Chapter 205: Superb Acting Skills

Emily raised her head and looked at Shen Yu in confusion. She then shook her head and said, “No, because I won’t leave my Brother Shen Yu.”

Shen Yu’s eyes instantly turned red. He hurriedly turned his face to the side and said, “Alright, I want to rest. You should quickly go and pack up. It’s time to go downstairs and eat. Tell Second Aunt and the others that I’m a little tired, so I won’t go to eat.”

“Brother, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? I’ll go to the hospital with you.” Emily was very puzzled. He was fine just a moment ago, but what happened all of a sudden?

“Nothing, I’m just a little tired today. You should go and rest first.” Shen Yu turned his head and smiled at Emily. Then, he endured the pain in his knees and got up to push Emily out of his room half-jokingly. He quickly closed the door. Emily stood outside the door with a puzzled look on her face.

On the other side, Old Madam Shen also returned to the room. She saw Shen Yan lying on the armchair. He was no longer as angry as he was in the study at the beginning. The corners of his mouth could not hide the smile on Shen Yan’s face.

“Alright, don’t be too happy. Be careful. Xiao Yu and the others might suddenly come in and know that what you did just now was just an act.” Old Madam Shen glared at Shen Yan unhappily.

Shen Yan stood up with a smile. “I have to thank you for your cooperation. If it weren’t for you, it would have been a little difficult to continue acting.”

“Look at yourself. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand so that I could prepare? Fortunately, we have experienced a lot in the past few years. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to guess your thoughts.”

“Am I not confident? Fortunately, you understand what I mean.” Shen Yan smiled and fawned over Old Madam Shen. Then, he went up and pulled Old Madam Shen to the armchair and sat down. Then, he rubbed Old Madam Shen’s shoulders very attentively.

“What do I understand? That’s because I can’t embarrass you in front of so many children. Now, there are only the two of us. Tell me honestly, have you really made a decision?”

Old Madam Shen slapped Shen Yan’s hand away in annoyance. Now he knew to curry favor with her?

Why didn’t he tell her about the plan? Fortunately, she reacted fast enough, or else she really wouldn’t have been able to catch up.

“Didn’t you see it too? Xiao Zhe only wants to be in the army. Everyone was abroad all year round, and Xiao Hao’s mind isn’t here either. There is no need to mention Xiao Xu and Xiao Nan. They are the same as Third Brother. They are laughing and joking all day long. They actually like to do things that didn’t make sense. The only one left is Xiao Yu.”

“Go away. You’re making it sound like our Xiao Yu was chosen and left behind and you have no choice but to take a fancy to him.” After hearing Shen Yan’s words, Old Madam Shen became even more dissatisfied.

“I said the wrong thing, okay? Xiao Yu has been the smartest child I’ve ever seen since he was young. If nothing had happened to Fourth Brother’s family back then, Xiao Yu wouldn’t have remained silent for so many years. Now that he’s finally recovered, I don’t want him to be hurt again, so I have to force him to become stronger.”

Old Madam Shen did not say anything. Her eyes were full of ridicule as she looked at Shen Yan, as if saying, “Continue to make things up. I’ll see what kind of flower you can make up.” Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked embarrassed. “Alright, I admit that I have selfish motives. But in my opinion, Xiao Yu is indeed the most suitable person to accept the Shen family. Ever since Xiao Yu recovered, haven’t you noticed that Xiao Yu only cares about Millie’s matters? As for the rest, he can’t even be bothered to take a look.”

“I understand what you mean. However, Xiao Yu is only ten years old now. Is there a need to be so anxious to let him learn those things? If this is really decided, he will not be seen for at least ten years once he leaves. Do you really have the heart to do that?”

When Old Madam Shen thought of this, she could not help but blame Shen Yan. Shen Yu was so young, yet he already wanted to groom Shen Yu to become the head of the Shen family. This was not a simple matter.

“So what if I can’t bear it? This is what Shen Yu has to face. Shen Yu has always been revolving around Millie. This is not a good thing for both of them.”

Old Madam Shen fell silent. Although she felt sorry for Shen Yu, Shen Yan’s words were not without reason. Shen Yu had always been revolving around Millie. He would only expose his own weakness in front of others too early. Not only would he bring danger to Emily, but Shen Yu himself would also be in danger.

“So you want to?” Old Madam Shen was a little uncertain? If Shen Yan really intended to do that, she reckoned that the two children would go crazy.

“That’s right. I’ve told Xiao Yu before that I will send him out to learn how to be a leader.”
