Chapter 11: Confrontation

In the living room, Tang Qiaoqiao and Hu Hong sat face to face.

Tang Qiaoqiao calmly glanced at the teacup in front of Hu Hong.

"Auntie Wang, it's rare for guests to come to our place. What kind of tea did you bring to them? Re-make it, use those top-quality tea leaves in Shen Yue's collection," Tang Qiaoqiao smiled gracefully, "Don't let others think we are negligent."

"Okay, Madam." Aunt Wang respectfully took away the teacup.

Hu Hong looked suspiciously at the woman in front of her. Everything was completely different from the scenario she had envisioned.

How could Tang Qiaoqiao come down from the second floor? According to her sources, Tang Qiaoqiao lived on the first floor ever since she got married. The second floor was Shen Yue's domain—she wasn’t allowed to enter.

Moreover, she and Shen Yue should not want to see each other, but now she put on the madam’s act. Even Aunt Wang listened to her, even though she was a senior servant transferred from the main house.

Aunt Wang made tea again and brought it over. Tang Qiaoqiao said, "Sister-in-law is usually so busy, why are you free to come over today?"

Hu Hong constricted her expression and said in greeting, "I came to see you. You've been married for so long, have you gotten used to it? Have you been getting along with Shen Yue?"

Tang Qiaoqiao replied while pretending to smile shyly, "We are fine. He can't live without me, even for a day."

She didn't lie. Shen Yue could only eat her cooking now. He couldn’t live without the food she cooks.

Meanwhile, the door of Shen Yue's room on the second floor was open wide. Shen Yue could hear the conversation downstairs very clearly.

'Can't live without her for a day???'

'Tang Qiaoqiao is not ashamed to say this?'

"That's good," Hu Hong said, "The old lady and your eldest brother are very concerned about Shen Yue's body. Have you get a doctor to check on him recently?"

Tang Qiaoqiao: "There is nothing wrong with his body. We just need to take care of him and nurse him back to health."

A weasel gave a New Year's greeting to the rooster. This was definitely not sincere. How could Hu Hong know if Shen Yue went to a doctor for a checkup In the past, every time a doctor came for an examination, he had to report everything to her and her husband, Shen Yong, so they would know Shen Yue's physical condition in real-time.

It's a pity that this concern was not because of a deep brotherhood but Shen Yong's eagerness for Shen Yue to lie down in bed for a lifetime.

Shen Yue had been favored by the Shen patriarch and madam since he was a child. After the death of the Shen patriarch, the old lady took this baby son very seriously. If he hadn't had a car accident, Shen Yue would have taken over the leadership of the Shen group long ago, but now, Shen Yong ha taken over this position.

However, due to the shares still held by the old lady and Shen Yue, Shen Yong and Hu Hong remained fearful of Shen Yue. Later, the old lady was sent out of the country in the name of recuperation. In this way, the couple could control the disabled Shen Yue in the palm of their hands.

"It seems that it was really good that Shen Yue married you." Hu Hong said with twitched eyes.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled. "I think so too."

'She has no shame!' Shen Liang curled his lips in disdain.

Tang Qiaoqiao: "My nephew, why is your face always twitching? Is there something wrong? You have to go and see the doctor if you are sick."

Shen Liang: "Whose face did you say has something wrong?"

"Maybe I saw wrong," Tang Qiaoqiao took a sip of tea slowly, "How can an actor with facial paralysis have such a rich expression on his face?"

Shen Liang was furious Tang Qiaoqiao called him an actor with facial paralysis. "Tang Qiaoqiao, don't be shameless. If it wasn't because of grandma, I would be too fucking lazy to step in here."

"Oh, the old lady asked you to come to apologize. You could have said it earlier, no need to waste so much time. Apologize quickly, my nephew." Tang Qiaoqiao said the last two words with deep meaning.

Shen Liang stood up and said, "Don't think that you can fly onto a tall branch and become a phoenix by marrying into the Shen family. A pheasant will always be a pheasant."

Tang Qiaoqiao: "That is completely correct. A pheasant will always be a pheasant. This should be said to your sweetheart, Tang Rou."

Shen Liang's face changed, and Hu Hong sensitively grasped the meaning, "Tang Rou? What do you mean?"

Tang Qiaoqiao covered her mouth with an innocent expression. "Oh, you don't know that Tang Rou is... Well, just treat it as if I said nothing."

Hu Hong was even more puzzled.

Shen Liang's expression was ugly. Hu Hong paid great attention to the right family lines. If she knew that Tang Rou was not the daughter of the Tang family at all, she would definitely oppose their relationship.

Shen Liang tried to change the subject. "Don't talk about Tang Rou. It's impossible to ask me to apologize to you. It's obviously you who entangled me first."

"My nephew, you can't talk nonsense. I'm not blind." Tang Qiaoqiao was full of disgust. Who knows how the original owner could love such a brainless and irritable man like him.

Shen Liang was insulted by her disgusted expression. "You!"

Hu Hong temporarily suppressed her doubts about Tang Rou and interrupted her irritable son, "In fact, there is no need to apologize about this matter. We are all a family. It's over."

"But I want to declare that the Shen family is a family with a face and a reputation to maintain, not a nouveau riche. Especially Shen Liang, who is a big star, and his personal reputation is very important. You are also in the entertainment circle. I hope you will remember to mind your status: stop causing any nasty scandals and losing the face of the Shen family."

Finally, Hu Hong's purpose was finally revealed, that is, to use this opportunity to blame her.

Tang Qiaoqiao calmly said, "Did my nephew hear what your mother said? Remember my identity in the future. Don't forget that I am your aunt, and you have to honor your elders."

Shen Liang was so angry that this woman was so capable of changing the concepts of right and wrong.

She added to Hu Hong again. "As for the scandal, it's better to worry about your son than to worry about me. Remind Tang Rou to keep it secret and not expose everything on her alternate Weibo account."

In the original novel, Tang Rou opened a secondary account to record the sweet moments of her relationship with Shen Liang, which was later discovered by fans, exposing the relationship and causing an uproar.

Shen Liang sneered. "She doesn't have a secondary account. Do you think everyone is like you? Admiring vanity and playing schemes."

"Don't be so confident. You can ask her."

Tang Rou had been running this account for a long time. Was it intentional? Well, Tang Qiaoqiao could only say that her sister was very smart.

Hu Hong questioned Tang Rou fervently. "What the hell is Tang Rou doing? Doesn't she know that a girlfriend of a major celebrity must be low-key?"

Shen Liang became anxious. "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense. Tang Rou does not have a secondary account. She is jealous, jealous that I have a good relationship with Tang Rou, and she can only marry a disabled person."

"What are you talking about!" Tang Qiaoqiao sternly said, "It doesn't matter if you don't respect me, but to think you would slander your own uncle! Sister-in-law, is this your so-called family respect?"

Shen Liang regretted it soon after the words left his mouth. He looked around with a guilty conscience, but fortunately, his uncle was not there.

But he didn't know that Shen Yue could hear him from upstairs.

As far as he was concerned, the word "disabled" would no longer affect his mood, but Tang Qiaoqiao's next words seemed to throw a stone in his heart, causing waves upon waves.
