Chapter 229: Inexplicable Jealousy! (Part 2)
Shen Ruoyan sighed and said, "Actually, it is my Shen family that has implicated you! All your efforts were for the Shen family, but we, the Shen family, failed to protect you. This is our fault!"
Jiang Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "You are wrong, this has nothing to do with the Shen family! Gold like me can be recognized immediately even if it is buried in the black soil! But I'm used to it!"
Shen Ruoyan, who was worried just now, couldn't help laughing when she heard Jiang Chengfeng's words. Her gloomy mood disappeared at once, and she said angrily: "You guy, I've never seen anyone thicker-skinned than you!"
"Miss, to be honest, even if the Shen family is forced to be involved in this dispute, there is no need to be nervous! According to my guess, King Liang doesn't want the Shen family, I'm afraid he wants the entire Jiangnan! According to this inference, our Shen family is just a drop in the bucket compared to Jiangnan!"
Shen Ruoyan nodded, her eyes were firm, and she said seriously: "Actually, what you just said is right, there is no way to avoid disaster! Although we in the Shen family are all women, we are definitely not the kind of people who can be bullied!"
Jiang Chengfeng looked at Miss Shen at this moment, and found that she was 70% similar to Madam Shen when she was majestic. It seems that temperament can be inherited.
"Oh, right! When I was in Huazhou before, I heard Tang Yin say that Madam seemed to have many old friends in the capital! If something really happened to the Shen family, these people would not just ignore it, right?"
Shen Ruoyan smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Actually, I have already asked mother about this! Mother said that she does have some connections in the capital, but these people are just ordinary friends, not even acquaintances! Moreover, mother has been away from the capital for more than 20 years, and I don't know how many of these ordinary friends are still in the capital - but our Shen family is not a cowardly family. Even if we die, we will not curry favor with the powerful and be looked down upon by others!"
This Miss Shen is really strong-willed!
Jiang Chengfeng secretly praised in his heart, but on the surface he was comforting her: "Miss, this is the worst outcome! However, in my opinion, we don't have to worry about this happening! Who is King Liang? He is a prince with a good reputation. To put it bluntly, this kind of person attaches great importance to reputation and does not allow any stain on his body! So, in my opinion, the Shen family is not only not in danger, but safer than ever!"
After hearing what Jiang Chengfeng said, Shen Ruoyan's heart finally relaxed completely, and a bright smile bloomed on his face again.
"You guy, it turns out you already had a plan! No wonder you are so calm and composed!" Shen Ruoyan said angrily.
After a pause, he suddenly said, "Jiang Dazhu, do you think Miss Ye is pretty?"
Jiang Chengfeng was stunned for a moment. The young lady's topic jumped too quickly and it was hard for him to follow her train of thought!
Looking at Shen Ruoyan's expectant eyes, Jiang Chengfeng nodded and said, "It looks good!"
Shen Ruoyan blushed, lowered her head, and asked in a low voice: "So who do you think is better looking between the two of us?"
This kind of question is the most troublesome. Jiang Chengfeng rubbed his sore temples and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, they all look good!"
This sentence is not perfunctory, Shen Ruoyan and Ye Lingshuang belong to two different types of beauty. Ye Lingshuang is cheerful and lively, the type of girl next door, while Shen Ruoyan is cold and tough, with a queen style.
Shen Ruoyan was very dissatisfied with this answer. She snorted coldly, her face darkened, and she said, "What's wrong with you? You don't even tell the truth! Are you saying this because you're worried that I will be sad, or that she will be sad?"
Miss, can you please be reasonable? You are not my wife! How could I be afraid of you being sad?
"Actually - this -" Jiang Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, " Miss, do you really want to hear the truth?"
"Of course! I don't have time to chat with you!" Shen Ruoyan rarely made a witty remark.
"In fact, when she smiles, she is just as beautiful as the eldest lady!"
Shen Ruoyan responded with a low sound, her cheeks flushed, her teeth clenched, and she muttered softly: "You, you only know how to say sweet words to coax people--"
Jiang Chengfeng was sweating, "My dear lady, can't you hear that this sentence is the same as the one just now? It's just a different way of saying it. Alas - women's IQ is really a mystery!"
"From what I've observed, you look prettier when you cry than she does!"
Shen Ruoyan's heart was beating wildly. She was too embarrassed to raise her head. Her pointed chin had already touched her towering chest. She murmured, "Bah - I don't believe it! You haven't seen her cry!"
"It's because I've never seen her before that I think the eldest lady is prettier!" Jiang Chengfeng grinned, but he despised himself in his heart.
Shen Ruoyan was happy, but she remembered something very important and warned him immediately: "I won't tell you anymore! You are not allowed to tell anyone else about what happened today. Do you hear me?"
After saying that, the little girl lifted her skirt, ran to the carriage, and told the driver to drive away. On the way, she didn't even say a word to Jiang Chengfeng. Jiang Chengfeng was very depressed. This young lady was acting strangely these days. She must have her period.
After a tiring day, Jiang Chengfeng was ready to go back and have a good rest. However, just as he entered his courtyard, Dong'er ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Brother Dazhu——"
Jiang Chengfeng turned around and saw Dong'er running out of breath. She handed Jiang Chengfeng a bundle and said, "The lady asked me to give it to you--"
Jiang Chengfeng opened it and saw that it was the dirty clothes he had given Dong'er last time, all washed. If he sniffed carefully, he could still smell a faint floral scent.
Jiang Chengfeng asked Dong'er which woman did the washing. Dong'er shook her head and said she didn't know because the clothes had always been kept in the young lady's room.
Hearing Dong'er say this, Jiang Chengfeng was suddenly in a trance. It had been kept in Miss Shen's room. Could it be that Miss Shen washed it herself?
In the days that followed, Shen Ruoyan seemed to have completely gotten over the worries that the little prince had brought her, and she had regained the demeanor of a strong business woman. In particular, she performed exceptionally well in taking over the Fang family cloth shop.
Moreover, Shen Ruoyan would take Jiang Chengfeng with her wherever she went, and she even called it training him. Jiang Chengfeng was miserable, but intimidated by Miss Shen's "power", he had no choice but to study hard.
Jiang Chengfeng is a graduate of the Business School. When it comes to the intricacies of business, he knows more about it than Miss Shen. However, he cannot show it and has to pretend to be willing to learn.
However, Shen Ruoyan's main focus these days has been on the perfume and soap workshops. These two treasures now account for the bulk of the Shen family's income, and even Mrs. Shen often comes to inspect these two workshops.
