Shen Qingyue made a sound of disapproval. “If I remember correctly, your father is still in police custody. Yet, here you are, enjoying yourself so much. What a dutiful son you are.”

When Shen Yiyan mentioned Shen Da, Shen Yiyan became even angrier. “You have the nerve to talk. If it weren’t for you, my dad would…”

Yan Xi pulled Shen Yiyan back. “There are so many people here, don’t make a scene.”

Shen Qingyue glanced at Yan Xi a few times, surprised that Yan Xi could endure more than Shen Yiyan. But she could sense that Yan Xi would be more difficult to deal with than Shen Yiyan, who could not hide his emotions.

Shen Yiyan was unwilling to back down, but he still followed Yan Xi’s lead. He glared at Shen Qingyue. “Just you wait. Your happiness won’t last long!”

Shen Qingyue remained indifferent. “Oh.” 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Her attitude only further infuriated Shen Yiyan. Yan Xi saw Shen Yiyan getting worked up and quickly stood in front of him. “Sister Qingyue, Yiyan brother is going to show me around the company. We’ll leave first.” She was afraid that Shen Yiyan’s temper would cause trouble. After saying that, the two of them quickly left.

Shen Qingyue turned back to her office. As she entered, she noticed a fresh bouquet of lilies on her desk. She called Yu Zhuang over. “Who sent these?”

Yu Zhuang, looking concerned, glanced at Shen Qingyue before replying, “Vice

President Yan sent them. She brought small gifts for everyone today.”

Shen Qingyue understood now. She had underestimated her. Walking over, she glanced at the flowers and casually picked out a lily, then suddenly smiled. She had indeed underestimated Yan Xi. Among the leaves, there were a few chubby caterpillars.

“Yu Zhuang, take this bouquet to the cafeteria. Have them use it to make some soup dumplings for me. When they’re ready, bring them to me. I’ll personally give Vice President Yan a return gift.”

Yu Zhuang was puzzled. “Do soup dumplings need flowers?”

Shen Qingyue lifted the chubby caterpillar with a flower stem. “But it needs meat too. Isn’t this perfect?”

After following Shen Yiyan for a round, Yan Xi’s ambition grew. Once Xu Fengzhi helped her deal with Shen Qingyue and the old man Shen Jun, this place would truly belong to her! The thought of her bright future made Yan Xi’s lips curl involuntarily. However, when she returned to her office, she found Shen Qingyue waiting for her. She greeted her with a friendly smile, “Sister Qingyue, what brings you here?”

Shen Qingyue leaned against the office desk, smiling gently. “I thought you might not have had breakfast, so I brought you something.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi’s eyes lit up. “What is it?” She had heard that rich people’s breakfasts were luxurious. Whatever Shen Qingyue brought, it must be something fancy.

Shen Qingyue opened the food box. “Fresh meat soup dumplings, just out of

the oven. Give them a try.”

Seeing this, Yan Xi’s smile faded a bit. She did not expect Shen Qingyue to bring something so ordinary. For someone who had been a pampered rich girl for over 20 years, this was nothing special. Nevertheless, she sweetly replied, “I’ll try them. ”

She took a soup dumpling and ate it in one bite. It was juicy and tasted good.

After eating one, Yan Xi could not resist and continued, “Where did you buy these soup dumplings? They’re delicious.”

Shen Qingyue smiled faintly. “They were made in the cafeteria.”

Yan Xi continued eating. “In the cafeteria? Are they pork-filled? I sense another flavor, very fresh…”

“Yes, they are pork-filled, but there’s something else added.” Shen Qingyue’s smile grew brighter. “It’s the lilies you gave me…”

Yan Xi suddenly realized what was happening. She looked at the soup dumpling in her hand and promptly vomited.

Shen Qingyue said calmly, “What are you doing? I kindly brought you breakfast, and you’re vomiting?”

Yan Xi retched for a while, but for some reason, maybe due to her haste, nothing came out. Thinking about having eaten the bugs earlier, she felt extremely nauseous. She leaned against the wall, questioning Shen Qingyue, forgetting her pretense, “What do you mean by this? I gave you flowers out of kindness, and you’re repulsing me like this? Have you gone mad?”

Shen Qingyue chuckled, “I always believe in reciprocity. Vice President Yan gave me a gift, how can I not reciprocate? That would be impolite.”

“Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?” Yan Xi, forgetting her disguise, yelled at Shen Qingyue, “I am Shen Jun’s biological granddaughter.. You, a wild seed picked up from outside, what status do you have to compare yourself with me? As long as I speak up, do you think you can still stay in the Shen family?”
