Chapter 1421: A scary younger brother
Translator: 549690339
[ the seniority in the previous chapter was written wrongly, and it has been changed. Shen Yu is Shen Lan’s younger brother. ]
Shen Yu! Shen LAN turned around and saw a young man walking towards her. Her expression stiffened.
The dignity that he had been able to maintain just now had almost completely collapsed.
Everyone could see the shock and stiffness on Shen Lan’s face.
The people around them were shocked. They did not know who this person was, but he could actually make Shen LAN break her attack in a second.
Some guests who knew about it explained in a low voice, ” “This is the Shen family’s eldest young master. I heard that he’s Shen Zhen’s illegitimate son and was only found recently. The illegitimate child is back, so third Mrs. Li is naturally unhappy. She wants to fight with her for the Shen family’s inheritance.”
“Such a young illegitimate child? From the looks of it, he’s at most in his twenties.”
“He is so young. It is not that you are not clear about the Shen family’s patriarch. He is already a few decades old and still has no restraint in that aspect. However, it was understandable that he worked so hard. The Shen family had no sons, only daughters. He did have a son in the early years, but he died at a young age and didn’t leave behind any grandchildren. He only left behind a granddaughter, who is the current young miss Chen, Chen niyun.
She’s the one who’s been very popular after shooting a commercial recently.”
“Oh, that, I know. That young miss Shen was indeed a little beauty, but she was said to have a very proud temper. However, the daughter of the Chen family does have the right to be arrogant. She’s pretty and decent, and she’ll look good if she’s brought out. If my family background is good enough, I’d like to help my son marry a wife like Chen niyun.”
Yes, who wouldn’t want to?
There was a saying in the upper-class society that married a wife as if she was marrying the daughter of the Shen family.
Shen Zhen’s daughters all married well and were all from rich families.
This meant that as long as they married the daughter of the Shen family, they would naturally form a union with other wealthy families.
Even the Gu family, who had married the Shen family’s daughter and whose family background was not in the top circle, had gradually moved closer to the center of power over the years.
The daughters of the Shen family did have the capital. For example, Shen LAN had become the benchmark for noble ladies after she married into the Li family because of her outstanding ability and beauty.
Even if she was slightly impolite today, in everyone’s impression, she was still a model lady.
However, the young illegitimate child that Shen Zhen had brought back from outside did not have the capital to be arrogant like a daughter of the Shen family.
The illegitimate son of the Shen family, young and without any Foundation, suddenly returned.
Everyone knew that Shen Zhen only had daughters and no sons.
Even if the daughters of the Shen family were married, they were still the only legal inheritors of the Shen family.
If Shen Zhen passed away, all of the family business would be inherited by these daughters.
But now, an illegitimate child had suddenly appeared. How would the Shen family’s business be distributed?
How could those older sisters who had been married for so many years, who
were already tlourishing and had a solid foundation, tolerate such a younger brother?
She didn’t expect to see such a big show before the engagement party even started.
Everyone’s eyes were on Shen LAN and the man called Shen Yu.
By then, ruan Mengmeng had already found out about Shen Yu’s identity from Jing Yichen.
When she heard that he was Shen Zhen’s son, she subconsciously frowned and did not have a good impression of the Shen family.
“Shen Yu, why are you here? I thought you were still overseas.” The broken smile on Shen Lan’s face was restored to perfection in the next second.
She was a little uncertain. She didn’t expect Shen Yu to appear in her plan.
Even though Shen Yu was an illegitimate child and her younger brother, in Shen Zhen’s eyes, his status in the Shen family was much more important than her.
“If elder sister can come, I can naturally come too.” Shen Yu’s dark and narrow eyes swept past Shen Lan’s face and landed on li Jinghui, who was obviously equally stunned.
His eyes darkened and he said coldly, “li Jinghui, you don’t even know how to greet your uncle when you see him. Do you expect your uncle to greet you first?” Sister, or is this the son that you taught with all your heart? ha.”
