143: Old Lady Shen Faints

Old Lady Shen Faints

Ji Qiongxin had handled the situation perfectly. By not letting Yun Bixue do anything, she prevented others from seizing the chance to criticize her. As for herself, despite being Yun Bixue's mother-in-law, she had not met with Old Lady Shen before. As a result, Ji Qiongxin pretended that she didn't know her identity at all, and just took her to be a vile old woman from the streets. 1

Even if someone were to tell her after the matter, she could respond innocently by saying that she was unaware of the situation. To her, she only saw that someone was bullying her daughter-in-law and had felt angry. In the end, all the fault would lie with Old Lady Shen instead of her.

As for Old Lady Shen, she had never before suffered such humiliation. It left her furious, and her blood pressure climbed up. In the end, her face became flushed with rage and she fainted, falling onto the floor.

Looking at Old Lady Shen pass out, Ji Qiongxin pretended to step back weakly. She exclaimed, "Ah! I only said a few things to her, why did she faint?"

Yun Bixue found herself liking this mother-in-law more than ever. She rushed towards Ji Qiongxin and supported her by the arm. Then she said to the onlookers, "Hurry up and send her to the hospital! Old Lady Shen has high blood pressure and rarely steps outside of the house. If she stands up for a long time, she'll faint. Don't any of you know about this?"

It was only then that the rest of the crowd realized what had happened. It was true that the elderly frequently suffered from health problems. They didn't dare to wait any longer and quickly rushed her to the hospital.

Shen Wenqi was dumbfounded too. What was all this? Aunt was supposed to be here to support me, why did she end up being sent to the hospital?

He was still stunned by what happened, so Old Master Yun kicked him aside and said, "That's your aunt, and she has health issues! Yet you still brought her outside! With the Shen family as it is now, you wouldn't want others to say that you're unfilial, right? Hurry, go on and look after her!"

Shen Wenqi left, still unsure of what to make of things. When he finally realized that he had been driven off, it was too late. It would be difficult for him to find another opportunity to come back. What's more, after this incident, Old Master Yun was sure to be on his guard the next time.

And thus, Yun Bixue was happy for the entire day, while Old Lady Shen had been sent to the hospital. The atmosphere at the Shen family was chillingly cold.

Old Master Shen's grandson, Shen Zhengyao, was feeling depressed, so he gathered a few friends for a meal. After the meal, Shen Zhengyao tried to pay the bill with his credit card, but even after multiple attempts, the card was still rejected.

The waitress looked at the previously well-off Young Master Shen and felt a bit impatient. She said, "Young Master Shen, your other card has failed too."

Shen Zhengyao grew furious. "There's still hundreds of thousands of credit on this card, so why would it fail? It's the machine that's the problem!" he yelled, landing a fist on the counter.

Realizing that he was still not back, his friends came to check on him. Just as they arrived, they saw him being furious at the waitress. They hurried to calm him down. "Zhengyao, you're a good-tempered person, and you should know how to treat girls well. What's the problem today? Did someone offend you?"

"That's right, who dares to offend Young Master Shen?"

"Zhengyao, if there's anything, just tell us. There's no need to vent your anger on a girl, is there?"

…

Despite their words, they were actually trying to make a fool out of Shen Zhengyao. In the past, the Shen family was on the roster of the wealthiest people in Ning An City. They normally had to act in accordance with Zhengyao's wishes. But times had changed, and the Shen family was not what it used to be. This was all reported in the news.

Although Zhengyao still brought up that his sister, Yun Bixue, was now Young Master Xie's wife, none of his friends were fools. Yun Bixue wasn't on good terms with the Shen family. Additionally, Yun Bixue's relationship with Young Master Xie had little to do with the Shen family. To put things bluntly, the Shen family had absolutely no blood ties with Yun Bixue.
