Chapter 682: 186: All the stars surround the moon, infinite scenery_2
Arguing further has no point.
Today was supposed to be a day of joy, Old Mrs. Shangguan didn’t want to bring up these unpleasant matters.
But Shangguan Furong had truly overstepped her bounds.
She just up and left without a word, what would Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui think of that?
Old Mrs. Shangguan continued, “Zhao Shen, there are times when a man should stand tall. Don’t let her keep bullying you!”
Zhao Shen nodded, “Mom, I understand. Don’t worry, Furong isn’t that unreasonable of a person.”
Old Mrs. Shangguan let out a soft sigh, “I know exactly what sort of person she is. Now, I heard that Furong and Lin Fang have been getting pretty close lately?”
“It seems that way.” Zhao Shen continued to nod.
Old Mrs. Shangguan continued, “Lin Fang is a very calculating person, she acts one way from the front, and another from the back. When it comes to guile, Furong can’t outplay her. I’ve already warned Furong, and you should also be wary of Lin Fang.”
Shangguan Furong is the type of person that wears her flaws on her face, she speaks her mind, if she had a bit of cunning in her, she wouldn’t just up and leave without even saying hello.
Whilst Lin Fang is rotten to the core, the type of person who acts like a human in front of others and a devil behind their back.
These two people simply aren’t on the same level, Shangguan Furong isn’t a match for Lin Fang.
Zhao Shen understood the implication behind Old Mrs. Shangguan’s words, “Alright mom, don’t worry, I’ll be mindful.”

Old Mrs. Shangguan nodded, “Good, with your words, I am reassured.”
In reality, Zhao Shen is a very clever person.
Otherwise, the Zhao Family would not have lasted as long as they have, but rather, they continue to flourish.
The reason he carries no weight in Zhao family matters and always listens to Shangguan Furong, is simply because he’s in love with her.
He truly likes Shangguan Furong.
Back in the day, he paid quite a price to marry Shangguan Furong.
Taking advantage of Zhao Shen’s love for her, Shangguan Furong does as she pleases in the Zhao Family, acting arrogantly and willfully, even old Mrs. Zhao has to live at the mercy of her moods.
Zhao Shen continued, “I’ll go speak with my brother and sister-in-law now, so they won’t misunderstand Furong.”
“Mmm.” Old Mrs. Shangguan nodded.
After the engagement ceremony ended.
Ni Yang and Mo Qishen escorted Georgia and Mr. Abner to the door.
Shangguan Dehui and Ni Cuihua were seeing off the other guests.
Mo Qishen stepped forward, embodying the true gentleman as he held the car door open for them, “Please.”
Georgia was holding onto Ni Yang’s arm, she leaned in and whispered, “Yangyang, you have a wonderful boyfriend!”
It was evident from Mo Qishen’s words and actions, that he truly cared for Ni Yang.
Mr. Abner looked at Mo Qishen, “Yangyang is my mother’s goddaughter, so wouldn’t that make us somewhat like brothers?”
Mo Qishen gave a slight nod, “It is my honor.”
Mr. Abner said, “Being able to call myself brother to Mr. Mo is my honor.”
Though others were unaware of Mo Qishen’s status, Mr. Abner certainly was.
Three years ago, he had seen Mo Qishen once at a large gathering in F Country.
He was surrounded by a crowd, like the moon surrounded by the stars, full of glamour!
Simultaneously, he was also the only Chinese person there.
How could such a person possibly be a wastrel?
Watching the car driving away, Ni Yang tugged on Mo Qishen’s sleeve, “Brother Mo, did you and Mr. Abner know each other ahead of time?”
Mo Qishen gave a slight nod, “I did meet him once a couple of years ago in F Country.”
Ni Yang laughed, “No wonder I felt something off about the way you two were interacting at the party.”
“Yangyang, are you jealous?” Mo Qishen threw his arm over Ni Yang’s shoulder, smiling as he asked.
Ni Yang said helplessly, “You’re thinking too much…”
Mo Qishen lowered his gaze and stole a quick kiss on her cheek, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.
Ni Yang glared at him, “We’re in public, mind your image, careful people see.”
Though Beijing wasn’t as conservative in 1984, public displays of affection were still a rarity…
“Then we’ll do it secretly in the future…”
All these events were noticed by Shangguan Xu from the second floor.
Ni Yang was an exceptional person, as her older brother, he should shoulder his responsibilities and make sure she doesn’t end up with some worthless man.
Luckily, Mo Qishen wasn’t as despicable as the rumors suggested.
Shangguan Xu’s eyes hardened and he took a swig of his drink.
Zhao Family residence.
When Zhao Shen returned, Shangguan Furong had just finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom.
