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

Her words were spoken with such righteous indignation that everyone in the Shen family was taken aback.

He thought to himself that Song Daiqing was probably too shocked by Shen Yingwei's accident and had gone insane.

Shen Nian is connected to the Shen family by blood and is a legitimate child of the Shen family. Even the old master of Shen has not spoken, so how can she, a daughter-in-law who married in from outside, be the one to kick Shen Nian out?

Don't they know what occasion this is? At Old Master Shen's birthday banquet, they want to expel Shen's children in public. What kind of talk is that?

It's a small matter to make a fool of ourselves in front of the guests; it's a big deal to anger Old Master Shen.

The Shen family members looked at each other, all somewhat bewildered.

Shen Zhaoxin covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister-in-law, are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you talking about? Niannian is our Shen family's daughter, how can she live in the family home? Even if you and my brother agree, I, as her aunt, don't."

"We've all seen how sensible and filial Niannian has been since she came home. The accusations you made are all baseless. The reason you're treating her like this is probably because of that adopted daughter who made a mistake and left the Shen family."

"But she deserved what she did wrong. What did Niannian do wrong? You favor your adopted daughter. We've all seen how much Niannian has suffered these days. But if you want to kick her out of the house, we, as her uncles and aunts, will be the first to disagree."

Song Daiqing never expected that the other branches of the family, who had previously regarded the eldest branch as a thorn in their side, would now start speaking up for Shen Nian.

It's one thing for Shen Zhaoxin to speak up for them, but the third branch of the family used to love stirring up trouble, and now they're actually speaking up for Shen Nian.

The second wife didn't like getting involved in these disputes, so naturally she wouldn't say anything more.

Besides, the eldest son's family is shooting themselves in the foot, which benefits the second son's family.

There are many wealthy families in Jinghai, and the drama of real and fake heiresses is quite common.

Hearing Shen Zhaoxin say this, he immediately understood the key point.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Song Daiqing carried a hint of disdain and incomprehension.

They originally thought that Shen Nian would be treated well after leaving her adoptive parents' family of scum and returning to her biological parents' home.

Unexpectedly, the biological parents favored their adopted daughter and mistreated their biological daughter, and now they want to kick their biological daughter out of the house.

What's going on here?

"Brother, say something! Your wife is being unreasonable, are you out of your mind too?"

Shen Zhaoxin pushed her older brother.

Shen Zhaozhang glanced at Song Daiqing and said, "Your sister-in-law must have her reasons for doing this."

In fact, Shen Zhaozhang had found out some things.

The old man seemed to favor Shen Nian as the heir of the Shen family, bypassing their generation, and like the Gu family, he wanted to hand over the Shen family business to his grandchildren.

How could Shen Zhaozhang tolerate this?

He always regarded himself as the future head of the Shen family, and he could not tolerate Shen Nian being his biological daughter.

At this moment, Song Daiqing was acting foolishly, and Shen Zhaozhang was watching from the sidelines. Even if the old master Shen got angry, he would punish his wife instead.

Shen Nian said calmly, "Madam Shen, even if you want to kick me out, shouldn't you ask Grandpa's opinion first?"

"The Shen family is not your place to make decisions now."

"You want to kick me out? Don't you even know how many shares you own in the Shen family? Do you even have the right to make this decision?"

Song Daiqing's face turned ashen. After a long pause, she said in a low voice, "You want your grandfather to stand up for you? Don't dream about it. Your grandfather is unwell and won't be able to get here anytime soon."

However, before she could finish speaking, Shen Yingjia came forward, supporting an elderly man with a solemn expression who was dressed in funeral clothes.

It was none other than the old man, Mr. Shen, who had suddenly fallen ill, as the servants had mentioned.

He shouted sternly, "I'd like to see who dares to kick my granddaughter out!"

The guests whispered among themselves, "Fortunately, Old Master Shen is a reasonable man and didn't let Miss Shen's biological parents run wild."

Old Master Shen stood on the stage and said in a deep voice, "I am not feeling well, please forgive my lateness. I never expected that being so late would make you all witness such a joke."

"Shen Nian is my daughter, Shen Nian. Even though her parents are no longer with the Shen family, she is still my granddaughter, and that will never change."

"Today is Mr. Shen's birthday banquet. Originally, I should have announced Shen Nian's identity to everyone. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Please forgive me for making this a laughing stock of you all."

The other guests chimed in, "Not at all, sir, you flatter us."

He praised Shen Nian a few more times, piling on all sorts of nice words without hesitation.

Old Master Shen then softened his expression and said in a deep voice, "In addition, I have a second matter to announce. I have already made plans for the future of the Shen family. Shen Nian is the heir I have chosen for the Shen family. Recently, I have handed over half of the Shen family's assets to Shen Nian."

These words caused a stir among everyone present.

Shen Zhaozhang forced a smile: "Dad, are you joking? How can we put half of the Shen family's business into the hands of a child like Shen Nian?"

"Shut up, you wicked child."

Old Master Shen roared, "Do you think I don't know about the stupid things you've done, the lawsuits you almost got into? I won't hand over the Shen family business to you two again!"

Old Master Shen spoke cryptically, but Shen Zhaozhang knew perfectly well that he was referring to a mining accident at his mine that killed dozens of people.

He had already tried to cover it up with money, but he didn't expect that Old Master Shen would find out.

For a moment, Shen Zhaozhang's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The second branch of the Shen family might not be too happy either.

Shen Zhaoshan frowned and said, "What my elder brother said makes sense. No matter how smart Niannian is, she is still just a child. How can she take half of the Shen family's business?"

The guests were also taken aback.

He thought to himself, "This Shen Nian is truly an extraordinary person."

The last time they met, she was still being tormented by her adoptive parents, but now she has become half the head of the Shen family.

From now on, it seems the Shen family will all be vying to please her.

Her mother even wanted to kick her out of the house. If she knew what she had, she would regret it.

Old Master Shen said coldly, "The things given to Shen Nian have all the procedures completed, including notarization."

In other words, if someone wants to get it back, it can only be done by Shen Nian voluntarily giving it away or transferring it.

Legally speaking, those industries already belong to Shen Nian.

"If any of you disagree, I can immediately take back what you have in your hands."

Unlike Shen Nian, the businesses owned by the other members of the Shen family are still under the direct control of Old Master Shen.

The children are only responsible for the business management.

It can be retrieved at any time.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoshan's face darkened, and he dared not speak.

Song Daiqing was asked to leave by the servants.

When Grandpa Shen announced the start of the birthday banquet, the guests, having witnessed such a grand spectacle, were naturally all delighted.

As for the Shen family's business partners.

Shen Zhaoshan had assumed they wouldn't agree to Old Master Shen's way of handling the Shen family's assets and was even planning to discuss it with them at the banquet, only to discover that Old Master Shen had already made arrangements with the Shen family's business partners.

Everyone knows that Shen Nian holds half of the Shen family's shares.

The Shen family were the last to find out.
