Chapter 6 Trapped
When Shen Sangsang saw the box, she was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected this thing to end up in his hands. A voice in her heart screamed, but after a moment, she suppressed the scream in her heart and slowly clenched her hanging hand into a fist. "My sleep quality has indeed been a bit poor in recent years. I went to the hospital for this problem, but the doctor said my insomnia was not serious, so I didn't alarm anyone."
"Yeah?"
He asked these two words again, as if questioning her previous answer.
Shen Sangsang insisted, “Yes.”
"I sent someone to the hospital to check, and they told us that you were taking a very high dose of medication."
There was a moment of silence in the study.
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Yuehuai lowered his eyes at this moment, picked up the water glass on the table, and drank a sip of water with a faint expression: "Your body is your own, and only you can cherish yourself."
“Thank you Uncle Shen for your concern.”
"I still have things to take care of, please go out."
…
After Shen Sangsang came out of the study, she heard the servants' discussions again.
"It seems that the day after tomorrow... there will be a banquet hosted by the Shen family. Do you think the Shen family will still hold it?"
"Guests and banquets? What guests and banquets?"
"On the wedding day, the Shen family only invited a few relatives to a banquet and held a simple ceremony. It was almost a hasty formality. However, the Shen family has not yet invited any outsiders to a banquet. Logically speaking, the wedding is the day after tomorrow."
"This... do you think the Shen family will acknowledge her to the outside world?"
"Who knows? After all, this is not a glorious thing."
When the servant's voice faded away, Shen Sangsang pretended not to hear it and walked away naturally.
She has heard too much similar gossip during this period.
The Shen family's banquet for guests was announced to the public the next day.
Su Nanxue was also on the invitation list.
On the morning before the banquet, when Shen Sangsang saw the invitation list, she looked a little surprised, but after a few seconds, she was no longer surprised.
What is Su Nanxue's identity?
Their family is a family friend of the Shen family. If the Shen family ranks first in the circle of power and influence in South City, the Su family must be second.
Over the years, Shen Sangsang has some understanding of the Shen family's network of contacts.
Originally, Su Nanxue was the daughter-in-law designated by the Shen family. Old Madam Shen was quite satisfied with Su Nanxue, the future daughter-in-law. She wanted to wait for the two families to get married so that she could spend her old age with her grandchildren.
But who knew that things would turn out like this.
"What are you standing there for?"
Just as Shen Sangsang was standing at the windowsill, staring blankly at the banquet guest list, Shen Yuehuai's voice interrupted her.
She was a little frightened, put down what she was holding, turned around immediately, and saw Shen Yuehuai in formal attire.
Today he was wearing a black suit and a bow tie. He exuded an English elegance, neat and steady, and his handsome features were eye-catching.
Shen Sangsang stared at him blankly for a while, and for a moment she was unable to come back to her senses.
Shen Yuehuai, who was standing at the door, saw her staring at him in a daze and frowned slightly: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Sangsang woke up as if from a dream, reacted, and hurriedly whispered: "Shen, Uncle Shen, I just saw that Sister Nanxue is on the banquet list."
I don’t know if it was because of the mention of Su Nanxue, or what, but Shen Sangsang clearly felt that Shen Yuehuai’s face had turned a little colder. Sure enough, the next second, his voice sounded icy cold: “This is not your business, don’t delay any longer.”
After he said this, he turned away from her and went out the door.
Shen Sangsang was still standing there, his eyes following Shen Yuehuai's figure.
There was a hint of loss in her eyes.
Soon, the makeup artist came in and adjusted her outfit again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she finally made the final decision on her makeup and dress.
