The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 454 - 264

Chapter 454: Chapter 264

Chapter 454 -264

The other members of the Shen Family were playing cards in the living room, the kind where you stick a note on yourself if you lose.

It was Wenyan who suggested this activity, as just waiting around in the living room was really boring.

Initially, Qin Yulong said she didn’t know how to play, so Wenyan volunteered to be her partner.

Seeing that her two daughters had teamed up, Su Yang simply decided to join them spontaneously.

Thus, the family of six was divided into male and female teams.

Shen Jingchuan, full of bluster, boasted that his card skills were exceptional, declaring that he could easily handle a one-versus-five match.

But to his surprise, his boastful words backfired instantly; he kept getting terrible cards, while it was Wenyan who enjoyed a streak of dumb luck, continually trouncing Shen Jingchuan.

In the end, Shen Jingchuan was nearly turned into a mop with all the sticker notes.

“Okay, okay, I give up. Is that good enough for you? I’m really jinxed today. If we keep going like this, I’ll run out of luck completely,” he said.

“How can we stop now?” Wenyan was having a blast, “Who was the one saying he could take on five? Now you can’t even handle me alone. Come on, first put on the sticker note from the last round,” she insisted.

“Cut it out, heroine; I can’t take it anymore,” he pleaded.

“No way, you’ve got to accept your loss,” she said firmly.

“Well, I don’t want to bet anymore.”

“That’s not up to you.”

The two of them, one chasing and the other running away, looked just like two kids who’d never grown up.

Although this behavior was quite childish, it was so joyful to watch that Shen Yuan and Su Yang didn’t stop them.

Not only that, but Su Yang was even cheering for Wenyan.

“Go Yanyan! Catch up with your fourth brother; show him he can’t play around!” she encouraged.

Right at that moment, Shen Jingxiu returned with Ji Yuanzhou.

The servant opened the door, and the first sight that greeted them was this playful chase scene.

At this moment, Wenyan had still not noticed that Shen Jingxiu had brought a friend home, and she was relentlessly pursuing Shen Jingchuan.

Shen Jingchuan immediately made a time-out gesture at Wenyan.

“Alright, that’s enough; let’s stop. We have guests over,” he announced.

The two had been running so eagerly that they completely missed the sound of the car parking outside.

Shen Jingchuan was able to see Shen Jingxiu and the others because he was facing the door.

So Wenyan thought that Shen Jingchuan was just making excuses.

“Humph, looking for an excuse, are you? If I don’t catch you today, then my last name isn’t the same as yours,” she retorted.

Shen Jingchuan: “Your last name is already the same as mine.”

From their first meeting, Ji Yuanzhou was struck by Wenyan’s vibrant charm, but he never expected her to be so lively and playful in private.

He followed Shen Jingxiu into the house and took the initiative to greet Shen Yuan and Su Yang.

“Uncle Shen, Aunt Su, long time no see; you both look as young as ever. Aunt Su, these flowers are for you.”

Wenyan: “…” So Shen Jingchuan really hadn’t lied to her!

She turned around and looked towards the door.

With that glance, she unexpectedly found that the newcomer had a familiar face.

“It’s you?” she exclaimed.

“It’s me,” Yuanzhou replied with a smile, handing over the flowers and having his bottle of wine taken away by the servant, “I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.”

Everyone else but Shen Jingxiu: “…” They knew each other?

Su Yang even asked outright, “Did you two already know each other?”

“Not really,” Wenyan began to explain, “It was just that a few days ago during a meal, I accidentally dropped something and Mr. Ji happened to pick it up. That’s when we met. I hadn’t realized he was my older brother’s good friend.”

“Well, that really is quite the coincidence. In a city as big as A City, for something like this to happen to you two. Come here, Yuanzhou, let me introduce you to Jingxiu’s two sisters, as well as Jinghe and Jingchuan, whom you probably haven’t seen in many years,” Shen Yuan said.

Yuanzhou nodded: “It’s been a long time indeed, but I’ve seen Jinghe’s movies.”

Yuanzhou said as he took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Jinghe and then Shen Jingchuan, not missing a single courtesy.

Compared to the Shen brothers, he seemed extremely sociable, making this dinner much livelier than ever before.

Even as they were seeing Yuanzhou to the door, Su Yang still wore a wide smile.

Just as Yuanzhou was about to get into the car, Wenyan suddenly remembered something.

“Wait a moment, Yuanzhou.”

Yuanzhou turned to look at her, a bit surprised, “What’s it?”

“Your thing, I almost forgot to return it to you. Just wait for me; I’ll go and get it now.”

Yuanzhou, remembering the handkerchief, paused in his steps.

“Okay.”

Wenyan hurried upstairs.

Now, aside from Shen Jingxiu, everyone was curious as to what Wenyan had to return to Yuanzhou.

It wasn’t until Wenyan returned swiftly that Shen Jingchuan sidled up to her and quietly asked.
