“Xiao Yan, do you know what you’re talking about?” Shen Qian pushed the door open and entered, his gaze calm.

“Brother?”

“You’ve recently had a fever, and your thoughts might still be a bit muddled. It’s natural for dreams and reality to blur in such a situation.”

Yang Lan hesitated.

Did Shen Wan have the courage for something like this?

Even if she did, how could she hide it? How could she let Xiao Yan know about it?

Was it because she had restless sleep due to illness, had a few nightmares, and hadn’t recovered yet?

Shen Yan saw Yang Lan’s hesitation in her eyes, and her heart was filled with despair.

Who would believe it?

No one would believe it!

Her gaze swept over Yang Lan and landed on Shen Qian’s face. Even her own mother and brother were like this, what about others?

Shen Yan smiled bitterly as if all her strength had been drained, and she slumped at the head of the bed.

She gave up, and surrendered.

“Xiao Yan!” Yang Lan rushed over, looking anxious. She checked her temperature again, and placed a pillow behind her, “Are you feeling dizzy? Do you need to take another pill?”

Shen Yan didn’t answer, her gaze vacant. Even though her family was right beside her, she felt completely isolated.

Yang Lan called out a few times, but her daughter didn’t respond. She looked at Shen Qian for help, “What’s wrong with my daughter?”

“Mom, please go pour a glass of water and let me talk to Xiao Yan alone.”

“This…”

“Go ahead; nothing will happen.” Shen Qian handed her the empty glass with a firm, unyielding gesture.

Yang Lan accepted it, held it in her hand, and eventually walked away while glancing back three times hesitantly.

“Xiao Yan, you’ve worried your mother.”

She turned her head away, giving Shen Qian a cold profile.

“I know you feel wronged.”

“Know?” Shen Yan turned back and coldly stared at him, “Anyone can say such words, just for the sake of sounding nice.”

“I advised you not to confront her directly, to avoid conflicts as much as possible. Why didn’t you listen?”

“You’re saying all this just to protect that wretched woman.” A sarcastic smile crept up her lips. “Shen Wan is really something. Brother Qi stood up for her, and you’re scheming for her. But does she know? Does she appreciate it? You and all the others are just convenient tools for her, and when you no longer serve any purpose, she will discard you mercilessly.”

Shen Qian’s expression darkened slightly. “It seems the lesson hasn’t been profound enough to make you learn.”

Shen Yan’s neck shrank as she remembered the scene from yesterday when Shen Wan grabbed her by the hair and slammed her onto the table. She couldn’t help but shudder.

And Shen Qian’s stern words and lack of smiles were the final straw on the camel’s back.

She buried her head in her hands, breaking into tears. “You already suspected that Shen Wan did something to me, and yet you still want to cover for her. Why shouldn’t I confront her? Why should I avoid conflicts? I am the true young lady of the Shen family! What is she? And you, my own brother, are still helping her!”

The man’s voice deepened, “I don’t know the details of what happened, and I’m not defending anyone.”

“Well then, since you don’t know, I’ll tell you exactly what happened. Shen Wan seduced Qi Ziehen, and they were getting intimate in the dining room. I caught them in the act, and she threatened and attacked me mercilessly!”

Shen Qian’s eyelid twitched.

“Brother, you’re so clever, and I can never escape your scrutiny whenever I lie. So, now tell me, do you believe what I just said?”

“It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not.” The man’s eyes were deep and seemed to hold a vast spectrum of experiences, both positive and negative, right and wrong. “What’s crucial is that you confronted her, but couldn’t outwit her. You still haven’t learned from your mistakes, even though it’s happened more than once.”

Shen Yan widened her eyes in disbelief. “You knew all along?!”

“What difference does it make if I knew or not?” Shen Qian stood by the bed, looking down at her with coldness in his eyes. “Before you learn to provoke others, make sure you are strong enough, or else, you deserve to get bullied.”

“Hey, Ah Qian?” Yang Lan came upstairs with a glass of warm water and ran into Shen Qian halfway.

“I’m heading to the office, Mom.”

“What about your sister…”

“She’s fine now.”

Yang Lan assumed he was comforting her and nodded casually, “Alright, you go ahead. I’ll go upstairs to check on her.”

“Okay.”

As Yang Lan entered the room, Shen Yan turned her head and smiled at her, “Mom.”

“Xiao Yan, are you… better now?”

A shadow briefly crossed Shen Yan’s face, and in a moment, it was replaced by a meek and obedient expression. “I’m sorry, Mom. I was being stubborn earlier..”
