The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 872

The parents of the Shen family indeed came back, but they were standing aside a woman while flattering her as if they were slaves.

"Gisella, here, have some oranges..."

Mrs. Shen peeled the oranges and looked at the woman dotingly, but the woman said impatiently, "Oh, can you stop offering it to me as I don't want it? I'm not a kid! Where were you in the past and why are you treating me so well now?"

Mrs. Shen was stunned after she heard what the woman said and a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.

Mr. Shen couldn't stand it anymore, so he whispered, "Gisella, how can you be so rude to your mother?"

"What's wrong with my words? I'm already going easy on you even though you've lost me when I was a child and you even raised someone else's daughter. She is living such a good life right now...but what about me? All these were supposed to be mine! Yet I'm sitting here like an outsider now... How dare you expect me to be polite to you?"

Mango no longer felt happy as she was just now when she heard this and she recalled at that instant the reason the Shen parents left. Also, the person before her was surely Gisella Shen and this woman was the one she saw in the picture that was hidden in her photo frame.

Hmm... Gisella Shen?

Did she even change her surname?

That was to say, this woman was the Shen parents' biological daughter?

Mango had mixed feelings deep down and she didn't know whether to leave or to enter the house now that she was standing at the entrance. Her parents were once extremely close to her yet they seemed so unfamiliar to her at this moment.

On the other hand, Zion looked at Mango and he could tell that she was in a bad mood although she didn't say anything.

He took a deep breath before saying with a bright smile, "Grandpa and grandma, you are here?"

The Shen parents turned their heads the moment they heard Zion's voice and they saw Mango holding Zion's hand at the entrance of the living room. They seemed awkward as they had no idea when did Mango came home.

"Mango, you're back? Come in and have a seat."

Mrs. Shen's reacted in an instant as she quickly put down the oranges in her hands and called

Mango in.

At that moment, Mango felt as if she hadn't returned to her own home but to the Shen family's house instead.

Nevertheless, she nodded with a smile and walked in with Zion.

Gisella had been staring at Mango the entire time and when she saw that Mango was prettier than her, she said out of the blue, "You did plastic surgery, isn't it?"

"Gisella!"

Mrs. Shen nudged Gisella's sleeve hurriedly.

No one knew why did Mango do plastic surgery, but the Shen parents were well aware of it. So, Mrs. Shen immediately stopped Gisella, who clearly wanted to mock Mango for her appearances.

However, Gisella felt displeased.

"What's wrong? Why are you nudging me! It's obvious that she did plastic surgery, so why can't she let others talk about it? You're really treating her differently just because you raised her by your side."

Mango felt heartbroken at that instant as Gisella's words truly hurt her deep down.

"Hey! Who are you to talk to my grandmother that

manner?"

Zion reprimanded Gisella straightforwardly before Mango could utter a word.

Gisella didn't expect that a little boy would be so disrespectful to her when Mango didn't even say a word, so she snorted and said, "Humph! Why don't you ask your grandma who am I?"

At that instant, the living room became pin-drop silent.

The Shen parents mentioned to Mango that they just went out to travel without telling the real reason. So, they had no idea how to explain themselves now that they brought their biological daughter back all of a sudden.

Mr. Shen also seemed awkward and embarrassed.

"Uh... Mango, she is Gisella Shen."

Mr. Shen pondered for a long time before he said those few words.

"Oh."

Mango nodded with a faint smile and no one could tell from her gaze what she was thinking.

At that moment, Mr. Shen didn't know what to say next and he looked at his wife to ask for help.

So, Mrs. Shen was awkward and she quickly poured a glass of water for Mango.

"Mango, have some water." "Alright."

Mango took a sip of water before sitting down on the sofa.

Then, they fell into an awkward silence again.

Gisella felt really dissatisfied as the Shen parents merely mentioned her name without explaining anything else.

"What's wrong? Why are you afraid of her? She may be Mrs. Ye, but she would probably just be a trash collector if you didn't raise her. Do you really feel so ashamed of me that you became a mute?"

"Hey... uhm... Gisella Shen, right?"

Mango felt displeased with her parents' behavior deep down, but her expression became gloomy as she couldn't bear letting others disrespect her parents like that.
