Shen Yu was stunned. His cheeks started turning red and he felt his face becoming warmer. He quickly turned and shunned Emily’s eyes.

Emily smiled even more happily.

Very soon, Shen Yan brought Shen Yu, Emily, and the rest back to the Shen family residence. Shen Xue was very quiet along the way.

Emily looked at Shen Xue and did not say anything.

Shen Yan left after sending the children home. Shen Yu held Emily’s hand and brought her away, leaving Shen Xue alone. Shen Xue knew that she was being deliberately ignored, which upset her more than anything else. Her eyes quickly turned red.

“Shen Xue, what happened to you? Why are you crying?”

Shen Nan, who had just been exercising, was wearing a T-shirt and holding a basketball in his hand. When he returned, he saw Shen Xue standing at the entrance of the courtyard with her eyes red and her face pale.

“Brother Shen Nan, I… I don’t know what I did to make Fifth Brother unhappy. After I came back, Fifth Brother just ignored me and left with Emily…”

Shen Xue burst into tears.

Shen Nan instantly started to panic when Shen Xue started sobbing. He reached out in an attempt to pat Shen Xue on the back but retracted his hand midway. He wasn’t sure what to do either.

“Brother Shen Nan, I really don’t know what I did wrong. Why is Fifth Brother treating me like this? I’m his real younger sister.”

The more Shen Xue spoke, the more upset she became.

The anger in Shen Nan’s heart quickly grew. He blamed all of this on Emily. If it wasn’t for Emily’s arrival, Fifth Brother wouldn’t have become so strange and Shen Xue wouldn’t be sad.

All of this was because of Emily. If only she hadn’t come to the house.

The more Shen Nan thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw the basketball aside and said with his voice sinking, “Don’t worry, I’ll chase Emily out now.” 

When Shen Xue heard this, she was shocked. This was not the outcome she had initially wanted or expected.

“Brother Shen Nan…”

When Shen Xue saw that Shen Nan had already run into the house recklessly, she wanted to call him back. However, now that rage has filled up his head, how could Shen Nan still hear her?

Shen Xue chased after him nervously.

“Emily…”

Shen Nan ran into the main hall and saw that Shen Yu had just peeled an apple and was about to pass it to Emily. He suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Shen Yu looked at Shen Nan coldly with displeasure on his face.

Shen Nan subconsciously took a step back. Of all his brothers, he was most afraid of Shen Yu, who was now standing right before him.

Shen Nan cursed himself inside for not thinking this through and being more careful. Why didn’t he see Fifth Brother when he entered just now?

“Sixth Brother…”

Emily was frightened by Shen Nan barging in and almost dropped the apple in her hand. However, as she saw that Shen Nan’s initial anger had already turned into fear, she wasn’t quite sure what to do as she called out to him.

Shen Nan looked at Shen Yu’s eyes and gulped. His courage born out of recklessness had already disappeared.

“Brother Shen Nan…”

Just then, Shen Xue also ran in hurriedly. She tried to pull Shen Nan back in an attempt to stop Shen Nan from saying anything stupid.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes. Seeing Shen Xue enter in such a panic, he could roughly guess what was going on. Shen Xue was probably telling lies and playing her little tricks again.

Shen Nan was just about to leave with Shen Xue when Shen Yu asked, “What did you want to say just now?”

Shen Yu’s words suddenly made Shen Nan and Shen Xue stop in their tracks. The two of them looked at each other not quite knowing what to do.

Shen Nan swallowed again, looked at Shen Yu, and took a deep breath.

“Fifth Brother, I don’t think Emily is suitable to stay in our house.”

Shen Yu’s gaze instantly turned cold. It was as if the person in front of him was no longer his younger brother.

“Say that again.”

Shen Yu’s voice became even colder, and Shen Nan could not help but shiver.

Shen Xue looked at Shen Yu nervously, then looked at Shen Nan. For a moment, she did not know what to do. At her current age, she wasn’t wise enough to come up with a solution to the current situation.

Shen Nan could feel the sweat on his forehead dripping down.

“Fifth Brother…”

Before Shen Nan could say anything, Shen Yu had already stood up. He no longer looked at Shen Xue and Shen Nan. He held Emily’s hand and walked out of the door.

“Fifth Brother…”

Shen Nan hurriedly chased after him, but it was as though Shen Yu couldn’t hear him. He pulled Emily out of the door, completely ignoring Shen Nan and Shen Xue.

“Fifth Young Master…”

When the butler saw Shen Yu pulling Emily out of the door, he quickly came over. Shen Yu ignored him as well and walked past him with Emily.

“Brother…”

Emily was also startled by Shen Yu’s actions and looked at Shen Yu with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go with you,” Shen Yu said softly to Emily as he stopped walking. The haze on his face disappeared the moment he looked at Emily. 

“But…”

Emily still wanted to open her mouth to say something, but Shen Yu had already tugged on her hand and continued walking.
