The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today-Chapter 1019: Retribution Will Come in Its Due Time

Shi Jiaojiao’s face was half red, and tears were streaming down.

She cried, "Mom, are you crazy? I should apologize? What did I do wrong that I have to apologize? Do you know how much I’ve hated her recently? If it weren’t for you stopping me, I would’ve fought her already. Now, I’m lowering myself, yet she acts all high and mighty. I’m fed up, I refuse to endure any longer, and I don’t want to see her face anymore. This life, she and I will be at odds forever!"

Li Guirong was so angry she was about to raise her hand, but Shi Jiaojiao wasn’t foolish enough to let herself be hit.

She grabbed her bag and stormed out of the café, ignoring Li Guirong’s calls.

Shi Nuan sat there quietly, her gaze lowered, having not said a word, only sighing inwardly.

She guessed that Li Guirong must have seen some news lately, about Shen Zui for example.

Lately, both she and Shi Jiaojiao had stayed out of sight, mainly observing how things would develop.

They wanted to see how Song Yansheng would treat her after the Shen Zui incident, and in reality, he hadn’t done much to her.

This likely made Li Guirong restless. She was starting to genuinely feel scared and wanted to repair their relationship in the quickest and most direct way.

But while she could tolerate it, Shi Jiaojiao could not.

Especially with the recent Shen Zui incident, Shi Jiaojiao must truly despise her.

As she said herself, if it weren’t for Li Guirong holding her back, she would have already fought her.

After Shi Jiaojiao ran off, Li Guirong took a deep breath, sat back down, and said to Shi Nuan, "Nuannuan, don’t take it to heart. Your sister... your sister’s temper has been spoiled by me. She genuinely wants to mend things with you..."

"Auntie..." Shi Nuan interrupted Li Guirong, saying, "Whether the relationship between Jiaojiao, you, and me can be repaired, we all know clearly. Right now, I am indeed dependent on Song Yansheng, but I’m not using him for revenge against you, as Auntie might think. I heard Auntie went to Nanhua Temple for some peace and quiet recently. Thus, Auntie should also understand this principle: The wheel of heaven turns, everything has its cause and effect, and it’s not that there won’t be retribution, just that the time hasn’t come."

Li Guirong’s eyes trembled, but Shi Nuan stood up calmly, saying, "Auntie, thank you for the coffee. Although I only drank a few sips, it did taste good - bitter with a hint of astringency, and yet astringent with sweetness... quite nice. I’ll be off then, Auntie!"

With that, Shi Nuan didn’t wait for Li Guirong’s response and left the café.

Li Guirong sat there, watching Shi Nuan’s departing figure, her fingers slowly clenching on the table.

The hatred in her heart could not be dispelled!

Li Guirong had to admit that bringing Shi Jiaojiao to apologize to Shi Nuan was indeed because she felt Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan’s relationship was somewhat different.

At least, it was different from the usual so-called patronage.

Especially the Shen Zui incident, which made her even more puzzled about this point.

Besides this, another thing was that Shi Yuanbo had been a bit cold towards her lately.

No matter how seductively she dressed, he didn’t seem to have much interest in her.

She just thought Shi Yuanbo wasn’t feeling well and didn’t think much of it until one night in a dream, she heard Shi Yuanbo call out Xu Hua’s name...

For so many years, it had rarely happened. Now, he suddenly missed his ex-wife, and behaved this way towards her, which couldn’t help but sound alarm bells in Li Guirong’s mind.

So she came to find Shi Nuan, but the result now was somewhat outside her plans.

This girl Shi Nuan really annoyed people, just like her dead mother... annoying!
