Chapter 15 The Shen Family's Only Treasure
Xie Tong became more and more excited as he spoke. Shen Chutang thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and called Uncle Shang to drive the car.
Shen Chutang doesn't like shopping, but Xie Tong does, and is keen on buying clothes for her. It's not Xie Tong's fault, every time Xie Tong helps her try on clothes, it's like dressing up a doll, which is addictive.
When they arrived at the mall, Xie Tong took her straight to the store she had chosen long ago, "Hurry up, they have new styles. The first time I saw them, I felt that the clothes were tailor-made for you!"
"Then there's no need to run, we're already at the mall." Shen Chutang patted his chest and gasped, he really had no way to deal with Xie Tong's noisy temper.
Xie Tong scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Yes."
Uncle Shang took them up the VIP elevator and waited for them outside the store.
"Ms. Shen, Ms. Xie." The manager came over to greet them. These two were not only regular customers, but also distinguished customers. Knowing their habits, he added, "This is the new product of the season. Please take a look first and call me if you need anything."
Shen Chutang stood there obediently, and Xie Tong gestured with the clothes on her body, "This one looks good, and this one is also okay, why don't you try them all?"
"No way!" Shen Chutang quickly retorted, "You're going to tire me to death!"
Xie Tong smiled awkwardly, "Just kidding, just kidding, I still can't afford it even after you've tried it, go ahead and pick some."
"This one." Shen Chutang pointed at a blue dress. Of all the colors, she liked blue the most. It was like the sea, like the sky, very broad and free.
"I knew it." Xie Tong said as he put the clothes in her hands, "Then Miss Shen, please go and try it."
Xie Tong knew that she didn't need to do this when buying clothes normally. Either they had to be tailor-made or someone would try them on for her. Shen Chutang only accompanied her out shopping because she liked it, and she felt warm in her heart.
Uncle Shang was waiting outside. He saw a familiar figure walking towards them from a distance. He became alert and stopped the two men when they were about to enter the store. "Ms. Lin."
Lin Chushuang was a little surprised that Uncle Shang was here, and then asked with a smile, "Uncle Shang? Is Chengyu in there?"
Uncle Shang frowned, looking serious, "No, it's Miss Shen who's in there."
Fortunately, Shen Chutang was changing clothes and didn't hear it. He had been in the Shi family for so many years and had never seen such a shameless person.
Miss Shen, Lin Chushuang thought of the little girl she met at Shi's house last time, and a feeling of disgust rose in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, "Really? We had a very happy chat last time, I——"
"Ms. Lin, I mean Miss Shen is inside. Please change to another store, or in other words, change to another mall." Uncle Shang had seen through her little thoughts, his face was cold, and his voice was cold. He was somewhat suspicious whether the person who passed the message had delivered it, otherwise why would this person come up like this.
"What do you mean? We can't go in if she's inside? Is this mall owned by her family?" The people next to Lin Chushuang shouted as soon as they heard Uncle Shang's words.
Really.
Lin Chushuang held her arm, her cheeks burning, and nodded slightly to Uncle Shang, saying softly, "Is this what Miss Shen meant?"
"If I said anything that day that made her unhappy, please tell her that I didn't mean it."
"Ms. Lin, that's what Mr. Shi meant." Uncle Shang's tone became even colder, "But I just want to remind you, don't use those dirty thoughts on our young lady."
Lin Chushuang's face turned red and blue, "Uncle Shang, you misunderstood, I——"
"Ms. Lin, what you want to do has nothing to do with me. I am just following Mr. Shi's instructions. Please leave, Ms. Lin." Uncle Shang smiled faintly, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I don't want to make things too ugly, so I won't hire security."
Having said that, two bodyguards were already waiting not far away.
Lin Chushuang's newly-made manicure on her nails almost broke, and she asked again, "Do I have to avoid her every time I see her in the future?"
