Chapter 57 Shen Wancheng's Deliberate Actions

"Wancheng, cousin, wait for me!"

Shen Yao said with a smile, "Short legs, walk faster."

Shen Mei glanced back and forth between her and Shen Yao, and said unconvinced, "You're not any longer than me."

Shen Yao laughed, "Haha, just kidding."

Shen Wancheng looked at the two of them, smiled, and turned to continue walking forward.

Shen Mei unconsciously looked at Shen Wancheng. The straight, wide-legged suit pants hugged her long legs. Although the outline of her legs could not be seen, they appeared straight and long.

By today's standards, Shen Wancheng is not tall, only 164 cm, but in today's southern region, she is already quite tall. Her clothing and style also make her appear taller, so it's normal for her to stand out in a crowd.

Shen Mei withdrew her gaze and walked side by side with Shen Yao, casually praising Shen Yao for her impressive horseback riding skills.

As Shen Wancheng spoke, she kept an eye on Shen Mei out of the corner of her eye. She saw that Shen Mei, who was chasing after her, paused for a moment after hearing what she said to Shen Yao before speaking.

Shen Mei must have taken what she said to Shen Yao to heart, and she must be feeling unfair and wronged.

Shen Wancheng made this judgment in her mind.

When Shen Wancheng said this to Shen Yao in front of Shen Mei, it was clearly different from her telling Shen Mei to learn to communicate more with the Filipino maid. In fact, it was Shen Wancheng's intention.

She wanted to test Shen Mei's reaction.

If Shen Mei had directly asked Shen Wancheng if she could learn from Shen Yao, that would have been quite honest.

But Shen Mei pretended not to hear, and what she was thinking was quite intriguing.

If others reacted this way, it might be because they felt that their participation would affect Shen Yao's learning progress, so they did not ask to study together.

But Shen Mei had been unable to suppress her jealousy towards them before, so she definitely wouldn't be so self-aware; she would only feel even more unbalanced.

Since Shen Mei's mentality was already unbalanced, she deliberately stirred up her jealousy to see what she would do.

After all, no one can guard against wolves forever; it's best to end things sooner rather than later.

However, Shen Wancheng is not an arbitrary person. Human nature is complex, and most people will have dark thoughts in their hearts at times. But most of the time, their conscience can suppress these thoughts and they will eventually digest them on their own.

Therefore, Shen Wancheng was both deliberately provoking Shen Mei's jealousy and giving Shen Mei one last chance.

Whether they part amicably or break off their relationship and become enemies depends entirely on Shen Mei's actions.

After getting into the car, Shen Yao said to Shen Wancheng.

"Sis, I saw Gu Jinxing downstairs this morning."

"Yes, Uncle Liu told me."

Uncle Liu is the driver who is currently driving Shen Wancheng and the others.

"Oh." Shen Yao patted the driver's seat and joked, "Uncle Liu, you're tattletales now."

Before Uncle Liu could speak, Shen Wancheng tapped Shen Yao.

"Uncle Liu is just worried that you might offend someone because you're not very sensible."

Shen Yao scoffed, "Hmph, with Gu Jinxing so eager to find you, he won't care how I treat him. If he's really angry with me, it means he wasn't sincere in looking for you."

After hearing Shen Yao's words, Shen Wancheng tilted her head and looked at Shen Yao seriously, asking, "Why do I feel like you don't dislike Gu Jinxing as much when you say this? You even seem to be speaking up for him?"

Shen Yao blinked. "Really? I think I still dislike him."

"If he were no longer lame or blind, would he still complain?"

Shen Wancheng didn't ask this casually. Based on her intuition and experience, she felt that Gu Jinxing's health problem was not permanent.

It's more likely that this is fake news released as part of a family power struggle.

If a normal person suddenly becomes disabled, it's impossible for their temperament to remain unchanged; they will still be calm and composed, and their work projects will continue to progress steadily.

In the previous life, the "Kowloon Wharf" project was a joint effort between Mr. Bao, who would later be known as the world's shipping magnate, and Mr. Li, the future Chief Executive of Hong Kong. The difficulty of this project can be imagined.

Judging from the current upward trend of this stock, it is clear that this project is progressing smoothly.

No matter how strong a person is, they should have time to process and digest both physical and psychological setbacks.

If Gu Jinxing were to become completely disabled, would he still be able to calmly and wisely lead the "Wharf Holdings" project while accepting this situation?

Then Shen Wancheng could only conclude that Gu Jinxing might not be human, but a god.

At the same time, because Shen Wancheng had this judgment about Gu Jinxing, she felt that Gu Jinxing also had ulterior motives towards her. The most likely reason was that her identity was also suitable for deceiving the outside world and showing weakness to the enemy.

The new generation leader of the Gu family is not only disabled, but also goes so far as to marry a village girl from the inland in order to win over Xu Pingtao of the He family.

After all, if Shen Wancheng hadn't transmigrated, given the original owner's experience growing up in a village until her teens, many people would have scrutinized her upon her entry into Hong Kong's so-called high society, waiting for her to embarrass herself and become a laughingstock.

Hmm... what those so-called upper-class people consider a joke.

If Gu Jinxing had spoken to her frankly and openly about things like cooperation and mutual benefit, Shen Wancheng might not have refused. But since he directly wanted to treat her like a fool and take advantage of her, Shen Wancheng was naturally unwilling.

Aside from the possibility that Gu Jinxing was using her, Shen Wancheng couldn't think of any other reason why Gu Jinxing would cling to her.

That's why Shen Wancheng asked Shen Yao what she thought if Gu Jinxing weren't disabled.

Shen Yao's answer was exactly what Shen Wancheng expected.

Shen Yao said, "Of course I don't mind. If Gu Jinxing hadn't suffered such a tragedy, he would be handsome, rich, and sincere. This kind of man is hard to find even with a lantern. Why would I mind him?"

Shen Mei, who hadn't asked, weakly chimed in, "I also think Sister Yao is right."

In fact, Shen Mei felt that even if Gu Jinxing were disabled, it wouldn't matter. If it were her, she would still be willing to marry Gu Jinxing and take care of him for the rest of her life.

But Shen Mei only thought these words in her heart and didn't dare to say them out loud.

Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's a pity he's disabled, you'll still look down on him."

Gu Jinxing's sincerity?

Is there even a sliver of truth in it?

A man's looks are 70% about how he dresses; when she has enough money, she can find any kind of man.

Shen Wancheng immediately dismissed Shen Yao's words in her mind.

*

Xu Pingtao originally intended to deliver the evening gowns directly to their residence, but Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao both wanted to choose them themselves, so they suggested going to the store to select them.

Xu Pingtao had already spoken to the store, so there were no scandalous incidents of staff looking down on people.

Because such evening gowns must be haute couture to match their status, the person who introduced and recommended the clothes to Shen Wancheng and the others was the brand's manager; ordinary sales assistants were not qualified.

What pleased Shen Wancheng was that haute couture in this era had not yet deviated from the norm and exceeded the imagination of ordinary people like it would in later generations. It was still just some ordinary and pretty dresses with complex workmanship, exquisite materials, and a bit of design.

Shen Wancheng chose a black long dress.

The form-fitting design perfectly accentuated her beautiful and tall figure, and the black color scheme, combined with Shen Wancheng's bright features, gave her a cool and glamorous look.

Shen Wancheng tried on the dress, and as soon as she stepped out of the fitting room, everyone present was full of praise.
