After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 42 Shen Xiujin makes Su Qianqian cry

Shen Xiujin stared intently at Jiang Mianmian, subtly observing her expression and demeanor, trying to find a flaw to prove that she was just going through the motions.

However, after observing her closely, he found that Jiang Mianmian's expression was very calm, without the slightest hint of guilt or evasion.

You should know that the truth of this matter could be revealed with just a little investigation. If Jiang Mianmian really intended to deceive, she would never have been so calm and composed.

Therefore, Shen Xiujin had no choice but to believe that what she said was true and that she was not deliberately deceiving him.

Immediately afterward, Shen Xiujin shifted his scrutinizing gaze to Su Qianqian, who was standing to the side. At that moment, Shen Xiujin instantly became wary of Su Qianqian.

He thought to himself: This woman is so cunning. Yesterday, her attempt to seduce him failed, and after learning that he was not living in the Marquis's mansion, she changed her strategy today and chased him all the way here.

Thinking of this, a cold smile involuntarily crept onto Shen Xiujin's lips.

He thought to himself: "So that's what they're planning. Do they want to keep entangled with me and try to slowly cultivate feelings for me so I'll fall in love? What a pipe dream!"

Hmph! Putting everything else aside, her actions alone are enough to make one feel disgusted.

A woman like her, who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals and is only interested in climbing the social ladder by attaching herself to the powerful, is utterly detestable.

Finally, Shen Xiujin could no longer suppress his anger and disgust and completely erupted.

His eyes flashed with a cold light, a mixture of anger and disgust. He pointed a finger directly at Su Qianqian and shouted angrily, "Get out of here right now and never show your face in front of me again!"

Shen Xiujin has always deeply despised women like Su Qianqian, who are scheming and attempt to climb the social ladder through improper means.

At this moment, his aversion to Su Qianqian had reached its peak; he felt utterly disgusted even by looking at her.

Shen Xiujin continued to point at Su Qianqian and shouted again, "Did you hear me? Get out of here right now!"

Su Qianqian, who was standing to the side, was completely startled by his sudden roar. Her body trembled involuntarily, and the shy and charming smile on her face froze instantly.

Immediately afterwards, tears streamed down her face, and her eyes turned completely red.

Even Jiang Mianmian, who was sitting next to him, was startled by Shen Xiujin's fierce appearance and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, what's wrong with you?"

Why are you being so mean to a girl all of a sudden? And in front of me no less! Are you doing this on purpose for me to see?

Before she finished speaking, she quickly stood up and stood in front of Su Qianqian, meeting Shen Xiujin's fierce gaze without fear.

"Don't you have to humble yourself and try to make them happy?" Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, feeling speechless at Shen Xiujin's impulsive behavior.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was secretly thinking to herself:

"Oh dear, you're such a fool. What's the point of all this? Once I leave, won't you still have to try and make that girl happy anyway?"

[I'm just giving you a friendly heads-up, hmph, what if she's pregnant? Then you'll be facing an incredibly difficult "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" ordeal!]

Jiang Mianmian's lips curled up slightly, and she let out a crisp chuckle, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Haha, this is getting more and more interesting! I wonder how the story will unfold; this juicy tale is sure to get even more exciting and intriguing!

Shen Xiujin rubbed his forehead with a helpless expression, inwardly groaning. He simply couldn't understand where Jiang Mianmian got the idea that he would like a woman like Su Qianqian.

Oh! Right, just then, he suddenly remembered that his older brother had once told him that Jiang Mianmian's predictions were always very accurate, and that his older brother himself had personally experienced and verified them.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiujin couldn't help but feel helpless and frustrated, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Sigh, since she knew her prediction was so accurate, why did she have to drag me into this 'experiment'!"

Then, Shen Xiujin subconsciously turned to look at Su Qianqian, only to see her standing there, looking pitiful.

