Before Emily could even nod her head in agreement, Second Aunt had already opened her mouth to help her refuse.
Emily was a little surprised. Second Aunt was really going to take her out to buy things? But she didn’t lack anything.
“Second Aunt, there’s no need. I don’t lack anything.”
“Okay, okay. You’re going to study now. What stationery do you need? We have to prepare everything.”
Second Aunt did not allow Emily to refuse. She pulled Emily to a seat and sat down.
It was not easy for her to have a daughter. At that time, she wanted to dress her daughter up beautifully. In the past, when she asked Shen Xu and the others to accompany her shopping, they would hide whenever they could. This made her lose interest every time.
“Second Aunt, there’s really no need to go through so much trouble.”
Emily was afraid of causing trouble for others, so she quickly refused. She was already very grateful that the Shen family could take her in. How could the Shen family spend so much money?
“Yes, yes. In the past, I asked your Fourth Brother to accompany me shopping. In the end, he just found an excuse and ran away. Moreover, there are only a few boys’ clothes that can be changed. What’s the point? When you go to school, Second Aunt will definitely make you look beautiful.”
“Second Aunt, the school has uniforms.” Shen Nan whispered to remind Emily when he saw that she was about to cry.
Unexpectedly, Second Aunt, who had always been gentle, stared at Shen Nan with eyes that told Shen Nan not to be nosy.
Shen Nan instantly felt wronged. It was better for him not to speak.
“Even if the school has uniforms, our Millie still needs the clothes that she usually wears. When the time comes, you have to listen to Second Aunt. No one is allowed to refute.”
Emily was instantly put in a difficult position. She looked at Shen Yu and asked for help.
“Brother…”
“Don’t worry. When the time comes, Brother will accompany you.” Shen Yu gently patted Emily’s hand to appease her.
Emily was even more anxious. She called Shen Yu because she wanted Shen Yu to help her. She did not want Shen Yu to go shopping with her.
The people at the dining table seemed to have heard something big. They all looked at Shen Yu in surprise.
Shen Yu actually took the initiative to go to those noisy places?
“Go, you can go after eating. The two children will be in your hands when the time comes.”
Shen Yan waved his big palm. As long as Shen Yu took the initiative to go out, he could do anything.
“Then I will also…”
“What do you mean? Have you finished your homework?”
Shen Nan also wanted to go, but he was directly interrupted by Third Aunt.
After his mother’s reminder, he remembered that his holiday homework had not been touched.
Shen Nan could not help but speed up his meal. When he thought of so much homework, he instantly had a headache.
“Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you.” Old Lady Shen was afraid that her youngest grandson would accidentally choke, so she hurriedly reminded him.
“Mom, don’t bother about him. This rascal must be thinking that he hasn’t done his homework yet, and now he knows to be anxious.”
Third Aunt looked at Shen Nan with disappointment. She had reminded Shen Nan every day, but Shen Nan never took it to heart. Now that school was about to start, he knew how to be anxious.
“I hate school!” Shen Nan shouted. He put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and hurried upstairs.
“This rascal, are you eating? Is this how I usually teach you?”
Third Aunt was even angrier. Why didn’t Third Brother use as much energy as Shen Nan? Could it be that she really made a mistake at the hospital?
Old Lady Shen shook her head helplessly. Because of Shen Nan, this clown, there was a lot more fun in the house.
Second Aunt picked up a piece of food for Emily and said softly, “Hurry up and eat. After eating, we’ll go out.”
Emily nodded and continued to eat quietly.
When Emily followed Second Aunt to the mall, Emily was even more curious. She looked here and there, her eyes almost blurred.
She finally understood why no one in the family wanted to go shopping with Second Aunt.
Emily didn’t know that Second Aunt, who was so gentle in the family, was so obsessed with shopping. When they walked from downstairs to upstairs, Second Aunt seemed to not know fatigue and soon bought a bunch of things in her hands.
She said that she was bringing her to buy things, but none of the things were hers.
Emily finally smiled with relief. It seemed that Second Aunt had used her as an excuse to bring her out. That was great. She did not have to worry about how to reject it.
“Are you tired?” Shen Yu whispered to Emily.
Emily hurriedly shook her head and looked at the excited Second Aunt in front of her.
