Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

“I begged you all to believe me back then, but you chose to suppress the news. The cover-up makes the matter worse! Everyone thinks I seduced the judge at the piano competition!”

“As for the plagiarism incident at the fashion competition, I already told all of you that the design was mine. But Shen Qianrou cried and insisted that she has rushed it out overnight. In the end, all of you chose to believe Shen Qianrou and not me…”

“In the end, I was expelled from school and all of you were ashamed of me! I was thrown overseas for three years and no one cared about me at all…”

Shen Fanxing felt a lump in her throat, but she tried her best to suppress it. Her back was straight although her eyes couldn’t conceal her sadness, they were calm.

“Is it because I didn’t cry and fuss like other girls? That was why I didn’t get your attention and pity? Did all of you think that you’ve done enough and your duty has been fulfilled?”

“But have you ever thought that it was you… Every single one of you who has pushed me into the abyss?”

“None of you lent me a helping hand when I needed it the most. No one gave me a share of the glory and fruits of labor. Yet, you want me to give you a hand when you’re about to hit rock bottom. All of you merely want to squeeze and use up every last bit of my usefulness to you as a family member. In the end, I’m like a candle and my wick has been burned till the end, in order to give light to all of you?”

“How can there be such a selfless act in this world? Don’t treat each other as idiots. Can’t we preserve the last bit of dignity for ourselves?”

Just as Shen Fanxing finished speaking, her eyes swept past Shen Shanghua, who sat in the middle.

He was the person she would spare her last bit of dignity for the Shen family.

If they want this dignity, they should accept it!

Regardless of whether they would or not, she didn’t want to have anything to do with her family any longer.

“I’ll be there during the anniversary celebration… All of you may continue with the family dinner.”

Finishing her sentence, Shen Fanxing pushed her chair away and left the private room.

“Fanxing!”

Shen Shanghua yelled at Shen Fanxing’s back before he chased after her in his wheelchair.

“Grandpa, let me help you…”

Shen Qianrou always acted like a well-behaved and filial granddaughter.

She stood up immediately.

“There’s no need to follow me!”

Shen Shanghua growled and it frightened Shen Qianrou so much that she didn’t dare to move.

Shen Fanxing stomped out of the club hastily. She detested every inch of the club and was desperate to flee.

“Fanxing!”

Shen Shanghua managed to catch up with Shen Fanxing.

“What’s the matter?”

Shen Fanxing glanced at the old man on the wheelchair coldly as she asked. ”

“Are you blaming me?”

His old and feeble voice conveyed a sense of helplessness and weakness.

Shen Fanxing closed her eyes tightly.

“I wouldn’t have attended the dinner tonight if she didn’t use your name… I just want to know… if you wanted me to come tonight…”

Shen Shanghua gave a heavy sigh and went silent for a while. Then, he reached out to hold Shen Fanxing’s hand, his wrinkled and calloused hand still warm.

“I did it for your own good. there are some things…”

Shen Fanxing’s heart sank and turned cold. Her fingers trembled as she tried her best to stop the tears.

“Grandpa, I would rather I received a call, telling me that my engagement with Su Heng has been officially annulled. The Su and Shen family wanted lme to announce that I was the one to break the engagement… They merely wanted to salvage the overall situation. Even though all of us will feel terrible, it’s more merciful than me being here tonight!”
