Wei Shiyu, ranked eighth in the third generation of the Wei Family, and his wife Shen is generally referred to as Eighth Young Madam.
Sheng Xueyi’s relationship with Shen is currently just that of business partners, so she must address Shen formally.
If the two were closer, Sheng Xueyi could call her "Sister Shen."
"Xue’er, you’re truly impressive!"
Shen looked at Sheng Xueyi with a smile and warmly held her hand, "In the future, if you’re not offended, just call Sister Shen!"
In this world, there’s no love without reason, nor hatred without reason.
Previously, although Shen partnered with Sheng Xueyi to open a shop, their relationship wasn’t close. Moreover, it was uncertain whether the shop would be profitable, so Shen naturally couldn’t appear overly friendly with Sheng Xueyi.
But now, the cake shop business is evidently booming.
In such circumstances, Shen wanting to draw closer to Sheng Xueyi is quite logical.
Of course, pulling the relationship closer at this ti might give Sheng Xueyi the illusion that Shen is opportunistic.
Coincidentally, that’s precisely what Shen wants Sheng Xueyi to think.
So people beco lifelong friends after a brief eting and conversation, while others might remain rely business associates despite a lifeti together.
Shen’s position on Sheng Xueyi is as a business associate.
Since she has recognized Yuan Bao as her goddaughter, then she and Yuan Bao are the real family.
Sheng Xueyi, who is incompatible with Yuan Bao, naturally can’t beco Shen’s close friend.
Upon hearing Shen’s words, a joyful expression appeared on Sheng Xueyi’s face. Her ticulous managent of the cake shop was precisely to get closer to Shen.
As long as their relationship becos closer, she can leverage Shen to integrate into certain circles. Then, with her advantage as a transmigrator, she will undoubtedly stand out in those circles.
Shen covets the profits of the cake shop, but in Sheng Xueyi’s mind, the cake shop is just a very ordinary idea among many ways she can make money.
For a mont, Shen and Sheng Xueyi seed like siblings from different parents.
...
When the Fourteenth Prince arrived in Yunyang City, he naturally heard about the grand opening of Sheng Xueyi’s cake shop and saw the long line of people waiting to purchase outside the shop.
Others had to queue, but the Fourteenth Prince didn’t need to at all.
Mao Shenggong, leading a team of guards, forcefully cleared a path for the Fourteenth Prince to enter the cake shop.
Sheng Xueyi was inside planning the shop’s future expansion mode when suddenly inford of the Fourteenth Prince’s arrival. Hearing Chuntao’s news made her feel uneasy.
She knew her rotten father wished to send her to the Fourteenth Prince, a prospect she resented.
But now, with the Fourteenth Prince coming over, it’s no trivial matter.
"Miss, what should we do?"
Chuntao was quite worried for her lady.
Sheng Xueyi pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Why the panic?"
"Even the Fourteenth Prince must be reasonable."
"Co on, let’s go out and et!"
Indeed, Sheng Xueyi didn’t want to marry into the royal family, but she was well aware that with the Fourteenth Prince personally visiting, she couldn’t hide and refuse to et him.
Royalty reigns supre!
In a certain sense, a Prince is akin to another form of royal power.
"Miss, should we ask Mrs. Wu to contact Eighth Young Madam of the Wei Family?"
Chuntao looked at Sheng Xueyi cautiously, probing with her question.
"Chuntao, what nonsense are you talking?"
Sheng Xueyi glared at Chuntao, "I’ve not encountered anything yet, and you want Sister Shen to step in. Do you think that’s appropriate?"
"Besides, even if Sister Shen cos, what can she do with the Fourteenth Prince here?"
