Jiang Chun smiled sweetly at Yang Ting. Although the two of them did not know each other, they both knew who the other was.

Yang Ting originally did not think much of Jiang Chun, but recently, she had also heard that the Jiang family had made a huge move. Perhaps the Xu family would be annexed in the future. At that time, Jiang Chun might also have the ability to compete with her to see who was Mrs. Shen.

Thinking of this, Yang Ting asked disdainfully, “You chased Shen Jun all the way here? Are you really so persistent?”

However, Jiang Chun was not angry at her words. Instead, she smiled even more gently. “You’re mistaken. Shen Jun and I are just friends. There’s nothing else.”

Gu Yue, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it. She often followed the news on the Internet. Jiang Chun’s little tricks had already been exposed, yet she could still boast shamelessly?

She said disdainfully, “The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is indeed impressive. The fact that she pursued Shen Jun and made others take the blame was even exposed. How can she say that she’s just a friend? What a b*tch! You deserve it if your arm doesn’t recover!”

As expected, an unnatural expression appeared on Jiang Chun’s face. She subconsciously touched her arm, then immediately smiled and said, “Shen Jun knows that I was framed. That’s why he accompanied me to the surgery before school started. It was the day of Wen Nian’s opening ceremony.”

She combed her hair again and said naturally, “We’ve been friends since we were young. There’s nothing complicated between us. It’s just that Wen Nian can’t stand me. After all, Shen Jun is probably her only chance to enter the upper-class society. Unlike Miss Yang, who was born in the upper-class society, and the Yang family has always supported the Shen family.”

Hearing her words, Yang Ting’s expression clearly improved, but she still had some reservations in her heart. “If you don’t covet Shen Jun, why would Wen Nian target you?”

“Isn’t she targeting you? As long as the people around Shen Jun are putting her at a disadvantage, she will target them.” Jiang Chun smiled helplessly. There was no scheming in her eyes, only sincerity. “I’ve said it before. She’s such a capable woman. I do have feelings beyond friendship for Shen Jun, but I’ve never thought of becoming a couple with him. I know I can’t reach Shen Jun, but some people don’t know.”

Yang Ting snorted coldly but did not say anything. She knew that Jiang Chun was right. The Jiang family was not a preeminent family, and Jiang Wei’s reputation in the circle was not very good. They were not in the same social circle as the Shen family, so no matter how she looked at it, Jiang Chun had no chance of winning.

When Jiang Chun saw that both her and Gu Yue’s expressions had softened, he said, “Shen Jun has indeed been bewitched, but the Shen family won’t be bewitched. I heard that Old Mr. Shen is coming back and will be attending an auction. Miss Yang, let’s meet again then, right?”

Gu Yue was baffled by her words. “What’s wrong with Old Mr. Shen coming back? What does she mean by this?”

However, Yang Ting understood what she meant. Although Shen Jun’s father was the only son in the Shen family, as long as Old Mr. Shen did not agree, Wen Nian would not be able to marry Shen Jun no matter how capable she was!

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. She’s here to remind me,” Yang Ting said with a smile.

Meanwhile, in the Shen family’s villa, Old Mr. Shen sneezed several times. “I wonder who’s scolding me behind my back! I’ve just returned and I’m already being scolded? Is it because you don’t want me to come back?”

Seeing his father glaring at him, Shen Mo was a little speechless. “Dad! I am more than happy to see you back. How could I scold you? How would I have the guts?”

Zhao Jiao also took out a plate of braised chicken feet from the kitchen with a smile. “We’re all looking forward to your return! Come and try this. This is braised chicken feet and pig trotters sent by your granddaughter-in-law’s family. It’s super delicious!”

“Why is there more? Didn’t you say that you’ve finished eating?” Shen Mo was a little unhappy, but he had already reached out his hand when Zhao Jiao hit him.

Old Mr. Shen looked at the three braised chicken feet and half a braised pork trotter. He frowned and said, “That’s all? Why is there still half a pork trotter?”

Zhao Jiao didn’t feel embarrassed and said directly, “There was originally a braised pig head! In the end, during the opening ceremony of Wen Nian’s filming, the director wanted to use the pig head as an offering and snatched our family’s pig head away. I heard from the staff at the scene that the pig head meat is especially fragrant. Many people didn’t manage to snatch it. When Jin Ting went back, she even complained to her mother that she was Wen Nian’s right-hand man and didn’t even get to eat a single pig hair. Look at these now. I left them from Shen Mo and his son.”

Old Mr. Shen picked up a braised chicken foot and started munching on it. Shen Mo, who was watching from the side, swallowed hard.

Meanwhile, Shen Jun and Wen Nian, who were carrying the ingredients, had just arrived at the Shen family villa when they heard an old man’s loud voice.. “Sun Zhi is too much of a bully! That’s the braised pig head of the Shen family!”
