"Great! Great!" Wen Yan was the first to chime in. "Then we must try Dad's cooking. Long live Dad!"
Shen Zhirou: "..."
Shen Jinghe: "…………"
Shen Jingxiu: "………………"
Shen Yuan: "……………………"
A deathly silence.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Wen Yan herself isn't embarrassed, then it's others who will be embarrassed.
Moreover, she would proactively call on people.
Isn't Shen Zhirou two-faced? Let's take her out for a walk first.
"Zhirou, you don't have any other plans today, do you? It's rare for the whole family to get together."
"Okay, I agree. I don't have any other plans for today." Shen Zhirou still looked gentle and mild, and her smile had no harm at all.
Next up is Shen Jingxiu.
"I don't think you have anything else to do, right? It's rare for you to be home on the weekend, so having a barbecue once in a while is a good option."
Wen Yan had barely finished speaking, and Shen Jingxiu hadn't even replied, when Shen Jinghe snorted coldly from the side.
He then added sarcastically, "A young master like you eating barbecue? Don't you think too highly of yourself?"
Wen Yan: "…………"
So, is hating Shen Jingxiu along with him also a consequence of Shen Jinghe's kidnapping?
The kidnapping was planned by the kidnappers, but the decision was made by the father. Is Shen Jinghe hating the wrong person? Shen Jingxiu was also a victim.
The two brothers, who were simultaneously mentioned by Wen Yan's inner thoughts: "…………"
Shen Jinghe wanted to roll his eyes at Wen Yan, but he held back. This Wen Yan, was she really that close to Shen Jingxiu? She even sided with him.
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Jingxiu has been known for having no friends!
Shen Jingxiu was also taken aback. He was surprised that Wen Yan knew about the kidnapping incident when they were children.
This also stirred up his memories. Yes, he was a victim back then too.
However, after he returned, he behaved as usual and never caused any trouble or fear. His family seemed to have forgotten that he had been locked in a black box for several days and nights.
Because he was the one chosen by his father, he couldn't cry when his younger brother was crying and making a fuss, and he couldn't tell his parents that he also had nightmares at night when they were showing concern for his younger brother.
He had to appear strong, as if he had never been a victim.
But Wen Yan is right, he is also a victim.
So it was just a barbecue, and she even brought over some cakes last night. Even if I really don't like those kinds of foods, what's the point of agreeing to her offer?
Shen Jingxiu nodded.
"Yes, I have no other plans today."
Upon hearing this answer, Shen Jinghe quickly glanced at Shen Jingxiu and then snorted coldly.
Wen Yan quickly asked him with a smile, "Everyone's participating, so you're not the only one not coming, Second Brother?"
Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan and coldly curled the corners of his mouth: "I can't do anything."
"It's okay, I can do it. Second brother, all you need to do is bring your mouth."
"You said it yourself."
"Of course, everyone can testify."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs to catch up on my sleep after I finish eating. Wake me up when it's time. Mom, enjoy your meal."
Shen Jinghe's last sentence was clearly meant for Su Yang.
Su Yang was also very pleased.
Although the second son remained as indifferent to his father and eldest son as ever, at least the family was together, which was a rare opportunity.
She nodded to Shen Jinghe: "You often work day and night, so take a good rest now that you have a break. I'll call you when you're almost done."
While Su Yang was saying this, Wen Yan was observing Shen Zhirou.
But Shen Zhirou just focused on eating, seemingly uninterested in Shen Jinghe's departure or stay.
Was what I saw earlier just my imagination?
However, it doesn't matter that Shen Jinghe is useless; we can just replace him with someone else.
"Oh right, Mom, the production crew hasn't given us any updates yet, and I don't have anything else to do, so I'll just go home and stay here!"
“Great!” Su Yang said happily. “It’s good to come home. It’s more lively with one more person. The house was much quieter when you were away. I wasn’t used to it at first.”
"Hehe, that's because my mom missed me. Actually, I missed my mom too during those days."
Although it's cheesy to say this publicly, Wen Yan isn't afraid of it.
Actors are like that; they can remain calm and collected while filming boat scenes in front of dozens of people. What's wrong with saying a few cheesy words?
However, Shen Zhirou's lips seemed to twitch.
However, Wen Yan glanced around and noticed that it seemed that not only Shen Zhirou was present, but Shen Jingxiu's brows also seemed to furrow slightly.
She didn't care. Shen Zhirou had told her to get out of the house, but she refused.
She wanted to stay right under her nose, to build good relationships with everyone in the family, and see how long her weasel tail could hide.
Su Yang was clearly charmed by Wen Yan's charm, and the smile on her face never faded.
Soon, the family had almost finished their breakfast.
Su Yang called Zhang Sao over and instructed her to prepare the tools and ingredients needed for the barbecue.
Mrs. Zhang said that she has a grill and smokeless charcoal at home, but some ingredients need to be purchased separately.
At this point, Wen Yan immediately suggested, "Mom, why don't we go buy the groceries ourselves? I can't believe it's been so long since I've gone grocery shopping with you. Zhi Rou can come too."
“Alright, it really has been a long time since we’ve been to the supermarket. In that case,” Su Yang looked at Shen Jingxiu, “Jingxiu, you can be our driver this time.”
Although Shen Jingxiu is aloof, he generally won't refuse his parents' reasonable requests.
"Okay, I'll go prepare now."
Ten minutes later, Shen Jingxiu drove his car to the villa entrance.
Shen Zhirou quietly opened the back door of the car before Wen Yan could react.
"Mom, you get in the car first."
Wen Yan didn't argue with her and automatically sat in the passenger seat.
After getting in the car, Shen Zhirou took the initiative to chat with Su Yang about company matters.
Wen Yan had never worked at the Shen Group's company, so she couldn't join the conversation.
Therefore, her little schemes began to stir again.
[Who said men who are serious about work and driving are the most handsome? They're so right! Shen Jingxiu looks so serious while driving. That jawline, that Adam's apple, those long, slender fingers—he looks so abstinent! He must be very abstinent, right? Shen Jingxiu has rumored girlfriends with those sarcastic guys, but he doesn't seem to have any scandals.]
Shen Jingxiu tightened his grip on the steering wheel: Could it be that she was so interested, unable to resist?
He frowned and suddenly sped up.
However, he soon stopped hearing Wen Yan's thoughts.
Wen Yan suddenly remembered something: "I seem to have forgotten to ask Second Brother what he likes to eat. Mom, do you know Second Brother's preferences?"
