Chapter 440: A Plan Failed

Seeing Zhao Jiao’s expectant gaze, Wen Nian said awkwardly, “After all, Uncle has dominated the business world for so many years. It’s not easy to control it, especially with an outstanding son like Shen Jun. Moreover, I’m afraid Auntie’s family background won’t allow such a thing to happen.”

“What else?” Zhao Jiao continued to ask.

Wen Nian sighed. “Also, even if the mistress gives birth to a second heir, it will take more than ten years to nurture him. By then, Shen Jun will have already become famous. What they’re doing is just a waste of effort.”

Zhao Jiao blinked. Why did she find this daughter-in-law so pleasing to the eye? In the past, she had only thought that she was an upright and adorable child. She did not expect her to be so insightful and smart. Wen Nian could analyze the behind-the-scenes matter with so little information.

Shen Mo also praised Wen Nian in his heart. He had to admit that Wen Nian was indeed outstanding. With the Shen family’s background, although they did not need a marriage alliance, Shen Jun’s future wife could not be an ignorant little white rabbit. Wen Nian was more suitable.

Shen Jun looked at his parents’ expressions and roughly understood their attitude towards Wen Nian.

However, Wen Nian did not feel their attitude towards her at all. She only felt that she had said too much just now. This was not something an outsider like her should say.

Seeing Zhao Jiao and Shen Mo’s satisfied expressions while Wen Nian lowered her head and blushed, Shen Jun asked, “Dad, Mom, what do you think we should do about this?”

Hearing his question, Zhao Jiao put on a look of disdain. “You’re thinking about your parents now? Hmph! Little brat.”

Shen Jun muttered softly, “I’m a little brat. What are you and my father?”

Zhao Jiao was about to smash the bag in her hand when she saw Wen Nian looking over. She quickly changed back to her dignified expression, but the words she said were not dignified enough. “Even if I’m a rabbit, I’m the most beautiful, noble, and popular one. You’re an ugly rabbit.”

Wen Nian couldn’t help but laugh. She could feel Zhao Jiao and Shen Mo’s kindness. Even though Zhao Jiao appeared very arrogant, she had secretly placed the fruit fork closest to Wen Nian just now and pushed the fruit plate towards Wen Nian a few times.

Having lived two lifetimes, Wen Nian could naturally see the true nature under Zhao Jiao’s arrogant expression. However, she couldn’t understand why such two people, one gentle and one lively, had such a cold face like Shen Jun.

When she looked at Shen Jun again, her eyes were filled with confusion.

Shen Mo coughed awkwardly again. Zhao Jiao quickly leaned to the side and looked at him with disdain. “Don’t tell me you caught a cold? Don’t infect me!” “I’m sorry for making a fool of myself,” Shen Mo said to Wen Nian helplessly. “But your guess about this is not far from the truth. Moreover, the Jiang family has already taken action.”

Wen Nian’s eyes widened. She had only analyzed the information she had obtained in her previous life based on her memories. She did not expect things to really develop as she had expected.

Shen Mo nodded slightly at her. “You’re right. Shen Jun’s kidnapping back then was already a little strange. Not to mention the Jiang family, just based on the abilities of the Shen and Zhao families at that time, it’s not simple for a five-year-old girl like Jiang Chun to bring Shen Jun away from everyone.”

Wen Nian sat up straight. She knew that this matter was not as simple as she had imagined. Shen Jun’s father had already treated her as one of his own to tell her about this.

“Furthermore, the Jiang family is interested in acquiring the Shen family’s shares. They are still acquiring shares from some retail investors. However, this action…” Shen Mo took off his glasses and pressed the corners of his eyes. “I’m telling you this for no other reason than to tell you two to be careful. Jiang Wei is not a good person.”

“What about Huang Yue?” Shen Jun asked with a frown.

“I’m just looking for a lawyer. It’s nothing.” Zhao Jiao’s words were filled with disdain. Obviously, she knew what kind of person Huang Yue was and did not have a good impression of her. “I’m just looking for a lawyer. I don’t do anything else. No one will know that this matter has anything to do with the Shen family.”

Zhao Jiao’s words were casual, but Wen Nian lowered her eyes. She knew that Huang Yue’s plan had failed. The Shen family had only agreed to find a lawyer and wouldn’t care about anything else. She could only pray for herself.

Just as the few of them were basically discussing this matter, an old voice sounded.. “Why did you say that Jiang Wei would take down the Xu family? Do you know the forces in the capital very well?”
