Chapter 496: The Son-in-Law Has a Way

~8 min read 1,443 words

Walking out of the playground, Shen Yan raised his wrist to take a look.

8:32.

At this hour, Chen Shanni was in class, so he dialed a call: "Go home now, I'm bringing someone for you to meet... I can't explain it clearly right now, you'll understand once you see her with your own eyes."

Following this, he pulled out his car keys and gave the Maybach not far away a light press.

The car lights flashed on.

Yin Yezi was full of astonishment, unable to understand how Shen Yan, a student, could drive to school; even though she didn't recognize the car emblem, she knew it was of great value just by looking at the body.

However, her mind was a mess at the moment, and she had no heart to think about such things.

After getting into the car, she couldn't help but ask about Chen Shanni: "What is her name? How old is she this year? Where is she from? Is she in the same major as you?"

Throwing out four questions in a row, one could see the urgency in Yin Yezi's heart.

Shen Yan used a gentle, spring-breeze tone to soothe her urgency and unease: "First, regulate your breathing and calm your mind. She is my classmate, her name is Chen Shanni, she is from Shanghai, and if nothing goes wrong, you are both 19 years old this year."

Chen Shanni?

Yin Yezi murmured the name, preoccupied; so her own surname was Chen.

"Then what other family does she have?"

"For the specifics, you can chat when you meet in a moment. Look! She is in that red Mercedes in front." Shen Yan gestured with his chin toward the corner on the left.

"Ah?" Yin Yezi's heart tightened, her gaze locked firmly onto that red Mercedes.

Then she revealed a bewildered expression.

What was going on?

Were university students all this extravagant, with everyone driving to school?

Five minutes later, Yin Yezi finally caught a glimpse of Chen Shanni's true appearance in the underground parking lot of the Danqingyuan Residential Complex; she actually looked exactly like her.

She had an intuition that this was definitely the family member she had been longing for.

And the moment Yin Yezi got out of the car, Chen Shanni, who had been smiling peacefully, saw her pupils shrink sharply; as if she had seen a ghost, she looked at Shen Yan with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Shen Yan, she... who is she?"

Shen Yan spread his hands: "Her name is Yin Yezi, a freshman in the Computer Science department.

I don't know the specifics too well either, but your father said you actually have a twin sister, only she was lost when you were one year old, and they searched for many years without finding her."

Through these few words, the two young women had a rough judgment of the current situation.

Yin Yezi was both happy and resentful; happy that her parents were alive and hadn't heartlessly abandoned her, and resentful that her parents had been so careless as to lose her.

Chen Shanni, on the other hand, was looking at the person in front of her—who was very likely her sister—with a face full of curiosity.

They really looked alike!

If it weren't for their different hairstyles and outfits, she would have thought she was looking in a mirror.

No!

Her sister was much thinner than her, her lips were pale, and she looked somewhat malnourished; her life before must not have been very easy, which made Chen Shanni ache with pity.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always longed for a sibling to play and mess around with.

Unfortunately, heaven did not grant her wish.

She never expected that after becoming an adult, such a huge surprise would suddenly pop up.

"Did my parents say when they would arrive?" Chen Shanni asked Shen Yan.

"Around 11 o'clock."

Hearing this, Chen Shanni stepped forward and took Yin Yezi's small hand, her voice indescribably gentle: "It's too hot here, let's go upstairs and turn on the Air Conditioner."

"Oh!" Yin Yezi let herself be pulled along woodenly, no longer having any trace of her cold, aloof posture.

If nothing went wrong, various tear-jerking scenes would follow; Shen Yan had no heart to participate, leaving behind a sentence: "You two chat slowly, I still have some business at the company to handle."

Then he drifted away.

By the time he returned, it was already dusk.

The Chen family dining room.

At this time, the four members of the Chen family were sitting happily around the dining table, with plates of delicious dishes laid out; the fragrance of the food drifted through the air, making anyone who smelled it salivate.

That's right, under the influence of "money power," the hospital had efficiently provided the paternity test report.

It confirmed that Yin Yezi was indeed Chen Jun's long-lost youngest daughter, and thus Chen Shanni's twin sister.

The family couldn't have been happier, fussing over Yin Yezi with all sorts of concern.

They wanted to make up for the 19 years of missing family affection.

Wei Wenli had taken her youngest daughter for a stroll through the commercial street; the style was no different from invaders sweeping through a village—as long as she thought the clothes looked good, she would pack them up and take them away without a word, leaving Yin Yezi no room to refuse.

And so, when they met again, the Yin Yezi presented before Shen Yan had been completely transformed.

In a sleeveless, halter-neck, French-style romantic dress, she looked like an exquisite little princess, only this little princess seemed somewhat reserved, her face cold, and she kept rubbing the hem of her skirt from time to time.

Entering the room and seeing this scene, Shen Yan understood immediately and congratulated them: "Congratulations to Uncle Chen and Aunt Wei, for the return of your beloved daughter."

Chen Jun and Wei Wenli were smiling like two fools.

"It's all thanks to you discovering it early, Shen Yan; we two have been waiting day and night, and we finally waited for this day."

Wei Wenli's voice was gentle, her eyes slightly red; she had clearly been crying not long ago, and as she spoke, she couldn't bear to take her eyes off her long-lost youngest daughter for even a second.

To this, Yin Yezi only bit her red lip, completely not knowing how to respond to this sudden care.

Chen Jun knew it wasn't realistic to expect his youngest daughter to accept him all at once, so he turned to greet him: "Come, come, Shen Yan, don't just stand there, sit down and let's eat and chat."

"Right!" Shen Yan didn't stand on ceremony and sat straight down next to Chen Shanni.

After some conversation, Shen Yan had a rough understanding of Yin Yezi's situation; since she could remember, Yin Yezi had lived in a commoner's home in the Fuyang District of Hangzhou, living with her foster mother, and although life was poor, it was still considered happy.

Unfortunately, fate was cruel.

When she was fifteen, her foster mother passed away unexpectedly, and for these past few years, Yin Yezi had been scrimping and saving, and outside of her studies, she had to go out to set up a street stall at night to earn money to make ends meet.

Often busy until the early hours of the morning.

Fortunately, Yin Yezi was self-reliant enough not to be defeated by life, and she stubbornly relied on her own efforts to break through the cage of life and spread her wings to reach Hangzhou University.

Upon learning the situation, Shen Yan looked at Yin Yezi opposite him in surprise; he hadn't realized the little girl had such resilience, comparable to Wu Yueer.

Yin Yezi did not like this look of pity at all, and she glared at him indignantly, looking fierce in a cute way, completely unlike her previous cold beauty demeanor.

Shen Yan couldn't help but smile, leaning close to Chen Shanni's ear to whisper: "Your sister doesn't seem very easy to get along with; you are better, the more I look at you, the more adorable you are."

Feeling the warm breath on her earlobe, Chen Shanni's heart fluttered, and she said shyly: "You're annoying, you only know how to say nice things."

"Then I won't say them in the future."

"If you don't want to say it, then don't!"

The scene of the two whispering was taken in by Wei Wenli and Chen Jun; the couple exchanged a glance with perfect tacit understanding, everything understood without words.

This son-in-law is a sure thing!
