Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Thinking about what Cheng Nanyi had just said, Shan Lai suddenly realized what she meant and her face turned red involuntarily.

"Are you still hungry? Do you want to eat something more?" Cheng Nan asked her gently and handed her the bowl.

Lei took the bowl and raised an eyebrow at the person on the bed.

"No need, Aunt Cheng. I'm already full." Shan Lai said quickly, fearing that Lei would give her another bowl as she was already very full.

Chengnan nodded.

Shanlai breathed a sigh of relief, everything was fine.

Then, Cheng Nanyi said a lot to her and asked her to get enough rest.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chengnan cleared her throat and said, "Then Auntie will leave first and come to see you later." Turning to look at Hua Zeheng, he immediately understood what she meant.

"Yes, Shanlai, you should have a good rest." Hua Zeheng walked to her bedside and put his hand on Cheng Nanyi's shoulder.

"Then we'll go first." Hua Zeheng smiled, then looked at his son, "Since Lei is here, let him take care of you. If he does anything wrong, tell me."

Hanazawa Rui was leaning on the sofa with one hand in his pocket, smiling for no apparent reason.

Shanlai didn't know how to respond and just kept smiling.

Chengnan stood up and Hua Zeheng walked with her.

Walking to Lei's side, Cheng Nanyi looked at her son meaningfully and said, "Remember what your mother told you. You can take care of me, but you can't overstep the boundaries." Regardless of Hua Ze Lei's expression, Cheng Nanyi had already walked out of the ward.

Looking at the backs of his parents leaving, Lei reached out and touched his head. It must have been his mother who suggested coming to see Shanlai.

As for the father, he was just pulled over by the mother to see his future daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Lei smiled even more happily.

Lei's parents finally passed away. Shanlai leaned weakly against the head of the bed. She never thought that Aunt Cheng would come to see her.

No matter what you think, something is wrong.

Until she saw Lei's faint smile, and seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Lei, tell me, why did Aunt Cheng come here suddenly?" Shan Lai looked up and asked Lei in confusion.

Lei walked slowly to her side and said, "Maybe mom knew it from someone else."

He is still playing dumb.

"Oh? Really?" Shan Lai raised his tone, obviously not believing his words.

Lei didn't say anything else and poured her a glass of water. "You fainted at the charity dinner hosted by Deng He's family last night. It's such a big thing, I guess everyone in this circle knows about it, not just my mother." He said seriously and handed her the water.

Shan Lai sighed. Yes, Second Uncle announced her identity at the banquet last night. Everyone knew what they should and shouldn’t know.

I took the phone next to me and looked at the date. It wasn't long before my father came back.

She took a sip of water, then put the cup down. Just as she was about to say something, Deng and Ruilin walked in.

"Shanlai, are you okay?" He was holding some fruit in his hand.

Seeing the basket on the table, he frowned at first, then calmly put the fruit down and walked to Shanlai's bed.

She shook her head, she was fine.

"I'm really sorry about what happened last night. The new pastry chef in our house made the wrong pastries, which caused you to suffer so much." Deng Heruilin apologized sincerely, still acting like a humble gentleman.

Listening to his words, Shanlai smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, I'm fine now." Of course, she didn't believe this rhetoric, but you are fooling me and I am just perfunctory to you.

If it was really as he said, he should have come earlier instead of rushing over at this time to explain that it was the pastry chef's problem.

It’s not the pastry chef’s fault, it’s the person who cared about it.

Although she grew up in Country M, where there are not as many clan relations as in Country K, she still knows a lot.

Maybe it wasn’t Deng and Ruilin who did it, maybe it was, but it no longer seems so important.

She is fine now, and there is no evidence, so her words are not enough.

"Last night's banquet was not affected by my incident, right?" Shan Lai changed the subject.

Everyone watched the changes on her face, from the disdain she showed when Deng and Ruilin first came in, to now, as if nothing had happened.

His heart tightened.

He suddenly remembered that she was the lively and lovely Shanlai, and also the eldest daughter of the Denghe family, Denghe Shanlai.

People in their position may not necessarily be clean, and may even be more cruel and ruthless.

Families like Deng and others are even more ruthless.

In order to take over her father Deng Heyin's position, she has to go through some extremely disgusting things but she has to pretend to be stupid.

He feels sorry for her.

Deng and Ruilin were very surprised by her words, but after thinking about it, they felt it was normal, "That's not the case."

"Father was very worried about what happened to you last night," Deng Heruilin added.

Thinking of his second uncle, Shanlai still had a good impression of him.

After all, it was he who helped her resolve the rumor, and she had not yet seriously thanked her second uncle.

Second uncle is a steady man and would not do anything that would put his life in danger.

"I ate too quickly last night. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty, cousin." Shan Lai smiled at Deng Heruilin and comforted him.

She was giving both of them a way out, and the matter was over.

Turning the page is one thing, and whether she finds out the truth or not is another. It has no impact.

Deng and Ruilin knew what she meant, and their expressions relaxed. They no longer looked like they were performing official duties as they did when they first came in.

"Your coming-of-age ceremony will be held in a while, and people from all the major families will be present. Uncle Yin will probably arrange a marriage for you with someone of equal social status." Deng Heruilin looked at Hua Ze Lei beside him and spoke these words slowly, word by word.

When he arrived, he found that Huaze Lei was the only one here, which means that Huaze Lei was the only one taking care of her here last night.

What does this mean? Isn't it clear enough?

Sure enough, Hanazawa Rui next to him had his eyes darkened, and the expression on his face was not as natural as when he first arrived.

Deng and Ruilin were very happy.

I heard that he had a good relationship with Jing. Considering Jing's attitude last night and what Huaze Rui did, he said this.

Shan Lai looked at Deng He Ruilin who were talking. She didn't understand why he suddenly said such a thing, and glanced at Lei next to her in panic.

He didn't seem to have any particular reaction.

"Cousin, don't you have a girlfriend yet? I heard that Second Aunt has found several daughters of wealthy families for you. Have you met them?" Shan Lai looked at Deng and Ruilin beside him with an innocent face.

She didn't know whether Song Chi had helped him find a rich girl, she just wanted to annoy him.
