Chapter 265: Daring to Take Shortcuts in Front of the Real Deal

Shen Shichu’s hand quickly covered hers, squeezing tightly with a hint of warning, yet his handsome face was filled with deep affection.

Ye Shiqing was a little afraid of him, an instinctive dread grew within her, this man was becoming more and more incomprehensible to her.

Bian Xiaoxiao walked ahead, from a distance she saw Jiang Yu sitting on a chair, smiling as she handed over a pile of gifts, singling out one box.

“During my academic exchange in Y country, I came across this while shopping on an old street, and I thought the style was very beautiful, very suitable for you, but I don’t really understand these things, so I brought it back for you to see.”

Jiang Yu’s brows and eyes twitched slightly, glancing at it indifferently, “You’re thoughtful.”

“I know you don’t accept gifts as a rule, but this isn’t really a gift, not expensive.

It’s been such a long time since I saw you.

After all, it was you who promoted me in the association.”

Jiang Yu glanced at the remaining supplements and snorted coldly, “Who is it this time that you’re asking me to give a leg up to?”

Bian Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly and gave Ye Shiqing a look.

Ye Shiqing took a deep breath, “Grandma Jiang, I’m Bian Xiaoxiao’s apprentice.

I’m here to…”

“My surname is Jiang, with just a single character Yu.

I’m divorced, with no heir beneath me.

I don’t even have a son, so where does that leave a granddaughter as old as you?”

Ye Shiqing’s face turned pale, she hadn’t expected Jiang Yu to be such a thorn, her sharp remarks leaving Ye Shiqing flustered and at a loss for words.

Bian Xiaoxiao was secretly annoyed by this liability!

Since they had entered, the host hadn’t offered them a seat, nor a sip of tea; the intention to usher them out was obvious.

Bian Xiaoxiao dispensed with the pleasantries, “There’s a little matter.

Isn’t the association working with the television station on a classical dance competition?

Shiqing has always been the first-place winner.

I was thinking, letting her first get associated with the association.”

“No.”

Suddenly, a man’s mildly chastising voice reached everyone’s ears.

Pei Dongshi returned and swept his cold gaze over the three people’s faces, retracting it sharply from Shen Shichu’s direction, he spoke indifferently, “Elder Jiang had long since stopped interfering with the association’s affairs, but nobody dares to challenge her position as the president of the association.

Lady Bian should know it’s not that Elder Jiang is monopolizing the position, but that you all need someone like Elder Jiang to command respect.

Knowing fully well her strict style, you still dare to seek favors in front of her.

Has Lady Bian been in the social circuit for so long that she believes everyone can be bought?”

Jiang Yu lifted her brows slightly and exhaled a pale wisp of smoke from her mouth.

She reclined in her chair, the corners of her lips curving up slightly.

His words were like a slap, squarely hitting Bian Xiaoxiao’s face, her complexion turned ugly, but she was so overwhelmed by Pei Dongshi’s aura that she didn’t dare to respond.

“If you truly have the skills, then get in by passing the test.

Whether you can actually be admitted is another matter, especially since Mrs.

Shen’s personal integrity has been compromised.”

Ye Shiqing’s face flushed with anger, “It was clarified, the video was doctored.”

Pei Dongshi let out a mocking laugh, “Who cares!”

Shen Shichu, “Mr.

Pei, that was harsh.

There’s no need to give a woman such a hard time.

What does Shiqing joining the association have to do with you?”

Pei Dongshi retorted sharply, “You, Shen Shichu, are a person who wouldn’t act without profit.

Your ambition is written all over your face.

Don’t you know that Elder Jiang is the president of the business council?”

Shen Shichu, struck where it hurt, clenched his hand secretly, smiling ambiguously, “It seems I have no quarrels with Mr.

Pei.”

“The moment you entered Mist Garden, you picked a fight with me.”

Pei Dongshi spared no one’s feelings, “Dirty!”

Shen Shichu looked at him in astonishment.

Still in a daze, the servants carried their gifts back to the car, and politely showed them out.
