Chapter 19 The Sour Puppy Goes Crazy with Jealousy!

The car finally stopped at a magnificent standalone villa. As soon as the engine died, several servants came forward to handle the luggage.
“Miss Su, we’ve arrived.”
The driver opened the door. Su Niansheng looked up and saw a woman standing tall on the steps.
She wore a moon-white cheongsam, with lilac buttons accentuating her graceful figure. Her long curly hair was pinned up, a few strands falling by her cheeks. Around her neck was a crystal-clear diamond necklace, making her look mature, beautiful, and elegant.
Shen Junxi’s mother, Jian Yan.
Also her mother’s best friend when alive.
Once, they were both the top socialites in Beijing, twin pearls—writing legendary chapters in life, love, and career.
Now, only Aunt Jian Yan remained.
Su Niansheng looked at her, lost in a trance.
If her mother were still alive, she’d surely be as charming, never losing her past glory.
Jian Yan’s eyes welled with excitement when she saw her, unable to contain her emotions as she rushed down, hugging her tightly. “Xiaoqian! My child, you’re finally here—Auntie has waited so long.”
“Aunt Jian Yan.” Su Niansheng came to her senses, a bit embarrassed, scratching her head. “Sorry—Uncle didn’t tell me I was coming here, so I didn’t bring a gift.”
“Silly child.” Jian Yan wiped her tears, amused yet exasperated. “This is your home—why bring a gift? Forgot? If Junxi hadn’t thrown a fit back then, you’d be my goddaughter now!”
“Haven’t forgotten.”
She clearly remembered her fifth birthday—wearing a custom Ariel dress at the party, which made Aunt Jian Yan adore her so much she wanted to make her goddaughter on the spot.
Both families agreed.
Only Shen Junxi objected—whoever dared say “she’s Jian Yan’s daughter,” he’d fight them, like a provoked little beast, fierce yet cute, making others want to tease him.
Grandpa Shen suffered the most—when he said, “In the future, this brother will prepare a dowry for his sister,” Shen Junxi pounced, biting his arm.
It turned blue!
Hence, she once teased him as a “naughty puppy.”
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help complaining. “Last time I wanted him to be my brother, he refused too!”
Jian Yan covered her mouth, laughing.
This kid…
Before, she’d thought narcissistically he opposed sharing mom with others—later learned his real thoughts.
Just being a brother? Of course not satisfied!
“He’s so sly!”
“Mm-hmm!”
“Xiaoqian, shall I show you around the room first?”
“No need, Aunt Jian Yan—I know this place well.”
“This time’s different.”
Jian Yan smiled mysteriously. Su Niansheng was confused.
Entering the villa, she saw the music room filled with rare instruments by world-renowned masters. The wardrobe overflowed with girlish dresses and valuable accessories. Even the island counter’s fine wines were replaced with her favorite drinks. The bedroom, bathroom, private study… all furniture was arranged to her liking, exactly like her old home.
“Aunt Jian Yan, this…”
Su Niansheng was stunned.
“All prepared for you—like it?”
“I like it, but…” She looked at her, flattered. “Isn’t this too wasteful, too much trouble?”
She only planned to stay temporarily, but Aunt Jian Yan’s setup seemed to keep her forever!
“Trouble? You coming solves a big problem for me!”
Su Niansheng: “?”
On the fourth floor, the e-sports room was filled with chaotic game sounds of fighting, killing, brutality, and roars, but the owner was eerily calm.
He held the mouse, staring unblinkingly at the screen.

‘OMG, first time seeing Shiyu Bai respond to Su Niansheng—chased for years, finally progress!’
‘Wow, are they getting together?’
‘I said so—girl chasing boy is easy, especially a top beauty like Su Niansheng—landing the campus heartthrob is just a matter of time!’
‘No way? I just shipped Shen Shao and Su Niansheng—now it’s over?’
‘What nonsense upstairs? Su Niansheng chased Shiyu Bai for years, only has eyes for him—how could she move on?’
‘Exactly—her obsession is campus-wide. Even if the sun rose in the west, she wouldn’t give up.’
‘Don’t you find it weird? Shiyu Bai was so cold to her before—after the soccer match, suddenly changed, taking initiative.’
‘Did Shen Shao become a tool unintentionally?’
‘Who knows—they look so good together in these photos!’
At the bottom of the post, three photos stood out.
First: In a lecture hall, Shiyu Bai sat in front of the girl, slightly turned, gazing tenderly at her assembling a model—a pink butterfly.
Second: Shiyu Bai putting the pink butterfly into his bag.
Third: The girl holding a ship carefully, as if fearing damage—the sail clearly read ‘Shiyu Bai’.
Shen Junxi almost crushed the mouse.
His dark pupils, poisoned, stared at the screen—his terrifying gaze seemed to bore a hole in the boy in the photo.
Outside, the butler’s voice came.
“Young Master, are you done? Lunch is ready. Madam said there’s a distinguished guest today—you must go downstairs to greet them personally.”
He asked once, no response.
Asked a second, third time. On the fourth, a cold, gloomy voice finally came—venting irritation. “Not going!”
“But…”
Before he could finish, a faint cracking sound was heard. Frightened, he ran downstairs.
“Uncle Li, what’s wrong?”
Jian Yan led Su Niansheng down. The butler hurriedly reported. “Madam, check on the Young Master? He seems in a bad mood—stayed in the audio-visual room since last night, didn’t eat—worried something’s wrong.”
“?”
Su Niansheng was confused.
All day—wasn’t he hungry?
What happened?
Jian Yan, used to it, looked at her helplessly. “See? This stinky kid is my big problem. Since puberty, he’s rebellious, picked up bad habits—even his dad and grandpa can’t control him, let alone me. But with you here, Xiaoqian—Junxi’s closest to you since childhood. He’ll listen to you!”
