章節 8: Brotherly Love
編輯: Dragon Boat Translation
Soon, the group of children began to play together. But Shen Xue only stood at the side and watched them with disdain.
By the time the children were done playing, it was already noon. They were all sweating profusely, especially Emily.
Shen Yu looked at Emily, whose shirt was soaked, and smiled. He was usually a clean freak, but he didn't find Emily dirty at all.
Shen Xue was secretly happy when she saw Emily getting all dirty and sweaty. She knew that Shen Yu was even more particular than her when it came to sanitation. This time, Shen Yu would definitely dislike Emily.
However, the reality didn't turn out to be what Shen Xue had imagined. Shen Yu walked over and pinched Emily's little face gently. "How did you get so dirty? Quickly go wash up."
Shen Xue got even more resentful when she saw this scene. When had Shen Yu ever treated her like this?
"Okay, Brother." Emily bounced and hopped back into the house like a little smurf.
"Brother Yu, don't you have germaphobia?" Shen Xue stepped forward and raised her little face to look at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu's expression had already reverted to its initial coldness. He glanced at Shen Xue and followed Emily back into the house without saying a word.
Shen Xue's face turned pale as she watched Shen Yu walking away from her. It was all Emily's fault that Shen Yu was treating her like this. Jane only disliked Emily in the beginning, but it had now turned into actual grudge and resentment. She swore to herself that she would find a way to get rid of this girl.
"Grandpa..." Emily had just entered the house when she saw Shen Yan drinking, so she quickly ran towards him. However, as if she suddenly remembered something, she stopped halfway.
Shen Yan saw Emily pause and was puzzled. "Emi, what's wrong?"
Emily's hands were entwined behind her back and her fingers fidgeted subconsciously. She frowned and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Emi was playing outside just now and got myself dirty."
Shen Yan was a little taken aback by Emily's words, then he laughed out loud. This girl was truly adorable.
"It's okay. Grandpa doesn't mind Emi getting herself a little dirty," Shen Yan said and spread out his arms.
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Emily hesitated for a few seconds, but she too wanted to throw herself into Grandpa's arms, because she knew that Grandpa was really a good person that cared for her.
"Grandpa..." After Emily came to her senses, she immediately skipped over and jumped into Shen Yan's embrace.
Shen Yu had just entered the room when he saw this happen, and his face turned even colder than it usually was.
Shen Yan suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop a few degrees. He looked towards the door and found his grandson standing there. From his unmoving gaze, Shen Yan immediately realized that the kid was getting jealous of him being so close to Emily. He wanted to tease Shen Yu a little, and carried Emily up to sit on his lap.
The village woman could not believe what she saw. This poor orphan had really entered into an upper-class family and got so close to her new family members. Her brain quickly turned, she stood up and said with a smile, "Some of the clothes that Emi wore are still in my closet! Would Mr. Shen like to see them?"
He had given her so much money for a single meal yesterday. Seeing how much he loved Emi, just imagine how much more money he would give for her clothes?
"Let's take a look," Shen Yu said before Shen Yan could reply.
The woman could tell that among all the young boys and girls brought by the old man, the one that stood before her had the most influence over the Shen Yan's decisions. So, she quickly went into the house and took out a few sets of clothes.
Emily was puzzled and her eyes widened. Since when had she left clothes at this auntie's house? When the woman took them out, all of those clothes looked unfamiliar to her.
Emily turned towards Shen Yan and said, "Grandpa, these aren't my clothes."
Shen Yan frowned when he heard her. The Shen family was rich, but that didn't mean that they were willing to give away money to random people.
"Ah haha," the woman laughed nervously, "it's been so long. Emi has probably forgotten. Don't you remember that these are the clothes you wore when you were younger?" She hurriedly explained.
Emily tilted her head and tried to recall again.
Shen Yu looked at the clothes on the woman's hands as he frowned. Those clothes did look rather worn and even slightly torn. Seeing this made his heart ache again for Emily as he imagined what she had gone through.
