Chapter 78:1 Misjudged You Before

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Yan was caught off guard, apparently not expecting her own brother to step in so directly, especially in front of Shen Wan!

“Brother?! You’re biased!”

Shen Qian remained composed, asking, “Who taught you those things?”

“Speak up!”

Shen Yan trembled under his stern voice. “Why are you scolding me? Did 1 say something wrong?”

“Before you open your mouth, think carefully about what you should say and what you shouldn’t. You are the Second Lady of the Shen family, don’t lose your manners and dignity,” he replied with impeccable manners, his tone calm and collected. However, his words hit Shen Yan harder than any scolding, making her feel embarrassed.

“Brother…” She murmured, her lips quivering, her face showing remorse.

With a softer tone, Shen Qian asked, “Do you understand your mistake?”

“Yes.”

“Go then, call Mother downstairs for dinner.”

Shen Yan lowered her head and went upstairs without looking at Shen Wan again.

Shen Qian, on the other hand, descended the stairs and approached Shen Wan directly, his gaze sharp. “Why did you deliberately provoke Ah Yan?” “Deliberately?” Shen Wan chuckled lightly. “Wasn’t she provoking me first?”

His intense eyes narrowed as he moved a step closer, leaving only a fist’s distance between them. Their breaths were practically mingling. “It seems you have quite a sharp tongue.”

His gaze lingered on the girl’s rosy lips, momentarily cloudy and unreadable.

“That’s also thanks to someone eager to play the role of a whetstone.” Shen Wan met his gaze fearlessly, unflinchingly sizing him up.

Their eyes locked, and sparks of tension crackled between them.

One cold, the other calm.

The air seemed to stand still, and after a while, a wry smile escaped the man’s lips. “It seems I misunderstood you before…”

Shen Wan remained composed.

“Don’t get too close to He Huai. You two…aren’t suitable.” With these cryptic words, the man turned and walked toward the dining room.

Shen Wan returned to her room, organized her “spoils”, washed her face, changed into different clothes, and then descended the stairs at a leisurely pace.

After dinner, Shen Chunjiang gathered everyone in the living room. As the patriarch was absent, he held absolute authority in this matter.

“In two days, we have the anniversary celebration banquet, and 1 plan for All Qian and Wan Wan to perform the opening act.”

The term “opening act” referred to the opening dance performance typically performed by the hosts or a pair of individuals, such as the previous year when Shen Yan invited Qi Jia’s young master, Qi Ziehen, to perform the opening dance together.

Of course, not everyone had this privilege. Usually, it was Shen Chunjiang and Yang Lan who performed the opening dance. Shen Yan received this honor when she turned eighteen, and the Shen family used the opportunity to introduce her to everyone. Since then, Shen Yan had officially entered Ning City’s upper-class social circle as a socialite.

However, today, Shen Chunjiang had unexpectedly chosen Shen Wan to open the ceremony. What was even more surprising was that he had also pushed Shen Qian onto the stage, indicating his intention to protect and support them.

“I disagree!” Yang Lan was the first to oppose, her well-maintained face clouded with darkness, as if a storm were about to break loose at any moment.

“Dad! How could you let her open the ceremony?!” This was Shen Yan.

“Does Grandfather know about this decision?” Shen Ru, as expected, went straight to the point.

Shen Chunjiang’s face turned extremely unsightly; none of them seemed to regard him seriously!

Shen Qian remained silent.

Shen Wan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, more composed than anyone present. She observed with tranquility, unaffected by the winds blowing from all directions.

“Dad, Wan Wan’s status…” Shen Ru hesitated and spoke softly, “I don’t mean to look down on her in any way, but this banquet is of great significance. 1 hope you can reconsider it very seriously..”
