"Ah Si, what exactly is going on?" Father Sheng frowned, staring at Sheng Si with displeasure.
For wealthy families like theirs, marriage is not a game and should never be taken lightly.
Although the girl was wearing the Peking University uniform, her family background must be quite good. However, the Sheng family is not a family that girls from ordinary backgrounds can marry into.
"Uncle doesn't know either? Could this be a misunderstanding?" As she spoke, Chu Yan looked at Qin Wan, as if hinting at something.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Yue's fiery temper exploded.
"Chu Yan, do you have any shame?"
"Qin Wan is the blind date that my brother personally acknowledged. How could he be mistaken?"
"And what kind of look is that? Are you trying to imply that Qin Wan is a gold digger who deliberately got close to my brother just to covet our Sheng family's wealth?"
Years of rivalry with Chu Yan have made Sheng Yue able to understand Chu Yan's meaning with just a glance.
After being bombarded with questions and accusations by Sheng Yue, Chu Yan's eyes reddened in less than a second, and she explained in a flustered and helpless manner.
She kept waving her hands, looking so anxious she seemed about to cry.
"I...that's not what I meant..."
"Yueyue, you've misunderstood..."
Upon seeing Chu Yan being bullied and crying by Sheng Yue, Sheng's father immediately pulled Chu Yan behind him to protect her, staring at Sheng Yue with a stern and displeased expression.
"Sheng Yue, you're becoming more and more willful and reckless!"
"Yan Yan was just concerned about your brother. What kind of attitude and tone is that?"
Faced with her father's mindless favoritism towards Chu Yan, Sheng Yue was so angry she laughed.
"Dad, in my opinion, Chu Yan is your real daughter, right? My brother and I are just adopted, aren't we?"
Upon hearing Sheng Yue's words, Sheng's father's expression visibly changed, and a fleeting glint flashed in his eyes.
Because she was angry and disappointed in her father, Sheng Yue did not notice this.
Qin Wan, however, noticed it with her sharp eyes.
She subconsciously looked at Sheng Si beside her, and what came into view was the man's slightly curved thin lips and the fleeting sarcasm in his deep eyes.
What...has Sheng Si found out?
"Sheng Yue! Don't go too far!" In a fit of rage, Sheng's father picked up a teacup from the desk and smashed it hard at Sheng Yue.
In that instant, Sheng Yue was stunned and subconsciously forgot to dodge.
Fortunately, Sheng Si reacted quickly and pulled her behind him, pushing her next to Qin Wan. Then, he narrowed his eyes and stared at his father with a dangerous look.
"Dad, don't go too far!"
Faced with Sheng Si's warning, Sheng's father's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, but only for a moment, before he pretended to be calm and returned to normal.
“Ah Si, you saw it too. It’s not that I’m deliberately making things difficult for her. It’s just that Sheng Yue is too spoiled and willful.”
"Yes, I know you all don't like Yan Yan. But Yan Yan's parents were kind to me. Now that they are both gone, Yan Yan is all alone. I just want to take good care of her on behalf of my old friend and benefactor."
As he spoke, Mr. Sheng seemed to remember something, his eyes reddening slightly, and his gaze towards Sheng Si and Sheng Yue became very complicated and strange...
"I don't expect you two to treat Yan Yan like your own sister, just like I do."
"I just hope you can treat Yan Yan well and stop bullying her. She's just a lonely little girl."
Mr. Sheng spoke in a grand and righteous tone, and his gaze toward Chu Yan was genuinely loving.
But seeing this scene before her, Sheng Yue felt angry and furious.
Sheng Si scoffed.
"laugh……"
"You can treat her like your own daughter, but she's just your daughter. She has nothing to do with me and Sheng Yue, understand?"
"As for whether her parents have done you any favors, that's none of my business."
"Whether you want to repay a debt of gratitude, or whether you have lingering feelings for Chu Yan's parents... neither Sheng Yue nor I care. It has nothing to do with us."
As he spoke, Sheng Si turned to look at Sheng Yue beside him, "And you, what's there to be angry about?"
"What does it matter to you whether he treats Chu Yan well or poorly?"
"What is there about Chu Yan that you should fight for or care about?"
"Don't you think it lowers your status and class by arguing and bickering with her?"
Sheng Yue: "!!!"
Ahhh!
My brother is so powerful and awesome!!!
Qin Wan: "..." One word: Absolutely brilliant!
Upon hearing Sheng Si's words, the expressions on Sheng's father and Chu Yan's faces turned extremely grim.
Especially Sheng's father, whose face turned red with anger, pointed a trembling finger at Sheng Si, "You unfilial son!"
"Unfilial son!!!"
Sheng Si sneered, ignoring his father's anger.
Chu Yan's eyes were red, and glistening tears had rolled down her cheeks without her noticing, making her look incredibly pitiful...
"Brother, do you hate Yan Yan that much?"
Sheng Si's indifferent dark eyes swept across her face, ignoring her completely. Instead, he turned to look at Sheng Yue beside him and said, "Let's go."
After speaking, Sheng Si looked at Qin Wan, his handsome face clearly displaying the words "invitation to accompany."
Qin Wan put her hands in her pockets and followed Sheng Si's departing figure.
Seeing this, Sheng Yue first glared at Chu Yan triumphantly, and then quickly followed.
As soon as she left the study, Sheng Yue rushed to Sheng Si with excitement, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
"Brother, you're amazing!"
"How come I never knew you were so good at roasting people, brother!"
"That was absolutely amazing!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen Dad and Chu Yan look so embarrassed and their faces are so grim!"
"Brother, you must have noticed just now, right? Chu Yan's face was so black it was almost dripping ink, it cracked me up..."
At this moment, Sheng Yue felt completely relaxed and comfortable.
The suppressed and painful emotions she had felt over the past few years due to her father's favoritism and Chu Yan's hypocrisy were instantly released, and even the smile on her face became much brighter at this moment.
Seeing Sheng Yue like this, Qin Wan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her...
The fault of all this clearly lies with Sheng's father.
Sheng Yue, however, bore the brunt of the bitter consequences.
Being born as Sheng's father's daughter doesn't seem to be a good thing for Sheng Yue.
Seeing Sheng Si's excited and happy appearance, Sheng Si reached out and gently rubbed her head, comforting her, "Don't be enemies with Chu Yan anymore from now on."
"Why?" Sheng Yue asked, puzzled.
"Is it worth it for someone who doesn't care about you?" Sheng Si looked at Sheng Yue with deep eyes and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue was slightly taken aback, a look of bewilderment appearing in her eyes.
yes……
Is it worth it?
Her father clearly didn't care about her...
No matter what she does, no matter how outstanding she becomes, her father will always only have eyes for Chu Yan.
Unless she opposes Chu Yan, unless she bullies Chu Yan or embarrasses Chu Yan, it seems her father will only then notice the existence of his biological daughter...
Thinking of this, a deep sense of bewilderment suddenly appeared in Sheng Yue's eyes.
She looked up, staring blankly at Sheng Si, and murmured softly, "Brother, do you know why?"
"I'm clearly her biological daughter, aren't I?"
"Aren't we clearly his blood relatives?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Si pursed his thin lips and his eyes darkened slightly.
