Shen Yi led Xin Luo and stepped into the Shen family’s gate for the second time.
This time, no one dared to block the door.
But just as I passed the entrance and before passing the living room, I heard a sarcastic voice coming from the living room.
"She's just an adopted daughter. I don't know why the old man wants to see her. He should just want to see her himself, but he asked us to come back and wait. I have a lot of business to deal with outside, and I have to discuss Xinchen's marriage. It's such a waste of time!"
Xinluo recognized this voice. She had seen the person who spoke that night.
This is the voice of her grandfather Shen Jun.
Judging from what he said, it seems that the old man and the others still believe that she is Shen Zi's adopted daughter.
"Don't be angry, sir. Be careful not to let the old man hear this and get upset." A gentle and considerate voice consoled.
This is Jiang Yunwen, the stepmother of Shen Yi and Shen Zi, and the biological mother of Shen Wan.
"But you are right. Shen Zi is unlucky and can't support her daughter, so she blames us, her family, for this. Sigh... It's really heartbreaking. It's been a long time since this happened, but she still refuses to forgive the old man."
"That's right. That girl has a short life. She has been weak and sickly since she was a child. If her mother hadn't given birth to her, she wouldn't have died so early. In my opinion, if she was unlucky, she shouldn't have taken the risk of giving birth. She lost her own daughter and still got an adopted daughter."
"Not only did it delay my work, but it also delayed my blind date for Xinchen! I'm telling you, when that girl comes later, I won't be nice to her!"
He had to go through several connections before he was able to contact Mr. Lu.
Originally, Mr. Lu had rejected him, but he changed his mind early this morning and said he could have dinner with him.
Shen Jun was so proud!
He guessed that Mr. Lu must have known that he was going to arrange a marriage for Xinchen, so he agreed.
He knew that with Xinchen in his hands, any noble young man would rush to become the son-in-law of their Shen family.
Xinluo was outside the door at this time and heard everything Shen Jun and Jiang Yunwen said.
She heard Shen Jun repeatedly say her mother had a "short life" and "bad luck".
Xinluo's right hand, which was hanging by his side, had been clenched into a fist unconsciously.
Shen Yi's expression was the same, quite ugly.
But he stopped Xinluo.
"Come on, I'll take you to the study."
Shen Jun never dared to say this to Xiaozi in front of him, but in private, he never avoided suspicion.
Shen Yi hated such a father in every way, even more than he hated Jiang Yunwen.
But he has more important things to do now and doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
"But they..."
"Come with me to meet the old man first. You are his great-grandson, so we must first confirm your identity before we can talk about anything else."
Shen Yi took Xinluo's hand and walked towards the study with a cold face.
…
Xinluo followed Shen Yi into the study.
Seeing the people in the study, Shen Yi frowned slightly.
Xinluo was also a little surprised.
It turned out that there was not only the old man in the study, but also another beautiful girl sitting there.
Her long hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders, her facial features were bright and attractive, and her whole body exuded the grace and elegance of a lady from a noble family.
"Grandpa, I brought Xinluo here." Shen Yi withdrew his gaze from the girl's face and looked at the old man.
Xinluo just felt that the girl looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"It's good that you're here. Xinluo, come here quickly and let your great-grandfather see you." The old man smiled with wrinkles all over his face, and it seemed that he really liked Xinluo.
