I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating

Chapter 25



Chapter 25

Shen Qingxue spoke again, “Grandfather, even if you remove it from the hot search, it’s still the truth! Sister Qingyue did such a thing, and the entire Shen family is ashamed. If I were Sister Qingyue, I wouldn’t even dare to step out of the house now…”

Shen Qingyue’s face remained calm, “That’s not true. Why wouldn’t I dare to go out?”

Shen Qingxue sneered, “The news has concrete evidence in the form of photos. How can you say it’s not true?”

A smile appeared in Shen Qingyue’s eyes, “Do you need me to investigate for you? Without knowing the truth, you’re defaming and interrogating your own sister. With a sister like you, I truly feel embarrassed for the Shen family. But I can’t blame you for lacking intelligence…”

“You…” Shen Qingxue always retreated in front of Shen Qingyue, but she was never satisfied. Why was Shen Qingyue born standing atop the pyramid while she, as a daughter of the Shen family, had to be constantly compared to her? Thinking of this, she unwillingly continued, “The photos were so authentic. Can you dare say it’s not you? Even if you were innocent on the surveillance, who knows what disgraceful things you did when you were off-camera…”

Clack! Shen Jun slammed the tea cup on his hand and scolded Shen Qingxue, “You’re still so young, who taught you to say such things? Is this how Shen family’s upbringing has molded you into?!”

Shen Jun held the most authority within the entire Shen family, and everyone feared him.

Shen Qingxue was stunned when Shen Jun slammed the cup. If it weren’t for jealousy clouding her mind and the undeniable evidence, she would not have dared to speak in front of Shen Jun… But now, she was completely afraid. “Grandfather, I just spoke impulsively. You know I didn’t mean it… I was also concerned about the reputation of the Shen family…”

Shen Jun snorted, “If you don’t tarnish the reputation of the Shen family, that would be enough even if it’s maintained!”

He continued, “Qingyue returned home last night, I saw it with my own eyes. Do you think I’m also lying?”

With Shen Jun’s words, Shen Qingxue had no choice but to sulk in silence.

Shen Da, who had been watching the whole scene, finally stepped in to defuse the situation, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s not bring it up again. Today, our family rarely gathers together. Let’s talk about something enjoyable.”

Shen Qingyue secretly played with her phone, instructing someone to investigate the matter, then glanced at Shen Da with a mocking look. It was always like this—let the brainless Shen Qingxue speak first, then he would come in as the good person. If he could gain some benefit, that would be great, but if not, he wouldn’t lose anything either. As for Shen Qingxue, she was just a daughter, and Shen Da did not care about her at all. Otherwise, her reputation would not have been overshadowed by the brainless and clueless.

At the dining table, Shen Xiang felt that the atmosphere had eased enough. “Big brother, I asked you to come here today for something… Although it’s embarrassing to ask, I have no other choice. I…”

Shen Qingyue replied casually, “If it’s embarrassing, then don’t say it.”

Shen Jun patted his grandson’s head, “Be polite to your uncle.”

Shen Qingyue responded with a perfunctory ‘oh’.

Shen Xiang’s eyes flashed with displeasure, but he quickly concealed it and went straight to the point, “Big Brother, I lost some money in a business deal recently, and I want to borrow some money from you…”

Shen Jun was straightforward, “How much?”

Shen Xiang immediately said, “Five billion. I promise to pay you back as soon as I have the money.”

Shen Jun did not mind, “I’ll have my secretary…”

“Hold on a moment.” Shen Qingyue spoke up.

Shen Xiang impatiently asked, “Qingyue, what do you want to say?”

Shen Qingyue replied calmly, “I remember the company settled last year’s dividends not long ago, and the money you received was more than five billion. It hasn’t even been a month, and it’s already spent? All of it?”

Shen Xiang avoided eye contact and said, “I invested that money. In such a short time, I lost a lot…”

“What kind of project did you invest in? How did you lose so much in such a short time?” Shen Qingyue leaned on the table, half-smiling, “I know a few lawyers. It seems like you’ve been scammed. I can help you fight the lawsuit for free.”

Shen Xiang knew he had been scammed, but the person had already fled, and it was an international case. Who knew when they could recover the money? Besides, being scammed was a great humiliation for him. How could he possibly admit it?

“I haven’t been scammed; it’s just bad luck… Qingyue, I’m your uncle after all. Don’t you want your grandfather to lend me money?”

“I was just curious. If you weren’t scammed, then that’s great,” Shen Qingyue said, looking at Shen Jun, “Tomorrow, ask a lawyer to draw up a loan agreement and specify the repayment date. If you fail to repay on time, then I’ll take back the shares from Uncle at market price.”

Shen Xiang immediately slammed the table, “Shen Qingyue! What do you mean by that? We’re family. Do you think I won’t return the money?”
