After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Which One is My Sister-in-law?

TL: YYang

His cousin, Shen Wei, was the deputy captain of public security at the Guansha Police Station, and it was about a half-hour drive to Guansha.

Shen Yuan had called him in advance and told him not to eat yet. After arriving, he first parked the car in a space on the side of the road, then he and Shen Xuan walked into the police station carrying a meal of three dishes, one soup, and two containers of rice.

Shen Wei was already waiting at the entrance. Seeing his cousins approaching, he walked up and greeted them with a smile.

“Brother, sister, this is too much. It’s Second Uncle’s birthday today, and you still made a special trip to bring me food.”

Shen Wei was tall and sturdy, and his police uniform gave him a heroic air. Shen Yuan saw him and joked, “It’s what we should do. The young should honor the old.”

“You little brat, making fun of my age again, are you!”

Shen Wei pretended to be unhappy and put on a stern face.

“Hi, Brother Wei.” Shen Xuan greeted him with a smile.

“Sister Xuan, how did the college entrance exams go? I heard your scores are good enough for Nanzhong University, no problem.”

“The scores aren’t out yet, so I can’t guarantee I’ll get in.”

“With your skills, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Shen Wei took the bag from Shen Yuan and peeked inside. “This is quite a lot. I’m in for a treat.”

“I know you have a big appetite, so I even added an extra container of white rice.”

“Alright, you’re a thoughtful kid.”

Shen Wei smiled with satisfaction, then said, “Come on in and sit for a while.”

Shen Yuan waved his hand. “No, thanks. This place is for bad guys to sit in. We’re upstanding citizens.”

Shen Wei chuckled. “Alright then, I won’t keep you. I’ll treat you to a late-night snack next time.”

“Deal. We’ll get going then.”

“We’re leaving, Brother Wei.”

“Okay, bye-bye.”

After saying goodbye to Shen Wei, Shen Yuan got into the car and said to Shen Xuan, “I’ll take you home first, then I have some things to take care of.”

“What things?” Shen Xuan asked curiously.

“Why are you asking so many questions? This is adult business; kids shouldn’t be nosy.”

Over the past two days, Chen Na had finished moving with the help of a private team and was officially moving in today. Shen Yuan planned to go see her, treating it as a housewarming.

Shen Xuan rolled her eyes. “Hmph, acting like a grown-up. You’re only three years older than me.”

“Brother, I’m so bored at home. Can you take me with you to have some fun?”

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but glance at her. “Fun? I’m taking care of serious business.”

“There’s not a single true word that comes out of your mouth. I don’t believe you. If it were really serious business, you would have already told me what it was.”

Shen Yuan laughed. As expected, no one knew him better than his sister.

But this girl was still the same as when they were kids, always wanting to stick to him.

While driving, Shen Yuan thought about it carefully. Chen Na was already pregnant, and he couldn’t keep it from his family forever. Old Shen and Li Hongjuan were also looking forward to being grandparents.

He might as well use his sister as a tool to help test the waters with Old Shen and Li Hongjuan.

If he told Ms. Li directly, she probably wouldn’t be able to accept it.

In Ms. Li’s mind, he didn’t have a girlfriend, wasn’t married, and wasn’t even of legal age to marry, yet he had gotten a girl pregnant. What would she think when she found out?

Ms. Li had a fiery temper. Even though he was rich now, he was still her son.

Even if he had another hundred million in his account, if something like this happened, she would probably still give him a beating.

Besides, he probably wouldn’t have just one child in the future. If he had a child with the class beauty or Coach Liu, he would need a wingman to act as a buffer in between.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan decided to just lay his cards on the table. “Sister Xuan, actually, I’m going to see your sister-in-law.”

“I knew it!” Shen Xuan lifted her chin and said confidently, “And you said you were going to take care of serious business. Is seeing your sister-in-law serious business?”

“What’s not serious about seeing your sister-in-law?”

“It’s just not serious!”

“…”

“Then give Mom a call and tell her you’ll be out playing this afternoon and will be back for dinner.”

