Chapter 607: Chapter 607: She is a Flirtatious Woman
Du Shiniang caught sight of Sheng Shaochen watching a news report about Ye Shu from afar, and walked straight over. She picked up the remote control and turned off the television, “Husband, we have arranged a dinner with the members of the Bossen Family today. As the hosts, it is time for us to leave.”
As she spoke, she helped Sheng Shaochen put on his coat.
Sheng Shaochen slowly turned around, reached out, and gently grasped Du Shiniang’s shoulders, looking down at her from his greater height. “Shi Niang…”
“Husband, you—” Du Shiniang first froze, then tears welled up in her eyes.
How could she not be moved to tears?
For three years, she had played the role of wife at Shengjing Garden.
In the company, she had taken on the role of secretary.
In the Old Mansion, she had been the dutiful daughter-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law.
In front of little Kaikai, she had even been a loving mother.
On consideration, she had been tirelessly serving Sheng Shaochen, and to outsiders, she appeared as a fortunate member of a wealthy family, a life of limitless splendor.
But only she understood that she was nothing more than a high-level maid.
And yet, the most pitiful part was that Sheng Shaochen never deigned to look at her properly.
Especially when they were alone, he barely even bothered to speak to her, treating his words as if they were gold!
Just now he had actually made eye contact with her, and for the first time, he had called her by her name!
This was a rare gift for her!
She was suddenly so moved that she wanted to cry, even feeling a blissful sense of happiness as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon.
Three years, and he finally seemed to acknowledge her efforts. Was he finally about to change his attitude towards her?
“Shi Niang, tell me, what could be the reason that a greedy woman would suddenly fifty million? Hm?” The intensity in Sheng Shaochen’s eyes grew with his questioning tone.
Du Shiniang felt her heart plummet into an icy abyss!
Had she just foolishly thought he was changing his opinion of her?
It turned out, it was all for Ye Shu!
His questioning gaze was clearly pressuring her, “Why have you always said that Ye Shu was a greedy woman, yet she threw away fifty million without even blinking an eye? How do you explain that!?”
Despite her utter disappointment, she forced herself to remain calm, “Husband, actually, what I know about Ye Shu’s character, I heard from grandma. They said that Ye Shu and her mother are both addicted to wandering affectionately from man to man…”
Sheng Shaochen said unhappily, “You seem to be dodging my question!”
Du Shiniang didn’t dare confront him directly, simply saying indirectly, “Husband, as for why she would so generously the fifty million she hadn’t even warmed yet, I believe she must have her reasons. Some people are adept at manipulating sentiments. If she wants enough, then maybe the fifty million is just a bait she threw out to fish for bigger gains.”
“How dare you!” Sheng Shaochen suddenly shouted in anger, “Are you calling me a fish?”
Dammit, although he had never really looked at her properly in three years, at least he had never lost his temper with her!
And yet, with Ye Shu appearing, he had inexplicably directed his anger at her!
Du Shiniang swallowed her feelings of grievance, “Husband, you know I didn’t mean that. I’m just saying that some people are skilled in tactics, gaining your attention through certain actions. The fact proves that she has indeed succeeded.”
This time, Sheng Shaochen did not continue questioning Du Shiniang. Instead, a slight smile appeared on his face unintentionally, “You are right, she has indeed succeeded in catching my attention…”
