The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1239 A daughter should be her own flesh and blood.

Shen Xuening said, "There are many oddballs in the world. We are not oddballs, so how can we understand their thoughts?"

"Sister is right," Shen Yingying asked. "The court hearing is the day after tomorrow, are you coming?"

Shen Xuening replied, "Yes, I hope the verdict will be reached directly in court."

Shen Yingying said coquettishly, "Sister, you're so good to me."

Shen Xuening said, "You are my own sister, how could I not care? Besides, there are too many people like Yan Mei. When we take action to punish them, we are also contributing to society."

Shen Yingying immediately chimed in, "Sister is right."

Shen Xuening said with concern, "Alright, you should get some rest. Your older sister will handle everything else. You just need to focus on your studies."

Shen Yingying smiled and said, "Goodnight, sister."

Shen Xuening replied, "Good night."

Just after hanging up the phone, Shen Xuening received another call from her lawyer: "Ms. Shen, the other party says they hope we can reach a private settlement. Please feel free to name your terms."

Shen Xuening stated firmly, "I will not accept a settlement."

The lawyer replied, "Understood, Mr. Shen."

……

The next day at noon, Han Yifei returned to City A, partly because she missed Shen Baohong, and partly to avenge Shen Yingying.

When Shen Xuening was talking to Han Yifei about work, she mentioned that Shen Yingying had been slandered. Han Yifei also cared a lot for Shen Yingying, so she decided to personally "avenge" Shen Yingying.

"Xue Ning, did you miss me?" Han Yifei gave Shen Xue Ning a big hug.

"I miss you. A day apart feels like three autumns." Shen Xuening gently patted Han Yifei's back. "Why do you look thinner?"

"I'm on a diet." Han Yifei let go of Shen Xuening, looked down at herself, and even twirled around like a flower. "I'll look better when I'm thinner, right?"

Shen Baohong immediately said, "You're already very thin, why are you still trying to lose weight? Don't lose any more, it's bad for your health."

Shen Xuening echoed Shen Baohong: "Yes, so skinny, like a bamboo pole, what's so good about that? Girls should be shapely and well-proportioned, that's true beauty."

Han Yifei looked at her somewhat flat chest and said, "That's true, but Xue Ning..." She revealed Shen Xue Ning's arm and whispered in Shen Xue Ning's ear, "Do you have any ways to enlarge your breasts?"

Shen Xuening chuckled: "Eat...papaya?"

Han Yifei asked skeptically, "Will it work?"

Shen Xuening shook her head and said sincerely, "I haven't tried it, so I don't know."

"Then let me eat it," Han Yifei said. "No, you have to help me think of a way. I must get back in shape."

Shen Xuening said, "I'll figure something out for you after I get married. I have too many things to do right now and can't be in two places at once."

Han Yifei didn't necessarily need to get breast augmentation right now. Seeing that Shen Xuening had agreed, she felt relieved: "Anyway, it's fine as long as you agreed, but it has to be done before my wedding."

Shen Xuening had already consummated her marriage with Qin Zizhou, so she naturally knew how much men liked those things: "I understand, I understand,"

After whispering to each other for a while, Han Yifei turned her attention to business: "What are you doing right now?"

Shen Xuening pointed to the table: "They're writing invitations and sending them out."

"Wow, your grandfather wrote it himself?" Han Yifei looked over and immediately saw the sprightly old man Qin. The old man valued this wedding, but in ordinary families, Qin Zizhou and Shen Xuening would write it themselves. He would only write it for important guests, otherwise his body couldn't handle it.

Shen Xuening led Han Yifei to Grandpa Qin and said, "Grandpa, this is Han Yifei. She's been a close friend of many years and is now working as a lawyer at Xifulai."

Han Yifei greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa."

Grandpa Qin smiled slightly and reached out to grab a handful of wedding candies for Han Yifei: "Little Han, have some wedding candies."

Han Yifei accepted the wedding candy with her hands, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Qin was busy with the invitations and didn't say much to Han Yifei, so Shen Xuening pulled Han Yifei aside and said, "I need to write the invitations now. Let my cousin show you around."

Han Yifei shook her head: "No, the court hearing is tomorrow. I'm going to the school to find Yingying. I've already told her, and she'll be waiting for me at the school gate in a bit."

Shen Xuening knew that Han Yifei had come to City A ahead of time partly because of Shen Yingying, so she didn't say anything more: "Then let your cousin go with you."

Han Yifei looked at Shen Baohong: "Doesn't he need any help?"

