Zheng Xiangjun was somewhat surprised.
She knew her daughter’s temperament better than anyone, and she never expected her to talk back so confidently. And she did it with such flair, you could see Mrs. Shen’s face completely fall.
Zheng Xiangjun couldn’t help but glance at Gu Lingling standing next to Wang Shuyun. Someone who didn’t know might think they were mother and daughter.
Many of Wang Shuyun’s changes seemed to have started after she met Gu Lingling.
This girl really is a lucky star for their family.
Gu Lingling pressed her lips together and smiled with her head down.
Zhou Mei never really considered Wang Shuyun, her sister-in-law, as someone worth her attention. She was always thinking of ways to outdo her, and it would be odd if Mrs. Shen didn’t have the same thoughts.
However, trying to outdo her with Shen Lingyu?
Better to bear with it for now.
"Yunfeng suggested several engagement dates, but I haven’t been quite satisfied," Shen Lingyu said with a smile. "Once we finalize the date, we’ll definitely let you know in advance."
A gentle yet firm rebuttal.
Wang Shuyun ruffled Gu Lingling’s hair and said with a smile, "That’s wonderful, I’ll be waiting for yours and Yunfeng’s big day."
"It’s absolutely outrageous." Mrs. Shen finally exploded with anger after walking some distance with Shen Lingyu, "That Wang Shuyun, that damned woman, just a woman whose husband is never around, what’s there to show off about?"
"Sooner or later, her husband will be taken by someone else. How dare she put on airs around me?"
"Just wait," Mrs. Shen spat, "let’s see how she holds her head up in the military district’s family quarters once Yang Aiguo leaves her."
"I’d die of shame already."
Only after muttering complaints all the way did Mrs. Shen find some relief, "Let me tell you, that little wretch isn’t anything good either, be careful around the Yang Family in the future."
"I thought a rural girl wouldn’t be a concern, but now it seems I misjudged." Mrs. Shen sighed here. "A rural girl can win over Yang Yunhai and even Zheng Xiangjun likes her so much. This girl is much more capable than that fool Wang Shuyun."
"What are you going to do in the future?" Mrs. Shen sighed and said.
"What to do?" Shen Lingyu sneered coldly, "Naturally, it won’t end until one of us is dead."
"Stop talking nonsense." Mrs. Shen pretended to hit her. "Think about your status, and what does she count for, there’s no comparison."
"Don’t you dare scare Mama like this."
"I won’t." Shen Lingyu laughed, "Zhou Mei might shout a lot, but she’s weak on the inside. I won’t be as useless as her."
All these years, the more Zhou Mei shouted, the more the old man favored Yang Yunhai.
"I see the elder lady in your house is quite formidable, consult her more often," Mrs. Shen advised.
Shen Lingyu nodded.
Ma Zhenxian’s rank is far above Zhou Mei’s, yet after all these years, she still hasn’t managed to educate Zhou Mei properly.
But since Yang Yunhai ignores her existence, there’s no need for her to hold on to past feelings. Besides, once she marries Yang Yunfeng, as husband and wife, they can only stand opposed to Yang Yunhai.
If she can’t have it, she might as well destroy it.
Gu Lingling wants it?
She shouldn’t even think about it.
Things Shen Lingyu doesn’t want, no one else should dare to take.
Shen Lingyu sneered coldly.
Gu Lingling, who was accompanying Zheng Xiangjun on a walk, suddenly felt a chill on her back.
