Chapter 586: Just an Outsider
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhao Jiao was originally in a good mood, but when she saw Jiang Chun, she felt nauseous. Thinking of Jiang Wei’s previous actions, she hated Jiang Chun even more.
Although the Yang family had found a scapegoat for what they had done and it looked like they had been cleared completely, how could the Shen family not know what Yang Ting had done?
Zhao Jiao held Wen Nian’s hand and deliberately did not lower her voice. “I originally thought that everyone was here to celebrate Old Master’s birthday. I didn’t expect them to really come and criticize my Shen family. My old master gave his future granddaughter-in-law a pendant, but someone is already not keeping their mouth clean. Now that I’m giving my daughter-in-law a family heirloom bracelet, someone is stopping me. I don’t know who’s in charge of the Shen family now.”
Her voice was not soft. Just now, Wen Nian had attracted the attention of many people when she gave out the prayer beads. Now that they saw how protective Zhao Jiao was of her and looked at the bracelet on Wen Nian’s hand, if anyone still said that Shen Jun and Wen Nian were just fooling around, they would really be stupid.
Yang Ting was a little anxious. She had seen Zhao Jiao a few times in the past and thought that she was a carefree and kind auntie. She did not expect her to be so fierce because of Wen Nian.
She quickly took a step forward. “No, Auntie. Shen Jun and Wen Nian are just boyfriend and girlfriend. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to give her such an expensive bracelet.”
Zhang Fang had originally planned to take advantage of offering a gift to have a good chat with Old Mr. Shen. She did not expect Yang Ting to cause trouble again after leaving for two minutes.
Before she could run over, Zhao Jiao said coldly, “I didn’t know that the Yang family is planning to be the head of the Shen family now. I’m Mrs. Shen. Can’t I give anyone a gift? Does Shen Jun need the Yang family’s approval to date anyone?”
“Mrs. Shen, it’s not like that.” Zhang Fang quickly pulled Yang Ting and pinched her hard to make her shut up.
When Yang Ting saw Zhao Jiao’s expression, she knew that she had gotten into trouble. She only lowered her head but did not want to apologize. She had nothing to apologize for. She felt that only she was worthy of Shen Jun. What was Wen Nian?
Zhang Fang smiled obsequiously. “Yang Ting has known Shen Jun since she was young and doesn’t treat you as outsiders. She’s speaking a little carelessly. Please don’t take offense.”
“But she’s an outsider to begin with.” Zhao Jiao snorted. “There are many people who know my son. How is she not an outsider? Stop trying to get close to him!”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd. “Aunt, you’re being too polite. It’s just a business collaboration. When did Cousin and Shen Jun become so close? I’m afraid it’s just one-sided, right?”
The owner of the voice was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She looked delicate and had raised eyebrows. She looked a little powerful. Wen Nian had never seen this person before.
She smiled smugly and said, “Mrs. Shen, don’t mind her. Yang Ting has always missed Shen Jun since she was young. I’m afraid she’s a little unhappy to see that he has a girlfriend now, right? It’s inevitable for a little girl to speak a little rashly.”
“Yang Xi? Why are you here?” Yang Ting looked at her angrily, “How can you come to such an important occasion?”
“Miss Yang, you’re interfering too much, aren’t you?” Shen Wei’s voice sounded as he walked over unhurriedly. “What can you do about who I invite for my birthday?”
“No, I don’t dare. That’s not what I meant,” Yang Ting quickly said.
However, her hands grabbed Zhang Fang’s arm tightly, and Zhang Fang’s heart was already in turmoil.
Yang Xi was the child of Yang Ting’s father’s second brother. Yang Ting’s father had always been in charge of the Yang family. No one else had ever been able to interfere. However, Yang Xi’s appearance here meant that things were not simple.
She looked at Shen Wei in horror and said with a trembling voice, “Of course, the more lively Old Mr. Shen’s birthday banquet is, the better. As long as you’re happy. It’s just that Yang Xi hasn’t seen much of a big scene. If there’s anything wrong, please bear with it.”
Shen Wei said indifferently, “It’s nothing. She’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future. This time, her father isn’t in the country. It’ll be much better with an adult to take care of her next time.”
He looked at Yang Ting again and snorted. “Your daughter has seen big scenes, but what happened in the end? Like I said, you’re not the only family in the Yang family.”
Hearing his words, Zhang Fang and Yang Ting were stunned on the spot, especially Yang Ting. When she saw Yang Xi smiling at her, her entire body trembled.
She knew what Shen Wei meant too well. Last time, she thought that with her father’s longtime friendship with the Shen family, nothing would happen to her. However, something had probably really happened this time..
