Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Remember to See Dr. Chen for Your Mind

"I wonder which doctor treated my cousin?" Shen Yanhe said innocently, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "Such a divine doctor, my cousin must introduce me."

Gandan Xue and Shen Yingying’s expressions changed.

It wasn’t time yet for the Shen family to break completely with Shen Yanhe.

If she knew that Yingying had not actually been in a car accident, then...

Shen Yingying reacted quickly, lifting her hand to cover her mouth and coughing weakly twice, her voice frail, "I’m much better, the doctor said it was because I hit the back of my head, I need to rest at home."

"By the way, Yanhe," Shen Yingying, afraid that she would dwell too much on this issue, hurriedly changed the subject, her words carrying a trace of probing, "Did you see that Dr. Chen at the Biquan Hotel last night?"

She desperately wanted to know whether Chen Haowu’s injury had anything to do with Shen Yanhe, or perhaps with the Fu family.

Does the Fu family know that she was scheming against Shen Yanhe?

"Dr. Chen, huh..." Shen Yanhe’s eyes twinkled mischievously, and her voice slightly elongated. She didn’t want to continue playing with them, her cat-like eyes curving softly as she looked at her, but her gaze was icy, "I did meet him~"

"So I came today to ask, what did Dr. Chen mean by saying that my cousin gave me to him to play with?"

Shen Yingying hadn’t expected Shen Yanhe to be so blunt. Her body stiffened, her eyes slightly reddening, and her face showing a hurt and sad expression as if Shen Yanhe had bullied her, "Yanhe, how could you think that of me? You are my cousin, how could I, how could I possibly give you away to someone else?"

Inside, however, she was shocked and furious, and filled with hatred.

Dr. Chen said?

Could it be that Chen Haowu had betrayed her?

Otherwise, how would Shen Yanhe know she was the manipulator behind the scenes?

Gandan Xue, seeing Shen Yingying’s aggrieved expression, was extremely distressed. She stepped forward, wrapping her arms around her, and glared at Shen Yanhe while berating her, "Yanhe, how could you say such things about your cousin?"

"Your cousin arranged a medical doctor especially for Shen Huai’s sake. She has been so kind to you, and yet you speak of her this way. Do you have no conscience?"

Shen Yanhe smiled nonchalantly, "Conscience? I don’t have such a thing."

Gandan Xue was choked up by her response, looking at her as if she had seen a ghost.

She had never expected the person who used to be timid and hardly dared to resist when troubled by her could have such a sharp tongue.

And this version of Shen Yanhe made her feel uncontrollable.

Gandan Xue was filled with suspicion and unease.

Could it be... her previous timidity was all an act?

Indeed, Gandan Xue was right.

The timidity Shen Yanhe had shown before them was all an act, a performance.

After all, she had no money and no backing back then, her mother’s compensation was swallowed by her uncle, and publicly, she had to rely on her uncle’s help to hire a doctor for Shen Huai, while also considering her grandmother.

Faced with their moral blackmail and difficulties, she could only feign timidity and endure it.

But now that she had repaid her uncle’s favor by substituting in marriage for Shen Yingying, yet Yingying still wanted to use her to attract investments, plus her aunt deliberately told Shen Huai about her marriage...

All these things were stepping on her bottom line.

Shen Yanhe no longer wanted to pretend.

Shen Yingying grabbed Gandan Xue’s hand, preventing her from impulsively saying something, while she looked weakly at Shen Yanhe, "My mom is rather straightforward, she’s just worried about me, don’t take it to heart, Yanhe."

"By the way, when you met Dr. Chen last night, nothing happened, right?"

"I heard that he was hospitalized today, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Shen Yingying’s words were all probing.

Shen Yanhe smiled ambiguously, "Of course, it has nothing to do with me, nothing happened between him and me. Cousin, you’re asking this because you think..."

"Should something have happened between me and Dr. Chen?"

Shen Yingying’s smile stiffened, her heart secretly cursing, but her face still maintained a very weak facade, "Of course not..."

"That’s good." Shen Yanhe didn’t let her finish and interrupted, "I thought my cousin was already convinced something would happen between me and Dr. Chen."

Shen Yingying’s body tensed.

"I can understand why my cousin feels this way, after all, Dr. Chen is her boyfriend."

"It’s no wonder my cousin doesn’t like Yanhe and insisted that I marry him in her place."

"As for me," Shen Yanhe’s gaze fell on Shen Yingying, her smile beaming, "I’d like to thank my cousin here for giving Yanhe to me. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have met such a wonderful person as Yanhe. I also wish my cousin and Dr. Chen a lifetime of happiness together."

