"I broke your jade." Shang Wan openly admitted this time, "Back then, I did it on purpose."
The others looked at Shang Wan in surprise, this was truly...
Shang Luo was also in disbelief, Shang Wan she...
"At that time I was foolish. From now on, I will no longer cause you any trouble. If you want me to leave the Shang Family, that's fine too."
"Everything here originally belonged to you. It was my narrow-mindedness that made me even want to compete with you for our brothers' affection."
"Now I understand. What is false will always be false, no matter what. Thank you for saving me."
"At that moment I thought I was going to die. Now I've thought it through clearly. Life is long, and I will return everything to you. I can do well on my own, because I'm still alive!"
She bowed to the crowd, "I'm sorry!"
Old Master's expression turned somewhat grim. He really didn't know that Shang Wan had done such a thing.
Shang Luo was also disappointed, but he recalled that over the years, his younger sister had always been good to him.
Whenever he made a mistake, it was his younger sister who spoke up for him.
He and she shared a bond of kinship.
But it turned out that in Shang Wan's eyes, the brothers were merely tools for her to take advantage of in order to stay in the Shang Family.
No wonder she had always spoken ill of Shang Yu. None of them had ever doubted her.
Now, he was starting to doubt life itself.
In fact, not only were his elder and second elder brothers foolish, but he was too...
"Oh." Shang Yu looked at her, "I see."
"It's alright, it's alright." Zhong Ruoxue stood up, "As long as you realize your mistake, that's enough. I've said it before, even if Shang Yu comes back, you're still our daughter. From the day we took you in, we became your parents."
"You're not inherently bad, you were just spoiled growing up and became a bit foolish. Of course, if you act foolish once, it's a mistake. Twice, it becomes a crime. If you truly know you were wrong, we can give you another chance."
"But I don't want there to be a second time. Otherwise, even if Shang Yu doesn't pursue it, I won't let you off."
Shang Wan nodded tearfully, "I won't do it again."
Zhong Ruoxue walked over and wiped her tears, "Don't cry anymore. Look at those rabbit-like eyes of yours, they don't look pretty anymore."
Shang Muhuai looked at Shang Yu, "Shang Wan's fate is for you to decide."
The others also turned to look at Shang Yu, agreeing with this.
Shang Quan kept his head lowered. They had also hurt Shang Yu before.
They were indeed in the wrong.
They couldn't even admit their mistakes like Shang Wan did.
Shang Yu raised her teacup, "She is also your daughter, is she not?"
It had nothing to do with her, while Shang Wan had indeed been with them for eighteen years. Even though they had known early on that Shang Wan was not their biological daughter, they still had feelings for her, just like raising a dog.
Out of consideration for Shang Yu, they could only be harsh towards Shang Wan.
But Shang Yu didn't care at all.
Shang Wan raised her head in shock to look at Shang Yu. She... was allowing her to stay?!
Shang Quan, Shang Hui, and Shang Luo were also in disbelief. Shang Yu had such magnanimity?
She really was... different.
Shang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, "As long as she doesn't bother me in the future, her existence or lack thereof has little to do with me."
"Alright, alright." Zhong Ruoxue wiped Shang Wan's tears dry, "You child, your sister is willing to let you stay, which proves she still wants to be sisters with you. She just isn't very good at expressing herself."
"That's not really it." Shang Yu quickly interrupted her nonsensical interpretation.
"Hahaha." Old Master laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Shang Yu. What breadth of mind!
"I will try my best to repair that jade." Shang Wan said with hopeful eyes, "I will do my utmost..."
"No need." Shang Yu cut her off, "I've already repaired my jade."
"You just don't bother me."
However, Shang Wan didn't let this matter go, only keeping her head lowered.
"Go and rest," said Shang Muhuai helplessly. He had wanted to send Shang Wan away.
The Shang Family could give her a lot of money, allowing her to live without worry in her next life.
But thinking that their daughter might need a sister, Zhong Ruoxue didn't mention sending Shang Wan away, so they would let her stay.
He only hoped she would come to her senses a bit and not do anything unpleasant again.
Shang Yu nodded, and was about to leave when Old Master called out to her, "Take your reward money."
It was only then that Shang Yu remembered. She had almost forgotten to take the money!
She took a few envelopes, revealing a smile. This job was quite lucrative.
She had earned a tidy sum...
Old Master sighed wearily as he stood up, "Alright, if you all have nothing else, go and rest as well. Be ready to face tomorrow."
"Yes."
The group dispersed.
