She kept calling him "Mom," crying and sobbing, making Zhao Huizhen's head throb. She tried to say something but was interrupted again.

"Mom, I'll listen to you from now on. If you tell me to break up, I'll break up. If you tell me to do something, I'll do it. Please, don't send me away. I don't want to leave you." She cried, stood up from the bed, and was about to kneel down.

Zhao Huizhen felt a sharp pain in her head, but her actions were faster than her thoughts. She steadied the woman, saying, "Who said we were going to send you away?"

Shen Ting'an didn't realize there was anything wrong with his words, and he continued Zhao Huizhen's sentence, "Who told you we were going to send you away? That's nonsense! When I said I wouldn't let you call me Dad, it was just in anger. We never intended to send you away."

Only Shen Jingyao paused for a moment, then watched the couple without showing any emotion.

Shen Anya was also taken aback, and tentatively asked, "But didn't you send my older brother to investigate my biological parents so you could send me back?"

"You were raised by us. Even if you're not our biological child, you're still a daughter of the Shen Family. How could we possibly send you back?" Zhao Huizhen frowned and looked at Shen Jingyao. "Jingyao, do we have any?"

Shen Ting'an: "Where did you hear that? Impossible. Your mother and I have never said anything like that. Who is so malicious as to spread such rumors?" He also looked at Shen Jingyao, "Jingyao, did we say we were going to investigate Anya's biological parents? Were we going to send her away?"

Shen Jingyao felt a sense of déjà vu about this scene. He remembered that when he first recognized Luoluo, Shen Anya had cried in front of Shen Ting'a Zhao Huizhen in the same way. He glanced at Shen Anya, his expression self-assured, and replied, "No, I wanted to investigate it myself."

Shen Anya looked at Shen Jingyao in astonishment. If it wasn't her parents who asked Shen Jingyao to investigate, then did Shen Jingyao want to investigate himself?

Why? Is it because he's closer to Shen Luoluo, and he likes Shen Luoluo more?

That makes sense. After all, he would buy Shen Luoluo roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts, and he would also give Shen Luoluo Black Card with unlimited credit, while she wouldn't even dare to say more than a few words to him. She didn't know why, but she had never been close to Shen Jingyao since she was little, and she was afraid of him. Whenever she saw Shen Jingyao, she would subconsciously want to avoid him.

So the person who really wanted to get rid of her was actually him?

"Big brother," Shen Anya's voice was soft and tearful, "Why? Did I do something wrong...?"

Shen Jingyao glanced at her, and Shen Anya swallowed the rest of her words in fright.

"Jingyao." Shen Ting'an's face darkened. "What are you doing? Anya is your sister. What's with that look? Why are you investigating such trivial matters!"

"It's not unimportant, I'm just doing what I should do." Shen Jingyao looked at Zhao Huizhen, "Mom, where's Luoluo? Where are they now that you're back?"

"It was too late, they were all asleep in their rooms, so I didn't call them and came over by myself." Zhao Huizhen's expression softened when she mentioned Shen Luoluo.

"Don't worry, Zhao Yuan will bring them back tomorrow."

"So they're still at the Villa?" Shen Jingyao roughly understood what was going on.

"Alright, Jingyao, stop changing the subject. No matter what you did before, from now on, you're not allowed to investigate anymore," Shen Ting'an said.

Shen Jingyao knew that there was no point in saying anything more at this point, so he replied, "Okay."

When Shen Luoluo woke up the next morning and saw Zhao Yuan, she learned that Zhao Huizhen had gone home the night before because Shen Anya had been admitted to the hospital.

After finishing their breakfast and packing their things, it was time for them to head back.

"The rest of us won't go home; we'll head straight back to the production crew." Before leaving, Shen Xiche said goodbye to them, indicating that they were going directly back to the production crew.

"Little rascal, remember to come visit us sometime!" Before leaving, he gave Shen Luoluo's head a gentle ruffle.

"I know, you've messed up my hair!" Shen Luoluo complained, smoothing her tangled hair. Her older brother was much gentler.

And so the group split into two groups and left the eerie Villa.

Zhao Yuan safely escorted Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan to their doorstep. Without even going inside, she greeted them and hurriedly left again, seemingly without knowing where she was going.

"Sister, Jia Yan, you're back?" Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan were startled by Shen Anya's sweet, cloying voice as soon as they entered the door.

Is she sick and has her brain damaged? Why is she suddenly so enthusiastic?

Shen Jiayan also frowned with disgust; indeed, their enthusiasm gave him goosebumps.

Zhao Huizhen was simmering soup in the kitchen when she heard their voices. She came out of the kitchen and said, "Luoluo, Jia Yan, you're back? Wait a little longer, the soup will be ready and we can eat."

"Did you have fun yesterday, sister?" Shen Anya asked with a smile.

Shen Luoluo was now even more certain that she was sick and had suffered brain damage from a fever. Since returning to the Shen Family, this was the first time this person had spoken to her on her own initiative, as if she had taken the wrong medicine.

"It's alright," Shen Luoluo replied perfunctorily.

Shen Anya: "I'm so envious, I want to go too."

[Then you can keep thinking about it.]

"Pfft--" Shen Jiayan was struggling to suppress her laughter.

"Sister, let's go together next time, with Mom and Dad, Jia Yan, and our eldest and second eldest brothers! Let's go as a family!"

Shen Luoluo didn't want to answer her question. Just then, she saw Zhao Huizhen carrying a thermal lunchbox out of the kitchen. She glanced at the time and then at the doorway.

Then he placed the insulated box on the table and instructed them, "When the driver comes later, give this to him. It contains Chicken Soup that I just made. Have him take it to Jingyao."

Shen Luoluo's eyes lit up. "Mom, I'll take it over." She didn't want to watch Shen Anya's pretentious act here anyway.

Zhao Huizhen smiled slightly. She was naturally happy that her younger sister was willing to care about her brother. "That's fine, but we need to eat now."

Shen Luoluo replied without hesitation, "It's okay, we just ate at the hotel, I'm not hungry now, we can eat when we get back."

"Alright then, come back as soon as you're done delivering, we'll save some food for you."
