Shen Shiyu pointed at herself blankly. "Me? Is it me?"
Shen Ximan said expressionlessly, "Who else do you think it should be?"
"Just go when she asks you to. Stop being so hesitant!"
Yang Wan whispered, then stepped forward with a sycophantic smile. "Rarely does Mr. Wen think so highly of our Shiyu. She takes her everywhere. You're truly a lucky star for our family!"
"You're overestimating me. It's what friends should do. Or..."
She glanced at Shen Shiyu. "Do you have other ideas?"
"No, no. Don't worry! I'll definitely go!"
She picked up the invitation and all her previous fear was long gone.
"It's on a luxury yacht at Lanshan Lake? I've never been there before!"
Shen Shiyu excitedly shared her joy with Yang Wan.
"I used to ask Dad to take me there, but he never had the chance! Thanks to Ruirui, I can finally have this opportunity. You're so good to me~"
She happily walked over and leaned her head on Shen Ximan's shoulder, her face beaming with joy.
"I'll send the driver to pick you up tomorrow. Dress nicely."
She felt so disgusted that she didn't even want to touch her skin and got up to leave.
Shen Shiyu immediately grabbed her hand, looking embarrassed.
"Ruirui, I..."
"What's wrong?"
"You know our family's situation. To attend such a luxurious event, I must have a few suitable dresses."
Without even thinking, Shen Ximan threw the key in her bag to her.
"You can choose any dress you like from the wardrobe in my apartment. I'll be going back to the apartment to take care of my sister these days, so I won't be staying here much."
Shen Shiyu looked at Yang Wan in disbelief, then turned her eyes back to her. "You're so trusting to let me have the key?"
"We're best friends. What's this?"
She smiled lightly looking at her unpromising appearance. "I trust your character. You won't let me down, right?"
"Don't worry! I'll treat it just like my own home. I'll also ask Butler Liang to clean it every day." The delight in her eyes was hard to hide. She was almost bursting out laughing.
Shen Ximan left gracefully, leaving them space to revel in excitement.
"My goodness! Why does Mr. Wen trust you so much?"
Yang Wan was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Humph~ It's because I can handle her well that she treats me so nicely." Shen Shiyu put her hands on her hips, looking extremely proud.
"I saw a painting at her place last time. It was auctioned for five million yuan and has been left against the wall, gathering dust."
"Five million?" Yang Wan's eyes lit up at the mention of money. "Can we take it back and have a look? Then put it back."
She frowned. "How can we do that? If Ruirui catches us, we'll be in big trouble!"
"Then take me to her place. I've never seen those valuable things before. You know your dad. He never liked buying auction items in the villa. As a result, I know nothing about antiques and paintings."
"When those ladies I often play cards with talk about them, I can't even get a word in. This is such a big drawback!"
Shen Shiyu thought for a while and it seemed reasonable.
"Okay, but you can only go in and look. Don't touch anything."
Yang Wan was overjoyed. "Of course. I'll just take a look and take a photo."
Click. The apartment door was opened.
Shen Yuliang walked in with a heavy head, still drunk.
"Where have you been! You didn't come back all night!"
The person who was just happy now walked over aggressively to question him.
Shen Shiyu didn't bother listening to their argument and went into the bedroom.
"Are you annoying? Get out of the way. I want to drink water."
He staggered to the dining table. Holding the kettle, he couldn't find the cup and mumbled, "Where's the cup!"
Yang Wan was so angry that she walked quickly over and put a glass in front of him.
"The cup can see you but you can't see it!"
"I'm in a good mood today. Don't spoil it."
Shen Yuliang bared his teeth and tilted his head back to gulp down the water.
"What? Did you win the lottery?" she said sarcastically.
"Nonono," he plopped down on the chair and took out a card from his inner pocket. "In this card, burp..."
Yang Wan was almost fainted by his breath and turned her head covering her nose and mouth.
Just as she was about to curse, his words made her overjoyed.
"There are three million yuan in this card that I won from playing cards today."
"Really? Great!"
She didn't care about the smell anymore and hugged Shen Yuliang, giving him a barrage of kisses.
His face was soon covered in lipstick marks.
"What good luck we're having today. Just when one big shot left, now you come with good news." Yang Wan giggled non - stop.
"Big shot? What big shot?" he asked curiously.
"Wen Jinrui! The one who lives upstairs. She just came to give Shiyu an invitation to the luxury yacht at Lanshan Lake tomorrow. She even gave us the key to her apartment! Isn't she a big shot?"
Shen Yuliang was stunned. "She gave the key to Shiyu?!"
"You're surprised too, right! Oh, I really gave birth to a good daughter. She's so capable. She even brought back such a rich benefactor. It's a sure thing that we'll make a comeback!"
"Why did Wen Jinrui give the key to Shiyu?"
He was always suspicious and went straight to the crux of the matter.
Yang Wan looked at her well - manicured nails and said, "She said she's going back to the villa to take care of her sister and asked Shiyu to take care of the apartment here. Hey, what color do you think I should do my nails tomorrow? Blue?"
"Sister?" Shen Yuliang frowned and murmured.
Suddenly, he sobered up.
The memories in his mind resurfaced, leaving him in a daze for a while.
Yang Wan didn't get a response and poked him dissatisfiedly with her elbow.
"I'm talking to you. What are you daydreaming about? Don't tell me you have another woman outside! I've been talking for so long and you don't even respond. Give me your phone!"
Shen Yuliang pushed her away impatiently. "What's wrong with you? I'm thinking about my third daughter, An Ruo!"
The mention of this name immediately took the fire out of her.
An Ruo had been locked in the basement and tortured for so many years. It was something that Yang Wan and Shen Shiyu didn't want to touch or mention.
This was also the reason why she could be domineering in everything else, but was timid and didn't dare to make too many comments on this matter.
She was afraid that Shen Yuliang would abandon them mother and daughter because of this.
She was even more afraid that An Ruo would come in and hinder Shen Shiyu's path.
Yang Wan didn't want any outsiders to get the Shen family's property.
"Why... Why are you suddenly bringing up her matter?"
He looked at her without noticing any change in her expression and just followed his own speculation. "Do you remember the last time I was in the detention center? That day, I saw Wen Jinrui driving with An Ruo in the car. That's why I forcibly chased them on someone else's electric scooter for a long time."
"What?!" Yang Wan was shocked.
"Didn't you say An Ruo was being raised in the Second Master Bo's family?"
Shen Yuliang concentrated on his speculation. "That's the problem!"
