Chapter 255 Making Things Difficult at Their Doorstep

Just as Shen Feiwan was about to throw the photo into the trash can, Chen Youen quickly snatched it away.

"Don't throw it away!" She examined the photo carefully. "Can't we just cut Lin Xiaoyan out in a bit? Keep your half; look how beautiful you were back then."

She gently stroked the bright smile of the girl in the photo with her fingertips. "I didn't even have a decent photo when I was sixteen. The best years of my youth just passed by like that."

Shen Feiwan remained silent for a moment before finally giving in, "Fine, you're good-looking, I'll listen to you."

"You have such a sweet tongue. Let's continue looking at the photo albums," Chen Youen said, laying the photos flat on the coffee table. "There might be some more that slipped through the net later. There are two more albums here."

"There should be no more."

"No rush, let's take our time."

Shen Mo returned just as he was finishing flipping through the second photo album.

Shen Mo looked very tired and returned to his room after saying only a few words to the two of them.

As Shen Feiwan watched her father's retreating figure, she felt inexplicably sad.

"What's wrong?" Chen You'en keenly noticed her change in mood. "Are you feeling uncomfortable seeing Uncle Shen like this?"

Shen Feiwan sighed softly, "I used to think I was invincible, but in the end I still have to rely on others."

Chen Youen pursed her lips. "There's nothing we can do about it. No one can be that perfect. Even gods have their own roles."

She shrugged. "We may never become officials in this lifetime, but we can raise the next generation."

“The next generation…” Shen Feiwan’s gaze unconsciously fell on her flat stomach, and she stopped talking.

Shen Feiwan lost interest in looking at the photo album after that.

A short while later, the doorbell rang outside.

The doorbell rang urgently, and you could tell from the sound that the person ringing it was also very impatient.

Shen Feiwan casually placed the photo album on the coffee table and said indifferently, "Ye Wanjie is here."

Chen Youen immediately stood up. "Then I'll go find a good spot to watch the show. Wait until I'm hidden before opening the door."

Shen Feiwan nodded. It was a good opportunity to let Ye Wanjie wait. The longer she waited, the angrier she would be when Ye Wanjie came in.

Outside the door, Ye Wanjie was getting impatient. She rang the doorbell but no one answered, so she started banging on the door with her bag.

Hearing the commotion outside getting louder, Shen Feiwan worried that Ye Wanjie might faint from anger at her doorstep and disrupt her plans.

She figured the time was about right, so she slowly opened the door.

The door had barely opened a crack when Ye Wanjie stormed in, her high heels clattering loudly on the marble floor.

Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow and subtly stepped aside to let the person in.

"Shen Feiwan!" Ye Wanjie said without any politeness, turning around and glaring at Shen Feiwan after stopping. "Who do you think you are? I used to think you were just eccentric and unruly, but I never expected you to have no moral compass at all! You actually became a mistress and interfered in someone else's relationship! Let me tell you, the Lin family's doors are not for trash like you!"

Ye Wanjie was very emotional, while Shen Feiwan was quite the opposite.

She remained calm, and her tone was equally composed. "Aunt Ye, please don't be angry. Why don't you sit down first? I'll pour you a cup of hot tea."

Shen Feiwan addressed Ye Wanjie with "you" repeatedly, leaving her completely bewildered. Wasn't Shen Feiwan always arrogant and disdainful of others? When did she become so polite?

But the more Shen Feiwan acted this way, the angrier Ye Wanjie became. She felt that Shen Feiwan was trying to please her and was determined to become her daughter-in-law.

When she spoke again, Ye Wanjie's words were even more sarcastic, "Don't give me that! Who's your aunt? With your Shen family in such a state now, do you think you're worthy of being related to me?"

She took a step closer to Shen Feiwan in her high heels, "I'm telling you this now, stay away from my son! Someone like you..."

She sneered, "You're not even qualified to carry my son's shoes, yet you dare to dream of becoming Mrs. Lin? Don't think I don't know what you're up to! The Shen family is in deep trouble now, and you're hoping to turn things around with my son, is that it? Let me tell you, as long as I'm alive, you won't succeed!"
