typing was a hassle, so Qiao Xi sent a voice message, her tone lazy, "I went shopping with your mom today, she bought me some things, I’ll return the money to you."

She couldn’t just accept Madam Shen’s favors for nothing; she and Shen Dang were no longer in that kind of relationship.

She refused to accept charity.

Shen Dang squinted his eyes, a soft mockery dancing in them, "This is something your elder gave you, no need to pay me. If you want to return it, give it directly to my mom, I’m not holding it for you, trying to take advantage of me, eh?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Can’t you talk properly? What does he mean, ’take advantage’?!

"Your mom gave me these gifts because she considers me her daughter-in-law. They’re too valuable, I really can’t accept them."

"Then I won’t hold it for you."

Really so infuriating, but she still had to keep smiling.

"Fine, then I’ll just make a note of it."

She’d settle the account when they divorced.

Seeing that Shen Dang had returned the sums of over a million yuan back to her, Qiao Xi’s brows furrowed, what a nitpicky dog of a man!

Shen Dang was about to close the app, then he caught sight of a photo sent by "Madam Shen."

In the photo, the woman was as ethereal as a fairy and as seductively stunning as a goddess, her delicate eyebrows above those phoenix-like eyes full of charm, seeming to look through the screen at him, carrying an air of high-born grace one could only look up to.

Tsk, sending him this photo, thinking he’d fall for Qiao Xi?

Shen Dang got into the car, and casually made a call, asking languidly, "Did Madam Shen have a good time today?"

"Why such a long time without replying to my messages?" She sounded reproachful.

"Busy, couldn’t help it," Shen Dang unbuttoned his shirt revealing a hint of collarbone while twisting his neck, exuding a sense of playful insouciance, "You went shopping for clothes with your daughter-in-law today?"

"If you don’t take your wife, can’t I step in?"

Shen Dang laughed, "Of course you can."

"Ah Dang, you need to behave yourself."

Shen Dang’s indifferent expression tightened, "What do you mean?"

"There are plenty of young heiresses in Hai City pining for you, but your grandfather only likes Xixi. Don’t mess around."

"Didn’t you see? I’m doing quite well with Qiao Xi."

"You all just use the same words to brush me off."

"..."

Oh, the same words, huh? How coincidental.

Shen Dang’s voice was drenched with indulgence, "Even if I say it, you won’t believe me, so what do you want me to do? I’ll listen to whatever you say, hmm?"
