Shen Xue did not want to go, she disdained the countryside, but when she heard that Shen Yu was going, she decided to follow him.

“Look who it is.” Several villagers saw Emily get out of a luxurious car. At first, they did not recognize that it was Emily, because the difference between Emily now and Emily who left hungry and helpless was dramatic to say the least.

“Aunts and Uncles,” Emily greeted them warmly with a happy smile on her face.

When they heard Emily’s familiar voice, they finally recognized her.

Seeing Emily’s new outfit, the villagers couldn’t help but think that this girl has ascended way above her former self.

“Oh hey Emi! Welcome back!” They exchanged glances and spoke warmly to Emily.

Since when did Emily receive such warm treatment from the villagers? But the child didn’t think too much about it. Instead, she felt very happy.

“Yes, Emi is back.”

Shen Yu looked at the scene in front of him and frowned. He wasn’t as naïve as Emily. He saw right through the frankly deplorable thoughts that went through the villagers’ heads. However, when he saw that Emily was so happy, he kept quiet about it.

“This is…” The villagers saw Shen Yan’s bearing and knew that he was no ordinary man. There were also a few young children beside him who were dressed lavishly.

“Shen Yan,” Shen Yan said with a smile.

When the other Shen family members heard Shen Yan’s introduction, they were all shocked. They couldn’t believe that the head of the Shen family was introducing himself to a bunch of countryside villagers.

When Shen Xue heard her grandfather, she got even more jealous. How could Emily, an outsider, gain such favors from the head of the Shen family?

“You guys haven’t eaten yet, right? Come over and eat,” one of the village woman invited.

Emily recognized her, she was the aunt who had provided a several meals for her before she left.

Emily looked at Shen Yan and Shen Yu. She was afraid that they weren’t used to such an environment.

How could Shen Yan not understand what Emily was thinking? 

“Sure, then pardon us for the intrusion.”

The Shen family members were all shocked. The head of the Shen family had actually accepted the invitation of a village woman.

Among them, the one who was the least willing was Shen Xue. She felt that she really had nothing better to do. Why did she follow them to this shabby place? Who would want to eat such a lousy, cheap meal?

The village woman prepared the best dishes that she could make for the Shen family members. But after the dishes were brought onto the table, Shen Xue’s eyes were filled with disdain.

Shen Yu naturally saw Shen Xue’s disdain. He gave her a warning stare and Shen Xue had no choice but to swallow what she wanted to say.

Although Shen Yu did not want Emily to think he was looking down on the environment where she once lived, he was also found it hard to eat the food on the table. The young heir of the Shen family has been living a life of luxury since birth. He’d never seen such unrefined food before.

“Grandpa, Brother, quickly eat. This is the best food you can find in the village!” Emily said happily.

Shen Yan and Shen Yu heard Emily’s words and felt bad when they saw Emily’s smiling face. What kind of life was this child living in the past?

After the meal, everyone left the table, each having their own thoughts. Only Emily continued to happily without thinking much about the situation she was in.

After Shen Yan finished eating, he glanced at his secretary, who then called the woman to the side quietly and handed her a thick envelope.

The woman was overjoyed when she saw the envelope, and applauded her own acumen. The contents of this envelope could feed her family for months.

“Mr. Shen, you can stay here for the night. The rooms are all tidied and cleaned,” the woman said politely.

Of course, Emily had no idea why the villager’s attitude towards her had changed so much. She simply thought that this aunt still liked her, so her eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

When Shen Yan heard the woman’s invitation, he frowned. Emily could not tell what these people were thinking, but he saw right through their foolish ploy. Yet when he saw Emily’s bright eyes blinking at him with such childish innocence, he couldn’t bear to reject her. ‘Forget it, let’s just stay for one night.’

“What? We’re staying here today?” Shen Xue couldn’t believe her ears. There was no way she could agree to that.

When Shen Yan heard Shen Xue, the polite smile on his face was gone and he turned to look at her. Shen Xue immediately knew that she had said something wrong and she lowered her head.

“Just one night.” Now that Shen Yan had spoken, the decision was made. No one in the Shen family could change it.

The next morning right after he woke up, Shen Yu looked through several rooms to find Emily, but she was nowhere in sight. He was afraid that Emily went out alone and would be bullied by the village children.

Shen Yan saw Shen Yu’s actions, and he was happy about it. He had hired so many doctors who were leading experts in their fields, but still none of them could cure Shen Yu’s psychological disorder.

Since Emily came, Shen Yu not only became more talkative, but his expressions also became far more lively. This girl was probably gaining a greater and greater position in Shen Yu’s heart. But that wouldn’t necessarily be bad, and Shen Yan was willing to accept it if it meant saving the Shen family lineage. As he thought about this, Shen Yan made up his mind. No matter what, he had to protect Emily.
