Elder Shen also hoped that they were really family. Of course, he hoped Shen Ru and Tong Yan were his flesh and blood as well, but the wish was wishful thinking. One of them had to be real and the other fake…
But for now, the answer was still unclear.
Shen Ru and Tong Yan hoped desperately they were still the Shen family's people because they understood clearly, without the Shen family, they were nothing. Even if Tong Yan was still from the Tong family, her position would not be as powerful as before. Furthermore, the Lin family had become the nation's traitors…
The thought of being roped into such a life made Tong Yan shiver all over.
Now she realized how lucky she was.
She didn't appreciate the treasures she was born with. If she had made something out of herself, and didn't go around making enemies, she wouldn't have to rely so completely on the families behind her. Even if she didn't have the Shen name, she wouldn't have ended up with nothing.
