The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 611 - 343

By the time Wenyan and Shen Jinghe set off the next day, Shen Jinghe was in for an eye-opener.

Not only did the young master Shen Jinghe personally help Wenyan with her luggage and busied himself around her, but the eldest brother had also thoughtfully prepared some snacks for Wenyan for the journey?

Shen Jingchuan was even more over the top as he actually drove a separate car just to visit the set.

His reason was that he was free anyway, so he might as well take a tour and at the same time provide a live broadcast for their mother.

The key point was, their parents took it all in stride.

Shen Jinghe’s action of opening the car door for Wenyan was as smooth and natural as flowing water.

Just when the car was about to start, Shen Jingchuan couldn’t resist leaning on the car window to say a few more words to Wenyan.

Wenyan stuck her head out and waved goodbye to the person outside the car, and Shen Jingxiu actually smiled.

It wasn’t until their car had driven away and Shen Jingxiu set off for work that Shen Jingcheng finally asked Su Yang.

"Mom, it feels like everyone has changed a lot, they’ve all gotten really close to Wenyan. It’s like my sister has some kind of magic."

"Right? You’ve noticed too. Yanyan is indeed a very special child; no one dislikes her. Once you spend more time with her you’ll like her too. The changes in your brothers have Yanyan to thank."

Shen Jingcheng nodded and asked, "What about Wenyan, then? Has she changed? Or is there something strange about her?"

"Strange? I’m actually more puzzled by your question. Why do you ask, has something about her seemed strange to you?"

"Not at all?" Shen Jingcheng carefully observed Su Yang’s facial expressions. "Not even a tiny bit strange?"

"Not at all." Su Yang hadn’t even considered the fact that she could hear Wenyan’s innermost thoughts.

Seeing no change in Su Yang’s expression, Shen Jingcheng became even more certain that he was the only one who could hear Wenyan’s thoughts.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Don’t you think Jingchuan and the others have gotten too close to Wenyan?"

"Isn’t that a good thing?" Su Yang didn’t see that as an issue at all.

But she quickly caught on, "What do you mean by ’too close’?"

"Mom, now that they are not around, I’ll just say it. By ’too close,’ I mean they’ve gone beyond the typical sibling relationship."

"Impossible," Su Yang said firmly. "Yanyan is a girl with a sense of propriety. So are your eldest and second brothers."

"What about Shen Jingchuan? Is he the same?"

Shen Jingcheng pressed on, leaving Su Yang bewildered for a couple of seconds.

"Jingchuan, he... he is indeed the most reckless among your brothers, but... wait, do you really think that the feelings between Jingchuan and Yanyan exceed those of siblings? How did you figure that out, I haven’t noticed anything?"

Shen Jingcheng thought about the unexpected skin contact between Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan on the balcony that night, but then he swallowed his words before they left his lips.

He changed the subject and said, "It’s just a guess. Don’t twins have telepathy? I feel that Jingchuan’s feelings for Wenyan might be extraordinary. Mom, if my hunch is right, don’t you think it’s inappropriate?"

"It’s not appropriate, Yanyan is your sister. Although there’s no blood relation between her and us, she’s been the child I’ve cared for since she was in her teens."

"Exactly, that’s what I mean."

"However, I’ve come to terms with it over the past two years. To be honest, I remember a couple of years ago when our whole family went on vacation, your dad even mentioned this to me. You weren’t there, and I can’t recall why we ended up talking about this, but I just couldn’t accept the idea back then.

But two years have passed, and you all seem to have no intention of getting married. I’m really torn inside. Part of me wants my children to always be by my side, stay within this big family. Yet, I also want you to settle down on your own.

But each of you has your own ideas, and who listens to their parents these days? Blind dates, you avoid them; relationships, you don’t engage. There was a time when I was truly anxious. However, after the anxiety passed, I understood.

Life is for experiencing the world, not living solely for your parents or to get married and have children at a certain age. You can choose not to marry, or even if one of you brothers brings a boyfriend home, I can accept that.

So, if Yanyan and Jingchuan have truly fallen in love as you said, I have no objections. After all, they aren’t really biological siblings, and it doesn’t violate any moral conventions."

Shen Jingcheng: "......" After all that talk about it being inappropriate, to end up with such a heartfelt reversal.

Since Su Yang didn’t shy away from the matter at all, Shen Jingcheng decided to speak frankly.

"What if one day all three of them fall for Wenyan?"

"???" Su Yang didn’t speak, but Shen Jingcheng thought he could already see a face full of question marks.

He continued, "Didn’t you just say that no one could dislike Wenyan?"

"That’s an exaggeration, though."

"Right, but what if they fall out over Wenyan and it becomes very unpleasant? What then?"

"Impossible," Su Yang responded with the same certainty as before, "If that day ever comes, Yanyan won’t let it get to that point. The harmonious relationship between the brothers is largely thanks to Yanyan; she wouldn’t just watch the relationship between the older ones fall apart. And you said Yanyan is close to Jingchuan, right? If she truly likes one of them, I believe the other brothers would want her to be happy. If Yanyan and one of your brothers are truly in love, wouldn’t you want them to be happy?"

Shen Jingcheng nodded: "Of course, I want my siblings to be happy."

"That’s settled then, I believe my children know how to handle themselves in both personal and professional matters. Your father and I won’t interfere too much in either."

"Then I understand," Shen Jingcheng said, deciding to end the conversation now that he’d gauged his parents’ stance.

For a long while after that, Shen Jingcheng didn’t see Wenyan again, until they held a video conference online.

Most of Wenyan’s movie "The Silent Secret" was shot on location, so the filming period was longer than that of a typical studio film, taking up almost half a year.

Not until they wrapped up filming did she return home once.

This time she had lost some weight and gotten quite tanned, leaving Su Yang incredibly worried.

At the welcome-home dinner, Su Yang held her hand and said, "Stay at home and rest for a while this time, look at you, working as a director seems even harder than being an actor."

During filming, Wenyan indeed felt the strain, but now she was just happy. Although the movie hadn’t been released yet, she felt a great sense of achievement for having made a complete film.

So, she didn’t feel it was hard at all: "Mom, being a director is really interesting, I feel such a sense of accomplishment right now, and I just can’t stop."

"What do you mean, you want to continue making movies, and you’re going out again?"
