Chapter 173 I know
Shen Feiwan didn't move. She snorted, "What, you finally remembered you have a younger sister? Now you're starting to pay attention to me?"
Shen Xubai glanced at her in the rearview mirror, his eyes deep. "Do you still want to find out Mom and Dad's attitude from me?"
Shen Feiwan, having been taken advantage of, snorted again, her tone tinged with reluctance, "Fine, you win."
After saying that, she slowly pushed open the car door, walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in.
As soon as he closed the car door, Shen Xubai asked, "Was getting married fun?"
Shen Feiwan rolled her eyes. "Are you mocking me?"
Shen Xubai sneered, glancing at her sideways. "Do I look like I'm congratulating you?"
His voice suddenly rose several decibels, "Are you out of your mind? Why would you impersonate someone else to help her get revenge and solve cases, and even get involved with..." "Stop!"
Shen Feiwan suddenly raised her hand, interrupting him, "I know what you want to ask, but don't ask yet."
"What's wrong?" Shen Xubai frowned. "Now that you know this is absurd, you don't want to talk about it anymore, is that it?"
“No,” Shen Feiwan held up a finger and waved it in front of Shen Xubai’s eyes. “The exact same question will be asked by my parents when I get back. I don’t want to give the same answer twice, so I’ll talk about it when I get back.”
Shen Xubai frowned even more deeply. "Who exactly spoiled you into this state?"
Shen Feiwan smiled with narrowed eyes but did not answer. She lowered her head and began to fasten her seatbelt, having no intention of continuing the topic.
Shen Xubai looked at her, sighed softly, then bent down, picked up a small paper bag from beside his feet, and handed it to her. "Hmm, your favorite handmade hard candy, have some."
Shen Feiwan took the paper bag, glanced at the date, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Made today! There's always a line at their place, and you actually went to queue up?"
She looked up at Shen Xubai again, "I saw you were on the phone the whole time. Aren't you very busy with work?"
Shen Xubai looked ahead and started the car again. "You're not busy. You're busy living someone else's life, busy getting married and divorced."
"..." Shen Feiwan was speechless. "Hey, that's enough. Stop making sarcastic remarks to me. Are you still my brother? Go drive your car."
She picked out a nicely shaped candy and popped it into her mouth, then asked, "By the way, you were on the phone talking about work the whole time. Did you break any confidentiality agreements?"
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm not that stupid." He paused, his voice lowering slightly. "Mom is very angry."
Shen Feiwan's expression stiffened slightly, her tone tinged with a hint of probing, "What about Dad?"
Shen Xubai: "Does it matter?"
Shen Feiwan: "That's right, Mom's attitude is Dad's attitude. But I want to ask, who found out about this first? Aren't you all very busy?"
“We’re busy, but we also have off-get off work hours and are free to use our phones. What’s wrong with that? You think you can erase all traces of it online if you find out later? Are you underestimating the power of online communication, or are you underestimating my expertise?”
Their family has been deeply involved in scientific research for three generations. Their mother specializes in information technology and is now the chief architect of a national-level information science laboratory.
Shen Feiwan felt that her talent in information technology was most likely inherited from her mother. Of course, she knew that what she had done couldn't be hidden from her mother.
She immediately changed the subject, "Where's my second brother?"
Shen Xubai: "You still want him to help you? Forget about it. He went abroad for academic exchange and won't be back this month."
Shen Feiwan: "Heh, that's all just your wild guesses. I don't need my second brother's help. I can manage on my own."
After she finished speaking, she simply closed her eyes and said, "Don't pay attention to me. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm going to take a nap."
Shen Xubai didn't speak again, only glancing at her indifferently. Then he looked away and focused intently on what was ahead.
The evening rush hour in the north of the city was incredibly congested; it took me almost two hours to get home.
The Shen family lived in a townhouse. By the time Shen Feiwan got out of the car, it was already completely dark.
Shen Xubai parked the car and strode over to her side. "Let's go inside."
Shen Feiwan took a deep breath, stepped up the stairs, and pushed open the door.
The indoor lighting was cold and glaring, causing her to squint slightly.
In Shen Feiwan's view, her family members were busy, rigid, and boring, and the decoration of the house was just as cold and boring. She felt a low atmosphere as soon as she entered the house.
The living room walls are a cool gray, and the furniture has clean, sharp lines without any unnecessary decoration. The house is filled with academic journals, densely packed with text in foreign languages.
Her parents, Shen Mo and Gu Mingxi, were already sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her with cold expressions.
Shen Mo was wearing a dark gray shirt with the cuffs neatly rolled up to his elbows. He held a document in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his expression cold and stern.
Gu Mingxi was wearing a beige knitted cardigan, her low ponytail was tied neatly, and there was not a trace of a smile on her face.
Low! The air pressure is too low!
Shen Feiwan didn't like this feeling.
She turned around and quickly took her suitcase back from Shen Xubai.
She smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm back! I brought you a gift—a pair of couple watches! I'm sure you'll love them!"
As she spoke, she quickly took two beautifully packaged gift boxes out of the box.
Shen Xubai was slightly taken aback; his younger sister always surprised him.
But he still wanted to ask, "Why didn't I have one?"
Shen Feiwan didn't turn her head and said softly, "Don't interrupt."
She continued walking forward, carrying the gift box, but before she even reached the sofa, Gu Mingxi stopped her, "You stand still! Who gave you permission to be all smiles?"
Shen Feiwan paused, but her smile widened even more.
"Mom, you're right. Didn't you say when I was little that Wanwan looks prettiest when she smiles, and that she should smile more?"
"..." Gu Mingxi's face darkened even more. She glared at Shen Feiwan and said, "What kind of thing did you do? How can you still laugh? Do you think I would act like nothing happened?"
Shen Feiwan maintained her smile, "I'm doing the right thing. What you see online isn't necessarily true."
Gu Mingxi sneered, her voice filled with suppressed anger.
"You weren't the real Shen Feiwan, were you?"
"Your marriage to Bo Junxing wasn't real?"
"The divorce isn't real?"
"Is it true that they sent the Shen family's parents to prison?"
"Is it really true that they sent Bo's eldest daughter-in-law to prison?"
Five questions in a row—it seems the family has thoroughly investigated all this gossip.
Shen Feiwan admitted, "It's true, it's all true."
"Then what else do you have to say?" Gu Mingxi's face darkened even more. "I think you're completely lawless! You rely on your abilities to arbitrarily alter other people's identity information and data. Don't you know that's illegal? You married a man without your parents' or family's consent. You're being ridiculous, do you know that?"
Shen Feiwan nodded, "I know."
