After the words fell, there was silence.
Shen Zhiyan's expression was gloomy. After a long while, he slowly said, "I have never asked you for anything in these years, but in this matter, I hope you... She has also been your daughter for nineteen years. Those The years of companionship and love are not fake, and the Shen family can afford to support one more person. I have no objection if you want to take Su Zhuxin back, but Shen Zhaozhao must also be the daughter of the Shen family."
laugh.
Shen Zhengde snorted coldly and looked at his eldest son, who had rarely softened his attitude towards him, with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect that bastard was so capable? He could actually make you bow your head, but you are worthy of your own relatives." A sister? A sister that your mother wanted to give birth to even at the risk of her own life? "
When he mentioned his deceased mother, Shen Zhiyan looked even more horrified, but after being silent for a long time, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, "You and I know the real cause of my mother's death. If it weren't for you and that... woman being seen by her, So...how could she have a premature birth or even a difficult birth later?"
Shen Zhiyan's eyes were so intense that Shen Zhengde did not dare to look at him and avoided his eyes, but he still made excuses for himself, "I... I just made the same mistake that most men make. And...and I was just confused for a moment, I have only loved your mother from beginning to end."
laugh.
Hearing this, Shen Zhiyan sneered and just looked at him, not even bothering to say a word in rebuttal. How ridiculous, until now, he still doesn't feel that he did anything wrong, and is even still making excuses.
What is he expecting? He's always been like this, hasn't he? Even in these years, his kindness to Shen Zhaozhao was probably due to his own guilt and a desire to make up for it, right?
Otherwise, why would Shen Zhaozhao not care about other aspects of education except material life? To put it nicely, it sounds like pampering and indulgence, but this is by no means a sign of a father who truly loves his daughter.
"It's up to you. What you think has nothing to do with me. I only have one request. Even if Su Zhuxin returns to the Shen family, Shen Zhaozhao will still be the eldest lady of the Shen family."
Hearing this, Shen Zhengde raised his head and became furious, "Do you have to protect that bastard? Are you ignoring the biological sister your mother gave birth to with her own life? My Shen family can afford to raise a bastard, but I Shen Why should the family's bloodline be confused by a bastard? Especially that bastard who is indulgent and willful, without any rules. Over the years, I don't know how many domineering things she has done in the name of my Shen family, and I have cleaned up many of them for her. A mess? Let a bastard continue to stay in the Shen family and dominate? I don't agree!"
After finishing speaking, the coldness on Shen Zhiyan's face became even stronger. He stared at the nominal father without a trace of respect in his eyes, "I said, I also hope that Su Zhuxin returns to the Shen family, but she is a member of the Shen family. The same goes for Shen Zhaozhao, the young lady. Moreover, I am telling you this now just to inform you that as long as you cooperate, it will be fine if you don’t cooperate. The Shen family is not willing to raise her, and I, Shen Zhiyan, can also afford it. It’s just that the media has come How you report it is none of my business."
"You...!" Shen Zhengde was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You're such a traitor!"
"Hey." Hearing the curse in his ears, Shen Zhiyan chuckled, "You just know?" After saying that, he continued to look at Shen Zhengde and said, "Now I am the owner of the largest share of Shen's enterprise. If you agree, we can still get along as well as before, if you don't agree, I can move out with Shen Zhaozhao."
Looking at Nizi, who didn't look like he was joking at all, the anger in Shen Zhengde's eyes almost turned into reality, and the hand on the back of the chair could not help but tremble with anger, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's okay if you understand it this way."
"you....!"
Shen Zhengde was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He stroked his chest and looked at Shen Zhiyan who was not moved at all. His eyes darkened. After calming down, he finally compromised, " Yes, I can claim to the outside world that Zhu Xin is the twin sister of that bastard, but I have a condition."
"What?"
"Zhu Xin must recognize Shen Zhaozhao on the day of her twentieth birthday party. We already owe her a lot. She is also your biological sister. Let her celebrate her birthday with Shen Zhaozhao and then return to the Shen family in glory. This I don’t think you can refuse?”
When Shen Zhiyan heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, but quickly agreed.
That day...should also be the most suitable day.
Guests gathered, and most of the people who had a good reputation or had connections with the Shen family would come over. Choosing that day to reveal Su Zhuxin's identity was the simplest and most effective way to spread the news in the shortest time.
In addition, even if he still favors Shen Zhaozhao, Su Zhuxin is his biological sister after all. After being lost for so many years, she should be given a grand comeback birthday party.
"Yes, but you have to promise not to favor one over the other that day. Su Zhuxin is your daughter, and Shen Zhaozhao is also the daughter you have loved for twenty years."
Hearing this, Shen Zhengde frowned unconsciously, but worried about the person in front of him, he quickly disappeared and said, "Okay, I promise you."
After receiving the guarantee, Shen Zhiyan didn't stay any longer and immediately looked at him and turned around and walked out.
The moment Shen Zhiyan turned around, Shen Zhengde's expression immediately darkened, and his eyes were extremely fierce.
The eldest lady of the Shen family?
That bastard deserves it too!
He wanted to give her the greatest embarrassment on the most grand and special occasion! At that time, in front of so many people, no matter how angry Zhiyan is, he will still be concerned about his father's face, right?
As I thought about it, a smile slowly crept up on that sinister face...
----------------------------------------
On the other side, as soon as Shen Zhiyan left the study, he faintly saw a white skirt disappearing at the corner of the corridor. His expression changed slightly and he immediately ran over, but when he arrived at the corner, there was no one.
Seeing this, Shen Zhiyan stared at the winding stairs with a dazed expression. A few uncertainties flashed in his heart. Could it be that he was dazzled just now?
But he didn't dare to joke about it, so he immediately walked up the spiral staircase to the third floor.
"Dong, dong, dong, Zhao Zhao, are you asleep?"
Shen Zhiyan stared at the closed door in front of him with a heavy expression. If he could, he hoped that she would remain that carefree, indulgent and willful little girl all her life.
"What's wrong? Brother, is something wrong?"
After a long time, the white wooden door in front of her slowly opened. Looking at the little girl wrapped in a bath towel and applying a facial mask, Shen Zhiyan paused, and then looked at the wooden door behind her without leaving any trace, "You were taking a shower just now. ?”
"That's right. Then I came out of the bathroom and was about to apply a facial mask. Then you knocked on the door. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
