Shen Banxia headed downstairs in high spirits, her ridiculous face black with a flush of red.
The Shen Family brothers who had returned first heard the movement and turned toward the stairs.
The next second, they involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath, all struck by the same thought-
This was their biological sister?
Was this a genetic mutation, or had things gone so far in one direction that they had swung to the opposite extreme?
Seeing her brothers' reactions, Shen Banxia was thoroughly pleased with her makeup skills.
Sure enough, she either did nothing or shook the world when she made her move.
Shen Shuyi was not surprised by her sons' reactions. After all, she had been just as shocked when she first saw her daughter. They would get used to it.
"Banxia, come over to Mommy," Shen Shuyi called gently.
Once her daughter reached her side, Shen Shuyi took her hand, intending to introduce the sons who had returned first to her biological daughter.
Before their mother could speak, the sixth brother, Shen Qingfeng, asked anxiously,
"Mom, what about Mingyue? Are we sending her back to the countryside?
"She's been pampered in our family for over a decade. How could she endure that kind of hardship?"
Shen Banxia looked at this youngest brother, who still had a trace of childishness about him, and thought speechlessly,
We're even twins, yet he didn't know his own sister had been switched. And he still has time to worry about an outsider. Who needs such a useless brother?
Shen Qingfeng looked puzzled. He had just heard someone insulting him, but before he could figure out what was happening, he heard their third brother, Shen Shenxing, reply,
"It's just another pair of chopsticks at the table. It's not like we can't afford to support her. Why send her back?"
Shen Banxia turned to look at her third brother, Shen Shenxing, with his neat buzz cut.
The smartest of my brothers. Too bad a car accident leaves him lame and blind, completely changes his temperament, and sends him down a crooked path. Naturally, he ends up behind bars, working a sewing machine.
The phone in Shen Shenxing's hand suddenly slipped without warning and landed on his foot. He cried out in pain and jumped up.
Their second brother, Shen Jinyan, immediately laughed at his misfortune.
"You can't have any ideas about Mingyue, little brother. She's still our sister, even if we aren't related by blood."
Shen Banxia looked at her second brother, Shen Jinyan, dressed so gaudily that anyone who didn't know better might mistake him for a top male escort.
My second brother has a vicious tongue and seems to think with his dick. Serves him right that he gets set up and ends up screwing himself to death.
Shen Jinyan turned to Shen Banxia, his eyes wide. He wanted to demand, "Who are you saying screws himself to death?" but no sound came out.
Shen Shenxing recovered his senses and snapped at his second brother,
"Number Two, is there a hole in your head? What nonsense are you spouting?"
"How many times have I told you to call me Second Brother?"
Shen Shenxing simply rolled his eyes at him. He had only been born three minutes earlier. Why act like such a big brother?
That was right-the second and third brothers were also twins. This pair, however, couldn't stand each other, and neither would give in to the other.
Only their fifth brother, Shen Zhishan, showed any brotherly concern and took the initiative to ask,
"Third Brother, is your foot okay? Don't buy such flashy phones next time. They're bulky and awkward to use."
Shen Banxia couldn't help laughing.
My fifth brother has such low emotional intelligence, but he's also the kindest. Unfortunately, good people die young. He dies first.
Their sixth brother, Shen Qingfeng, looked at Banxia and asked in confusion,
"What are you laughing at?"
He kept feeling that there was something strange about this sister. Especially since he had clearly heard her complaints just now without seeing her open her mouth. That made it even eerier.
Still smiling, Shen Banxia met her sixth brother's gaze without answering.
So slow on the uptake. No wonder he dies without ever realizing someone killed him.
Shen Qingfeng's expression changed at once. Even if the first time had been a hallucination, this was the second time he had heard her. He was about to ask what was going on when his second brother patted his shoulder.
"Sixth Brother, let's go to the bathroom."
"Just go yourself, Third Brother. I don't need to," Shen Qingfeng said, waving a hand, his gaze still fixed on Shen Banxia's face.
"We're going together." Shen Jinyan pulled their fifth brother along.
And so the four brothers inexplicably decided to go to the bathroom together. Even Shen Shuyi turned to look at them in bewilderment. She had never seen them get along so well before.
The four brothers left the living room and stood outside the bathroom, exchanging looks. None of them went inside. Finally, Shen Shenxing spoke first.
"Did you hear any strange voices just now?"
"I thought I was hearing things. So everyone heard it!" Shen Qingfeng looked as though he had finally seen the light.
"Sixth Brother, what did you hear?" They all turned toward their most guileless brother.
"Our seventh sister said-didn't you all hear it? Why are you asking me?"
"We want to confirm whether we were hearing things," Shen Shenxing said, fishing for an answer.
"She complained that we're twins, yet I didn't even know she'd been switched, and said she didn't want me as her sixth brother anymore. What about you?"
"I-heard the same thing you did!" Shen Jinyan refused to admit that he thought with his dick, so he simply played dumb.
"If I'm not mistaken, what Second Brother heard from our seventh sister touched a sore spot, and he's too embarrassed to admit it," Shen Shenxing said, enjoying the drama.
The thoughts he had heard were about himself, and clearly differed from what their sixth brother had described. If his guess was right, their second brother must also have heard their seventh sister's assessment of him and his eventual fate.
"Of course not!" Shen Jinyan replied with a dry laugh, determined to deny it to the bitter end.
"Second Brother, Fourth Brother, what did our seventh sister say about you?" Shen Zhishan asked curiously.
Only their sixth brother stared at them with a clueless expression. Had everyone heard something different from him?
"Our seventh sister praised me for being smart!" Shen Shenxing boasted smugly.
"That's all?" The disbelief was obvious.
"Isn't that enough? My IQ has always been the highest out of all of us."
"You're also the most full of yourself," Shen Jinyan retorted.
Then he fell into thought over those words he had heard about screwing himself to death.
"It looks like we can all hear our seventh sister's thoughts, but only the ones about ourselves. We can't hear what she thinks about anyone else," Shen Shenxing concluded.
"Good thing I'm not the only one who can hear her. Otherwise, I'd have thought something was wrong with my ears," Shen Zhishan said, rubbing his ears. It all felt unbelievable.
"Why does this feel like a superpower? It's kind of cool!" Shen Qingfeng exclaimed.
The next second, his brothers glared at him. Had he said something wrong?
"Looks like this girl is up to no good. We should all be careful, watch her for a while, and figure out her background and intentions.
"And until we get to the bottom of this, none of us is to tell anyone about it.
"Especially you, Qingfeng. Don't tell Mingyue!" Shen Shenxing instructed solemnly.
"Why can't I tell Mingyue?" Shen Qingfeng had barely finished asking when his brothers glared at him again. In the end, he could only nod awkwardly and agree.
After conferring, the brothers returned to the living room. They had barely sat down when they heard Shen Banxia suggest to their mother,
"I know it's hard for my brothers to accept a little sister who's suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Honestly, I can't adjust to this sudden change either.
"Why don't we just pretend the babies were never switched, and that Mingyue is still your biological daughter?
"I'll go back to my old home and carry on living there."
