Chapter 5 She's Different



Shen Jiaojiao was in a dilemma. She didn't know whether to accept it or not.

If she had known this would happen, she should have stopped her father from asking Shen Ruyi to apologize at the family recognition banquet yesterday.

What now?

She couldn't help but look at Shen Ci, hoping he could help, but she didn't expect Shen Ci's face to turn pale, his eyes fixed on the bracelet in Shen Ruyi's palm.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

"Sister, why don't you accept it?"

Shen Ruyi's tone was gentle, with a hint of innocent surprise in her voice.

"This is getting interesting."

The guests began to exchange glances, and their eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao with great interest. Even Ying and the Imperial Concubine, who were in high positions, were watching with great interest.

Shen Jiaojiao was sweating profusely. She had no choice but to take the longevity lock, bracelet and hairpin from Shen Ruyi and said in a trembling voice, "Since it is your intention, I will accept it."

"So the younger sister has forgiven the older sister, right?"

Shen Ruyi sneered in her heart.

"..." Shen Jiaojiao's face was bitter. She didn't dare to look Shen Luo in the eyes, for fear of being angered.

"Shen, Ru, Yi!"

Shen Luo stared at Shen Ruyi with his eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Is there anything wrong, Third Brother?"

Shen Ruyi turned her head and looked at him quietly.

The cold and calm voice was like a basin of cold water poured on Shen Luo's head. Shen Luo clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot and his pupils were trembling.

When Shen Jiaojiao saw him like this, her face turned pale and she subconsciously stepped back.

Among the five brothers of the Shen family, Shen Luo has the most erratic temper.

She was really afraid that Shen Luo would take action and affect her.

Without any obstruction, Shen Luo and Shen Ruyi faced each other, one was as irritable as thunder, the other was as calm as water.

Seeing that the situation was tense, Shen Ci hurried forward to hold Shen Luo and called out, "Third brother, calm down. There are so many people watching."

A trace of tears suddenly flashed across Shen Luo's red eyes, and he turned his head away without looking at anyone.

Shen Ruyi gave away all the things he cared about most, how could he stay calm!

Shen Ci was shocked to find that Shen Luo didn't hate Shen Ruyi as much as he appeared to be. He was probably just disappointed in her.

"As one wishes……"

Shen Ci turned his head and tried to make peace.

Shen Ruyi interrupted him, "Since my sister has forgiven me, I will go back first and not interfere with my sister's welcoming banquet."

After saying that, he bowed to everyone and turned to leave.

"This Shen Ruyi is also an interesting person."

Someone laughed.

Then I heard Ying and Concubine Guifei say, "I really like that girl."

Shen Jiaojiao clenched her fists, her face burning, and her hatred towards Shen Ruyi deepened.

She also didn't expect that Shen Ruyi, who used to chase Shen Luo everywhere and even wanted to hold Shen Luo's sleeve when he went to Guangwenguan to study, would just leave this time after making Shen Luo so angry.

"Third brother, my sister--"

She cautiously probed and looked at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo stared blankly at the footprints left on the snow outside the door, a little dazed.

Shen Ruyi actually left like this?

You gave his stuff away without even an apology or an explanation?

What does Shen Ruyi think of him!

After the surprise, there was deeper anger.

"Shen Ruyi, you are so kind. I am not done with you!"

Shen Luo clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Third brother!"

Shen Ci quickly pulled him out, "Ruyi can't help it. What sincerity can she show? Although she did something wrong, you don't have to be too angry..."

Halfway through the words, a feeling of sadness welled up in my heart.

Why would he want Shen Ruyi to give the pair of bracelets to Shen Jiaojiao?

At the beginning, in order to prepare the pair of bracelets for Shen Ruyi, he spent all his savings from working in the Imperial Hospital for three years...

Although to the Prime Minister's Office, his little bit of success was almost nothing.

It is even inferior to the prescription that Shen Ruyi gave him, which is a priceless item.

However, no matter what, Shen Ruyi couldn't just give his feelings away.

Shen Ci felt confused, but then he thought: But no matter what, the best outcome is that the family can live in harmony.

So he sighed and comforted Shen Luo: "Now Jiaojiao has returned home, and the family will be complete from now on. As for Ruyi, don't you know her? It will be over after a little fuss."

Before, Shen Ruyi cried and made a fuss, asking him to help her with this and that, but in the end he didn't care, so didn't she just let it go?

He knew that although his sister was very angry, it was only for a short while.

No matter how you look at it, broken bones are connected to the tendons and cannot be separated.

Shen Luo couldn't swallow this breath, and said with red eyes: "She, Shen Ruyi, just wants to stab me in the heart!"

"Who cares!"

He said he didn't care, but his body was shaking with anger.

He snorted, turned his head and ignored Shen Ci.

Shen Ci sighed and thought about asking Shen Jiaojiao to help get some medicine to ease Shen Luo's emotions.

After all, he will still need Shen Ruyi's prescription in the future.

Shen Jiaojiao herself also needs it. Her stomach cold disease recurs every now and then. She has not been cured after so many years of treatment. She has to rely on Shen Ruyi to ask the mysterious master if there is any folk remedy for treating stomach cold.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw Shen Jiaojiao shrinking back into the house as if she had been electrocuted.

Shen Ci choked and had to pull Shen Luo away by himself.

Only when Shen Jiaojiao saw Shen Luo being taken away did she wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

She didn't want to face Shen Luo like that. If he got angry and beat her up, it would be a waste of time.

After all, Shen Luo is a reckless person.

"Third brother, there are so many people watching today, why are you so angry? How do you want others to see our family?"

When they were alone, Shen Ci couldn't help but blame Shen Luo, "You shouldn't have dragged your classmates from Guangwenguan to make trouble and embarrass Ruyi."

Shen Luo was so angry that his chest was still heaving violently, "Don't you see what kind of face she has! In front of everyone today, she didn't take me, her third brother, seriously at all! From now on, I don't have a sister like her!"

"What are you talking about!" Shen Ci felt a headache, "Why doesn't she take you, her third brother, seriously?"

"She gave the hairpin that I carved for her with my own hands to someone else. Do you think she cares about it?" Shen Luo was shaking with anger.

Shen Ci sighed and soothed her: "Jiaojiao is also our biological sister. Don't you like Jiaojiao the most? Now that the hairpin has been given to Jiaojiao, you are unhappy?"

"That's different!"

Shen Luo blurted out in a loud voice.

When I said it, I was a little stunned.

"What's the difference?" Shen Ci asked, "They are twins, they crawled out of their mother's belly at the same time, and they are both your and my biological sisters..."

"But that's different!"

Shen Luo couldn't explain it, and stood up angrily, "I can't argue with you, so I won't say anything! And you, don't always act like you care about the face of this family the most! What is face? Can you eat it!"

"I don't want to talk to you!"

He left a few steps after saying this, then walked around in circles in anger.
