Chapter 209: Chapter 209

But Rong Jiaojiao had already said it out loud, and the old man seemed quite agreeable, so naturally, Rong Honghui wouldn’t be foolish enough to show his impatience in front of so many people.

Rong Honghui thought that if Rong Qingqing were sensible, she should refuse herself.

Sitting next to Rong Honghui, Rong Qingqing thought for a few seconds and replied, "I’m not going with you all."

Upon hearing this, Rong Jiaojiao’s face showed a bit of regret.

As for what she regretted, only she knew.

But Rong Honghui smiled, "Not going is fine. After all, these are social occasions, not particularly fun. If you want to have fun, let Jiaojiao call her friends, and you all can hang out on your own later."

Rong Qingqing felt that this uncle Rong Honghui seemed to have misunderstood something.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing instantly understood; Rong Honghui didn’t even try to persuade her, clearly wishing she wouldn’t go.

But the thing is, what Rong Qingqing actually meant was that she wouldn’t go with Rong Jiaojiao.

However, she never said she wouldn’t go at all.

Rong Qingqing turned to look at Shen Jue, saying directly, "I’m not going with you all because I’m going with Shen Jue."

Everyone at the table was stunned.

Shen Jue frowned slightly.

When did he ever say he was going?

When did he agree to accompany her?

Had Rong Qingqing already gotten used to making decisions for him?

"But this gathering requires an invitation," Rong Jiaojiao blurted out.

"Maybe others need an invitation, but my brother doesn’t. Our family can just show up and check in with Uncle Zhao." Shen Qiao finally lifted her head from her meal, and after speaking, she lowered her head to continue eating.

"Mrs. Zhao called me, thinking Ah Jue doesn’t like going out, and I didn’t really want to go either, so I declined." Because of her husband’s relationship with Chairman Zhao, Guo Lan and Mrs. Zhao become friendly enough to chat.

Since Guo Lan declined, Mrs. Zhao didn’t specially send out an invitation, but she did mention that if they ever wanted to go, they just needed to call her. Guo Lan’s and Shen Qiao’s words made the expressions of Rong Qingqing’s father and daughter a bit stiff.

Indeed, the Shen Family is different from the Rong Family.

Perhaps the Zhao Family extended the invitation to the Rong Family for the Shen Family’s sake.

Does anyone from the Shen Family need an invitation to attend any banquet?

Even for Chairman Zhao and Mrs. Zhao’s wedding anniversary, they could make an appearance without missing a beat.

In this city, who would dare not give face to the Shen Family?

No one would be foolish enough to refuse to associate with the Shen Family. This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Today, when Shen Jue and I were buying a matrimonial home, we ran into Chairman Zhao. Chairman Zhao bought a villa next door for Zhao Junxi, and at the sales office, he gave us invitations."

Rong Qingqing turned naturally to look at Shen Jue as she spoke.

She asked, "Where did you put the invitations and those things from the sales office? You didn’t throw them in the trash after bringing them home, did you?"

Shen Jue was carrying all the stuff, while Rong Qingqing walked in empty-handed.

"In my room," Shen Jue answered.

If he wanted to throw them away, he would have done it earlier. Why carry them all the way home and then throw them away?

Would he be that foolish?

Listening to the exchange between Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue, Rong Jiaojiao fell silent.

She realized that with Rong Qingqing, Shen Jue didn’t seem as aloof.

When Rong Qingqing asked Shen Jue, he responded.

Moreover, his tone was as usual, without the slightest impatience. Though his expression was calm, it was not cold.

The Rong Family came with three people.

But when they left, there were only two.
