Shen Yu was holding back his anger, his face dark, not daring to go against the orders of the two elders, but his attitude revealed the true feelings the Shen Family held towards Rong Yan.
At this moment, the whole family was embarrassed.
It’s true that the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
Sir Shen was the first to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere, smiling as he spoke to Lin Wei, "My grandson and granddaughter are alike, I will teach him properly in the future. Lin, we’ve known each other for decades, and our two families have always had good relationships from our generation to the younger generation. I don’t want this relationship to end when we’re gone. Since we can’t bee in-laws, the idea my daughter-in-law proposed seems pretty good, what do you think? This way, we can strengthen the ties between our two families."
Lin Wei hesitated, looked at him, then at his always indifferent grandson, unsure.
No matter how much he disliked Rong Yan, Rong Yan was already married to Shengxiao, and the child was already so big; he had to accept it even if he didn’t want to.
But Shengxiao was his chosen heir. Lin Teng had no sons, and his only daughter was weak and indecisive. When Lin Teng grows old, the Lin Family would still need an heir, and Shengxiao was his most favored choice!
If Shengxiao became the master of the Lin Family, then Rong Yan’s status would be considered rather lacking.
The Shen Family might not be as great as theirs, but they were regarded as one of the country’s top wealthy families, with connections everywhere. Their willingness to promote Rong Yan was already a significant concession... For Rong Yan, even if it was just being a foster daughter of the Shen Family, it would mean a qualitative leap for her status.
After briefly weighing the advantages and disadvantages, he looked up at Li Shengxiao, his gaze shifted to Rong Yan, "What do you think?"
He spoke, and the Shen Family felt more assured.
Old Madame Shen and Madame Shen showed relieved expressions.
As for Shen Yu, he was both resentful and mocking, as if it wasn’t their family asking to acknowledge Rong Yan as a foster daughter, but rather Rong Yan desperately clinging to them.
Everyone present could tell that Lin Wei speaking meant she was expected to make concessions, but unexpectedly, Rong Yan’s clear eyes met his, calmly and confidently, "Madame Shen was probably just joking with me, I didn’t take it seriously."
Which meant a refusal.
The Shen Family’s expressions changed, each showing surprise, as if they hadn’t expected her to refuse.
For a moment, they were at a loss for words.
Lin Wei also hadn’t expected her to refuse, but Rong Yan’s refusal was gracious and decent, not leaving anyone embarrassed, even if he was somewhat unhappy she didn’t know when to stop while she was ahead, he didn’t say anything, standing by her side, "This child, forget it."
The Shen Family collectively felt embarrassed, Shen Yu was the first to lose his posure, looking at Rong Yan, he said in a low voice, "Hehe, Miss Rong really has a heart."
He suddenly looked at everyone, smiled slightly, "Grandpa, I just came over to tell you something. The singer scheduled to perform at the evening banquet had a minor car accident, and may not be able to e tonight. I wasn’t sure what to do, then seeing Miss Rong, I suddenly remembered, Miss Rong is also a singer. How about asking Miss Rong later to help us by going on stage to sing a song?"
Rong Yan’s gaze turned cold.
Shen Yu acted without any scruples, looking at her, "Miss Rong, can you help us with this favor?"
In wealthy families, style is of utmost importance, frankly speaking, it’s about keeping up appearances, anyone who considers themselves part of the upper class never likes doing things that put them in the spotlight.
