Chapter 21

Secretary Guan received a call.

Special Assistant Zhou asked on the phone: "Is Secretary Jiang out of danger?"

"She is." Secretary Guan nodded, "Zhou Zhou, why did you call the Eldest Miss over?"

Special Assistant Zhou: "It wasn't me."

Secretary Guan: "Then who was it?"

Special Assistant Zhou smiled without answering and urged them: "Secretary Jiang has the Eldest Miss accompanying her, so you can squander that card yourselves."

"Alright, thank you Zhou Zhou, long live President Ke." The two took the card and went shopping themselves.

Jiang Lai accompanied Ke Zhongying straight to a luxury brand store, the store door half-closed.

In this situation, it usually meant there were distinguished guests inside.

But Ke Zhongying only wore this brand, so she took out her phone and made a call; less than half a minute after she finished, the door opened again, and the store manager walked out from inside.

"Miss Nian, please come in."

Jiang Lai followed Ke Zhongying in, and a familiar voice came from the VIP room next door.

"Sister Shutong, what do you think of this one on the model? Does it suit me?"

"It looks good on the model, so of course it will look even better on you." It was Lin Shutong's voice.

Lin Shutong hadn't gone back at all; she turned around and called Shen Xi over to go shopping, promising to buy her a custom-made dress as a birthday gift.

Anyway, it was Shen Xun's money being spent.

Just consider it punishment for Shen Xun distancing himself from her in front of Jiang Lai.

"Beautiful sister, what's wrong?" Ke Zhongying saw her stop and asked suspiciously, "Who is next door?"

Store Manager: "Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen."

"Mrs. Shen?" Jiang Lai looked at the store manager.

"Yes, Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen."

She didn't expect Lin Shutong to have already started using the title of Mrs. Shen outside.

Ke Zhongying thought of the business card Shen Xun had handed over; she saw the name, and combined with Jiang Lai's reaction, her brain started turning instantly.

"Beautiful sister, this wouldn't be your husband's sister, would it?"

"It's Shen Xi's voice." Just as Jiang Lai finished speaking, Ke Zhongying pulled her and was about to go in to ask clearly.

Jiang Lai said: "No need."

She tilted her head to look at the door crack, "She is Mrs. Shen."

Ke Zhongying didn't understand: "Why?"

Because she and Shen Xun had already divorced.

It was just a matter of a certificate.

The sound of the two talking seemed to disturb the people inside; Shen Xi asked unhappily: "Who is talking outside? Isn't it only supposed to be receiving us?"

As she said this, she opened the door and came out.

She saw Jiang Lai standing with a girl wearing pajamas.

"Jiang Lai?" Shen Xi looked disgusted, "Why are you here?"

She looked at Ke Zhongying again: "Really, anyone can come."

Ke Zhongying: "???"

"Shen Xi, show some respect when you speak." Jiang Lai blocked Ke Zhongying this time, her gaze slightly cold.

"You show some respect when you speak." Shen Xi glared back, "Jiang Lai, are you using my brother's money to act rich?"

"Xiao Xi." Lin Shutong, who had been watching the show, walked out and smiled at Jiang Lai, "See you again, Jiang Lai."

"Mrs. Shen." Jiang Lai called her directly like that.

Shen Xi and Lin Shutong were both stunned for a moment.

Lin Shutong explained: "It was a misunderstanding by them."

Shen Xi rolled her eyes: "What misunderstanding? Jiang Lai doesn't have a shred of the appearance of Mrs. Shen, just a country bumpkin."

"I've seen the diversity of species today." Ke Zhongying said, "Paramecium is probably like this."

"What do you mean?" Shen Xi didn't understand.

Jiang Lai, who understood, laughed.

Actually, the brother and sister were quite alike.

Lin Shutong explained: "Paramecium is a single-celled organism, meaning someone has no brains."

"Let me explain, it's not saying, it's scolding, thank you." Ke Zhongying squinted and smiled, but the next second she was cold-faced.

Lin Shutong curiously examined Ke Zhongying; the material of these pajamas wasn't simple.

"Jiang Lai, who is this?"

"I am her sister." Ke Zhongying took Jiang Lai's arm.

