Rebirth: She Became a Beautiful and Cool Bigshot
Chapter 187 Cleaner Than Her

Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Cleaner Than Her

Shen Wenhao was puzzled but still rushed home without a break.

He wanted to take down Shen Wenxiu earlier and seize the position of the Family Head of the Shen Family.

However, it wasn’t feasible just by revealing Shen Wenxiu’s illegitimate status.

Having been the Family Head of the Shen Family for three years and holding significant power, Shen Wenxiu might have already known his real background and prepared countermeasures against his identity being exposed.

By exposing Shen Wenxiu in such a manner, the Shen Family would likely be left an empty shell.

...

Shen Wenhao knew that Shen Ci telling him about Shen Wenxiu’s background was intended to use him as a pawn to commit murder.

But he had no choice but to accept it.

As it stood, he was in no position to quibble about this.

Shen Ci sparing him was an act of mercy.

He had to step into this trap.

Moreover, if planned well, he and Shen Ci could both benefit.

So now, the only thing that depressed Shen Wenhao was that, regarding such a significant matter, besides his trusted subordinates, he couldn’t find anyone in the family to discuss it with.

Grandfather was already gone, and grandmother had always been biased towards his third uncle.

His second and third uncles had always had their eyes on the position of Family Head of the Shen Family; these people were foes, not friends.

His father, Shen Zhiwei, was only interested in indulging in pleasures and could not be counted on.

His mother, Xiao Jing...

Like his other siblings, he had previously adored the beautiful and delicate Xiao Jing.

Only because Xiao Jing always held a grudge against his father Shen Zhiwei’s infidelity with Qin Weilan, crying uncontrollably whenever Qin Weilan and Shen Ci were mentioned, they had targeted Qin Weilan and Shen Ci in various ways and sometimes even sabotaged Shen Zhiwei just to vent on her behalf.

In fact, speaking from his heart, at least he himself didn’t really hate Qin Weilan or Shen Ci.

Although he didn’t know how Qin Weilan got involved with Shen Zhiwei, Shen Ci and his mother never coveted the Shen Family’s wealth, a quality much higher than other mistresses and illegitimate children.

Because he felt too sorry for Xiao Jing, he had committed too many unscrupulous acts against Shen Ci...

Now knowing that Xiao Jing had always been betraying Shen Zhiwei, even letting an illegitimate child hold the position of Family Head, he felt nothing but hatred for her.

No, not to discuss his emotions, only to say that Xiao Jing clearly favored Shen Wenxiu, and consulting her... would be akin to suicide.

Shen Wenqiu was also an illegitimate child and now an adversary.

Shen Wenxi lacked sophistication despite his arrogance, and Shen Wenqian was cunning but only in trivial matters, both were of little use.

Always proud of his brothers and sister, Shen Wenhao suddenly felt utterly lonely.

Even lonelier than Shen Ci, whom he had always mocked for having a lowly fate.

No, now Shen Ci’s fate was much better than his.

Although Qin Weilan was a mistress, she only had one man, Shen Zhiwei, which was much cleaner than Xiao Jing.

And now, Shen Ci had Meng Chuyue.

Thinking of the stunningly beautiful Meng Chuyue, Shen Wenhao felt a wrenching heartache, shook his head, pushed aside all redundant thoughts, and started to focus solely on how to take down Shen Wenxiu.

No, if he wanted to succeed in obtaining the position of Family Head of the Shen Family without revealing Xiao Jing’s disgraceful acts, perhaps he should deal with Shen Wenqiu first.

That way, once Shen Wenxiu was toppled, he could ascend in order seamlessly, without the need to fight a fierce battle with Shen Wenqiu.

...

When Shen Wenhao left, his mood was so bad that he didn’t take Su Jinnian with him.

Which suited Su Jinnian just fine.

He didn’t have to work that afternoon and could stay here a bit longer.

Now officially Meng Chuyue’s boyfriend, Shen Ci was no longer wary of Su Jinnian.

Hearing Meng Chuyue say she would teach Su Jinnian how to make a fruit salad, he took on the task voluntarily, "Yueyue, you go take a nap, I’ll teach Brother Su and chat with him about some matters."

"Okay." Meng Chuyue smiled and gently tapped Shen Ci’s wristwatch to express her fondness, then gently said to Su Jinnian, "Brother Su, if you have no plans for the afternoon, why not stay a little longer, and have dinner here tonight?"
