Before she could speak, Shen Jue, who had been silent all night in his wheelchair, spoke up first.
However, he wasn't speaking to her but to the servant standing behind him.
"Go to the third floor and prepare a guest room for her."
Saying this, Shen Jue turned his wheelchair as if he intended to leave.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing almost jumped up and shouted, "No need!"
She had no intention of staying here to develop feelings with Shen Jue.
Guo Lan assumed Rong Qingqing was dissatisfied with the room, so she explained on behalf of her son.
"The second floor is for me and your Uncle Shen, the third floor is Qiaoqiao's, and the fourth floor is Jue's. Jue prefers quiet and dislikes noise, so we chose a room for you on Qiaoqiao's floor."
"Miss Qing, you and Miss Qiaoqiao are both girls, you'll have more to talk about staying together," Nanny Zhao added.
Rong Qingqing continued to shake her head, noticing the misunderstanding, and stood up to retrieve her suitcase.
She explained seriously, "I'm not staying here; I'm going back to my own place."
"But Grandpa Shen has instructed you to stay here," Guo Lan said with difficulty.
"He wants you and Jue to spend more time together, as you two are going to be married after all."
Rong Qingqing muttered to herself, that's not so certain.
The old Rong Qingqing might have just waited for the engagement and marriage to happen.
But with her now, it's not a given.
She wasn't as obedient and docile as the previous Rong Qingqing.
"Auntie, I'm used to being independent, not used to living with so many people, and I'm noisy. It's not good if I disturb Shen Jue, is it?"
Others might fear the old masters, but Rong Qingqing didn't.
"If Grandpa Shen asks, Auntie, just say it was my own decision."
Rong Qingqing waved goodbye to Guo Lan, and just as she was about to say farewell, Shen Jue, already at the elevator, slowly turned his wheelchair back.
Looking at Rong Qingqing, but speaking to Guo Lan, he said, "Mom, have Seventh Uncle escort the guest."
And with that, Shen Jue coldly turned his wheelchair into the elevator, closed the door, and went upstairs.
Rong Qingqing quietly pouted.
It seemed as if he was so worried that she might change her mind and stay.
Even if begged, she wouldn't be willing to stay here.
"Auntie, goodbye, I'm leaving now." Rong Qingqing bid farewell briskly, turned around with her suitcase, and left.
The Shen Family's driver, Seventh Uncle, hurried after Rong Qingqing, as finding a taxi around here was nearly impossible, so he had to be responsible for seeing her off.
Guo Lan watched Rong Qingqing's retreating figure and sighed. When she turned back and saw the tightly closed elevator door, the sigh grew even heavier.
"Madam, are you worried about explaining to Grandpa Shen?" Nanny Zhao came over to comfort her.
"We've already tried to keep her, but we can't tie Miss Qing and force her to stay, can we?"
Guo Lan shook her head, "Why would I worry about an outsider? I'm worried about Jue."
"Since the accident, he's become like a different person, doesn't like talking, doesn't venture out, and doesn't see anyone."
Guo Lan couldn't help but sigh, "And now even his fiancée is being changed, this is really rubbing salt into his wounds; the actions of the second family are truly excessive."
As she spoke, Guo Lan's eyes turned red.
"Jue's father is still missing, and everyone claims he's dead, leaving us widows and orphans to rely on the Shen Family."
"Qiaoqiao is still in middle school, and Jue is like this, without the Shen Family, the three of us wouldn't survive."
"It's alright if I suffer, but I can't bear for Jue and Qiaoqiao to suffer, otherwise, I'd have fought with the second family today without a second thought."
