As a fake daughter, she is rebellious and specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction.

"What?" Just when Shen Jindong was about to ask a question, Long Meng grabbed him. Long Meng smiled slightly, elegantly took off the jade bracelet from his hand, and gently handed it to He Qingqing.

"Qingqing, look at our family, we are really careless." Long Meng said in a gentle tone, "This pair of jade bracelets is a meeting gift from my eldest aunt to you. Do you like it?"

He Qingqing's eyes widened and she was a little at a loss. She felt inexplicably afraid of Long Meng, as if his eyes could see through her heart. She timidly turned her head to look at Shen Nian, as if asking for help.

Long Meng's smile froze, and she also looked at Shen Nian, waiting for her reaction.

Shen Nian glanced at the jade bracelet and knew in his heart that it was worth a lot of money. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Since it's what Auntie wants, Qingqing, just accept it. Don't let Auntie think you dislike her gift."

After hearing this, He Qingqing thanked Long Meng a little awkwardly, "Thank you, auntie."

Long Meng shook his head gently and said nothing.

At this time, Shen Wenzhi's expression softened slightly. He turned to Shen Lin and said, "Xiao Lin is back too. Have you finished handling the company's affairs?"

Shen Lin gritted her teeth and forced out a smile, "Grandpa, I'll come back to see you."

Shen Wenzhi snorted coldly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Why do you always help outsiders target Nian Nian in the show? Our Shen family didn't raise you just to let you target our own family!"

After hearing this, Shen Jindong was a little unhappy and frowned deeper, "Dad, what you said is wrong. At that time, Linlin didn't know that Shen Nian was our Shen family. Besides, it was just for the effect of the show. Why did you take it seriously?"

Shen Wenzhi rolled his eyes, obviously not paying attention to Shen Jindong's excuse, and his eyes were still fixed on Shen Lin.

Shen Lin's eyes were slightly red and she looked aggrieved, "Grandpa, I really didn't know that sister Niannian turned out to be our Shen family, otherwise I would never target her."

She sniffed, her voice trembling, "Actually, I don't want to do this, but the company forced me to do this in order to promote the newcomers."

"Grandpa, you know, my dream is to be a big star. If I am hidden by the company, then I may never have a chance to stand out again!" As she spoke, her eyes became redder and her voice was choked with sobs.

Shen Wenzhi listened to Shen Lin's words expressionlessly, without showing any emotion.

He said calmly: "Xiao Lin, you have to understand that the most important thing in this family is loyalty and family affection.

What you did has hurt Shen Nian. What you have to do now is to apologize to her instead of explaining to me. "

Tears welled up in Shen Lin's eyes. She bit her lip and said stubbornly: "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I will find an opportunity to apologize to sister Nian Nian alone. Don't be angry."

Shen Wenzhi nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction. He looked at Shen Jindong again and said earnestly: "Jindong, you heard it too. I hope you can discipline Shen Lin well and let her understand the importance of family. If there is another time, I will not be lenient."

Shen Jindong's heart trembled, knowing that his father was really angry. He responded hurriedly: "Yes, Dad. I will teach Linlin a lesson."

Long Meng also advised from the side: "Dad, don't be angry. Shen Lin is just too career-minded. I will talk to her later."

Shen Wenzhi snorted coldly and said nothing.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense for a while. At this moment, Shen Nian suddenly broke the silence, "Grandpa, don't be angry. I believe Sister Shen Lin didn't mean it. We are all a family. If you have anything to say, please say it."

After hearing what Shen Nian said, Shen Wenzhi's expression softened a little. He looked at Shen Nian, and his heart was filled with relief. There are still people in this family who understand his painstaking efforts.

It was dinner time. After the family doctor measured Shen Wenzhi's blood pressure, a sumptuous dinner was prepared. The family sat around the dining table and started dinner.

During the dinner, Shen Wenzhi chatted with Shen Nian from time to time, and Shen Sheng and He Qingqing could also add a few words.

Shen Jindong and Long Meng laughed from time to time. Shen Lin seemed a little silent. She knew she had made a mistake and felt a little uneasy.

After dinner, Shen Jindong and his family of three were sent away.

Shen Wenzhi asked Shen Nian to accompany him for a walk in the yard. He walked unsteadily, coughing from time to time. Shen Nian stayed by his side silently, feeling a little worried.

"Nian Nian, your aunt and Linlin are both face-saving people." Shen Wenzhi said slowly, "Although they have some small tricks, they are not bad in nature. Your aunt is not giving this jade bracelet casually."

Shen Nian smiled and responded: "Grandpa, I understand. The most important thing between a family is trust and tolerance."

After hearing this, Shen Wenzhi showed a satisfied smile, "As long as you understand."

Shen Nian felt warm in his heart, "Grandpa, I can do it. You should also take care of yourself."

Shen Wenzhi's words made Shen Nian feel warmer, and she became more determined to protect her grandfather, Shen Sheng and Qing Qing.

At the same time, Shen Lin and Long Meng were also talking in their room.

Shen Lin lowered her voice and said to Long Meng: "Mom, do you really want to do this? Grandpa will notice it."

Long Meng's eyes were cold, "So what if you notice it? Shen Nian is a key figure in our plan. Only with the help of her luck can Asheng return to normal."

Shen Lin hesitated, "But..."

Long Meng smiled contemptuously, "But what? Don't forget that everything you have is given to you by me! Just do whatever I ask you to do, don't talk so much nonsense!"

Shen Lin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, my daughter will listen to you."

The two discussed in low voices for a while, and then separated.

Shen Lin returned to her room. She looked at the photos posted all over the room, which were all mother-daughter photos of her and Long Meng.

In the photo, Long Meng looked at her with such loving eyes, but in reality, he only regarded her as a tool to achieve her goals.

The tears in Shen Lin's eyes slowly slipped out of her eyes.

She began to regret it, but as soon as this thought popped up, Shen Lin stopped immediately.

Because she recalled the days when she was lonely and helpless in the orphanage, and her meals depended on the dean's face.

Compared to those days, at least she is living a good life now, isn't she?

As for the love that doesn’t exist?

Compared to money and status, what is all that love?

She has money, what can’t she buy?

At worst, she would go to the nightclub and find a few more boys to accompany her.

Shen Lin's eyes gradually became colder, and when she looked at the photos on the wall, there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.
