Shen Rou probably thought that these words would be a blow to her confidence.
But if this was what she was going for, sheâd failed.
Qiao Mianmian wasnât affected by this, neither would she be saddened to learn about it.
âMiss Qiao, donât over-analyze what Iâm trying to say to you.â Shen Rou wasnât willing to admit it. âIâm just presenting some facts to you. As to why Ah Si would marry you, how am I to know?â
Haha.
Qiao Mianmian sneered in her heart.
She obviously meant it that way, and now she was denying it?
If Shen Rou had told her directly that she didnât like her and didnât wish to see her with Mo Yesi, or that she wasnât good enough for Mo Yesi, she would actually admire such a straightforward character.
But this sort of sarcasm and unwillingness to own up to oneâs intention was disgusting.
She despised such methods.
âThis is all Miss Shen wanted to tell me?â
Qiao Mianmian couldnât be bothered about her, and there was some impatience in her tone. âIf youâre done, then please leave. Iâm a little tired and need some rest.â
Shen Rou was stunned.
Seeing how Qiao Mianmian was unfazed by what sheâd said, she frowned.
Qiao Mianmianâs reaction was completely out of her expectations.
Sheâd thought that Qiao Mianmian would be ashamed and at a loss.
Or that sheâd feel inferior and devastated.
Whichever reaction it was, it didnât matter. As long as she was unhappy, Shen Rou would feel good about herself.
But...
Qiao Mianmian didnât show any sign of sadness.
She didnât seem to be bothered at all.
It was as if this had nothing to do with her.
Now it was Shen Rou who was angry and ashamed of herself. âMiss Qiao doesnât mind it one bit?â
She didnât believe that Qiao Mianmian was completely fine with this. She must be feigning it!
Qiao Mianmian raised her brow. âMind what?â
Shen Rouâs gaze deepened. âIf Ah Si married you only because of that special reason and actually has no feelings for you... you wonât mind it at all?â
âMiss Shen, are you being concerned for me now?â Qiao Mianmian smiled. âBut the reason Mo Yesi and I married is between just the two of us. It has nothing to do with an outsider like Miss Shen.â
Qiao Mianmian emphasized the word âoutsiderâ.
Shen Rouâs facial muscles were practically twitching. âMiss Qiao really thinks that her place as Young Madam Mo is secure just because she married Ah Si?â
âThat has nothing to do with you too.â
Qiao Mianmian was getting increasingly annoyed by her and didnât want to entertain her further. âMiss Shen, could you leave already?â
Shen Rou was a prideful person. How could she tolerate being chased out time and again?
The elegant but false smile on her face vanished, and by now, she was looking coldly at Qiao Mianmian. She sneered and said, âI hope that Miss Qiao can remain this confident. Iâm waiting to see how long you can take the place of Young Madam Mo.â
âThank you.â Qiao Mianmian gestured to the door. âI shanât walk you out.â
Shen Rou pursed her lips and glared at her for a full minute before finally taking her leave.
...
When the door closed, Qiao Mianmian wasnât sleepy anymore.
She wasnât in the mood to sleep after Shen Rou bothered her like that.
Although she didnât care much about Shen Rou herself, it was still upsetting to be targeted and attacked this way.
