Chapter 69 She Has a Child
Shen Xizhen's lips twitched violently at this, and she looked at the person in front of her with annoyance, saying with disdain, "Zheng Jiayu, you'd better not talk. How can someone who looks so gentle and kind say something so irritating?"
"What's it to you? I'm happy doing it this way, so don't interfere."
After learning about Shen Yang's plan, Zheng Jiayu looked at Shen Xizhen and her brother and suddenly felt that the two of them were quite pitiful.
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Jiayu asked, "You're not blocking anyone's way, are you?"
Shen Xizhen's face turned dark.
This person really doesn't need to be so smart. If they know everything, what's the point of playing games?
Seeing Shen Xizhen's completely changed expression, Zheng Jiayu knew that this matter was probably true.
“It seems your father has found a child he prefers, so he needs your lives to pave the way for that child. But you two are truly pitiful.” Zheng Jiayu looked at the brother and sister with pity.
They did so much for Shen Yang here, and yet Shen Yang just gave up on them like that.
Looking at the two of them, Zheng Jiayu felt that they were being taken advantage of.
Feeling annoyed by being stared at like that, Shen Lin said, "Stop staring at us like that. We didn't say anything, and we're not doing as badly as you think."
Zheng Jiayu nodded noncommittally: "Yeah, you have money, and then your parents are after you, and you're still not living a really bad life?"
Shen Lin turned to look at Shen Xizhen beside her, and was immediately amused and annoyed. She looked at Shen Xizhen and said, "Brother, look at the kind of people you like."
“I don’t like Zheng Jiayu,” Shen Xizhen said expressionlessly.
But Zheng Jiayu wasn't wrong either; when the brother and sister left there and came here, they were probably just bargaining chips in their hands.
Seeing Shen Xizhen staring at them like that, the people around them immediately fell silent.
"I……"
"Alright, stop saying things like that."
"You just want Shen Yang dead so you can go on with your lives?"
Looking at Shen Xizhen in front of her, Zheng Jiayu asked with a curious expression.
In response, Shen Xizhen nodded: "We now know about the Shen family."
"But what about your mother? Shouldn't you call her back and ask? Maybe it's not as serious as you think?"
The two fell silent.
In fact, their mothers didn't have a good relationship with them when they were young, and could even ignore them completely.
Their mothers wouldn't care whether they were injured or not.
Seeing the two fall silent, Zheng Jiayu was somewhat taken aback: "Your mother wouldn't even care about this, would she? If that's the case, then you're really pitiful to be treated like this by your own mother."
“We’ve been like this since we were little, but now that I think about it, maybe she knew about it all along.”
So I don't want to have a deep emotional connection with them, after all, who can accept that their child will eventually die?
Zheng Jiayu's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the two people in front of her and hesitantly asked, "You two siblings..."
Halfway through her sentence, Zheng Jiayu hesitated, unsure how to proceed. Finally, she asked, "Regarding this matter, is the son he cares about your parents' biological child, your younger brother?"
When Zheng Jiayu asked this question, Shen Xizhen and the others remained silent, unsure whether to ask it themselves.
"We don't know either, but we'll go back and ask them tonight." They definitely won't tell their family members when they call, but it's different when they call other people; they might tell them about things at home.
Seeing the situation of the two, Zheng Jiayu said, "In that case, you should go back first. You can come back and talk about this matter when Gu Yunting returns. He will be back in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhen and her brother's eyes flickered slightly, and they said with a self-deprecating laugh, "We know all this."
"We're leaving now."
After everyone left, Zheng Jiayu said regretfully, "She's a pitiful person too."
Back home, Shen Lin looked at Shen Xizhen across from her, her hands clenched tightly: "Brother, do we really have to ask? You're saying that he really is our younger brother?"
Shen Xizhen remained silent on this matter.
After a long silence, Shen Xizhen picked up the phone and said to Shen Lin, "Whether it's as we said or not, we'll know by making a phone call."
Shen Xizhen didn't call her family, and they definitely wouldn't tell her if she called now.
In the end, Shen Xizhen called a close friend.
"Zhang Qiang, I want to ask you a question. Do my parents have a child?"
Zhang Qiang remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Yes, those two children are already five years old and are very much loved by your parents."
Five years old?
Hearing this age, Shen Xi really felt abandoned.
They had this child not long after they arrived here, and yet they still criticize them now, making them do so many things.
How ridiculous!
Rubbing his temples, Shen Xizhen wore a cold smile.
"Oh, I see."
“Recently, I heard from my dad that your dad’s side has been doing a lot of things and making big moves. If this continues, your family will definitely be ruined. You’d better make a break sooner rather than later and stop listening to your parents. They just treat you and your siblings as pawns and never thought that you are also their children.” Zhang Qiang on the other end of the phone said what he knew.
Shen Xizhen said with a wry smile, "Zhang Qiang, thank you. I never expected that you would be the one to tell us all this in the end."
"Don't mention it. Your parents are really going too far. Even if they like their youngest son, aren't you and your siblings also children? Aren't they worried that something might happen to you?"
Shen Xizhen didn't say anything. If they were really worried about her and Shen Lin, they wouldn't have made such a decision to send them to their deaths.
This wasn't a plan at all; it was a plan to perish together with those Shen Yang wanted to eliminate. As for what would happen to the siblings, they wouldn't care, and wouldn't even consider it a big deal.
Seeing that Shen Xizhen didn't say a word, Zhang Qiang knew that Shen Yang might have asked Shen Xizhen and the others to do something.
“Shen Xizhen, you and your sister mustn’t do anything foolish. It’s good that you’re not in the capital, so you don’t need to worry about things here. As for your own situation, you’d better find a way to resolve it directly and not let their orders affect your lives. Shen Xizhen, you’ve done so much for Shen Yang over the years, now it’s time for you and your sister to live your own lives.”
Zhang Qiang had previously advised Shen Xizhen.
At that time, Shen Xizhen still considered them family.
