Shen Qianrou’s face paled.
Shen Fanxing snorted coldly and quipped, “Even a despicable person like you can’t do that in front of Madam. Pei, let alone someone else.”
Shen Fanxing said as she took a step closer to Shen Qianrou. Her voice was extremely icy as she said, “I don’t want you to get the investment. I thought I would spend some effort on it. But Shen Qianrou, I didn’t expect it to be so easy… Su Heng wants to use you to win the Pei Corporation’s investment? Ha… does he have brains?”
Shen Fanxing didn’t continue and flashed her an ambiguous smile.
Shen Qianrou felt a knot squeezing tighter in her heart. “What do you mean?”
Shen Fanxing shook her head and sneered with disdain. “Why should I tell you? Please continue with your performance.”
She then ignored Shen Qianrou and spun around to leave.
Shen Qianrou was shaking with anger. She had been careful from the beginning and didn’t dare to err at all. What right did she have to possess such a superior attitude?!
Shen Fanxing caught up with Ye Susu and after a short discussion, they decided to go to a cafe.
After asking Ye Susu for her preferences, Shen Fanxing didn’t order any pastries or cake. Instead, she asked for an ice cream.
She and Xu Qingzhi each had a serving as well. Shen Qianrou said she was on a diet, and so she asked for a glass of fruit juice.
Ye Susu was excited to see the ice cream. “I’ve always felt that shopping and ice cream are a perfect match!”
Shen Fanxing smiled and nodded. “That’s right. That’s the biggest reason why I agreed to go shopping with my friends on weekends.”
The more Ye Susu chatted with Shen Fanxing, the more chemistry she felt she had with her. After finishing the ice cream, the few of them resumed their shopping.
The three of them began to know each other better. They chatted and laughed like close friends on a shopping trip.
Shen Qianrou was the one being outcast.
She gripped the perfume and shopping bag in her hand. Her heels, which she had carefully selected this morning, had become a burden. Her feet and heart were aching terribly.
She gritted her teeth and persevered. Every time Ye Susu saw something she wanted to buy, she would always rush to buy it for her. During the entire time, Shen Fanxing and Xu Qingzhi stood quietly and didn’t do anything else other than giving Ye Susu advice.
Every time Shen Qianrou noticed that, she would feel that Shen Fanxing seemed rather awkward. She also felt that Shen Fanxing didn’t know how to seize the opportunity and had given the chance to her.
Shen Fanxing had gone shopping with someone. Besides treating her to a scoop of cheap ice cream, Shen Fanxing didn’t dare to say a word when the opportunity arose?
However, every time Shen Qianrou fought to pay, Ye Susu would politely reject her. In the end, Ye Susu had rejected her with a solemn expression.
Hours later, Shen Fanxing said, “I want to buy some local products back. Madam Pei, can you introduce any special ones?”
Realization dawned on Ye Susu. “Look at me… I wasn’t thoughtful enough. Come, I’ll bring you to take a look.”
In the end, Ye Susu bought and paid for some local products for the three of them.
Feeling awkward, Shen Qianrou looked at the plain-looking snacks in her hand and tried to reject them.
Shen Fanxing merely thanked her before accepting it. Xu Qingzhi didn’t reject her either.
“Thank you so much, Madam Pei. Next time if you come to Ping Cheng city, remember to call me. I’ll bring you around.”
“Sure, we can have ice cream together.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and said warmly, “That’s a must.”
Just then, a black luxury car stopped outside the mall.
