Chapter 481: Arrogance Due To Love and Indulgence from Master

Everyone had thought that Ye Yifan was trying to pursue Shen Qianshu.
It was only when Shen Lin’s case was exposed did Lu Mengxi begin to realize that things were not as simple as it seemed. Yet, she did not think much about it back then and even had the delusional thought of Ye Ling protecting Shen Qianshu because of Ye Yifan.
The previous time they were kidnapped, she thought that Gu Xie was the one who had helped them.
Now she knew.
It was Ye Ling!
Right, no wonder she’s so arrogant and conceited. After all, she has Ye Ling’s love!
She’s so daring!
She had told Shen Qianshu before that she was Ye Ling’s fiancée. How did Shen Qianshu mock her in her head back then?
“Do you know what conditions you need to have to be the next Ye Old Lady?” Lu Mengxi said and stared at her calmly. “Firstly, you need to be able to speak no less than eight languages. You need to understand business management, which is the most important thing. Secondly, you need to know about people’s relations. You need to know the complicated relations in the Ye Family. Thirdly, you need a good family background, one that the Ye Family approves of. You can’t miss out on any of these three. If you marry Ye Yifan, you may not need any conditions other than being beautiful. But for Ye Ling… no way.”
Shen Qianshu laughed. “Miss Lu, you’re talking about a business partner and not some romantic partner, huh.”
“Although I was not raised to be the next Ye Old Lady since I was young, I was still raised as the daughter-in-law of an aristocratic family. In your eyes, status may not matter when it comes to love, but in our eyes, benefits are what matters most. It doesn’t matter if Ye Ling loves anyone deeply. The only thing that matters is whether that person is compatible with him. Otherwise, a careless step may turn the family into chaos. He can’t hold up all that responsibility. Otherwise, why do you think he brought you here today? He wants everyone to know who you are and have a grasp on the situation. There’s no way it was not a thoughtful decision. Shen Qianshu, you are not qualified enough to be the woman beside Ye Ling.”
Lu Mengxi said all of that heartlessly. Any other woman who had been chided by her like this would have felt ashamed and uneasy. They would have retreated and become self-conscious. However, Shen Qianshu was never a person who would concede defeat before the battle even began.
Shen Qianshu smiled at Lu Mengxi and said, “Miss Lu, you may be right. I may not have the conditions like you do. I may not have a good family background, and I may not be approved by the Ye Family. But don’t forget that since the beginning of time, whether a woman receives respect from the man’s family depends on how the husband behaves. I don’t mind not being accepted by the Ye Family as long as Ye Ling does. That’s all that matters. Just by this one thing, I am already a winner. As for the other conditions you have mentioned, don’t worry. I am Shen Qianshu. Nothing’s too difficult for me to handle.”
Lu Mengxi scoffed. “You don’t know your place!”
Shen Qianshu laughed brightly. “I spent half of what I had lived crawling out from the darkest pits. I did this because I never concede defeat. You may say that I don’t know my place and that I have high hopes, but I will be the one who is most compatible to Ye Ling, and I will be the woman that Ye Ling loves most. For this, there won’t be much trouble!”
Lu Mengxi hated how Shen Qianshu was acting mighty even though did not know what she was getting herself into.
“You don’t know your place!” Lu Mengxi exclaimed.
“Back at you!” Shen Qianshu laughed.
Lu Mengxi looked at her coldly.
Shen Qianshu said, “Lu Mengxi, you make it sound like the world is going to turn upside down, but that’s all messed up logic. Since the beginning of time, love is about true feelings and sincerity. Conditions and compatibility will not mean much to the love of a couple. You are only in your twenties, but you live life like an old lady. At such a youthful age, you should live an enjoyable and fulfilling life. This is what makes women most attractive!”
