If she hadn't been unable to control her brother and let him contact Yu Wan again, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.

It’s all Yu Xiao’s fault!

In Shen Yu's eyes, Yu Xiao was reflected walking towards him in the backlight.

She was wearing a white dress today, exuding a completely different temperament from before.

He found himself unconsciously searching for her in a crowd, something he had never done before.

In the past, Yu Xiao had almost no presence around him. No matter what he was doing, he would always inadvertently ignore her.

However, since the divorce, Yu Xiao, who has become so radiant, always attracts him inadvertently. Until now, whenever she is present, his eyes will naturally search for her.

Mother Shen stood up and unconsciously stood in front of Shen Ying who was slapped. "What is your purpose in coming here?"

Her words were full of reproach.

Yu Xiao's mouth corners slightly raised, but his eyes were cold and icy. "While everyone is here, I came to ask Shen Ying for an explanation."

Her tone was firm and indifferent, as if there were surging waves beneath the frozen lake.

Then, her gaze slowly shifted to Shen Yu, "Mr. Shen, why isn't Yu Wan with you?"

Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to see deep into Shen Yu's heart through the surface.

Shen Yu avoided the other person's sharp eyes, his eyes a little evasive, "Lian Lian has something going on."

His voice was calm, but clearly tinged with uneasiness.

In fact, this was something that Old Lady Shen had specifically warned him against - not to bring Yu Wan back to the Shen family, because doing so might make the old lady angry and affect her health, so he never brought the girl back.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Shen, who had originally had a cold expression, softened a little. She waved her hand and said, "Xiaoyue, come over here and sit down."

At the same time, he didn't even bother to glance at the person lying on the ground.

Her voice was still cold, but also softer.

Shen's mother quickly helped Shen Ying up from the ground, and gave her a quiet look, telling her that now was not the time to quarrel and that she should be calm. Then she whispered a few words in her ear, telling her that she would teach her a lesson later.

At this time, Shen Ying, who was sitting there with her hands covering half of her red cheek, silently looked at the extraordinarily beautiful woman standing next to her grandmother, her heart filled with resentment and humiliation.

Although she was extremely angry, she endured it because of her grandmother's attitude. "Are you here to talk to everyone about something?"

She managed to squeeze out these few words, trying her best to remain calm.

Hearing this, Mother Shen couldn't help but sneer, "Could it be that you want to go home and borrow money because you're having such a hard time out there? Isn't what A Yu gave you enough?"

Her tone was sarcastic and harsh, and she clearly had a strong prejudice against Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao found it hard to understand why someone was not satisfied with the 30 million in cash and two houses. This made her feel a little unbelievable.

But she did not directly respond to such groundless accusations.

Seeing this, the old lady's tone became stern. "Don't interrupt me when I don't tell you to! I want to hear Xiaoxiao's thoughts now."

Although her voice was not loud, it was full of unquestionable power.

Helpless, Mother Shen had to shut her mouth and stop talking.

Yu Xiao glanced coldly at the people in front of him, "Either let Shen Ying explain clearly? Or should we just call Yu Wan over for a confrontation? The two of them really put a lot of thought into dealing with me."

Her words fell like frost, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

After saying this, she continued to calmly deal with the lady's ridicule, "If you can be satisfied with nothing like you, then you're really easy to satisfy! The young master clearly didn't want me to take a single cent away. I never expected the Shen family to be so generous."

Her words were full of sarcasm, but her face remained calm.

After hearing this, Shen Yu's cheeks instantly turned all colors, looking very ugly, and he looked very embarrassed and awkward.

"What did you say? Ah Yu actually let you leave empty-handed?!"

Old Mrs. Shen pointed at her grandson angrily, her fingers trembling. "Is this how he treats you?! What about the promise he made to me?"

Her voice was filled with intense anger and uncontrollable emotional fluctuations.

Facing his grandmother's questioning voice, Shen Yu seemed a little impatient, but he still answered stubbornly, "I did say I would give you appropriate compensation, but the prerequisite is that you have to have truly devoted your heart to me! Remember what I said in my study that time? About how you were already being kept by Master Chen and that you didn't need our money and things at all...

So when you said you wanted to finalize the divorce, you didn't feel it was my responsibility at all."

His words contained both defense and rebuttal, and his emotions were very complicated.

"Really? You're being supported by someone and you're still thinking about the little money our Shen family makes. Are you afraid that you'll be kicked out by the Lu family and have no place to live?"

Old Mrs. Shen said coldly, her voice full of deep disappointment and disdain.

Shen's mother just couldn't stand seeing Yu Xiao living such a comfortable life, and she kept making sarcastic remarks about him all day long.

Every time she saw the faint smile on Yu Xiao's face, her heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and it was extremely sour.

Shen Ying also wanted to laugh a few times in her heart, but she was too busy to take care of herself at the moment, so she could only keep her mouth shut.

Her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she seemed unable to utter a word.

Old Mrs. Shen sat beside Yu Xiao, panting. She held her hand tightly and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry. I will let A Yu make up for what our Shen family owes you. You won't suffer in vain! Grandma is here. Whether it's a divorce or something else, I will help you find a solution!"

The old man spoke with great sincerity, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.

Yu Xiao knew very well that the only person in the Shen family who was truly kind to her was this old lady.

"Grandma, I've actually filed a lawsuit. What Young Master Shen did is simply unacceptable."

There was a glimmer of determination in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had made a decision and would not change her mind easily.

"Oh, why go to court? Listen to grandma, just let me handle this matter."

The old lady looked worried, fearing that this incident would affect the entire family.

All along, Old Mrs. Shen mistakenly believed that Shen Yu was deliberately delaying the process, and that Yu Xiao was dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by Shen Yu. It was not until this moment that she realized that the problem lay in the issue of agreement or not.

This misunderstanding made her feel a little regretful, and she felt that she had wronged the younger generation.

"Let's not talk about those things now. I'm actually here for something more important."

Yu Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Yu Xiao stared coldly at Shen Ying, who was standing timidly behind her mother.
