Mrs. Shen subconsciously touched her empty neck, and fiddled with her hair to hide her panic.
âThere are many fake pearls, so I bought them without taking a closer look.â
Lan Heng muttered, âI think her clothes are fake, too.â
Feeling the gaze of the crowd, Mrs.Shen, who is accustomed to being high in front of Shen Chi, ran away.
Mrs. Shen entered the rented house on foot in a solemn dress, but the dilapidated walls were incompatible with the glamorous appearance, which seemed to fall out of a false dreamland.
She opened the rusty iron door. She used to live in a villa and she couldnât imagine that she would one day live in a small room of 20 square meters, enduring the humid and cold air, without any servant to help her.
Mrs.Shen sat in the chair and took off her makeup in front of the mirror. She was even reluctant to use another make up cotton, and squeezed out skin care products from the bottle cap.
âI saw Xiao Nie at the banquet today. She used to give me an assistant. She didnât even dare to lift her head when she saw me.â Mrs.Shen wiped her well-maintained face with a tissue, âNow I can wear a proper set .â
Her tone was tinged with subtle jealousy, and she couldnât bear what she couldnât look down on, and climbed onto her head. âEverything revolves around her, but I am marginalized. How can an assistant wear a high definition dress?â
Father Shen looked at Mrs.Shenâs inferior earrings and he said, âYou will not interact with your friends in the past. Xiao Shu still has to pay the exam fee, our family canât afford it. âFor additional expenses, the water and electricity for this month have not been paid.â
âIf you donât interact with them, will you interact with the commoners next door? I borrow rice and oil every day, and I havenât changed my clothes.â Shen Fu frowned, âDo you know that I canât even see Shen Chi today? Ironically I have no money to buy jewelry.â
Father Shen was helpless: âWhy do you care about him?â
He did not approve of sending Shen Chi to a border town at the beginning. It was not that the Shen family could not raise two children. Gossip was dropped for no reason. Mrs.Shen insisted that he should not stop her. His heart didnât like Shen Chi either.
Itâs just that if Shen Chi hadnât been sent to the border town, he would still be able to help them now. Unlike Xiao Shu, who couldnât even work,he would push three blocks and four blocks when he went out. For fear of affecting his studies, it would be better if he didnât pick him up at the beginning.
Mrs. Shen was cold, âYou raise a female star outside every day. You donât know how bad Shen Chiâs temper is. You donât know how it feels for others to talk behind your back. All the people around me look at me with judging eyes. Try being in my place for once.
When the Shen family was beautiful, Shenâs father was outside and unable to go home. All her hopes were pinned on Shen Chi, but the defective products at the bottom were ultimately defective.
âI donât want to fight with you.â
Father Shenâs voice brought a hint of anger.
Mrs.Shen didnât dare to say any more, and instead spoke, âI believe we wonât suffer forever. According to the Fortune-teller we would be rich.â
Although Father Shenâs past lace news continued, she followed Shenâs fatherâs words, because she had never suffered. If it hadnât been for Shenâs family, she would live a life of a celebrity who didnât touch work with her fingers. She knew how to stand up. Hope is all tied to Shenâs father.
ââRich ?â
Father Shen shook his head. When Shen Chi was born, he spent a lot of money to hire a famous fortune teller, but now their situation is not related to the richness of the money. He regrets that he had spent the money on those things.
âYou can start a business from the northwest every year. Now that you have some experience, why canât you start over again? Let those who look down on us look at the Shen family or the Shen family who canât climb the mountain. .â
Knowing that Shenâs father has been depressed since the Shen family went bankrupt. He was worried that he would not have the heart to come back and his tone was eagerly motivated,
âNo more, Northwestern border trade.â
Father Shen was moved by complacency, âBut a friend invited me to be an executive, so I can make a small business even if I save enough money.â
Seeing that father Shen had not been devastated, Mrs.Shenâs heart was relieved. She told herself that her current life was only temporary. She chose a good husband for herself, so that she could live a normal life even if she didnât work. .
Suddenly, Mrs. Shem asked Father Shen who was reading the evening newspaper.
âWhy are you still reading the news of the new district?â
Mrs.Shenâs temple jumped violently, and now she has a headache when she hears the word âNew Districtâ. Originally, Shenâs business difficulties can still endure for two years, and if it fails, the assets will be transferred abroad, and the bankruptcy of the company will not prevent them from enjoying life.
Besides, the investment in North directly caused the Shen family to be heavily indebted, and the assets under the name were volatile, and the land could be sold cheaply.
If it werenât for Yanâs family failure, she would have to wonder if Yanâs family had deliberately released the news of the establishment of a new district
Mrs. Shen didnât take it to heart: âIsnât the new area set in Nanwan?â
The land price of Nanwan has doubled three or four times, and her eyes are hot when she sees it, but it is a pity that they put their on the unlucky Northern Suburbs.
Father Shen squeezes the newspaper: âNorthern suburbs will also set up a new district.â
Northern?
When she heard this, she stood from her chair in shock. They just sold the land in Northern Suburbs yesterday, and she looked at the newspaper.
The newspaper clearly stated that a new district will be opened in Northern at the end of the year to promote radiation in remote areas.
Mrs. Shenâs body is shaky. If they can wait one more day, the land they hold will double in value, and the Shen familyâs debt will be solved by then.
But they canât wait to sell the land in the north at a low price. Not only did they not get investment income, but they got heavy debts.
At this time, Mrs.Shenâs heart is particularly complicated. It is she who treats the gentlemanâs belly with a small heart, and watches the opportunity that God gave to the Shen family slip.
Remorse, unwillingness and even resentment are all intertwined on her face, which is more gloomy than knowing that she is bankrupt.
Shen Fuâs throat spilt blood,but she managed to hold on to prevent herself from falling.
She had no idea in her mind and looked at Father Shen. Father Shenâs hands couldnât help shaking while holding the newspaper. His eyes were fixed on the words Northern Suburbs New Area, and his eyelids fell on the floor.
Mrs.Shenâs brain â has only one thought.
Itâs over.

Shen Chi finished dinner and arrived at Huating, and opened the door to reveal a warm light. The man sat on the sofa and read a book, with fresh baked cakes on the table.
He sat next to Yan Xue Xiao, and the soft red-haired man rubbed on his arms, like an obedient pup.
âAre you happy to win the championship?â
âI saw Mrs.Shen today.â The boy lowered his amber eyes, âI tried desperately to get her approval, but now I can see her again without feeling anything. Iâm just wondering why she would wear such a conspicuous fake.â
The red hair was gently touched by his fingertips, he lowered his head to hide the red eye circles, and just caught a glimpse of the book on the sofa that made his blushing heartbeat.
As if detecting his gaze, Yan Xue Xiao lowered, â finished.â
âDo you want to check it?â
