“Shuya.” Ouyang Yu gave a wry smile.
He never imagined that he and Shen Shuya would end up in this situation.
He never imagined that Shen Shuya would be so heartless towards him.
"You'd better watch yourself." Mother Shen said coldly, her face grim, worried that Shen Wangshu would soften again when she saw Ouyang Yu's disheveled state.
"Auntie." Ouyang Yu hasn't had a good time these past few days, being confined at home. Because of him, the engagement between him and Miss Shen was inexplicably dissolved, and he was even blacklisted by that Mr. Xue, which also affected the company.
He had recently been given a briefing by his family on who Master Xue was, and he was already terrified, realizing the trouble he had brought to the Ouyang family. What exhausted him even more was that his grandfather valued his cousin, who had been working diligently lately, more, and was increasingly dissatisfied with his own incompetence.
Because of this, his mother, the second wife of the Ouyang family, has cried in his arms countless times.
The patriarch of the Ouyang family had two sons in his lifetime. The eldest son was his cousin, Ouyang Tang. He himself was born into the second branch of the family, so he was not as assertive about the inheritance rights as his uncle and cousin's family.
However, his mother, the second wife, had a valid concern.
When the old man was alive, Ouyang Jewelry did not divide the family property and there was no so-called heir. But the old man is old. If he were to suddenly pass away one day, all the family property would belong to his uncle and cousin. At that time, how could his father and himself have the face to stay in the old Ouyang family house?
Perhaps back then, out of a bit of brotherly affection, their uncle wouldn't have gone so far as to eliminate them completely and would have given them corresponding shares. But at that time, they were merely guests, not hosts. He was also the old man's grandson, so why couldn't he take charge of the Ouyang family?
Does this mean we'll have to hastily move out of the Ouyang family's house in the future?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Yu couldn't help but tear up.
He was a sentimental and sensitive person to begin with, and now that he was thinking too much, a look of sorrow appeared on his face.
but……
This is Old Master Ouyang's birthday banquet. On such a joyous occasion, he has to show a mournful expression. Even if he is as beautiful as an angel... it is still unforgivable!
Shen Wangshu watched with a mocking expression as Ouyang Yu lowered his head and wiped his eyes. Then, noticing the strange looks directed at the young man from all around, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
“From now on, please address me as Miss Shen. However,” Shen Wangshu said coldly, “I would prefer that you pretend you don’t know me.”
Her ruthlessness brought a bitter smile to Ouyang Yu's lips.
The second wife also told him to coax the eldest daughter of the Shen family back and make his grandfather happy, but looking at her like this, how could she possibly turn back?
If he had known how important Shen's Jewelry was to his grandfather, would he still have brought Gao Wanning along and let her see it?
"Don't talk to him." Madam Shen hated Ouyang Yu to death. She gave Ouyang Yu a warning look, telling him to stay away from her daughter. Just as she was about to pull Shen Wangshu away, she saw a stunningly beautiful woman with a short haircut and a stubborn look coming over from the other side.
The stunningly beautiful woman was middle-aged, but she didn't show much signs of aging. Instead, she exuded a charm that came with the passage of time. The girl also had a very beautiful and flamboyant face, but even on such a formal occasion, she was wearing a leopard-print outfit, shorts that almost reached her thighs, and a vest that only covered her chest.
Shen Wangshu raised an eyebrow at this unconventional girl.
This outfit exudes a wild beauty; if it were to take a stroll down the street, it would undoubtedly be a stunning and beautiful sight.
But this is a banquet... isn't it a bit inappropriate to wear something like this?
Being unconventional at a banquet isn't having a personality, it's being sick!
The girl's eyes held anger and contempt, but Shen Wangshu found it all inexplicable.
"Mom, Huanhuan." She was wondering if one of Ouyang Yu's mistresses was expressing dissatisfaction with her when she heard Ouyang Yu call out, and she suddenly realized.
This is Ouyang Yu's biological mother, the Second Madam, and his younger sister, Ouyang Huan.
Before Shen's Jewelry fell from grace, the second wife doted on Shen Shuya, treating her like her own daughter. However, after Shen's Jewelry's downfall, she not only reneged on her promise but also, in order to ensure her beloved son married a woman he truly loved, coldly and personally proposed annuling the engagement to Shen Wangshu. When Wangshu refused, the second wife listed countless flaws and shortcomings of Shen Shuya, repeatedly stating that she was unworthy of her son.
Then there's Ouyang Huan, who disliked the rule-abiding Shen Shuya from the very beginning and was closer to the lively Gao Wanning.
In her eyes, Gao Wanning's unrestrained way of living is what life is all about, while Shen Shuya's way of living is just about living a mediocre life.
So when Gao Wanning and Ouyang Yu plotted against Shen's Jewelry, causing the Shen family to go bankrupt, Ouyang Huan was overjoyed. She even went out of her way to show off in front of Shen Shuya, vividly describing how Ouyang Yu cherished Gao Wanning.
Shen Shuya's desire to die was largely due to these repeated pressures.
This family of beasts...
Shen Wangshu looked at the hypocritical mother and daughter in front of him with a cold expression, her face devoid of any smile.
"Shu'er has lost weight, it's heartbreaking to see. Come back to your auntie's place later, and your auntie will give you a good nourishing meal." The second madam reached out to take Chen Wangshu's hand, her eyes glistening with tears that seemed about to fall, exuding a charming and graceful air.
She saw Shen Wangshu coldly take a step back, all traces of her former closeness gone, and her heart skipped a beat. She had always been able to control the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but this time it hadn't worked. She couldn't help but sigh and say, "Shu girl, you still resent me."
