Liang Rong quickly put Shen ng’s idea into action. She knew her friend liked her younger brother, and even before Shen ng appeared, she had been trying to match Liang Jue with her friend. After all, compared to outsiders, Wang Shuyue knew everything about the family and was deeply in love with Liang Jue.
With the relationship between the two families, Liang Jue would still have a good life no matter what.
However, that was before Liang Jue got married. After his marriage, Liang Rong not only comforted her friend but also repeatedly warned her not to act recklessly. Regardless of Wang Shuyue’s deep affection, Liang Jue had already beco soone else’s husband, and moreover, he married the person he liked.
The result was Wang Shuyue’s foolish mistake, which made her furious not only at her but also at herself. Because she had introduced her to him, but the result was inviting trouble into their ho.
After reprimanding Wang Shuyue in private, she imdiately took her to see Liang Jue and forced her to apologize in person.
In front of Shen ng, Liang Jue did not co out to see her in person but remained behind a screen of flowers and birds that blocked their view. After listening to Wang Shuyue’s apology, she responded indifferently, “It’s not entirely your fault. I’ve long forgotten about this matter. I hope you can forget about it too.”
Liang Rong followed, expressing her own apologies, “This was a foolish mistake on my part, I promise it won’t happen again. Please forgive
for this.”
Behind the screen, Liang Jue replied to her, “This was my own negligence. I never blad my elder sister. I know the purpose of your visit. Zhu Sheng, please escort Lady Wang out. Elder sister, co behind the screen, I have sothing to discuss with you.”
This ant forgiving her but also signaling an end to their relationship. Wang Shuyue, originally reluctant to face the truth, felt lost when confronted with her crush’s icy attitude. Watching the intimate silhouettes cast by the screen, she found herself speechless despite her usual eloquence. She didn’t even know how she followed the servant nad Zhu Sheng out of the Shen residence.
Liang Rong, sensing her distress, understood her feelings. However, the bond of blood prevailed—between her own brother and her friend, naturally her brother took precedence. Besides, Wang Shuyue was at fault this ti. Though it was sowhat harsh to pour cold water on her, it was necessary for her to see the truth.
As soon as Wang Shuyue left, Liang Rong eagerly went behind the screen. Seeing her younger brother Liang Jue there, she tempered her slightly obsequious expression, lest she lose face in front of her brother.
Liang Jue treated her sister very well, briefly addressing the topic and then steering the conversation back to the main issue he wanted to discuss: “It’s quite a coincidence that you ca today, Sister. Even if you hadn’t co, I would have had to seek you out.”
“What else do you need
for? Is it because she’s not treating you well?” Liang Rong shot Shen ng a very displeased look.
Liang Jue shook his head, “No, it’s unrelated to my wife.”
Liang Rong’s expression softened slightly, but her deanor subtly conveyed to Shen ng that if she ever mistreated her brother, she wouldn’t let it slide.
Shen ng couldn’t help but feel moved as she watched. In her past life, she hadn’t treated Liang Jue well, but Liang Jue’s love was too humble. Liang Rong, as his sister, might resent her brother’s lack of achievent, but she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh on Liang Jue.
So, in front of her younger sister, Liang Rong always maintained a submissive attitude, almost like she was bowing down. After all, she wasn’t incapable of asserting herself, but what Liang Jue sought was sothing she couldn’t achieve with her usual assertiveness in front of Shen ng.
Now that she had been sowhat kind to Liang Jue, seeing Liang Rong’s attitude in front of her was sowhat amusing.
As she was thinking this, Liang Jue turned his face towards her, “Wife, I have sothing to discuss with Sister. Could you step out for a mont?”
Shen ng hesitated for a mont, already having a rough idea of what he wanted to discuss with Liang Rong. Nonetheless, she agreed and considerately closed the door behind her for the two siblings.
