Chapter 497: Chapter 278_3

Shen Jinghe came over only after he saw Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan leave.

Seeing Wenyan greet him, he couldn’t help but quicken his steps.

"Where are the others?" as soon as the family gathered, Shen Jinghe immediately asked.

Wenyan answered, "Big brother felt a bit unwell, so fourth brother accompanied him back first. Have you had enough lying down? Is it comfortable sunbathing on the beach?"

Shen Jinghe frowned slightly, "It’s comfortable, but my back hurts a bit."

"Ah? You didn’t get sunburned, did you?"

"No, it’s just that when I lay down, I didn’t notice and ended up sleeping on two conches. Here, for you, they’re quite pretty. Haven’t you always been collecting these things?"

After he finished speaking, Shen Jinghe took out two conch shells the size of half a palm from the pocket of his beach shorts.

Wenyan smiled and extended her hand to receive them, "Second brother, you’re so lucky. These conches you found just by lying down are prettier than the ones I dug out from the sand after walking for miles. Let’s take them back."

As she spoke, Wenyan casually put the conches into her little iron bucket.

Shen Jinghe saw the little iron shovel next to her bucket and asked, "So, are you still building castles?"

"Yes! I was supposed to have big brother help me, but he has gone back now."

"No worries, you have me. Pick a spot."

"Great! Once we build this castle, I’ll be completely satisfied. Which place should we pick, somewhere nearby?"

"Nearby won’t do. If you want to build a castle, you need wet sand. This place is too far from the shore. It’s not worth it to keep fetching water back and forth."

"Then let’s move forward a little. I’ll empty the shells and conchs from my bucket first."

"I’ll do it. You just find a spot you like."

"Okay, then I’ll go ahead."

Donning her sun hat, Wenyan ran off in a flash.

Shen Jinghe followed closely behind with the empty bucket and small iron shovel.

Su Yang watched the two of them, one after the other, and happily leaned on Shen Yuan’s shoulder.

"Look at our second, he’s actually quite considerate and good to his sister. The decision to adopt Yanyan was really correct."

"Yes," Shen Yuan nodded, "Yanyan really has had a big influence on her brothers and sister. But... honey, I was reminded by someone a while ago."

"Reminded of what?" Su Yang was curious. "Why are you only speaking halfway? That’s not like you."

"I had my concerns," Shen Yuan said, his expression also becoming serious, "I was afraid you’d get angry when you heard."

"Oh?" Su Yang’s curiosity was piqued, and she immediately sat up straight, "What is it? Hurry up and tell me."

"It was during the New Year when I met a few of my cousins. You know, most of their children have already settled down, the ones who married did, and the ones who found spouses did, only our children haven’t sorted out their marital affairs."

"Yes, I know. But there’s nothing we can do about it; our family situation is too complicated. Before this stage, our children’s marriages haven’t been the top priority in our family. We were always busy looking for our daughter and working on mending the relationship with our sons. How could we be like their families, talking about marriage as soon as their kids are of age? What did they say to you? What did they remind you of?"

"It’s related to Yanyan."

"Yanyan? What about Yanyan? If we’re talking about marriage, then Jingxiu, as the eldest, should be first in line. What does it have to do with our youngest Yanyan?"

"After all, Yanyan isn’t our own flesh and blood, and she has no blood relationship with our sons. Weren’t Yanyan’s origins exposed online recently? Many in the circle who know she’s our adopted daughter saw the news as well. My cousin reminded me to keep an eye on Yanyan, saying she might have ulterior motives towards the Shen Family. With the children unmarried, he worries she might resort to any means to stay in the Shen Family."

"What does he mean?!!" Su Yang understood immediately and indeed got angry, "Is your cousin out of his mind? Even if Yanyan made it known to the whole world that she has a biological father, she’s still our daughter, she doesn’t need to use any means to stay in the Shen Family for life.

And what about our sons, what’s his meaning by that? What does he mean by ’any means possible,’ by ’unmarried sons and daughters’! Can’t you see? They are siblings, they have a good relationship like real brothers and sisters! Also, I want to ask you, how did you respond to your cousin then?!"
