Chapter 573: She Is a Shen Family Member
In the hall of the Shen’s home, all the Shen family members gathered together.
His expression stiff, Shen Donglai sat on the sofa without a word. Gao Lihua sat beside him, feeling her husband’s anger clearly. She gazed at Shen Tianlang who sat opposite them with a flash of worry in her eyes.
Shen Weiran also sat on the next sofa, her face turning green at one time and white at another time. She was obviously angry. But since Shen Donglai said nothing, she had to bear with it.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely stifling. Shen Weiwei saw the sternness in the faces of her parents, her aunt, and her brother. The mere thought of the news online made her increasingly more indignant.
“Who does Xia Ning think she is? Does she have any proof as she slanders us? Who knows whether her mother was born within the Shen family? She herself was born to someone unknown.” Shen Weiwei looked at Shen Donglai, “Dad, we mustn’t acknowledge her!”
“Weiwei!” Shen Tianlang shouted coldly, “Don’t talk nonsense. Did you forget your upbringing and courtesy?!”
Seeing her elder brother shout at her, Shen Weiwei grew unhappy and complained to her father, “Dad, look, my elder brother helps the outsider bully me. That Xia Ning is of no good…”
“Your brother is right!” Shen Donglai looked at his daughter sternly, “You have lost your upbringing and courtesy!”
“Dad…” Shen Weiwei looked at Shen Donglai in disbelief. It was beyond her imagination that he would agree with her elder brother at this time. If her elder brother had not acknowledged Xia Ning’s identity rashly, they would not be in such a passive position right now.
Gao Lihua looked at her daughter with her expression also stiff, “Weiwei, you are too young to be meddling in this matter.”
“I’m not meddling. I’m also a Shen family member!” Shen Weiwei completely blew up. Why did her mother criticize her too? She said angrily, “Anyhow, I won’t acknowledge Xia Ning and her dirty mother…”
“Shen Weiwei!” Shen Tianlang became highly indignant, “Who is Aunt Chuxia’s mother? Who is Aunt Chuxia to you? Don’t you know?”
Shen Weiwei froze when she heard him yelling. Now she also understood the reason why her parents were angry with her. Shen Chuxia’s mother is also her father’s mother and her own grandmother. Although she had never seen her before, she had been downright rude to her father’s mother just now.
Seeing Shen Weiwei bend her head and dare not to speak, Shen Weiran opened her mouth to say, “All right, Weiwei is not thoughtful enough. Don’t be angry.”
Shen Weiwei looked up at Shen Weiran gratefully. Her aunt was really kind.
Shen Tianlang glanced at Shen Weiran indifferently. Previously, he could still treat her with respect. Now as the truth emerged gradually, he had only hatred for her. The woman he had respected for so many years turned out to be such a malicious person who robbed his own aunt of her identity and caused her downfall.
Even Gao Lihua despised Shen Weiran. Or she had always despised her from the beginning. As a daughter of the Gao family, her mother was the perfectly justifiable Mrs. Gao. When young, her father also had affairs with many pretty women. So what she hated most since childhood was a mistress like this and her children.
“Tianlang, what do you think we should do now?” Shen Donglai suddenly opened his mouth, gazing at Shen Tianlang opposite him.
Looking at his father, Shen Tianlang obviously did not expect that his father was able to stay calm now. He answered accordingly, “Now, as Ke has admitted her identity before the mass media, we naturally should make a statement and invite her to come back to the Shen family.” Even if his father would be angry at this, he had to propose the point. They must give back to her what they owed her.
Gao Lihua looked at her son worriedly. He knew what his father hated to hear but still dared to say it.
Shen Weiwei was also waiting for Shen Donglai’s fury. Since her elder brother was biased in favor of Xia Ning, she did not want this elder brother. It would be best to have her father reprimand him.
Shen Weiran could not agree more with Shen Weiwei.
“Okay!” Shen Donglai’s voice suddenly sounded, “It is up to you to arrange the statement and contact Xia Ning. From now on, she is a Shen family member.”
On hearing this, everybody looked at Shen Donglai in shock. Did they hear wrong?!
