The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 77

Chapter 77

The clues connected in her mind and the thought became clearer .

Just as she pondered about that, Shen Feng suddenly called for her .

“Shen Duan, you shall be responsible for receiving the guests from the God Realm . Shen Ling, if the Vermilion Bird has any requests, you have to satisfy him immediately . As for the rest, go and do what you’re supposed to be doing! Xiaoxiao, come and walk with me to my study room . ”

…

That was the first time Shen Yanxiao had entered Shen Feng’s study . It was simple and unadorned, with a bookcase that was tightly packed with ancient books and a table . The Vermilion Bird Family was very rich, but Shen Feng’s way of life was unexpectedly simple and plain . He was frugal, but he would never mistreat any member of his family .

“Have a seat . ” Shen Feng smiled and looked at Shen Yanxiao .

Shen Yanxiao complied with the request and sat down . She did not know why Shen Feng wanted her in his study, so she waited for him to start the conversation .

Shen Feng took a scroll painting from behind his desk and gave it to Shen Yanxiao .

She unfolded the scroll and saw that it was a painting of a couple who stood side by side . The man was in his early twenties, and he looked a hundred times better than Shen Yifeng . Even though it was only a painting, the man’s elegant appearance was vivid and lifelike . His smiling eyes would have attracted favorable opinions, and the woman who was nestled against him seemed dainty . She was beautiful and had huge, lively eyes along with perfect facial features that appeared very likeable in general . . It was as if a fairy had descended onto the world, and they could not shift their gaze away from her .

The two people in the painting were so perfect that they did not seem real .

“They are your parents . Unfortunately, they passed away soon after you were born . ” Shen Feng’s voice was low, and there was obvious regret in his tone of voice .

Shen Yanxiao was confounded . She finally understood why Shen Yue and the rest had always denied her to be Shen Yu’s child . How could such a perfect pair of couple give birth to such an unattractive child? Even Shen Yanxiao had doubts about her identity, let alone Shen Duan or Shen Yue .

“I don’t look like them . ”

Shen Feng smiled and said, “Although you don’t resemble them, I can see a shadow of your father when you smiled after you had recovered .

Shen Yanxiao touched her ordinary-looking face, and it was hard to believe her smile was similar to the man in the scroll painting .

Her appearance was like an ugly duckling, and it was not even enough to describe the couple in the scroll painting as beautiful swans .

Even if it was a genetic mutation, was the change not too outrageously excessive? There were no cosmetic surgeries in that era, and yet that couple looked perfect . If she were their daughter, why was her appearance so… repulsive?!

Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips . The heavens must have really disliked her . Even with such gorgeous parents, her appearance still lacked . She felt as if she let them down somehow .

“Your father was my youngest son, and he was also my pride and joy . I had hoped that he could become the Vermillion Bird’s master if we were to wake the mythical beast . He was brilliant and talented in battle aura . Everyone saw Shen Yifeng as a rare prodigy in this century, but he was not even comparable to your father . ” Shen Feng stood behind Shen Yanxiao and looked at the image of his son on the scroll painting, the son that he was most proud of . He had passed away for such a long time, but there was still sadness in Shen Feng’s eyes .
