‘When she reached the Shen residence, it was already past seven.
The living room was brightly lit. Other than Old Master Shen, everyone in the Shen family was sitting on the sofa. Their expressions were ugly!
They ate for more than two hours. It was almost 7:30 pm and they didn’t even have dinner!
Even though she knew that Shen Fanxing did it on purpose, she was still furious!
“Qianrou, go to the backyard and call your grandfather over!”
Shen Fanxing walked to the sofa and sat down. She placed her bag aside and crossed her legs. Her eyes swept across them coldly.
“Let’s talk business? Have you… had dinner?”
Yang Liwei could tell that Shen Fanxing was finding fault with her and smiled warmly.
“Not yet. Knowing that you’re back, we naturally have to wait for you to eat together…”
Shen Fanxing nodded and smiled.
“Oh, I see. But I’ve already eaten on the way here!”
Yang Liwei’s expression changed as she looked at the faint smile on Shen Fanxing’s face. No matter how she looked at it, she was gloating and mocking her!
She clearly wanted to see them waiting for her on an empty stomach!
Yang Liwei clenched her teeth in anger!
Even though she was furious, she didn’t show it on her face. She smiled awkwardly and glanced at Jiang Rongrong and Shen Defan. Although she didn’t say anything, her current expression made people feel that she had suffered a huge grievance.
Yang Liwei knew that her stepmother was in a difficult position.
Even though she hated Shen Fanxing, she couldn’t argue with her.
Jiang Rongrong and Shen Defan hated Shen Fanxing to begin with. What she had to do now was to make Jiang Rongrong and Shen Defan hate her even more.
Fortunately, Shen Fanxing had always been at odds with her family, which saved her a lot of effort.
Indeed, Jiang Rongrong and Shen Defan’s expressions darkened.
“Since you’re not eating at home, why didn’t you tell us in advance? You’re more than two hours late. What… do you want?”
Shen Fanxing glanced at Yang Liwei coldly before saying,
“Who would have thought that you would wait for me to eat?”
“You… Hmph, if Qianrou and your auntie didn’t insist on waiting for you, how could you be so shameless?”
Shen Defan was at a loss for words. After all, in all these years, Shen Fanxing had only returned home a handful of times. Eating at the same table as her made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Besides Qianrou, who in the family wasn’t her elder?
Making her entire family wait for her to eat was indeed unreasonable.
But this time, he had waited for her, and for nothing.
Anyone would be furious.
Hearing that Yang Liwei and Shen Qianrou were waiting for her to eat, Shen Fanxing smiled and glanced at Yang Liwei meaningfully.
“Really? Auntie Yang is really considerate.”
Yang Liwei looked at her in surprise, feeling exceptionally flattered by her sudden gentle voice.
“No, we’re family after all…”
Family.
Shen Fanxing lowered her head and smoothed the creases on her dress, but she smiled silently.
What an ironic word.
At this moment, Shen Qianrou walked in with Shen Shanghua.
Shen Fanxing stood up and greeted Shen Shanghua. He gave her a deep look before sitting on the sofa.
Shen Shanghua’s face was stern as he held his shoulders. He exuded the aura of the head of the family..
