Chapter 40

When Shen Chun walked downstairs, she found that Shen Chi already sitting at the dining table. He was fiddling with the cutlery in front of him, as if he had obtained an interesting toy.

Seeing the two of them walk down, the little fellow’s eyes lit up. “Sister! You’re finally awake!”

Shen Chun nodded and patted Shen Chi’s head before sitting down beside him.

Shen Chi smiled at Fu Shi happily. “Brother-in-law, can we start eating now?”

Fu Shi nodded. “If you feel hungry in the future, you can eat first. You don’t have to wait for us.”

“No.” Shen Chi’s gaze followed Shen Chun closely. “I have to wait for my sister.”

After dinner, Shen Chi said very seriously, “Sister, I want to go back to school.”

Shen Chun was a little surprised. She didn’t want to send Shen Chi to school so early, since he was very weak and sickly. After their parents’ death and being kidnapped by the ghost bird, she was afraid that Shen Chi would find it difficult to adapt to school now.

“Are you sure you want to go back to school?”

Shen Chi nodded vigorously and clenched his fists. “I have to go to school and learn some skills so that I can protect you in the future!”

Shen Chun was touched. She hugged Shen Chi and said, “I respect your decision, but if you encounter any trouble in school, you have to tell me, okay?”

“Okay!” Shen Chi stretched out a finger and hooked it with Shen Chun’s. “I’ve already made a pinky promise with you, so I’ll definitely do it.”

It wasn’t that easy for Shen Chi to go to school. The first thing Shen Chun had to do was to go to her uncle’s house to get Shen Chi’s identification as well as their things that were left there.

“Then we’ll go to our uncle’s house tomorrow and get our things back. Then, I’ll pick a school to send you to”

“Okay!”

Fu Shi asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”

“No need.” Shen Chun had her own concerns. If Liu Lan and her uncle found out about her marriage to Fu Shi, she wouldn’t be able to have any peace in the future. This family was like parasites. Once they were infected, they wouldn’t be able to get rid of them.

Fu Shi was a little disappointed, but he respected Shen Chun’s decision. “Alright, I’ll arrange for a driver to send you there tomorrow.”

The next morning, Shen Chun brought Shen Chi to their uncle’s house.

Shen Chun pressed the doorbell and waited for a long time before Liu Lan finally walked over and opened the door. Then, Liu Lan sized up the siblings with disdain.

“After fooling around outside for so long, you guys still have the cheek to come back? Why don’t the two of you just die outside, like your short-lived parents?”

When she said this, Shen Chun and Shen Chi’s expressions changed.

Shen Chun raised her hand and slapped her face. “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely live longer than you.”

Liu Lan covered her face and pointed at Shen Chun as she scolded, “Shameless b*tch! How dare you hit me? No wonder your parents died early. They were probably angered to death by you.”

Shen Chun sneered. Just as she moved his hand, Liu Lan immediately dodged a few meters away.

“Just you wait! You little b*tch!”

“You’re not allowed to badmouth my sister!” Shen Chi stood in front of Shen Chun, his face flushed with anger. “You’re an old witch!”

“Enough!” Shen Zheng walked in from outside. Then, he locked the door calmly and said sternly to Liu Lan, “It wasn’t easy for the two children to come back. Why are you shouting here? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if others heard you?!”

Immediately after, he said to Shen Chun, “Don’t take it to heart. Your aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She’s been extremely worried while you and Little Chi were away.”

“Worried?” Shen Chun looked at him coldly. “I think she was probably worried that we won’t die. Otherwise, why would you guys buy such expensive insurance for me and Little Chi?”

Shen Zheng’s expression became a little stiff. “What nonsense are you talking about? We’re your family. Shouldn’t we be worried about you guys? You think too badly of people.”

“Stop pretending.” Shen Chun felt disgusted when she saw Shen Zheng’s expression. “Do you really think I don’t know that after Mom and Dad passed away, you immediately changed the beneficiary of our insurance to the two of you? For the sake of compensation, you even wanted to push me into the river and drown me. Are the two of you even human?!”

Shen Zheng was shocked. He didn’t expect his naive and stupid niece to know these things.

The smile on his face disappeared, and his expression suddenly became sinister and terrifying.

“Since you know, don’t even think about walking out of this door alive today!”
