Seeing that it was a call from Chen Nian, Shen Yan answered her phone.
“Yanyan,” Chen Nian’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone. “You finally thought it over and decided not to hide your identity anymore?”
Shen Yan smiled helplessly and replied, “It’s not like this is a good thing!”
She did not want her identity to be revealed before, as she wanted to live a simple life.
When Chen Nian heard her response, she chuckled unkindly. “Everyone is asking me how you suddenly became the daughter of the Shen family. Oh right! Fu Xiaoxiao had posted a text apology on her social media. Take a look! I’ve already sent you the picture.”
“A text apology?” Shen Yan frowned slightly. She snorted coldly. “Fu Xiaoxiao really has the guts. She actually did not send a video apology.”
“Video apology?” Chen Nian, who was lying on the couch, sat up excitedly. The corners of her lips curled up joyfully. “Yanyan, what’s going on? Tell me quickly!”
Shen Yan had just reached the parking lot. She recalled all the things that had happened and said, “I’m about to drive home. I’ll tell you when I get home.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Fu Xiaoxiao had sent out a text apology so quickly. Was she trying to renege on the video apology?
Her lips curled up slightly. There was no way she was going to let the Fu family get away with it.
When Fu Xiaoxiao issued an apology on her social media, all the socialites and second-generation rich kids in the country were shocked.
The Shen family was the top of the four hidden families. It was said that their assets were ranked top ten among the countries around the world. They were not just rich.
It was said that Shen Kun, the head of the Shen family, only had one daughter.
What did this mean?
Back then, when Shen Yan married Fu Hang, not only did she not climb up the social ladder, but she married someone of a lower status instead!
The circle of the upper-class society was only this big, and there were only a few people at the top. Everyone in the high society knew that the Shen family was simply more than being rich.
Shen Yan’s mother, Jiang Jing, was a celebrity. The assets under her name were not included in the Shen family. Her personal assets were ranked top twenty worldwide.
The young ladies who were close to Fu Xiaoxiao were ordered by their families not to associate with her anymore.
When Zhao Yu saw Fu Xiaoxiao’s social media, he thought that she was just joking. After hesitating for a while, he took a screenshot and went to ask Chen Nian about it.
After getting an affirmative answer from Chen Nian, Zhao Yu was completely stunned.
Zhao Yu poured himself a glass of wine. Just as he took a sip, he saw Fu Hang push open the door and entered. He smoothly handed him a glass of wine.
“A Hang, is Shen Yan really Shen Kun’s daughter?” Zhao Yu inquired and looked at him curiously.
Hearing Zhao Yu’s words, Fu Hang became even more annoyed and replied in an unpleasant manner, “Get lost!”
Zhao Yu knew that if this matter was false, Fu Hang would definitely not be in this state now.
“Oh my God!” Zhao Yu was appalled. The Shen family, the legendary Shen family, “Shen Yan is a legitimate daughter of a rich family. If she marries you, that would be a dowry!”
“Oh my god!” Zhao Yu was utterly shocked. That was the Shen family, the legendary Shen family! “Shen Yan is a legitimate daughter of a rich family. That means that she married down when she got married to you!”
Fu Hang felt stifled. He had his best to protect Shen Yan, but he never expected her to keep such a big secret from him.
If he had known that Shen Yan was the daughter of the Shen family, he would have talked to her about letting the Shen family swallow the Fu family instead of treating her coldly for three years.

He felt that everything he had done was in vain. He failed to make her stay and failed to control the Fu family.

…
The news that Shen Yan was the daughter of the Shen family spread across the internet in less than an hour.
When Shen Yan returned home and opened her door, Chen Nian, who was next door, ran up to her quickly.
“Yanyan, tell me about it!” Chen Nian’s eyes lit up brightly, and the corners of her lips were curled up.
Shen Yan grinned and called for Chen Nian to come in. Then, she briefly told her about what had happened in the Fu family.
“Oh my god, has Fu Xiaoxiao gone insane?” Chen Nian picked up her glass of red wine in disbelief and took a sip before putting it back on the table. “Doesn’t she know the consequences of offending the Shen Family? How dare she challenge you?”
“Fu Xiaoxiao is capable of doing anything,” Shen Yan thought of what Fu Xiaoxiao had said and continued indifferently with a gloomy face, “Her apology is just a pretense. You shouldn’t take it seriously. Who knows what she’ll do again.”
When Chen Nian thought of Fu Xiaoxiao, she could not help but shiver.
