Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Song Daiqing found Shen Yingwei on the swing by the artificial lake.

Shen Yingwei's eyes were red and swollen, which made Song Daiqing feel heartbroken.

For her, even though Shen Nian was indeed her biological daughter who had been separated from her family for many years, Shen Yingwei was also a child she had watched grow up.

"Mom, will you not want me anymore?"

Song Daiqing's heart was breaking. She pulled her into her arms and said, "What are you saying? You'll always be your mother's daughter."

Shen Yingwei responded sullenly, and the moment she lowered her head, a strange light entered Song Daiqing's body.

……

Unless there is an emergency at their respective companies, the Shen family always eats dinner together.

Moreover, today is Shen Nian's first time home, and no matter how the other branches of the Shen family treat her, they will give the eldest branch of the family face.

Shen Zhaoxin, who had gone back to her room to catch up on sleep due to lack of rest, also came downstairs before dinner.

Her hair was loosely tied up, and she exuded a relaxed feeling, as if she had had a good night's sleep.

Strange to say.

The calming talisman that Shen Nian gave me seems to be quite effective.

When Shen Zhaoxin went to bed, she casually placed the calming talisman by the bedside, not expecting it to have any effect. Unexpectedly, she, who usually had difficulty falling asleep, fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow this afternoon.

Even when she's asleep, she usually has a lot of chaotic dreams and wakes up with a terrible headache.

But today I slept soundly without any dreams and woke up feeling refreshed.

Because she had slept well, Shen Zhaoxin was in a good mood. When she met Shen Nian on the first floor, she thanked her for the calming talisman with a pleasant smile.

"You're welcome."

Shen Nian said calmly.

"This talisman actually works! It's amazing. I thought these things were just for psychological comfort."

As the two walked along the path, they bumped into Song Daiqing and Shen Yingwei, who were returning from the garden.

Shen Yingwei vaguely heard the words "talisman" and "insomnia," and immediately rushed over with a face full of surprise: "Auntie, is your insomnia cured? Did my talisman work?"

"I knew it! My talismans weren't working. Turns out, there wasn't enough time."

Shen Yingwei chattered away, like a child who had just received praise from her teacher.

Shen Zhaoxin: ...

Shen Nian: ...

Shen Nian thought to herself, "Is Shen Yingwei really the same age as the original owner of this body?"

It looks more like he has some kind of mental deficiency.

Shen Zhaoxin interrupted her, "No, your talisman is useless."

"It was the calming talisman that Shen Nian gave me that worked."

She paused, then thought that Shen Yingwei was still just a young girl: "But thank you anyway, it's very kind of you."

Shen Yingwei's smile instantly froze.

"So...that's how it is."

"I thought..."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened, as if she were about to shed tears.

Song Daiqing quickly reassured her, "No, it must be your talisman that's working."

"You are Master Liaochen's only disciple, and your sister is an internet celebrity. It must be that your talisman was effective."

As she spoke, she gave Shen Zhaoxin a look: "Your aunt is probably just too tired and misjudged the situation."

Shen Zhaoxin shrugged: "Sister-in-law, if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do."

"But sister-in-law, don't you think your words were a bit excessive? Shen Nian just returned to the Shen family, and you're already belittling her like this. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Upon hearing Shen Zhaoxin's words, Song Daiqing seemed to suddenly wake up, and then nervously turned to look at Shen Nian.

But she only saw Shen Nian's back.

Shen Nian didn't even spare them a glance before leaving.

That figure was calm and indifferent.

It was as if she never cared what her suddenly appearing family thought or did.

Shen Zhaoxin said meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, this is originally your family's business, and I shouldn't interfere, but I quite like Shen Nian. If one day you and my brother do something irreversible, I wouldn't mind having another daughter."

After saying that, she turned and left Song Daiqing and Shen Yingwei's side.

Shen Yingwei said nervously, "Mom, did I do something wrong? I'll go apologize to Sister Shen Nian."

Song Daiqing pressed her temples wearily: "It's not your fault, it's Mom's fault..."

Finally, she suddenly remembered something: "I forgot to ask earlier, I don't know what kind of jade your sister found."

Shen Yingwei composed herself: "It must not be very good. I heard that my sister chose a stone with very poor water content."

dinner.

The four members of the family, each with their own thoughts, gathered around the Shen family's dining table.

Shen Nian sat next to Shen Yingchuan, while Song Daiqing and Shen Yingwei sat on Shen Yingchuan's other side.

She didn't have the habit of chatting while eating; she simply ate quietly with her eyes lowered.

He thought to himself that the Shen family's chefs were not good enough and the taste was not as good as that of Tiannan Mountain.

Lin Xi started the conversation first: "Niannian, I heard you opened some raw stones today and got something really good."

As she said this, her tone became uncontrollably harsh, sounding almost like she was gritting her teeth.

Although they are all members of the Shen family, there are still significant differences between members of the Shen family.

If the entire Shen family's assets are worth 500 billion—of course, the actual assets of the Shen family may be more than 500 billion, this is just an example—then the first and second wives could probably take away 400 billion of it.

The third and fourth wives will likely only be able to share the remaining 100 billion.

This is the difference between the different branches of the Shen family.

Moreover, of these tens of billions, very little is in cash assets.

Therefore, if Shen Nian really produced several hundred kilograms of imperial green jade, she could resell it for billions of yuan in cash. In Lin Xi's view, this was tantamount to cutting a piece of flesh out of her pocket.

That's billions of dollars in pure cash flow.

Even if she were a third wife, it's impossible for her to suddenly produce billions in cash.

Isn't that a piece of rotten rock with terrible quality?

Why is it that the eldest son's family can just open up a billion-dollar imperial green house?

Song Daiqing frowned: "What are you talking about? Shen Nian clearly found a stone with very poor texture and quality, where did this good stuff come from?"

Lin Xi's expression turned somewhat strange: "Sister-in-law, don't you know what your daughter got?"

Song Daiqing assumed that Shen Nian had really chosen a very poor piece of jade, and said matter-of-factly, "She just returned to the Shen family and doesn't know anything about jade or how to choose raw stones. It's okay, she can learn from us in the future."

"Even if she didn't grow up in the Shen family and her talent isn't as good as Yingchuan and Yingwei's, I won't be disappointed in her because of that."

Shen Yingchuan:......

He glanced cautiously at his younger sister's expression.

They noticed that Shen Nian's expression remained unchanged.

Song Daiqing thought she was incompetent, or that she was inferior to him and Shen Yingwei.

Shen Nian's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

At the same time, Shen Yingjia, who was a bit dim-witted, heard Song Daiqing's words and asked without thinking, "Auntie, what are you saying?"

"What do you mean Shen Nian's stone is bad? The stone she opened was absolutely amazing!"

"That's 160 kilograms of imperial green!"

Shen Yingjia was utterly shocked. "One hundred and sixty kilograms of imperial green isn't considered good? Auntie, what kind of stone do you consider good?"

Song Daiqing was stunned.

She glanced at Shen Nian: "You really got Imperial Green?"
