My Genius Sister is Only Seven!?

Chapter 23: Telling the Truth

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Xue couldn’t believe her ears. Did Grandpa Shen Yan order her to be barred from the old residence?

One must know that her parents had always praised her for being able to gain the affection of the people at Shen family’s old residence and to be able to enter and leave the Shen family’s old residence as she pleased.

If her mother found out that she was banned by Shen Yan from entering the old residence, she would surely be beaten when she returned home.

“Dad, tell me quickly, what’s going on?” Second Aunt was unusually gentle and kind, but even she got a little anxious.

Shen Xu looked at his mother in puzzlement. Since when did his mother become so quick-tempered?

Shen Yan sighed deeply and recounted the reaction of the bodyguard that day.

At first, he was also curious why Shen Yu ignored Shen Xue for no apparent reason, to the point that he didn’t even want to see her.

After he had learned what happened, he could not help but get furious.

He even felt a little ashamed. He thought that all Shen family members knew to treat people with sincerity and integrity. Why was Shen Xue so different?

“This child, how could she be so cunning?” After Third Aunt heard the full story, she could not believe it either.

Shen Xue was only nine years old, and her ploy went so deep that it made even an adult like her shudder.

Third Aunt looked at Shen Nan beside her and warned, “I’m telling you, stay away from Shen Xue in the future. Don’t be so stupid not even knowing that you’ve been betrayed.”

“I, I didn’t. I really saw…”

“What did you see? Did you forget that you rushed over together with Shen Yu and the bodyguards after hearing the sound?”

Shen Xue wanted to argue, but was mercilessly interrupted by Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was extremely disappointed. Even now, Shen Xue still refused to admit her wrongdoing.

“I…”

Shen Xue could no longer find an excuse.

She didn’t expect Shen Yan to expose her so mercilessly.

“At such a young age, you’re already planning such appalling schemes. I think it’s better for your parents to take you back home and discipline you properly. In the future, it’s better for you not to come to the Shen family’s old residence.” Old Lady Shen’s face was also filled with anger.

After hearing what Shen Yan said, all she felt was anger.

To think that she used to quite like this child. She did not expect that Shen Xue would actually do such a thing.

“Third Brother, why? I feel that Sister Shen Xue did not say anything wrong.”

Shen Nan was the youngest there, so he naturally couldn’t understand what Shen Yan said. “Shen Xue only said that she saw something, but wasn’t she interrupted by Fifth Brother before she could finish?”

Shen Xu looked at Shen Nan as if he was looking at an idiot.

“How can you be so stupid? Does what Shen Xue said even matter anymore?”

Shen Nan was even more puzzled by Shen Xu’s answer.

Shen Hao shook his head helplessly. It was almost impossible to expect Shen Xu to explain this fully, but Shen Nan was only nine years old. How could he understand all of the little details of the incident?

“Shen Nan, Shen Xue clearly went out with Fifth Brother and didn’t see what happened. Yet when everyone was blaming Emi, she came out and said that she saw something. Isn’t that telling everyone that Emi was lying?”

“But, didn’t Sister Shen Xue not finish her sentence?”

Shen Hao smiled awkwardly. Shen Nan was really too sheltered. He couldn’t even understand something so simple.

Shen Yan snorted coldly and looked at Shen Nan with a disappointed expression.

Shen Nan did not know what had made Shen Yan so unhappy, he quickly went behind Shen Hao to hide from his furious grandfather.

“You foolish boy. Shen Xue just said a few words to you and you think that your Fifth Brother bullied Shen Xue because of Emi? Under the circumstance where Emi was being accused, she came out and lied to everyone, and acted like she was hesitant to tell the truth. What do you think the villagers would think?”

Third Aunt looked at Shen Nan in dissatisfaction. Why did she give birth to such a dumb kid?

Shen Nan fell deep into thought. What would the villagers think?

The villagers would think that Emily was a bully, and that even Shen Xue witnessed it. But it turned out that it really wasn’t true.

So… Shen Xue did it on purpose then.

After thinking this through, Shen Nan looked at Shen Xue in disbelief.

“Sister Shen Xue, how could you…”

How could you do something so shameless?

Shen Nan didn’t finish his sentence because he felt that he still had to leave some dignity for a girl like Shen Xue.

But Shen Xue saw Shen Nan’s gaze, it was clearly filled with disdain.

Shen Xue was so anxious that she was about to cry. Now that Shen Nan was not on her side, no one in the Shen family liked her anymore. She wouldn’t be able to come to the Shen family’s old residence in the future.
