Shen Nanchu looked up,
Well, well, if it isn't my old nesis. Talk about enemies crossing paths.
Standing across the counter was none other than the original owner's "good friend" Shen Hong, along with a bunch of won looking down their noses at everyone.
So tasteless!
Her dress was made of the most comfortable cotton, a casual countryside style.
And her radiant, glowing face with its plump cheeks clearly showed she was living a wonderfully comfortable life, thank you very much.
They must be blind.
However, running into Shen Hong at the departnt store did give Shen Nanchu a little thrill.
It had been so long since she'd seen Shen Hong. Would she provide a nice chunk of dislike points?
After all, she was currently a bit strapped for cash!
Shen Hong saw that her jab didn't anger Shen Nanchu, who just smiled back.
Sohow, a bad feeling crept into Shen Hong's heart.
But, rembering Shen Nanchu's current situation, Shen Hong's arrogance swelled again.
Surrounded by her entourage, she walked up to Shen Nanchu.
Before she could launch another taunt, she froze in her tracks at the sight of Shen Nanchu's prominent belly.
Had Shen Nanchu gotten knocked up so soon after going to the countryside?
Could the father of this little bastard be that big black bear standing next to her?
Hahaha~~~
A fresh flower stuck right in a pile of cow dung.
Shen Hong instantly felt much better.
"Nanchu, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"
"If you're having difficulties, you should tell !"
"No matter what, you shouldn't degrade yourself like this!"
Shen Hong perford a complete 180, acting like Shen Nanchu's most caring and intimate best friend!
For the sake of dislike points, Shen Nanchu was happy to play along for a while. Pei's Mother was off with the shop assistant picking things out and would be a while.
"Shen Hong, you're really too kind."
"How about you pay for my shopping today then?"
"I know soone as beautiful and kind-hearted as you would be more than happy to help , right?"
Shen Nanchu's words left Shen Hong speechless.

"Didn't you say to tell you if I had difficulties?"
"Well, I'm having one right now?"
"What? Were you just all talk?"
Shen Nanchu blinked her beautiful eyes, an expression of disbelief flashing across her face.
"No way?"
"You, the honorable Third Young Madam of the Lei family, can't possibly be short of such a small sum, right?"
"Wow~~~ You must be living a truly miserable life then?"
[Dislike Points 10]
[Dislike Points 8]
Just who was living miserably here?
Shen Hong was fuming with rage.
She realized Shen Nanchu's mouth had gotten truly foul.
The won surrounding Shen Hong all moved in Beijing's circles. With the Lei family currently rising like the sun and the Pei family banished to the backwaters, it was obvious whose side to take.
"Shen Nanchu, Shen Hong was kindly trying to help you. The least you could do is not be ungrateful and talk back?"
"Exactly, the Pei family has fallen. What right do you have to act so high and mighty?"
"Don't you know your own place?"
...
They chid in one after another, all attacking Shen Nanchu.
Xiong Lei, listening nearby, grew anxious.
"You won, how can you be so unreasonable?"
But faced with so many of them, Xiong Lei was powerless.
Seeing how Xiong Lei, despite his large fra, was as timid as a soft egg, the disdain in Shen Hong's eyes grew, and she beca even more smug.
"Oh, everyone, say less."
"After all, Shen Nanchu's circumstances are different now!"
Shen Nanchu's eyes were full of innocence.
"Wait, I don't think I talked back to anyone, did I?"
"Wasn't I just begging Shen Hong to help ?"

...
The group of won were left seething.
Shen Nanchu's words weren't directly confrontational, but the aning certainly was!
Not only was she being confrontational, she was making fun of them!
"And didn't Shen Hong say she wanted to help ?"
"So I'm just asking her to settle my bill?"
Shen Nanchu looked at the group, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepening.
"We're all old acquaintances."
"Shen Hong is being so generous in helping out. Why don't you all follow her example and help out a little too?"
"Oh, and I think this new set of clothes is quite nice. I could wear it after I give birth."
"Also, I'm about to have the baby. As aunties, shouldn't you all prepare so greeting gifts for my little treasure?"
If your skin is thick enough, it's others who feel awkward.
Shen Nanchu's words made the people clustered behind Shen Hong take several steps back in unison.
"You... you're overthinking it."
"I'm not very familiar with you."
"What happens to you is none of my business."

"If it's none of your business, then what are you all blabbering about?"
Shen Nanchu's expression instantly turned severe, making Shen Hong and the others shiver.
"Shen Hong, have you settled the matter of your husband finding mistresses number four, five, and six?"
"And you, has your husband cleaned up the ss from bribing the leader with gifts and money for that promotion?"
"Oh, and you. Shouldn't you hurry to the hospital and try for a son? The one he had outside is almost ready for elentary school."

...
Shen Nanchu's counterattack was brilliant.
Although she no longer moved in Beijing's circles, she hadn't missed a single piece of gossip from the capital.
And now, she had accurately stabbed each one right where it hurt.
"You..."
"You, you, you..."
"I, I..."
Clutching her belly, Shen Nanchu began to wail,
"Ah~~~"
"My stomach hurts so much!"
"A whole group of you bullying a pregnant woman!"
Seeing this, Xiong Lei beca terribly worried.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you to the hospital right now."
Xiong Lei didn't forget to morize every one of Shen Hong's group,
"If anything happens to my sister-in-law, I won't let any of you off."
Seeing Shen Nanchu and Xiong Lei like this, Shen Hong and her crew quickly jumped back a good three ters.
"This... this has nothing to do with ."
"It was... it was Shen Hong."
"I need to go ho and cook."
The crowd instantly scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Shen Hong behind.
Shen Hong shot Shen Nanchu a glare, stamped her foot, and ran off.
Shen Nanchu was taken aback for a mont, then straightened up, still holding her stomach.
They ran just like that?
Can't handle the heat at all.
Xiong Lei stood frozen in place.
"Sister-in-law, you were faking it?"
"You're okay?"
Shen Nanchu watched the figures of Shen Hong and the others fleeing in disarray.
"If I didn't fake it, would those annoying pests have left so quickly?"
"True."
Xiong Lei nodded.
The won in the capital could be pretty scary.
Ones like Sister-in-law were even scarier.
The won from his hotown were better—gentle and straightforward.
He should really make ti to go back ho and et that match his old mother set up for him!
