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

Chapter 243

Xu Zhilian heard Shen Wu mention Shen Yue, her eyes changed, "Back then when I was pregnant with Huihui, two people came to the door saying they wanted to buy our child. They said the child I was carrying could change the world. At first I didn't take it seriously and just took them for lunatics, until the day Huihui came back and I realized they had actually stolen my child. They were truly insane..."

Xu Zhilian didn't mention Shen Yue in her words, but everyone could feel she didn't like Shen Yue.

Shen Yichen frowned and looked towards Shen Yue to see she had lowered her head; his heart felt a little uncomfortable.

He opened his mouth to divert the topic, "What were you doing that day that you didn't even know your child had been swapped?"

Xu Zhilian was successfully provoked into explaining, "After I gave birth that day I felt awful. Bin was with me. We thought there were hospital staff specially taking care of her so there wouldn't be any issues...Now when I think about it, those two must have bribed the hospital to make their move."

Shen Yue didn't say anything. She just fiddled with the hem of Shen Hui's clothes.

Seeing Shen Yue like this, Shen Hui secretly reached out and pressed Shen Yue's hand, freeing her own clothes hem and grabbing Shen Yue's restless little hand.

"After Huihui returned, we got people to investigate what had happened over the years but couldn't find any records of her life during that period. It was as if someone had deliberately erased them. As for Shen Yue's origins, we couldn't investigate those either," said Shen Bin, who had been managing the Shen family's affairs for years and had an undoubted extensive network of connections. But even when he had reached this point, he still wasn't able to find out anything. It was clear how deeply this matter was involved.

This was also one of the reasons why he wanted Shen Yue driven out of the Shen house.

The unknown creates insecurity.

If Shen Yue continued staying in the Shen house, they had no way of ascertaining what it might lead to. It would be better for her to leave. The Shen house only needed to ensure she could live a normal life. Whatever happened to her after that would have nothing to do with the Shens.

Shen Shuangchen had been quietly listening the whole time. Hearing this, he finally spoke up, "When I met Shen Hui she was at the military base on K Country's border. You can't investigate this because your level of clearance isn't high enough."

When his words fell, everyone's expressions became strange. Shen Shuangchen would never say something without confidence.

If they followed Shen Shuangchen's line of thought, given another country was involved, this was not simply a case of babies being accidentally swapped.

Shen Shuangyi had originally thought he was only attending one of Shen Bin and Xu Zhilian's sophistry conferences today, but the way the meeting was clearly developing now exceeded his expectations.

He felt his handsome brain might not be enough.

Wasn't his family simply rich? How was having one more real little sister a problem? Surely it should be that the family nanny took revenge by deliberately replacing the children. Or the two sisters fell for the same fiance and fought violently over the man before discovering the fake was real and the real was fake?

In any case, that was always how it went in the TV dramas he watched.

He'd even thought out that if any man dared try to seduce his little sister, he would definitely let the man know why a monkey's butt was so red.

But Shen Shuangyi imagined 300 kinds of struggles within eminent families and none of them played out like this.

"This... isn't using living people for research against the law? Should we... report this to the police?"

Shen Wu looked at Shen Shuangyi in disgust. His second brother's face clearly had two words written on it: Idiot.

"What evidence? What leads? Just relying on a few words you want the police station that your family runs to handle this? Making reckless reports will only bring danger to our little sisters."

Shen Yue felt Shen Wu's grip on her hand seem to tighten a little when he said "our little sisters".

Shen Yichen let the two bicker for a while before speaking up. "Third brother, reflect what happened upwards, okay? Wasn't your last mission also in K Country?"

Shen Shuangchen nodded.

Shen Yichen turned his head back to Shen Bin. "Things are clear now. Let's end today's meeting here."

As several people got up to leave, Shen Bin inexplicably felt panicked and couldn't help but blurt out, "Don't you... have anything you want to say to us?"

Shen Bin vaguely knew he might have done something wrong, but he also felt he hadn't. Now that everything was laid out, he felt his children should be able to understand him.

But no one made any comment about the "truth" he mentioned. He suddenly felt he was losing control of something.

The few who were leaving heard Shen Bin's words but no one answered him.

Shen Shuangyi pushed Shen Shuangchen's wheelchair while complaining, "When are you going to reflect upwards? If you let your little sisters get bullied to death, how can you still sit there in your wheelchair with face?"

Shen Shuangchen felt a little speechless but wasn't prone to chattering away like Shen Shuangyi. He simply answered, "I'll go report to my superior later."

After a pause, Shen Shuangchen said to Shen Yue, "I've brought your bullet back for you."

When Shen Yue heard this, she knew it was Shen Shuangchen fulfilling the promise they'd made back then. Her third brother was just like that - whatever he promised, he would certainly deliver.

So Shen Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll come find third brother later to get it."

Shen Wu said in disgust on the side, "What's good about that? I have lots more things taken out of meat."

Hearing this, Shen Jize curiously asked, "What things from meat? What's in meat besides meat?"

Shen Wu was rendered speechless. After Shen Yue's training, he had learned not to speak of bloody things in front of Shen Jize, so he could only change his words. "Besides meat, meat also contains tendons."

"Oh, right."

After agreeing, Shen Yue turned to Shen Hui and asked, "Huihui, come with me to get it later okay?"

"Okay."

Everyone babbled on while leaving the conference room, tripping over their words. They left Shen Bin and Xu Zhilian behind them - just as the pair had done all those years ago.

Shen Yichen was the only one who had ever received love, so he was the only one who answered Shen Bin. "When you made your decision back then, you didn't ask their opinion. Now that they're making choices, you also have no right to interfere. Whether it's Shen Hui or Shen Yue, they are both my little sisters. Father, stop taking your anger out on little Yue."

As Shen Yichen spoke, he also walked towards the conference room door.

Suddenly, he turned back. "You two should continue your honeymoon trip. Come back in twenty years."

"Little brothers and sisters, I will take good care of you all."
