Chapter 447 Shen Huaian’s Birthday Banquet
The Xiao family is a true family in the capital world. Any resources flowing out of their hands would be enough for the Shen family to make a comeback.
So even though Mr. Xiao didn't like the Shen family, Shen Huaian still approached them shamelessly, "My dear relatives, I'm really happy that you can come to my birthday party. After all, our two families haven't sat down and had a good meal for so many years."
Old Xiao glanced at the empty table and sneered, "It seems I came at the wrong time."
Shen Huaian looked embarrassed and changed the subject: "The in-laws came at the right time! I heard that my granddaughter went to your house. I wonder if she caused trouble for the Xiao family?"
Mr. Xiao sneered in his heart: Trouble? It's a big trouble!
This fake person deceived his feelings and almost made him give away his entire fortune.
"What do you think?"
Mr. Xiao looked indifferent and threw the question back.
Shen Huaian looked at Shen Qianxue, “Xiaoxue, have you ever gotten into trouble in the Xiao family?”
Shen Qianxue shook her head obediently, looking dignified and elegant like a lady from a noble family.
Shen Huaian smiled and said, "My dear relatives, my granddaughter has been spoiled since she was a child. If she does anything wrong in the Xiao family, please bear with her."
When Mr. Xiao heard the words "fine clothes and delicious food", he became nervous.
According to investigations, his granddaughter lived a life worse than pigs and dogs in the countryside for seventeen years.
However, the fake Shen Qianxue took Xiao Wan's identity with peace of mind and lived a life of luxury.
Old Xiao's face darkened: "Really? She is living a comfortable life in your Shen family?"
Shen Huaian said proudly, "Of course! Xiaoxue is the apple of our Shen family's eye, a rich lady! She has had four brothers who have spoiled her since she was born, and she has never suffered any grievances in our family. Although our Shen family is now in decline, as long as she is willing to come back, she is still a child of the Shen family."
Old Mr. Xiao swept his cold eyes over his four grandsons.
"Is what he said true? You gave all your love to your biological sister Qianxue?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "sister".
He wanted to see if these four grandsons would unite to deceive him.
He lied to him that Shen Qianxue was Yin Qiu's daughter and their biological sister.
If they dare to admit it, then they can forget about recognizing him as their grandpa in the future!
Shen Luoyu spoke first: "Yes, grandpa, Qianxue has never been wronged at home. If we, as brothers, don't treat her well, who should we treat well?"
Old Xiao was so angry that he almost jumped up and hit him. He asked word by word while grinding his back teeth: "Oh? Then you guys are doing a really good job as brothers."
Shen Luoyu didn't hear his sarcastic tone and was still laughing foolishly.
“This is what we should do.”
Shen Changfeng noticed something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "Is Mr. Xiao worried that Qianxue will be wronged in the Shen family?"
Old Xiao leaned back strategically and said slowly, "Your mother Yinqiu is my youngest daughter. Before she got married, she was the apple of the Xiao family's eye. It was my fault for spoiling her too much, causing her to fall in love and lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong, thus ruining her own life."
Shen Huaian: “…”
Who are you scolding here?
"She came to the Xiao family in her dream and entrusted her little daughter to me, asking me to take good care of her."
"If this child is really living well in the Shen family, why would your mother be worried? Why does she insist that I take her back to the Xiao family?"
"Are you Shen family members working together to deceive an old man like me?"
Old Xiao stared at the Shen family with a sharp gaze.
Shen Qianxue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her brothers in panic.
Shen Huaian smiled and said, "Of course Xiaoxue has not been wronged. You can tell from her expression that our Shen family has never bullied her. Yinqiu may think that our Shen family is not as good as before. Boys and girls are different. Girls need to be raised in wealth. That's why she wants the Xiao family to take her back to live a good life."
Old Xiao's majestic eyes fell on Shen Changfeng, "You are the eldest brother, you speak."
Shen Changfeng was about to speak.
Shen Qianxue interrupted immediately: “Grandpa, I really haven’t been wronged. My brothers are very good to me, really! They said two days ago that even if I stayed in the Xiao family to accompany you, I would still be their good sister.”
"I want him to say it himself." Old Xiao stared at Shen Changfeng without blinking.
Shen Changfeng looked at Shen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue’s eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were full of pleading, begging him not to tell the truth.
Shen Changfeng thought of what he promised her in the hospital, took a deep breath, and chose to keep it secret.
"Mr. Xiao, you may have misunderstood. Qianxue has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. We are the closest family. My mother is just worried that she is not living well."
The veins on the back of Mr. Xiao's hand bulged as he pinched the armrest. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good, very good."
Shen Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, showing a sweet smile, and hooked Shen Changfeng’s arm and smiled: “Grandpa, are you relieved now?”
"I've already said that I'm my brother's biological sister, they treat me very well~"
She is acting coquettishly and sweetly.
A cold wind suddenly blew in.
Everyone turned around and saw Shen Wan standing at the door of the banquet hall dressed in black as if he was attending a funeral.
Shen Qianxue almost lost her voice: “Why are you here?”
Shen Changfeng's face turned pale instantly.
What he just said...could it be that Xiaowu heard everything?
Chen Wan said with a fake smile: "I'm sorry to disturb your family reunion, someone sent me an invitation, I came to take a look."
She threw the invitation away.
When Shen Huaian saw her, he smiled from ear to ear, “Xiao Wan, you’re here, come in!”
Xiao Lao Leng's cold brows suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Chen Wan with a smile on his face.
When the Shen brothers saw Shen Wan, a chill ran down their spines. They all lowered their heads like quails and remained silent.
Shen Wan walked over and fell on Shen Changfeng with a cold gaze full of mockery.
Shen Changfeng couldn't raise his head because of her gaze, and he was too guilty to look her in the face.
Mr. Xiao knew what was going on at a glance.
He deliberately asked, "Who is this?"
Shen Huaian coughed lightly: "Her name is Xiao Wan. She came to our Shen family more than a year ago."
He spoke vaguely, hoping that Mr. Xiao would think that he was just an insignificant outsider.
Old Xiao sneered in his heart: Great, all of you Shen family members have teamed up to deceive me.
Shen Qianxue glanced at Mr. Xiao in confusion.
Didn’t Grandpa Xiao already know about Shen Wan at the auction?
Why are you pretending not to know me now?
She didn't think much about it, just thinking that the old man was old and confused.
Mr. Xiao's next sentence shocked everyone present.
"Xiao Wan is a pretty, kind-looking girl. She looks a bit like my daughter."
Shen Qianxue’s heart suddenly beat like a drum.
Shen Luoyu said quickly: "It is because Wanwan looks like my mother that she got along well with our Shen family and entered our Shen family!"
Shen Wan looked straight over, "You mean Shen Qianxue is Xiao Yinqiu's biological daughter? I'm just someone who gets along well with Xiao Yinqiu?"
