Chapter 247: Chapter 247

Her daughter just got engaged to Shen Xingwei, who is now the general manager of the Shen Group. It’s the perfect time for her to take her daughter around to be praised by others.

Ma Li has attended many parties these days, and everyone she meets praises her for having such a good daughter and son-in-law. When has she ever been mocked behind her back ?

Ma Li couldn’t swallow this bitterness.

"A child unloved by her dad and mom, what’s good about her besides a pretty face?" Ma Li spat. "She’s just got the face of a vixen, obviously not a good person."

"Shen Jue and his short-lived father have occupied positions in the Shen Group for years, getting to know many useful connections before you and Shen Xingwei did. Tonight, President Zhao and Mrs. Zhao have praised them again, making them the center of attention." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

At two consecutive parties, as soon as Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing arrived, it was as if everyone forgot about Rong Jiaojiao, and nobody remembered that the Shen family would be under her future son-in-law’s control.

Rong Jiaojiao was already angry, her face changing color, and upon hearing her mother’s complaints, jealousy surged within her.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Rong Qingqing had just finished listening to President Zhao and Mrs. Zhao’s long history of romance. After Mrs. Zhao was called away by newly arrived friends, Rong Qingqing finally felt some relief.

She turned to find Shen Jue, only to see him talking to a man she didn’t know. So, Rong Qingqing walked away by herself, planning to get some food to ease her hunger.

They had come straight from the hotel, without time to grab a bite, and now Rong Qingqing was hungry.

The Zhao family’s courtyard was large, and for tonight’s party, they had hired a company to decorate it.

All around the courtyard were beautiful colored balloons and Mrs. Zhao’s favorite tulips.

Not knowing anyone, Rong Qingqing got some food and found a spot a little towards the corner to sit.

Just as she thought of taking her phone, she subconsciously patted her clothes, but found nothing. Rong Qingqing remembered her dress had no pockets, and she didn’t bother with a handbag when she left, so she’d sneakily slipped her phone into Shen Jue’s suit pocket when he wasn’t looking.

Yes, she did it quietly, and Shen Jue had no idea.

Rong Qingqing sat there admiring the tulips nearby, eating fruit, when suddenly someone called her from behind.

The voice was surprised.

And couldn’t hide the joy.

"Miss Rong Qingqing? Is that you?"

Teacher Lin walked over from Rong Qingqing’s diagonal side and recognized her from the side.

Rong Qingqing turned her head, and in deference to Teacher Lin, whom Qiaoqiao respected, she stood up. "Teacher Lin, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Rong Qingqing was quite surprised, not expecting to see Qiaoqiao’s math teacher at President Zhao and Mrs. Zhao’s party.

"It is quite a coincidence." Teacher Lin approached and tentatively asked, "May I sit here?"

After Rong Qingqing nodded, Teacher Lin smiled and sat down, explaining to Rong Qingqing, "Mrs. Zhao is my aunt, and President Zhao is my uncle."

Teacher Lin smiled shyly as she explained.

"Well, hidden depths." Rong Qingqing understood, realizing that Qiaoqiao’s school was indeed full of talent.

"I like math and I like teaching," Teacher Lin’s cheeks turned slightly red. "I usually don’t attend such gatherings. I’m only here today because my cousin returned from abroad, and my aunt and uncle insisted I come."
