Chapter 33

Shen Xiche turned his phone toward Zhao Yuan. She glanced at the message from Shen Anya, who said she had something important to discuss with him and asked if he could come back.

"Suit yourself." Zhao Yuan acted as though she hadn't seen it and went back to choosing dishes from the menu.

Zhao Yuan hadn't forgotten Shen Anya. She had left her out on purpose. The first time she saw Shen Luoluo and Shen Anya together, she could tell they didn't get along. Since she wanted to treat Luoluo to a meal, she wasn't about to bring Shen Anya along to make things awkward and upset her.

Besides, she was an outsider. She didn't have to spend every day with Shen Anya, so she had no need to maintain their relationship or go out of her way to be nice to anyone. She could invite whoever she wanted.

As for Shen Xiche, she had no right to stop him. Whether he stayed or left was his choice.

Shen Xiche understood what she meant. Now that he was here, he couldn't just get up and leave. He only found it strange that he had forgotten Shen Anya.

Wasn't she the sister he was closest to?

"Hey, could you hurry up? Why are you taking forever just to order?" Shen Jiayan was already annoyed that Shen Xiche had tagged along, forcing them to give up the restaurant he wanted to visit.

And Shen Xiche seemed to be doing it on purpose, turning the pages of the menu at a leisurely pace without ordering a thing just to get on his nerves.

"Shen. Xi. Che!" Shen Jiayan forced each word out through gritted teeth.

The atmosphere at the table grew tense.

Shen Luoluo looked back and forth between the brothers, curious. Do these two really get along that badly? Why?

Let me see—

Shen Jiayan looked horrified. "Don't... mmph!" Before he could finish, Zhao Yuan stuffed a pastry into his mouth.

Zhao Yuan gave him a wicked grin. Sorry, but his aunt wanted to hear the gossip.

Shen Xiche didn't mind. He wasn't the one who would be embarrassed. Besides, he wanted to find out whether Shen Luoluo's information was accurate.

Shen Luoluo stared intently at the text in the system, oblivious to their reactions.

When Shen Xiche was one, he broke a glass at home, and Shen Jiayan took the blame.

When he was three, Shen Xiche knocked over an entire box of Zhao Huizhen's expensive jewelry. Shen Jiayan took the blame for that too, and even got beaten.

When he was six, Shen Xiche tricked him out of all his pocket money!

When he was seven, Shen Xiche talked him into wearing a girl's dress and took photos to preserve the evidence!

When he was fourteen, the first girl he ever liked had a crush on Shen Xiche and declared that she was going to marry him.

When he was fifteen...

That's right. Shen Xiche nodded along with every offense Shen Luoluo listed.

Her information was accurate.

As Shen Luoluo read through Shen Xiche's offenses, she finally understood why Shen Jiayan disliked him so much. Shen Xiche was awful!

Huh? Did I miss something? There's more from when they were babies?

Shen Xiche's eyes widened. His lips parted, but it was too late. Shen Luoluo's voice rang through their heads—

Shen Xiche wet the bed, then carried the infant Shen Jiayan onto it to hide the evidence...

"Pfft, hahahaha—" Before Shen Luoluo could finish reading, Zhao Yuan burst out laughing. If she remembered correctly, the brothers were seven years apart. That meant Shen Xiche had still been wetting the bed in first grade!

He'd been that old and still wet the bed!

No one was happier than Shen Jiayan. Now he had one more thing to hold over Shen Xiche!

Zhao Yuan's laughter pulled Shen Luoluo out of her thoughts. What's Auntie laughing at?

Why is Second Brother's face so red?

Still laughing, Zhao Yuan said, "Jia Yan looks pretty cute eating that pastry."

Shen Jiayan: ...

"Xi Che, did you spot a beautiful woman? Why is your face so red?"

Shen Xiche: ...

He never should have come to this meal!

"Well, well. I was wondering who this beauty was. It's Zhao Yuan!" As they ate, a man's voice suddenly cut in.

He seemed thrilled to see Zhao Yuan. "Isn't today your engagement day? How do you have time to eat here?"

"Oh, don't tell me. Let me guess. You're eating here instead of getting engaged at the hotel... Don't tell me Chen Yuchuan called off the engagement!"

Everyone could hear that he had come looking for trouble. They immediately went on guard.

Zhao Yuan knew who it was without looking up. She was about to fire back when she heard Shen Luoluo's voice—

Oh, it's just a guy who can't handle rejection. He used to pursue Zhao Yuan, and when she turned him down, he held a grudge. He went around school bad-mouthing her and spreading rumors until he got beaten up. Now that he sees she isn't getting engaged, he's come over to make a scene!

What an idiot!

Wait, there's gossip about this guy. Let me see—

Shen Jiayan and Shen Xiche immediately pricked up their ears.

Zhao Yuan was in no hurry now. She took a leisurely sip of red wine and smiled at the man before her.

The woman in front of him was graceful and alluring, and Sun Nan's heart began to race against his will. Sure enough, seeing someone he had once liked still made his heart flutter! But something about that smile sent a chill down his spine, even though Zhao Yuan was clearly smiling.

Found it!

Oh, this is interesting. This man's wife is actually his father's mistress! His own father made a cuckold of him?

Shen Jiayan and Shen Xiche's eyes widened in shock.

Shen Jiayan had heard his share of gossip through Shen Luoluo by now, but this still shook him. A son's wife was his father's mistress!

Zhao Yuan, however, noticed that Sun Nan's expression hadn't changed. He apparently couldn't hear Shen Luoluo's thoughts!

At the hospital that day, she, Zhao Huizhen, and Zhao Huizhen's husband had confirmed it: only people above a certain level of wealth could hear Shen Luoluo's thoughts.