Shen Xuening said, "No need now. He has already filmed this part. I'm going to watch the court hearing tomorrow, so there's no need to film there. You two can go on a date."

"Haha, okay, let's go check it out first." Han Yifei pulled Shen Baohong away.

Shen Xuening escorted the person to the entrance of the classical manor, and then returned to continue writing the invitation.

Qin's mother came over, looked through the invitation written by Shen Xuening, and said, "Xuening, you're in W City now. Besides your close friends, do you have any other friends in A City?"

Her meaning was quite clear: she wanted to know if Shen Xuening could afford to invite her former family members.

Shen Xuening didn't hide anything and said directly, "Mom, Shen Junyu and Shen Junqi will come to my wedding, but no one else will."

Qin's mother was somewhat surprised: "Your relationship with them has improved?"

Shen Xuening explained, "I guess so. That day, Shen Junyu took the initiative to ask me about my wedding, and I told him that marriage is a joyous occasion, and as long as he comes with blessings, I welcome him."

Qin's mother understood Shen Xuening's thoughts: "Mom understands."

Shen Xuening tentatively asked, "Will Mom be unhappy?"

Qin's mother shook her head: "No, as long as they're not here to cause trouble and are genuinely offering you their blessings, Mom will welcome them."

Shen Xuening said gratefully, "Thank you, Mom."

……

Shen Junyu's home.

When Shen Junyu got home from get off work, hoping to ease tensions, he asked, "Mom and Dad, Xue Ning is getting married. Are you going?"

"Holding a wedding?" Mr. Shen was quite surprised. "Who did she marry?"

Shen Junyu raised his eyes in surprise: "You don't know who she married?"

Mr. Shen replied matter-of-factly, “I don’t know. She doesn’t recognize us anymore, so why should I care about her? Besides, she stole the Shen family business.”

Shen Junyu spoke up for Shen Xuening: "Dad, we were the ones who wronged her first."

Mr. Shen frowned: "Don't say these things, I don't want to hear them."

Shen Junyu took a deep breath. He didn't know what was wrong with his parents; they were incredibly stubborn about this. He didn't want to try to persuade them anymore. He got to the point: "Xue Ning is going to marry the eldest son of the Qin family. Do you know the Qin family? The Qin family, the richest family in the country."

Mr. Shen was extremely surprised: "Did you hear that right? How could that country girl, Shen Xuening, possibly marry into the Qin family, the richest family in the country? Impossible!"

"Really, I've received all the invitations." Shen Junyu took the wedding invitations out of his briefcase.

Mr. Shen snatched the book away, flipped it open, and saw that the gold-embossed lettering was delicate and beautiful, clearly the work of a woman: "I recognize this symbol; it's the Qin family crest. Did she really marry into the Qin family?" He was completely baffled. "How could the prestigious Qin family marry Shen Xuening?"

Shen Junyu said, "Dad, Xue Ning is a good person, it's just that you won't admit it."

"Wait a minute." Mr. Shen looked at Shen Junyu. "Why would she give you an invitation? Have you two made up?"

"Don't even think about it." Shen Junyu said without hesitation, "I begged for the invitation. Now the gap between us and Xue Ning is getting bigger and bigger. It's impossible for us to make peace."

Reluctantly, Shen's father returned the invitation to Shen Junyu. Back when he was in business, such an invitation from the Qin family was considered priceless; he had always dreamed of having one. "Since she invited you, you should go. By the way, where's your brother?"

Shen Junyu said, "My younger brother will go too."

Father Shen said, "Then you should be cautious and discreet when you get there. To be honest, I think it's better if you don't go, otherwise you might encounter some bad things."

Shen Junyu knew what his father meant: "Dad, even if we encounter those things, it's what we deserve."

Seeing that Shen Junyu had his own ideas and wouldn't listen to him, Shen's father said, "Alright, I won't say anything more."

"Then I'm leaving." Shen Junyu took the invitation and went back to his room.

Shen Junqi returned quickly and was overjoyed to hear that Shen Xuening had given Shen Junyu an invitation. She immediately knocked on Shen Junyu's door: "Brother, are you there?"

"Yes." Shen Junyu opened the door. "You just got back? Have you eaten?"

"I went out for a drink with a friend," Shen Junqi asked eagerly. "Where's the invitation? Let me see."

Shen Junyu opened the drawer and handed the invitation to Shen Junqi: "Take a look."

Shen Junqi immediately opened the invitation and was overjoyed after reading the contents: "Great! This time I can finally go to Xue Ning's wedding openly and legitimately."

