Chapter 197: Chapter 197
"I mean, if a cripple doesn’t know how to lower himself a bit to win over a girl, who would want to marry him, right, Jiaojiao?"
A few girlfriends chimed in, talking about how Shen Jue now can’t compare to Shen Xingwei. No wonder Shen Jue has to follow Rong Qingqing in a wheelchair to have hotpot with her, and even has to flatter Rong Qingqing by serving her food.
But only Rong Jiaojiao knows in her heart.
Even if Shen Jue is crippled, Shen Jue has never flattered anyone.
Shen Jue remains that same Shen Jue, perhaps even more difficult to deal with than before.
Yet, it seems Rong Qingqing always has a way to get along harmoniously with Shen Jue. Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
Rong Jiaojiao heard that yesterday, Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue went for a walk in the park, and it was Shen Jue who ended up carrying Rong Qingqing back to Shen Manor.
After Rong Qingqing returned to Shen Manor, Shen Xingwei rushed to see Rong Qingqing.
But none of this matters much. What Rong Jiaojiao finds hardest to accept is the message her mother sent to her just a few minutes ago. She was told that just minutes ago, Mr. Shen spent one billion two hundred and sixty million on a villa in Yulong Bay for Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing as their marriage home.
The sales office for the Yulong Bay development is right next to the hotpot restaurant she’s eating in.
Even more ironically, when she walked by with her girlfriends, they laughed and asked her whether her marriage home with Shen Xingwei would be bought in Yulong Bay.
Her friends said, only a house there would be worthy of her and Shen Xingwei’s status.
However, the truth is, since her engagement with Shen Xingwei, the Rong Family has given her nothing, and the Shen Family hasn’t given anything either.
Unlike Rong Qingqing’s engagement, where Mr. Rong gifted shares of a company, a house, and jewelry.
When Rong Jiaojiao and her mother entered the Rong Family home, Mr. Rong immediately made it clear that he did not recognize Rong Jiaojiao as his granddaughter. Therefore, when Rong Jiaojiao marries, she shouldn’t expect him to give anything.
Mr. Rong himself wouldn’t give, nor would he allow his son to.
So, even though Rong Jiaojiao is engaged, she has not received any shares as a gift from her father, only a house in the city center and some jewelry of similar value to what Rong Qingqing received when she got engaged.
But these things combined are not worth more than the shares Rong Qingqing received.
Now, add to that a villa worth over a billion.
Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue are not even engaged yet.
Listening to the girlfriends talk about how Shen Jue is pampering Rong Qingqing, Rong Jiaojiao feels increasingly bitter.
Back when she hadn’t broken off her engagement with Shen Jue, if Shen Jue treated her half as well as he does Rong Qingqing, she wouldn’t have hurriedly got engaged to Shen Xingwei.
If Shen Jue could have treated her better, perhaps she could have persuaded her father to help Shen Jue keep his position in Shen Group.
Kicking Shen Jue aside, Rong Jiaojiao had thought of seeing Shen Jue regret, but to this day, she hasn’t seen it.
In fact, Rong Jiaojiao herself has begun to feel a tinge of regret.
Because Shen Xingwei isn’t any easier to please than Shen Jue.
At least Shen Jue has no one in his heart.
Whereas Shen Xingwei’s heart is full of Rong Qingqing.
"Jiaojiao, since you bumped into her at the same place, won’t you go over to greet your cousin?" one of her girlfriends encouraged Rong Jiaojiao, "It wouldn’t be bad to give her a hard time, right?"
Rong Jiaojiao snapped back to reality, "Don’t talk nonsense, Qingqing is my own cousin. Why would I want to bother her?"
Rong Jiaojiao stood up, "But since we ran into each other, I should at least say hi. You guys eat ahead."
