Chapter 95 - Using Her To Protect The Both Of Them
Shen Shanghua sat up and berated her agitatedly, "You obviously knew… you knew that Fanxing has just broken up with Su Heng! As for Qianrou, she can like anyone she wants. Why does it have to be Su Heng? Fanxing"s fiance hooked up with her own sister, how could she be understanding about this?"
"Not only did you not comfort her, but you even want to use her to protect the two of them. You… you…" He coughed badly due to agitation.
Shen Shanghua was obviously enraged and the more he spoke, the more his heart ached for Shen Fanxing.
"Su Heng"s heart isn"t with her. It"s a matter of time before he becomes our son-in-law. Fanxing will have to face this sooner or later. Qianrou is her younger sister and Su Heng will be her brother-in-law. The outcome has been decided. So what if I make this decision or not? I"m her grandmother. I"ll give her a hand since she can"t put the matter behind her! I"m not afraid of being the bad guy!"
"You…"
"Alright! You need to get some rest. Don"t bother with anything!"
Jiang Rongrong interrupted Shen Shanghua forcefully before he could protest any longer. She then turned on her heel and left the room swiftly.
Shen Fanxing didn"t linger in the house and strode to the main door.
"Sister, hold on."
Shen Qianrou"s voice sounded from behind. Shen Fanxing didn"t halt and stepped out of the iron gates.
An old locust tree stood at the entrance of the Shen Family mansion.
When Shen Fanxing pa.s.sed by the tree, Shen Qianrou caught up with her and blocked her path.
Her vulnerable and meek facade had vanished.
Her lips curled with contempt as she studied Shen Fanxing.
"Sister, why are you in such a hurry to leave? It"s rare for you to make a trip back home."
She emphasized the word "home".
Shen Fanxing narrowed her eyes as she turned forbidding and icy.
"Are you feeling a sense of accomplishment by flaunting how you have stolen from me?
"Sister, what are you talking about? The Shen family is right here. You can come back anytime you want. n.o.body will stop you. Don"t worry, I won"t be staying here for long…"
Shen Qianrou paused before chuckling softly.
"After the event on Friday, Daddy will arrange for our family to have a meal with Uncle and Aunt Su. We will also fix our wedding date on that day, so you don"t have to be wary of me in future. I"ll be marrying into the Su family soon and I won"t be staying long in this family…"
Her words stabbed Shen Fanxing in her heart.
They are fixing a date for the wedding?
Was she that eager?
Indeed…
How wonderful…
Despite her knowing that it was impossible between her and Su Heng, she couldn"t be totally indifferent.
Su Heng was after all, the man she had once thought that she would entrust the rest of her life to.
Even so, Shen Fanxing"s expression remained impa.s.sive and composed.
Really, it wasn"t that difficult to bear anymore.
She knew that it would take time for her to get over and forget the eight years of relations.h.i.+p.
But really… she didn"t find it as difficult as she had imagined.
"If you"re done showing off, can you move away?"
Shen Qianrou"s eyes gleamed. Shen Fanxing"s nonchalant expression and reaction had infuriated her.
She did not budge, so Shen Fanxing pushed her aside.
Shen Qianrou stumbled and managed to grab hold of a tree branch in time.
She gnashed her teeth and hissed, "Do you know why Grandma wants you to attend the event?"
Shen Qianrou scrambled after Shen Fanxing again and stood in front of her.
Shen Fanxing frowned and gave her a piercing look.
"That"s because my relations.h.i.+p with Brother Heng hasn"t been announced.. So we can"t be exposed to the media. That"s why Grandma suggested that you should attend together with us! With my sister appearing together with my fiancée and me, my relations.h.i.+p with Brother Heng will not be exposed!"
