The affair between Chen Shujing and Shen Mingxiao was not widely publicized, for the sake of their reputations.
To outsiders, Chen Shujing and Shen Mingxiao had a platonic friendship, built on a mutual admiration of their talents.
But Madam Chen was Chen Shujing's own mother. How could she not know why her son was so invested in the Shen family's affairs?
Hearing her son, she instantly understood. "Are you still brooding over the matter with Miss Shen?"
Shen Mingxiao was talented and beautiful, and very mature for her young age. Despite her difficult circumstances, she never complained or blamed others. She did her utmost to protect herself and Shen Mingji.
Madam Chen had a certain admiration for such a young woman.
Compared to the types who just cried and passively accepted their fate, Shen Mingxiao was countless times stronger.
A pity her fortune was thin, and she passed away so early.
