C21 I Can See Right Through Her

Shen Mannge and Lan Lingyu quickly went about the discharge procedures. They were worried about Shen Ziang and returned home as soon as they could. When they reached the house, they saw that Shen Ziang was awake. He was tidying the place and preparing breakfast.

"Eh? Mommy, you're back? Are you better now? How did you get discharged so early?"

Shen Ziang was elated to see Shen Mannge.

Lan Lingyu looked at the meat porridge and the steaming hot buns that Shen Ziang had prepared. She felt particularly warm as she said, "Brat, did you make this meat porridge for us?"

Shen Ziang shook his head and said, "No, I went out to buy it, but I can learn how to make it from now on and be responsible for Mommy's food."

"Good boy."

Shen Mannge's face softened as she heard this. She touched Shen Ziang's head, thinking that he was the angel of her life. He was the best gift she had received from God.

"Today is Saturday, so you don't need to go to school. Mummy is fine now. Have some breakfast and go play."

Shen Mannge wanted her child to live his best life, so she had brought her son along with her. She was confident that Lan Lingyu would take him under her wing.

Shen Ziang smiled and held Shen Mannge's hand, pulling her to the dining room. They sat down. He whispered, "Mommy, I'll eat with you, but later I'm going out. I am going to meet up with a classmate. Is that okay?"

Looking at her son's beautiful phoenix eyes that were sparkling earnestly, Shen Mannge blinked, surprised.

"Okay, but be careful. Call me and let me know you're okay."

"All right."

Shen Ziang smiled like an angel.

Lan Lingyu was a little perturbed, but she knew that she should not provoke Shen Ziang right now. Especially since Shen Mannge was not in her best health. She had seen how scared Shen Ziang had been yesterday, so she truly felt sorry for him.

After the three of them finished eating breakfast, Shen Ziang left.

Lan Lingyu asked him if she could drop him off to where he wanted to go, but he rejected the idea.

"Let him go by himself. He can do it,"

Shen Mannge said, quite confident in her son.

Lan Lingyu said with worry, "Mannge, he's only four years old."

"In USA, when he was three, he used to go alone to the supermarket to buy stuff, all by himself. He could wander through half of Chinatown at the age of three and a half. Don't underestimate Ziang. He is not clueless young boy... don't worry."

Lan Lingyu didn't quite understand Shen Mannge's reasoning. She looked at her best friend with surprise. When she saw that Shen Mannge's eyes were filled with confidence about her son, she tried to ease her worries. However, she still looked out of the windows from time to time, to see if Shen Ziang had returned early.

After finishing the meal, Shen Mannge took her medicines. She turned on the TV and browsed the channels, stopping on one airing a piece of news.

'Chu Mengxi Apologizes to Designer Catherine Publicly!'

"Miss Catherine, I'm sorry. I know that my reckless actions have embarrassed you. It's my fault for being so petty. I'm begging you publicly, to forgive me. Miss Catherine, if you feel that this is not a good enough apology, then you can hit me or scold me too. I just hope that you don't vent out your anger on the Hengyu Group and disrupt our partnership with you. Mr. Ye is very invested in this collaboration. It's not good to waste away our days like this when the partnership is at stake. If I make you uncomfortable Miss Catherine, then I, Chu Mengxi, solemnly apologize for that. I am willing to accept anything that Miss Catherine wants of me. I guarantee that I won't have any complaints,"

Chu Mengxi said with obvious tears in her eyes, but Lan Lingyu only snorted coldly, not buying it. "How is this an apology? She is appealing to public sentiments. The entire Sea City knows that Chu Mengxi lives with Ye Nanxuan's family. On the surface, it looks like she is just apologizing. But in secret, she is not really sorry. She is stealthily trying to push all the blame onto you, making you seem rather proud of your talents. It's all drama."

"I can see right through her. Don't be so impatient."

The corners of Shen Mannge's mouth lifted slightly, like she did not care one bit about Chu Mengxi's tricks.

"Why are you acting clueless? This public apology may seem like an apology to you, but in reality, you have already offended a lot of people in this city. The employees of Hengyu Group will not like you anymore. They will think that you purposely made things difficult for their CEO. You don't know how, in these few years, Ye Nanxuan's reputation and status soured in Sea City because of his bachelor status. He garners a lot of sympathy and attention, especially from females. When the women of Hengyu Group see this apology video, they will feel like eating you alive."

Lan Lingyu was very anxious. Seeing how indifferent Shen Mannge, she blurted out exactly what she thought.

Shen Mannge smiled as she stood up, patted Lan Lingyu on the shoulder and said, "All right, don't you worry about me. Do you think that I'm still the same Shen Mannge from five years ago? Chu Mengxi is still a little too inexperienced to challenge me. Just wait and watch, I'll get Ye Nanxuan to come and beg me personally."

With that, Shen Mannge turned around and returned to her room, leaving Lan Lingyu standing there in a daze.

Get Ye Nanxuan to beg her to come back?

Was she being serious? Lan Lingyu shook her head.

Knowing how Ye Nanxuan was, how was that possible?
