After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 481: The Older, the Wiser

From the internal network’s scorecard, the other boutiques had sold only up to two sets, and it wasn’t even Ye Shu’s number one boutique, but Du Shiniang’s number two!

"Ha-ha, Ye Shu, that little bitch’s number one boutique, still has zero sales yet dares to claim she will beat us; it’s simply hilarious!" Mrs. Han said with a face full of accomplishment, whispering to Han Ruixin, "Daughter, you have no idea, I paid off the woman who sends out the information. Otherwise, how could our number three boutique have landed in our lap so smoothly?"

Han Ruixin said, "Mummy, be more careful next time, if Grandma finds out, I’m afraid..."

"What’s there to fear? Grandma would be thrilled if we win quickly!" Mrs. Han replied, then glanced at the internal network again. Seeing their number three boutique still far in the lead, she yawned, "Now I can finally sleep peacefully!"

Sheng Mansion, beneath the shade of trees!

Grandma was half-reclining on a rocking chair, while Nanny Chen sat by, ready to attend to her.

Grandma, with eyes lightly closed, asked, "Nanny Chen, what’s the current status of the Smart Girl Class?"

Nanny Chen replied, "Old Madam, it has entered the final competition. For now, Han Ruixin’s number three boutique is far in the lead, followed by Du Shiniang’s number two."

"Du Shiniang?" The Old Lady suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Isn’t it Ye Shu?"

Nanny Chen answered, "Old Madam, it’s not Ye Shu. Ye Shu has the number one boutique."

"The number one boutique?" The Old Lady couldn’t help but chuckle, "Did she choose it herself?"

"It seems so. It was the last boutique she chose," Nanny Chen said, then paused to think, "It should be said that it was because Han Ruixin bumped into her, causing the materials to be lost, which made her choose her boutique later."

Hearing this, the Old Lady squinted her eyes and said, "It seems that Han Ruixin is also no wallflower, good, let the Han family’s women bite each other."

Nanny Chen, puzzled, asked, "Old Madam, how are you so sure that Ye Shu is from the Han family?"

"Humph!" The Old Lady got irritated immediately, "Isn’t it all because of that bitch, Su Mei? Before she got involved with our Baichuan, she had already dallied with Han Dongliang. And those amber eyes, so rare, exactly like Han Dongliang’s father’s, a rare case of skipping a generation!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Chen couldn’t help but sigh pretentiously, "Ah, all the fault of that nasty vixen Su Mei. Wherever she went, she quickly captured the attention of men, even our young master Baichuan fell for her charm. Otherwise, Ah Chen wouldn’t have lost his father so early..."

"Hmph!" The Old Lady grew even angrier, "Su Mei, that woman, being a slut is one thing, but she’s also an outright thief who stole the secret formula jointly researched by the Sheng, Han, and Su families and disappeared without a trace. If I catch her, I, this old woman, will definitely make her kneel at Baichuan’s grave to apologize with her death!"

Seeing the Old Lady so angry, and thinking back to everything that had happened, Nanny Chen finally understood why the Old Lady, despite hating Su Mei so much, had decided to keep Ye Shu.

It was because Ye Shu carried the offspring of the Sheng family and because the Old Lady had no other way to vent her hatred towards Su Mei. Keeping Ye Shu not only provided a vent for her anger, but it also increased the chances of tracking down Su Mei, as the bond between mother and daughter runs deep. If Su Mei ever came looking for Ye Shu, the Old Lady could easily spot the clues.

As they say, old ginger is spicier—the Old Lady had indeed thought of everything!
