Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“You are comparing me with Shen Lin?” Shen Qianshu showed a disdainful and arrogant smile. “How is she worthy!”

Fang Xia looked at her in shock. “You… ”

“Have I rubbed salt on your wound? I had been so tolerant towards Shen Lin. She planned to harm me so many times, but I never once took revenge. I kept thinking. Yes, I snatched away fifteen years of her life, so she was indignant and wanted to vent out. No problem, I could take it. Since you said that I had made things difficult for her, I took responsibility for the crime. But who is Shen Lin? Based on how you are comparing her to me, what I have today is a result of depending on myself to work hard. With Lin Xiaojuan’s support and my own hard work, I can stand on the clouds. I don’t steal, I don’t snatch, and I don’t fight. I am not like Shen Lin, who took control of my designs and still has a proud look. Those things which she had designed on her own were unsightly. Little talent and shallow knowledge means little talent and shallow knowledge. If I were you, I would guide her to be down-to-earth and learn the basic theories of design. Have her to look at more design works within and outside the country to raise her outlook instead of repeatedly thinking of ways to get her hands on my design works. To say something that isn’t nice, the things I have sold do not belong to me anymore, but those things that have made her famous are also not considered hers. Does she not have any idea of it?”

“Hence, Mom, you don’t compare me to Shen Lin. She is not worthy!” Shen Qianshu’s gaze was cold. “You have raised me for 18 years, and you are my senior. I used to love you a lot. When you did something wrong, I did not comment because when I did something wrong at that time, you had also protected me with all your heart. You had never lectured me, never said to me, ‘this was wrong, Qianshu. You shouldn’t have done that,’ so I knew that you were shielding me blindly. Without any reason, you had also treated me this way in the past. Now, I realized that this was very hurtful. Mom, I could also cover up, but I could distinguish between right and wrong. If Tong Hua did something wrong, I would punish him and teach him. I hope that my son will be an upright and magnanimous gentleman in the future.”

Fang Xia’s face turned pale upon hearing Shen Qianshu’s words. She was anxious and angry and also felt that she was being humiliated and stepped on. She was angry with Shen Qianshu for having no considerations for her feelings. In any case, the Shen family had also raised her for 18 years.

“Qianshu, can’t you try to understand Mom? I wish so much that both of you can get along harmoniously. Both my daughters are by my side. After the design competition, Xiaolin has been crying in front of me every day. We got her so high up and really can not bear to let her fall down. Qianshu, on account that Mom had once loved you so much, could you help her once again? She needs to compete once again so that she can hold her head high.”

“This year, I have already drawn two pictures for her. Blame it on her being too greedy and using up all my series of works. I had already warned her that as a designer, to have an outstanding piece of work every year would be enough to maintain her popularity. She did not listen. What choice do I have?” Shen Qianshu had already calmed down. “You feel helpless and sad not being able to help her, but it is her own bad doing. She has to taste it herself. I can’t help.”

“Qianshu! If the Shen family did not exist, there wouldn’t be you. How could you be so heartless?”

Shen Qianshu’s heart was in great turmoil. She had already predicted that Fang Xia would mention about having to be grateful for raising her. This was a trump card, and she had already prepared for it, to go heads on against the blade. She did not expect that this was still so painful.

Little Tong Hua was so angry that he was about to explode, and his face had turned red. “Shameless, you are a family of bloodsuckers. Back then, even if you all did not raise Mommy, my mommy would have still grown up. You all had only raised her by chance. How much money is needed to buy these 18 years of kindness? You name a price, I’ll give it you!”
