Chapter 2 Tea Talk



Shen Zhaozhao was puzzled for a moment and then lay down.

Never mind. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The treatment here will not be worse than that at my adoptive parents' house.

[Well, after all, someone gave me a big gold bracelet and jade beads, I have to give something back!]

“Yeah!” Shen Zhaozhao nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling, and Shen’s mother couldn’t help but feel a little sour in her nose.

If all this is true, then her good daughter must have suffered so much outside.

Mother Shen walked in front of her daughter, took Shen Zhaozhao’s free hand and looked at her daughter carefully.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, like the gurgling spring water, her nose is delicate and small, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned. Everything seems so perfect, making people feel distressed: "Zhao Zhao, let's go see Dad first, okay?"

Shen Zhaozhao's eyes trembled slightly, and ripples of excitement appeared. This expression naturally did not escape the eyes of Shen's mother. Shen's mother was a little jealous: "Do you like Dad?"

Shen Zhaozhao nodded vigorously.

[I like it, of course I like it. There is a fee for changing my name! I wonder if there are any beautiful mothers who are generous enough!]

Mother Shen, who heard the inner voice, realized what Shen Zhaozhao was thinking. She laughed dumbly, stood up, held Shen Zhaozhao in her palm, and her slightly cool fingertips moistened Mother Shen's heart.

Shen Zhaozhao's hands were not smooth, but covered with a thin layer of calluses. Her finger bones were so thin that one could touch the bones inside. Thinking of Shen Qiannuo, who was spoiled at home and had to soak her hands in milk every night, she felt so weak and boneless. Mother Shen felt like she was hit by a small hammer in her heart.

Sensing Mother Shen's gaze, Shen Zhaozhao raised his head in confusion, looking up at Mother Shen, his eyes as clear and bright as glass beads curved and revealed a smile.

[Hey, a close-range attack from a stunning beauty! I'm going to die!]

Looking at the beauty so close, Shen Zhaozhao couldn't help but touch his face.

[My mom is so beautiful, that’s why I’m so pretty. Thank you for your beautiful genes.]

Mother Shen’s condensed brows softened.

The door opened and she happened to run into Wang Ma, who had a serious expression on her face. Seeing her expression, Shen Ma had a rough idea in her mind. She signaled Wang Ma not to speak and quickened her pace.

When he arrived at the door of the study, the door was wide open, and Shen Qiannuo, who heard the footsteps, came out of the house in a panic and bumped into Shen Zhaozhao.

Mother Shen subconsciously protected her daughter with both hands, frowning and looking at the reckless Shen Qiannuo.

Before Shen's mother could speak, Wang Ma, who was afraid that Shen's mother would be deceived again without knowing the truth, quickly spoke: "Why is the young lady in the study?"

This study is used by Shen's father for his daily work, and Shen Qiannuo rarely comes here.

Mother Shen thought of what Shen Zhaozhao was thinking, and her expression suddenly became complicated, it was all true.

[Of course, it was to steal the plan, the bid document for the next tender plan. It’s a pity that Shen Qiannuo is stupid and took the wrong one. ]

[She used the Shen family's resources to support an outsider, and finally helped an outsider to deal with the Shen family. I really don't know what she was trying to achieve.]

Mother Shen's face was gloomy, and her eyes fell on the document in Shen Qiannuo's hand: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Shen Qiannuo didn’t expect to be bumped into by Shen’s mother, and hid the documents in his hand behind his back with a pale face: “I…I encountered a problem when I was studying, so I wanted to borrow a book from my father to read.”

Mother Shen spread her hands: "What kind of problem is it? Mom will help you take a look?"

Shen Qiannuo's face turned even paler, and her hand holding the document tightened a little. When she saw Shen Zhaozhao next to Shen's mother, she suddenly asked back: "Mom...who is she?"

Mother Shen took the opportunity to introduce: "Nono, this is Zhao Zhao, your sister."

Shen Qiannuo looked at their holding hands, her heart was shocked. Didn't her mother think that Shen Zhaozhao had a bad character and hated her very much? Why were they so close now... What happened?

Her heart was in a mess, but she showed a sweet and soft smile on her face: "Hello sister, I am Qiannuo, you can just call me Nuonuo from now on."

Shen Zhaozhao nodded at her: “Hello.”

The tone was neither intimate nor resistant. Anyway, I was only staying here for two days and wouldn't have much contact with the heroine, so it was fine to be a stranger.

Shen Qiannuo didn't think so. She took Shen Zhaozhao's politeness as contempt. The contempt of a genuine daughter towards a fake like her made her feel wronged and unwilling.

If Shen Zhaozhao hadn't suddenly appeared, she would still be the carefree daughter of the Shen family. Would she have needed to take the risk of stealing the plan and exchanging it for money?

Shen Qiannuo pursed his lips, with tears in his eyes: "Sister doesn't want to call me Nuonuo, doesn't she like me?"

Her pitiful appearance made me feel even more sorry for her, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Shen Zhaozhao was speechless.

[What a deep grudge! You're picking on me even for a friendly greeting. Never mind. Think whatever you want.]

Shen Zhaozhao just put down his words and didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, Shen's mother explained: "Nono, your sister didn't mean that."

If it were in the past, Mother Shen would favor Shen Qiannuo, the daughter she had raised for many years, and she would definitely follow her line of thought and think that what she said made sense, but now after hearing Shen Zhaozhao’s voice, she found that these words were simply throwing dirty water.

Shen Qiannuo didn't expect her mother to speak for Shen Zhaozhao. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "It's Nuonuo's fault. My sister must be a little uncomfortable when she first arrived here. Just relax and treat it as your own home."

[Heh, tea talk, this is my own home.]

Shen Zhaozhao was too lazy to argue with her, so he just nodded: “Yeah.”

Mother Shen frowned, wondering why she had never noticed Nuonuo's sarcasm before.

Shen Qiannuo thought that Mother Shen was unhappy because of Shen Zhaozhao’s indifference, and smiled contentedly: “Then Nuonuo will not disturb mother and sister to talk, and go to study first.”

"Okay, then you go first." Mother Shen didn't mention the matter of looking at the documents again. Zhao Zhao said that she didn't steal the right things, so she didn't think it would cause any big waves.

Mother Shen didn’t continue to pursue the blame, and Mother Wang nervously reminded: “Madam…”

As soon as she started to speak, Shen's mother interrupted her: "Wang Ma, go to the kitchen and stew some bird's nest. Zhao Zhao is so thin, he needs to be nourished."

“Okay, madam.” Seeing that Shen Qiannuo had already slipped away quickly, Wang Ma sighed and had no choice but to agree.

[Hey, Aunt Wang, don't worry. This is the discarded first version of the tender document. The data is all wrong.]

It’s a pity that Wang Ma couldn’t hear it, and her face was still full of worry. A sense of satisfaction rose in Shen Ma’s heart. As expected, for Zhao Zhao, only she was special.

Mother Shen led Shen Zhaozhao upstairs, and didn't see Shen Qiannuo at the corner of the corridor looking at their backs with clenched teeth, his angry eyes wishing he could burn a hole in Shen Zhaozhao.

“Shen Zhaozhao, the Shen family belongs to me. I won’t let you take it away even if it’s just a flower or a blade of grass!” A hint of cruelty flashed in Shen Qiannuo’s eyes.
