The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

```

Why is this happening?

Su Yang couldn't help but ask Wenyan, "You just mentioned something about Yanyan, I didn't catch it."

As soon as Su Yang spoke, the other three people at the dining table all stopped eating.

Wenyan blinked, somewhat confused.

"I didn't say anything afterwards, Mom, you must have heard wrong," she said.

Wenyan was also puzzled, saying her mother heard wrong didn't seem right. Because just now, nobody at the table had spoken at all.

Shen Yuan looked at Su Yang with some concern: "Did you not get enough rest? Maybe you shouldn't go to the studio today."

Wenyan nodded silently to herself.

Inside, she thought, "Ms. Su must have had too much to drink last night, that's understandable since it was her birthday. If it were me, I would be happy too."

Su Yang's eyes widened again.

But obviously, no one else present, aside from her, had heard Wenyan's words.

It seemed that even Wenyan herself didn't know what had happened.

What was this, then, her inner voice?

Why did her inner voice keep calling her 'Ms. Su'? And what did she mean by saying she wouldn't go to the company anymore?

Su Yang ate her breakfast absentmindedly.

Wenyan did as well.

Not until Shen Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks did Wenyan finally take a deep breath.

"Dad, Mom, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Shen Yuan put down the wet towel he was using to wipe his hands, directing his gaze towards Wenyan.

Wenyan smiled sheepishly and said in a serious tone, "Dad, Mom, I was being childish before, always trying to compete with Zhirou. So when I heard that she was going to work at the company, I also made a fuss about going. But actually, my major doesn't match at all, she studied management, I studied design, I'm not suitable. So, after calming down, I've decided not to go to the company anymore, and I hope you can forgive my capricious actions!"

Wenyan's words were sincere, and after hearing her speech, Shen Yuan and Su Yang had newfound respect for her.

Even Shen Jingxiu, who usually didn't interact with her much, gave her a special glance.

Over the past few years, she had always been fighting with Shen Zhirou, both overtly and covertly. Since she hadn't caused any significant trouble or made any serious mistakes, Shen Yuan and Su Yang, as a couple, had always turned a blind eye.

However, they had discussed privately that if one day Wenyan did something excessive to Zhirou, they wouldn't show favoritism towards Wenyan.

They never expected that she would suddenly be so forthcoming today, as if she had become a different person.

But it was for the best that she had come to this realization. If she kept the mentality of competing with Zhirou in the company, she wouldn't be able to contribute much to the company.

So, Shen Yuan nodded in agreement swiftly: "Alright, then you don't need to go to the company. Do what you enjoy. As long as it's nothing too outrageous, your mother and I have no objections."

"Yes! Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom!"

"Hahaha, it seems Mr. Shen is not as cold as he appears. He's actually a good father, not only to his biological children but also to me, his adopted daughter."

Shen Yuan's eyes widened slightly: "......"

Did he hear something? Was that Wenyan speaking just now? No, she didn't say anything. But he definitely heard Wenyan's voice.

He instinctively looked towards Su Yang because Wenyan certainly hadn't said anything, yet Su Yang had oddly asked what she said.

But this time, Su Yang had no strange expression on her face. Obviously, Su Yang hadn't heard anything just now.

At that moment, the butler came to announce that the driver was ready.

Shen Yuan then stood up and left the dining table, no longer dwelling on the voice he had just heard.

Su Yang immediately escorted both father and son to the villa's entrance along with Wenyan.

While Su Yang was saying goodbye to Shen Yuan, Shen Jingxiu was next to them, fastening his cufflinks.

His fingers were slender, and as he lowered his head slightly and cast down his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his eyelids like little brushes.

This stunning profile, a beauty strike of ten thousand points.

"The Eldest Young Master is just too handsome. He's rich and has good looks; being this attractive, isn't he making life tough for other men?"

Shen Jingxiu's hands froze as he was fastening his cufflinks: ?? Again, that voice came again.

```

He narrowed his eyes as he looked towards Wenyan, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Wenyan instinctively swallowed.

"What's wrong, Big Brother?"

Hearing the noise from their side, Su Yang couldn't help but glance over.

She caught a glimpse of Shen Jingxiu but spoke to Wenyan.

"Yanyan, your big brother's tie is a bit crooked, could you straighten it for him?"

Wenyan's heart missed a beat for half a second.

Since her adoption, she had never been this close to Shen Jingxiu.

As far as she could remember, the Shen Family's brothers had gone abroad for their studies early on, while the two daughters stayed behind for school in the country.

After completing his studies, Shen Jingxiu had joined the Shen Group directly, becoming a commanding CEO at a young age, making him hard to approach.

But now, with Su Yang speaking up, and her being so close to Shen Jingxiu, it would seem a bit unreasonable to refuse such a simple task, wouldn't it?

At the very least, she could treat this as an opportunity to practice her acting! If she had to act opposite a cold and aloof male god in the future, would she refuse just because he was difficult to approach?

After mentally preparing herself, Wenyan immediately walked over to Shen Jingxiu.

She reached out for Shen Jingxiu's tie, and Shen Jingxiu did not seem to mind.

That made her breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, her thoughts became more active.

[Hmm, his Adam's apple is quite sexy, and he looks irresistibly handsome with the tie.]

Shen Jingxiu: ???

Were these her inner thoughts again? What was she thinking? Were such thoughts appropriate for her?

Suddenly, Shen Jingxiu grasped his tie: "Let go, I'll do it myself."

"Oh."

Her hand lightly touched, and Wenyan immediately withdrew it as if electrocuted.

[The Eldest Young Master is really difficult to get along with, thankfully I don't have to interact with him often.]

Shen Jingxiu: ...???

One moment she's calling him an ice block, the next she's praising his looks, and then she's relieved not to have to deal with him—do women always change their minds so quickly?

After watching the father and son drive off, Su Yang turned around and took Wenyan's hand.

"Yanyan, come, keep mom company for a walk in the garden."

"Okay."

While speaking, Wenyan paused.

Some things can't be said out loud, they can only be thought in one's mind.

[If my memory serves me right, it's been a very long time since Mrs. Su has held this hand, it feels rather unfamiliar.]

Su Yang paused as well.

She had heard Wenyan's inner voice again.

Indeed, since Zhirou's return, she had grown much more distant from Yanyan. That must be why Yanyan had been competing with Zhirou for attention, seeking to get noticed by their parents, right?

Now that Yanyan had come to terms with herself, no longer planning to compete at the company with Zhirou, she felt she should be fairer to both children. In Yanyan's mind, she didn't even call her mother anymore, but referred to her as Mrs. Su.

At that thought, Su Yang couldn't help but feel self-reproach, and her tone became even gentler.

"Yanyan, since you've decided not to go to the company, what are your plans? What do you intend to do? You studied design in university; how about joining mom's studio? I can teach you personally."

Su Yang's studio was well-known, and many designers would do anything to get in, but upon hearing this, Wenyan shook her head and refused.

She chose to speak the truth.

"Mom, the truth is, I don't like design; what I love is acting. It may sound funny to you, but I chose design initially to please you. It was around the time when Zhirou came back, and I was afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore.

As a result, I didn't do well, and my graduation project received the lowest score in the class. I was just wasting precious time back then, but now I've realized what I truly want. I'll pursue what I enjoy, and I'll stop bothering Zhirou, so I don't put you and dad in a difficult position."
