Chapter 550: Chapter 430: The Successive Traps for Shen Qingning

Cheng Zhu hadn’t expected at all that this ticket scalper would be so unreliable as to mail out the concert tickets the very next day.

He had clearly instructed him, it would be best to mail them on Friday, send them directly via SF Express, that way they could ensure delivery to the villa complex on Saturday or Sunday.

But sometimes, sellers just tend to be a bit unreliable!

However, this is also normal, much like his own experiences in e-commerce; with his team shipping so many items every day, some minor mishaps are bound to occur.

Moreover, it’s very likely that this type of ticket scalper is part of a syndicate; not all tickets are in the hands of one person, the tickets circulate.

Therefore, the three tickets that Cheng Zhu bought may not necessarily have been mailed by this particular person.

As for why Cheng Zhu chose such a delivery time, firstly he wanted to ensure that Shen Qingning would sign for the package herself, and secondly, he didn’t want to give her too much time to think!

The longer the time, the more things could change!

At this moment, it wasn’t just Shen Qingning who was baffled, even Aunt Xue, the Shen family’s maid, was a bit confused.

It was she who had picked up the torn-up Shanghai concert ticket and handed it to Shen Qingning.

She had been somewhat puzzled at that time.

And now, not long after that incident, a courier delivered another ticket, only this time the location had changed to Tai City.

But she had been working as a maid for the Shen family for four years and they were all quite satisfied with her, because Aunt Xue didn’t talk much, was observant, worked efficiently and diligently, and also had excellent cooking skills.

Hence, she remained puzzled but didn’t ask any further.

Nowadays, many maids struggle to understand their place, especially those responsible for looking after children.

That’s also why so many people complain, feeling that good maids are hard to find.

While Shen Qingning was lost in thought, she received another WeChat message from Aunt Xue.

"I’ve placed it in your room."

"Okay." Shen Qingning, snapping back to reality, typed her reply.

For some reason, she glanced at Lin Lu next to her with a tinge of guilt.

Little Lu was currently chatting with the girl behind her and hadn’t noticed this.

Seeing this, Shen Qingning immediately locked her phone screen.

Then, her mind became jumbled again.

It couldn’t be helped, Cheng Zhu’s tactics were just too cunning.

Everyone was still speculating whether he had gone to the concert alone, and then, out of the blue, the second ticket was sent to her home!

This could easily lead to a new interpretation, as if the sender were declaring, "I invited you to watch a concert, with emphasis on—go!"

Now look, regardless of his intentions, at least you can’t think he was being dismissive like you assumed at first, right?

You thought he was just going through the motions, fulfilling his past promises towards you with a poor attitude. But... he kept buying tickets!

The sentiment and attitude implied here instantly became different.

But, and this is the key point! When doing these kinds of things, you mustn’t set the bar for sentiment and attitude too high from the start.

After all, the relationship between the three of them was very complicated.

If Cheng Zhu had made his intentions clear from the start, it could easily have caused problems.

But now things were different, now that you didn’t go to the concert and tore up the ticket.

Do your actions not hurt others?

Shen Qingning had actually thought about it later on; she had acted out the "ticket tearing episode" in front of her brother Shen Minglang, and knowing his character, he might have told Cheng Zhu about it!

Often, one must learn to progress gradually and not rush.

And from Cheng Zhu’s action of buying three tickets, it was evident that according to his plans and predictions, he thought, "Ningning will still not go this time."

If she had gone, she wouldn’t be Shen Qingning.

But no matter, Cheng Zhu had plenty of patience.

"You have to take steps one at a time, and eat your meals one bite at a time."

"Taking too large a step might cause a strain, eating too fast might choke you."

Furthermore, weren’t there a pair of cousins in Tai City?

He still didn’t have much interest in the tool person, Zhang Qiqi, but he felt differently about the Innocent Little White Flower, still tender.

And let’s face it, there’s a certain "cheapness" ingrained in men.

In his previous life, he really got tired of Yiyi.

But when confronted with the upgraded high school student version of Yiyi, he really felt different.

In any case, he intended to continue buying concert tickets and keep sending them out.

"Ren ah, I’m really showing my support for your tour this year," Cheng Zhu thought to himself.

"In ancient times, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times; today, I, Cheng Zhu, am fishing for Qingning repeatedly."

—Siege is secondary, winning a heart is supreme!

You really thought last time I was just showing off in front of Wang Anquan?

How many times have I said, you need to read more books!

Indeed, Cheng Zhu’s guess wasn’t wrong.

Shen Qingning’s mind was really, really chaotic after seeing the ticket.

She hadn’t absorbed a thing the entire class, her mind totally adrift.

She began to wildly speculate, and uncertainty started to creep in once more.

The most annoying thing was that Cheng Zhu, this damned man, had made a point to prove his presence by showing up in front of her today, intentionally making an appearance.

With the pride of this self-proclaimed tsundere, she definitely wouldn’t take the initiative to ask Cheng Zhu about the ticket.

However, a thought had taken root in her mind.

"In fact, based on this ticket, one could deduce whether he went to the Shanghai concert alone or not," Shen Qingning thought to herself.

It made perfect sense for Cheng Zhu to travel to Shanghai, a crucial part of Youu Tea’s layout, and Pulin Capital was also located there. To Youu Tea, the city’s importance was second only to Hang City, their headquarters.
