Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“When she came to look for Master, we talked to her. We didn’t speak to her for nothing. This woman had evil intentions.” When Zhong Ran mentioned Shen Lin, there was a tinge of disgust in his eyes.

Shen Qianshu walked to the golf course behind them alone and took out her phone. Using a mini voice changer, she made a phone call.

“Old Qian, it’s been long. Wanna come over to the casino and have some fun?” Boss Qian said merrily.

“I’m about to become blacklisted in your underground casinos! Every time I appear, you make huge losses. I’m so sorry.”

“Old Qian, every year, our casino earns quite a lot during our friendly matches. Don’t stand on ceremony. Is the friendly match still on as usual this year?”

“As usual.” Shen Qianshu made up. “Right, Boss Qian, I heard that the Shen Family owes you 150 million.”

“Old Qian, you are very well informed.”

“I heard it from… Ye Ling.” Shen Qianshu suddenly remembered about the boast. She was Ye Ling’s woman.

Boss Qian remained silent for a while and said, “Well… then you should know that us private banks only help with making connections between people. That sum belongs to the Lu Family.”

“Then do you know that your young nephew is using that money to mess around?”

“What?” Boss Qian’s voice deepened. “Old Qian, Youli never meddled into the affairs of our private bank. He’s just a rich and free man. Is this some kind of misunderstanding?”

“Hmm, it seems from this tone that Boss Qian does not know about this. Now that you do, I believe that you would settle these matters quickly. This thing is affecting someone important to me. I am at a loss too, and I’m helpless. Boss Qian, please kindly check with Qian Youli.”

“Sure, alright. Since Old Qian has already said so, I’ll definitely ask.” Boss Qian was a person with extensive experience. Shen Qianshu was indeed very nice around him, and he was not only like this because of the man behind her, Ye Ling. If this matter involved Ye Ling and the lord heard about it, he may not be able to bear the consequences.

Recently, Ghost Town had been on really good terms with AG. This was a signal.

Just as Shen Qianshu put down her phone, she received a call from Fang Xia.

Her heart sank.

She took a deep breath and tried to restrain the pain in her heart. “Qianshu? Can Mommy see you?”

“Sure.”

She entered the living room of the Rose Castle, and Ye Ling ordered Zhong Ran to do something. His face did not look good at all, and he looked very cold. Shen Qianshu felt her eyes hurting, and she walked over, hugging him by the waist and putting her cheek against his chest.

Everyone was speechless…

Zhong Ran and the others knew what to do, and they left the living room. Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, and in an awkward manner, he patted her head lightly. Whenever Tong Hua was sad or angry, he noticed that Qianshu always did that to him. Uncontrollably, his hands found their way on her head.

“Fang Xia called you?”

“Mmhmm.”

Ye Ling patted her on the head again and said calmly, “Let me settle it.”

“I want to see her.”

“What’s there to see? She’s definitely trying to set you up.”

“I, Shen Qianshu, am never afraid of being set up. Whatever will be, will be. I’m ready to fight!”

When Shen Qianshu said that she wanted to see her, she did. The next day, she met Fang Xia at a cafeteria straight after work.

Fang Xia’s face was really red, and she looked a little guilty. She seemed to be avoiding eye contact, and Shen Qianshu told herself that no matter what happened, whatever happened in the past belonged in the past. She did not want to hold on any longer nor did she want to sadden herself again.

She smiled at Fang Xia.

“Mom, looking for me?”

“Qianshu, when Mommy came to look for you the other time, I’m so sorry for hurting you.” Fang Xia looked at her. “All these years, I have been giving too much attention to Lin, and I neglected all your feelings. Please forget all of those unkind words. Believe Mommy, even if I am biased to Lin, I have never ever thought of pushing you into a fiery pit. I suggest that you move away. Stop living in the house you have been living in.”
