Chapter 57: Call off the Engagement?
Shen You looked at Li Ru and then Shen Jiao.
“What? The whole family is mobilized early in the morning?” Shen You said and then looked at Li Ru again.
Li Ru hesitated for a moment and then looked at Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao crossed her legs and leaned against the sofa. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. “I heard that the matter about your engagement last time wasn’t settled.”
“Mom brought us here early this morning to ask for a definite answer from you,” Shen Jiao said, as if she was Li Ru’s spokesperson.
Shen You looked at Shen Jiao and sneered. “What? It’s your turn to decide my marriage?”
“No! Xiao You, you have misunderstood!” Li Ru quickly explained.
“Xiao Jiao cares about you,” Li Ru said as she stood up and walked to Shen You’s side.
She held Shen You’s hand and said, “The Shen family and the Zhao family already have an engagement. Recently, it so happened…”
As Li Ru said this, she paused for a moment and then said, “I saw that you and Zhao Nan got along quite well, so I was thinking to quickly finalize the marriage!”
“You saw?” Shen You suddenly felt a little funny, “From spy?”
“Shen You, why are you talking in this manner!” Shen Jun suddenly became angry, “Don’t be so shameless!”
“If not? Why didn’t I know that I and Zhao Nan are getting along quite well?” Shen You snorted and asked.
“Moreover, I have never agreed to get engaged with him!” Shen You emphasized her position again.
“If you really need someone to represent the Shen family to get engaged with the Zhao family, then I think Shen Jiao is the most suitable candidate!” Shen You directly expressed her opinion.
“No!” Shen Po and Shen Jun spoke in unison again.
Shen Po’s gaze revealed dissatisfaction. He walked towards Shen You and stared at Shen You from top to bottom. “As a member of the Shen family, you should shoulder your responsibilities!”
Shen You suddenly found it funny. “Since when did the Shen family treat me as a member of the Shen family?”
“You!” Shen Po was a little anxious and did not know how to wake up Shen You’s stubborn mind.
Shen You waited quietly, waiting for Shen Po’s anger and waiting for the system to change her fate for her!
Li Ru looked at Shen You and knew that she could not persuade her daughter no matter what. However, the Shen family needed to get married to the Zhao family as soon as possible so that the Shen family could get through this difficult situation.
She could not tell any outsider about this. Other than her children, she did not tell anyone else.
Initially, Li Ru had wanted Shen Jiao to get engaged to Zhao Nan instead of Shen You. After all, Shen Jiao and Zhao Nan were childhood sweethearts. They knew each other well and had a strong foundation in their relationship.
Moreover, before Shen You returned, everyone was certain that Zhao Nan’s engagement was with Shen Jiao. However, now that Shen You was back, everything was different now!
Li Ru took a deep breath and held Shen You’s hand again. “Xiao You, listen to Mom…”
Shen You pulled Li Ru’s hand and said, “Mom, you listen to me first!”
Li Ru frowned, but she knew that she couldn’t force it.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, “Okay! You go first!”
Shen You took a deep breath and said, “Ever since I found out that Zhao Nan and I were engaged, I had tried to get close to him.”
“But, I think you all know the outcome.” Shen you smiled bitterly.
“The truth is Zhao Nan doesn’t like me! The person he wants to get engaged to is definitely not me!” Shen you said firmly.
“So, Mom, no matter what the reason is for urging me to get engaged…” Shen You said firmly, “Getting me engaged to Zhao Nan might be a backfire!”
Li Ru frowned as she listened to Shen You. She thought about it carefully and realized that it might really have such an effect!
Suddenly, Li Ru was a little uncertain. She turned her head to look at Shen Po.
Shen Po listened to Shen You’s words and was also a little hesitant. He knew very well what this engagement meant to the Shen family.
However, as the eldest son of the Shen family, the Shen family’s bloodline could not allow any mishaps to happen! Shen Po was about to say something when Shen Jun walked over.
He said to Li Ru and Shen Po, “Mom! Brother! I think Shen You Is right!”
“If Zhao Nan really dislikes Shen You, then it’s better not to get engaged!” Shen Jun said seriously.
“Why don’t we call off the engagement?” Shen Jun suggested.
To Shen Jun, the engagement was like a time bomb that could explode at any time.
And the person injured in the explosion might not be Shen You, but migh be Shen Jiao! No matter what, Shen Jun could not let such a thing happen!
