Ice and Fire

Whenever John Ye's name was mentioned, Cherry Shen's heart would still ache. Despite trying very hard to forget him, she just couldn't get over him.

"That is nice. My congratulations to you!" Cherry Shen forced a smile. Her voice was calm and she looked unperturbed.

"Well." Jean Shen smirked, "For a slut's daughter, you truly know how to behave."

Jade Qiao rolled her eyes and added, "Exactly. Why can't you follow your mother's steps and disappear for good? Why are you still hanging out with our family and harming us? If you hadn't seduced John Ye, my daughter would have married him long time back. She would have already become the wife of the lieutenant governor."

"Aunt, I am a member of the Shen Clan as well. My father had forbidden me to leave with my mother back then. Besides, John Ye and I were close back when we were at the university..." Before she could finish, Jean Shen slapped Cherry Shen hard on the face.

Jean Shen's hand was still in the air as she snapped at her, "Cherry Shen, bear this in mind. The Shen Clan has only one daughter. That would be me, Jean Shen. I am the deputy CEO of the Shen Group. Who the hell are you? You are nothing but a lowly team leader in the business department. How dare you even compare yourself with me? How dare you even try to compete with me?"

Cherry Shen's face was burning with pain. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Jade Qiao's cold words echoed in her ears, "Cherry Shen, I am already doing you a favour by letting you stay in the villa. Your slut mother seduced your father and had you. Fortunately I was able to chase her away, otherwise it would be her sitting in the villa today!"

"Aunt, this is not true. Back then, my mother and father were in love. You were the one who stepped between them and coerced my father into marrying you, as you were pregnant with his child. You are the family breaker here." Cherry Shen angrily glared at her. She might tolerate insults from Jade Qiao about herself, but she definitely would not put up with Jade Qiao bad-mouthing her mother.

"You little bitch." Jade Qiao sprang up from her seat and was about to punch Cherry Shen in her face. However, Harrison Shen blocked her attack in time.

Jade Qiao yelled at Cherry Shen in rage, "Did your mother tell you this bullshit? Cherry Shen, I am telling you, I am the one who got pregnant first. Your mother was a typical loser. She doesn't have the fortune to be a lady. My family helped the Shen Clan a lot back then. It is only natural that I be with your father now. You should just shut the fuck up!"
