Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1804: Chapter 1806: Femme Fatale

The Shen Family has indeed been having a tough time these days. No, the one having the toughest time should be Shen Qizheng. Originally, the business was running smoothly, but suddenly it stalled. Upon inquiry, it turned out people heard that his Third Mistress and Fourth Young Master Ning shared teeth marks, so they were reluctant to cooperate.

It’s truly absurd. How can such a thing happen? Business should be conducted properly. How can personal grudges lead to a refusal to cooperate?

But the fact remains, people would rather offend him than offend that dissolute scion, Fourth Young Master Ning. The backing on their side is strong, after all. Even a fool can see where the greater benefits lie.

Shen Qizheng had no choice but to try to meet Ning Ge several times, but he always avoided him.

Once or twice, he got angry and vented his anger on Chiang Qing. However, Chiang Qing slyly got the old master to act as her shield. It was truly infuriating.

Leaving the Summer Resort, Shen Qizheng’s face was dark as soot as he thought about the old master protecting Chiang Qing and Ning Ge’s earlier words.

That damn Chiang Qing!

Shen Rong lightly tapped the table, his brows slightly furrowed. The door knocked, and he turned his head to see his little woman enter with a tray, bringing a faint fragrance with her.

"You’ve made soup again? What is it today?" Shen Rong asked with a smile, looking at the soup tureen.

"It’s almost autumn, so I specially had someone buy a ram. It’s a male, so I made you some He Shou Wu stewed with ram whip," Chiang Qing said with a smile.

Shen Rong’s smile slightly dimmed for a moment, and he said, "You are thoughtful!"

Chiang Qing didn’t notice the gleam in his eyes, and putting down the tray, she said, "One must eat what’s appropriate for each season. I would never harm you." She ladled out the soup and asked casually, "Did the Eldest Master leave?"

"Yes." Shen Rong nodded and asked, "Do you know why he came?"

Chiang Qing chuckled, "I’m not a god, how would I know?" She blew on the soup in the spoon and fed it to him herself.

Seeing this, Shen Rong had no choice but to open his mouth and take it. A rich medicinal taste spread in his mouth.

"He said business hasn’t been going well lately, that Fourth Young Master Ning is putting on pressure, that he heard you have issues with him, and wants me to take you back," Shen Rong said blandly.

Ding!

The spoon in Chiang Qing’s hand struck the side of the bowl. When she looked up, her eyes were already brimming with tears.

"So, the Eldest Master came to complain about me, huh?" Chiang Qing forced a smile through her tears and said, "When I just arrived, I shamelessly tried to cozy up, drank until I threw up, built connections for him, expanded channels, and I didn’t even ask for his gratitude. Family, right? As long as the Shen Family is fine, that’s enough. But later, he thought I was useless, went to find Ning Ge himself, and didn’t use my connections anymore. Now that things are going wrong, he blames me?"

Shen Rong said nothing.

Chiang Qing put down the soup bowl and said, "He doesn’t know, but you know what my past was like, what I’ve been through, right? I won’t hide it from you: I do have issues with Ning Ge. He colluded with my half-brother to send me into that place. Am I supposed to be grateful to him?"

"Alright, alright, stop crying; no one’s saying anything about you!" Shen Rong patted her hand.

"No, I have to say it. Ning Ge is strong now, and I can’t play against him, so I won’t play anymore. I came here just to be with you and then..." Chiang Qing bit her lip and said, "Then have a child. Isn’t that enough? Is he trying to drive me to death? Isn’t that too overbearing? And doesn’t he even consider the Shen Family?"

When Shen Rong heard the word ’child,’ his gaze lingered on the soup for a moment. No wonder she’d been giving him all these supplements lately and being so passionate at night — it was all for the sake of having a child.
