Bei Shuo was stunned.

“Shen Su.” She called her name softly.

Only by experiencing it herself could she understand such a state of mind. She understood that what Shen Su said was true.

Shen Su smiled slightly. Her smile was a little bitter. “My brother and sister and I have different mothers. My brother and sister’s mother died of depression because of my mother. My mother didn’t treat my brother and sister well.”

“She’s a kind mother in front of others and a vicious stepmother behind others. That’s why Big Brother ran away from home and Sister was raised by Grandpa and Grandma. Children always like to be with children older than them. I like Brother and Sister very much, but they avoid me. My mother doesn’t allow me to play with them either.”

Shen Su sighed softly. “There are some things that can’t be explained clearly. For example, blood ties. No matter how cold Brother and Sister are to me, I still yearn for them to get along well with me. Hence, I always spare no effort to please them. My sister’s personality should be like her biological mother. She’s gentle and kind.”

“She couldn’t withstand my coaxing and pestering and treated me very well. She would bring me delicious food and fun toys after school, but if my mother found out, she would mock her. I quarreled with my mother a lot because of this. I would go against her when she bullied Sister. Because I always wanted to stick to Sister, I followed her immediately after she was kidnapped. I was afraid that she would be in danger. I wanted to protect her like I did in front of Mom.”

Shen Su stopped.

Bei Shuo said softly, “So, you know how I feel about you.”

Shen Su nodded slightly.

“After that incident, Sister treated me even better, including Big Brother, Grandpa, Grandma, and the entire family. However, 1 don’t want their gratitude. 1 just want them to like me, really like me. Don’t hate me because of my mother. I want to be a real and accepted member of the Shen Family,” Shen Su said softly.

Bei Shuo didn’t know how to comfort her. She held her hand tightly. “Shen Su, Brother and Sister really like you. They’re not just feeling grateful.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shen Su looked at Bei Shuo in confusion. “If it’s gratitude, they can give you money, assets, and keep you far away. In this world, feelings arc the purest. They chose to bring you along not because they’re grateful. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that you’re not Second Senior Brother and Sister Shen Bai’s biological sister.”

“Really?” Shen Su looked at Bei Shuo with uncertainty. Bei Shuo was her best friend whom she trusted and relied on the most.

Bei Shuo nodded. “But if you don’t let go of the thought in your heart, your brothers and sisters won’t know what to do and will gradually distance themselves from you. At that time, not only will you not be able to get the beautiful relationship you want, but they will also distance themselves from you. Believe me, your brothers and sisters are sincere to you, just like you are to me.”

Shen Su fell into deep thought. Bei Shuo wouldn’t disturb her. There were some things that could only be resolved when she thought it through.

“My mother keeps trying to vent her anger because she’s being infamous as a mistress. I don’t understand what she’s trying to do. She said that there’s real love between her and my father. Then what else does she want after getting love?”

“She always despises me for not being a boy and doesn’t want to be on her side. I think if I were a boy, she would probably want to fight for my Big Brother’s position. Fortunately, I’m not a boy, but even so, she still wants to fight for more rights for me.” Shen Su sighed softly.

“Bei Shuo, I’m actually the one who wants to run away from home the most. My mother will never be satisfied with me.” Shen Su lowered her eyes.

This daughter of a wealthy family who was famous for her fiery temper actually had such unknown thoughts.

Bei Shuo shook her hand gently. “Shen Su, don’t think that way. Look at me. I’m my mother’s biological daughter too. But my mother has always stood on Bei Le’s side when Bei Le bullied me. My father and brother are the same. I have my parents and my master to take care of me. But look, I almost didn’t even have a place to stay in the end. If I hadn’t met Brother Mu Ci, I don’t know what would have happened to me now!”

Bei Shuo told Shen Su about her agreeing to the Bei Family’s conditions and marrying a stranger..
