I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Because people kept disturbing Shen Sixi's vacation, she became somewhat irritable.

He criticizes everything and everyone without holding back.

In the restaurant, Liu Ninghui and Shen Siyan were so angry that their faces turned pale, and they couldn't catch their breath for a long time.

Shen Sixi went back to her cabin, changed into a beautiful dress, and went to the party hand in hand with her mother.

Today is the first day of our cruise vacation.

The ship's largest golden banquet hall is hosting a wonderful evening program to welcome all passengers.

In addition to inviting celebrities to sing and dance, there are also carefully prepared snacks and treasured wines by the chefs.

With a gentle sea breeze, the semi-open banquet hall offers an exceptional nighttime view.

The vast, dark night sky is dotted with stars.

On the vast, dark sea, this enormous, brightly lit cruise ship resembles a miraculous and dazzling civilization.

Since we're already here and have paid,

Shen Sixi certainly didn't want to miss such a lively party.

The mother and daughter were immediately affected by the atmosphere as soon as they entered the banquet hall.

Although there are many people here, it doesn't feel noisy or crowded.

Pleasant music is playing, and the private rooms have elegant curtains to block the view, ensuring a high degree of privacy.

It's also a coincidence.

Shen Sixi was still looking for a seat when she saw Shen Tu Mo leading Shen Tu Zhi through another door.

Shen Tu was not very willing to be led around.

Hearing the music, which was clearly pleasant to the ear, Shen Tu Zhi seemed somewhat startled, his brows furrowing.

But Shen Tu Mo refused to let him leave and insisted on sitting down.

Then, Shen Tu Ye followed him in.

He pretended not to see Shen Sixi, and his gaze didn't linger on her for even a second.

She lifted the curtain, revealing a cool and aloof profile.

Shen Sixi didn't plan to go over and say hello. She turned around and spoke to Yan Qiufang.

"Let's go over there and find an empty private room."

"Sister Xi!" Shen Tu Rong's joyful voice came from behind.

"I haven't seen you since I boarded the ship, and I don't know which cabin you're staying in."

Shen Tu Rong caught up with him in two quick steps.

Her eyes sparkled, hiding a small admiration for Shen Sixi.

After witnessing how Shen Sixi confronted her older brother today, she was nothing but shocked.

Shen Tu Rong had never seen anyone dare to speak to Shen Tu Mo like that.

After saying that, he remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Tu Rong had been so uneasy that she hadn't slept well for several nights since she had argued with her elder brother over "Master Yu Shui".

So although she dared not say it outright.

But in her heart, Shen Sixi was already a person she secretly admired.

Of course, compared to her admiration for Master Yu Shui, it was still a far cry.

"Sister Xi, is this your mother?" Shen Tu Rong said sweetly, "Hello, Auntie, you look so beautiful and young."

"Thank you," Yan Qiufang replied with a smile. "You're so beautiful, and you have such a sweet tongue."

Taking the opportunity, Shen Tu Rong invited, "Sister Xi, are you looking for seats? Come with me, we've booked the best private room."

Shen Sixi originally wanted to refuse; she would have preferred to sit in a corner and listen to music.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qiufang nudged her and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Miss Rong to lead the way."

Yan Qiufang whispered to Shen Sixi with concern, "Now that you've married into the Shentu family, get along well with them. Miss Rong and Xiao Zhi, whom you met at dinner before, are both very nice."

"Mom believes that you two will definitely get along very well in the future."

Shen Sixi: ...

She couldn't possibly tell Yan Qiufang about the world's events.

It's obvious that Shen Tu Zhi is a pervert.

In fact, Shen Tu Rong is not simple either.

Don't let her current simple and lively appearance fool you; she's actually an extremely love-obsessed person.

Soon after, Shen Tu Rong will fall in love with a seemingly perfect but actually wicked scumbag.

Furthermore, she poured her heart and soul into him, giving him everything, only to let a wolf into her house, almost ruining her entire family.

In the end, it was Shen Tu Mo who cleaned up the mess.

Shen Sixi didn't want to get involved in these messy affairs.

She's simply here to support her elderly parents.

However, she had already appeared in Shen Tu Rong's private room due to Shen Tu Rong's enthusiasm and Yan Qiu Fang's shoving.

Shen Tu Mo indeed wielded immense power.

On such a giant cruise ship, the Shen Tu family was also considered prominent.

This private room not only has a great location and a great view, but it is also exceptionally spacious.

