I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Shen Rou asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Qiao Mianmian chuckled again. “It sounds like Miss Shen is doing this for my own good. I’m really touched that you’re so thoughtful towards me.”

Shen Rou said, “Qiao Mianmian, I hope you can be more realistic. If Aunt Mo doesn’t agree with you and Ah Si being together, do you think you can still be happy together? Aunt Mo is still Ah Si’s biological mother. He can’t possibly abandon his own mother for you.”

“Oh, I understand.” Qiao Mianmian pretended to be enlightened. “Miss Shen is here to persuade me to divorce Mo Yesi. Am I right?”

Shen Rou was furious. “If you know your place, you should know what’s best for you.”

The waiter from the cafe came over with the coffee they’d ordered. Qiao Mianmian took her cup and slowly took a sip. Then, she looked up at Shen Rou and said, “I’ll be honest with Miss Shen too. Although you’ve put in so much effort for my sake, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you.”

Qiao Mianmian took another sip of her coffee and smiled. “I’m sorry, I don’t intend to divorce my husband. I don’t have that intention now, and I won’t have it in the future. Miss Shen, you don’t have to persuade me anymore.”

“Qiao Mianmian, do you really think that you can remain as the Second Young Madam of the Mo family just because you’re clinging onto him?” Shen Rou was furious at her for being so insensible.

“That’s between me and my husband. This has nothing to do with Miss Shen, right?” Qiao Mianmian’s tone was still calm, but there was a hint of coldness to it. “It’s not good for Miss Shen to be so worried about other people’s family matters.

“Although the Shen and Mo families are long-time friends, and you and my husband have been friends since you were young, Miss Shen is still an outsider, after all. Aren’t you going a little overboard by keeping an eye on other people’s family matters and interfering in the marriage of a friend and his wife?

“Miss Shen, you should know that when it comes to matters between husband and wife, besides settling it on your own, even the interference of family members is unnecessary. Moreover, Miss Shen, you’re not even considered family.” Qiao Mianmian’s tone was cold when she spoke the last sentence.

She felt that Shen Rou didn’t know what was going on.

Could it be that she’d been too gentle to her the previous two times, so she felt like she was a pushover?

Did she think she was a cat?

“So what.” Shen Rou sneered. “Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, an outsider like me has a higher status in the Mo family than you do. Aunt Mo’s daughter-in-law is still me. So what if you’re married to Ah Si? Besides Ah Si, no one in the Mo family will acknowledge your status.”

“Qiao Mianmian, your background and career are tarnishing the Mo family’s reputation. If people find out that Ah Si married a woman like you, do you know that he and the entire Mo family will be laughed at?

“A wife like you is simply not presentable.”

Qiao Mianmian couldn’t help but laugh again. “I’m so unpresentable, so you’re shamelessly eyeing my husband and trying to ruin our relationship? Miss Shen, even if I’m unpresentable, at least my values are right. I know I can’t covet a married man.”
