Chapter 286 Man is Iron, Food is Steel



In Shen Fei's generation, the direct line of the Shen family has four children, all born of the same mother: the eldest brother Shen Lin, the second sister Shen Shuang, the third sister Shen Lu, and the youngest son—Shen Fei.

As the saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the old lady's lifeblood. As the youngest child in the Shen family, and a precious boy at that, Shen Fei was doted on by the elders of the Shen family after his birth. They were treated like precious treasures.

Two years older than Shen Fei, Shen Lu was still young and naive, but she disliked Shen Fei and disliked Shen Fei stealing her parents' love. That love should have belonged to her; she was the most precious little princess in the family, and everyone should love, respect, and follow her.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. No matter how much Shen Lu made a fuss, Shen Fei's position remained unshakable. She was foolishly pampered and protected by the adults.

Seeing that Shen Fei was unrepentant and constantly opposed her, Shen Lu outwardly treated Shen Fei and her brother well, but secretly, taking advantage of her age and knowledge, she would beat and scold Shen Fei. However, Shen Fei thought that Shen Lu was just playing with him. No matter how badly Shen Lu hurt him, when questioned by adults, Shen Fei insisted that he had done it accidentally.

Shen Shuang was eight years old then, a sensible little girl. Whenever her younger brother spent time with his sister, he would be covered in bruises the next day. This seemed suspicious, and Shen Shuang worried that the servants were bullying her siblings. So she secretly observed Shen Lu and Shen Fei closely for a long time. As the saying goes, "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it in the first place," and Shen Shuang unintentionally discovered that Shen Lu was bullying Shen Fei.

Shen Shuang couldn't bear to see her younger brother Shen Fei suffer, so she told her parents everything. Shen's parents were heartbroken and severely punished Shen Lu.

Shen Fei has likely gone astray. Instead of remembering Shen Shuang's kindness in saving him from suffering, he blames and hates Shen Shuang for meddling in other people's business, causing his dear sister Shen Lu to suffer innocently.

From this point on, Shen Fei came to hate Shen Shuang, who had the face of a bodhisattva but the heart of a devil.

Ji Xiaoxiao listened attentively to Shen Fei's story, utterly speechless at this inhuman way of thinking.

Shen Shuang risked offending Shen Lu and enduring the harsh criticism of Shen's parents to save him from being tormented, beaten, and oppressed by Shen Lu. She had done everything she could for him. However, Shen Fei was not grateful and harbored resentment towards Shen Shuang, targeting her in everything she did.

"Just because of this incident when you were little, you think your sister is a slut?"

Shen Fei shook her head, and her greasy black hair could no longer flutter.

“That bitch caused my sister to be punished by those two old bastards. Twenty strokes of the cane! That bitch snitched on me, and my sister got twenty strokes. As my sister’s own brother, how can I not resent and blame her? It’s all that bitch’s fault for meddling.”

Shen Fei's eyes flashed with a vicious, cold light, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Fei coldly. Shen Fei's personality was extreme and cruel; otherwise, she wouldn't have committed such a heinous crime as murdering her own sister.

“Shen Lu deserved to be punished. Of course, your second sister may bear some responsibility, but she did it for your own good. Your second sister saved you from being bullied by Shen Lu.”

Shen Shuang was in the most difficult position, like the cream in the middle of a sandwich. If she reported Shen Lu, Shen Lu would be punished by her parents. If she chose to remain silent, Shen Fei would be bullied by Shen Lu. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Shen Shuang was torn between two options. After much deliberation, Shen Shuang chose her younger brother, Shen Fei, not because Shen Fei was a boy, but because Shen Fei was still young.

Ji Xiaoxiao sighed. Such a good older sister was called a slut by Shen Fei. Shen Fei respected and admired Shen Lu, who was mindless and only knew how to bully him.

Discarding the dross and keeping the essence, refining gold in a fierce fire, all for purity. Everyone else gets rid of the bad, but is Chen Fei crazy, or what? She treats the trash like a treasure and won't let go.

"What do you mean, 'saved me'? 'For my own good'? It was clearly Shen Shuang who accused me of having a close relationship with my sister. She got jealous and, seeing that she couldn't get involved, she decided to throw caution to the wind and frame my sister. That bitch Shen Shuang is heartless and ruthless. I, Shen Fei, don't have a sister like that."

Shen Fei was furious, and a sound like a wild beast growled came from her throat.

"If Chen Lu hits you and bullies you, then how can she be a good older sister?"

“My sister said that hitting and scolding are signs of affection, and not hitting or scolding is a disaster. My sister likes me and loves me, which is why she hits and scolds me. There are countless servants in my family, but my sister only hits and scolds me. That is the best proof that she loves me, her younger brother.”

Shen Fei's face was filled with fervor; her respect for Shen Lu came from the bottom of her heart.

He suddenly raised his head, his thick eyebrows and large eyes wide open, revealing blood vessels beneath the whites of his eyes. The blood vessels were dense and tightly wrapped around his dark pupils.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, stood up, and kicked Shen Fei in the face.

Shen Fei cried out in pain, glaring fiercely at Ji Xiaoxiao.

"You dare hit me?"

Ji Xiaoxiao shrugged. "I hit you because I love you."

Use their spear to attack their shield.

Shen Fei's cheeks twitched, and she was speechless.

I love you, I love you so much.

As Ji Xiaoxiao spoke these words with deep affection, she pressed closer and closer.

Now, I am at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. Chen Fei huddled in the corner, his hands clenched into fists and pressed against his chest, his expression solemn and ready to fight.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked down at Shen Fei from her high vantage point, her slightly chubby face full of mockery.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Fei asked anxiously.

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study. Your third sister, Chen Lu, taught me something that I have benefited immensely from." Ji Xiaoxiao was completely convinced, like a die-hard fan facing their long-admired idol. No matter how slovenly the idol is, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
