Chapter 72: Chapter 72 - Treat Me To Lunch?

Shen Nan’s face was full of tears. This was really his biological mother. She hit Shen Nan where it hurt the most. Shen Nan felt that he was about to cry. He broke down and said, “Forget it, I’m not going.”

Third Aunt smiled brightly and looked at Shen Nan. She was basically saying, “You deserve it. You only know how to play when you do your homework.”

Shen Nan did not dare to speak. He could only bury his head in his food. He dared to guarantee that as long as he said one word, his own mother would be able to make him feel ashamed.

Emily smiled and very generously placed a small sandwich in Shen Nan’s bowl. She gloated, “Sixth Brother, don’t worry. I’ll bring you back a gift.”

“I thank you.” Shen Nan gritted his teeth and put the sandwich in his mouth. He bit it very hard to vent his dissatisfaction.

Shen Yu did not speak, but the smile at the corner of his eyes betrayed his good mood. He reached out to pinch Emily’s little face and said, “Alright, hurry up and eat. We’ll set off after eating.”

Emily nodded excitedly. The speed at which she ate was obviously much faster.

Second Aunt was silent, but her eyes kept darting around the three children. She then smiled with satisfaction and stood up. “You guys eat first. Since you’re going to the amusement park, I’ll get someone to prepare some food for you.”

“Second Aunt, there’s no need. Lunch is on the house.” Shen Yu gracefully put down the things in his hands and looked at Shen Nan.

Shen Nan suddenly had a bad premonition. He swallowed his saliva and said uncertainly, “Fifth Brother, are you still bringing your friends?”

Emily also looked at Shen Yu and was very puzzled. Could it be that Shen Yu had made new friends when school started? Emily felt that she should be happy for Shen Yu, but she did not know why she felt depressed. She just could not be happy.

Emily did not know if she should ask Shen Yu who else he was bringing. She saw Shen Yu shake his head and softly said, “No.”

After hearing these two words, Emily instantly felt the depression in her heart disappear. She felt much more relaxed, but she was also puzzled. Then, who would treat them to lunch?

Shen Nan quickly asked Emily’s thoughts. He saw the smile on the corner of Shen Yu’s eyes deepen. He teased, “You, you promised Emi before.”

“Yes, Sixth Brother. You said that when my forehead is healed, you would treat me to a hamburger. I’ve been healed for a few days, but you have no reaction at all. Are you trying to renege on your promise?” Emily immediately reacted and echoed excitedly.

Shen Nan slammed the chopsticks on the table in dissatisfaction and said excitedly, “Who went back on his word?!”

Shen Nan’s arrogance was quickly extinguished by his mother’s hands. He felt the strength coming from his back and almost fell on the table. He heard his mother lecture him. “You don’t even have rules when you eat. Who told you to slap the chopsticks?”

Shen Nan felt wronged. Didn’t his mother see that Shen Yu and Emily were ganging up on him now? It was fine if she didn’t help him, but she still wanted to add insult to injury?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“There’s no reason for the host to not go. I’m not going to the amusement park, so the treat has been postponed.”

Shen Nan glared at Emily and Shen Yu unhappily. It was already bad enough that he couldn’t go to the amusement park, but they still wanted him to treat them to a meal. Wasn’t this asking him to just take the money and let the two of them eat? He would not do such a loss-making business.

“School is about to start. Sixth Brother, you’re obviously going back on your word. It’s not like my brother and I didn’t say that we wouldn’t bring you, but you couldn’t go because you didn’t finish your homework. You can’t blame me and my brother. You promised me before, and now it doesn’t count?”

The more Emily spoke, the more aggrieved she became. It was as if Shen Nan had done something heinous.

When Third Aunt saw Emily’s aggrieved look, how could she bear it? She glared at Shen Nan unhappily. She threatened, “You have to do what you said. If you can’t finish your homework, you can’t blame Millie. If you can’t go, you deserve it. Hurry up and give the money to your Fifth Brother. You’ll pay for Millie and the others’ lunch.”

Shen Nan had a bitter expression. She was really his biological mother. She would help outsiders bully him at any time and place. Shen Yu did not want to bring him at all. Don’t think that he did not see the trace of a smile on Shen Yu’s lips after hearing that he could not go?

However, with his biological mother’s words, he could only obediently take out the pocket money that he could not afford to lose. His heart ached terribly.
