Shen Youlin came out of her trance when she heard Shen Yiling's soft voice who was now holding her mother's hand and saying
"Mom, it's alright. Youlin is younger in the family. It is alright for her to behave irresponsibly sometimes."
Finishing her words, Shen Yiling looked towards her sister with a soft smile on her lips. However, her smile lasted only for a few moments when she saw Shen Youlin rolling her eyes are her words.
Shen Youlin was not supposed to behave like this. She was supposed to look at her with grateful eyes. Thought Shen Yiling inside her heart.
She couldn't help but look at Shen Youlin once again.
Why did it seem that her sister has suddenly changed a little or rather she should say very much?
Maybe it was just her illusion. Shen Yiling tried to assure herself. She needed Shen Youlin to find everything about Mo Roulan.
The detectives hired by her mother have not given any news until now. It was only yesterday she got to know from one of her friends that she saw her brother Shen Weisheng with her younger sister.
Her friend asked her whether Shen Youlin was closer to Shen Weisheng more than her as she had never seen Shen Weisheng with her.
There was no doubt that she had been envious. She had to pretend in front of them that she was closer to her brother than Shen Youlin.
It was instead Shen Youlin who was clinging to her brother. However, amidst all this, she never forgot that she still needs to handle Mo Roulan.
So she immediately told her mother about this and asked her to invite Shen Weisheng to lunch.
However, now the whole afternoon had passed already and it was already evening. Shen Yiling was very angry that she had to wait so much and seeing Shen Youlin's branded dress and all accessories only made her heart fill with more contempt.
It was not only Shen Yiling who noticed Shen Youlin rolling her eyes. Shen Zhilan noticed that too.
She patted her elder daughter's hand and pointed her finger at Shen Youlin as she said loudly
"Look at her how she is behaving with you though you are trying to protect her. She needs to set straight. Regardless of younger or older, everyone is supposed to think of the family when a family is dealing with the financial crisis."
Shen Yiling didn't try to stop her mother this time.
She just had a helpless expression on her face but inside her heart, she was very satisfied. Since Shen. Youlin doesn't appreciate her kindness then she would rather not work hard for her.
Let her face her mother's anger today!
She thought that Shen Youlin would surely start to cry or argue in a few seconds as it has always been like this. However, Shen Youlin just stood there silently as Shen Zhilan spoke this and that.
"You don't have an..."
"She is using my money."
Shen Weisheng interrupted Shen Zhilan coldly.
His face didn't have any emotion as he stared into Shen Zhilan's shock-filled eyes.
Shen Yiling was shocked too. Her mouth was slightly parted as she looked at Shen Weisheng and then at Shen Youlin.
Her fists clenched with anger as she understood what She Weisheng was saying was true. Otherwise from where would Shen Youlin get all this money to buy all these branded clothes.
It must be Shen Weisheng. But why....why did he give her so much money?
Did they reconcile? Shen Yiling didn't know much about the fight between Shen Weisheng and Shen Youlin but she knew one thing they rarely talked to each other.
When Shen Weisheng had come back, Shen Youlin had tried to accompany him just like she had tried. However, Shen Weisheng was too cold and indifferent and hence she gave up.
Shen Youlin didn't give up until one day she suddenly noticed Shen Youlin not talking to Shen Weisheng at all and Shen Weisheng also never tried to talk with anyone of them.
But now the same cold and indifferent Shen Weisheng was buying clothes for Shen Youlin while she here had not gone shopping anything just to impress her mother.
"You..."
Shen Yiling looked at her angry mother who was now looking at her brother.
Shen Weisheng looked calm and it angered Shen Zhilan more. She looked at Shen Youlin and then at her dearest daughter who immediately made a pitiful face noticing her gaze.
Seeing this, Shen Zhilan couldn't help but say to Shen Weisheng coldly.
"If you have so much money on you then why keep it to only one sister?"
Shen Weisheng smiled humorlessly at this question and said
"My money...it is I who will decide how and what kind of people I do want to spend my money on."
Shen Zhilan went speechless while Shen Yiling's eyes and heart were now filled with more contempt.
Even Wang Weimin and Grandfather Shen were very surprised after hearing Shen Weisheng's words.
"Weisheng you…"
Grandfather Shen frowned when he saw that Shen Zhilan still wanted to speak more. How could he not see how aloof Shen Youlin has become from their family!
Seeing as she stood there looking at this scene indifferently, his old and experienced eyes could see everything and also conclude what was happening.
However, it didn't affect him that much.
Grandfather Shen, after all, knew that Shen Youlin was involved in drugs addictions before. He was more afraid that Shen Zhilan would push away Shen Weisheng also so he interrupted her
"Zhilan, stop it now!"
Shen Zhilan was startled to hear her father's sharp and cold voice for her.
She looked at her father with shock-filled eyes. However, Grandfather Shen didn't seem to care at all as he said
"Weisheng is right. He can do whatever he wants…and no matter how we have been doing financially, did I ever stop you from buying anything?"
Shen Zhilan shook her head while her eyes were filled with tears.
Grandfather Shen nodded his head in satisfaction and continued
"Right…it is not like Shen Enterprises have not seen losses before. However, we have enough to sustain even with losses. We never stop our daughters from buying what they want. Do you understand?"
Shen Youlin looked t this fiasco silently. If it had been her old self then she would have thought that her grandfather cared for her. However, now she knew very well that he must have some reasons to talk to her mother like this.
Still, she felt very satisfied when Shen Zhilan had to nod her head and say
"Yes Dad, I understand."
