732 I Don’t Want a Single Relative
“Hanxing, how can you do this?” Shen Yong’s expression turned cold as he tried to persuade her, “you and Sisi are sisters. You should help each other. Sisi’s reputation on the internet has changed, and she’s getting attention. She’s been working hard on her acting recently. Can’t you give her a chance?”
That was nonsense! Shen Hanxing rolled her eyes and asked Shen Yong, “Don’t you have any idea what you’re saying?”
“Shen Hanxing!” Shen Yong was embarrassed and angry, “don’t you dare be ungrateful! Sisi is giving you a chance by participating in the movie you invested in! She’s getting so much attention on the internet now. There are plenty of production teams fighting to get her!” The reason why he was so enthusiastic about this matter was not because of his father’s love. He wanted to pave the way for Shen Sisi. It was just a tiny part of the reason. More importantly, he wanted to use this as an excuse to find a breakthrough from Shen Hanxing. The Shen family’s company was at the heart of the struggle, and it had been challenging for them to make any progress. Even the high-spirited Shen Yong had become old. If this continued, his company and his life’s work would be destroyed. He needed Shen Hanxing’s help but wasn’t willing to lower himself and beg her for help. Therefore, Shen Sisi’s matter was just a stepping stone.
“Since there are so many film crews fighting to get Shen Sisi, just let her go to them,” Shen Hanxing didn’t know what Shen Yong’s motive was, but that didn’t affect her attitude. She said coldly, “The crew I invested in is too small to accommodate someone like Shen Sisi!”
Shen Sisi’s expression darkened as she thought when she heard Shen Hanxing’s firm tone. “What did she mean? Does she despise me? If it wasn’t for the fact that Shen Hanxing’s previous investment in a movie did a huge box office hit and that Zheng Youcai’s reputation as a genius director was so well known, why would she choose the crew that Shen Hanxing invested in her first comeback? She was so popular on the internet now, so it was a win-win situation for her to enter Zheng Youcai’s crew!
Shen Sisi’s eyes turned cold, but she still smiled sweetly. “Dad, why don’t you let me talk to sister?”
Shen Yong was obviously at his limit. He threw the phone at Shen Sisi and snarled, “I think Shen Hanxing doesn’t know what’s good for her! A family with broken bones still has tendons holding it! She doesn’t even want a single relative!”
Shen Yong’s voice was so loud that Shen Hanxing could hear him clearly. She sneered and sat down on a chair by the window. Don’t want relatives? If it were relatives like Shen Yong and Shen Sisi, she would rather not have them. When she was unknown, Shen Yong and the others seemed to be dead and never appeared in her life. Now that she was considered successful, they were like wolves who had smelled blood and swarmed her, wanting to eat her up. Could such a person be considered family? It was even more terrifying than the enemy.
“Sister, please don’t mind what daddy said. Daddy is just too angry,” Shen Sisi held the phone and smiled at Shen Yong. Then, she continued, “after all, this is the first movie I’m making a comeback in. Dad is also giving me a better choice. Sister, don’t blame dad. He just loves his daughter…” Shen Sisi sounded sarcastic, as though she was the only daughter Shen Yong had cared for. Shen Hanxing, on the other hand, was only worthy of being her stepping stone. Even in her biological father’s eyes, Shen Hanxing was only there to help her raise her social status and pave the way for her.
“If I’m not mistaken, you guys are the ones who need my help,” Shen Hanxing chuckled and could not help but ask, “Shen Sisi, do you not know how to speak when you’re asking for help? Or do you just not want to talk to me properly? Do you know what will happen to you if you continue to be so sarcastic?” If Shen Sisi asked for help, she should have the attitude of asking for help. Shen Sisi wanted her help, but she still acted condescending and mocked her. What a joke.
Hearing Shen Hanxing’s words, Shen Sisi clutched her phone tightly. She almost lost control of her expression. It was worse than death for her to admit that she was begging Shen Hanxing. However, she understood if she continued to say things that would make Shen Hanxing uncomfortable, Shen Hanxing might hang up and not pick up their calls.
