The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 113: Chapter 112 Actually, My Brothers are Very Good to Me Chapter 113: Chapter 112 Actually, My Brothers are Very Good to Me They had thought that after watching the program, they could all go back to their rooms, but Su Yang still had more to say.

“My children. Actually, I watched this program live a few days ago. Although I wasn’t glued to it the entire time, I would take a look whenever I had the chance. So, strictly speaking, tonight was the second time I watched it.”

“While I was watching, my heart was truly touched, which is why I insisted on having you all stay here and watch it with me again tonight.”

“How should I put it? I don’t even know where to start. It seems like everything started to change when Yanyan decided to give up entering the company and stepped into the entertainment industry.”

“Overnight, due to various opportunities, Yanyan suddenly crossed paths with Jinghe. Jinghe began to come home more frequently. Then came Zhirou’s incident.

“The whole family was saddened by this event, and I was struck by it too, but it also had a silver lining because we learned the truth.”

“Then Jingchuan and Yanyan met again while recording the show. Jingchuan didn’t tell anyone about it beforehand; I was originally watching the show live for Yanyan, but to my surprise, I also unexpectedly saw my own son.”

“I know that in the past few years, or even over a decade, the relationship between you brothers and even with your parents has been… very average.”

“But this time, because of Zhirou’s incident and my subsequent illness and hospitalization, I truly felt your concern for your mother. In this program, I also saw Jingchuan’s love and care for his sister.”

“To be honest, your father and I felt very comforted after watching it. So, I hope that from now on, you brothers and siblings can live in harmony with each other, okay?”

Su Yang’s emotions were heartfelt, expressing a mother’s wishes for her children.

However, the interaction patterns that had developed among the brothers over the past decade were well established. Unless someone experienced a sudden change or took the initiative to change like Wenyan, it would be difficult to alter the status quo.

Therefore, even though Su Yang’s eyes were red with emotion, the Shen brothers were unable to empathize fully.

Only Wenyan lightened the mood, “Mom, actually, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Fourth Brother have all been very good to me.”

Then Shen Jingxiu finally said, “Mom, it will be okay.”

Shen Jinghe didn’t say anything.

Shen Jingchuan threw the empty popcorn tube into the trash can and said,
“Mom, everyone has their own life. As long as each of us manages ourselves well, that’s enough.”

At this point, Shen Jinghe stood up, “Mom, I’ve been tired all day; I’m going to my room to rest.”

“….” Su Yang was at a loss for words, “If you’re tired, then go rest. Yanyan and Jingchuan, come with me to the study.”

The family dispersed unhappily. Out of the corner of her eye, Wenyan glanced at Shen Yuan, sensing that he had suddenly aged quite a bit.

Indeed, at such an advanced age, with a career that had reached its peak, material wealth in abundance, and in good health, probably the only thing left to wish for was family harmony.

On the way to Su Yang’s study, Wenyan quickly sent a message to Shen Jinghe.

‘Second Brother, Second Brother, I’ll come to see you later, I have something to discuss with you.’
‘Another day.’
Shen Jinghe replied instantly.

‘I’m exhausted from filming these past couple of days, I’m going to sleep.’
Wenyan felt that he might not be in the best mood, and had wanted to say more.

But the other party immediately sent over a ‘roll’ emoji.

Wenyan: …Alright, it seems his spirit is in no trouble at all.

–
It didn’t take long for Shen Jingchuan and Wenyan to follow Su Yang to her study.

Su Yang gestured for the two to sit down.

She first looked at Shen Jingchuan, her gaze affectionate and somewhat pained.

“Mom’s youngest son has also grown up. You’ve always been a little tyrant, pampered since childhood, but it wasn’t until I watched the show that I realized just how many life skills you had mastered abroad over the years.

“You can start a fire, pitch a tent, chop wood and cook, fish, and even gut a fish. Truth be told, I still don’t have the heart to slaughter chickens or fish, and I’m not sure your dad does either. You also know how to protect your sister.

“I imagine these years away from home weren’t as carefree as your parents thought, right?”

“Mom…” Shen Jingchuan was made somewhat uncomfortable by her words, “Why are you getting so sentimental all of a sudden? These things are child’s play, and there’s no need for you to learn how to slaughter chickens or fish when the vendors at the supermarket and farmers’ market can do that.”

Su Yang smiled, “But slaughtering chickens and fish isn’t the point I wanted to make, I meant to say…”

“I know! But there’s nothing much to talk about.” Real men don’t regard such trivial matters as hardships.

“You surely didn’t invite Wenyan here just to listen to you say this, did you?”

“Of course not. It’s just that seeing the relationship between you two siblings restored, I, as a mother, am very relieved.”

Speaking, Su Yang walked over and sat down opposite them.

“Back when you both had a falling out over that fake, fake Zhirou, to be honest, I didn’t know how to handle it. That girl was just like Yanyan to me, both as dear as my own flesh and blood, and I didn’t know how to balance it all.”

As she spoke, Su Yang took Wenyan’s and Shen Jingchuan’s hands and placed them in her own, holding them together.

“But now, seeing the two of you let bygones be bygones makes me truly happy.”

Wenyan: “…” So there were such incidents in the past, looks like I’ll need to do some digging later.

“Mom, don’t worry! There are no more stumbling blocks on the path of brother-sister affection between me and big brother four; we will get along well from now on.”

“Good!” Su Yang was content, and then turned to Shen Jingchuan, “And you?”

Shen Jingchuan glanced at Wenyan: “As long as she doesn’t make any more unreasonable demands, it’s fine.”

Wenyan smiled, “Let’s not bring up the dark past, okay? I was actually forced back then too.”

After finishing what she wanted to say to Wenyan, Su Yang then kept Shen Jingchuan back alone.

“I heard from Yanyan that you went out of town these days to look for investment. How did it go? Is the matter proceeding smoothly?”

When this topic was brought up, Shen Jingchuan couldn’t help but frown: “It’s okay, I guess?”

Su Yang also frowned, “What do you mean by ‘it’s okay, I guess’? Did you secure the investment or not?”

Shen Jingchuan let out a silent sigh, “I did, but it’s not much.”

“That’s not bad,” Su Yang then smiled slightly, “it seems you do have some connections in the country. How much more do you still need?”

“Still a lot more to go.”

“So you went on a reality show?”

“Yeah, my agent knows the producer of the show, so I got in through the back door.”

“Then the remuneration you’re getting must not be very high.”

“It doesn’t matter, at least it’s making money.”

“How about I invest a bit in you? Why didn’t you come to me?”

“At that time, you were worried about your sister’s affairs, I didn’t want to mention it. But…” Shen Jingchuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, “today, you’re the one who brought it up.”
