The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Shaojia is Always the Treasure of the Shen Family Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Shaojia is Always the Treasure of the Shen Family Shen Shaojia stood up and handed a few sheets of paper to Elder Pei.

“Grandpa Pei, you don’t need to feel sad for me. You watched me grow up. I’ve always been well and haven’t been wronged.”

“Ah… you’re right. Grandpa isn’t sad, and Grandpa isn’t crying. It’s just that as I age, my eyes become watery…”

Elder Pei clumsily wiped his tears, but the more he wiped, the more they came.

If Ayue truly forgot her child, even if Shaojia found her, she would only face a mother who had forgotten everything. How painful would that be for Shaojia’s heart!

How could this child’s fate be so bitter?

Elder Pei let out a deep sigh.

“It was Xuan Family’s child. When Ayue had an accident back then, I was too ashamed to meet Old Xuan. You all know that Jundu never liked doing business since he was a child. He only liked doing research, and Ayue was a junior of his at the institute.”

Elder Pei’s face was filled with bitterness, and he shook his head and sighed several times.

“We, a few old friends, came out of the war, and now we’re all going back to the grave. The one I am most ashamed to meet is Old Xuan!”

Elder Shen frowned and said, “The girl from the Xuan Family? Now that you mention it, Shaojia does resemble the girl when she was young. Why didn’t you mention this before?”

Elder Pei gave a bitter smile.

“After Ayue left, Jundu privately recognized her as his wife, and I agreed with his choice.”

“But she’s gone. How could we propose to the Xuan Family? Old Xuan would’ve beaten me to death! I was too ashamed to say anything, so I didn’t mention it.”

“Jundu’s been aching all these years, and I’m not afraid of you laughing at him for this!”

“A few years ago, that child almost went looking for Ayue. I stopped him and sent him to Qingshan County, hoping that getting involved in some affairs would help him divert his attention. I couldn’t just let the elderly bury the young, could I?”

“As a result, when he went there, his spirits lifted, and I was delighted! Although Ajue’s father was also reckless and cowardly, fortunately, I still had Ajue. Jundu was alone, with nothing, and I really feared he might precede me in death one day.”

Elder Pei wiped his face.

“I was so scared! Last year, when Jundu returned, he took me to the hospital and talked for a long time, even mentioning Ayue. But it seemed like he wasn’t upset, so I thought he had moved on, but unexpectedly…”

Unexpectedly, it was then he learned about Shen Shaojia and his matching DNA!

“Shaojia, Grandpa doesn’t ask you to forgive Jundu, nor does he ask you to return home. I just… hope you won’t blame him. His days have been hard too!”

No one spoke for a while.

Elder Shen let out a heavy sigh.

“He suffered, so he can wrong our Shaojia? In this matter, both Qingwu and Shaojia are innocent. Our Shen Family never thought of abandoning Shaojia.”

“Elder Pei, look at Shaojia, such a good child, she’s the pride of our whole family! Even if there are reasons for it, your son is too much. How could he just forget about such a wonderful child?”

Elder Pei gave a bitter smile and said, “He wouldn’t dare!”

Qingwu suddenly spoke up, “Grandpa Pei, does Uncle Pei have depression?”

When she last saw Pei Jundu, Qingwu noticed his mental state wasn’t well, and internally he seemed extremely closed off.

Elder Pei nodded.

“Yes, but it’s much better these past two years. At least he no longer seeks to join Ayue in death.”

Tu Lan looked at the noticeably aged Elder Pei and helplessly said, “It’s not easy for you either!”

“Jundu scares me. I’m afraid when I pass, Ajue will be alone too, so I urge him to get married earlier, but that boy simply ignores me!”

Pei Jue helplessly said, “Grandpa, you have a different reason every time you urge a marriage, so how could I dare to believe?”

Shen Shaojia looked at the whole family. If it weren’t for her situation, the whole family wouldn’t have gathered like this.

She cleared her throat and spoke loudly.

“I have thought it through! I agree to return to the Pei Family, but I am Shen Shaojia and will always be Shen Shaojia. Grandpa Pei is my grandpa. It’s like having an additional loving elder, which is a gain for me! As for him… I currently don’t want to see him, but I’m not blaming him.”

Elder Pei looked at Shen Shaojia, nodding repeatedly.

“Yes, yes, it’s up to you. It’s up to you. Your surname is Shen, being Shen is good! Elder Shen, I need to thank you for raising such a good granddaughter…”

Elder Shen snorted, though his expression improved considerably.

“Of course my granddaughter is good! Both of my granddaughters are the best! I’m telling you, Shaojia just sees you as a poor old guy, but she’s still our Shen Family’s child.”

“I know, the Pei Family won’t be lacking in what should be given to Shaojia, and Shaojia can do whatever she wants. In the future, both the Pei Family and the Shen Family will be her home!”

Elder Zuo Jing’an muttered, “How did it become your family’s? I was hoping someday Shaojia would take my surname Zuo. You’ve really profited from this, old man…”

Shen Shaojia hugged Zuo Jing’an’s arm, “Grandpa, I have two grandpas, but you’re my only grandpa!”

“Now that’s more like it.”

Tu Lan coughed, “In the future, Shaojia and Qingwu might as well live with us. Your Shen Family has plenty of kids; our family is too quiet.”

Elder Pei: “Sure, I’ll move to your home too, with Qingwu and Shaojia.”

Tu Lan angrily said, “Do you have any shame?”

“How am I shameless? Elder Shen, tell me. Qingwu will be our family’s granddaughter-in-law, and Shaojia is our granddaughter. We’ll all be family sooner or later!”

“Get lost! Are you overstepping your bounds? These are the Shen Family’s treasures, and you better get out quickly!”

Elder Shen looked at Elder Pei with anger, cursing as he chased him and Pei Jue out.

“I can’t stand you people with the Pei surname!”

“You people with the Shen surname aren’t any good either! Oh, Qingwu and Shaojia are exceptions; the rest are scoundrels!”

The entire Shen Family pretended they hadn’t heard anything.

Shen Shaojia secretly tugged Qingwu’s hand, covering her face as she quietly spoke, “Qingwu, I want to go out for a bit. Do you want to come with me?”

“Where to?”

Shen Shaojia pulled Qingwu into the car, fixing her seatbelt as she explained, “I want to go see the Xuan Family… Qingwu, you can drive, right?”

“I can.”

Qingwu didn’t hesitate, starting up the car. After driving a considerable distance, she finally said, “But I don’t have a driver’s license.”

Shen Shaojia: “…”

I was careless. I should have brought along a brother-in-law.

If something happened to my sister without a license, what would I do?

“Then maybe we should wait for Fourth Brother? I’ll call him?”

Qingwu’s gaze stayed on the road ahead. Her drive was steady, her eyes calm.

“Sister, didn’t you find me precisely because you didn’t want them to know? I’m quite skilled, and I know where the Xuan Family is.”

“But it’s not safe. Should we take a cab?”

Qingwu glanced at the parked motorbike by the roadside and slightly raised her chin.

“Then let’s drive that; I have a motorcycle license.”

Half an hour later, a sleek black motorbike rode into the Xuan Family estate and stopped by the flowerbeds.

Shen Shaojia had hugged Qingwu’s waist the whole way as the cold wind calmed her previously chaotic heart.

As she gazed upon this estate, Shen Shaojia’s eyes filled with a complex emotion.

“Is this the place?”

Was this the place where her mother had lived?

A gentle voice sounded from inside the door.

“Isn’t this the eldest daughter of the Shen Family? Why are you standing outside and not coming in? And who might this be…”
