Free Web NovelChapter 1764: Chapter 1765: Digging Deeper
Although Shen Qizheng is mediocre, he isn’t brainless. If Chiang Qing had that illness, would the old man not know? But the old man still gave her a title, so there shouldn’t be any major problems, right?
"Well, our old man isn’t stupid either. Since he could marry her as the third wife, doesn’t that mean she doesn’t have any issues?" he said with a smile.
Ning Ge shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, they say it’s intermittent, treatable, but they didn’t say it won’t flare up. There’s still a root of the illness, and I haven’t heard of a mental illness being completely cured! As for your family’s old man..."
He suddenly displayed a meaningful smile.
"What?"
Ning Ge chuckled, "Do you think your third mistress is beautiful?"
Shen Qizheng was taken aback, a hint of discomfort crossed his face. How did this guy change the subject so quickly?
"Hehe, beautiful, isn’t she? With those curves, she’s quite a stunner, right?" Ning Ge grinned mischievously and said, "What man under the sky doesn’t like beauty? Especially wealthy and powerful men, don’t they all have a few confidantes? Even you, Eldest Young Master Shen, must have a few flings, right?"
Shen Qizheng coughed and rubbed his nose.
"Come on, I’m a man too, I understand. What I mean is, your old man is also a man who cherishes beauty. Otherwise, how could he marry a second and third wife after your mother? Just to have a bunch of siblings to share your inheritance?" Ning Ge casually remarked.
These words struck a chord in Shen Qizheng’s dissatisfied heart.
Isn’t that the truth? His own mother was loyal enough to the old man, but once she aged, he married a younger and prettier one. To make it worse, they had several children. This massive inheritance originally belonged only to him, the main family, but now, with more children, his share decreases. It’s truly infuriating.
Ning Ge watched his ever-changing expressions, with disdain in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. "This man’s love for beauty, and coincidentally Chiang Qing has some allure. With a little coquetry and pillow talk, who cares if she’s sick or not? Your old man, he’s old, only sees beauty and ignores the consequences."
"What do you mean by that?" Shen Qizheng asked.
"Don’t blame me for being blunt; I dislike beating around the bush. Just talking about your third mistress, if she causes a huge scandal due to her illness, who will clean up the mess for her? Even this time, wasn’t it you who wiped her slate clean?" Ning Ge calmly sipped his tea.
Shen Qizheng raised an eyebrow and started sipping tea too. This time he was eager to clean up the mess, as it allowed him to connect with Fourth Young Master Ning!
But he’s right, what if there’s another big scandal next time and the Shen family has to clean up her mess again?
"Anyway, I don’t want to see Chiang Qing, she annoys me, which also extends to your Shen Family..." He paused.
Shen Qizheng immediately said, "Fourth Master, look, these are separate matters. Our Shen Family and Chiang Qing are distinct issues, aren’t they? Why let one woman ruin our relationship? I still want to collaborate with you in business."
Ning Ge’s eyes flickered and he said, "Eldest Young Master Shen, if it were you, would you collaborate with a family that hates you enough to want you gone? Separate things are separate, but Chiang Qing is indeed your family’s beloved third mistress and also a member of the Shen Family!"
Shen Qizheng’s face darkened, wanting to say something more.
Ning Ge added, "Look, I have a meeting now, let’s end it here for today; I’ve seen your sincerity. You should head back for now, and as for collaboration, we’ll discuss it later!" He added, "Eldest Young Master, pillow talk can be quite terrifying sometimes."
Heh, digging the pit for Chiang Qing requires digging it deep.
