Chapter 572 No!
Chapter 572 No!
” Enough!” Madam Zhu couldn’t listen to their argument anymore as she whipped the stick against their skin once again causing the two men to yelp. Then she turned to Madam Huo and ordered, ” Bring me two washboards would you please?”Once Madam Huo nodded and walked away, she turned her attention to her husband and brother in law. ” Now you two, are you going to kneel on the washboards till evening since you are too hotheaded to think straight, this will help you too in calming down. I will leave you two at it, give me a good plan, as for how you are going to solve this mess or else, no one will be worse than me.”
The washboards were brought out and Shen Junxi along with Shen Zizhen were left to kneel on them while Madam Zhu ushered everyone to leave them alone.
” This is all your fault,” snapped Shen Zizhen, he was fat and stout with his entire weight being supported by his knees, he couldn’t help but groan as he angrily huffed at his brother.
” What are you being angry for?” said Shen Junxi as he rolled his eyes. ” What’s there to worry about? I am still the eldest son of the family, and though my authority is not as great as mother’s, as long as I don’t accept that girl, then there is no way that she will be able to take Wan Wan’s position. That spot has always been left for Wan Wan and Wan Wan alone, I will like to see who dares to snatch that spot from my niece.”
Shen Zizhen shot a look at his brother, whose face has twisted so badly that he looked like some evil monster escaped out of hell. ” So, in short, you still don’t want to tell mother about Wan Wan?”
” Who said that? Did you hear me say that?” Shen Junxi sniffed haughtily as he rubbed his waist. ” We are going to tell mother but we won’t do that for now, if we bring Wan Wan to mother at this moment, she would think that Wan Wan is some random girl that we picked off the streets. It’s better to wait and watch her create trouble at least if she kept on creating trouble, she wouldn’t be able to say anything to us later on.”
” And what do you mean by that?” deadpanned Shen Zizhen.
Shen Junxi only smiled mysteriously and winked. ” Just wait and learn little brother.”
Shen Zizhen’s entire body stiffened as goosebumps broke all over his skin. He didn’t have any idea what was going on in his brother’s mind but he did understand one thing and that was—— his elder brother would never let anyone wrong him. Most probably whatever was going on in his head, would surely get him out of the trouble.
” Don’t you dare to pit me, If you do that then I am going, to tell the truth to mother,” warned Shen Zizhen after all he knew his brother the best.
”I won’t,” said Shen Junxi but Shen Zizhen could see that he was looking a bit upset. Immediately his expression turned worse, sure enough, this bast*rd was thinking about pitting him and escaping!

After Madam Zhu was done dealing with her husband and brother in law, both were equally troublesome. She took Su Wan to her room and carefully cupped Su Wan’s hands. ” Wan Wan, don’t you worry. No matter what happens, I am by your side, that girl can try all she wants but in the end, what belongs to you will only belong to you, no one can take it away.”
Su Wan patted the back of her eldest aunt’s hand and smiled understandingly. ” I am not upset aunt, even if grandma wants to dote on someone else, I won’t be upset because of it. As long as I have you all, I will be fine.”
When Madam Zhu heard Su Wan’s sensible words, she got even angrier at her husband and brother in law and what was more this time some of her anger was even directed at her mother in law. Instead of coming to look for Wan Wan, that old woman was doing useless things. Instead of running around after that girl, if her mother in law spent half of the time chasing after her biological granddaughter things wouldn’t have reached this point.
But instead, that mother in law of hers kept herself buried in work and wasted that precious time.
She sighed and shook her head. ” I don’t know what your uncle is thinking, if it was me, I would have introduced you to the rest of the Shen family by now, but your uncles seem to have another idea cooked up in their heads. But don’t worry, once your grandmother finds out that you have forgiven us and now you are willing to be with us, she will definitely spoil you more and kick that fake out of the house.”
Su Wan: “….” No, honestly she was fine. There was no need for them to be so upset about this, after all the original Su Wan has long gone, and she was in her thirties before she died and reincarnated as this era’s Su Wan, thus, she really didn’t care about being spoiled by her grandmother.
Though the Shen brothers didn’t show any excitement regarding Ji Shan’s adoption ceremony, Old madam Shen was preparing for the ceremony in full swing and when the weekend was just around the corner, who knows from where she found out that a prestigious master was coming to the Dong Tong town which was an hour distance from their house. Since she wanted to dote on Ji Shan, she thought that bringing the little girl to be blessed by the prominent master was a must to do.
After all, how many times she was going to adopt a child? It was better to do everything at once to make sure that her granddaughter will have a smooth life ahead. But just as she put forward the suggestion, she was coldly rejected by her son, who only shook his head and spat out a single word that was—- NO.
