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

Shen Siyan's tone was completely at ease.

It seems that the person who fell in love with Shen Tu Mo at first sight and insisted on marrying into the Shen Tu family was not her.

The Shen family used every trick in the book to finally secure a marriage alliance with the Shen Tu family.

Shen Siyan, however, turned her back on him and refused to marry Shen Tu Mo no matter what.

She still likes Shen Tu Mo.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so sour towards Shen Sixi.

But she loves herself more.

No one knew, except for Shen Sixi, who had read the entire script of the world.

After falling in love with Shen Tu Mo at first sight, Shen Siyan suddenly realized that she was the female lead in this novel about a wealthy family.

Shen Tu Mo is the rich, aloof, and unlucky second male lead.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Shen Tu family is currently at the height of their power and no one dares to mess with them.

But how could the second male lead possibly compete with the male lead's luck?

In the future, Shen Tu Mo will encounter many changes, suffer many setbacks, sink into darkness, and watch helplessly as the female lead and the male lead hold hands and live happily ever after.

Although Shen Siyan liked Shen Tu Mo very much, she chose to say goodbye without hesitation.

Even though the male protagonist is still a poor boy, he can amaze everyone with everything he does. In the near future, he will be sought after by another wealthy family and become the heir to a fortune of hundreds of billions.

Shen Siyan longs for a bright future where she and the male lead are inseparable.

At the same time, she looked at Shen Sixi apologetically.

The "trash" she didn't want had to be given to her older sister.

Just like every time when they were children, Shen Siyan gave Shen Sixi whatever she didn't want.

They euphemistically said, "All the good things are for my older sister."

Shen Sixi accepted her role as a tool in this arranged marriage with a wealthy family, but the Shen family went a bit too far.

Where is my mom?

Shen Siyan said innocently, "Sister, we really have done our best. The doctor said that your mother's illness is incurable."

"Spending so much money to keep her alive, while her quality of life is so low, it would be better to just let her—"

"I'm asking you, where is my mother?" Shen Sixi repeated, her eyes sharp.

Shen Siyan had never seen her timid sister like this before, and she was taken aback.

Shen Sixi's mother is her Achilles' heel.

Shen Siyan dared not say anything more and answered honestly, "She is at Fuxing Rehabilitation Hospital."

"You just left her there?"

"Sister, don't put it so harshly. We just want to give her some dignity in the end."

Shen Siyan thought to herself, "I can't let her die at home, that would be too unlucky."

After saying that, Shen Sixi grabbed her bag from the table and walked out with an air of authority.

Shen Siyan looked up, staring blankly at Shen Sixi's retreating figure, and then remembered to ask:

"Sister, you'll be bringing Shentu Mo home the day after tomorrow when we go back to our parents' home, right?"

Shen Sixi did not answer her.

The well-tailored black shirt and little black skirt swayed sharply, disappearing around the corner.

Shen Siyan's mouth opened slightly, feeling that things had changed since her sister married into the Shentu family.

Even her clothing style has changed.

The phone in her bag rang, and Shen Siyan answered, "Hello? Dad?"

"Yes, I saw my sister."

"She was very angry."

"Forget about it. How could she possibly have the ability to get Shen Tu Mo to accompany her on her homecoming visit?"

"You should think of another way."

After Shen Siyan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and sighed.

She comforted herself, telling herself that they were still in the beginning of the novel, when Shen Tu Mo was at his strongest.

Therefore, the Shen family still had no choice but to ask Shen Tu Mo for help when they needed it.

Soon, her man will grow stronger and surpass Shen Tu Mo.

Yes, things will be different from now on.

……

Shen Sixi walked out of the restaurant carrying her bag, and the servants looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Madam, you finished eating so quickly?"

"Didn't eat."

Shen Sixi got into the car. "To Fuxing Rehabilitation Hospital."

She sat in the back seat and started ordering takeout.

The servants and the driver didn't dare to utter a sound.

I don't know if it's because of her aura, but the more time they spend with this lady, the more obedient they become.

When they arrived at the hospital, Shen Sixi went in alone.

The servants and driver finally felt they could breathe again and began to whisper among themselves.

"What brings you here, Madam?"

"Haven't you heard? Her mother was sent here by the Shen family to die!"

"What? Are the Shen family even human?"

"I also heard that Madam's mother was originally President Shen's first wife, but later a mistress took her place, and her mother fell ill from the stress!"

"That lady is quite pitiful."

"I heard that the Shen family treats the madam very well, giving her all sorts of good things."

"Ha, do you believe that? If he really cared about the madam, would he 'sell' her to the Shentu family?"

"Don't talk like an outsider. We've been working for the Shentu family for so many years. Besides, which of those girls outside doesn't want to marry into our family?"

"They may look glamorous, but you all know how miserable they actually are."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

The ward was equally silent.

Shen Sixi stood by the hospital bed, her gaze slightly lowered.

The person in the hospital bed can no longer be called a "person".

She lay there like a skeleton, lifeless.

Upon seeing Shen Sixi, her numb and empty eyes blinked, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear.

The doctor sighed softly, "After being brought here for more than a month, you finally have a family member come to visit. That's good, at least you can see them one last time."

"More than a month?" Shen Sixi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, you weren't the one who brought it in, were you?" the doctor said, flipping through the records.

"Mmm," Shen Sixi responded softly, silently clenching her fists.

Emotions that didn't belong to her were churning inside her chest.

That was the original owner's sorrow and despair, and the despair of being deceived.

As the daughter of the Shen family's first wife, the original owner's life seemed glamorous, but in reality, it was a life of hardship and toil.

She had no freedom. What school she attended, what major she studied, what skills she learned, what clothes she wore—everything was arranged meticulously by the Shen family.

Even seeing her biological mother at the nursing home is limited to once a quarter.

The original owner first rebelled against the Shen family when she learned that she was going to marry into the Shentu family.

Shen Siyan changed her mind at the last minute, but the Shen Tu family dared not go back on their word regarding the marriage alliance.

The original owner was unwilling to have her marriage arranged, and could only pick up what Shen Siyan didn't want.

But she quickly gave in again.

Because the Shen family said that her mother was sick, very sick.

If she obediently marries into the Shentu family, then her mother will receive the best treatment.

It has now been discovered that the Shen family has been lying all along.

More than a month ago, they had already given up on treatment and sent the original owner's mother to a rehabilitation hospital to die.

Shen Sixi pressed her hand to her heart, her eyes growing colder.

She came here to retire and enjoy her old age.

If anyone makes her unhappy, she shouldn't blame her for cleaning up the trash.

Shen Sixi lowered her eyes and smiled again.
