Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

Chapter 240

When Shen Bin saw Shen Yue's attitude towards him, he was somewhat surprised.

Shen Yichen had always protected Shen Yue, and he hadn't had a good look at Shen Yue in a long time, so his impression of her was still stuck in her childhood.

At that time, Shen Yue would laugh very prettily under his and his wife's care, but she was also too ordinary, so ordinary that he knew at a glance that this child would definitely not be able to pass the family assessment and was a child that had to be given up.

Therefore, after she turned 6, he persuaded his wife to distance herself from Shen Yue, so that when they faced failure in the future, they would not be too heartbroken.

Shen Bin knew that Shen Yue was not having a good time at home, and unlike the other children, Shen Yue was after all a girl who had more delicate feelings and craved love even more, but it was precisely because of this that he could not get close to Shen Yue.

He still remembered Shen Yue often looking at him with longing eyes when she was little, acting coquettishly with him, and pitifully begging him to play games with her. But now there was nothing in Shen Yue's eyes when she looked at him.

No love, no hate, not even any emotion.

This was not normal.

But for them it was the best state.

Shen Bin softened his voice and said, "After all, you have lived in the Shen family for so many years. Your mother and I are not completely heartless towards you. Take the money I give you and leave the Shen family... but you'd better not go looking for your biological parents."

Shen Bin today looked much more emotionally stable than before, perhaps because he subconsciously believed that he was in a superior position when facing Shen Yue, so he did not have the irritability he had when talking to Shen Yichen.

Shen Yue did not answer Shen Bin's question, but asked in return, "What exactly are you afraid of?"

When Shen Bin heard Shen Yue's words, his heart suddenly seemed to be squeezed. He immediately reacted, frowning and saying coldly, "We are talking about your problem now."

But Shen Yue did not give Shen Bin a chance to change the subject. She said, "I know what you are afraid of, Mr. Shen. You are afraid of loss, so you are stingy in giving, thinking that this protects everyone, when actually it only protects yourself."

Shen Yue's voice was like magical, involuntarily making Shen Bin think of the countless times over the years he had seen the disappointed expressions on the faces of the children in the family in order to implement his own educational policy.

As well as their New Year's Eve dinner every year that was completely devoid of any festive atmosphere.

Had he done wrong? He...

Shen Bin suddenly thought of his brothers and sisters again, and immediately suppressed the discordant sound that had just emerged from his heart. He said to Shen Yue, "I don't know if Yichen told you something, but at your age, you can’t understand my difficulties.

I don't care about you in order for you to accept mediocrity. Only by accepting one's own mediocrity can one not lose oneself in seeking something unattainable. Only by...not having poured love into the children can one avoid feeling pain when losing them."

Shen Bin didn't know why he would say these things to Shen Yue, but after saying them, he felt inexplicably more comfortable.

After listening to Shen Bin's words, Shen Yue frowned instead. She did not refute him, but followed his words and continued asking, "If you have never poured in love, you won't feel pain when you lose it. But why does there have to be loss?"

When Shen Bin heard Shen Yue's words, he seemed to recall something. He sighed and said, "The chosen ones are only a minority. Let's not talk about this anymore. Now this is irrelevant to you... How much money do you want? After all, you grew up in the Shen family. I won't let you live poorly outside."

Shen Yue shook her head and said softly, "I stayed in the Shen family because of my feelings with my brothers. If one day they don't need me anymore and hate me, then I will leave. Or... if Huihui really dislikes me, then I can also leave, as long as Mr. Shen makes Huihui tell me to my face that she dislikes me."

Shen Bin had been losing patience when he heard the first part, but after hearing Shen Yue's words, he didn't feel it was so unacceptable.

He was well aware of how much the brothers loved and protected Shen Yue. It was unlikely for them to say they disliked her, but it would be very simple to make Shen Hui say it.

"If Shen Hui says it and you leave the Shen family, I will pay you 100,000 yuan per month for living expenses until you are 28 years old." As Shen Bin spoke, he lit a cigarette, a sign that his mind was beginning to relax.

Shen Yue smiled as if she had no choice and agreed, "Okay, thank you Mr. Shen."

This would make Shen Hui feel more sorry for her.

Shen Yue returned to her room in a good mood and took out her homework.

She flipped open the questions she had to do today. They were about the same as what the teacher had taught in class, and she already understood them, so it was quick to do them, but Shen Yue deliberately didn't pick up her pen.

She was waiting for Shen Hui to come and teach her.

Si Chengyou said that in psychology there is a sunk cost effect, meaning that people become more attached to things the more they invest in them.

She was now guiding Shen Hui to invest time and money into her, so that the more costs she accrued, the more Shen Hui would be unable to let her go.

If there were no costs, she would create costs.

At this moment, Shen Yue’s phone next to her hand rang. Shen Yue picked it up and saw it was a message from Qing Xiaoyu.

Qing Xiaoyu was very worried that she had been bullied by Shen Hui.

Seeing the obviously childish words on the phone, Shen Yue felt warm inside.

She picked up her phone to reply to Qing Xiaoyu’s message, telling her not to worry, Shen Hui was just not good with strangers, she was actually a good kid...

As she typed, Shen Yue suddenly realized that she was not the same as the person in her memories.

Because now she was not alone anymore.

Whether it was Teacher Niu, Qing Xiaoyu, or 15-year-old Shen Hui, these were all part of her life.

【Xiaoyu, thank you for your concern. Actually my sister had some bad experiences when she was young and we just found her recently, so she is wary of her surroundings. She looks fierce but is actually very afraid inside. I didn't have a chance to speak with you today. I hope we can have lunch together tomorrow if possible. Xiaoyu, don't dislike Huihui no matter what, she is a good kid.】

【Oh my god, bad experiences? Really? I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I was still thinking today she had no manners... I understand, can I explain it to our other classmates? They probably misunderstood too. 】

【I would be so grateful for that, thank you Xiaoyu.】

Shen Yue chatted with Qing Xiaoyu for a while before Shen Hui finally came in the door.

Hearing the sound, Shen Yue closed the chat interface with Qing Xiaoyu and smiled innocently at Shen Hui. "Huihui, I don't understand some of the homework questions. Can you teach me?"

Shen Hui walked over while wiping her wet hair. "Which ones?"

Shen Yue took the opportunity to take the towel and let Shen Hui sit in her spot while she helped dry her hair. "Just these few questions. Take a look first, I’ll blow dry your hair for you."

Shen Hui nodded.
