After being detained, Shen Zhian and Wang Ping brought their son to visit Shen Yuan. When Wang Ping saw Shen Yuan in prison clothes, with shackles on her hands, looking haggard and unrecognizable, she felt heartbroken and shed tears. She reached out and stroked Shen Yuan's face, saying, "My daughter, you have suffered so much."

Even Shen Zhian's eyes reddened slightly, and he choked up as he said, "Shen Yuan, behave well inside and try to get out as soon as possible."

This was the first time in both of Shen Yuan's lives that her parents cared about her so much. A feeling of grievance welled up inside her, her nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face. "Mom and Dad, there's something I've always wanted to know: do you really love me?"

When Shen Zhian and Wang Ping heard Shen Yuan's question, they exchanged a glance and saw complex emotions in each other's eyes.

This is also a piece of her flesh. Although Wang Ping is indeed sexist, she still hopes that Shen Yuan can live a good life.

Wang Ping held Shen Yuan's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Silly child, you are our daughter, how could we not love you?"

Shen Zhian nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what, you are our daughter, our own flesh and blood."

With tears streaming down her face, Shen Yuan said, "If you really loved me, why did you always ignore me before? Why did you only dote on my younger brother? Why did you always sacrifice me? Why did you always compare me to Chu Mo? Why did you never truly care about my feelings?"

Hearing Shen Yuan say this, Wang Ping felt a pang of pain in her heart. She felt very sorry for her daughter, so she said with a hint of guilt, "I... I went through the same thing. Isn't that how it is for all daughters? You are a daughter, not a son. Yuan, don't blame your mother. I had no choice."

After saying this, Wang Ping felt very sad. She knew that what she said might make her daughter even more upset, but she really didn't know how to comfort her.

Upon hearing her mother's words, tears welled up in Shen Yuan's eyes again. She sobbed, "Should daughters suffer? Why can't they be valued like sons? Dad, Mom, if you had been kinder to me, I wouldn't have done such a wrong thing. It's all your fault. As my parents, you've never cared about me for even a day."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhian felt a little embarrassed. He knew his daughter was telling the truth, but he still stubbornly said, "We've fed you and clothed you, raised you to this age, and you still complain about us."

Seeing Shen Yuan's miserable appearance, Shen Zhian's tone softened, "You know our family's situation. Shen Chumo has two older brothers who can earn money, so of course she's doing well. Blame your parents for not being capable enough to give you two older brothers too."

Wang Ping also said, "Yuan, don't blame your parents. It's because your parents are not capable enough to make a lot of money to let you live that rich life. If we were those rich people, we would definitely spoil you like a princess."

Having said all that, what else could Shen Yuan say? She wiped away her tears and forced a smile, saying, "Alright, Mom and Dad, I don't blame you anymore. Take good care of my brother from now on, raise him to be successful, and he'll have someone to rely on when I get out of prison."

Shen Zhian nodded, "Don't worry, after you get out of prison, we'll still be a family and live a good life together."

Whether Shen Zhian was telling the truth or not, Shen Yuan's heart was finally healed a little. These were her parents. Even if she resented them, she couldn't help but soften her heart as long as they showed her a little concern.

After Shen Zhian and his wife left, Shen Chumo also came to the visiting room to see Shen Yuan.

When Shen Yuan saw Shen Chumo, a complex emotion welled up inside her. She gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Shen Chumo, did you come here to laugh at me?"

Shen Chumo didn't refute, and even nodded, "Yes, I came here just to see you make a fool of yourself. I'm very happy to see you in this state now."

Shen Yuan glared at Shen Chumo, "Shen Chumo, I'm still your cousin. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for treating me like this?"

Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow. "You know you're my cousin, so why didn't you consider our blood ties when you attacked me back then?"

Shen Yuan was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, she lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to harm you. I just wanted you to marry someone less desirable."

You have so much: loving parents and siblings, you're so beautiful and educated. Even if you don't marry Huo Yunhan, you still have many choices.

But I'm different. I grew up in a loveless home for the first half of my life, so for the second half, I especially want someone who loves and cherishes me. I hurt you using the wrong methods; I admit my mistake and apologize.

"But Chu Mo, for the sake of our blood ties, I hope you can give me a chance to repent. My younger brother is still young; if you could help me look after him, our whole family would be eternally grateful."

This series of moves made Shen Chumo chuckle. If she didn't know the original plot, she might have actually believed it. Just wanting her to marry someone less desirable? How could she say that? In the original story, she didn't even spare her two older brothers.

"Shen Yuan, all you've got is the intelligence you use to scheme against people. How dare you say such things? Do you think that if you apologize and admit your mistakes, all those things you did will disappear? Do you expect me to take care of your brother like I did of you, only to raise another ingrate?"

Shen Yuan's face paled; she hadn't expected Shen Chumo to expose her so bluntly.

She bit her lip and said, "Chu Mo, I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I really know I was wrong now. Can't you give me a chance? My brother is still so young, and you are his cousin. He has already lost his sister. What's wrong with you, as his cousin, helping him out?"

Shen Chumo looked at Shen Yuan with no emotion in her eyes and said coldly, "Your brother is being taken care of by your parents, it's not my place to worry about him. Besides, you should bear the consequences of your mistakes yourself, instead of making others pay for them."

Shen Yuan's tears flowed again. She said, "Chu Mo, I beg you, please have pity on me. I will definitely reform myself in prison. When I get out, I will definitely repay you."

Shen Chumo remained unmoved. She said, "I don't care about your repayment. I won't help you take care of your brother, nor will I give you any chance. You should reflect on your crimes in prison."

After saying that, Shen Chumo turned and left the visiting room. Shen Yuan watched Shen Chumo's back, her heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Tuanzi said, "Mo Mo, Shen Yuan is a really strange person. In her past life, her younger brother wasn't very good to her either, and he always asked her for money. Why doesn't she hate her brother at all?"
