Qin Shu had just walked to the door when Ning Meng, who had been waiting at the door, hurried over and took the backpack from Qin Shu.

  “Young Madam, Miss Xu Wei is here. She’s in the living room. She said that the old madam had asked her to come and teach you etiquette and how to socialize in high society so that you can help Sir in the future,” Ning Meng said in a low voice.

  Qin Shu frowned. The old madam had asked her to teach her etiquette and how to socialize?

  One could count the number of banquets, banquets, charity events, and other events that Fu Tingyu had attended. Furthermore, he never brought a female companion with him.

  Otherwise, people wouldn’t say that he was cold-blooded and violent. They said that he was an ascetic Prince Charming who didn’t like women.

  “Let’s go in and take a look.”


  Qin Shu strode in.

  Ning Meng followed behind Qin Shu and asked softly, “Should we call Sir and ask him to come back?”


  “No need.”


  She wanted Fu Tingyu to come back even later so that Xu Wei would make a wasted trip.

  Qin Shu walked into the living room and saw Xu Wei sitting on the sofa elegantly. Her back was straight and she was wearing a light yellow strapless dress. Her legs were clasped together and tilted to the left while she flipped through a book. She looked as if she was very absorbed in the book.

  She was indeed a daughter of a wealthy family who had received high-class etiquette lessons. She looked so dignified and elegant even when no one was around.

  However, this light yellow one-piece dress that revealed her shoulders made Qin Shu inexplicably think of a yellow duckling! ! !

  Qin Shu leaned into Ning Meng and whispered a few words into her ear.

  Ning Meng could not help but smile when she heard that.

  Qin Shu walked evenly to the glass coffee table and said in a neutral voice, “Miss Xu, you are so busy, yet, you still have time to come over.”


  Xu Wei closed the book in her hand and looked up at Qin Shu with a close-lipped smile.

  “Of course, I’ll take Grandmother’s instructions to heart. Besides, Tingyu and I are friends. It’s only right.”


  “It’s been hard on you, Miss Xu.”


  Qin Shu then looked at Ning Meng. “Go prepare tea and fruits for Miss Xu.”


  “Young Madam, I’ll go right away,” Ning Meng emphasized the words ‘Young Madam’ heavily. Then, she turned her head and walked out of the living room.

  Xu Wei was stunned for a few seconds when she heard Ning Meng address Qin Shu as ‘Young Madam’ again. She thought to herself that Qin Shu must have secretly given Ning Meng a lot of benefits, which was why Ning Meng addressed her like that.

  Qin Shu walked over to the sofa across Xu Wei and sat down. She spread her legs and reached out to grab a glass of water from the glass coffee table, preparing to pour a cup of water for herself.

  When Xu Wei saw this, she pursed her lips and chuckled. “Qin Shu, it would be rude of you to sit in such a manner if there’s a distinguished guest around.”


  Qin Shu poured herself a glass of water and took a sip from it. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xu Wei. “I used to wear a skirt but Yu felt that wearing a skirt was too fastidious, so he changed them to pants. This way, I won’t care so much when I sit down. Those who can come to our house as guests are not outsiders, so there’s no need to be so fastidious.”


  The smile on Xu Wei’s lips froze. She glanced at the pants Qin Shu was wearing. She had wondered just now why Qin Shu was not wearing a pleated skirt. So it was Fu Tingyu who had changed them.

  “You’re right. It’s just that such an action would make you a laughing stock outside. So, it’s better for you to learn. Otherwise, with Tingyu’s status there, it wouldn’t be good for others to laugh at you,” Xu Wei reminded her out of goodwill.

  “What you said makes some sense. It’s just that Yu said that with him around, no one would dare to laugh at me.” Qin Shu’s voice had a hint of helplessness in it.

  What she meant was that with him spoiling her, she could do whatever she wanted. No one would dare to say anything about her.

  Xu Wei’s expression grew a little twisted. Indeed, no one would dare to laugh at her in front of Fu Tingyu, or laugh at him.

  This did not mean that Qin Shu had the right to be proud.