Lin Shutong was half-believing: "Sister?"

Shen Xi sneered: "Another orphan that nobody wants."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lai's slap followed.

The crisp sound of the slap left everyone stunned.

"Shen Xi, I said, show some respect when you speak."

Shen Xi reacted belatedly and reached out to touch her numb face, her eyes widening in disbelief: "Jiang Lai, you dare to hit me? You actually dare to hit me!!"

She was so angry her eyes turned red.

She lunged forward to hit Jiang Lai but was pulled back in time by the people in the store.

"Jiang Lai! Did I say anything wrong? You are just an orphan that nobody wants! You only have a home because you met my brother! And isn't your sister also an orphan from the orphanage that nobody wants? Where did I say anything wrong!"

"You dare to hit me! You actually dare to hit me! I'm going to tell my brother, I'm going to make my brother divorce you!"

"Sister Shutong, call my brother, let my brother come over and see Jiang Lai's face!"

Lin Shutong never expected that Jiang Lai, with such a spineless personality, would dare to lay a hand on Shen Xi.

"Jiang Lai, you know A-Xun dotes on this sister the most, why do you still hit her? Apologize to Shen Xi, and I will speak well of you in front of A-Xun."

"Mrs. Shen, I don't need your good words." Jiang Lai looked at the clawing Shen Xi, "I gave you too much face before."

Lin Shutong frowned again: "Do you know what you are saying?"

Jiang Lai couldn't be bothered to give her a look; she went to look at Ke Zhongying.

The expression on Ke Zhongying's face was unpredictable, from the initial shock to the later sadness.

She didn't know that the beautiful sister was a child who grew up in an orphanage; wouldn't the things she said before about money and a happy family hurt the beautiful sister?

"Zhongying, what's wrong?" Jiang Lai thought she was scared silly by the scene just now.

Ke Zhongying suddenly said: "Sorry, beautiful sister."

"What?" Jiang Lai saw her little mouth pucker, her face full of sadness.

"I didn't know you were originally..." She didn't want to say those two words and shook her head again.

Jiang Lai reacted.

She was being felt sorry for.

Felt sorry for by a sister six years younger.

"I'm fine, but what about you, were you scared?"

"No." Ke Zhongying grinned, "That slap just now, cool!"

"Who are you! What does it have to do with you!" Shen Xi was blown up by the two of them looking at no one, "Do you believe I'll call my brother and make you unable to mix in A City!"

"Wow, I'm so scared, and you're going to make me unable to mix in A City." Ke Zhongying scolded her, "Little hoodlum."

"You're done for! You're done for! Sister Shutong, give me the phone, I'm calling my brother!"

Lin Shutong handed over the phone.

"You think only you have a brother?" Ke Zhongying also picked up her phone, dialed, and said, "Brother, the beautiful sister and I were bullied."

Ke Zhongyu frowned: "Location."

Shen Xi: "Brother!!! I was hit by Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai's friend, she also scolded me, wuwuwuwu."

Ke Zhongying: "???"

She called again: "Brother, this person scolded me and the beautiful sister as orphans."

The store manager saw that the situation couldn't be pulled back and resignedly waited for the people on both sides to come.

Shen Xun had only walked halfway when he received his sister's call and turned back quickly.

As soon as he entered the store, he saw Lin Shutong was also there, and his sister Shen Xi's half-face was swollen like a pig's head.

Jiang Lai often cooked and did laundry, so she really had such great strength.

"Brother, Jiang Lai hit me! Everyone here can prove it!" Shen Xi hurriedly complained, tears falling in big drops.

Lin Shutong followed up: "A-Xun, don't be angry, Jiang Lai didn't mean it, she just didn't hold back."

Shen Xun examined Lin Shutong: "Are you okay? I told you to go back, why did you come back again."

"Sister Shutong accompanied me, brother, did you hear me, Jiang Lai hit me, and she hit my face, look at it!" Shen Xi stomped her feet in a hurry.

Jiang Lai stood to the side, as if nothing had happened, watching Shen Xun care about Lin Shutong first, then care about his sister, and finally turn around to question her.

"Jiang Lai, why did you hit Xiao Xi? Her injuries have only just started to heal a little."
