After being reborn as a passerby, the fake daughter only wants to play badly

Chapter 91 It’s not the turn of others to point fingers

Everyone fell silent, as if what had just happened was just a farce.

Although they had watched with great interest before, they did not dare to act presumptuously in the face of the power of the Shen family.

Shen Zhenting's eyes became more and more serious, and his gaze swept over everyone present.

He solemnly said, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend this banquet. I've heard a lot of rumors during this time. I want to reiterate that Shen Anran will always be a part of my Shen family."

At this moment, an elderly man walked forward steadily, and the sound of his cane hitting the ground could be clearly heard.

"Zhen Ting, today is the day your biological daughter returns to her roots, yet you are showing such partiality to someone who has no blood relationship with you. This is probably not appropriate."

Shen Zhenting's eyes grew deep, and he responded calmly, "Third Uncle, it seems that it's not your turn to interfere in the Shen family's affairs."

This third uncle is Shen Zhenting's distant cousin. Since the family split up many years ago, there has been almost no contact between them.

Out of respect for his elders, Shen Zhenting invited him to the banquet, but that didn't mean he could interfere in his family affairs.

"Since you still call me Third Uncle, then I am also a member of the Shen family."

Shen Zhenting's uncle continued, "I'm just kindly reminding you that if you don't love your own daughter and instead show such concern for an outsider, how will the outside world view our Shen family?"

"That's right. People who don't know would think that our Shen family can't distinguish right from wrong." The person who took over was Uncle Shen's grandson, Shen Chong.

Shen Chong has been hostile to them since he was a child. No matter what, Shen Yifeng can always do better than him, making him live in the shadow.

When Shen Chong learned that their biological daughter had been taken away by mistake, his heart was filled with joy.

If he has the chance to step on the Shen family, he will definitely not show mercy.

"Who are you?" Shen Jiahe asked lazily.

Shen Chong straightened his clothes slightly and said with a smile: "Hello, sister Jiahe, I am your cousin."

"Shen Chong?" Shen Jiahe raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't expect you to know me?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Chong's eyes, and he seemed quite proud of being recognized by Shen Jiahe.

A hint of teasing flashed across Shen Jiahe's eyes. "Of course I know. I heard you owed a lot of money to the underground casino. I think it's tens of millions of dollars."

Shen Chong's smile froze instantly, and his expression became tense. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You know best whether I'm talking nonsense or not. I heard the debt deadline is coming soon. I wonder if you've asked your grandfather and father for money?"

"Shut up, there's no way I'd go to that kind of place."

Shen Chong's face turned pale, and he was angry and anxious. He really wanted to find a way to make Shen Jiahe shut up. How did she know all this?

Some time ago, because his business venture was not going well, he was induced to go to the casino and try to make a comeback through gambling.

He did win some money at first, but he got deeper and deeper into trouble. In the end, he not only lost all the money he won, but also owed the casino 40 million.

Forty million is nothing to their family, but if they knew that he lost it in gambling, his parents would definitely break his legs or even kick him out of the house.

These days, he has been running around, trying to find ways to raise money to pay off his debts.

He came to the Shen family's banquet today, on the one hand to watch the fun, and on the other hand to hope to find some investors here to inject new funds into his company that was about to go bankrupt.

A hint of amusement flashed across Shen Jiahe's eyes. "Aren't you curious about how I know all this?"

Shen Chong pretended to be calm and replied in a gruff voice: "What does it have to do with me? I wasn't involved."

Uncle Shen saw through Shen Chong's lie at a glance, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

However, considering that there were other people present, he couldn't directly expose Shen Chong's lies, so he could only divert the topic elsewhere.

He turned to Shen Zhenting and said coldly, "Zhenting, since your biological daughter has returned, find a suitable time to remove Shen Anran's name from the family tree."

Shen Jiahe sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"This old man seems to be meddling a bit too much. My father calls you Third Uncle out of respect, yet you are shameless enough to try to meddle in our family affairs. As someone involved, I haven't expressed any opinion, so why are you so concerned?"

"If you have the time, why not go back and raise money for your grandson? I heard that the people in the casino always kill those who don't pay their debts."

Shen Jiahe's words obviously angered Uncle Shen, and he knocked the ground hard with his crutch.

Anger flashed across his face as he shouted, "How dare you! Shen Jiahe, is that how you talk to your elders?"

Shen Jiahe pretended to be scared, but there was a hint of irony in his smile.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I've always been straightforward. You're such a magnanimous old man, you definitely wouldn't argue with an ignorant youngster."

"You..." Uncle San pointed at Shen Jiahe and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

At this moment, a bodyguard walked up to him and whispered a few words, and his face immediately became gloomy.

He looked at everyone present and made a bowing gesture, "Everyone, I'm very sorry, but I suddenly have something urgent to deal with, so I have to excuse myself first."

After taking a few steps, he found that Shen Chong had not caught up with him. He turned around and shouted angrily: "Shen Chong, what are you still standing there for? Come with me."

"Grandpa, please go back first. I want to chat with my friends." Why leave? His investment has not been settled yet.

"You bastard, get here right now!" As soon as he finished speaking, he signaled the bodyguards to come forward and take Shen Chong away.

Just like that, the group left the banquet in embarrassment in public.

"What happened? What did the bodyguard say to make Uncle Shen so flustered?" The people around him discussed curiously.

A man wearing glasses adjusted his glasses and analyzed, "If I'm guessing correctly, the bodyguard must have told him that someone was causing trouble at the door with an IOU."

"Damn, Shen Chong really went gambling? And he's in debt?"

The man with glasses turned his gaze to Shen Jiahe, thinking secretly in his heart.

This real daughter is no ordinary person. Not only did she know that Shen Chong owed money, but not long after, someone actually came to collect the debt. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

When Shen Zhenting saw Uncle Shen San leave in a hurry, a barely perceptible shadow quickly passed through his eyes.

Turning around to face everyone, a polite smile appeared on his face.

"Since Third Uncle has urgent matters to attend to, we won't bother him any further. Please make yourselves at ease. No need to be so polite."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, said a few polite words, and then dispersed.

A banquet for wealthy families is not just a place for eating and drinking, but more of a place for exchanging connections and discussing business.
