CH 22

At two o’clock in the morning, Shen Yi was still awake, lying in bed, tossing and turning, not sleepy at all.

He carefully got out of bed, opened the door a crack, and saw that Rong Qian was still sleeping on the sofa. She had wrapped herself tightly in a quilt, like a silkworm chrysalis, shrunken into a ball.

The living room was cold in the late morning, after all, it was winter.

Shen Yi let her sleep in his room at first. After all, it’s not the same now. Now, how could he let her sleep on the sofa?

However, Rong Qian did not take up his bed to sleep, saying that sleeping on the sofa was fine, simply because in Rong Qian’s eyes, Shen Yi is still a growing child and must eat well and sleep well.

As an adult, how could she steal a child’s bed to sleep?

After confirming that she was still in the living room, Shen Yi closed the door, wanted to sleep peacefully, but half an hour later, he couldn’t help getting up to take another look, so repeatedly, Shen Yi forgot how many times he got up.

And Rong Qian knew nothing about it, this was a rare deep sleep.

Shen Yi didn’t fall asleep until four or five o’clock in the morning, he slept for less than three hours. It happened that today was the weekend, and he could sleep until eight o’clock before waking up.

After waking up, he habitually folded the quilt. Shen Yi left the room, just wanting to see if Rong Qian had woken up, but when he saw that there was no one on the sofa, it was empty, and the whole living room, was also still cold and quiet.

Shen Yi’s expression panicked; did she leave again? Or was last night just a dream of his?

However, just when Shen Yi’s eyes were about to burst into tears, Rong Qian came out of the kitchen wrapped in a quilt, yawned, and lazily said to him: “Morning!”

“You! I—” Shen Yi just wanted to say you did not leave and I was not dreaming? But then thought about it, it was too stupid to say that, so he changed his words in time and said: “How did you get out of the kitchen?”

“Get up and drink water. You don’t have a water dispenser here, so I just took the kettle and boiled water on the gas stove.” Rong Qian just woke up not long ago, her eyes were sleepy, and she didn’t know if it was because of the change of seasons. Her whole body is lazy, unable to lift a little energy, and she is very sleepy.

Rong Qian said, and collapsed on the sofa, continuing to lie down.

Shen Yi looked at her, went into the kitchen, after the water boiled, took out two cups, poured the water back and forth to speed up the cooling, and when the water was not so hot, he just woke up Rong Qian to drink water.

Rong Qian finished drinking a glass of water, before she felt more comfortable.

Shen Yi said to her: “You can sleep again; I’ll go buy you some toiletries and bring breakfast by the way.”

“Good.” Rong Qian was listless, her eyes half-narrowed, like a lazy kitten, nestled in the sofa, and just didn’t want to move.

The reason why Rong Qian was able to relax so much was due to Shen Yi’s contribution.

The last time she came here, Shen Yi was still young after all, and Rong Qian didn’t dare to relax at all, and in that kind of place, she couldn’t relax either.

But it’s different here, no need to worry about someone’s surprise attack, Shen Yi has also been on his own, no need for her to supervise all the time.

Shen Yi went to buy her daily necessities, and Rong Qian allowed herself to sleep in for another half hour. But in less than half an hour, Rong Qian heard a knock at the door.

Rong Qian was woken up, she thought did Shen Yi forgot to bring the key?

Rong Qian walked over to open the door, only to find two strangers standing at the door, one was an elegant lady with heavy makeup and jewelry all over her body.

Actually, this woman does not look very old, probably in her thirties, but she is dressed very old-fashioned. After all, such jewelry is only brought by young ladies.

But if people are trying to prove that they are noble ladies, that’s a different story.

Behind the woman stood a middle-aged man in a suit, standing in a very disciplined posture, and even a little humble, like in the service industry, he still wore white gloves on his hands.

Rong Qian thought that the rich people in the last century would bring their own driver when they went out. The driver unlike the present time, only responsible for driving. At this time, the driver was more like a housekeeper, always serving the boss who hired you.

And while Rong Qian was sizing up the other party, the other party was sizing her up as well.

Meng Yuxin held a noble posture, her head held high and cocky, and her eyes always looked at people with a hint of disdain, showing her supreme arrogance.

Found that it was not Shen Yi who came to open the door, but a woman wrapped in a quilt, with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes, Meng Yuxin had an idea in her mind at that time.

