Yu Manyu's eyes were red when she said, "I'm fine."
Her eyes flickered at Shen Tianhao. She quickly changed the subject for fear that Shen Yugui would continue to ask again. "Have you eaten dinner?"
Shen Yugui felt her heart prick and grew upset at her cowardice. "What happened to your face?"
Yu Manyu hastily shook her head. "It's really fine. Don't worry."
"Why aren't you saying it? You got hit in your own home!" Shen Yugui refused to budge and feigned ignorance. "We have to call the police if bad people entered our house!"
Shen Tianhao had been acting normally and coughed awkwardly when he heard those words. "What do you mean call the police? My hand just slipped."
His hand slipped which caused one side of Yu Manyu's face to swell up? There was no trace of guilt in that attitude at all!
Shen Yugui felt anger burn in her chest. She clenched her fists tightly.
Her elder sister was subjected to violence on campus while her mother endured domestic violence at home. She had never known any of this happening when she was abroad! She lived in the lies that her mother and elder sister created and even naively thought that her father would not go beyond having an affair. When she grew up, she could just go home and inherit the family's estate...
Her body trembled in anger.
Then, her fist was wrapped in a pair of gentle hands.
Shen Yugui lowered her head and saw Yu Manyu look at her pleadingly. "Congxin, your father didn't mean it. He was under great pressure at work and just lost himself momentarily. I'll prepare dinner for you so you eat something first."
Congxin...
That was right.
She was her elder sister, Shen Congxin. That submissive daughter of Shen Tianhao who was completely at his mercy.
That was why she could not get angry. She could not expose herself.
Shen Yugui lowered her head and shut her eyes. She took a deep breath and finally suppressed the impulse in her heart.
She stepped forward and was just about to go to the dining room to eat when Shen Tianhao stood up. "Congxin, wait a minute."
Shen Yugui turned around.
Shen Tianhao asked, "What happened with the contract?"
Before she could speak, Shen Tianhao continued. "After the contract is signed, tell Yugui to come back and work in the company as an intern. How does that sound?"
Hearing this, Shen Yugui sneered.
Her biological father was setting conditions for her?

It was already dark when he left the nursing home.
Fei Nancheng sat in the car and returned to the villa.
The nursing home was located in the suburbs and was too far away from Fei Corporation, but the villa was in the city which made it convenient for him to go to work the next day.
He was still wearing a black suit and sat straight and upright. For the first time, he did not take the time to deal with the company documents and instead looked at the night outside, lost in thought.
Why was Grandma so keen on that woman?
While he was thinking, the assistant suddenly said, "Mr Fei, I've sent someone to investigate Miss Shen again."
Fei Nancheng looked at him. "Speak."
The assistant looked at the results of the report and almost cried. "We've verified that Miss Shen has never learned martial arts before. She's always failed her physical education classes."
Fei Nancheng lowered his eyes.
It was not surprising that she was so good at disguising herself.
The assistant hesitated for a moment and then said, "Previously, you asked us to look up relatives who look similar to Miss Shen. There is one who looks exactly the same as her. That year, Madam Shen gave birth to two children…"
Those words immediately made Fei Nancheng raise his head. In his dark eyes, a dazzling light unexpectedly flashed!
