Chapter 109: Build a Good Relationship
Xu Ruoqing glared at Shen Feiwan, "Stop spouting nonsense! You're not a three-year-old; you have to take responsibility for your words."
"What responsibility?" Shen Feiwan retorted. "You're using something unrelated to me to make fun of me first thing in the morning. Isn't that just asking for trouble? Besides, is it wrong for me to respond according to your line of thinking and way of speaking? If I'm wrong, then you're even more wrong."
"Ha, you're quite the talker. Isn't this your own problem? When did I ever speak ill of you? It's just that you're overly sensitive, so you see everyone as someone speaking ill of you, right?"
"Yeah, I'm just sensitive, so what? Is it illegal? It's not like I've infected you. If you don't like me, just stay away from me and don't approach me. I'm not one to cause trouble for no reason."
The tension between the two was so high that Bo Chengyang, the easygoing man standing nearby, immediately pulled out a chair and stood up, as if to try to mediate.
Shen Feiwan remained seated, a faint smile playing on her lips. This infuriated Xu Ruoqing.
But before Bo Chengyang could even open his mouth to make peace, Bo Junxing, who had already taken a few steps away, turned back.
He walked over, casually placed one hand on Shen Feiwan's shoulder, raised the other hand, glanced at the time on the watch face, and said to Xu Ruoqing:
“Sister-in-law, you should ask the housekeeper about the household's personnel situation. Wanwan doesn't handle these things and has no way of knowing.”
After saying that, Bo Junxing pulled out a chair for Shen Feiwan, and even his tone became gentle, "Are you done? Let's go."
Shen Feiwan hummed in agreement, glanced lightly at Xu Ruoqing, then took Bo Junxing's arm and walked away with him.
As they walked, the two discussed their upcoming itinerary, completely ignoring Xu Ruoqing.
Just then, Bo Chengyang spoke up again, "What are you doing? Coming in with barbs first thing in the morning. A maid resigned, so what? Why are you telling your sister-in-law all this? I think you're just looking for trouble."
Xu Ruoqing was already furious, and when she saw Bo Junxing defending Shen Feiwan, even jealousy surfaced.
Now that we've compared them, it's truly infuriating to see people like this.
They were born to the same father, so why did she marry a good-for-nothing?
Not only was he a good-for-nothing, but he also had absolutely no idea how to care for or be considerate of his wife.
"Everything I do is wrong! You're the only one who's right. Have you ever cared about your son's well-being? Do you know how much trouble it is for him to lose a familiar nanny?"
"How can I not care? He's looking down on everyone now. Do you think the nanny will be able to keep working like that?"
The two argued, and their voices grew louder and louder.
Shen Feiwan had walked quite a distance when she turned back. "Looks like she's having a bad day and wanted to vent, so she picked me. Do I look like an easy target?"
"I first heard that was true."
"what about now?"
"What do you think? After Shen Hao was arrested, you stopped pretending altogether. You only behaved a little in front of the old man."
"Because I respect the elderly and care for the young, which is a traditional virtue."
Bo Junxing suddenly smiled, then said abruptly, "Oh, right, there's something I just remembered."
"what's up?"
"What you're looking for is something that happened twelve years ago. But the current housekeeper was replaced eleven years ago, and he doesn't know about what happened twelve years ago. Many other staff members have also changed. Only the eldest sister-in-law has been married into the Bo family for over twenty years, and she hasn't worked since she got married. She has been in the Bo family for a relatively long time."
"So you mean I should try to get along with her?"
