Chapter 43: The True Daughter of the Family!

Shen You and Shen Rong sat in the dining room and looked at each other. Not long after, Shen Po and Shen Jun also came back. When the two of them saw the two people sitting in the dining room, they couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

Shen Jun glared fiercely at Shen You and then asked Shen Rong, “Where are Mom and Ah Jiao?”

“Sister Jiao said that she wasn’t feeling well, so Mom accompanied her back to her room,” Shen Rong answered truthfully.

Shen Po frowned when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything.

He looked at Shen You and asked, “How are your preparations going?”

Shen You was still a little afraid of Shen Po. She answered honestly, “I’ve been working hard to prepare, so it should be alright.”

“Alright?” Shen Jun snorted, his tone full of disdain. “Her?”

“I can’t be bothered to look at her! I’ll go and see Ah Jiao!” As Shen Jun spoke, he stood up and left the dining room.

Seeing that Shen Jun had left, Shen Rong pointed with his nose and said to Shen Po, “Sister You is very powerful!”

“How do you know?” Shen Po looked at Shen Rong with an expression full of scrutiny.

Shen Rong shrunk his neck and said, “I asked her to help me solve a few questions just now. Her train of thought is very good!”

Shen Po turned to look at Shen You. Shen You did not dare to show her pride in front of Shen Po. She could only lower her head quietly.

“Go to my room later! I want to test you.” Shen Po’s tone did not allow Shen You to refuse.

Shen You looked at Shen Po with a wronged expression and then Shen Rong with a mournful expression. Shen Rong wanted to say something to save her, but he was also afraid of his eldest brother!

Just as Shen Rong was hesitating on how to save sister you without putting himself in a difficult situation, Shen Po’s voice sent him straight to hell.

“You come over later, too.” Shen Po stared at Shen Rong with bright eyes.

Shen Rong opened his mouth and wanted to ask for help, but there was nothing he could do now…

The three of them waited for a long time, but Li Ru still didn’t come down. Shen Po called the maid and ordered the dishes to be served, while he walked to Shen Jiao’s room.

Not long after, Li Ru, Shen Po, and Shen Jun appeared in the dining room again.

Li Ru looked at Shen You apologetically. “Xiao You, sorry to have kept you waiting. Ah Jiao was really…”

As Li Ru spoke, she subconsciously paused.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen You’s lips. It could not be said whether it was a smile of tolerance or bitterness. “It’s alright.”

Shen You’s understanding made Li Ru feel a little guilty.

She sat back at the main seat and saw that the dishes had been served. She said, “Let’s eat first.”

Shen You nodded and sat quietly at her seat. She ate quietly.

After a meal, Shen You was extremely missing the days when she ate at the Xie family home. She thought to herself with some resentment that she would never return to this family for dinner again!

Li Ru gently wiped the corners of her mouth and signaled the servants to serve the after meal desserts.

At this time, Li Ru started talking about the important matter of calling Shen You back.

“Xiao You, I heard that you and Zhao Nan are classmates now?” Li Ru said, her gaze fixed on Shen You’s face.

When Shen You heard Zhao Nan’s name, she froze.

She turned to look at Li Ru and nodded. “Yes! But I’m not familiar with him!”

Li Ru nodded slightly, then said, “Do you know that the Shen family and the Zhao family are engaged?”

Shen You frowned and wanted to say that she did not know, but this lie could not stop anything.

“I’ve heard of it…” Shen You answered honestly.

However, what she did not say was that she had not only heard of it, but had also been engaged to Zhao Nan!

At that time, she had treated Zhao Nan as the only person she could rely on in her life! Now that she thought about it, it was really laughable!

Li Ru did not notice the change in Shen You’s mood. She only said, “I want the two of you to finalize this marriage as soon as possible.”

Shen You turned to look at Li Ru and asked seriously, “If I didn’t come back, how should this marriage be decided?”

Being asked in this manner, Li Ru was a little hesitant. It was not that she had not thought about this question.

The two families had always believed that Zhao Nan and Shen Jiao were the real couple for more than 10 years. If Shen You didn’t come back, then Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan would definitely be the ones who would be engaged!

But… the current situation…

Shen You looked at Li Ru’s struggling expression and suddenly felt a sense of hope.

She continued to try her best to persuade, “Shen Jiao is also the daughter of the Shen family. I think she should be the one who should be engaged!”

When Shen Jun heard this, he immediately raised both his hands to reject, “No!”

Shen Po also immediately said, “No!”

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other. Shen Jun naturally did not dare to say out the reason for his rejection and immediately shut up.

Shen Po’s gaze swept over Shen You and then he looked at Li Ru, “It should be engaged by Shen You! She is the true daughter of the Shen family!”

Shen Po’s words caused everyone present to fall silent.

Shen Jiao was standing by the corridor. When she heard these words, her hands were tightly clasped together.
