Chapter 26

Shen Anya had no idea what was going on, why, why her parents were suddenly holding a banquet to announce that she was an adopted daughter! She looked at Shen Jiayan, wondering if her parents had found out about her and Lu Yanshi? But wasn't it better for her to be with Lu Yanshi? The Lu Family was so much better than the Sheng Family!

Shen Anya looked at Zhao Huizhen and then at Shen Jingyao. Everyone was quiet, their faces somber, and no one spoke up for her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Dad, Mom, did I do something wrong? Is it because you don't like me being with Lu Yanshi that you have to announce it..."

Shen Ting'an slammed his hand on the table with a "bang," and said, "What did you say?"

Zhao Huizhen was also shocked. "You're with Lu Yanshi? Shen Anya, how have we taught you? Xiang Lu is your good friend! You know she's engaged to Lu Yanshi, and you actually went and stole your good friend's fiancé!"

Shen Jiayan shrugged. Oh, he'd let it slip. He hadn't told his parents about this; in fact, he hadn't had a chance to.

"You, you... do you know what you're doing!" Shen Ting'an slammed his fist on the table again in anger! He was really angry, so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. Shen Jiayan was so scared that she shrank to the side, not daring to breathe.

This was the second time he had seen Shen Ting'an so angry. The first time was when Shen Xiche ran away to become a trainee, and he was just as angry then, even slapping Shen Xiche. If Shen Anya weren't a girl, he suspected that Shen Ting'an would have slapped her across the face by now.

"How could our Shen Family raise a daughter like you! No, you're not even a member of the Shen Family!" Shen Ting'an was so angry she was incoherent. "You break up with him right now! Otherwise, not only will you not be a member of the Shen Family, but our Shen Family can't afford to lose face like you!"

"Dad!"

"Don't call me Dad! Don't call me Dad until you break up with Lu Yanshi! I don't have a daughter like you!"

"Dad..." Shen Anya wanted to say something more.

"Get out! Go back to your room! I don't want to see you right now! Go back to your room and reflect on your actions!" Shen Ting'an's chest heaved with anger. Just as he stood up, everything suddenly went black.

"Dad!!!"

The family rushed Shen Ting'an to the hospital for a check-up. Of course, Shen Anya didn't come, unless she wanted to upset Shen Ting'an again!

Fortunately, the examination revealed it was just a case of anger and shock, and nothing serious.

Although there was nothing seriously wrong, the Doctor still prescribed an IV drip for Shen Ting'an to finish and calm down before going home.

Looking at Shen Ting'an lying on the hospital bed, with an IV drip in his hand and his eyes closed in rest.

For the first time, Shen Jiayan felt a lingering fear. This was the first time he had seen Shen Ting'an faint, and the first time he had truly felt that the man who was once as majestic as a mountain was no longer young, and that there were times when he could not bear it.

He didn't even dare to think about what would happen to this family if something really happened to Shen Ting'an!

When Shen Jingyao returned after paying the fees, this was the scene he saw: his younger brother and sister standing by the hospital bed, their faces full of worry as they looked at their father lying on the bed.

The mother, sitting beside the hospital bed, didn't look much better either.

"You two kids, why don't you go back to sleep? It's getting late," Shen Jingyao said. "Mom and I can watch over things here."

"Listen to Jingyao, Jia Yan and Luoluo, you should go back first. We don't know how long this IV drip will last." Shen Ting'an woke up at some point and was also urging the two to go back.

The tension that had been hanging in the air finally eased.

Shen Jiayan replied without hesitation, "Tomorrow is Saturday."

It means there are no classes, so it's okay to stay up late; you can stay.

Shen Luoluo blinked. [Hey, tomorrow's Saturday! Can I still go to the Zhou Family's eldest daughter's wedding?]

The four people in the ward looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter in unison.

Why did they suddenly laugh? What are they laughing at?

Zhao Huizhen was already familiar with this kind of situation. She calmly teased, "I didn't expect Jia Yan to know how to care for others! Not bad, not bad, you've grown up!"

Shen Jiayan:...

Alright, alright! You're using him as a shield again, aren't you!

So that's how it is. Shen Luoluo laughed too. [She's really grown up. She even cried today!] Although she was annoyed by her, it was also because she was worried about her.

Shen Jiayan:!!!

The remaining three all looked at Shen Jiayan, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief!

Really? Zhao Huizhen remembered that Shen Jiayan hadn't cried since the third grade of elementary school. He didn't even cry when he lost a fight, but today he actually cried in front of his sister. Tsk tsk!

Shen Jiayan:...

Can't you at least give him some face?

After laughing, Zhao Huizhen casually reminded them, "Are you sure you don't want to go back to sleep earlier? You have to attend the Zhou Family's wedding tomorrow, it's going to be tiring!"

[No, no, no, it's not tiring at all, it's so much fun!]

The group exchanged glances and smiled again.

Chapter 26

◎Handing the room key to my father-in-law◎

The story of the real and fake heiresses, a plot straight out of a novel, actually happened in our lives. With the real heiress getting involved, it sparked heated discussions, and the post remained a hot topic, consistently ranking on the front page of the forum throughout the day.

Shen Anya naturally saw this big incident as well. Her hand holding the phone trembled, and her whole body felt cold. She hadn't expected Shen Jiayan to personally step in to explain. The wording was clearly not Shen Jiayan's style; it was her older brother's handwriting! Now, before the banquet even started, the entire school knew that she was a fake heiress!

She could even imagine the gossip and ridicule she would face when she went to school on Monday! Ridiculous that she wasn't a daughter of the Shen Family, that she had no money, no status, and no position.

"How could this happen?!" Shen Anya could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs, tears streaming down her face. This wasn't how it was supposed to be; it wasn't like the dream she had. It shouldn't be like this. What happened to her Koi Luck? Wasn't she supposed to have Koi Luck?! Why didn't it work? Why did it turn out like this?!

167L: Shen Anya, isn't that the one who was hooking up with her best friend's fiancé on the rooftop?! No wonder she was so skilled, she's a habitual thief! Stealing someone's identity and even her boyfriend! What a weirdo!
