“What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and tell us everything.”

Shen Xu was also anxious. He felt that his little brother was really too foolish.

​ 

Not only was he sold out by Shen Xue, but until now he was still thinking of shouldering everything for her? He was seriously just counting money for the scammer!

“It was when I saw Sister Shen Xue crying at the door and there was no one around. Fifth Brother only cared about bringing Emily into the family and did not care about Sister Shen Xue. That was why Sister Shen Xue cried at the door so sadly. I felt unjust for her at the moment, so…” Shen Nan’s voice became softer and softer with each word. He suddenly realized that his attitude after entering the hall was indeed rather unpleasant.

“What? Why are you stuttering?” Third Aunt always had a hot temper.

“So I just went in and told Fifth Brother… that Emily was not suitable to stay in the Shen family…” Shen Nan’s voice trailed off at the end.

Bang ——

As soon as Shen Nan finished speaking, Shen Yan threw his teacup right next to Shen Nan’s feet. Shen Nan shrunk his neck in fear.

“Grandpa, don’t be angry. You know Shen Nan. He can’t be saying these things for no reason.”

Shen Xu saw that Shen Yan was angry. He was afraid that Shen Yan would act in the moment of rage and beat Shen Nan, so he hurriedly blocked in front of Shen Nan.

“Shen Xu, get out of the way. I’m going to teach this little scoundrel a lesson today. He’s forgotten everything about the rules and manners we’ve taught him. Since when was it his turn to make decisions in the Shen family? It’s not up to him to decide who can or cannot stay in the Shen family.”

Shen Yan walked in front of Shen Xu and was about to raise his hand to hit Shen Nan, but he was blocked by Shen Xu.

“Grandpa, calm down. You know Sixth Brother’s temper. He doesn’t know to think things through.”

Fourth Brother, Shen Hao, saw that things weren’t going well, so he quickly rushed to Shen Xu’s side and blocked Shen Nan behind him as well.

“Great, now you are showing me your brotherhood. I’d like to hear what more outrageous things he can say.”

When Shen Yan saw that Shen Hao and Shen Xu were both protecting their brother Shen Nan, the anger in his heart naturally faded a little, though he continued to act furiously on the surface.

“Dad, calm down first. Don’t let your blood pressure get high again.”

Second Aunt hurriedly went forward, holding Shen Yan’s arm to make sure he doesn’t collapse, then quietly tugged Shen Yan back to his original seat. She hurriedly hinted at her son, Shen Hao, with a quick glance.

Shen Hao understood and quickly turned around to look at the frightened Shen Nan behind him.

Shen Hao and Shen Xu were about the same age. The two of them were only born two months apart, and they were very close to each other. So Shen Hao was naturally close to Shen Xu’s younger brother as well, and treated him as his own brother.

Shen Hao placed his hands on Shen Nan’s shoulders and exerted some strength.

“Shen Nan, tell Fourth Brother who told you that all these changes happened to Fifth Brother because of Emi.” Shen Hao went straight to the point. If it wasn’t for someone telling Shen Nan something, how could Shen Nan, who had such a simple personality, feel that this was all Emily’s fault?

Shen Nan shook his head and said with a trembling voice, “Sister Shen Xue cried several times because of Emily and suffered a lot of blames. Fifth Brother also became unwilling to pay attention to me because of Emily.”

Shen Yan took a deep breath and was about to get angry, but he was stopped by his wife, Old Lady Shen.

Shen Yan looked towards her and saw his wife shaking her head at him. Shen Yan reluctantly suppressed his anger.

“Shen Nan, do you not want to see Fifth Brother happy? Did you not notice that after Emi came, Fifth Brother smiled a lot more often?”

“But Fifth Brother’s smile was never directed towards me.”

Shen Nan looked at his Fourth Brother, a little confused. Of course, he wanted his Fifth Brother to be happy, but he was still agitated. Why did that person have to be Emily? Not to mention that Emily had caused Shen Xue to cry so many times.

“When Emi was not around before, your Fifth Brother didn’t smile at you either.”

Shen Hao was a little unsure about what to say to Shen Nan. Turns out that this kid, Shen Nan, was just being jealous.

Shen Nan bit his lip. Although what his Fourth Brother said made sense, he felt upset.

“What about Sister Shen Xue? Sister Shen Xue also cried several times because of Emily,” Shen Nan asked, unconvinced. In his heart, he stubbornly believed that Emily was in the wrong.

Since talking about Shen Yu didn’t work as an argument, perhaps talking about Shen Xue would. He had personally seen Shen Xue cry because of Emily.

“How do you know that your Sister Shen Xue cried because of Emi?”

“It was Sister Shen Xue who told me.”

Shen Nan looked at Shen Hao naïvely and could not help but wonder why his Fourth Brother had become so strange today.
