Chapter 117 Relationships Must Be Cultivated with the Right Person
Faced with her approach, Feng Jiashu remained unfazed, pretending not to hear and offering no response.
Li Ma brought out the rice, and then the chef brought out the last dish of slow-cooked soup, and dinner began.
Ruan Shu warmly served food to Tian Tian, saying, "Children should eat more so they can grow."
Tian Tian, who was engrossed in her meal, looked up, glanced at Ruan Shu, and didn't touch the food Ruan Shu had picked up.
Ruan Shu wasn't discouraged at all. She turned around, picked up a few more shrimp, peeled them, put them on a small plate, and presented them to Feng Jiashu, saying, "Brother Jiashu."
At that moment, Feng Jiashu had just peeled a small plate of shrimp and was about to hand it to He Qiaoyun and Tiantian.
Looking at the peeled shrimp in front of him, Ruan Shu asked with sparkling eyes, "Did you peel these for me?"
Feng Jiashu said in a calm tone, picking up the small plate in front of him and offering it to He Qiaoyun and Tian Tian, "No."
Ruan Shu smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, I'll peel it for you."
Feng Jiashu wiped his hands and pushed the shrimp she offered back, saying, "No need, I don't like shrimp."
Ruan Shu glared at He Qiaoyun secretly, but could only swallow the shrimp she had peeled herself in frustration.
Seeing this, her aunt's impression of He Qiaoyun worsened, and she asked without any explanation, "What kind of work are you doing now?"
He Qiaoyun looked up, realizing she was being asked a question, and politely replied, "I have contracted a small plot of land in the countryside to grow fruit."
Aunt said calmly, "That's pretty much what I thought."
People are good at reading between the lines. He Qiaoyun saw disdain and disgust in her aunt's eyes, but unlike usual, she didn't confront anyone she disliked. After all, they were Feng Jiashu's family...
Ruan Shu put down her chopsticks, elegantly wiped her mouth, and said, "If you ask me, as a woman, you shouldn't be showing your face in public. You should stay at home and be a man's strong support."
He Qiaoyun couldn't help but laugh inwardly upon hearing this, but she still didn't refute it.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Ruan Shu asked Feng Jiashu, "Brother Jiashu, am I right?"
Feng Jiashu said, "How do you know that men want so-called support? Capable men will take on the responsibility of the family and be a support for women."
"Besides, women are human beings too. As human beings, they have their own life pursuits. Willing to be bound by trivial family matters will only make the relationship unequal and cause the two people to drift further apart."
"The best situation is when both people have their own careers and life pursuits, and they respect and support each other."
Ruan Shu's face immediately turned awkward, and she nodded repeatedly, "Brother Jiashu, you're right..."
Seeing Ruan Shu like this, her aunt couldn't help but shake her head inwardly. After her divorce, Ruan Shu lived off the small amount of money she received in the settlement. She hadn't had a proper job, spending her time posting videos and selling products online. Unlike He Qiaoyun, who had a real business to run...
However, none of that matters. All she needs to do is bewitch Feng Jiashu and smoothly take the position of the mistress of the Feng family.
No matter what means are used.
After dinner, my aunt didn't stay any longer and said goodbye.
Ruan Shu stood beside Feng Jiashu, seeing her aunt off together.
Butler Xu opened the rear door of the Bentley, and the nanny who had come with her aunt helped her into the car. Before Ruan Shu could get in, the nanny closed the rear door, then walked around the front of the car and got into the passenger seat.
As the passenger door closed, the car slowly drove away, leaving Feng Jiashu and Ruan Shu staring at each other in bewilderment.
Ruan Shu said shyly to Feng Jiashu, "My aunt said I should stay and take care of you..."
Feng Jiashu frowned. "I don't need your care. You can go back."
Ruan Shu took two steps closer to him, then lowered her head shyly: "Brother Jiashu, don't you understand what Auntie means? I'm willing to be with you."
Feng Jiashu took a step back and solemnly declared, "I don't like you. You should go back."
Ruan Shu pouted, looking defiant, "Brother Jia Shu, feelings can be cultivated, you'll gradually come to like me."
She emphasized the word "up," and after saying it, she gave him a flirtatious wink.
Feng Jiashu didn't want to talk to Ruan Shu. As he walked inside, he took out his phone to call his aunt.
The phone call didn't go through, but I received a text message from my aunt: "Jiashu, get along well with Ruan Shu."
Feng Jiashu frowned and replied, "Auntie, aren't you being ridiculous? Who sends someone directly to my house? Send her back immediately, I don't want her."
Aunt: [No, I can't watch you grow old alone. Ruan Shu is a well-behaved, obedient, and considerate person. It's time for you to find a mistress.]
Feng Jiashu: [I've already chosen a mistress, so you don't need to worry about it.]
Aunt: [The person you're referring to, is it He Qiaoyun?]
Feng Jiashu: [Yes.]
Aunt: [She can't.]
Feng Jiashu: [Why?]
Aunt: [She's not good enough for you.]
Because He Qiaoyun is not someone she can control, so naturally it won't work.
Feng Jiashu: [She's a good person, and she deserves it.]
After replying, he turned off his phone and turned around to see Ruan Shu following behind him. He said, "We're not a good match. You should go back."
Ruan Shu looked at him pitifully, "Brother Jiashu, I have nowhere else to go. You're all I have left. If you don't want me either, I'll have to sleep in the yard..."
Feng Jiashu had never seen such a shameless person. He didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he simply said, "Then let's sleep in the yard."
After saying that, he went inside to change his shoes, his eyes searching for He Qiaoyun's figure.
Ruan Shu, shameless as ever, followed him inside.
When Feng Jiashu saw her follow him in, his face showed displeasure. "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Shu caught a glimpse of He Qiaoyun walking down the stairs out of the corner of her eye, immediately took his arm, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Brother Jiashu, tonight..."
Feng Jiashu's gaze fell on He Qiaoyun, and he pulled Ruan Shu away, saying, "Don't hold me."
Seeing this, He Qiaoyun felt a mix of emotions, but her expression remained calm. She even smiled faintly and said, "I came down to get a glass of water. I apologize for disturbing you."
Ruan Shu generously replied, "I won't bother you."
Feng Jiashu, too lazy to waste words with Ruan Shu, caught up with He Qiaoyun and explained somewhat anxiously, "Auntie insisted on keeping her here; we can't get rid of her..."
He Qiaoyun smiled faintly, "It's fine, actually you two look quite well-matched."
Feng Jiashu was almost driven crazy by her indifferent attitude, but he still calmly explained, "What are you thinking? I don't like her."
He Qiaoyun remained calm, saying, "Feelings can be cultivated."
She felt bad saying those jealous words, but she really couldn't hold back.
Hearing her words, Feng Jiashu felt even worse. He said, "Relationships need to be cultivated with the right person. With her, it's impossible."
Upon hearing this, He Qiaoyun's mood underwent a complete 180-degree turn, but on the surface she remained as calm as a chrysanthemum, "Well, it's getting late, I'll go upstairs to wash up first, you should get some rest too."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of the kitchen, where she met Ruan Shu.
Ruan Shu looked directly at her, her eyes completely devoid of the previous coquettish demeanor, replaced by a hint of arrogance and haughtiness.
He Qiaoyun returned a calm smile, then turned away from her and went upstairs.
Ruan Shu changed her expression, walked into the kitchen, and asked Feng Jiashu with a smile, "Brother Jiashu, where am I staying tonight?"
Feng Jiashu didn't even glance at her, and with a blank expression, he said "Whatever" before walking out of the kitchen.
