Almighty Daughter Runs The World

Chapter 11: Was Her Requirement Still Not Low Enough?

Madam Cen was born and raised in Yunjing Province. Her ancestral home was in Yunjing Province as well, so she had an intimate relationship with the town that could not be severed.

The upper-class socialites from noble families were undoubtedly beautiful, but she could always feel that something was lacking in them. When it came to getting her grandson a wife, it was still a preference for her that he marry a local from Yunjing Province.

"You're right! Let's choose a good wife for Shaoqing right here in Yunjing Province! Then, we can return to Beijing in glory!" Zhou Xiang added while chuckling, "Mom, I'm with you on this!"

Madam Cen seemed to have recalled something all of a sudden. She continued to speak, "Oh right, was it you who spread the fake news that our Cen family business is in a financial crisis?"

"No." Zhou Xiang shook her head and said with a puzzled expression, "Mom, I thought that it was you who spread the rumor on purpose as a way to sound out the Mu family!"

Had it not been for the fake news, how could they have seen the Mu family members' true selves!?

Madam Cen remarked, "It wasn't me either!"

Then, Zhou Xiang furrowed her brows and said, perplexed, "If it wasn't you or me, who was it then?"

"It was me."

Before the voice died away, a tall, slim silhouette walked into the house from the outside. He had on a classic Chinese robe and a string of bright red prayer beads in his hand. The red mole on the corner of his eye accentuated his sensuality, while his overall appearance was even more delicate than a woman's.

"Shaoqing is home!"

Zhou Xiang looked toward Cen Shaoqing with a smile. The mother and son looked very similar. In addition, Zhou Xiang paid a great deal of attention to her skincare regime, so they looked more like siblings instead!

"Hey, Shaoqing, did you just say that it was you who spread the fake news about the financial crisis?" Madam Cen looked toward Cen Shaoqing.

Cen Shaoqing nodded ever so slightly and moved the prayer beads along. "How did the Mu family react?"

Zhou Xiang answered with a frown, "They acted like snobs! As soon as they found out that our Cen family is in a financial crisis, they immediately cut ties with us! In fact, they had even tried to use 200,000 bucks to humiliate us!"

Despite hearing that, Cen Shaoqing's expression remained as calm and composed as before. He was neither astonished nor furious. It felt as if everything was within his expectation.

"Shaoqing, how come there's not the slightest reaction from you? Your grandma and I put up with them because of you!"

Cen Shaoqing shifted his gaze back to Zhou Xiang. "You will only lower yourself when you quarrel with people like them. Moreover, I told you before that the Mu family's daughter is not a good match. It was you and grandma who persisted in that matter, regardless."

"And what was the purpose of us persisting in that? It's all because of you! You're a heartless scoundrel!" Zhou Xiang was furious.

Cen Shaoqing pursed his thin lips tightly with a rather helpless look on his face.

It made Zhou Xiang seem like a little girl who was being deliberately provocative.

"Shaoqing." Madam Cen turned around to look toward Cen Shaoqing, "Tell me truthfully, do you have someone you like in your heart? If you have that person in your heart, I won't be worried anymore! It will save my time and energy, and I won't be anxious all day long"
