Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Stupid kid, think of a way yourself. Your grandfather is right. If your Fifth Brother doesn’t come back, you don’t have to come back either.”

Third Aunt saw that her stupid kid was looking at her for help, so she spoke unhappily.

​ 

He was so easily taken advantage of. It was time to teach him a lesson.

When Shen Nan heard that even his mother did not help him, he instantly wanted to cry.

In a short while, only Shen Nan and the crying Shen Xue were left in the hall.

Shen Nan saw that Shen Xue kept crying and did not seem to have any intention of stopping. He was also about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Xue.

“Brother Nan, are you blaming me too?”

Shen Xue’s eyes were red from crying. She looked at Shen Nan with a wronged expression. Her appearance was so pitiful.

“Sister Xue, tell me, when Emily first came, did you fall on purpose?”

Shen Nan did not answer Shen Xue’s question. Instead, he asked the question in his heart.

After that incident, he did not like Emily. However, he had said it several times in front of Third Brother and Fourth Brother, but Third Brother and Fourth Brother did not care.

He even had to look at those two people with his heart.

At that time, he did not understand why his brothers were protecting Emily and did not believe his words.

Although he was a little unhappy, he thought about it carefully later. From that angle, it was possible that he was mistaken.

“What?”

Shen Xue looked at Shen Nan nervously. She did not understand why Shen Nan would suddenly change the topic.

Shen Nan kindly repeated his question again.

Shen Xue widened her eyes and a trace of guilt flashed through her heart.

In Shen Xue’s silence, Shen Nan understood.

Shen Nan turned around and left in disappointment.

“Brother Nan, it’s not…”

“Sister Xue, you don’t have to explain. Although I’m young, I’m not stupid.”

Shen Nan turned around and interrupted what Shen Xue wanted to say.

“You repeatedly emphasized in front of me that because Emily came to the Shen family, Fifth Brother changed. You made me unhappy with Emily again and again. When I saw you crying at the door when I returned, you didn’t tell me the reason. You only said that Fifth Brother ignored you because of Emily, but you didn’t tell me the reason. Didn’t you just want me to hate Emily even more?”

Shen Xue was stunned on the spot.

She had thought that Shen Nan was the most innocent person in the Shen family, but now it seemed that she was wrong.

Shen Nan no longer cared about Shen Xue, who was stunned on the spot. He was thinking about how to get Shen Yu and Emily to come back.

Shen Nan left the Shen family’s old residence and was sent to Shen Yu’s apartment by the driver.

This was arranged by the butler.

Shen Nan was a little grateful. Fortunately, the butler knew where Shen Yu went. Otherwise, the world was so big. Where would he find his Fifth Brother?

“Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, open the door. I’m here to apologize.”

Shen Nan mustered up his courage and banged on the door.

There were some things that he had to face.

Shen Nan banged on the door, but the person inside the door did not react at all.

Shen Nan pursed his lips and continued to knock on the door, unwilling to give up.

Not long after, the door was opened.

Shen Nan’s hand that was knocking on the door instantly stopped. Seeing Shen Yu’s cold face, Shen Nan was a little afraid, but he still said, “Fifth Brother, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have listened to Shen Xue.”

Shen Nan hurriedly apologized.

“Shut up,” Shen Yu said coldly and moved aside.

Shen Nan immediately smiled and walked into the house.

Shen Yu was still willing to let him meet Emily. Did this mean that he had forgiven him?

“Don’t speak.”

Shen Nan was about to speak when Shen Yu interrupted him in a low voice.

Shen Nan quickly shut his mouth and followed Shen Yu’s gaze. He saw Emily sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Shen Nan had a bitter expression on his face.

It seemed that his Fifth Brother did not forgive him. If he was not afraid that he would disturb Emily’s sleep, his Fifth Brother would definitely not open the door for him and would definitely not let him in.

Shen Nan had to admit that he was jealous of Emily. Shen Yu had never been so protective of him.

However, Shen Nan did not dare to speak. He was afraid that he would wake Emily up and Shen Yu might even throw him out.

Shen Nan saw Shen Yu walk to the sofa next to Emily and sit down. He looked at Emily quietly and helped her adjust the thin blanket on her body. Then, he picked up a book and began to read. He completely ignored Shen Nan who was still standing.

Shen Nan was about to cry. Did his Fifth Brother not care about him?
