“Knock, knock, knock.”
Shen Boyan was thinking about how to get some information out of Shen Zhaozhao indirectly when there was a knock on the door and Lin Qing walked in.
"Boyan, Assistant Xu called and said the company has something to discuss with you."
Shen Boyan was shocked. No way, could the bankruptcy come so quickly?
[Assistant Xu? He's not a good person. He has a very bad conscience.]
Shen Boyan paused, and Lin Qing was also surprised. This Assistant Xu looked gentle and worked hard and seriously. He was promoted from the bottom by Shen Boyan, but he was not a good person?
Assistant Xu is also here for the tender proposal. Everyone's eyeing it. It seems this tender is a particularly tempting piece of fat meat.
[Tsk tsk tsk, with Assistant Xu outside and Shen Qiannuo inside, this huge Shen Group has been eaten away by termites and is leaking air from all sides. No wonder it collapsed.]
Shen Boyan's face suddenly turned cold. No wonder the information provided by Assistant Xu did not include the true situation of Zhao Zhao at his adoptive parents' home. It turned out that he was the one who tampered with it.
And Shen Qiannuo, he was not too surprised by the behavior of this adopted daughter who was a traitor.
In fact, apart from the fact that Lin Qing really doted on Shen Qiannuo, he had never invested real fatherly love in her, because he believed that his Zhao Zhao would come back, and he was willing to keep Shen Qiannuo just to comfort Lin Qing's heart.
Now that Zhao Zhao is back, Shen Qiannuo is useless. When the time comes, spend some money to send her abroad. Don’t let her affect the Shen family and Zhao Zhao.
"Work is not as important as my daughter. Tell him that if there is anything, we can deal with it tomorrow."
Shen Boyan already had a plan in mind. He would definitely not be able to catch anything if he went to find Assistant Xu now. He had to make him anxious first so that he would reveal his true intentions.
Lin Qing understood his intention immediately and nodded, "That's perfect. I asked Aunt Wang to make some supplements for Zhao Zhao. Let's go have afternoon tea with our daughter first."
The family of three walked towards the restaurant talking and laughing, and ran into Shen Qiannuo who was also going there.
Shen Qiannuo looked at the happy family and unconsciously clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. They had just met, and they were already so affectionate. Was this the natural closeness of blood?
But this Shen Zhaozhao behaves vulgarly and lacks the elegance of a daughter of a noble family. How can she compare to herself!
She forced herself to smile and said softly, "Dad, Mom, are you guys coming to have afternoon tea too?"
It was visibly seen that the smiles on Shen Boyan and Lin Qing's faces faded a little.
Shen Boyan embraced Shen Zhaozhao: “Qian Nuo is here too, let me introduce you, this is your sister, the eldest lady of our Shen family.”
He deliberately put emphasis on the three words "Miss".
Shen Qiannuo's face froze, and her expression suddenly became a little ugly. She could hear that Shen Boyan was emphasizing Shen Zhaozhao's status in the family to her.
[Ah, is this my biological father? If you draw hatred towards me like this, when Shen Qiannuo gains power in the future, he will surely retaliate against me to death.]
Shen Zhaozhao groaned inwardly, and her two delicate eyebrows twisted together.
Shen Boyan took the opportunity to observe Lin Qing's expression. Seeing that Lin Qing still had her eyebrows lowered and looked as gentle as water, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. It turned out that he was the only one who was special.
Lin Qing, who came to the same conclusion, smiled happily. He was worthy of being the flesh that fell from her body, and he was only connected to her spiritually.
Shen Qiannuo took a deep breath and raised a decent smile: “Hello, sister.”
Shen Zhaozhao nodded at her: “Hello.”
After a casual greeting, the two adults and two children sat down at the dining table. Just as Shen Qiannuo walked to his former seat, Shen Boyan pulled out a chair first: "Zhao Zhao, sit here."
Shen Qiannuo’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Shen Boyan looked at the disbelief on her face and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
You've been occupying the magpie's nest for so long that you really think the position is yours.
If he hadn't discovered Shen Qiannuo's evil thoughts and little tricks behind his back, he might not have done so much, but this adopted daughter betrayed him and Lin Qing first, and he couldn't tolerate it at all.
Shen Zhaozhao knew what was going on when she saw Shen Qiannuo's reaction, but the heroine had already held a grudge against her, so it was useless this time.
"Thank you, Dad." She sat down directly in a very bad mood.
Shen Qiannuo looked at Lin Qing, the person who doted on him the most in the family, with grievance, wanting her to come and say something for him, but Lin Qing kept looking at Shen Zhaozhao with a smile, not even giving him half a glance.
Shen Qiannuo's breath was so blocked in her chest that she almost couldn't come out. She could only grit her teeth and sit next to Shen Zhaozhao.
Wang Ma brought the afternoon tea, which consisted of small cakes and coffee, while Shen Zhaozhao had stewed bird's nest.
Such discriminatory treatment made Shen Qiannuo's eyes red with anger. She stirred the coffee with a spoon and couldn't help but say, "If sister likes it, ask Wang Ma to make some and take it back. Then you can try it with your parents over there, okay?"
She had investigated and found that the adoptive parents were greedy for money and asked Shen Zhaozhao to take more things back. Shen Zhaozhao would definitely not refuse.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on Shen's parents' faces changed.
"What's good about that? They just want money. They're all waiting for me to take it back from the Shen family so that my hopeless father can gamble with it, and my mother, a modern-day Lin Daiyu, can use it to play mahjong."
Shen Boyan's face was as cold as ice, and Lin Qing also looked unhappy. She had just heard her daughter talk about how those two people treated her.
[Oh, there must be several days' worth of dishes piled up waiting for me to wash when I get back. I hope those two won't starve to death while I'm away.]
Shen Boyan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
Seeing this change, Shen Qiannuo was secretly delighted: "Sister, don't be embarrassed. My parents over there didn't have a good life. They worked hard to raise me. It's only right for me to repay their kindness."
"Since you miss them so much, why not let you go back to them and fulfill your filial duties?" Lin Qing's expression was cold, and she only held Shen Zhaozhao's hand gently as if to comfort him.
Shen Boyan glanced at his wife and thought that this suggestion was very good. He silently gave Lin Qing a thumbs up in his heart.
Shen Qiannuo didn’t expect Lin Qing to say that, shouldn’t they be angry with Shen Zhaozhao?
She quickly said, "I was raised by my parents, so of course I only want to be filial to them. How can I be filial to others?"
"Humph, I'm afraid you've known for a long time that those parents are not good people, so you want to push Zhao Zhao into the fire pit?" Shen Boyan snorted, looking at Shen Qiannuo expressionlessly.
It’s not without reason that Shen Boyan is called a tyrant. Those slender eyes stare at you without blinking, and anyone who sees them will feel that there is nothing to hide.
Shen Qiannuo was in a panic: "How is it possible? I don't know, are they not good people? It's all Nuonuo's fault. I didn't know that my sister suffered so much."
As he spoke, tears as big as beans fell like broken strings, and he looked so pitiful.