Shen Junyu smiled and said, "Judging from your expression, you seem happier than if you were getting married yourself."

Shen Junqi said, "Of course! My little sister, whom I've watched grow up, is getting married. I'm definitely happy."

Shen Junyu said with regret and remorse, "If only we had realized this problem sooner."

Shen Junqi's smile froze slightly: "Yes, we were wrong. Blood ties are nothing compared to the bond of living together day and night. If we had done things differently back then... Never mind, it's too late to say anything now. Let's see what happens in the future."

Shen Junyu patted Shen Junqi on the shoulder: "Tomorrow we'll each go buy an outfit. It's my sister's wedding, we can't dress too shabbily."

Shen Junqi readily agreed: "Okay."

……

Shen Nana saw Liu Juan's post on WeChat Moments and learned that Shen Xuening was getting married. The invitations were sent out, and the happy news of Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou's marriage was announced.

She stared at her WeChat Moments for a long, long time, until her eyes became sore before she blinked: "So this is what a true prodigy looks like. Even if she's temporarily fallen from grace, she can still rise back to the top on her own!"

She has now experienced the harsh realities of society, matured a lot, understood many principles, and become much more composed.

As she looked at the house, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She was now living alone in her current house, having basically cut off all contact with the Shen family, and could be considered a complete loneliest person.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Nana suddenly took a deep breath and dialed Liu Juan's number.

Liu Juan looked at the incoming call but didn't really want to answer, so she pressed the mute button, thinking that she would only answer if Shen Nana called her again.

Shen Nana waited until the call automatically ended before stopping: "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been greedy for wealth and glory. If I hadn't left home, wouldn't I be all alone now?"

Thinking of this, she called Liu Juan again, wanting to apologize and repent.

When Liu Juan saw Shen Nana calling again, she hesitated for a moment before answering: "Hello."

"Mom." Shen Nana's "Mom" was clear and loud. In Liu Juan's memory, Shen Nana had never called her that before.

Liu Juan did not respond: "Nana, you are not my daughter anymore, please call me Auntie."

With a sob in her voice, Shen Nana said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. Please don't distance yourself from me, or I'll have no family left."

Liu Juan hardened her heart: "Nana, you made your own choice, so don't regret it now, understand?"

Shen Nana fell silent. Yes, she should swallow the bitter pill of her own choice: "Mom, even if you don't accept me, I still want to apologize to you. I'm sorry, I was ignorant before and did things that hurt you. I understand now."

“Nana, it’s good that you understand. Now you should focus on your work and live your life.” Liu Juan paused for a moment. “Don’t call me unless it’s absolutely necessary, otherwise I’m afraid Xue Ning will be unhappy.”

Shen Nana's heart sank: "Mom, now I have nothing but you. I have no other requests, I just ask that you answer my call so I know that I still have someone in this world to confide in, otherwise I will have no one to rely on."

Liu Juan felt a pang of sadness; after all, this was the daughter she had raised for over twenty years: "Where are your parents?"

Shen Nana snorted: "We fell out a long time ago. I live alone now and have basically cut off all contact with them."

Liu Juan scoffed: "Your parents are as heartless as ever."

Shen Nana chimed in, "Yes, they are heartless people."

Liu Juan said, "When they took you away, they cherished you like a precious treasure, but now... they're ignoring you. Xue Ning is the same; she raised her daughter for over twenty years, and now she just abandons her like that."

Shen Nana said, "Mom, they are cold-blooded animals. They only care about themselves. I've seen it clearly now."

Liu Juan quickly said, "Don't say that, they are still your parents."

Shen Nana obediently replied, "Mom, I understand."

"Auntie has some things to take care of here, so I'll have to go now," Liu Juan said, about to hang up the phone.

Shen Nana quickly said, "Mom, you and Dad take care of yourselves."

Liu Juan hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.

Liu Juan told Shen Dong about Shen Nana's phone call to her.

Shen Dong was quite surprised: "She actually greeted us? Did you hear that right?"

"No, my hearing is perfectly fine now, how could I have misheard?" Liu Juan still finds it incredible that Shen Nana seems to have really grown up a lot.

"No matter what he says, she's no longer our daughter. You can't do anything to betray Xue Ning," Shen Dong instructed.

Liu Juan couldn't help but push Shen Dong: "What are you talking about? How could I betray my own daughter?"

Shen Dong was slightly relieved: "That's good."

"Okay, I'll go prepare some things to take to my daughter in City A in a few days," Liu Juan said as she went off to get busy.

Shen Dong smiled. Daughter, daughter, it's always better to have your own flesh and blood.
