Chapter 316: Don’t Talk Back to Me!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In terms of looks, her Baby was still a notch better.
But this woman was of a different breed.
Her Baby was a little more childlike, while the woman in the black dress seemed more feminine and mature.
The latter… was the type most men liked.
It was worrying that Prince Charming had such a pretty female friend.
“Mm, she’s pretty.” Qiao Mianmian agreed objectively as well.
Although she didn’t quite like Shen Rou as a person, she didn’t deny that she was good-looking.
She had good looks, a good family background, and a good education. She surely was the “Goddess” in many men’s eyes.

“Miss Shen, this way, please.” The waiter politely led her to her reserved seat.
Shen Rou followed behind him and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and looked at the table she was walking past. Her eyes widened as she called out in shock, “Xiao Xin?”
Shen Xin, talking to Qiao Chen, was a little startled. Her expression slightly changed as she greeted her. “Sis.”
Shen Rou looked at her and then at Qiao Chen beside her. She frowned as her voice got more serious. “Xiao Xin, what are you doing here? And who’s this boy beside you?”
Shen Xin looked a little flustered for a moment but quickly calmed herself.
She smiled and got up to introduce him to Shen Rou. “Sis, I’m here for a meal. This is my classmate. He’s called Qiao Chen. Qiao Chen, this is my sister.”
Qiao Chen also got up out of civility.
He nodded towards Shen Rou and greeted her. “Hello, Miss Shen.”
Shen Rou’s brows were raised slightly as she heard his name. She looked at him and asked, “Qiao Chen? Are you the only son in your family?”
This was a strange question.
Even Shen Xin was confused by it.
But Qiao Chen politely responded, “No, I have two elder sisters.”
“Two elder sisters?”
“Yes.”
Shen Rou’s expression was even weirder after she heard his reply.
A flurry of emotions seemed to flash past her eyes as she eyed Qiao Chen for a few seconds. She then suddenly turned to Shen Xin and chided. “Xiao Xin, go home right now.”
“Sis.” Shen Xin furrowed her brows. “I’m just having a meal with my friend. Why are you acting all weird?”
“Just do as I say, don’t talk back to me!” Shen Rou asserted her dominance. “Go home right now. Otherwise, I’ll get Dad to deduct your allowance for this month. Do you hear me!”
Shen Xin was a pampered princess at home.
Her parents all the more indulged her because she was the youngest child.
Shen Rou pretty much did the same for this sister of hers too.
Having been treated like a precious gem since she was a child, Shen Xin had never felt aggrieved or pained at all.
But now, she was being yelled at by her sister who’d always given in to her, and in such a ferocious tone at that. Shen Xin’s eyes turned red as she tipped her chin up defiantly. “Sis, you can dine here, so why can’t I? I’m not going back.
“Why did you flare up at me for no reason? Hmph, you’re being ridiculous.”
Shen Rou’s expression turned awful. “Are you going back or not?!”
