Except for Xingkong, everyone looked nervously at Huo Siye, each with their own concerns.
Huo Siye walked slowly to the old man, his gaze deep. "Old Shen, I shouldn't have intervened in Shen family's affairs. But..."
His gaze passed over the old man and stopped on Shen Xinai's body.
Shen Xinai's heart skipped a beat.
What did he mean by saying this?
Did he agree to the engagement with her already? Did he think it was his family affair, so he intervened?
At the thought of this possibility, Shen Xina's joy rose to her eyebrows.
"Brother Siye..."
"But Old Shen, your granddaughter is not very good." Huo Siye's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all the warmth in her chest and mercilessly crushing her heart.
"Trying to drug me and frame her sister." Huo Siye's deep and calm eyes were chilling, making people tremble with fear.
The warmth on Shen Xinai's body faded away little by little. Her small face turned pale, and her lips trembled, unable to speak.
"As for the kidnapping of her sister, I don't think she's innocent either." Huo Siye spoke coldly, accusing Shen Xinai of her crimes.
The old man held onto his cane, his face full of despair.
How could he not have thought that this matter was related to Xinai? But she was different from Dong Ru zhu. Dong Ru zhu was just a daughter-in-law, while Xinai was his granddaughter and the only heir of the Shen family.
It didn't matter if Dong Ru zhu could survive, but Xinai had to be saved.
"Fourth Lord, Xinai is still a child." The old man lowered his posture and looked at Huo Siye with a hint of pleading, hoping he could show some mercy.
Shen Xinai looked at Huo Siye almost pleadingly, and saw a hint of coldness and ferocity in his eyes. She tried her best to control her trembling body.
"If I remember correctly, she also called you sister, didn't she?" Huo Siye gave a faint smile, his tone cold and distant.
Boom!
Now, her trembling was out of control.
Shen Xinai swayed and finally fell heavily onto the sofa, her face ashen.
"Yes, yes, although we were born on the same day, she is two hours older than me!" Xingkong nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.
But this was just Dong Ru zhu's excuse. What "born on the same day"? In fact, Shen Xinai was ten months older than her.
In order to bring her and Shen Zhizhou's illegitimate daughter into the Shen family, Dong Ru zhu directed a scene of mistaken identity.
A DNA report announced to the world that the daughter the Shen family had raised for ten years was a mistake.
But considering the years of nurturing, after taking back her biological daughter, they would continue to raise the mistaken child.
From then on, Shen Xinai became the daughter of Shen Zhizhou and Dong Ru zhu, while Xingkong became an orphan with unknown parents.
Dong Ru zhu, the stepmother, even vowed to treat the two children equally and as her own!
You see, once people have desires, they will stop at nothing.
They can even claim someone else's biological child as their own.
"Is Shen so biased?" A question sentence, but with an irresistible sharpness.
Mr. Shen naturally understood what Huo Siye meant. After thinking for a few seconds, he sternly said, "Starting today, you will step down from all positions in the company and never go back.
As for you, immediately go back to your room and copy 'The Standards for Being a Good Student and Child' one thousand times. You are not allowed to leave the room without my permission before the start of the school year!"
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
"Old man!"
Dong Ru zhu and the other two exclaimed in disbelief, protesting against Mr. Shen.
But Mr. Shen ignored them and spoke again, "Xingkong, family matters should not be made public. Can you understand your grandpa?"
Xingkong didn't want to understand.
She wanted Dong Ru zhu and Shen Xinai to taste what it was like to be despised by everyone like a rat crossing the street!
"Making things difficult for the victim is probably what they call moral blackmail," Xingkong looked straight at her grandpa, her eyes full of grievances that broke one's heart. "My sister wants me to be a scapegoat, and my mother wants to kill me. And yet, grandpa, you want me to understand? Grandpa, don't I deserve justice?"
Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She was really aggrieved. What did she do wrong? Why did everyone want her to compromise?
The various conspiracies and plots of her previous life had already exhausted her.
After being reborn, she still faced all kinds of schemes and traps.
"Grandpa, do you remember that I'm only eighteen this year? You said my sister is still a child, but am I not? I almost died, but all she got was confinement! Do you think that's fair?"
Xingkong accused with tears in her eyes.
Mr. Shen's face looked very bad. Of course, he thought the punishment was too light.
"Must it really be made known to everyone? What face will the Shen family have left then?" Although he had felt guilty towards Xingkong before, seeing her so unreasonable now made the old master very dissatisfied with her.
"What more do you want? You shameless woman, don't push your luck. Do you even know what you are? Can you compare to my precious granddaughter?" The old lady was so angry that she wanted to hit Xingkong, but was stopped by Huo Siye.
"The Shen family has really impressed me today."
"Fourth Master... I apologize for any inconvenience caused."
With Huo Siye intervening, he really couldn't show too much favoritism.
"I'll give you forty million dollars, and grandfather will give your company five percent of the shares and ten million dollars as compensation."
"How can this be!" Shen Xinai screamed, "Grandfather, are you crazy? Why should she get so much? She's just a shameless adopted daughter, why should she get shares in the company!"
"Take Miss Shen back to her room!" The old master was afraid that Shen Xinai would cause trouble again, so he quickly had someone take her back to her room.
Of course, she refused and shouted, "Shen Xingkong, you shameless person, I won't allow you to take away my things. I'll kill you, ahhh, I'll kill you."
Shen Xingkong sneered and looked at the old master again. "Grandfather, did you hear her say she wants to kill me?"
The old master glared fiercely at Shen Xinai.
Xingkong then looked at Huo Siye again. "Fourth Master, please be a witness today. If anything happens to me one day, you must tell the police what you saw and heard today!"
"Okay." Huo Siye nodded calmly.
Shen Xinai, "...".
"Xinai, go back to your room and behave yourself," Dong Ru zhu closed her eyes and opened them again, calmly speaking to Shen Xinai.
"Mom!"
"Listen to me!"
"I know." Shen Xinai stomped her foot. When she passed by Xingkong, she couldn't resist and raised her hand to push her.
Xingkong had already anticipated that she wouldn't obediently go back to her room, so she was prepared.
When Shen Xinai pounced on her, she had already reacted.
A slap landed heavily on...