“Okay!”

Shen Xuan immediately agreed. These past three years of high school had been hard enough for her, spending every day either reviewing or doing practice problems. Now that summer vacation had finally arrived, she had to have some fun.

It was already 1:30 PM when they arrived at Songhu Tiandi. Following the underground garage section Chen Na had sent him, Shen Yuan parked the car in a designated spot.

When he helped Chen Na buy the apartment, he had also bought two parking spaces, one for her and one for him. Chen Na’s white MC20 was very conspicuous in the garage, so Shen Yuan found the spot quickly.

“Brother, this car is so cool!”

As soon as Shen Xuan got out of the car, her eyes were drawn to the sports car next to them, her expression filled with envy. “How much does this car cost?”

Shen Yuan thought for a moment. “2.73 million, all in.”

“That expensive?”

Shen Xuan’s eyes widened in surprise. After a moment, she felt something was off. “Brother, how do you know how much they paid for it?”

“This car belongs to your sister-in-law.”

“Holy shit!”

Shen Xuan’s mouth hung open. “Did you buy it for my sister-in-law, or did she buy it herself?”

“I helped her buy it.”

“My tycoon brother, you’re awesome!”

Shen Xuan linked her arm with Shen Yuan’s and pointed at the MC20. “In the future, your little sister’s ride can’t be below this standard.”

“We’ll see how you perform.”

“What do you mean, perform? I’m your biological sister!” Shen Xuan said with dissatisfaction.

Shen Yuan smiled, thinking to himself, ‘From now on, you’ll be the buffer between me and Ms. Li. Of course you have to perform.’

“…”

As they talked, the two took the elevator to the 16th floor. After they rang the doorbell, someone quickly opened the door.

But when he saw the person who opened the door, Shen Yuan was a little surprised, because it wasn’t Chen Na, but Liu Menglu.

The two were very easy to tell apart. He didn’t even need to look at their faces; just by looking at the part below their necks, Shen Yuan could tell who it was.

“Shen Yuan, you’re here. Come in, quick.”

Liu Menglu knew Shen Yuan was coming, but at that moment, she noticed another girl behind him. She was a bit surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “And this is?”

“This is my younger sister, Shen Xuan,” Shen Yuan introduced.

“Oh, it’s your sister. Come in, quick.”

Liu Menglu immediately put on a warm expression, pulling Shen Xuan into the house and getting her a pair of slippers.

At this time, hearing the word “sister,” Chen Na quickly walked over from the living room.

“Sister? You two do look alike.”

Chen Na showed a friendly smile, then took Shen Xuan’s hand and sat her down on the living room sofa. “Sister, just make yourself at home. Don’t be polite.”

Hou Qianqian was in the kitchen washing fruit. After draining it, she walked to the living room, placed the fruit basket in front of Shen Xuan, and said with a smile, “Sister, have some fruit.”

Shen Xuan was completely bewildered right now, her mind struggling to process the situation. There were three women in the room. Except for the one who had just brought the fruit, who was slightly less stunning, the other two were top-tier beauties.

The key was that all three of them were especially warm towards her, their tones even carrying a hint of trying to please her.

?

A huge question mark appeared in Shen Xuan’s mind. She couldn’t help but look at her own brother. ‘Which one is my sister-in-law?’

Liu Menglu took the initiative to explain, “Qianqian and I knew Nana was moving in today for the first time, so we came over specially to help her warm up the house.”

Shen Yuan nodded. This was about what he had expected.

After speaking, Liu Menglu sat down next to Shen Xuan, flanking her with Chen Na on the other side.

“Sister, let me introduce myself. I’m Liu Menglu. You can just call me Sister Menglu.”

Then she pointed to Chen Na next to her and said, “This is the owner of the house, Chen Na. You can call her Sister Nana.”

Shen Xuan blinked and looked at Chen Na. “So you’re my sister-in-law, right?”

Shen Xuan thought that since this Sister Menglu said Sister Nana was the owner of the house, and combining that with her brother saying they were going to see his sister-in-law’s new house, then Sister Nana must be her sister-in-law.