“I said, for good reason, don’t live in the dormitory of the school, ran out to rent a house. It turned out that it was to hide women!”

Meng Yuxin had a look that I had seen through long ago, with a strange expression, and she opened her mouth to sneer.

“It’s just that I didn’t expect that at the age of sixteen, already started playing with women, and even found a mature woman. Is it because he wants to learn more experience?” Meng Yuxin deliberately covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coyly, as if she would be infected by Rong Qian. Her expression showed undisguised disdain and disgust.

Rong Qian is not a fool, she understood what the other party meant when she heard it.

Good heavens! She actually regarded her Rong Qian as a young lady who was selling out? Moreover, she also insulted Shen Yi’s reputation!

It is tolerable what is unbearable!1an idiom, it means absolutely intolerable. as a clause; means that it must not be tolerated

“This aunt, who are you? You ran into someone else’s house for no reason and said a bunch of things that only people with a “dirty” mind would think! I see that you are still holding a handkerchief to cover your mouth. What, are you aware of your bad breath and afraid of smelling people?” Rong Qian also deliberately bite the word dirty; when it comes to hating people, she hasn’t lost to anyone.

After all, the title “female devil” did not come for nothing.

Meng Yuxin was still thinking about what Rong Qian said about her finding the wrong door, but she didn’t react for a moment, and after a while, her face turned livid, and she remembered to scold back!

“You, you this woman unexpectedly dare to scold me? Do you know who I am? ”

Rong Qian rolled her eyes, “Aunt, are you deaf? If I knew who you were, would I need to ask you just now?”

“Who are you calling aunt! Preposterous, no have education at all. No wonder you live in such a shabby place, you really are a lowly person with a lowly job!” Meng Yuxin face was hideous, pointing at Rong Qian’s face to scold, the sharp red fingernail, almost poked her face.

Seeing this scene, Rong Qian really wanted to spit out what age is it now? Occupations are also divided into high and low, and there are upper-class and lower-class people? But on second thought, she was in the United States in the 1970s…

Well, that’s normal.

Rong Qian had a ruthless face, she slapped the door heavily, then pointed to 302 on the wall, let her to take a good look, and said: “Did you see it? This is my home, you have found the wrong door!”

“I’m looking for is 302, doesn’t Shen Yi live here?” Meng Yuxin thought that she really found the wrong door, and her confidence suddenly weakened.

Of course Rong Qian knew that she was running to Shen Yi, but this person was not good, Rong Qian did not intend to let her meet Shen Yi.

Therefore, Rong Qian denied that she didn’t know Shen Yi, this was her home, and then, right in front of her, slammed the door heavily!

Meng Yuxin was almost hit on the nose, and she was so scared that she hurriedly took a few steps back. She had a dark face, asked the middle-aged man beside her, “Didn’t you say he lives in 302, No. 17, St. Luo Street? Why did you find the wrong place?”

The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said: “But, maybe the person who checked made a mistake?”

“A bunch of waste! Let me run for nothing, when you go back, you’d better find out for me!” Meng Yuxin became angry from embarrassment, flustered and turned away.

The middle-aged man quickly followed.

Rong Qian’s ear was pressed against the door, heard the sound of footsteps going down the stairs and walked away, before she was relieved.

In fact, Rong Qian could already guess who she was.

Rong Qian heard Shen Shuhuai mention that Shen Yi would leave the manor in the first place, and a large part of it was forced by his stepmother.

This stepmother’s name is Meng Yuxin, who is about the same age as Yan Qingyao. This woman is very vain, greedy for fame and profit, and don’t know how she got Shen Chi’s favor, and even gave birth to a son with him.

What’s more, Shen Chi didn’t know that she raised the child by herself.

Until later, Shen Chi found her, this brought her back to the manor with the child.

Meng Yuxin is a typical poor person who has lived for too long. When she has money, she splurges everywhere. She can’t wait to announce to the world that she married a wealthy family and became a noble lady!

And obviously, she took this position by on her own ability. She said that she would not let herself live the hard life before; anyone who would threaten her and her son’s status, she has to eliminate it all!

Shen Yi, is her biggest threat.

Because, Shen Chi trained him as his successor, and in the future, the company will be handed over to him.

So, for the sake of her son’s future, Meng Yuxin would never let Shen Yi come back!
