Shen Yaoyao didn't know what was going on. "This is impossible. I just got this protective charm, and it smells so good."
But Shen Jinxi refused to go near her, his little face scrunched up, not even looking at her.
Instead, Fu Jingshu grabbed his collar and lifted the little guy, reminding him, "Your tuxedo was a gift from Auntie Shen. If you wrinkle it, you'll have to wash it yourself."
Shen Jinxi really didn't know. Hearing this, he immediately touched his tuxedo with affection, so happy he almost called out "Mommy." He looked at Shen Qingqing with starry eyes.
"Auntie Shen gave it to me? Such a beautiful outfit must have been very expensive. Auntie Shen spent a lot. I really like it."
He had two gifts, but his attitude was clearly different for each.
Everyone present could see it now. The child clearly disliked Shen Yaoyao.
Then they watched Shen Qingqing stroke the little guy's head, and he enjoyed it immensely. This must be what a mother and son are like!
Shen Yaoyao seemed superfluous standing by the side, but she didn't want to leave. She just stood there, making everyone think she was utterly clueless.
Just then, Lu Junze arrived, carrying a very valuable gift.
The gift was in a box, and everyone looked at it with curiosity. He didn't keep them waiting and opened the box, revealing many figurines that children would love.
The key point was that they were all made of gold!
Upon seeing this, only one word came to everyone's mind: wealthy and overbearing!
Shen Jinxi took one look and broke into a brilliant smile. "Thank you, Uncle Lu!"
Lu Junze smiled roguishly, "No need to be so polite with me, Uncle."
Shen Jinxi said cheerfully, "Uncle, you seem to be getting handsomer!"
"Really?" Although Lu Junze knew this was just the little guy's sweet flattery, he couldn't help but smile, his lips almost reaching his ears. "You're so eloquent!"
The two seemed very familiar with each other, and everyone assumed the gift had simply hit the mark with the child. However, Fu Jingshu was deep in thought.
He had never seen these two interact before. When did his son become so glib and familiar?
Over there, Lu Junze picked up Shen Jinxi and even weighed him. "You've gotten heavier."
Shen Jinxi pouted, "Uncle Lu, you're not very tactful. I've grown taller, not heavier!"
Lu Junze burst into laughter, finding the boy even more amusing.
Watching the two interact harmoniously, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but glance at Fu Jingshu. Of course, she took in his expression, but she wasn't worried at all.
After all, no matter how hard Fu Jingshu racked his brain, he would never guess that the child had been switched.
She went to the restroom. When she came out, she bumped into a man. She moved aside, intending to let him pass, but he stopped in front of her.
"Miss Shen, I really like you. After the banquet, can I ask you out for dinner?"
Shen Qingqing was a little stunned. She looked closely at the man. He had an ordinary face but was dressed expensively and spoke in a sleazy manner. He was probably some rich young master. "Do I know you?"
The man smiled slightly, thinking he looked handsome. "We'll get to know each other over dinner later."
Shen Qingqing was repulsed by his smarmy smile and lost interest in talking. "Thank you, but I don't want to have dinner with you. Please move aside."
The man's smile vanished, and he said sternly, "Miss Shen, what are you pretending for? It's your good fortune to be able to latch onto Master Fu, but do you really think Master Fu will marry you?"
"He's just playing around. But if you were with me, although I wouldn't marry you, I could guarantee that you would be my most cherished woman."
"And you don't need to pretend. I know you're interested in me. You looked at me just now, more than once."
Shen Qingqing felt a bit nauseous. Where did this overconfident man come from?
Around the corner, Shen Yaoyao and Fu Jingshu were walking towards them. Shen Yaoyao was saying, "Jingshu, no matter what you see in a moment, you must stay calm. I told you long ago that she's not a good woman. Today, when you see her true colors clearly, it will be a good thing for you and Chenchen in the future..."
As she spoke, they turned the corner and happened to see the man cornering Shen Qingqing and reaching out to touch her face.
The next second, Shen Qingqing slapped him directly!
"Get lost!"
The man was stunned by the slap.
Seeing the cold and stunning woman, Fu Jingshu's lips curved upwards. He strode over and, as the furious man was about to retaliate, grabbed his wrist.
The man still wanted to curse, but the moment he saw Fu Jingshu, he instantly wilted.
Fu Jingshu released his grip and said coldly, "Get lost."
The man immediately scrambled away in a panic.
As he passed Shen Yaoyao, he shot her a hateful look. It was all her fault. She had told him that if Fu Jingshu saw him getting intimate with Shen Qingqing, he would lose interest in her.
But the reality was completely the opposite of what she had said. Fu Jingshu's gaze just now made him feel as though he was about to be killed!
Shen Yaoyao was also angry. Fu Jingshu asked Shen Qingqing solicitously, "Are you alright?"
Shen Qingqing glanced at Shen Yaoyao and smiled warmly and gratefully at Fu Jingshu. "I'm fine. Thank you for helping me out of that situation. That man was so annoying, such an overconfident guy."
"No need to bother with him."
Fu Jingshu and Shen Qingqing left one after another, not even giving Shen Yaoyao a glance.
Shen Yaoyao was almost spitting fire in her rage.
However, seeing Fu Jingshu's concern for Shen Qingqing, she suddenly thought of a plan. Perhaps she could use this to garner Fu Jingshu's sympathy.
After all, she was Fu Jingshu's former fiancée. He wouldn't stand by and watch her be taken advantage of!
She looked around, picking and choosing, and finally set her sights on Lu Junze.
However, Lu Junze had no interest in her. As she acted coy and approached him, he merely cast a cool glance at her, very nonchalantly.
"What is it?"
The colder his attitude, the more spirited Shen Yaoyao became, finding it intriguing. "Can't I just make friends with you?"
She considered herself quite beautiful, so when Lu Junze looked her up and down, she instinctively straightened her back and ostentatiously displayed her figure.
She didn't believe Lu Junze wouldn't be moved when he looked at her. There wasn't a man in the world who didn't appreciate beauty.
Except for Fu Jingshu.
Lu Junze did like beautiful women, but his standards were very high. "I'm sorry, you're not my type. We don't need to be friends."
He turned to leave, but Shen Yaoyao quickly stopped him. "How do you know I'm not your type without even getting to know me?"
She paused, then smiled slightly, exuding elegance and grace.
"Besides, I just want to be friends with you, nothing else. Did you misunderstand?"
Lu Junze had seen this kind of feigned advance and retreat, playing hard to get, countless times. He was too lazy to deal with it. "Miss, can you understand me when I say I'm not interested in you?"
"Whether it's a lover or a friend, I don't want to get involved with you."
