“Wanwan, what are you standing there for? You should address your older sister,” Shen Chunjiang suddenly spoke.
Shen Wan responded promptly, “Older sister.”
“Hmm,” came the faint reply.
Compared to Shen Yan, who always seemed to challenge and compete without restraint, Shen Ru appeared more astute—regardless of her inner thoughts, she at least maintained surface politeness and composure, embodying the upbringing and dignity of the eldest daughter.
“In the future, you three sisters should get along well.”
Shen Wan nodded, her smile innocent.
Shen Yan, looking annoyed and about to say something, was silenced by a glance from Shen Ru.
“Dad, rest assured, 1 understand my boundaries.”

The old master emerged from his study.
Shen Ru respectfully addressed him, “Grandfather.”
“When did you arrive?”
“At two o’clock this afternoon.”
“Is the matter with M country settled?”
Shen Ru knew what the old master wanted to ask, “The board of directors of C-One Group has agreed to increase the investment, and the money will arrive in a week.”
Shen Zongming nodded in satisfaction. “You’ve worked hard on this trip.”
Shen Ru modestly smiled, “It’s all thanks to the concerted efforts of the subsidiary team. I dare not take credit.”
“Stay humble, that’s good…”
The old and the young walked side by side, heading straight for the dining room.
In the third generation of the Shen family, only Shen Qian and Shen Ru had entered the company with legitimate positions. Even Shen Chunjiang had high hopes for his two children. That’s why Shen Ru didn’t find it strange to receive such treatment upon returning home.
In this family, strength was the only thing that mattered, and the so-called “favor” was nothing but a fleeting illusion.
This was also why, after leaving a good first impression on the old master and Shen Chunjiang, Shen Wan didn’t try to seek more favor.
She had learned this lesson in her previous life, taking two whole years to figure it out.
For example, learning embroidery was an act tailored to please Shen Zongming. But what about the future?
As time passed, she would only be forgotten.
So what could truly last?
Benefits.
She had to show Shen Zongming what she could bring to the family, like Shen Qian’s Tian Shui Real Estate or the trust funds in Shen Ru’s hands.
“Shen Wan, don’t think that just by calling us ‘sisters’, you’ve truly become a part of this family. Look at yourself; do you have the qualifications to compete with us sisters?” Shen Yan huffed, walking past her and adding, “Sister, wait for me…”
Shen Wan didn’t miss the deep admiration in Shen Yan’s eyes when she looked at Shen Ru. She smiled gently.

Yang Lan nodded. “The steamed sponge cake is still on the stove. Give it a quick check, and it’ll be ready in just three minutes.”
“Yes.”
The family gathered around the table, and it was evident that the dishes were more abundant than usual.
During the meal, both Shen Chunjiang and Yang Lan served Shen Ru, asking about her well-being and displaying the affectionate care of doting parents.
Shen Ru smiled and accepted everything, then used the public chopsticks to serve a dish to Shen Zongming.
All these actions seemed remarkably natural as if they had been done a thousand times before.
And the old master was quite appreciative, eating an extra bowl of rice compared to usual.
Yet, Shen Ru remained poised and composed, neither proud nor arrogant, just calmly herself.
Shen Wan quietly ate her meal, appearing gentle in both expression and movement.
The others assumed she was just naturally reserved, little did they know that her self-discipline was no less than Shen Ru’s.
One could only say that even when they had a valuable opportunity right before them, they often failed to recognize its worth, clinging to their preconceived notions, even if that opportunity was gleaming brightly.
“Where’s older brother?” Shen Ru, almost finished with her meal, put down her chopsticks and asked..
