She Took Back Her Children and Got a Husband

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Familiar Taste



Shen Yancheng furrowed his brow deeper and deeper, not out of anger, but because he found this woman very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. The closer he got, the more prominent this feeling became.

Her scent was faint, like the fragrance of lotus leaves, subtle yet not overpowering, familiar, very familiar.

"Have we met before?" Shen Yancheng asked.

Met—before?

Jiang Xiaorou frantically shook her head: "How could that be possible! I'm just a waitress, you're of high status, how could we have ever met."

Shen Yancheng still felt something was off, but couldn't quite remember, so he carried Duoduo towards the hall.

Xuanxuan took the chance when Daddy wasn't paying attention, quickly turned back and said, "Auntie, we have indeed met, that night you drove me and Duoduo home, Daddy saw you."

"But don't worry, I didn't tell Daddy who you are, so he still doesn't know."

Xuanxuan was clever, knowing how to keep a secret for someone.

"Xuanxuan is awesome, Auntie loves you!" Jiang Xiaorou heartfully said.

"I should get going now, Daddy will definitely get mad if he knows I'm running around." Xuanxuan ran off quickly.

Jiang Xiaorou watched them from a distance, her eyes unwilling to leave the two children.

Xuanxuan had a cheerful personality, clearly a good child. Duoduo was adorable but never smiled, didn't even talk, a true heartbreaker.

"Ah! What's the matter with you!" a waiter yelled at Jiang Xiaorou.

The waiter was passing by with a dish when he bumped into Jiang Xiaorou, not only spilling the dish but also staining her jacket, and then even tried to blame her, since Jiang Xiaorou's clothes told everyone that she too was a waitress.

"What do you mean what's the matter? I haven't moved from here, you bumped into me and you're asking what's the matter? Call your manager over," Jiang Xiaorou assertively said.

Being wrongfully accused, Jiang Xiaorou was naturally angry, and she ignored the fact that she was now just a waitress, not someone feared like the God of Wealth.

"Even if you call the manager, it's your fault, unless you think you have a relationship with the manager who'll cover for you?" the waiter sneered, clearly trying to pin the blame on Jiang Xiaorou.

At this moment, Jiang Yufei had just returned from the restroom and saw this scene, immediately rushing over.

Slap! A slap landed unexpectedly on Jiang Xiaorou's face.

"What's going on with you? Do you know how expensive this outfit is? What kind of waitress are you, have you not been professionally trained? Call your manager, I want to make a complaint," Jiang Yufei arrogantly and assertively said.

It was too good an opportunity for Jiang Yufei not to use.

She was betting with Jiang Xiaorou whether she could sign a contract with TM Group; whoever did would win. This was happening on TM's territory, and she believed the God of Wealth was probably watching. If she could disgrace Jiang Xiaorou now, proving her to be worthless, likely no one would dare do business with her, and Jiang Yufei intended to remove any chances Jiang Xiaorou had to negotiate.

"Jiang Yufei, setting aside whether or not I dirtied your dress, since when do you have the right to hit me just because it might be? Or do you think you're way too cool, relying on Mr. Shen's support, that you can just hit a waitress whenever? Is this what Mrs. Shen's upbringing teaches?" Jiang Xiaorou retorted righteously.

Since Jiang Yufei was intent on courting disaster, let her go ahead. Intentionally dragging Mr. Shen into this, she wanted to see if he would protect Jiang Yufei, to know how deep their relationship was.

At this moment, everyone's eyes uniformly turned towards Shen Yancheng, eager to see his reaction.

"Don't try to change the subject here. Dirtying my clothes is your fault. Now you're trying to shift the blame, as if you want to shirk responsibility. If you don't call your manager out today, I won't let this go." Jiang Yufei was relentless.

She wasn't afraid to make a big deal out of it, because she was right after all! The clothes in Jiang Xiaorou's hands were indeed dirty!

"It seems, Mrs. Shen is determined to make a scene here today. Now I've seen what kind of manners rich man's wife has." Jiang Xiaorou sneered with disdain.

Shen Yancheng frowned slightly and walked over with Duoduo in his arms.

"It's just a piece of clothing; if it's dirty, just buy another one. Why purposely make things difficult? Let it go," Shen Yancheng said indifferently.

He looked cold, but he was actually a sensible person.

"How is this just about a piece of clothing? This waitress did it on purpose, and she even mocked the Shen family just now. Mr. Shen, can you really just watch this happen? Now even a little waitress dares to step on your head?" Jiang Yufei pouted angrily and glared at Mr. Shen.

"Regardless, she has to compensate me and apologize today; otherwise, I will sue their hotel until it closes, and see who still dares to protect her." Jiang Yufei was uncompromising.

Although she was also afraid of making Mr. Shen mad, she really didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

"Mrs. Shen really talks big!"

Upstairs, Xu Feng walked down exuding an aura of authority, which was usually seen coming from Jiang Xiaorou.

He had been busy upstairs and hadn't noticed Jiang Xiaorou being bullied until now. His own big BOSS being bullied? Xu Feng wouldn't let the perpetrator off easily!

"It's just a piece of clothing. If Mrs. Shen wants it, I'll buy a hundred sets and send them to your home tomorrow. Why so aggressive, making others laugh at the Shen family? I guess Mr. Shen must be losing face!"

Xu Feng spoke perfectly, with the last half intended for Mr. Shen to hear.

Obviously, Mr. Shen's face had already turned ugly, and if it weren't for the crowd, he would have flipped out by now.

Jiang Yufei frowned tightly, realizing the situation wasn't simple. Xu Feng, the general manager's assistant of TM Group, why was he here defending Jiang Xiaorou? Could it be that Jiang Xiaorou and Xu Feng had hooked up? If so, it would not be easy to deal with.

"Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? It's just a piece of clothing, just throw it away, I never care about such things," Jiang Yufei had to step down.

Really offending Xu Feng could mean no more business dealings.

"But we can't let Mrs. Shen suffer a loss. The clothes will be sent tomorrow, but about that slap earlier, shouldn't Mrs. Shen give an explanation?" Xu Feng was naturally seeking justice for his big BOSS.

Jiang Xiaorou silently praised Xu Feng in her heart for a job well done, and decided to give him a raise back at work.

Jiang Yufei smiled awkwardly, she hadn't expected Xu Feng to go through such lengths for Jiang Xiaorou. Was he trying to make her apologize? What a joke, if she had to apologize in public, wouldn't that be utterly humiliating? Even Mr. Shen couldn't save face!

Jiang Yufei thought for a moment and then walked a couple of steps forward, whispering in Xu Feng's ear, "Mr. Xu, she's just a waitress, you don't need to go so far for her! Why not let bygones be bygones? Why damage everyone's harmony over a mere waitress, right?"

A mere waitress?

Just these few words were enough to infuriate Xu Feng. In his heart, Jiang Xiaorou was a goddess, the big BOSS, the God of Wealth, unique and incomparable, and here Jiang Yufei demeaned her like this?

"Really? It seems Mrs. Shen really likes to bully the weak. If that's the case, we might have to reconsider our cooperation with Shen Group," Xu Feng said nonchalantly while picking at his nails.

TM Group and Shen Group have an existing partnership, having just finalized a contract a few days ago with a substantial investment. If it were to fall through because of Jiang Yufei's few words, Shen Yancheng might tear her into pieces.
