Master Shen’s face eased. “Let’s eat first, don’t wait for her.”  He looked at Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan and smiled. “Lan Lan didn’t say what you both like to eat, so we just made some dishes.
If you have any problem with your appetite, you must tell Grandpa.”

Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan rushed to nod, “Grandpa Shen, you are welcome.
Our taste is similar to Qinglan’s.
We are not picky about food.”

Master Shen smiled more and more peacefully. “You girls must drink more soup tonight.
I’ve asked Sister Song to stew this soup specially.
It is said that this beauty soup is especially good for girls.”

“Thank you Grandpa Shen.”  The two girls thanked with a smile.

Just then, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door, and in a short time a gentle and graceful figure appeared at the door of the dining room.
She was wearing a chiffon dress, her long hair curled slightly, with delicate makeup on her face, and all over with the temperament of a famous lady.

Her face was covered with apologies. “Grandpa, Mom, I’m sorry, I was stuck in traffic and came back late.”

The Shen patriarch gave her a look and said lightly, “Now that you are back, come and have dinner.”

Shen Xitong sat down beside Chu Yunrong and smiled apologetically at Shen Qinglan. “These two are my sister’s friends.
I’m really sorry.
I wanted to come back earlier, but the traffic was so bad that I kept you waiting.”

Her smile was very sincere and her words were also very kind, giving people full of goodwill.

Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan smiled, “Hello, Shen … Sister.”  They didn’t know what to call her, they finally added a sister, after all, the other party was older than them.

The smile on Shen Xitong’s face became more sincere. “We are an introvert family and have only few friends.
It is rarely to take friends to our house.
We are very happy that you can come to our house as guests.”

In a table full of people, only Shen Xitong herself did the talking, and she didn’t feel any bashfulness at all.
She put up a host attitude to entertain Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan, people who didn’t know would think that she was their friend.

“Wasn’t it a busy day outside, don’t you feel hungry?”  Shen Junyu lightly said.

The smile on Shen Xitong’s face was stiff for a moment, but instantly returned to its’ natural form. “Yes, I am hungry.
You’re welcome, don’t need to be polite.
Just feel like in your own home.”

Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan couldn’t help turning over a supercilious look in their hearts.
They finally understood why Shen Qinglan was so cold when she mentioned the adopted daughter and sister.
This person was not pleasing indeed.

Just then, a bowl appeared in front of Fang Tong, and hand with clear joints was pulling away from the bowl.
Shen Junyu’s sexy voice came from the top of her head. “Grandpa said that this soup is good for girls, so drink it more.”

Then he picked up another bowl and gave it to Yu Xiaoxuan, then another one to Shen Qinglan.
He completely ignored Shen Xitong.

Fang Tong did nothing but calmly said thank you.
However Yu Xiaoxuan, just hearing the words from Shen Junyu, her ears gone red.
As Fang Tong looked her like this, she let out a deep sigh, she really can’t understand where Yu Xiaoxuan passion to Shen Junyu came from.

Shen Xitong’s face, which was ignored by Shen Junyu, was somewhat ugly.
There were four girls, only she the one get not considered.
To say Shen Junyu didn’t mean it, Shen Xitong would not believe it.
She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, hinting that she didn’t care.

“Lan Lan, take your friends around the courtyard after dinner and stay later for dinner in the evening.”  The Shen old man spoke.

Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan haven’t come to refuse, and Shen Qinglan lightly responded, “Sounds good.”

Shen Xitong stunned, although it was only some words, but she recognized from the sentence, the Shen patriarch’s love for Shen Qinglan and her two friends.

Back when she was in high school, Shen Xitong also took her classmates home, at that time, the Shen’s old man didn’t invite her friends to have a meal.
After her classmates left, he directly said that later she were not to take outsiders home, since then, she never invited friends to her home.

And now Shen Qinglan, she took her friends’ home, the Shen patriarch attitude was in two different extremes, although already known that the eccentric Shen patriarch was entwined with Shen Qinglan, but Shen Xitong’s heart was still inevitably uncomfortable.

“Your grandfather is right, Qinglan.
You and your friends take a walk in the courtyard for a while.
The scenery in the courtyard is still good.
Later I will ask Sister Song to make a dessert for you in the afternoon.
I think Xiao Xuan still likes Sister Song’s cooking.”
  ChuYunRong echoed with a smile.

Yu Xiaoxuan smiled sheepishly, “I’ve made my aunt troublesome.”

“What’s the trouble here? Qinglan doesn’t like sweet food, while Tongtong always talks about keeping her body fit and doesn’t eat very often.
Sister Song knows that you like to eat and I couldn’t tell how happy she is.”

Shen Qinglan didn’t know about Sister Song’s unhappiness, but she knew that Shen Xitong was not happy at the moment, although she has been slightly lowering her head and biting her lips, Shen Qinglan could tell from her eyes.

Shen Xitong thinks she is very good at hiding her feelings, but she doesn’t know that whenever she is unhappy, she will do this subconsciously.

Shen Xitong’s heart was still so narrow, just a little thing could make her jealous.

Shen Qinglan smiled lightly and silently drank her bowl of soup.

After the meal, Shen Qinglan took Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan for a stroll in the courtyard.

Fang Tong has been looking thoughtful ever since she walked out from the Shen house. “Qinglan, is your relationship with your foster sister very bad?”

Shen Qinglan’s footsteps made a slight pause. “Did I show myself clearly?”

Fang Tong shook her head. “It’s not you, it’s her.
She seems very dissatisfied with your family’s fondness.”
  She was somewhat uncertain, after all, it was only her intuition.

“Hey, Fang Tong, did you feel it too? I thought it was my mistake.”  Yu Xiaoxuan said, somewhat puzzled, “However, she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
You are your mother’s own and grandpa Shen’s granddaughter, shouldn’t they treat you well?”

“Some people can’t think like normal people.”  Shen Qinglan’s light sentence, confirmed their speculation.
Both of them were stunned.

“Sister, you are here.
I have been looking for you for a while.”
  Behind them came the voice of Shen Xitong.

The three girls turned to look and saw Shen Xitong standing there, smiling at them.

“Grandpa and Mom are going to take a nap.
My brother is busy too.
I can’t sleep, so I go to find you.
Do you mind?”
  Shen Xitong explained while she looked at Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan with a kind smile.

Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan exchanged glances, they couldn’t guess when did she appeared behind them, and how many conversations had she heard about her.
If she could still talk to them with such a smile after hearing all of them, then they had to say that this person’s endurance is first-class.

Shen Qinglan said that they think too much.
Shen Xitong is just a newcomer and has not heard their conversation at all.

“I think I do mind.”  Shen Qinglan lightly said.
