Chapter 689: 187: Breaking News! _4

Old Lady Zhao stood in front of the carved railing on the third floor, watching everything below, her lips curling upwards slightly.

All peacetime is born out of the ashes of warfare; it applies to a family as well.

Only after experiencing war can one truly understand peace.

Otherwise, some people would simply not know how to cherish it.

In the evening, Lin Fang stayed for dinner at the Zhao’s.

All was tranquil at the dinner table, but under it, Lin Fang discreetly kicked Zhao Shen.

Zhao Shen, taken aback, looked up, only to see Lin Fang’s smiling face.

Fearing that Shangguan Furong would notice, he quickly resumed eating.

“You guys carry on, I’m going to the restroom.” Lin Fang put down her chopsticks and headed towards the restroom.

“I’m off for a smoke.” Zhao Shen also left the table.

As soon as he stepped out of the dining room, someone gently grabbed his wrist. The pair slipped into the storeroom at the end of the corridor.

“I missed you.” In the darkness, they embraced tightly.

Across the hallway and around the corner was the dining room, where Shangguan Furong was finishing her meal.

She was unaware that her husband and her good friend were in a tight embrace on the other side of the wall.

What an irony.

After a while, they showed up in the dining room one after the other.

After dinner, Lin Fang suggested leaving.

To emphasize her status within the Zhao family, Shangguan Furong said, “Zhao Shen, drive Lin Fang home.”

“Er, is it appropriate?” Zhao Shen hesitated.

Shangguan Furong’s face turned cold, “Do as you’re told! Enough of your nonsense!”

Zhao Shen nodded silently, picked up the car keys, and left.

Lin Fang laughed, “Sister Furong, you really know how to handle your brother-in-law.”

“Piece of cake.” Lin Fang looked extremely pleased.

The next morning, Shangguan Furong made another visit to the Shangguan house.

As she entered the Shangguan’s courtyard, she ran into Ni Cuihua escorting Xu Lian out of the entrance.

“Furong.” Ni Cuihua took the initiative to greet her.

Shangguan Furong responded indifferently with a nod.

She was still bothered about Ni Cuihua’s status.

If it wasn’t for Shangguan Dehui’s infatuation, Ni Cuihua wouldn’t be able to set foot inside the Shangguan residence.

At this moment, Shangguan Furong noticed that Xu Lian was holding a box of the Supreme Edition Ice Skin Jade Beauty!

Wasn’t that Ice Skin Jade Beauty something Ni Cuihua used to curry favor with her?

Then why was it now taken away by Xu Lian?

Shangguan Furong felt extraordinarily upset, as if her precious possession had been stolen.

Could it be that Ni Cuihua had prepared two sets?

One for Xu Lian and the other for her?

Lucky Xu Lian, despite having nothing to do with the Shangguan family, still managed to gain a benefit here.

Shangguan Furong went in with Ni Cuihua.

She waited a long time, had lunch at the Shangguan’s, but until dinner time when she left, Ni Cuihua didn’t present her with the Supreme Edition Ice Skin Jade Beauty.

What’s going on?

Could it be that Ni Cuihua had forgotten?

Asking for things directly was not Shangguan Furong’s style,

She had ways to make Ni Cuihua obediently give them to her!

Suppressing her rage, Shangguan Furong left the Shangguan’s and made Zhao Shen sleep in the study that night.

…

Today was the 14th of November, Mo Qishen’s birthday.

Ni Yang got up early in the morning.

She put on a plain white cheongsam, threw a maroon coat over it, grabbed the gift she’d prepared, greeted Ni Cuihua, and left the house.

Yet, Ni Yang didn’t go directly to Mo Qishen’s place, instead, she rode her bicycle to the Rose Garden.

Jinghua Village had almost 300 acres of rose fields.

Since it was winter, the rose garden was covered with plastic sheets to form a greenhouse. There was straw on the outside of the greenhouse to keep the interior warm. Even though it was deep winter, the greenhouse was filled with fiery red roses, an exquisite sight.

“Yangyang, why have you come so early?” Auntie Lin, who was looking after the greenhouse, was surprised to see Ni Yang.

Ni Yang parked her bike and smiled, “Auntie Lin, I’ve come to pick some roses.”

This patch of roses belonged to Auntie Lin’s family.

Ever since they planted roses, Auntie Lin had made two or three hundred yuan. Seeing Ni Yang was like seeing the God of Wealth for her, she laughed saying, “Come in, come in, it’s cold outside. Feel free to pick whatever roses you like from the garden.”

Generally, they would pick roses, weigh them, and deliver them to the Ni family. Ni Yang personally coming over most likely meant she wanted to pick a few roses to put in a vase back home.

Just typical of a girl who loved flowers and plants.

Ni Yang went inside with Auntie Lin.
