Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Open and Honest Pursuit of Her! Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Open and Honest Pursuit of Her! Leisure Inn, second floor, Qingwu was putting on makeup.
An international top-tier makeup team was invited by the Shen Family to serve Qingwu.
“Lady Shen’s face is just too beautiful, and her figure is fantastic. This is the slimmest waist I’ve ever measured!”
“OMG! This is definitely Nuwa’s graduation project! In comparison, my face is just a lump of mud she randomly pinched…”
In the makeup mirror, Qingwu’s face was adorned with a light makeup that further enhanced her stunning beauty, making it impossible to look away!
Zuo Wanjun was extremely pleased, “Darling, you’re gorgeous! As expected from my child!”
Shen Yurou walked in from outside and handed over her phone.
“Mom, Grandma needs you.”
Mrs. Shen’s powerful voice came through the receiver, “Qingwu, why didn’t you come to serve me today? Get to the hospital quickly!”
Zuo Wanjun felt a bit awkward and explained, “Mom, it’s Xiaowu’s birthday party today, and we’re taking her to meet many family friends later, so there’s really no time to go to the hospital. I’ll arrange twenty caretakers for you…”
“How can caretakers be as suitable as my own family? If Qingwu finds me, the old woman, annoying, just say so.”
Zuo Wanjun’s smile became stiff!
Qingwu spoke faintly, “I do find it annoying.”
Mrs. Shen: “…”
“Heh heh! I knew you found me annoying! But it’s no use! As long as you are a child of the Shen Family for one day, you must call me Grandma! Today, I don’t care what you are doing, you must come to the hospital! Otherwise, I’ll tell the reporters you’re unfilial and unworthy of being a child of the Shen Family!”
Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, “Don’t think I don’t know you stole my Buddha Beads. What a shallow-eyed brat…”
Zuo Wanjun scolded, “Mom, Xiaowu is Dongli and my biological child, your and Dad’s granddaughter. What do you mean by ‘brat’? It’s too much!”
“I don’t care, her conduct is improper. Even my Buddha Beads are gone! No idea who she inherited that from!”
Zuo Wanjun was almost amused with anger.
Mrs. Shen certainly wouldn’t speak ill of Shen Dongli, so she was implying her conduct was improper, making Qingwu turn bad!
Shen Yurou was about to die laughing!
“Qingwu, did you really take Grandma’s things?”
Her eyes were full of anticipation!
If Qingwu really took Mrs. Shen’s things, with so many people at the party today, the Shen Family definitely wouldn’t want a daughter with dirty hands…
Qingwu slightly frowned, her eyebrows looking as beautiful as an intoxicating landscape painting.
“The necklace on my neck is worth six hundred million, the earrings three hundred million, the bracelet one hundred million, and the dress is custom-made by Master Ye Yi, priceless. I wouldn’t care for a thirty thousand Buddha Beads.”
Mrs. Shen was furious, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m poor?”
“If you want to think that, I can’t help it. However, when I left yesterday, the Buddha Beads were on your wrist.”
Mrs. Shen always wore that string of Buddha Beads.
Whether or not Qingwu took them, she knew in her heart.
The makeup artists, hearing the value of the items on Qingwu, clenched their fists, almost stuffing them into their mouths.
Although they knew the Shen Family was a top dynasty, this kind of wealth was unbelievable!
Shen Yurou was abnormally jealous upon hearing the value of those items!
Why couldn’t these things all be hers!
As long as Qingwu was called away by Mrs. Shen and kept in the hospital, unable to return when the global livestream began, she would have to take her place, becoming the true daughter of the Shen Family!
Mrs. Shen’s voice carried a tone of anger, “So you’re saying you’re not coming today? I’m going to contact the reporters immediately to say that you’re unfilial and don’t acknowledge me as your grandmother!”
Mrs. Shen’s phone hung up with a snap.
The room was silent.
Is this the struggle of a wealthy family?
Would they be silenced?!
