Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy-Chapter 223: Stop writing (Lie Down Slowly)
Chapter 223
Perhaps Shen Bin didn't expect Shen Yichen to confront him so openly, leaving Shen Bin stunned.
He looked at Shen Yichen in disbelief and started to speak, "Yichen, you..."
Shen Yichen interrupted Shen Bin, not allowing him to finish, his eyes showing a different expression than before. "Father, I understand your intentions, but I think you have all been mistaken. The hospital is not a suitable place to talk. Let's have a proper conversation after the youngest wakes up."
Shen Bin wanted to say something more but eventually left with an unpleasant expression, stopped by his wife's intervention. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦
Only a few brothers remained in the hospital, and the atmosphere improved significantly.
Shen Yue discreetly observed Shen Hui, knowing well that Shen Hui was also analyzing their surroundings.
The situation created by Shen Bin just now was a chance she had planned for her future self. She had to seize this opportunity to get closer to Shen Hui.
However, Shen Hui looked different from what she remembered. Not only was she younger, but she also didn't carry herself with the same maturity as in her memories, which created a sense of disconnection for Shen Yue once again.
Ah... Well, she knew she should make an effort. It was not only her future self's expectation but also a blessing for a better world!
But...
It wouldn't hurt to have lunch first and then put in the effort, right?
She wondered what they would have for lunch today. They would definitely go to a place where they could order many dishes together.
Shen Yue quietly anticipated as the time for lunch finally arrived. Together with her brothers and Shen Hui, they went to a century-old congee shop next to the restaurant next to the roast duck place next to the hotpot restaurant next to the French cuisine restaurant next to the Japanese restaurant next to the steamed bun shop next to... Well, you get the idea.
Although the congee shop was clean and even had private rooms for privacy, Shen Yichen picked up the menu and ordered a plethora of dishes, appearing quite impressive.
However, in the end, Shen Yue looked at the plain congee in front of her and fell into contemplation.
"Big brother, is our family bankrupt?"
Shen Yichen, who was about to say something, paused slightly when he heard Shen Yue's question. A helpless smile appeared on his lips.
"No."
Shen Yue quickly continued as if she had known that Shen Yichen would give such an answer, "Then why is lunch only this?"
While speaking, Shen Yue used her watery big eyes to sway between the millet congee in front of her and Shen Yichen, clearly hinting, "Give me something else!"
Shen Yichen remained unmoved and displayed his authority as the eldest, "You just woke up, and this won't burden your body."
"What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, we can only have the same."
"And the day after tomorrow?" Shen Yue's voice was already on the verge of tears, though no tears had fallen yet, still being brewed.
Shen Yichen knew very well that Shen Yue was pretending to be pitiful, but he almost fell for it. He could only avert his gaze and firmly refuse, "Let's talk about the day after tomorrow later."
Afterward, Shen Yue remained silent for a long time.
As Shen Yichen redirected his gaze towards Shen Yue, he noticed that Shen Jize was discreetly pushing his bowl of fish fin porridge in front of her. Shen Wu provided cover, while Shen Shuangyi silently cheered them on. Although Shen Hui quietly ate her porridge, her eyes also shifted between the siblings, as if contemplating something.
Meanwhile, Shen Yue reached out determinedly. In her eyes, there was steadfastness, belief, and the courage to give everything for it. Today, the Shen siblings had gathered here, offering their hearts for a bowl of fish fin porridge...
Nonsense!
Shen Yichen's headache resurfaced after a long absence. "What are you all doing?"
Shen Jize, feeling relieved that he had been discovered, stood up in front of Shen Yichen and placed the porridge in front of Shen Yue. He softly but resolutely retorted, "If my sister wants to eat, let her eat... The taste of plain porridge is bland, so it's better to have some meat."
Shen Yichen didn't rush to refute him. Instead, he looked at Shen Wu and spoke, "Shen Wu, you tell me, in Shen Yue's current condition, is it better for her to eat plain porridge or seafood porridge?"
Shen Wu hadn't expected the focus to shift onto himself. After hesitating for a while, his academic instincts ultimately prevailed. He didn't go against his conscience by saying something that would benefit Shen Yue, but instead...
"Plain porridge."
Shen Yichen was satisfied and turned to Shen Jize. "Have you heard the saying 'a doting mother spoils her children'? Indulging in temporary gluttony is minor, but ruining one's health is significant."
Shen Jize cast a mournful glance at Shen Yue, leaving her with words of encouragement before finally walking away, still holding his fish fin porridge.
Shen Shuangyi spoke up to comfort, "Xiaoyue, it's okay. Even though you can't eat, you can at least smell it."
Shen Yue: ...
After the confrontation, Shen Yue ate her plain porridge. It was the taste she disliked the most, yet she felt a satisfaction she had never experienced before.
Big brother, you're truly amazing.
A person like him, even if controlled, would still clearly know what he was doing, what his goals were, and where he should go.
Shen Hui observed Shen Yue's gaze at that moment and couldn't help but recall the things Shen Yue had said to her when they first met.
[How have you been?]
[From the moment I laid eyes on you, I noticed your eyes. You have the same eyes as me.]
[How about being my little sister? I will protect you and never let you experience any dangerous situations.]
At that time, Shen Hui had only thought that Shen Yue, upon learning she wasn't a biological child of the Shen family, had been greatly affected and was talking nonsense.
From her perspective, as a fake daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yue's return signified her own plummeting status within the family. Everything she had previously known was denied. How could she possibly like her?
Shen Yue seemed to have a good relationship with her several brothers in the family.
So much so that they might even want to kill her.
But now, Shen Hui no longer believed that.
She was not an emotionally expressive person, and often struggled to understand others' emotions. However, it was precisely because of this that she could calmly observe the various emotions that humans experienced.
Just now, she finally understood.
Shen Yue, she was indeed a kindred spirit.
Shen Yue did not grow up in a happy family. From the ease with which her parents abandoned her, it was clear that Shen Yue had never entered their hearts.
But why was it that despite having a cold relationship with her parents, she could be so close to each and every one of her brothers?
When a person has questions, they seek answers.
Shen Hui was clever. Amidst the seemingly harmonious scenes at the dinner table, if one looked closely, they could see the invisible threads connecting Shen Yue to her brothers.
Every one of them had traces of being shaped by her. Shen Yue's influence was evident.
Shen Hui calmly sipped her porridge, but only she knew that her blood was boiling with excitement.
Shen Yue and she were the same kind of person.
In fact, Shen Yue was a complete madwoman.
This realization thrilled Shen Hui.
Although Shen Yue did not look in Shen Hui's direction, she knew that Shen Hui had probably guessed what had just happened. Shen Hui possessed that kind of insight.
The next step was certain: Shen Hui would definitely approach her tonight at the latest.
So, the future version of herself truly was a terrifying person. Why did she evolve into such a mind?
But Shen Yue quickly changed her perspective and found solace.
Fortunately, this terrifying person was none other than herself.
