Chen Jinlan pulled Shen Rou into a secluded corner of the kitchen in the Shen Residence. Grabbing Shen Rou's wrist so tightly that her fingernails nearly dug into the flesh, Chen Jinlan lowered her voice and demanded harshly, "Rourou, tell your mother the truth. Is that punk Xiao Liang lying to you? Look at him now—idle all day long, without even a proper job. Does he look anything like someone who's going to become the wealthiest man?"
"Or were you lying to me all along? Have you been hooking up with that fellow behind my back? I must have been blind to believe the nonsense you fed me."
Shen Rou looked at Chen Jinlan in a panic. How could her mother not believe her? In her past life, Xiao Liang had indeed become the richest man in the capital. In this life, she had gone to great lengths to trap Xiao Liang by her side first, all so she could get a share of the wealth when he made it big in the future.