Zuo Wanjun couldn’t hold back and began crying in grievance, crying beautifully like a delicate flower in the rain.
“She used to treat me like this. Your father and I didn’t even have a proper wedding; your grandparents always felt the Shen Family was disgraceful… It’s been so many years, and they still refuse to step into the Shen Family…”
“Letting me wash clothes in the courtyard in the middle of winter, serve her, make food for her. Your grandparents never ate a meal I cooked! I wasn’t allowed at the table during meals…”
“When your elder brother was born, she only let me eat vegetables every day, not even giving me rice, saying I was fat… I almost suffered from postpartum depression, but luckily your dad took me away!”
“Why is she coming after my daughter now! I’ve had enough!”
Hearing their wife crying and mother and sister being wronged, Shens’ father and son rushed over.
Shen Dongli held Zuo Wanjun tightly, heartbroken.
“It’s all your fault, your mother is just too much! Tormenting me wasn’t enough, now she’s bullying my daughter! Shen Dongli, I’m telling you, if anything goes wrong at Xiaowu’s birthday party today, I’m divorcing you!”
“Divorce?! No way, honey, how could I live without you!”
Shen Boyi slightly frowned and looked at Qingwu.
“Sister, you don’t have to go, we’ll go instead.”
After all, Mrs. Shen just wanted to find fault.
Shen Yurou quickly spoke, “But Grandma wants Qingwu to go. Grandma doesn’t confuse people. Otherwise, I could go. I really don’t wish for Qingwu’s first birthday party back home to be interrupted…”
Qingwu spoke calmly, “It’s okay, I have a solution.”
She took out her phone and dialed Elder Shen’s number, briefly explaining what had just happened.
Elder Shen laughed, “Understood, enjoy your birthday. I’ll handle your grandmother.”
Elder Shen was not in good health and, due to his special status, generally did not appear at grand occasions.
Qingwu was somewhat skeptical, “Grandpa, are you sure?”
“What are you saying, watch and see what Grandpa can do!”
Elder Shen, feeling challenged, ran out of the ward immediately and went to Mrs. Shen’s ward.
He sternly said to the lying Mrs. Shen, “If Xiaowu can’t celebrate her birthday today, I’m divorcing you!”
The Shen Family members: “…”
Is that even possible?!
Would Mrs. Shen fall for this… she actually would!
Mrs. Shen remained silent for a moment, seemingly in disbelief, then burst into tears!
“You rotten old man…”
Elder Shen grinned at the phone and boasted, “Beloved granddaughter, is Grandpa impressive or not? Enjoy your birthday, Grandpa’s gift is on its way!”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Everyone in the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief, and Zuo Wanjun finally stopped crying.
Shen Yurou: “!!!”
Why would Elder Shen side with Qingwu?
They must not know her true colors!
As soon as the Shen Family found out Qingwu was secretly dating a small gangster who drove for DiDi, they’d surely be disappointed in her!

Leisure Inn, Dragon Building
Annie handed the gift to Pei Jue and bowed, “President Pei, the gifts for the Shen parents and Lady Shen are all ready, and the Blue Diamond necklace you acquired at the last auction is also packaged.”
“What for?”
Annie spoke confidently, “So that after you call off the engagement today, you can openly give a gift to Miss Qingwu! The necklace you bought at the last auction perfectly suits Miss Qingwu’s temperament, she will love it, and sense your heart!”
Pei Jue was somewhat tempted.
The Blue Diamond, hailed as the Queen’s Crown, was exceedingly rare, with its previous owner being the most noble princess of the Nordic Royal Family, a value beyond simple monetary assessment.
Just imagining Qingwu’s enchanting and captivating face adorned with that necklace… it indeed matched well!
“Give it to me together, after the engagement is called off, I’ll look for Qingwu.”
“Yes, may you win the beauty’s heart!”
Importantly, Miss Qingwu seemed every inch a fantastic boss lady!