Even the decor is more upscale than a typical private room; the vases casually placed are all antiques, and the decorative paintings hanging on the walls are by famous artists.

Shen Tu Mo sat upright in the center, his cold gaze sweeping over them.

Shen Tu Rong reacted quickly, pulling Shen Sixi aside and saying:

"Brother, sister-in-law is here too."

She is good at reading people.

After Shen Sixi retorted to Shen Tu Mo a few times before leaving today, she observed that although her older brother's expression changed, he showed no anger.

Therefore, Shen Tu Rong knew that it was not a problem to bring Shen Sixi over at this time.

As expected, Shen Tu Mo merely glanced up coldly and said, "Sit."

He even nodded slightly to Yan Qiufang as a greeting.

Given Shen Tu Mo's status and personality, he would never utter a phrase like "good mother-in-law".

A nod and a greeting are already the most polite gesture he can give.

Yan Qiufang was very receptive to this, and she whispered to Shen Sixi.

"This young man seems alright."

Shen Sixi pretended not to hear; she was just there to watch the show.

As if no one else was around, she chose a spot with a good view in the private room, sat down, ate sunflower seeds, and watched the stars perform on stage.

Shen Tu Rong enthusiastically introduced Yan Qiu Fang.

"Auntie, this is my older brother, Shen Tu Mo."

“That’s my second brother, Shen Tu Ye.”

Shen Tu Ye wore a starlight gray suit, and his frameless glasses gave him a cool and refined air.

He adjusted his glasses, nodded politely, and smiled slightly.

"Hello, aunt."

While speaking, Shen Tu Ye was still consciously controlling his gaze.

Avoid Shen Sixi's location.

He tried his best not to look at her, not even for a moment.

Yan Qiufang smiled even more broadly, "All the young men from your Shentu family are so handsome!"

Shen Tu Rong pointed to the child crouching in the corner with dilated pupils.

“That’s our third brother, Shentu Zhi.”

Yan Qiufang pursed her lips, "I met Xiaoxi when I was having dinner just now. She eats very well."

Shen Tu Zhi silently adjusted his posture, turning his back completely to everyone.

Shen Tu Rong then pointed to another little girl on the chair.

“This is our third sister, Shentu Xia. She and Xiaozhi are twins, born on the summer solstice.”

Although Shen Tu Xia was sitting in a chair, his condition was not much better.

Her face was flushed, she was slightly sweating, and her whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.

Yan Qiufang asked worriedly, "Is the child sick?"

“No.” Shen Tu Rong paused, then said softly, “She’s just a little easily startled.”

"Oh." Yan Qiufang nodded understandingly, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then focused on watching the program.

Only Shen Sixi knew.

Shen Tu Xia wasn't stage-frightened; he was an extreme case of social anxiety.

Aside from staying in her room, appearing in any public place was torture for her.

But others won't understand her.

-

In the private room.

Apart from her eldest sister Shen Tu Qiang, Shen Tu Mo has now met all of her brothers and sisters.

However, it's not clear how deep their relationship is.

After the entire evening's program, no one spoke.

It seems that "keeping silent" is a family rule of the Shentu family, and everyone abides by this rule without prior agreement.

Despite the large number of people sitting in the private room, it was unusually quiet.

Shen Sixi had long been accustomed to the quiet and desolate atmosphere of her family.

Yan Qiufang, however, was not very good at it.

Finally, the show ended, and they left the private room one after another.

After Yan Qiufang and the others left, she sat down in a chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I had known, we should have sat alone."

Shen Sixi looked at her knowingly, "Now you know, right?"

"Why is it that the siblings don't get along very well?" Yan Qiufang wondered.

"They're all quite good, but they're not good with words." Shen Sixi knew these people through the previous world's storyline.

But she didn't pay much attention.

Ultimately, she's just here to relax, vacation, and retire; there's no need for her to get caught up in interpersonal relationships.

Yan Qiufang and Shen Tu Mo spent a short time together for a little over an hour.

She didn't advise Shen Sixi to manage her marriage properly anymore.

Having witnessed firsthand what a massive iceberg Shen Tu Mo was, she feared her daughter would freeze to death.

The mother and daughter sat for a while longer, until the banquet hall was almost empty, before leaving.

Who knew that enemies would meet on a narrow road.

As soon as I lifted the curtain of the private room, I saw Shen Zhenghua and his family of three passing by.

They stared at each other, and their eyes met perfectly.

When Shen Zhenghua saw Yan Qiufang, he was surprised, but his eyes were also filled with undisguised amazement.