“Uh…”

Chen Na didn’t know how to answer that. Besides, Menglu was also present. It depended on what Shen Yuan had told his sister. So, she cast an inquisitive glance at Shen Yuan.

Liu Menglu also lifted her delicate face to look at Shen Yuan, wanting to see how he would explain.

Hou Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. She had just come over to warm the house, but she didn’t expect to witness such a cringeworthy scene.

How to explain?

If he said Nana was his sister-in-law, Menglu would definitely get jealous.

If he said both were his sisters-in-law, what would his sister think? Could she accept her brother doing this?

Hou Qianqian hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to mess up here and was quite enjoying the show.

Shen Yuan had no intention of hiding it. “Actually, both of them are your sisters-in-law.”

“Both of them are my sisters-in-law?”

Shen Xuan’s eyes widened like saucers, filled with disbelief.

She looked at Chen Na, then at Liu Menglu. Both were very beautiful and had great figures.

‘These two great beauties are both my sisters-in-law?!’

Then she turned her gaze to Shen Yuan. ‘Is this my biological brother?’

‘He’s playing such a dirty game?’

‘He’s two-timing them directly?’

And even more crucially, the two sisters-in-law were sitting right next to her, one on each side. How could they coexist so harmoniously in the same room?

Shen Xuan’s mind was spinning. For the first time, she felt her worldview collapsing.

“Brother, is this for real?”

Shen Xuan wanted to confirm it again.

“Yes.”

Shen Yuan didn’t deny it. He had a good grasp of his sister’s tolerance level.

If she couldn’t accept just two, it would be even harder for her to accept as his harem expanded in the future.

‘My dear Sister Xuan, this is just the beginning.’

Of course, not every NPC needed to be introduced to his sister. Chen Na was already pregnant, so it was necessary.

As for Liu Menglu, he just hadn’t expected her to be with Chen Na today.

Shen Yuan was also acting with the attitude of treating them equally; he couldn’t let this Coach Liu, with whom he had ‘fitness lessons’ every day, feel heartbroken.

Shen Xuan swallowed. Then, she spent 10 seconds rebuilding her worldview. Having two sisters-in-law meant she could receive double the affection. What was wrong with that?

As for her brother, Shen Yuan?

She could only come to a two-word conclusion: Dead scumbag!

But that didn’t stop her from getting along with her sisters-in-law. Her brother was her brother, and her sisters-in-law were her sisters-in-law. The two couldn’t be lumped together.

Shen Xuan took the hands of her two sisters-in-law, one on each side, pursed her lips, and said, “Hello, sisters-in-law. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Xuan.”

Shen Yuan’s eyelids twitched. She was indeed his biological sister. She had already switched to “sisters-in-law” (plural) so quickly. He hoped she could keep it up.

Shen Xuan had an outgoing personality and said gracefully, “My brother sometimes calls me Sister Xuan, sometimes Xuanxuan, and sometimes Shen Xuan. Anyway, you can call me whatever you like.”

“Then we’ll call you Xuanxuan,” Liu Menglu said with a crescent-moon smile.

Chen Na also linked arms with Shen Xuan as if she were her own sister. “Xuanxuan, you just finished your college entrance exams, right? My sister just finished hers too. She’s coming to Star City tomorrow. You two should be able to get along well.”

“Great! I was just worried I wouldn’t have any friends!”

“But my sister, Xinyu, is a bit more introverted.”

“No problem, after playing with me for a few days, she’ll liven up!” Shen Xuan said with great confidence.

“Xuanxuan, your brother said your grades are pretty good?” Liu Menglu, the elder sister-in-law, asked again.

“They’re okay.”

“Did you estimate your score for the college entrance exam?”

“…”

Hou Qianqian watched the three of them chatting harmoniously, her scalp tingling.

She hadn’t expected them to hit it off so quickly.

As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together.

And she, the outsider, felt somewhat redundant.

It was clearly a family gathering. What was she doing here?
