Chapter 574: Chapter 574

Shen Kang’s smile was so fake that it almost seemed like he couldn’t be bothered to pretend, barely concealing the contempt in his eyes.

“Cousin, why are you wasting time here? The uncles and grandfather are all waiting for you to join them.”

Although Shen Kang was standing right in front of them, he deliberately turned his face towards Shen Xun, then glanced sideways at Su Lu with disdain, “You really don’t understand the rules. After all, it’s grandfather’s birthday banquet, and you should have gone to wish him well as soon as you arrived.”

Bo Jingshen felt his fists clench right then.

He looked at Shen Xun, barely containing his impatience, suddenly feeling that perhaps he shouldn’t have agreed to give Shen Xun face a moment ago—after all, just one encounter with the Shen Family was already enough to make him so angry he wanted to do something rash.

Who knew how many more unbearable situations would come later?

Shen Xun noticed his look and lowered his gaze, curving his lips into a smile.

Su Lu, on the other hand, seemed very calm, as if she was used to it.

Indeed, she was used to it. Actually, a few years earlier, when Su Lu had first been brought back to Beijing, Shen Xun had been very angry because of the Shen Family’s attitude, feeling indignant on Su Lu’s behalf, feeling sorry for her.

He felt too heartbroken for his sister.

He had thought that Su Lu would be very upset, and at the time he even felt that she might take her anger out on him, her disappointingly ineffectual brother.

But surprisingly, even Shen Xun was angered by the Shen Family’s attitude towards her.

Yet Su Lu wasn’t upset at all.

“I rarely waste my emotions on the goodness or evil of strangers,” Su Lu had said at the time. “If I were to get upset over any random person’s judgment and verbal attacks, wouldn’t life be too hard?”
