Chapter 559: Chapter 557: There’s No Shame in Losing to a Woman More Outstanding Than You
The servant followed Shen Cheng’s orders and fed the freshly stewed tonic soup to the stray dogs.
When Shen Cheng came downstairs for breakfast, she made a phone call to Sun Yan.
Sun Yan, who was fast asleep, heard the vibration of his phone, and almost reflexively sat up, not even bothering to check who was calling before picking up the phone.
"Boss, what are your orders..."
Perhaps because of the post-effects of delivering condoms at dawn, the only person in Sun Yan’s mind was ’boss’.
Because his existence was always to serve this one person.
"What boss, it’s me."
Shen Cheng frowned and without waiting for Sun Yan to speak, she said: "Bring Sweet Heart back to Du City."
"Young Madam, I’m not in Jiang City right now."
"Then where are you?"
"I’m in Du City."
"When did you come back?"
"I arrived early this morning, I even went to buy that thing for the boss..."
Speaking of which, Sun Yan suddenly paused, realizing he had said too much, and hurriedly retracted the phrase about the condoms.
"Hmm?" Shen Cheng raised her eyebrow.
"I just got off the plane and went to the 24-hour direct-operated store to buy a lighter for the boss, and also brought gifts for you, Young Madam, and the two young masters, I’ll deliver them shortly!"
Sun Yan suddenly admired his own quick thinking for finding such a clever way to respond.
Shen Cheng hung up the phone without saying a word.
At the same time, in the café.
In the VIP room, Ye Jin sat on the sofa, touching up her makeup in front of a mirror.
Opposite her, a woman in a black dress, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, reaching her waist.
She was stunning and ethereal, flawless from every angle.
Finishing her last stroke of eyeliner, Ye Jin put the mirror back into her LV handbag, her slender fingers playing with the eyeliner pen as she glanced up at the woman in front of her.
"Liancheng, actually I’ve always known you had feelings for Xiao Yu. Thus, ever since I married Yaoguang, I’ve been paving the way for you. All I’m doing is so that one day your name can appear in the Shi Family’s household register."
Gu Liancheng listened her words, yet his expression remained serious: "Since I was young, my parents have always taught me to be down-to-earth, to achieve what I want through my own efforts, not to take shortcuts or the wrong path. So I cannot be the third party."
"You silly child." Ye Jin smiled seductively, her fingers gently tapping on the table producing a rhythmic sound.
She looked at Gu Liancheng, smiling deeper: "I’m not asking you to approach Xiao Yu to become the third party. Don’t I, as your aunt, know your character well?"
Gu Liancheng slightly furrowed his brows: "Then what do you mean?"
"If they get divorced, separate, or become enemies for some reason. If you stay by Xiao Yu’s side as a suitor then, would that still count as being a third party?"
Ye Jin clearly understood her niece’s character; if she was encouraged to interfere in someone else’s relationship or destroy someone’s marriage, even for enormous benefit, she would not compromise.
She has her principles, her stance, and they are very firm.
This is also why she favored her.
Before Gu Liancheng could speak, Ye Jin continued: "Whether it’s physique, appearance, temperament, or background, that Shen woman doesn’t compare to even a ten-thousandth of you. Liancheng, losing to a woman better than you is not shameful. What is shameful is losing to a woman who is in every way inferior to you!"
