After Su Yang and Shen Jinghe finished speaking, they turned around and saw their two daughters getting along well, which made them extremely happy.


Even their tone of speech was filled with a joy that was not usually present: "Let's go, stop standing outside, let's go inside and talk."


When the four of them entered the hall, Shen Yuan and Shen Jingxiu, who were originally busy in the study, also came down from the upstairs study.


Upon seeing Shen Jinghe, both of them were visibly stunned.


Because no one expected him to come back today.


But after a brief moment of surprise, Shen Yuan quickly spoke up.


"Since everyone is here, let's start the meal."


Shen Yuan was the head of the family, and generally, when he said to start the meal, even if someone was late or absent, he would not wait anymore, nor would he delay because of anyone.


However, today, Su Yang did not immediately instruct the kitchen to serve the food.


"Let's wait a bit. I didn't know in advance that Jinghe would come back today, so I'll ask the kitchen to prepare two dishes that Jinghe likes. Let's wait a bit longer before we start the meal."


When Su Yang said this, Shen Jinghe immediately gave a glance to Wen Yan.


The meaning he wanted to convey was clear: What do you mean? You asked me to come back, but you didn't tell the family?


Wen Yan smiled mischievously, her eyes curved like crescent moons, silently lip-syncing -- 'surprise'.


Although there was no sound in their communication from beginning to end, it was still noticed by the onlookers.


Shen Jingxiu looked at Wen Yan, furrowing his brows slightly. When did the two of them become so familiar?


Not only Shen Jingxiu, but Shen Zhirou also noticed the small actions between Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe.


Although her expression remained unchanged, her fingers hanging by her side clenched the hem of her skirt tightly.


But the two parties involved completely failed to notice that they were being 'observed'.


Shen Jinghe immediately refused Su Yang's kindness.


"It's alright, Mom, I'm not picky. I can eat anything."


"It's alright, Jinghe. I'll just add two dishes, it won't take long. Honey, right?"


Su Yang said the latter sentence to Shen Yuan.


But before Shen Yuan had a chance to speak, Shen Jinghe coldly said, "Isn't there a rule in this house to have meals? There's no need to make an exception for me."


The tone of his words... He was clearly speaking to Shen Yuan.


Everyone in the room could hear it, and the atmosphere immediately became icy.


Especially Shen Yuan, his face looked very unpleasant.


Only Shen Jinghe, like a person without a care in the world, walked to the dining table and sat down.


Su Yang had already anticipated that the father and son would not have a good atmosphere when they met, so she didn't insist on asking the kitchen to add more dishes.


The whole family quickly took their seats at the long dining table.


Shen Yuan sat in the main seat, with Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe on his left, and Su Yang on his right. Next to Su Yang was Shen Zhirou.


If it were according to the habits of the previous owner, she would never have sat next to Shen Zhirou no matter what.


But Wen Yan pulled out the chair next to Shen Zhirou.


This could also be considered as her way of showing goodwill towards Shen Zhirou. When she sat down, she even smiled at Shen Zhirou.

However, after she smiled, Wen Yan immediately realized that her smile seemed a little untimely.


The whole family at this dining table, except for her, everyone seemed as if they were attending a funeral.


She dared to say that this was definitely the most 'difficult' meal she had ever eaten.


What's even scarier was that among this large family, not a single person could set the atmosphere.


It's all Shen Jinghe's fault! His presence creates a heavier atmosphere than Shen Jingxiu's coldness! I should have known not to call him back. Well, even if I want to blame someone, I should blame myself. He didn't want to come in the first place, but I insisted on having him come.


Shen Bingtuozi Jingxiu: She wants Shen Jinghe to come back, and Shen Jinghe came back? Why?

Shen Jinghe: Hmph, reaping what she sowed. Since she called me back, she should bear the consequences herself.


Ah, the one who feels the worst is probably Mrs. Su. Originally, she was so happy to see her son come back, prepared to cook more dishes, but now she probably doesn't find anything appetizing anymore.


Indeed, Su Yang, who couldn't eat anything, was really pitiful. Her own biological children couldn't compare to her, yet she's the one who cares about me the most.


Thinking about this, Su Yang lost even more of her appetite. The family that should have been harmonious has become like this now.


...It feels so uncomfortable, the atmosphere is really suffocating. Wen Yan is about to lose it, so she plans to liven things up.


"Come, everyone, let's eat. Mom, your favorite abalone, it smells delicious. Zhang Sao's cooking skills are getting better and better."


"Zhirou, you can't pick up this fish, let me help you. Steamed fish is the most delicious."


"Dad, your stomach wasn't feeling well recently. Are you feeling better now? Drink some millet porridge to nourish your stomach. I'll serve you a bowl."


"Big brother, do you want some soup? The soup is on my side, you can't reach it, right? Let me help you serve."


Wen Yan was determined to liven up the atmosphere. She was like a diligent little bee, her hands never stopped.


Shen Jingxiu noticed her intentions and declined her offer, "No need, I can handle it myself."


Wen Yan didn't argue with Shen Jingxiu and instead looked at Shen Jinghe, "What about you, Second Brother? Do you want some soup?"


Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan and didn't say anything, just a slight smile playing on his lips.

This smile didn't carry any goodwill, everyone could see that.


Others might not know what this meant, but Su Yang felt so heartbroken for Wen Yan.


She quickly put away her feelings of disappointment and picked up several chopsticks of food for Wen Yan.


"You should eat too. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come back with your Second Brother today? I see he's still sitting in your car."


Phew~ Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, glad that someone took over her role and didn't leave her alone in an awkward situation.


"Coincidentally, I didn't plan it beforehand. Dad, Mom, Big Brother, do you remember when I said I found something I like doing?"


In order to lighten up the atmosphere, Wen Yan had to include every person present.


"I originally planned to go to the company with Zhirou, but then I changed my mind and wanted to pursue acting. So, I searched online and found a casting call for a new drama production.


Originally, I just sent my information with the mindset of giving it a try, but unexpectedly, I passed the audition and received an interview invitation from the production company. They asked me to attend the interview yesterday.


And the result! To my surprise, one of the judges during the interview was Second Brother! Second Brother turned out to be the male lead of that movie. When I saw him, I was extremely happy."


Shen Jinghe: .... Haha, extremely happy indeed. She can really act.


"Then what happened?" This time, it was Shen Zhirou who took the initiative to ask, "Did Second Brother pass you in the interview?"


"I passed! But there were four judges in total, so it wasn't up to Second Brother alone. The director approved me. Isn't that right, Second Brother?"


Shen Jinghe scoffed, "It only means you got lucky."


"That's right!" Faced with Shen Jinghe's sarcasm, Wen Yan remained unfazed, smiling, "Luck is also a form of ability. If my luck wasn't good, how could I have met such wonderful parents? Isn't that right, Mom?"
