Chapter 1401 - Nothing More Than A Plaything

"Why would he go to Kingstown for no reason, especially without a word to the family?" Old Mrs. Shen sounded very displeased. "Are you telling me he went to look for Ye Youyou?"

Shen Manting nodded her head. "I guess so."

"That's probably a good thing. The sooner he divorces her, the sooner I can make arrangements for your marriage." As Old Mrs. Shen spoke, she continued spooning food into her mouth. It was as if what she said was no big deal.

Yu Lili subtly paused in the act of eating and looked up at Shen Manting, who had lowered her head. Yu Lili wasn't sure if she saw it right, but it was as if Shen Manting had an odd expression on her face.

"Alright, I'm done eating." Shen Manting stood up.

Old Mrs. Shen looked at her bowl. With creased brows, she asked, "That's all you ate? Even a cat eats more than you do!"

"Yeah. I haven't been feeling too well recently. I don't have much of an appetite. I'm going back to my room to work, Granny." With that, Shen Manting turned to leave.

Old Mrs. Shen was displeased and retorted, "Work, work, work! All you know how to do is to work! You'd better keep an eye on Luo'an. That child is running amok. The research facility has been calling for him all day! Tell him to be careful. In this household, you're the only one he listens to."

Shen Manting felt as if this statement was out to ridicule her.

Shen Luo'an listened to her? How was that possible…

Shen Luo'an only ever listened to himself. Everyone else was a plaything to him. That was the case with her, and so was it with Ye Youyou. She still nodded her head and replied as she turned to head to her room, "Got it."

Old Mrs. Shen gazed at Shen Manting and let out a sigh before saying, "Back then, when I saw that child, I felt that her fate was intertwined with this family's. I never expected it to be with Luo'an. Oh well, after all, Luo'an and Ye Youyou aren't destined for each other. I can only arrange for Shen Manting to marry Luo'an now. Thinking about it, that kid is still pretty lucky."

The child's fate carried a dark aura. This dark aura affected not just her but also those around her.

Once this dark aura was overcome, the Shen family would prosper. In addition to the Shen family, Shen Manting herself would prosper too.

If it wasn't overcome, Old Mrs. Shen knew the consequences would be dire. No matter how she tried, she couldn't tell exactly what kind of fate awaited the child. She had absolutely no idea whether or not Shen Manting's dark aura had been conquered.

It probably had been. After all, previously, when she attempted suicide by swallowing the cleaning agents, that was considered a huge obstacle to overcome.

Old Mrs. Shen frowned and lowered her head to continue eating.

When Wen Fenglin heard her words, he asked, "Isn't that girl considered your granddaughter? If she were to marry your grandson…"

"They've already been together," Old Mrs. Shen said. "I have no idea what possessed Luo'an. In the past, he was so insistent on marrying Ye Youyou. After the wedding, he couldn't even be bothered with her at all and ignored her all the time. Later on, he got together with Shen Manting. This matter was blown up publicly a while back. Yu Lili should be familiar with it."

Yu Lili nodded her head when she heard that. "I am."

"Exactly. Forget it, I'm sure life has its plans for them," Old Mrs. Shen said. "We'll wait for him to say something. Let's continue eating."

Yu Lili thought otherwise. She had heard from Ye Qianqian that Shen Luo'an hated Ye Youyou vehemently. His attitude toward her was as vicious, so why on earth would he go to Kingstown?

She thought she better give Ye Qianqian a call to warn Ye Youyou.
