Chapter 178 - The Anniversary Celebration (Part 11)
"I've never met the eldest young lady of the Shen family before. Be it Lan Yun Entertainment's company annual meeting or any other occasion. The granddaughter representing the Shen family will always be Shen Qianrou. I've never even heard them mention anything about any other granddaughter. They claimed that sending her overseas was for her own good. However, they didn't care about her for six years. Now that they need her, they demand and force her to be the scapegoat. How despicable and shameless of them!"
"Take the blame?"
"Yes! Didn't the Shen family remind Miss Shen to care about the overall situation just now? Isn't it obvious? Think about this.. Shen Qianrou is now a popular celebrity and she has received so much attention. If news of her being a third party in someone else's relationship is exposed…"
"Oh my god… Miss Shen has her fiancée stolen by her younger sister. And now she had to stand here and announce that the annulment was initiated by her? What is she thinking? Both her fiancée and younger sister have betrayed her and she wants to take the blame for them. Is she crazy or stupid?"
"She's unwilling, but someone forced her to! Didn't you notice the photos just now? Who else was in that birthday photo?"
"Su Heng, Shen Qianrou, Mrs Shen, Mrs Su and… Director Jiang?"
"Exactly! She has long known about the relationship between Su Heng and Shen Qianrou, and the Su and Shen families have accepted their relationship. What Miss Shen said just now was that Director Jiang wanted her to be considerate of the overall situation. The Shens can't handle any storms now. Instead of exposing the scandal of her beloved granddaughter breaking up her sister's relationship, it would be better if her unfavored granddaughter were to call off the engagement."
"That's why Miss Shen is here today! It's terrible enough that she was betrayed, but now she has to stand up and defame herself to fulfill their wishes… God, Miss Shen is so loyal and righteous. How can her family do such an outrageous thing to her?"
"Yes! Judging from Miss Shen's reaction, the Young Master Ding that Director Jiang mentioned just now is someone she isn't familiar with. Even when Young Master Ding came back half a year ago, she wasn't aware of it. It's obvious that Director Jiang wants to push her to Young Master Ding. She has decided that Miss Shen will take into account the overall situation and not humiliate all of them at this juncture. Thus, she has gone from bad to worse and labeled her as a cheater. Tsk tsk… If I had such a heartless grandmother, I would have killed myself by knocking my head against the wall!"
"I've never seen such a shameless person in my life!"
In a span of minutes, everyone's attitude towards Shen Fanxing had changed drastically.
Because she was from the Shen family, she was forced to bear the consequences to salvage the situation and announced that she wanted to annul the engagement.
Yet, her biological grandmother seemed to have pushed her to Young Master Ding forcefully, and in the process, making her seem as though she had cheated on Su Heng.
Because of the marriage alliance between the Su and Shen families and the fact that Shen Fanxing had cheated on him, the Shens felt guilty. It was natural for them to betroth their beloved granddaughter Shen Qianrou, to Su Heng.
In this way, Shen Qianrou became the one who had sacrificed the most for the Shen family.
All these were obvious once everyone began to think about it.
Then, everyone recalled everything that Shen Fanxing had said on stage—
"We grew up together and we've known each other for more than a decade. We started dating at the age of 18, and our relationship lasted for almost eight years…"
"It's a pity that our relationship had to end. To me and him, this engagement is only a shackle that binds us. Thus, I'll use the opportunity today to announce the annulment of our engagement. This decision fulfills his wish and I'm freeing myself well…"
When everyone pondered over her words, every word she said was worth crying!
And all of what happened seemed logical!
Shen Qianrou felt a chill running down her spine.
It turned out that Shen Fanxing was indeed pretending from the start!
She had been tolerating it all along!
All of this… all of their actions… They seemed to follow her plan!
