Shen Su held Bei Shuo’s hand and wiped her wound with iodophor. She complained, “What kind of person is she? How could she be so ruthless?” Bei Shuo blew at the iodophor on her wound and said nonchalantly, “She’s probably in a panic.”
Hence, she told her about Bei Le and Gu Ming.
Shen Su’s eyes widened. ‘This is too… unbelievable, right? Why is it more complicated than our family? She’s not even your mother’s biological daughter, but she’s actually more domineering than you, her biological daughter? You too. How can you let such a person bully you? I would have hit her directly!’
Bei Shuo couldn’t tell others about Mu Ci’s arrangements and could only chuckle.
Shen Su tidied up the first aid kit and said, “No wonder Big Brother spent so much effort to send you to our house. Although we all know that he wanted to support you, we didn’t know that your maternal family was so unbearable. How could you have such parents and brother? And such a vicious and shameless adopted daughter. I’ve really opened my eyes!”
Bei Shuo didn’t mind. “I couldn’t accept it at first, but I remembered what Master said. We’re not fated to be with our parents. We did what we had to do, so we won’t force anything else. We don’t have anything to ask for, so we won’t be angry or hateful. It’s good for both us and others!’
Shen Su was stunned when she heard Bei Shuo’s calm words.
Bei Shuo waved her hand in front of her eyes. “Hey, come back to your senses! What are you thinking about?”
Shen Su bit her lip and said softly, “Actually, my mother and I are also very awkward existences in the Shen Family.”
Bei Shuo looked at her in confusion.
Shen Su smiled bitterly. “Sister and Brother are my half-siblings. Everyone says that it was my mother who interfered in Father’s marriage, causing Sister and Brother’s mother to die of illness. Brother broke up with Father and ran away from home. Sister was also raised by Grandpa and Grandma. ‘
“I actually knew this since I was young. I just pretended not to know. Because I was afraid that others would mention it and hurt Mom and me, I was very fierce and domineering since I was young. No matter which sibling provoked me, I would fight them with my life. As time passed, no one dared to provoke me, and I became a person with a bad reputation.’
Shen Su lowered her eyes.
Bei Shuo was shocked. “Why can’t I tell? If you’re really such a domineering person, how can the Shen Family’s grandparents and Sister Shen Bai like you? And my Second Senior Brother, if he doesn’t like you, he definitely won’t allow me to interact with you. Shen Su, this is the first time I’ve seen someone slander themselves like this. You’re really… ‘
Shen Su smiled. “Maybe it’s because I’m ugly? Everyone in the Shen Family is good-looking, except for me. Things are always precious when they’re rare.” She couldn’t continue on and laughed.
Bei Shuo pinched her face with a smile and the two of them played together.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door. Bei Shuo smiled and went to open the door. Mu En was standing outside.
Bei Shuo was stunned to see him before she could stop smiling. Mu En was also dazzled by Bei Shuo’s bright smile.
“Are you here to look for me?” Shen Su also came to the door. Bei Shuo gave up her position for her.
Mu En smiled. “My mother and Sister Song Nan spent a lot of effort to invite you to our house to play, but you’re hiding here and talking to your friend in private? Shen Su, give me some face and come down with me to see Mom.’ Shen Su asked, “Are my mother and sister here?”
Mu En said, “Not yet. Let’s go down and wait. Sister-in-law, do you want to go down with us?”
Shen Su tugged at Bei Shuo. “Of course. This is your home. You’re the host and I’m a guest. You have to accompany me at all times!”
Bei Shuo sighed. “Honorable guest, you have a boyfriend to accompany you.
Please let me off.’
Mu En said, “I didn’t expect the two of you to have such a good relationship. Looks like I don’t have to worry about you sisters-in-law not getting along in the future?’
Shen Su rolled her eyes at him. “Who agreed to marry you? You’re still on probation!”
Mu En smiled and said, “Alright, alright, alright. It’s a probation period. Miss
Shen Su, please do me a favor and let me become your formal boyfriend!”
Bei Shuo looked at the gentle Mu En and couldn’t help but hesitate. He seemed to be very attentive and sincere to Shen Su. He didn’t seem to be hypocritical.
Could it be that they had misunderstood Mu En? Perhaps they had misunderstood Mu En because Madam Mu favored him too much?
