Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1030 - 1029: Scolding

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1029: Scolding

The charity gala this time involved essentially everyone, with some donating and others participating in the auction.

Such high-level auctions were typically extravagant money-burning dinners.

And the charitable proceeds amassed were astronomical figures.

Gu Shaoting was still exchanging pleasantries with the organizers, while Shu Pan and Gu Huanhuan chatted leisurely on the side.

Shen Yue, fuming with anger, approached them, “Gu Huanhuan, what do you mean by that? Deliberately driving up the price and then not bidding?”

Gu Huanhuan was stunned for a moment before grasping the meaning behind her words.

“If you like it, I’ll let you have it. Besides, 20 million is a bit of a stretch for me,” Gu Huanhuan explained.

“A single film’s salary for you is tens of millions, why bother making yourself out to be so pitiful?” Shen Yue taunted.

“Miss Shen, it really isn’t as good as you think. You got what you wanted, aren’t you happy? You also did charity, killing two birds with one stone. Everyone will remember your good name,” Gu Huanhuan said earnestly.

“Don’t give me that cold comfort. If it weren’t for you deliberately antagonizing me, I wouldn’t have had to pay such a high price,” Shen Yue’s tone was aggressive, her eyes seeming to shoot flames.

“Miss Shen, we’re here for charity. Speaking like that doesn’t look good on you,” Gu Huanhuan said calmly and composedly.

Indeed, charity meant bidding higher than the item’s worth out of one’s own free will. How could it be a setup by someone else? If you can’t afford it, don’t bid.

Complaining after the fact really was beneath one’s dignity.

Shen Yue was left speechless by the rebuke. She had no grounds for argument, as it was indeed the case. She could only swallow the bitter pill herself; to persist would only bring her further embarrassment.

She glared at Gu Huanhuan before walking away with Song Ying, but the venomous look she left behind was enough to send a shiver down one’s spine.

“Huanhuan, are you okay? In the future, it’s best to keep your distance from her,” Shu Pan said, a bit worried.

“It’s fine, she’s just all talk. I doubt she can do anything too outrageous. After all, what can a rich young lady like her really do?” Gu Huanhuan didn’t take the incident to heart.

It was precisely because of Gu Huanhuan’s disregard that a tragedy ensued later on.

…

Afterwards, Gu Shaoting took Shu Pan home, and incidentally dropped Gu Huanhuan off as well. Uncle Wen was away these last few days, so Gu Huanhuan was greeted by silence upon returning home.

However, Shen Yue’s return home was not so simple.

As night fell, the Shen Family estate appeared still and quiet, shrouded in darkness.

In the brightly lit hall, as soon as Shen Yue stepped in, a loud “bang” sounded at the entrance. The Shen Family patriarch, sitting at the head of the room, angrily swept a teacup off the table to the door, squinting his eyes with irritation, “You good-for-nothing brat, wastrel, the conspicuous tree attracts the wind. You are indeed my fine child.”

Shen Yue, shocked by the sudden splash of tea, then saw her father at the head of the room, his face a mix of blue and black, glaring at her.

“Dad…” Shen Yue was usually the favored one, but she would still get frightened when her dad was truly angry; it was terrifying.

“What were you thinking today? Got a fever in your head? Spending 20 million on a pair of bracelets, if it was in the old days that would be one thing, but don’t you realize the mess your second brother has made, how much money it took to clean up his mess? Yue’er, times have changed; the Shen Family is nothing but an empty shell now, almost following the Zhou’s downfall.”
