Chapter 272 - Men Are All Pigs
This interaction with Shen Rou completely changed Qiao Mianmian’s impression of her.
She’d already sensed Shen Rou’s unfriendliness towards her during the meal before. But with the others around, Shen Rou acted rather normally.
She hadn’t acted overboard.
But just now…
That sense of overpowering jealousy and mean words really ruined her image as a rich girl.
Although she didn’t scream like a shrew, that jealous look on her face was awful.
Even if her background was good, and her looks were nice, the way she presented her bitter envy really looked bad on her.
Thinking about how this was all because of Mo Yesi, Qiao Mianmian couldn’t help but feel upset at him too.
This was his fault, why was she the one who had to bear the brunt of it?
In this moment of unhappiness, she sent a text message to Mo Yesi: [Men are all pigs, hmph.]
…
Mo Yesi was in the study room when he heard his cell phone vibrate. When he saw that it was a text message from Qiao Mianmian, he immediately opened it.
It read: [Men are all pigs, hmph.]
Mo Yesi was speechless.

He didn’t understand what she meant and quickly replied out of curiosity: [?]
Qiao Mianmian responded instantly too: [Mo Yesi, tell me, do you like me?]
Mo Yesi was slightly stunned by her question.
He read the message from her over and over again, wondering why she would ask such a question.
He’d probably wondered for too long, for Qiao Mianmian sent in another reply impatiently: [Forget it, you don’t have to answer me. Take it that I didn’t ask.]
Mo Yesi furrowed his brows.
He asked: [Are you alright?]
Qiao Mianmian: [I’m fine, it’s nothing. Carry on with your work, don’t bother about me.]

Mo Yesi eyed his cell phone for a few seconds and then turned towards his unfinished document. He shut his laptop and walked out the door.
He found that something was off with Qiao Mianmian.
She should be asleep by now.
But she’d sent him a message instead. And a strange one at that.
He was worried.
When he opened the door, he saw Uncle Zhang standing outside with his hand reaching out, as if he was about to knock on his door.
“Second Young Master.” Uncle Zhang quickly greeted him.
Mo Yesi nodded and asked, “Uncle Zhang, is anything the matter?”
Uncle Zhang nodded. “Second Young Master, I just saw Miss Shen coming out from your and Young Madam’s room. Miss Shen didn’t look too good. I’m worried that she and Young Madam might have had a conflict, so I came to inform you.”
Actually, Uncle Zhang wasn’t worried about Shen Rou feeling aggrieved whatsoever.
He was worried about Qiao Mianmian instead.
Everyone in the Mo family knew that Shen Rou liked Second Young Master.
Shen Rou came from a good family and was pretty too. Moreover, she was of age to get married, and many families out there would want to ask Shen Rou for her hand.
Over the years, more and more people had been introduced to her.
Among these people, most were eligible bachelors from rich families as well.
But Shen Rou rejected all of them.
She’s denied some of them a chance before even meeting them.
And it was all because she only had Second Young Master in her heart. He was the only person she wanted to marry.
