Chapter 246: 215 Family Scandal, Slapping the Face (2nd Update)_1

The remainder of the journey, Su Wanyi finally stopped making a fuss and arrived at the Shen Family’s home quietly.

In a city like Beijing, Shen Ao’s wealth might not be impressive, but if it were in Hua City, he could definitely be called a tycoon.

People like him, who are well-off, often lead a life with a lawful wife at home and mistresses outside, which some deem a normal lifestyle.

This way of living, even if not allowed by law, meant that neither the wife at home nor the mistresses outside would upset the equilibrium unless absolutely necessary.

To put it bluntly, the reason they could maintain such a balanced and stable love triangle was because Shen Ao had enough financial power to support it.

He could satisfy the needs of numerous women at the same time; naturally, no woman would make trouble for him.

But such matters, after all, are family disgraces.

Out of sight, out of mind. For Su Wanyi, who had been married to Shen Ao for decades, she never earned her own money throughout these years; all her expenses were paid by Shen Ao.

The model of their family was traditional: men work outside, women take care of the home.

Shen Ao made the money, and she stayed at home, caring for his parents above and raising their children below. Now, the children had grown up, with two daughters having married off splendidly, leaving only one daughter and one son at home.

Shen Ao knew to come home every month and transfer money on schedule. To Su Wanyi, he was doing enough, and she was quite content.

However, humans are greedy creatures.

These family disgraces, as long as they didn’t come to the notice and sight of those around her, she could still play the part of a loving couple with Shen Ao. But it was too much for Shen to deceive her and let the younger generation of the Su Family see that video.

He had promised to go on a business trip abroad, but instead, he took his mistress to South Island for a vacation. Just for that mistress, he dared to ignore calls from his mother-in-law. That truly was too much disrespect to her, Mrs. Shen.

And this mistress that Shen Ao found this time was a young girl who really knew nothing.

So young, she didn’t believe that the girl could truly fancy an old man like Shen Ao except for his money.

If it were only about money, she, Mrs. Shen, was generous. As long as these young girls knew their place, she would willingly offer some money, bleed a little, and let her husband have his affairs.

But they had agreed: affairs were affairs, they must not catch any diseases they shouldn’t, and above all, everything must prioritize Mrs. Shen.

Shen Ao had agreed to all of it quite readily.

And today, such a big event as her mother wanting to take a family portrait, and, after her mother had been overseas for so long, returning home with her youngest brother, Shen Ao, as Su Family’s brother-in-law, had the audacity not to show up because of his mistress.

If this news spread, where would she, the eldest sister of the Su Family, put her face?

It’s just her luck that she was lecturing Tang Shengyi all the way just now, only to end up being slapped in the face so painfully.

She also felt a bit annoyed with Tang Su for no reason, constantly scrolling through those pointless videos on her phone every day, no wonder her two shops don’t make thirty thousand a month.

Such a profligate daughter.

Upon arriving at the Shen home, Old Mrs. Shen, with a cane and a look of wealth, came out, "Wanyi, have you picked up your third sister and her family?"

"Yes, they are fetching the luggage in the back." Su Wanyi’s face had not yet recovered, but facing Old Mrs. Shen, she still spoke very respectfully.

To say over the years, even though Su Wanyi was already past her prime, she could maintain her position as Mrs. Shen largely thanks to her mother-in-law.

Of course, she had given more in return, knowing that the Shen Family required a son for succession; she gambled everything and dared to try for a fourth child after having three daughters.

If it were any other woman, having already had three daughters, she probably would not be willing to risk having a fourth child just for the sake of a son.

Some with a more fiery temper might even take their husband’s traditional and conservative thoughts online to seek justice from the vast number of netizens and criticize the husband’s family.

Yes, she had to admit, this was a good way to vent, but what about the final outcome?

She might end up with nothing, instead of like now, where she was still Mrs. Shen, living a life of abundant material comforts, receiving monthly transfers that many people couldn’t earn in a lifetime.

So why should she ruin everything she had for a moment of cheap satisfaction?

"We have so many servants at home, why let the guests carry their own luggage?" Madam Shen said with dissatisfaction.

Su Ruoan didn’t mind at all; she walked up carrying her bags and greeted Madam Shen, "Madam, it’s been a long time. I hope you are in good health."

"Thank you, Ruoan."

"Madam, hello." Tang Shengyi also greeted Madam Shen, following Su Ruoan’s lead in calling her Madam.

"Hello, Doctor Tang, welcome to the Shen Family as a guest."

"Thank you, Madam."

"Grandma, this is my cousin Tang Feng, and that is my cousin Tang Su." Shen Yi came up and introduced them to her grandmother.

Madam Shen was also in her eighties this year, and Mr. Shen had passed away nearly five years ago. Over the years, Madam Shen’s health had been declining more and more each year.

She needed a cane to walk now.

And she was prone to forgetfulness; some people she could not remember after not seeing them for a while, let alone Tang Su and Tang Feng whom she hadn’t seen for almost two years.

"Hello, Grandma Shen." The siblings greeted Madam Shen in unison.

"Ah ah ah, good, Tang Su is still so beautiful, and hasn’t Tang Feng gotten even taller?" Madam Shen squinted her eyes, admiring Su Ruoan’s beautiful daughter.

Actually, back in the day when she visited the Su Family to discuss Shen Ao’s marriage to Su Wanyi, she had actually taken a liking to Su Ruoan.

Because even without makeup, Su Ruoan was much prettier than her sister Su Wanyi with heavy makeup, especially those bright, clear, and limpid eyes of hers, along with the upright and honorable demeanor of Mr. Su.

A woman like that, if she could marry into the Shen Family and become the mistress of the Shen house, that would certainly be a blessing for the Shen Family.

However, Su Ruoan had no interest in a businessman like Shen Ao, reeking of the smell of money, and moreover, she was a perceptive and intelligent woman. After Madam Shen had a short private word with her, Su Ruoan instantly realized that Madam was taking an interest in her.

She straightforwardly declined Madam’s kind intentions.

She even said that her sister was the most outstanding woman in the Su Family.

Knowing she could not get what she desired, Madam had to let it go.

But perhaps it’s because she had grown old and her mind was not as sharp anymore, that several years ago, when her husband died, she mentioned this in confusion to her old sisters, and Su Wanyi got wind of it.

Then, she noticed that Su Ruoan’s family hadn’t come to Beijing for Chinese New Year for several years.

Mrs. Su also went abroad with her younger son, and Su Wanyi, playing host, invited her siblings for the reunion dinner but never called for Su Ruoan. If Madam inquired, Su Wanyi would simply reply, "My third sister has to work."

"Come inside quickly, the guest rooms are all ready." Madam beckoned them into the house. "Let us know if you need anything else or if there’s something missing later."

"Thank you, Madam, after you." Su Ruoan stood there, letting Madam go in first.

"All right, all right."

Tang Su and Tang Feng were at the back. Tang Su’s phone rang; it was a message from Lu Han saying he had arrived home, notifying her of his safety and inquiring about her situation.