"It would be best if Mr. Lian Shi also said so. Mr. Shi meant that Miss Lin grew up abroad and might be more accustomed to living abroad." Uncle Shang looked at his watch. "Miss Lin, I don't need to ask you for the third time, right?"
"You——" The girl next to Lin Chushuang wanted to say something, but Lin Chushuang pulled her arm and left, "Forget it."
"Uncle Shang, can you help me see if this one looks good?" Shen Chutang came out after changing his clothes and shouted from inside.
"Hey, Miss, you look good in anything you wear. I'm sure the gentleman will compliment you..." Uncle Shang replied hurriedly before he even entered the room.
Lin Chushuang walked a little further away and couldn't help but look back, tears in her eyes. Shen Chutang was surrounded in the middle, spinning around in a light blue dress like a princess in a crystal showcase. Uncle Shang was taking pictures of her with his cell phone.
Lin Chushuang had never felt the gap between people so clearly. She thought her family background was superior to most people, but now, she didn't even have the qualifications to get in.
If she hadn't gone abroad at that time, would things have been different...
"Shuangshuang, are you okay?" Li Meng asked her with a little concern.
"It's okay." Lin Chushuang said softly, and she was no longer in the mood to go shopping.
I just got into the car after leaving the mall when I received the call.
"dad."
"You went to provoke Miss Shen again?!"
Before she could finish her words, the angry words were already spoken.
"Isn't what I told you last time clear enough? We can't afford to offend the Shen family, let alone the Shi family. How many times do you want me to tell you?" Lin Yuanhong was helpless and angry, and advised: "You just returned to the country, and people have already reminded you once. It's enough to make trouble once. Go out less in the next few days. If you really make people angry, several Lins will not be enough for you to make trouble!"
The suppressed emotions suddenly burst out, "Why? I didn't do anything wrong! Don't I even have the right to leave?"
"I didn't say you can't go out, just don't go around Miss Shen anymore." Lin Yuanhong was a little helpless. This daughter was good in every way except that she was too stubborn. "Don't go looking for Mr. Shi anymore. How old were you when you first met? Why do you think that he would remember the affection you showed him for a few days?"
What's more, there was no affection between us in the first place.
Everyone who followed Shi Chengyu in the compound was beaten up by him. If Lin Chushuang was a man, he would have been beaten up the first time he got close to Shi Chengyu.
Lin Chushuang was unwilling to give in, so she hung up the phone angrily and threw the phone aside.

Shen Chutang of course didn't know about all this, and was dragged by Xie Tong to several stores, saying that they were trying out new products, but she had seen some of them at home last month and didn't like them. In the end, Xie Tong bought the skirt she tried on for the first time, and two pink crystal pendants, one for each of them.
She bought a gift for Shen Chutang, but chose the color that Xie Tong liked. She said that it was to make Shen Chutang remember that it was from her. Shen Chutang smiled and did not expose her.
Shen Chutang's birthday was on August 15th. Shen's parents rushed back from S City a day in advance. Shen Yanheng also happened to come back. The Shen family villa became lively after a long time.
Early in the morning, Shen Chutang was pulled out of bed by Chen Musheng, "Good boy, don't sleep in on your birthday."
"Mom, this is not laziness." Shen Chutang rubbed his eyes and looked at her aggrievedly, "It's only eight o'clock now."
"It's already eight o'clock, baby!" Chen Musheng pulled her up and went to the cloakroom. "Today is your birthday, so mommy has to dress you up nicely."
Chen Musheng picked out two skirts and said, "Which one should I wear, baby? Okay, go wash up."
Shen Chutang pouted, reluctantly left the bed, and went to wash up slowly.
As soon as I finished breakfast, Chen Musheng pushed me to the dressing table and said, "Baby, let me give you a hairstyle. Your curly hair looked so good last time."
Shen Chutang looked at Chen Musheng in the mirror, who was looking expectant, and smiled, "It's all right, Mom."
Chen Musheng had her hair tied up behind her head and was wearing a green cheongsam. There was no sign of aging on her face. No one would have guessed that she was already a mother of four children.
