Chapter 230 The Scapegoat Daughter 9
That night, Shen Jiechen told her family about what she saw Luo Chen, and emphasized that Luo Chen was dating a rich man. Then she was scolded by the whole family, who said she was shameless and immoral, and that such a thing would be punished by being thrown into a pig cage in ancient times.
In the evening, Shen Haochen and Shen Jiechen had a private phone call, and then the next day Shen Haochen went to see Shen's father and mother.
"Mom and Dad, I think that Luo Chen hit our daughter, and we can't let her fall into depravity like this. We have to save her. How can a girl behave like this?"
Mr. Shen is a traditional man. He believes that his daughter belongs to someone else's family. Since she ran away with a man, it is as if she does not exist in the family. After knowing this, he was just angry. Now when he heard his son say this, he immediately scolded him angrily.
"Why bother with her? She has already flown away. She has never come back in all these years. This family has long regarded her as dead. There will be no such person in the family from now on. I will sever ties with her tomorrow."
Shen's mother is naturally a traditional person. She cried yesterday. She didn't expect that her daughter would be such a shameless person. This is something that she, who has been educated to be a good wife and mother since childhood, cannot accept at all.
When she heard the news yesterday, her first reaction was to distance herself from the matter, otherwise the Shen family's reputation would be ruined. Her two children are not married yet, and she can't let this ignorant little daughter ruin her two excellent children.
"Your father is right. Since your sister has found her own home and doesn't want to associate with us, just ignore her." Mother Shen was not in a very good mood.
Shen Haochen can't let his parents have such ideas. I heard from my sister yesterday that the rich man this little sister is dating is not an ordinary nouveau riche. That handicraft shop is frequented by many hidden bigwigs, and many foreign businessmen also like to buy things there.
That means this boss has a wide network of contacts. If they can get Boss Luo to help introduce them, their company will be able to expand overseas and go public in a few years, so this little girl still has to get in touch with them.
Others may not know, but they, the brother and sister, know that this little sister cares about her parents the most. As long as her parents help her, she will be moved and cry bitterly.
"Mom and Dad, that's not the way to say it. After all, she is our daughter. We never looked for her before because we were starting a business. Xiaojie and I were planning to start looking for our little sister after we became stable, but who knew that we would run into Xiaojie now? How does the saying go, 'You search everywhere but never find someone, but when you find someone, it's all effortless.'"
Shen's father and mother didn't say anything, obviously they were still angry. Shen Haoshen continued to persuade them: "It was because we wanted to start a business that we couldn't let our little sister go to school, so she ran away from home. We were also a little sorry for her.
Now that we have the means, we can bring my little sister back home to feel the warmth of home. She was only 18 years old when she left. She has been alone for so many years and I don’t know how much hardship she has endured. Mom, don’t you feel bad for her?”
Shen's mother was indeed touched, after all, she was the one who gave birth to the child. However, when she thought about how her little daughter's condition would make her unable to hold her head up in front of outsiders, she hesitated.
Father Shen sighed heavily: "You two brothers and sisters should not feel guilty, we are all family, and there will always be sacrifices. Besides, I know your sister, she can't continue her studies. She has been running since she was a child, and she is not likable. She never gives me and your mother her academic results. It's obvious that she didn't do well in the exams and was afraid that we would punish her. Even if she was admitted to a university, it would probably be a fake university, and it would be a waste of money to go there."
Shen Hao deeply agreed, but said: "Although that's what I said, people still need to be taken care of. Dad can't just leave her out like this. You should bring her back. You two old people can decide whether the man is worthy of your trust. If he is, then we can get them married. Mom and Dad, don't you always say 'A harmonious family brings prosperity'?"
When Shen's mother heard this, she thought she could say that her daughter had worked outside before, then found a boyfriend, and brought him back to get married. This way, no one would gossip.
He immediately perked up: "Oh, that's good." He poked Shen's father while saying this.
Father Shen snorted coldly: "What's good about that? Who knows where she hooked up with a wild man? Don't let her become a joke later."
Shen Haochen quickly said, "No, Xiaojie is asking around there. I heard he's a very capable man, and he's very honest, just a little worse than your son."
Father and Mother Shen were amused by their son's reaction: "Go, call your sister and ask her to bring the person back to have a look."
Shen Haoshen said happily: "Hey, I'll go right away."
Shen Jiechen also began to inquire about Luo An's news from various sources.
Luo Chen knew about it but didn't say anything. She wanted to see what this family was going to do.
After Shen Jiechen inquired, she was a little bit unbelieving. It was said that Boss Luo had a sister who was a graduate student at the University of South China and a student of a professor at the Cultural Relics Bureau. She followed the professor to work at the Cultural Relics Bureau and the museum every day.
And this sister turned out to be her younger sister Shen Luochen.
University of Nanhua? Didn’t her mother say it was a fake university and it would be a waste of money to go there? Why was it Nanhua? It was several times better than the university she and her brother attended.
Moreover, Luo Chen works in the Cultural Relics Bureau, which means he has a stable job. I heard that the brother and sister started from scratch and opened this handicraft shop together, which means that his sister also has shares in this shop. And since he works in the Culture and Tourism Bureau, it is very likely that these bigwigs were introduced by Shen Luochen.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiechen felt excited. She had been thinking about what if her sister couldn't control this brother-in-law. Now that she knew the connection belonged to her sister, she didn't have to worry. Wouldn't family members help family members? Besides, there were still her parents. She didn't have to worry about Luo Chen being disobedient.
After finding out everything, Shen Jiechen immediately went to find Luo An: "Boss Luo, I want to see my sister."
Luo An rolled his eyes: "Go home to find your sister, why are you coming to me?"
"Boss Luo, your words are meaningless. Don't play dumb here. You know who I'm talking about. Tell Shen Luochen to come out."
Luo An didn't say anything, just cleaned. Shen Jiechen was very angry at his ignoring attitude.
"Did you hear me? I want to see my sister."
"Go home to see your sister. I don't have your sister here."
Shen Jiechen pushed him in anger and accidentally broke a ceramic vase. Luo An's face turned dark instantly.
"Fifteen thousand, pay the money."
"What kind of junk is this? It costs fifteen thousand!" Shen Jiechen was stunned.
