Shen Xi then said slowly, "Dad, Mom, don't ask anymore. My brother is embarrassed."
Sitting next to her, Fu Qingxuan's eyes darkened and he felt jealous. 'She has so many brothers. They're everywhere!'
Shen Feng got some time to breathe and immediately changed the topic. "Second Uncle, Hye-hee didn't fall in love early, right?"
Shen Changqing stared at him. "How is that possible? Our Hye-hee is focused on her studies. She doesn't fall in love."
Shen Feng smiled meaningfully and said, "Our Hye-hee is so beautiful. You and Second Aunt have to keep a close eye on her. You don't know that boys nowadays are all cunning."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Fu Qingxuan with hostility.
Fu Qingxuan stared back. He suspected him. He even suspected that he was up to no good. After all, the bad girl was adopted and he was not her biological brother.
Shen Xi looked at Shen Feng, who was sitting in front of her. Her eyes became warmer and more sentimental.
Mr. Shen only had two brothers. He and Eldest Uncle. Their parents passed away early. Eldest Uncle was eight years older than Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen was brought up by Eldest Uncle.
Eldest Uncle was an honest man. He was not as aggressive as Shen Xi. He opened a small restaurant at home and ran a small business. His family was also very prosperous.
When Old Shen had started his business, Eldest Uncle had scraped together the money and begged his grandparents to borrow it. Eldest Aunt was also a good person. She had never said anything bad and had always helped them.
After Mr. Shen made a lot of money, Eldest Uncle never asked him for money. Every time he gave him money, he would reject it. He said that he was not short of money and wanted him to use it for his business.
In her previous life, after Mr. Shen went bankrupt, Eldest Uncle and his family used all their money to pay off his debts. However, Mr. Shen owed too much money. Their money was not enough to fill the hole.
After Mr. Shen died, Eldest Uncle and his family never appeared in the book again. After all, they were all small characters in the book. They did not have much of a presence in the background. She also did not know what would happen to them in the end.
**
The Shen family lived in a small town in Jiangnan. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery was very beautiful.
Shen Changqing's house and Eldest Brother Shen Chang-lin's house were next to each other. Knowing that they were coming back today, a group of people gathered at the door.
When the car came to a stop, Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan alighted.
When the people who came to join in the fun saw them, they could not take their eyes off them. The daughter of the Shen family, Shen Xi, was very beautiful. She had been beautiful since she was a child. Everyone knew that she was a beautiful young lady.
In the past, all the parents who had boys of similar age in their families did not miss her. When she grew up, they wanted her to be their sons' daughter-in-law.
However, Mr. Shen's father was not only successful. He made a lot of money in the real estate business and became a famous local entrepreneur. His daughter was also successful. She was good at dancing since she was young and had won numerous awards. A few years ago, the whole family moved to Beijing so that she could learn to dance better.
Those who were interested in her gradually gave up. They could not get close to her. Mr. Shen's daughter had become even more successful recently. She became a famous designer, won awards, worked for famous stars, and danced on the international stage. It was said that she was the best dancer in Huaxia. She was even on the news of many countries!
Shen Chang-lin and his wife, Du Juan, were so happy that they could not close their mouths. They hurried over to help carry the things.
Shen Xi greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt."
Fu Qingxuan also greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt."
Shen Chang-lin looked at the handsome young man in front of him and nodded with a simple and honest smile. "Hello, hello."
This young man was Hye-hee's friend. He came from abroad and said that he wanted to experience the New Year's atmosphere in China. He was really good-looking.
Du Juan smiled and responded. She thought that this young man was really compatible with Hye-hee. She smiled and said, "You must be tired from the journey. Come in and talk."
Opposite them, a group of children who were playing around suddenly surrounded them. They were all taught by the adults in advance to ask for red packets.
Shen Changqing smiled and gave the red packets that he had prepared beforehand to Shen Feng. He asked him to help give the red packets to the children.
Shen Xi's eyes were cold. She nudged Fu Qingxuan and gave him a look, telling him to go home first. If this was not her hometown and her uncle's family was also here, she would not be willing to come back to this kind of place.
Fu Qingxuan glanced at the people who surrounded them and only felt annoyed. Looking at their pairs of greedy and dirty eyes made him feel uncomfortable all over. He walked into the house.
Shen Xi and Shen Changqing went together to greet the neighbors. She stood beside Shen Changqing with a faint smile on her face, looking like an obedient girl.
She didn't like these indifferent social interactions, and she also didn't like to see the greedy faces of some people. Sometimes, the saying was quite true. Don't look at the small place, the people here had big tempers!
It did not matter if she did not greet them. After a while, it would definitely spread throughout the town. They would say that she was successful and did not know how to greet the elders. They would say that her parents did not teach her well.
When there were many people, there would be all kinds of people. Some sincerely wished them well, but there were more people who saw that their family was getting better and richer. They were jealous and wanted to take advantage of them.
Just look at the faces of the people who encouraged the children to ask for red packets. Their father had always been kind to others, and this made them think that their father was weak and easy to bully. In recent years, there were all kinds of people who borrowed money and did not return it. There were also people who worked for their father and were greedy, lazy, and bullied others.
On the surface, they were amiable, but behind their backs, no one knew whether they were people or ghosts.
A group of people were all complimenting Shen Changqing and Shen Xi.
They said that Shen Changqing was amazing. His business was getting bigger and bigger, and he had made a lot of money. He should not forget his roots and his poor relatives in his hometown.
They said that Shen Xi was getting more and more beautiful and successful. She had become a famous designer, worked for a big star, and danced on the international stage. She was the most successful person in town.
When there were many people, naturally, they would choose to say good things and try their best to compliment them.
"Hye-hee."
A sweet voice with infinite surprise sounded in her ears.
Shen Xi looked up and saw a beautiful girl who had her hand on the door frame.
The girl was about 20 years old. She had an oval face full of collagen, a fine nose, and cherry lips. She was a standard beauty. Wearing a white down jacket, she looked like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, untainted by a speck of dust.
The girl's clear, crystal-like almond-shaped eyes twinkled. They were very beautiful, but if one looked closely, one would find that her pupils were not focused at all.
"Sister." Shen Xi's voice became hoarse as she looked at the girl in front of her. She wanted to go over and hug her, but her body froze on the spot. She could only stare at her, a broken light flashing in the bottom of her eyes.
The girl was very familiar with the road in front of the house. After confirming her voice, she ran over to her steadily. Her beautiful long fingers with distinct bones covered the top of her head. She smiled and said, "Ah, you've grown taller."
Shen Xi smiled and nodded. "Yes."
In her previous life, after Mr. Shen went bankrupt, she did not know what happened to her uncle's family.
But she knew what happened to her sister. At that time, she was already married. She did not know that the scumbag was only interested in her appearance and her singing voice.
Later, under the man's plan, she relied on her beautiful singing voice and natural beauty to become a well-known blind singer.
But she married the wrong person. Her husband was a scumbag who did not love her at all. He only saw her as a cash cow and squeezed her body dry. He squeezed all her money out of her.
Her sister wanted to help Mr. Shen pay off his debts and took the money that originally belonged to her. But that man said that she stole his money. In the process of arguing, she was pushed down from the 20th floor by the scumbag, and her life ended.
