Chapter 279: Is It Real?

Tian Xihua still wanted to use the pretext to show off, but Shen Jiang stopped him with one hand.

He saw Shen Shu's helplessness, and naturally knew that Shen Shu's days here were far from easy.

"What's wrong with saying a few fewer words! Little Shu is also a child we raised; can you bear to see him so sad?"

Tian Xihua didn't recognize his mistake at all, yet kept speaking forcefully.

"I do this for his own good; I can't just, once I have money, not even recognize my own parents!"

After speaking, Tian Xihua, angry, lifted the luggage, "Since we met until now you never cared about us, you aren't even happy to say a couple of words to him, you don't even tidy the room for us, this child was raised in vain!"

After Tian Xihua finished complaining, she again, dutifully, lifted Shen Zeyu's luggage and walked to a slightly larger guest room.

"You must learn from your brother, from now on bring honor to our Shen Family, let the Shen Family produce two promising descendants, so my husband and your dad won't have to endure humiliation!"

Tian Xihua's voice was loud, clearly reaching the room where Shen Shu, helpless, leaned against the wall feeling the chilling draft.

Facing this situation, Shen Shu could only endure.

The next morning, the clanging sounds outside woke Shen Shu; when he went out, he saw Tian Xihua busy in the kitchen.

Seeing him come out, Tian Xihua was obviously pleased.

"Little Shu, Mom's words yesterday were a bit harsh, but it was all for the good of you two brothers. Our family hasn't seen each other for such a long time; don't let a trivial matter ruin the family's harmony."

She, like presenting a treasure, placed the prepared dishes on the table, "Mom remembers you loved these dishes when you were little, brought them especially from home; try them, do they taste like your childhood?"

Shen Shu looked at his mother before him, feeling very conflicted.

He knew Tian Xihua's nature wasn't bad, just blunt, but it's the unintentionally spoken words that hurt the most.

As he was speaking, Shen Jiang and Shen Zeyu also came out of the room.

Tian Xihua glared at the father and son, "You two do nothing day after day, starting later than Little Shu; hurry up and get ready to come eat!"

Shen Zeyu pursed his lips, flung the chopsticks onto the table with a snap, "Mom, everything you make is what brother loves…"

Mid‑sentence, he realized his tone was wrong, froze timidly, and cautiously looked at Shen Shu.

Shen Shu: "Zeyu, just cook whatever you like; I'm used to it. I have to go to the company soon; parents, if there's any place you want to visit, let Zeyu take you there."

Hearing Shen Shu say that, Tian Xihua suddenly became anxious.

"Zeyu, you hurry too, soon go out with your brother. Little Shu, you said your younger brother graduated from university a long time ago and hasn't found a job, your current job is so respectable, just casually assign Zeyu a position in your company, as long as it's not tiring."

Tian Xihua, in a gentle tone, discussed with Shen Shu.

【5】 Shen Shu refused without a second thought.

Shen Shu, without even thinking, just refused.

"Our company's recruitment also has standards; both ability and education are indispensable."

"This year's hires are all graduates from the country's top universities, with abilities that are the top one in ten thousand."

Shen Zeyu has none of those.

Shen Shu cast a heavy gaze at the disappointed Tian Xihua, "Mom, don't be too anxious; I will find a way to get Zeyu a job in Haicheng."

It certainly won't have the Fu Clan's benefits, but Shen Shu certainly won't shortchange Shen Zeyu.

Shen Zeyu, anxious, scooped the rice from his bowl, grabbed a napkin, wiped his mouth casually, and looked at Shen Shu with solemn vows.

"Brother, just take me there; I promise I won't cause you trouble, I can do any work."
