As she came downstairs, the butler was talking to Guo Lan, and Rong Qingqing overheard that the parents of the troublemaker from last night, Jingjing, had come over.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing walked straight over and interrupted Guo Lan’s conversation.
"Why bother meeting them? Does the Shen Family just let any random people drop by whenever they want?"
Rong Qingqing linked her arm with Guo Lan’s and whispered, "Aunt, we shouldn’t waste time on people like them. If we meet them, it’ll just be pointless anger. If they want to stand at the entrance of Shen Manor waiting, let them be, as long as they don’t come in to bother us."
The butler was sweating, while Rong Qingqing continued, "There’s no need for the butler to feel troubled. Just convey what I said as is. No one’s afraid of a few random people, right?"
After finishing her words, Rong Qingqing pulled Guo Lan along, trying to divert Guo Lan’s attention elsewhere.
But before Rong Qingqing had even finished her breakfast, the butler entered again.
"Madam, Young Master, Miss Qingqing, the old lady requests that you come to the front room; she says there’s a misunderstanding that needs clearing up, and sitting down together to resolve it would be best."
Rong Qingqing responded dismissively, "Did the old lady invite those people from outside in?"
Guo Lan felt a bit angry, but since the old lady had intervened, she had no choice but to compromise.
"Aunt, don’t be upset." Rong Qingqing patted the back of Guo Lan’s hand; her gentle nature often made her easy to bully.
Rong Qingqing raised her head towards the butler, "Tell the old lady that we feel very guilty for disrupting Shen Xingwei and Rong Jiaojiao’s engagement party yesterday,
so we’re going to stay home to reflect on our actions, and once we figure out where we went wrong, then we’ll step out of this door again."
The people in the room were stunned, silent as a flock of sparrows.
In that moment, Rong Qingqing showed her superior skills.
The words were crafted such that not a single flaw could be found, yet truly capable of infuriating someone.
Even Shen Jue’s lips subtly curled into a faint, almost indiscernible smile.
As for the person brazenly claiming to reflect behind closed doors, she had finished breakfast and then flamboyantly drove out in a new red car.
The 4S shop had delivered the car yesterday evening. As Rong Qingqing got into the car, seeing the box placed on the back seat made her mouth twitch slightly.
She’s now getting a headache just thinking about this thing, and her eyes hurt at the sight of it.
Chasing a momentary thrill yesterday, Shen Jue was so mad at her that he’s been ignoring her ever since.
Whatever, let’s put the stuff in the apartment for now. Next time she sees that handsome beggar, she’ll give it to him and see if he still calls her stingy.
Halfway down the road, Rong Qingqing received a call back from Zhang Tan, who had not returned her call immediately after contacting Shen Jue yesterday.
Instead, he went and researched other material and compiled it all before he called Rong Qingqing to give her a heads up.
"You’ve acted pretty quickly." Rong Qingqing thought it would take three to five days at least.
After some thought, Rong Qingqing tentatively asked, "You didn’t tell anyone about what I asked you to look into, did you?"
"Miss Rong, you can doubt my looks, but you cannot doubt my professional ethics!"
Zhang Tan was feeling so indignant, "I swear, if I told this to anyone else, may I be struck by five bolts of lightning and die an awful death!"
"..." Rong Qingqing had countless system-filtered words in her heart.
Who asked him for his stupid professional ethics?
Feeling thoroughly displeased, Rong Qingqing hung up on Zhang Tan in frustration.
She almost got an internal injury from the anger.
