章 217: Chapter 217 has already been discussed.

"Not tell anyone?" Shen Mianmian seemed to guess what her dad was about to say, but before he said it, she still found it hard to believe.

"Right," Shen Jianhua nodded awkwardly, "Mianmian, the whole village knows that Siyu is about to receive the progress award. If we suddenly say you got it, everyone will definitely laugh at Siyu."

"Siyu is old enough to care about her reputation. If this gets out, she won't be able to save face. If she can't handle it and does something foolish, what then?"

"You are her older sister. You should give in a bit to her. Although the recognition will go to her, the money from the progress award will be yours, and neither your mom nor I will ask for it."

Shen Jianhua went on at length, in his view, this was the best solution, and it didn't shortchange Shen Mianmian in any way; anyway, everyone thought the progress award went to Zhou Siyu, so it wouldn't affect Shen Mianmian.

Hehe...

Shen Mianmian's heart had gone cold.
