My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Insisting on Staying

Rong Yan herself was riddled with scandal.

How could such a woman win against her and steal the man who was supposed to be hers?

After returning home, she thought a lot and realized even if Shengxiao was temporarily confused, Mrs. Lin’s attitude was also crucial. So, after much deliberation, she brought gifts today.

She originally wanted to take a roundabout approach, winning over the elders first before gradually working on Shengxiao, but unexpectedly, that woman was also there! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Shen Siyuan really didn’t want to concede in front of Rong Yan, especially after that day in the brand store when Rong Yan had slapped her in return, she even less wanted to show weakness in front of this woman!

Ignoring the presence of Cui Jiangjing and Rong Yan, she went straight to Lin Zhiya and offered her gift, “Mrs. Lin, I was out shopping today and saw a nice necklace that I thought suited you, so I bought it. Please take a look.”

Lin Zhiya truly did not want to see the gift at that moment, but with Shen Siyuan handing it to her, it would be rude not to look. She reluctantly opened it, glanced at it, and then closed the box, returning it to Shen Siyuan, “This is too valuable for me. I should not be wearing such things. You young ladies keep it for yourselves, I’m too old for such trinkets.”

She jokingly refused, essentially giving the gift back.

Biting her lip, with eyes flashing unwillingness, Shen Siyuan forced a smile and said, “Mrs. Lin, you’re truly humorous. What’s not suitable about you? This color jade necklace needs your dignified and elegant temperament to match it, I definitely won’t look as good wearing it as you would! This necklace would pair perfectly with the coats you usually like to wear!”

Still, Lin Zhiya did not accept it, pushing it back, “I’m just an old woman, I have no need for such expensive things. You should take it back, otherwise, I’d feel embarrassed to have you come visit me.”

Her refusal was so firm that Shen Siyuan, being perceptive enough, did not insist further and took back the box, saying guiltily with her lips tight, “Since Mrs. Lin doesn’t like it, I’ll take it back with me. I originally said I’d come over to see you, and it turns out I came empty-handed…”

Mrs. Lin had watched her grow up and had no objections to her. Seeing her like this, she consoled, “I’m already very happy that you came to see me, there’s no need for a gift. All of you youngsters are too polite! If you all were this formal with me, I’d be afraid to let you visit. Alright, haven’t you eaten yet? Why don’t you sit down and have a meal with us?”

Cui Jiangjing stood up from his seat, just about to find an excuse to say Shen Siyuan had eaten.

Somehow, as if Shen Siyuan had seen through what he was about to say, she preempted him by smiling at Lin Zhiya, “I indeed haven’t had the chance to eat yet, sure, then I won’t be polite with Mrs. Lin.”

What was Siyuan trying to imply?

Had she forgotten everything he said to her last time?

She hadn’t even settled with Shengxiao over the drug incident, and she dared to push her way forward, especially on this day, causing trouble for Shengxiao!

She… she… she…

Cui Jiangjing’s face darkened with anger!

This girl must be tired of living!

Did she really think her brother’s influence could be wasted on her forever?

It’s not just because she is Shen Mingge’s sister, even if Shen Mingge himself had a conflict with Rong Yan, he wouldn’t have any leverage with Shengxiao here!

“Please, sit down, sit down.” Mrs. Lin, unaware of the previous conflict between Shen Siyuan and Rong Yan in the mall, thought the two were strangers and called everyone to take their seats.
