Chapter 449 You don’t want her, but I do!
When Old Xiao heard this, he became even angrier, pointing at Shen Huaian's nose and yelling, "When has your Shen family ever been nice to Xiao Wan? How can you educate her? You don't acknowledge her existence, and publicly announce that she is just an adopted daughter. How dare you say politeness with such a face?"
Shen Huaian was scolded so much that his face turned pale, and he was timid and didn't dare to talk back.
Old Xiao was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke: "Look at the children and grandchildren you have educated. Which one of them is a good person? My daughter is so unlucky to marry your son! The only sensible and kind child was forced by you to run away from home and be self-reliant! Shen Huaian, and you brothers, don't you feel guilty at all?"
Shen Changfeng and his companions lowered their heads, all too guilty to speak.
Old Xiao tore off their last fig leaf, "For the future of the Shen family, you have repeatedly given up Xiao Wan, your own sister. Fine, you don't want her, but I do!"
"Even if I risk my life, I will protect her! I won't let her get hurt again!"
Watching the emotional Mr. Xiao continuing to output, Shen Wan's already cold heart suddenly felt a hint of warmth.
You don't want her, but I do.
After living for two lifetimes, none of her relatives firmly said they wanted her.
My biological mother Xiao Yinqiu was one of them, but unfortunately she had a miserable life and died early.
If she were still alive, Shen Wan thought that he would definitely be able to experience the feeling of being protected by his mother.
Mr. Xiao said he wanted her in front of the Shen family.
Really?
Even if he knew that you had dispersed his son's soul, would he still let bygones be bygones?
Shen Wan looked at Mr. Xiao calmly.
Mr. Xiao gave her a firm look.
When Shen Qianxue saw this, she felt very uncomfortable.
She signed an agreement with Xiao Wenli, and she would receive a large sum of money after Mr. Xiao passed away.
But now Mr. Xiao already knows the truth.
Shen Qianxue suddenly thought of something, and her face suddenly darkened.
Could it be that Mr. Xiao already knew the truth during the auction?
So that's why he tricked her into donating all her property?
Shen Qianxue felt even more unwilling when she thought about how she had worked so hard to accompany Old Man Xiao, but in the end she didn't get a penny.
"Grandpa Xiao, I'm sorry, this is all my fault!"
"My brothers don't know anything. They don't even know that I was the one who pretended to be Wanwan and went to your side. If you want to blame someone, blame me! I will take all the responsibility."
After these words were spoken, her brothers, who felt sorry for her, could not help themselves.
Shen Luoyu hurriedly said: "Qianxue! You are obviously the one who is wronged, why do you want to take all the responsibility on yourself? You didn't claim it!"
"Our Shen family is sorry to Xiao Wan, but are you Xiao family innocent?"
"Qianxue didn't pretend to be someone else, but your son forced her to do so!"
Mr. Xiao's face darkened: "My son..."
He knew that Shen Qianxue's coming to the Xiao family must have something to do with those bastards in the family.
The details are still being investigated.
He has long stopped asking about family affairs over the years, and his sons are in charge of all matters, big and small.
After the incident of the real and fake daughter, he realized that the Xiao family had long been out of his control. When he wanted to find out something, there was always someone or something blocking him.
It must have been the sons who did it.
Shen Qianxue cried bitterly: "Fourth brother, don't say anything, don't make Grandpa Xiao sad, you are all family, just let me, an outsider, bear this pain..."
Shen Luoyu felt even more distressed for her, "Qianxue! You are always so kind and considerate, but you are just a girl. These things should not be blamed on you."
Seeing him defending Shen Qianxue like this, Old Xiao became even more angry.
"Chen Qianxue is a girl, what about Xiao Wan? Isn't Xiao Wan the same age as her?"
These words were like a thunderbolt that hit Shen Luoyu and several other people's hearts heavily.
yes.
They always subconsciously think that Shen Qianxue is still young, so even if she does something wrong, it is excusable.
But when facing Shen Wan, they always demand too much from her.
They really forgot that Shen Wan and Shen Qianxue are girls of the same age, and they will also be sad and upset.
Shen Changfeng looked at Shen Wan with a pale face, pleading in his eyes: "Xiao Wu, it was my fault for hiding this from you. I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry!"
Shen Wan was so focused on the master behind Shen Huaian that he ignored his apology.
"I have no interest in interfering in the affairs of your Shen and Xiao families."
"Chen Huaian, how lucky are you to meet this expert?"
Shen Huaian’s face changed: “I, I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Shen Wan looked around and said with a hint of sarcasm: "You brought me back to the Shen family to protect your Shen family from disaster."
"As long as I leave the Shen family, no one will protect you from disaster."
"You know I can't go back, so I asked that expert to set up this Five Elements Fortune Changing Formation."
Shen Huai'an was suddenly startled and blurted out subconsciously: "How do you know?"
He knew that Chen Wan had learned some metaphysical techniques from somewhere, but he always thought that she only knew the basics.
She never expected that she could see through the magic circle set up by the master at a glance.
Old Xiao's expression turned pale: "Is there a magic array here? What five elements fortune-changing array?"
Shen Wan stood high up on the dining table, waved her little hand, and pointed out the situation in Jiangshan one by one.
"This banquet hall is filled with objects representing the five elements, all of which have been tampered with."
"The potted plants on the east side have lush branches and leaves, which represent wood."
"The golden ancient mirror on the west wall is the Gengjin of the West."
"The red copper incense burner in the south corner represents the fiery Bing Ding fire of the south."
"The stone water tank in the north represents the northern Ren and Gui waters."
"The centerpiece of the banquet hall is made of piled-up ore, symbolizing the central earth element."
"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are all here. The power of the five elements plus the arrangements made by your master, you still say this is not a trap set for me?"
Shen Huaian laughed and said, “Oh, Xiaowan, you really misunderstood. These decorations are available in every hotel. Are they all meant to harm you?”
"Xiao Wu, you must have misunderstood Grandpa. Grandpa has assured us again and again that he will not ask you to go home to ward off disaster. This time, he invited you to the birthday party just to ease our relationship."
Chen Wan said coldly: "Believe it or not, just look at whether there are copper coins in the water tank."
"If it goes as expected, there are several copper coins in the water tank for every number of people in your Shen family. There must be some special spells engraved on these copper coins."
Shen Changfeng didn't believe that his grandfather would do this, so he walked over to take a look.
Under the water surface of the water tank were eight copper coins engraved with runes and names.
Eight copper coins represent eight blood relatives of the Shen family.
Shen Huaian, Shen Jianming, Shen Changfeng, Shen Yunyi, Shen Moyan, Shen Luoyu, Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Shuhao.
The only one missing was Chen Wan.
