Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Sharp Tongued

Then, Rong Qingqing really clapped her hands twice and gave Rong Jiaojiao a look, indicating she should continue her performance.

This isn't just about seduction or not.

Half a year ago, Shen Jue and his father Shen Xiaohua were in a car accident. At the critical moment, Shen Xiaohua pushed Shen Jue out of the car, and he himself, along with the car, fell into the river.

The car was retrieved, but Shen Xiaohua was missing.

Half a year has passed, and there's no sign of life or death.

Professional salvage teams have gone into the river multiple times but have not retrieved a body.

It rained heavily for days, and the downpour was fierce. Everyone speculated that Shen Xiaohua might have been washed away by the water after falling out of the car.

Although Shen Jue was pushed out of the car by his father, he injured both of his legs and was in a coma in the hospital for over three months.

After waking up, he was disabled and could no longer stand.

Six months ago, before the accident with Shen Jue and his father, Shen Group was under the control of Shen Xiaohua and his son.

Shen Xiaohua was the CEO of Shen Group, and Shen Jue was being groomed by Mr. Shen and Shen Xiaohua to be the next successor. Although young, he already held a prominent position in the company.

Before these incidents, when people in Quanqing City mentioned Shen Jue, who wouldn't give a thumbs-up in admiration? Who didn't genuinely acknowledge Shen Jue as the future successor of Shen Group?

But the misfortune struck both Shen Jue and his father at once; one without a trace of burial ground, the other disabled.

Now, the CEO of Shen Group is Shen Gaizhuo, Shen Xiaohua's half-brother.

And Shen Jue's original position was taken over by Shen Gaizhuo's son, Shen Xingwei.

To be frank, it boils down to Rong Jiaojiao's family seeing Shen Jue disabled and unlikely to recover.

So they looked down on Shen Jue, this cripple, and Rong Jiaojiao immediately set her sights on Shen Xingwei, the new successor of Shen Group.

Rong Qingqing didn't know how much of Rong Jiaojiao's so-called mutual affection with Shen Xingwei was true.

But certainly, there must have been some secret agreement reached between Uncle Rong's family and Shen Xingwei's family, thus kicking the troublesome Rong Qingqing aside.

Keep in mind, before Shen Jue's accident, Rong Jiaojiao used to act like she was deeply in love with her fiancé, Shen Jue, in front of outsiders.

But it's said that Shen Jue seemed to always be indifferent to Rong Jiaojiao.

Both families were presumably unwilling to make things look too bad and were afraid of explaining themselves to the elders.

So they decided to push Rong Qingqing to the undesired Shen Jue.

Under the guise of facilitating Rong Jiaojiao and Shen Xingwei, yet without affecting the original relationship between the two families.

This shameless and brilliant drama unfolded in this way.

"Qingqing, as a young girl, don't speak so harshly. It makes you seem unrefined."

Liao Yamei, hearing Rong Qingqing's sharp words, reprimanded her from a senior's stance.

Liao Yamei assumed that with Rong Qingqing's temperament, she wouldn't talk back to an elder, thus ending the matter for the day.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qingqing exploded on the spot.

"The one doing shameless things is accusing the speaker of being harsh? Is doing shameless things supposed to show refinement?"

Rong Qingqing retorted unceremoniously.

Don't be ridiculous. When it comes to arguing, since she learned to talk, Rong Qingqing has never lost.

If arguing doesn't satisfy, then fighting is an option.

Since Rong Qingqing and her brother were young, they've grown up as school bullies, often fighting fiercely, and they've never lost a battle.
