Chapter 497: Chapter 496: The less you seek, the more dangerous it is Chapter 497: Chapter 496: The less you seek, the more dangerous it is After Shen Yiyao entered, she looked around but didn’t find Lu Mian’s figure and subconsciously understood her status in the Xiao Family.
If Madam Xiao had been satisfied with her, she would have definitely brought her out to meet the guests by now.
A commoner who didn’t even have the privilege to meet the guests, what kind of status could she have in the Xiao Family?
The more she thought about it, the clearer it became to her, and when she called for Qi Zhen, her demeanor became increasingly sweet and obedient.
As the daughter of a first-tier family, the Shen Family, and with her sister married to the Supreme Clan’s Ye Family, their Shen Family’s development was prospering rapidly.
Now, only her status was truly worthy of the Xiao Family.
The people of the Xiao Family were not fools; they knew with their eyes closed what kind of daughter-in-law they should choose.
Qi Zhen exchanged pleasantries with Mrs.
Shen, Huang Lijun, for a few sentences.
Shen Yiyao, standing by the side, echoed them and her eyes involuntarily stuck to Xiao Qimo.
Eventually, unable to contain herself any longer, she hurriedly took out the calligraphy she had prepared in advance and boldly walked towards Xiao Qimo.
“Brother Qimo, I’ve written a pair of couplets; would you help me look them over?”
Xiao Qimo couldn’t have been more indifferent, his mind occupied with thoughts of Lu Mian and Yun Sang, and he responded with little patience.
“I don’t understand.”

Qi Zhen looked helplessly at his son, knowing his personality all too well.
But she had her own plans and thus smiled with pursed lips, “Qimo, why don’t you take Miss Shen to your grandfather’s tea room and help her have a look.”
Xiao Qimo frowned and squinted his eyes towards Qi Zhen, resisting more strongly than ever before.
Qi Zhen looked back at him with a gentle smile.
But those gentle and beautiful eyes hid a sharpness and clarity that saw through everything, seemingly carrying a subtle warning.
Xiao Qimo had his own ideas, but he also placed great importance on his family and those significant to him.
Taking a deep breath, he compromised in the end.
He didn’t know what act his mother was putting on today; she knew he brought his girlfriend home, yet she still asked him to entertain another girl.
After all, it was just a pampered miss; she couldn’t turn the skies upside down.
Xiao Qimo left with a dark face, not saying a word, heading towards the tea room.
Qi Zhen watched his reluctant figure, hiding a trace of disdain in her beautiful eyes, and cursed the little brat inwardly.
Shen, Huang Lijun, was also somewhat surprised.
Her youngest daughter’s affection for Xiao Qimo was known to the whole family, and they did not oppose it.
If this match could be made, it would surely be for the best.

How could she have forgotten?
Xiao married into the Xiao Family, she, too, didn’t have any impressive status, a total Cinderella reversal story.
Back then, the elders of the Xiao Family protected her, the Family Head wanted no one but her, but the main branch of the Xiao Family never accepted her.
