Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy
Chapter 228: Shared Tribulation
Chapter 228
Are french fries delicious?
Of course they are delicious, is that even a question? Especially when eating them with my sister, they taste even better.
However, facing Shen Yichen's question, no one dared to answer that they were delicious. Although the big brother was usually nice to them, he certainly had his authority.
Could someone managing such a big consortium not have some skills?
So everyone obediently kept their heads down being lectured, while thinking about where they had slipped up this time. They had just checked Shen Yue thoroughly before leaving the fast food restaurant, there were no traces at all, even the smell was taken care of, and they had brushed their teeth again. How could they possibly have been found out?
Seeing their expressions, Shen Yichen knew what they were thinking without having to pry it out of them. He directly told them, "After you bought french fries at Shen Yue’s school gate last time, I bought all the shops in the city that sell junk food, and had my staff remember your faces and names.
As long as you go, someone will let me know."
With just one sentence, the big brother showcased his frivolous richness.
Was it reasonable to buy all the junk food shops just to prevent his family from eating junk food?
To Shen Yichen, it was nothing.
Shen Hui saw that no one was speaking, so she kept silent as well. But she felt that Shen Yichen's approach was somewhat silly, she thought it was unnecessary.
The matters between the Shen brothers were none of her business anyway, she was just an onlooker.
But just as she thought this, she noticed Shen Yichen's complicated gaze falling on her.
Before Shen Hui could make out his expression, she heard him say to her, "This is the first time you have fooled around with them, so I won't lecture you. Take a good look at our family rules later, know what you can and cannot do. If you do what you are not supposed to, be prepared to be punished."
Of course Shen Hui did not take his words to heart. She did not consider herself part of the Shen family yet, why would she need to abide by their family rules?
She was unwilling.
She had returned to make the Shens compensate her, she had returned to torment them. How could she let some family rules restrict her?
Shen Hui gave a cold laugh, held her head high, and directly answered, "Don't bother me so much, you owe me this."
Shen Jize sucked in a breath of cold air and secretly moved closer to his sister, whispering in her ear, "Sis, why do I feel like she has changed somewhat? Wasn't she different when she first arrived...that kind of...what's that word called?"
Shen Jize racked his brains but could not recall the term he had seen when reading online novels with Shen Yue.
Shen Yue understood what Shen Jize meant and filled in the blank, "A white lotus flower?"
Shen Jize nodded, "Yes!"
Shen Yue glanced at Shen Yichen, seeing that he was still staring down Shen Hui, she also moved to Shen Jize's ear to explain, "She was more nervous the first time, so she acted weaker. Now that she has discovered no one can do anything to her, she no longer needs to humiliate herself to win the Shens’ sympathy and squeeze me out."
Shen Jize did not doubt her words. Shen Hui must have been afraid on the first day as well. But Shen Yue was even more terrified. He would stand by Shen Yue’s side no matter what!
Although he thought this way, a trace of guilt still rose in Shen Jize's heart. The guilt was so faint that even he himself did not notice it.
While Shen Yue gave this explanation to comfort Shen Jize, she knew herself that the real reason for Shen Hui’s change in attitude was still because of her words last night, along with the cooperation from Shen’s parents.
When Shen Hui no longer saw her as the pampered princess who owned everything, her intense hostility crumbled. Shen Hui also lost the reason to continue humiliating herself while pretending to be pitiful, in order to win the Shen family’s sympathy and squeeze Shen Yue out.
Now in Shen Hui’s heart, everyone in the Shen family meant nothing to her. She just wanted to do as she pleased, she would not yield. So her true nature was naturally exposed.
But Shen Yue was not worried at all about Shen Yichen confronting Shen Hui.
Shen Hui was just a 15-year-old. Shen Yichen could easily suppress her.
As Shen Yue expected, she was right.
After hearing Shen Hui’s words, Shen Yichen stared at her for a while. Then he took out his phone and made a call.
"Stop the lab you set up the other day for now... Resume time undetermined, I'll notify you when."
After hanging up, Shen Yichen smiled at Shen Hui and asked gently, "What about now?"
Shen Hui did not back down either, she continued to glare at him. "If you don't give me a lab, I'll tell dad and mom to kick Shen Yue out. I won't keep my promise from that day either."
Shen Yichen was shrewd. Yesterday morning, the relationship between Shen Hui and Shen Yue was still clearly hostile. He could only use the lab as leverage to see if he could temporarily ease Shen Hui first. But it had only been a day, and Shen Yichen realized Shen Hui was somehow different now.
Perhaps Shen Hui had not noticed it herself, but her malice towards Shen Yue was already gone. There was only wariness left. Since this was the case, Shen Yichen would naturally no longer be skittish about educating Shen Hui because of Shen Yue.
In Shen Yichen’s eyes, Shen Hui had now fallen to the same level as Shen Wu, becoming a problem child.
Facing Shen Hui’s threat, Shen Yichen did not retreat at all. Instead, he repeated what he had told Shen’s parents at the hospital that day, "I’m the head of the Shen family. Going to dad and mom is useless. And neither do I, nor Shen Yue, owe you anything. Since you are now the seventh child of the Shens, you have to behave. Otherwise, don’t think about getting a lab."
When Shen Shuangyi heard this, he felt vindicated! 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦
Finally someone was articulating what he had always wanted to say! Big brother was his mouthpiece indeed!
But before Shen Shuangyi could enjoy this for long, Shen Yichen swiftly turned his firepower on him. "Number two, your card will be frozen for a month."
Shen Shuangyi was dumbfounded. He could still accept ten days last time, but a whole month was too much! And...
"Big brother, I earned the money on my card myself!"
Shen Yichen looked over and repeated, "So what if you did, aren't you my younger brother?"
Shen Shuangyi gritted his teeth. He squeezed out a word from between them, "Yes."
"Frozen for a month."
"Oh......"
Shen Shuangyi, defeated.
Shen Yichen's gaze then shifted to Shen Jize. "Number four, your card frozen for a month too. And this month, no more reading weird novels with Shen Yue."
Shen Jize was taken aback and felt somewhat wronged, but when he recalled he could still use little Wu's money, he readily agreed.
Next was Shen Wu's turn.
"Copy the 594 things you are not allowed to do, plus the harms of fried and junk food from last time's lines, ten times each. Both your cards confiscated for a month."
Shen Wu and Shen Jize, double defeated.
Then Shen Yue.
"You return to school in a week. I'll have Niu Kaihuai keep an eye on you, no sleeping in class allowed. Will call on you to answer questions every period."
Shen Yue, defeated.
His gaze turned back to Shen Hui. Shen Yichen paused for a bit, but still said, "Since you're family now, I have to be responsible for you like I am for them. I won't build you a lab until you have memorized the family rules."
Upon hearing the word “family”, Shen Hui's heart stirred slightly. But she reacted right away, only disdain was left.
Seeing the people before him, although it felt somewhat dramatic, Shen Yichen couldn’t help but chuckle. At least they were sharing blessings and troubles alike now.
Thinking this, he smiled and said, "Alright, stop standing around, take a look at number three. I have to go rest."