However, for some reason, seeing Su Qianqian like this, Shen Xiujin's anger not only did not subside, but instead burned even more fiercely.

He cursed inwardly, "Hmph, this woman is such a troublemaker!"

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian, who had been quietly observing the two of them, suddenly spoke up: "Alright, alright, if you two have something to say, just talk it out. Stop arguing. I'm going out to look at some jewelry and stuff~"

After saying that, she chuckled and turned to walk towards the door. When she reached the door, Jiang Mianmian turned back, looked at the two of them, and gently closed the door.

"Hehe, I'll have to give you two enough space to resolve your conflicts and clear up any misunderstandings. I hope to see you two all lovey-dovey when I come in again later!"

But... I'm not going to just leave like that; she has to stay outside and keep watching the show.

She came all this way just to "watch the drama unfold," expecting to witness a spectacular show, but instead stumbled upon a scene of people trying to break up a fight.

Oh dear, the male and female leads have had misunderstandings for over ten episodes! Let them resolve these complicated emotional entanglements on their own.

So, when she went out, she thoughtfully closed the door tightly for them, hoping that no one would disturb them so that they could quietly clear up the misunderstanding and then continue to love each other smoothly.

However, she had no intention of simply leaving. She tiptoed to a spot a short distance from the door, found a relatively secluded location where she could observe the activity at the entrance of the private room, and continued to "eat the melon" with great interest.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiujin, inside the private room, was pounding with anxiety because he could clearly hear the woman's thoughts. Even through the door, they were clearly audible, making it difficult for him to ignore them.

However, at this very moment, Shen Xiujin's forehead throbbed with anxiety inside the private room. It was because he had clearly heard every single word of the woman's innermost thoughts.

Even though there was a thick door between them, the words seemed to have a penetrating power, going straight into his ears, and even if he didn't want to hear them, he couldn't stop them.

Oh dear, I should have left the door a crack! Now I can't hear anything.

[I'm so curious whether they're hugging and kissing yet... no, I should say, whether they've started cuddling. Ugh, this is so frustrating! She can't even see it, how annoying!]

[Wow, I missed such a rare live performance! Damn it, I'll make my ungrateful son replace you all later!]

However, the scene inside the private room was a complete reversal of the story she had described.

Shen Xiujin's usually cold and aloof face was now even more frighteningly gloomy, as if it could drip water.

His long, narrow, sharp eyes were fixed on Su Qianqian in front of him, and he asked in a cold, piercing tone, "Speak! How exactly did you get out of the Marquis's mansion? And how did you sneak into my shop?"

Faced with Shen Xiujin's sharp questioning, Su Qianqian's heart tightened, but she still forced herself to remain calm and replied, "I...I'm filling in for my fellow villager..."

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Xiujin snorted coldly, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips, and said, "Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Let me tell you, no matter what tricks or schemes you use, you won't succeed! I've seen plenty of treacherous women like you..."

These words were like a sharp sword piercing Su Qianqian's heart. She felt a surge of grievance and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Then, unable to contain her grief and indignation any longer, she burst into tears:

"Waaaaah... Shen Xiujin... you... you're not a man at all! How could you treat a weak woman so cruelly? It's too much, too much bullying!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qianqian trembled with anger. Without hesitation, she threw the still-steaming meat pie in her hand hard at Shen Xiujin.

Because of the excessive force, the meat pie flew through the air in an arc and landed squarely on Shen Xiujin's brand-new Shu brocade Wu silk shirt, immediately splashing oil stains and covering him in oil.

Seeing his newly changed clothes ruined, Shen Xiujin's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly enraged.

If the meat pie hadn't missed hitting his handsome face, he probably would have rushed up and torn Su Qianqian to pieces. Even so, his resentment towards Su Qianqian only intensified.

Meanwhile, after throwing out the meat pie, Su Qianqian seemed to have all her strength drained away. She covered her face with her hands, turned around, and ran towards the door.

She ran while sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
