Chapter 165: The Shen Family Has a Daughter Who Was Born With a Phoenix’s Fate
“What did I witness tonight? I’ve witnessed how Shen Qianrou is being cherished as the precious princess of the Shen family. She will also be marrying into the Su family and is destined to be the respected and loved young madam!”
“You obviously knew that I don’t like her, but you still want me to witness her happiness and how smug she looks. More importantly, everything she has today was all stolen from me!”
This was the first time Shen Fanxing has lost her composure in front of Shen Shanghua.
After a long while, she took several deep breaths and tried her best to regain her composure. She then laughed sarcastically.
“I feel that I only have myself to blame by coming here tonight. I came here to be disgusted.”
She pulled her hand back and retreated, and her face was wiped off of all emotions.
She acted so nonchalantly as though nothing had happened.
Shen Shanghua gave a heavy sigh and expounded, “Fanxing, I merely want you to come back home, back to our family! Although your Grandma’s words may not sound pleasant, she isn’t wrong. The outcome has been decided. If you don’t put the past behind you, will you never return to the Shen family?”
Shen Fanxing curled her lips into a contemptuous smile and quipped, “Return?”
After a long pause, she added, “It’s cold outside. Hurry back to the private room.”
In the end, she didn’t say anything unnecessary regarding her return to the Shen family.
It was impossible!
Even if she wanted to go back, it would be to seek revenge!
—
They had no choice but to continue with the dinner as Su Heng and Shen Qianrou’s wedding was their priority.
When the dinner ended, Su Heng, as the future son-in-law of the Shen family, had to be fulfill his duty.
Su Bingyou and Cai Jingyi returned home first.
Su Bingyou was clearly displeased and upset.
Cai Jingyi took a deep breath and glared at him. “Why are you still so angry? You’re the one who wants a daughter-in-law. What’s with your long face at the dinner just now?”
Su Bingyou replied in a heavy voice, “The dinner tonight has put Fanxing in a difficult position and left her feeling aggrieved. If not for Fanxing, the Su Corporation would have collapsed during the crisis that year… Aren’t we being too ungrateful and burning the bridge after crossing it?”
Cai Jingyi pressed her lips and said, “I’ve always known that our family owes that child. But we’re not the ones deciding their relationship!”
Su Bingyou frowned and snapped, “Don’t think I don’t know that you were the one who wanted to matchmake Su Heng and Qianrou back then!”
“I’m doing this for our family!”
Upset, Cai Jingyi trudged on, “Which of the incidents that Fanxing caused back then can be brought to light? How can the Su family accept such a woman with a terrible reputation? Moreover, Su Heng is my son. What’s wrong with me not wanting him to marry a woman whose image has been defiled?”
“Moreover, it’s not like you didn’t notice the Shens’ attitude towards Fanxing all these years. Even if Fanxing enters our family, what can she do or contribute?”
Seeing that Su Bingyou’s anger was slowly dissipating, Cai Jingyi heaved a sigh of relief before whispering mysteriously,
“Besides, do you know why the Shen family is so biased towards Qianrou?”
Su Bingyou turned to look at her, and the doubt in his eyes was obvious.
Previously, Fanxing was also doted on and treated like a princess in the Shen family.
It was just that for some unknown reason, the decisive Jiang Rongrong, who had always hated mistresses, suddenly suggested that Shen Defan should bring his mistress and daughter back. And she doted on them excessively.
The reason was—
Cai Jingyi said in a low voice,
“In the past, the abbot of Lingxi Monastery revealed that the Shen family has a daughter who was born with a phoenix’s fate. The phoenix hides in the forest and it’s hard to return to its nest. Evildoers will harm her and her life is destined to be plagued with misfortune… I forgot what happened after that, but there’s something important he said— She will outstrip and surpass others!”