Gandanxue and Shen Yingying were so furious their faces nearly contorted, their lips trembling, and they were unable to speak.

They were so angry that they even forgot to ask if she had anything to do with that photo.

"Alright," Shen Yanhe, seeing their faces red and dark with rage, felt a surge of satisfaction. She stood up, light on her feet, and said, "It’s getting late, and Yanhe is waiting for me at home. I won’t stay for dinner."

"Oh, right." Shen Yanhe paused as she walked toward the door, tilting her head slightly to look at Shen Yingying with a meaningful expression, "Isn’t Dr. Chen a medical doctor? It’s no big deal that my cousin hit the back of her head in a car accident, but do remember, have Dr. Chen treat your brain."

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Gandanxue and Shen Yingying to respond and swiftly turned and left.

Shen Yingying, fuming, her chest heaving violently, forcefully swept a cup off the coffee table onto the floor, gritting her teeth, "That bitch! Why is she so pleased with herself? The one meant to marry Fu Yanhe was clearly me! She’s just a usurper, a fake!"

"What did I say before? Just endure it a bit longer," Gandanxue, also incensed by Shen Yanhe’s provocative words, thought of how radiant Shen Yanhe looked, felt even more suffocated, and reproached while clutching her chest, "You insisted that man, disabled and useless, wasn’t worthy of you!"

"Now look, all the good fortune has gone to that bitch Shen Yanhe!"

She completely forgot that it was she who didn’t want Shen Yingying to suffer, which is why she arranged for Shen Yanhe to take her place and endure the abuse.

Gandanxue, the more she thought about it, the more regretful she became, poking her daughter’s arm with frustration, "If you were Mrs. Fu now, who would dare to maliciously Photoshop you? They wouldn’t be able to suck up to you fast enough!"

She wouldn’t have had to endure that bitch Shen Yanhe either!

Shen Yingying, feeling wronged, said, "Mom, you didn’t see what Fu Yanhe’s face looked like; he was like a monster."

She had seen Fu Yanhe.

She had met him the day before she learned she was to marry him, at a banquet.

Even sitting in a wheelchair, that man’s presence was formidable. His face, as if bombed in an air raid, always carried an indissoluble, chilling coldness. His extremely dark eyes were as cold as snow, and his gaze merciless, as if nothing and no one could catch his eye.

Especially when she saw how a daring young starlet tried to approach him, only to have her hands broken by his entourage without any tender mercy and thrown out onto the street.

Moody, brutal, and fierce.

He was like a monster from Asura that had crawled out of hell, uncontrollable by anyone.

She didn’t dare approach him; she was afraid that getting too close would give her nightmares all night long.

But now, Shen Yanhe had married that monster and instead of being harmed, she was pampered and adored by that monster, which made her feel extremely aggrieved and regretful.

If she had just braved her fears and married him, she would have been the one adored by that monster. Chen Haowu would have no grounds to quarrel with her, and how could she possibly be the subject of malicious Photoshopping?

"Mom, it’s not too late," the more Shen Yingying thought about it, the more unwilling she felt, gripping Gandanxue’s hand, "The person who was originally supposed to marry Fu Yanhe was me, and he surely doesn’t know about Shen Yanhe taking my place."

As long as she explained herself to Fu Yanhe and played the victim, putting the blame of the substitute marriage on Shen Yanhe’s head.

Then, the position of Mrs. Fu would still be hers.

"Mom, create some trouble for Shen Yanhe; I need to find a chance to get close to Fu Yanhe."

What’s so bad about a disfigured, disabled man? She would endure it, bear with him who was both disfigured and disabled, guessing he wouldn’t live much longer, just endure until the disabled man was dead.

Even if that disabled man died, she would still be Mrs. Fu and might still wield the power of the Fu family.

Gandanxue frowned, "What are you thinking?"

"I intend to expose Shen Yanhe and set things right," Shen Yingying was supremely confident, "Don’t you want our family to have a Mrs. Fu?"

What if Shen Yanhe is pretty? Isn’t she just a straw bag?

She’s more educated than Shen Yanhe, knows more, and is also charming.

She’s better than her in every way.

Fu Yanhe would obviously know who to choose.

"How can I make trouble for her? She’s completely out of our control right now," Gandanxue certainly wanted to, but thinking about the uncontrolled Shen Yanhe made her feel stifled.

"She might be out of control, but she still has weaknesses," Shen Yingying’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Gandanxue, "Shen Huai, let’s start with Shen Huai."
