CHAPTER 39
Step on a minefield
"Ruohan, Shaochen is over there. Why don't you go over?" A lady in a purple evening gown walked over. The other ladies all took a detour.
Shen Ruohan's eyes were red. She looked at her mother and complained, "Brother Shaochen already has a girlfriend! Why would I go there? "
"What?" He Shaochen's mother had just gone to the washroom, so she missed the interaction between He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao. Because of her poor vision, she only noticed Qiao Qiao holding onto Shaochen's arm. Her gaze turned cold. "Who is the woman standing beside Shaochen?"
"How would I know? Just now when Auntie Ye went over to ask about the situation, they were very loving! "
Shen Ruohan felt wronged when she thought of the scene just now. She was the star of the show tonight. How could she let an unknown woman steal the limelight?
"Let's go." Mother Shen suddenly pulled Shen Ruohan towards He Shaochen.
Shen Ruohan was shocked. "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Shen glared at her. "How can I let someone steal my daughter's limelight?"
Qiao Qiao obediently stayed by He Shaochen's side, maintaining a decent and elegant smile. He Shaochen was not much better than her. Being greeted by all kinds of people made him extremely unhappy.
Now, he was being held back by the head of the Shen family, Shen Ruohan's father, Shen Zhengen.
Coincidentally, Mother Shen walked up with Shen Ruohan.
"Shaochen, long time no see. Ruohan, why didn't you greet us?" Mother Shen tugged at Shen Ruohan's clothes.
"Hello, Brother Shaochen." Shen Ruohan squeezed out a smile and looked at Qiao Qiao bitterly. Now that she looked at Qiao Qiao's outfit, she felt that Qiao Qiao was the main character today and she was just a supporting character.
It was completely suppressed!
Thinking of this, Shen Ruohan felt wronged and resentful. Why didn't her parents prepare more luxurious clothes and jewelry for her?
"… Ruohan, long time no see. You're getting prettier." He Shaochen paused for a second before he remembered Shen Ruohan's name.
"This is Joe Qiao, my lover." He Shaochen leaned on Qiao Qiao intimately. "Qiao Qiao, this is Ruohan's mother, Auntie Zhang. Quick, say hello."
Qiao Qiao saw that He Shaochen's attitude was slightly different from before. She remembered that he had said before that he wanted her to block the pestering of other women for him. Could it be that he was talking about this woman?
Qiao Qiao understood and smiled even more beautifully. "Hello, Auntie Zhang and Miss Shen."
Mother Shen could still accept it with a smile, but Shen Ruohan couldn't take it at all. She pouted, obviously unhappy.
Mother Shen glared at Shen Ruohan. "Ruohan, how could you be so rude?"
"Hello!" Shen Ruohan could only reply.
"Miss Qiao is so beautiful and elegant. You're very similar to someone I know." Mother Shen was obviously talking about He Shaochen's ex-girlfriend, Andol.
Such words shouldn't have been said because it wasn't a compliment to say that she was similar to someone. In other words, Shen Ruohan was just a substitute for that person.
Those who knew He Shaochen knew about Andol. She said that to see how Qiao Qiao would react, but she didn't expect to touch on He Shaochen's minefield. He looked unhappy and said calmly, "Auntie Shen, let bygones be bygones."
Mother Shen was a little embarrassed when she heard that. Shen Zhengen also looked at Mother Shen reproachfully. "Shaochen is here today. Don't mention those irrelevant people."
"You're right, haha …"
