Shen said anxiously again, his voice full of anxiety and pleading: "Sui Huan, it's not like that! How can you be so heartless?"

When Shen Suihuan heard this, anger surged in his heart.

They treated her like that in her previous life, but she just chose to leave the Shen family and no longer beg for their love and care. Is that why she is called heartless?

Her eyes became even colder, and she picked up her phone and dialed Song Yanxi's number.

The moment the call was connected, she stared at Shen You through the video, her voice calm but with a hint of coldness: "Since Mr. Shen Er is sincerely apologizing, can't he just return my things and regard it as an apology?"

When Shen heard this again, a glimmer of hope immediately flashed in his eyes.

A delighted expression appeared on his face, and he said hurriedly, "As long as you are willing to forgive my second brother, I will agree to whatever you ask for."

Shen Suihuan's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. "What if I say I want the Heart of the Ocean bracelet at the Sotheby's auction next week?"

Shen was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied, "Second brother bought it for you."

The smile on Shen Suihuan's face became more obvious. She said to the other end of the phone, "Sister Xixi, your second brother wants to bring me the birthday gift he promised to give you as an apology."

In the video, Shen You's expression froze instantly.

His face turned pale and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Damn it, he actually forgot that that was the birthday gift he promised to take for Xixi!

Also, who is she talking to on the phone? Is it Xixi?

As if to confirm his guess, Song Yanxi rushed out of the house.

She didn't even have time to put on her coat. She was only wearing a pair of fluffy home slippers and ran hurriedly out of the Shen family's door.

Seeing Song Yanxi like this, Shen You's heart ached. He turned to the video doorbell at the Jiang family's front door and slammed his fist against the wall, his tone blaming, "Sui Huan, have you forgotten that Xixi's brother died saving you? Even if you're jealous of Xixi sharing our love, you can't hurt Xixi like this!"

When Shen Suihuan heard this, her face instantly turned icy. Her eyes were sharp as knives, and her voice was chilling: "If you have time to blame me, why not go and coax her right now?"

When Shen heard this again, he suddenly realized what he had just said.

His expression turned regretful, and a hint of self-blame flashed in his eyes.

But he was doing it for her own good. After all, Xixi's brother died while saving her. How could she treat Xixi like that?

But before he could explain further, Shen Suihuan had already turned off the video doorbell.

Shen You had no choice but to turn around and chase Song Yanxi.

Shen Suihuan took a deep breath and felt his chest still heavy and depressed.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhou's voice came from behind, interrupting her thoughts.

"Sister, do you like the Heart of the Ocean?"

Shen Suihuan was startled by the sudden question. She turned quickly and saw Jiang Zhou standing behind her with a thoughtful expression on his face. She subconsciously pursed her lips and did not answer.

Jiang Zhou walked slowly forward, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted Shen Suihuan's chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

His eyes were deep and gentle, and his voice was soft but powerful: "Here with me, you can say whatever you want without any scruples."

Shen Suihuan's eyes trembled slightly under Jiang Zhou's gaze. She first lowered her eyes, as if thinking, then raised them again and looked directly into Jiang Zhou's eyes.

"I used to like it."

She used to like the sea because the Shen brothers would take her to the beach every year.

There are many beautiful memories there. In the summer after the college entrance examination, the Shen brothers promised to buy her a blue diamond, saying that it represented the deep friendship between them. She cherished and looked forward to it very much.

However, in her previous life, the Shen brothers forgot the agreement. When they took the photo of the Heart of the Ocean, she mistakenly thought it was for her. When she reached out to take it, Song Yanxi made an expression as if she was deeply hurt that she was trying to snatch the Heart of the Ocean away.

The Shen brothers immediately thought that she was bullying Song Yanxi again, so they beat her hands until the skin was torn and locked her in a small dark room.

Song Yanxi and the Shen brothers went out to celebrate her birthday and spend New Year's Eve, but she stayed in the small dark room for three days without eating or drinking.

From that day on, she no longer liked anything related to sea blue.

She wanted the Heart of the Ocean simply to make Song Yanxi's life difficult.

"But do you want it?" Jiang Zhou said firmly.

Shen Suihuan raised her head and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

"Then brother will buy it for you." Jiang Zhou's eyes were instantly filled with doting, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Shen Suihuan opened her mouth and was about to say something. She had just ripped off five million from Shen Si, so she could definitely buy it herself.

But before she could speak, Jiang Zhou reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head.

"The patch you installed on the firewall last time perfectly blocked this wave of malicious attacks from overseas hackers. This is a reward." Jiang Zhou's voice was gentle but unquestionable, with admiration and pride in his eyes.

Feeling Jiang Zhou's concern, Shen Suihuan felt a warm current in his heart.

"Thank you, brother."

This "brother" is no longer called to anger the Shen brothers. Calling Jiang Zhou brother now really comes naturally.

Jiang Zhou noticed the change and the smile on his face deepened. He reached out again and gently rubbed Shen Suihuan's head, his movements full of doting.

"Let's go, let's eat."

At the Sotheby's auction house, elegant classical music floated gently in the air, and people participating in the auction entered in an orderly manner.

Shen Suihuan took Jiang Zhou's arm and walked slowly into the venue.

She wore a dark blue gown, the hem of which was embellished with tiny blue diamonds, sparkling like stars under the light. This gown was custom-made for her by Jiang Zhou, perfectly fitting her slender figure and outlining her graceful curves.

Shen Suihuan wore an aquamarine hair accessory on her bun, which complemented her dress and exuded a noble and elegant temperament.

Jiang Zhou wore a well-tailored black suit with a sapphire collar pin on his shirt collar, which echoed Shen Suihuan's outfit.

His tall and straight figure complemented Shen Suihuan perfectly. The two of them stood together, as close as a pair of real siblings, with no sense of incongruity.

Just then, a familiar voice came, interrupting Shen Suihuan's thoughts.

"Sui Huan?"

Shen Suihuan turned around and saw Shen You, Shen Si and Song Yanxi standing not far away.

Shen You and Shen Si were both wearing well-fitting suits, while Song Yanxi was also wearing a sea-blue dress.

However, compared with Shen Suihuan's custom-made high-end dress, Song Yanxi's dress, although a limited edition, seemed a little overshadowed. The rhinestones were rhinestones, the embroidery of the waves was not delicate enough, and her face and figure were not as good as Shen Suihuan's.

She was completely outshined by Shen Suihuan.

Song Yanxi's face turned ugly in an instant. She bit her lips tightly, and a glimmer of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously grasped Shen You's arm, as if seeking comfort.
