Chapter 1860: Chapter 1861: How Could Rong Yan Be the Miss Chu?
An invisible hand placed itself on her waist.
Rong Yan turned her head in a daze and found that Li Shengxiao had, at some point, wrapped his arm around her waist. This posture seemed like a bind, but more like protection!
Her frantically beating heart gradually calmed down. Although it couldn’t be completely at peace, it was at least not as chaotic as it was at the beginning.
…
Shen Yu was the first person who couldn’t accept it, “You say she’s your sister?”
He glanced in Rong Yan’s direction, then turned back with a forced, complicated smile, “Ha. This joke isn’t funny!”
He pointed at Rong Yan, gritting his teeth as he spoke, “Her foster mother already said that when she was found, there was a letter with her. The letter clearly said that her biological parents were hoodlums and an even worse loose woman! Even if Chu Xi isn’t the real Miss Chu, the real Miss Chu was lost twenty years ago, she still couldn’t possibly be the real Miss Chu!”
Mrs. Shen also laughed insincerely and forcibly on the side, saying, “Yes, Madame Chu, are you sure about this? Don’t be deceived by those with ulterior motives. How could Rong possibly be your daughter? There must be some misunderstanding here.”
Jiang Chenyue sneered, “Who’s deceiving me?”
Mrs. Shen quickly glanced towards Rong Yan and hastily tried to cover up with an explanation, “I’m not saying Rong is deceiving you, I’m worried someone with intentions might use this to deceive people.”
Jiang Chenyue was not accommodating, “Hmph! Instead of worrying about other families’ matters, you’d better mind your own daughter. Don’t act like you’re looking for a man every day staring at other people’s sons-in-law!”
“You!” Mrs. Shen’s face turned red with anger, “How can you talk like that!”
Jiang Chenyue, unlike Rong Yan, didn’t have to give face to elders and immediately crossed her arms and sneered, “Am I wrong? Isn’t your daughter staring at my son-in-law like a hawk all the time?”
“…”
The Shen Family was collectively rendered speechless by her retort, unable to say a word for a while.
Shen Siyuan’s affection for Li Shengxiao was well-known in the circle, Jiang Chenyue wasn’t wrong, and the Shen Family couldn’t deny it.
In the past, Rong Yan was just a celebrity without family background or connections, and full of rumors. Even if Shen Siyuan openly liked Li Shengxiao, people in the circle didn’t see anything wrong with it. After all, in their eyes, Rong Yan marrying Li Shengxiao was reaching high! Shen Siyuan pursuing Li Shengxiao was considered pursuing love! At most, people might disdain Miss Shen for competing with a celebrity, but they wouldn’t consider Shen Siyuan morally wrong.
That’s because in their eyes, Rong Yan was not one of them!
No matter how beautiful Rong Yan was, how capable she showed herself to be, or how outstanding she was in all aspects, she wasn’t part of their circle. They wouldn’t discuss equality with someone outside their circle.
But if Rong Yan suddenly became Miss Chu, knowing Li Shengxiao was married and still pursuing him, Shen Siyuan’s actions would change in nature.
Because when Rong Yan became ‘one of the people in their circle’, Shen Siyuan’s actions undoubtedly ascended to a moral level!
Sir Shen, as the elder, didn’t want to see his family’s reputation damaged, so he reluctantly interjected, “Madame Chu, I understand your feelings, but this matter isn’t clear yet, and you don’t have to be so aggressive. If my granddaughter is truly in the wrong, I’ll apologize on her behalf. If not… Though Shen Yu’s words are blunt, he speaks truth in a crude manner. Everyone outside knows Miss Rong’s background; it’s hard to believe the Chu Family suddenly claims Miss Rong as their Miss Chu.”
