CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

The dining room was entirely silent.

Shen Yiling who had never expected this turn of events was also speechless. However, there was no one else who could be happier than her at this moment.

Having Shen Youlin's shares of Shen Enterprises on her name…it would make her more powerful and make her more capable of marrying into He family.

And it would also make Shen Youlin weak.

She lowered her head to hide the smile from everyone that was threatening to form on her lips.

Shen Youlin, on the other hand, who noticed Shen Yiling's actions had a small smile on her own lips. Her eyes were completely indifferent and they didn't have any emotion that could show that she was very sad with the punishment Shen Zhilan had given her.

"I had never expected that you would turn out to be like this."

Seeing no reaction on Shen Youlin's face, Shen Zhilan continued

"But it doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want with your life but if you tried to play with Shen family's reputation, I will never let you do that. For now, you do not have any power to manage those shares but what is the guarantee that you will not sell them one day just because of your stupid drug addiction. I can't compromise with that."

Shen Weisheng's eyes were cold and he was seething in anger. He had many things to say but he first wanted to hear what Shen Youlin was going to say.

She had all the right to decide what she wanted to do but he still wished that she would argue with Shen Zhilan now and won't give her shares just like that.

After all, that was the only thing that connected her to Shen family, and regardless of how Shen family was, Shen Weisheng couldn't deny that it had a big name in City H.

No one would dare to say anything to Shen Youlin because she was from Shen family and since she didn't accept being his sister, only the big name of Shen family could protect her in City H.   

"Alright."

Shen Youlin said without any hesitation.

"Youlin"

She heard Shen Weisheng's cold voice immediately and turned to look at her. Seeing his serious face and firm eyes, she knew what he was trying to indicate.

She should not leave her shares just like this.

That was what he was trying to say but she had already made a decision. She didn't want anything from Shen family because what she wanted …they could never give her.

All of this money, company and business …she would perhaps one day make on her own and with her own hard work but she would never ask anything from Shen family because in their eyes she was never capable of managing all this or she should say that she didn't deserve all this.   

"It's alright."

Shen Youlin said to her brother softly and then picked her fork and knife to eat another slice of beef.

"The food is delicious. Let's not waste it."

Saying this, she was about to put it inside her mouth when Shen Yiling spoke up.

"Mom, you should not do this… How will she feel now? She will think that it was me who suggested you to do this. She will hate me."

Shen Yiling spoke with teary eyes.

Shen Youlin's lips twitched. She suddenly wondered how she couldn't see everything that she was able to see now. 

Since a few moments ago, Shen Yiling didn't say anything and now when she already had agreed to give her her shares, she was speaking now.

She put down the fork… unable to eat anything seeing all this pretense.

Her hunger had died already.

She sighed when Shen Yiling turned to look at her and said with those fake tears that made Shen Yiling wonder if Shen Yiling pinched herself mercilessly to cry so well.

"Youlin…"

Shen Yiling was about to say something when Shen Youlin sighed and raised her hand to stop her.

"Can you please stop this? I really don't care even if it was you who suggested this because I don't like you regardless of what you do or don't."

Shen Yiling's eyes went wide with shock seeing how freely Shen Youlin said this.

And Shen Youlin indeed felt free.

For years, she had actually wanted to say this. She realized it only now.

She didn't really like Shen Yiling because Shen Yiling easily got everything but she didn't even the cent percent of the love Shen Yiling was getting.

In fact, Shen Youlin couldn't even remember any moment where she felt familial love after her father suddenly left.

The man's whose face she can't even remember now and she didn't even have any way to see it.

Her whole life changed completely after he left but Shen Yiling's life only improved. 

"I…I…Youlin…don't say that please…"

Shen Yiling's tears soon started to fall down and Shen Youlin came out of her tears. She blinked her own eyes that were filled with real tears now but no one noticed it except Shen Weisheng.

"Youlin…what is this way of speaking to your Elder Sister?" 

It was Grandfather Shen who spoke this time.

After Grandfather Shen finished, Wang Weimin who had been sitting silently until now also spoke.

"Youlin, we can sort this matter out. I know that your mother's punishment is not right but there is no need to talk to your sister like this. Yiling had been waiting for you since the afternoon…"

"And by what right you are speaking to me?"

Shen Youlin interrupted Wang Weimin and said coldly. She had never liked Wang Weimin because he took her father's place away …but she never accepted him as her father.

"Youlin…"

Shen Zhilan shouted and stood up from her chair in rage.

However, before she could say anything Shen Weisheng also stood up from the chair holding Shen Youlin's hand.

"That was a very nice dinner mom."

Shen Weisheng said sarcastically to the already furious Shen Zhilan.

"We are leaving now."

Shen Weisheng said and Shen Yiling panicked. They still have not confirmed if Mo Roulan was going to come to Shen Mansion or not.

"Mom…"

She whispered slowly and held her mother's hand.

Shen Zhiilan also understood what her daughter was saying and said to Shen Youlin who had just turned around to leave with Shen Weisheng.

"Call that girl Mo Roulan here for the dinner otherwise the consequences will not be good."

Shen Youlin with her back facing Shen Zhhilan frowned deeply. What did Shen Zhilan want from Mo Roulan?

She would be a fool to believe that they really wanted to apologize from Mo Roulan.

However, before she could ask Shen Zhilan. Shen Weisheng pulled her out of the Shen Mansion without even letting her answer Shen Zhilan's order.

The furious Shen Zhilan threw away the plate on the floor.

Only now she was able to see how her children were getting out of her hands. They no longer completed her orders like before because she could no longer control them.

Because her whole life she would not be able to control them.

Only now she was going to realize it.
