Chapter 7 The Eldest Brother's Boasting
1217 Words
After leaving Bai Kexin's room, Shen Zefan immediately started showing off! He opened his phone and proudly typed a message in the [Happy Family] group chat:
Shen Family Eldest Son: Just went to little sister's room. She promised to give me a phone just like hers! Don't know what to do with such a good sister. Decided to give her 50 million more in allowance next month (helpless emoji)
Shen Dad: What? Why were you in my daughter's room?
Shen Family Heartthrob Second Son: Big bro, don't get cocky. You think sister will only give you gifts? We'll get ours too!
Shen Family Eldest Son replied to Shen Dad: Of course to care for our sister.
Shen Family Eldest Son replied to Shen Family Heartthrob Second Son: It's completely different! This is the first phone sister is giving me, the first promised gift. Do you know what this means?
Shen Family Third Son: Big bro, you're not being fair! Going to see sister without calling us? Too much!
Shen Family Fourth Son: Big bro, you...you...you're too much!! I want gifts from sister too.
Shen Family Fifth Son: Big bro, I'm going to see sister right now. I prepared a welcome gift for her. Hmph, unlike you who asks sister for gifts!
Shen Family Eldest Son: .......
Shen Family Fifth Son: And you call yourself the eldest brother? Have some shame! Besides giving sister allowance, what else have you prepared for her? Do you even have face?!
Shen Family Eldest Son: ......
Shen Dad: Little Five, you're dad's good son! Well said!
Shen Family Heartthrob Second Son: Little Five, I never knew you had this tough side. Impressive!
Shen Family Third Son: Little Five, you're awesome!
Shen Family Fourth Son: Little Five, if you've got more to say, say it!
Shen Family Fifth Son: Big bro, look at yourself! Is this how humans behave? And you're showing off!
'Shen Family Fifth Son' has been removed from the group chat by 'Shen Family Eldest Son'.
"Big bro, you can't take a joke!!" Shen Xiaojie's angry shout echoed through the second floor! But Bai Kexin was on the third floor and couldn't hear it at all.
Shen Zefan paid no attention, lying down contentedly. They were just jealous. Who said he hadn't prepared gifts for his sister? They just hadn't arrived yet. Custom-made items naturally took time. These people were just envious and trying to provoke him.
Meanwhile, Aunt Liang finally finished her shift and immediately called the Xiao family matriarch. Sigh, why did the old madam have to go abroad at this time? Poor Miss Qingqing must be suffering!
Two days later
With Shen Zefan's help, the results Bai Kexin wanted were now placed on the table. Holding the test reports, she walked downstairs to find the entire family gathered in the living room.
She was actually surprised - Shen Zhehan was a big celebrity who should have been extremely busy, yet he had stayed home for several days.
Everyone looked at her, then at the reports in her hands, all wearing expressions of complete confidence. They firmly believed the results would confirm their relation.
"Aren't you curious?" Bai Kexin couldn't help asking.
"Curious about what?" Xiao Qing'er pretended not to understand.
"If I'm not your daughter, then you've found the wrong person. All your hopes would be dashed." As she said this, Bai Kexin felt a tightness in her chest...
After these two days together, Bai Kexin genuinely felt this was a wonderful family. If possible, she too was hoping they could truly become her family...
So now, perhaps she was the only one feeling nervous. If the results were fake, she would have to leave this warm home. To be honest, this was some of the only warmth she'd ever experienced, and she wanted it to continue. But if she wasn't the Shen family's daughter, she couldn't stop the real daughter from returning...
"Little sister, you should trust Dad and big brother's capabilities. How could something they've repeatedly verified be wrong? We're just waiting for you to feel at ease. Once you see the results, you'll believe we're family. I'm still waiting to hear you call me 'third brother'," Shen Xiaoming comforted Bai Kexin patiently. How could this girl before them not be their sister? The magical feeling of blood relations couldn't be erased - he already adored this sister.
Bai Kexin nodded obediently. It seemed whether she was or wasn't their daughter didn't matter anymore. Even if the worst happened and she had to leave the Shen family, she would still be good to them.
Bai Kexin opened the test reports. The first was between her and Xiao Qing'er, the second between her and eldest brother Shen Zefan. Both showed close familial relationships.
She really was the Shen family's child!!
Shen Yanting and Xiao Qing'er saw the results and simply smiled knowingly. They'd seen such outcomes before - why would they doubt them?
Bai Kexin's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Kexin, do you believe now?" Xiao Qing'er stepped forward, taking her hand. The warm touch seemed to transmit something into Bai Kexin - something warm and sweet...
Looking at this face so similar to her own, Bai Kexin felt dazed. She nodded blankly: "Mm."
Seeing her daughter finally nod, Xiao Qing'er couldn't contain her excitement!
"Dad. Mom." Bai Kexin suddenly called out.
Since it had been confirmed, she might as well say it now...
Xiao Qing'er's excited hands froze mid-air. Her eyes widened as she looked at Bai Kexin, full of disbelief! Even Shen Yanting was momentarily stunned!
"Kexin, my good daughter, you...what did you just call me? Say it again, please?" Xiao Qing'er's hands trembled slightly, afraid what she'd heard was fake, just an illusion. Tears slid down her cheeks.
"Mom..." Bai Kexin called again. Where there was a first time, there would be a second - and clearly, the second time came much more naturally!
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Qing'er was too moved to speak properly.
"Good child, I'm your dad. Say it again." Though Shen Yanting appeared calmer on the surface without as much visible emotion as Xiao Qing'er, his slightly trembling hands betrayed him!
"Dad......"
"Good child, good child, welcome home!" Shen Yanting couldn't resist patting Bai Kexin's head too, overflowing with happiness.
The five brothers watched Bai Kexin eagerly...clearly waiting for her to address them properly too.
Bai Kexin: "......" Couldn't this be taken step by step?!
"You lot, has the company collapsed or are you just jobless? Why are you all crowding here?!" Shen Yanting glared at his sons competing for attention, irritation rising. These brats - he only needed to see them lift their tails to know what they were up to! Wanting to hear his precious daughter call them "brother"? Not so easy!
"Dad, you're the company chairman! Aren't you home every day too!" Shen Xiaojie couldn't help retorting. The mighty chairman staying home to compete with his sons for affection - how embarrassing if word got out!!
Shen Yanting: "You've got a death wish, boy! I'm home to spend time with my daughter - need your permission? It's my d*mn company, I'll come and go as I please!"
"Whether she's really a Shen daughter remains to be seen!" A steady yet aged voice suddenly came from the doorway...
