Chapter 90

Shen Huaishuang’s face remained entirely calm and unafraid, leaving Zheng Junlan momentarily stunned. Once Shen Huaishuang finished speaking, she retreated into the shop, leaving Zheng Junlan sitting on the chair outside. Zheng Junlan’s upbringing prevented her from acting like a shrew and hurling insults at Shen Huaishuang; she simply could not bring herself to do such a thing. She had not expected that, for all of Shen Huaishuang’s delicate appearance, she would be completely unafraid of her, impervious to her influence, and immune to threats. Still, the thought of so much wealth falling into Shen Huaishuang’s hands made her deeply anxious. So many young women these days would stop at nothing to get their hands on money, and they were experts at putting on a facade. She could not afford to be careless. If she let her guard down, it wouldn’t just be their fortune at stake—it would be her son’s heart. She could tell that her son had truly fallen for her; it was the first time in his life that such a rigid, stoic man had ever been moved.
