Shang Yinghan of the Shang family! He would be inheriting the family business!

He was so powerful that he could shake up the entire stock market if he wanted to!

Shu Rui snorted, “Wen Qing, why did you suddenly mention Mr. Shang? Do you think you can covet him? Be reasonable! Why would Mr. Shang be interested in a withered flower like you?”

Slap!

The moment she finished speaking, a loud clap rang out.

Shu Rui clutched her face and looked at Lan Qulin in disbelief. She had slapped her. “Aunt, did you just hit me?”

Lan Qulin flicked her wrist. Her expression was dark. “How dare you call my daughter a withered flower? You deserve to be hit!”

“Lan Qulin!” Lan Enhui roared. She recovered from her shock and quickly protected her daughter. “How dare you hit my daughter!”

“You have failed to educate your daughter properly. As her aunt, I should be able to rebuke her. Isn’t that right?” Lan Qulin no longer gave off the air of a rich and classy lady. Her anger and shock were terrifying.

Even Lan Enhui did not dare to act so rashly.

“No matter what my daughter does, I will be the one to discipline her. Shu Rui, you did not advise her properly. You scolded her so harshly. Is this how you’ve been raised?” Lan Qulin said.

Shu Rui sobbed. She was frightened of Lan Qulin. Moreover, she had just been slapped. She was in pain. Therefore, she did not dare to argue with Lan Qulin. She could only cry.

“Lan Qulin, don’t be so arrogant!” Lan Enhui was also furious!

“Between us, who is more arrogant? Weren’t you the one who came to my house just to scold my daughter?”

She was speechless.

Shu Rui kept sobbing.

“Why are you crying? Did you come to my house just to cry? Are you disheartened?” Lan Qulin said in a low voice.

After she said this, Shu Rui did not dare to keep crying.

Shu Rui looked at Lan Qulin with tears in her eyes and shivered.

Wen Qing, who was behind Lan Qulin, slowly poked her head out and glanced at Shu Rui, who was still on the verge of tears.

Coincidentally, their eyes met.

Shu Rui was about to say something when Lan Qulin suddenly said, “Apologize to your cousin immediately!” Her words stumped Shu Rui.

She looked at Lan Qulin in a daze. “Aunt, I know I shouldn’t have said those things just now, and I won’t say them again. But, why do I have to apologize to Wen Qing?”

Lan Qulin snorted, “You don’t want to apologize? Fine, then I’ll scold you with the same words you used on Wen Qing. I’ll match you word for word. Then, I won’t have to apologize either. How’s that?”

Shu Rui was speechless.

She had come to understand the situation. Wen Qing looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she must be regretting that Shu Rui found out about her scandal earlier this morning. However, she was lucky to have seen it.

She had even tried to fool her by saying she was hanging out with Shang Ke!

However, she knew that Shang Ke was still in Country H. He would probably only return tonight.

At that time, after Wen Qing said that, she felt that something was off. Fortunately, she thought about it carefully, and went to the front desk to check the room records. She also looked at Shang Ke’s social media and found out that he was participating in an event in Country H.

Wen Qing probably could not stand her loneliness, and ended up sleeping with a random man who left hickeys all over her body. Shu Rui would see how Wen Qing was going to dig herself out of this once the scandal was made public!

Although Shu Rui felt aggrieved after being slapped, when she thought about how the capital’s aristocratic families would react to this scandal tomorrow, she realized that today’s humiliation was nothing.

“Right… I wouldn’t like it.” Shu Rui apologized to Wen Qing.

Wen Qing thought to herself that only her mother could make this happen!

“Alright, alright. I’ll let it go this time. Next time, don’t yell at people like that. You got slapped today because of it,” Wen Qing said to her with a kind expression.

“Mother!” Shu Rui clutched her burning cheek. “Mother, let’s go.”

Lan Enhui was not as tough as Lan Qulin, and she did not dare to argue with her. After all, the Wen family was more powerful. She would just bear with it for now. Her daughter had said that the Wen family’s good days were coming to an end.

They waited for Lan Enhui to leave with her daughter.

Lan Qulin turned around and saw that Wen Qing was taking her leave as well. She shouted, “Stop right there!”

Wen Qing suddenly stopped.

Lan Qulin walked over and looked her up and down. She asked with a straight face, “What on earth did you do? What do they have against you?”

“Didn’t I tell you just now?” Wen Qing fidgeted, scratching her ears and cheeks.

Lan Qulin remembered that Wen Qing said she had provoked Shang Yinghan.

“You’re truly amazing!”

“No, I… Mom… I made a mistake.”

Lan Qulin’s heart softened at her daughter’s admission of guilt. “Provoking Shang Yinghan shouldn’t have scared you to this extent. What did you do to him? Tell me. I’ll speak with Dad about how we can protect you.”

Wen Qing thought, ‘I’ve offended his brother!’
