Chapter 206 - 206: Her Parents’ Attitude
Shen Bai pulled Shen Su’s hand. “What’s wrong? Is it that difficult? I’ll accompany you to see Grandma. Grandma won’t reprimand you. She always takes your side no matter what. You should tell her earlier in case something happens and it’ll be difficult then.”
Shen Su held Shen Bai’s hand and said with a sobbing tone, “Sister, my mother is really on Mu En’s side. She doesn’t care if I’m hurt at all.”
Only then did Shen Bai understand why her sister was sad. She was not surprised, but she was quite sad for Shen Su.
She patted the back of her sister’s hand and said softly, “Let’s go see Grandma. Don’t let them beat you to it and Grandma will come to a conclusion first. Then you’ll be passive and make Grandpa and Grandma passive.”
She glanced at her sister and lowered her eyes. “As long as Grandpa and Grandma are still around, no one else has the right to do whatever they want in this family.”
Her tone was very firm.
Shen Su felt extremely upset.
Yu Ling only returned to the old residence with Shen Yi after he got off work. She did not have the guts to go back to the old residence to challenge Old Master and Old Madam, even if she wanted to bring her biological daughter back.
In this family, even Old Master’s dog in the backyard had a higher status than her.
Shen Yi already knew the whole story, so his face immediately darkened when he saw Shen Su. “Why aren’t you going home? Why are you always hiding here?”
Shen Su leaned towards Grandma.
Ning Xin glanced at her son and didn’t even look at Yu Ling. She said calmly, “Isn’t this her home? Can’t she come and accompany the old lady when she’s free? This child is very filial! Her sister’s health isn’t good. She can be happy with Shen Su’s company. Are you blaming her or complaining about us old farts? We’re such bothers, right?.”
Shen Yi’s arrogance immediately decreased. He smiled apologetically and said, “Mom, I didn’t mean that. Look at what you’re saying. Aren’t you maligning your son?”
Ning Xin rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t you want to wrong your daughter too?”
Shen Yi was helpless and could only say, “Mom, this child is too willful. She quarreled with Mu En and insisted on breaking up. Our families have agreed on their relationship. We’re compatible. Mu En is not bad either. Where else can we find such a good marriage candidate? She insisted on fooling around and refused to listen to anyone. She’s really not sensible at all!”
Shen Yi glared at Shen Su sternly.
Shen Su turned her head away and wiped the tears off her face.
Ning Xin couldn’t be bothered to hear her son’s words. She said patiently, ”1 know about this. I even got someone to investigate. It’s indeed because that kid from the Mu Family has a bad character. I agree to Shen Su breaking up. I’ve also informed Mu Chen. Our girl doesn’t need to do such a thing as a marriage alliance.”
“If you don’t do well in the family business, it’s because you men are incompetent. Don’t have any thoughts of letting girls marry for business! If you admit that you’re incompetent, make a sound as soon as possible and give up your position. Naturally, there will be girls with both virtue and talent to replace you. They won’t do worse than you.”
Shen Yi was speechless.
In this family, Old Master was in charge of the name, but the actual person in charge was Old Madam. She really meant what she said. Old Master listened to Old Madam the most in his life.
She had a fiery temper when she was young. Now that she was old, especially when it came to her grandchildren whom she adored, her temper was so calm that it was like she was a different person compared to when she was young.
However, Shen Yi knew very well that Old Master could scold him, but he should not make Old Madam dislike him.
Seeing that he had wilted, Yu Ling couldn’t help but feel anxious. She gently pulled his arm and glared at Shen Su. She made up her mind and said with a smile, “Mom, Mu En came to the house to apologize today. He’s quite sincere. The Eldest Madam of the Mu Family also came and pleaded for her son. She said that it was all a misunderstanding.”
“It’s not uncommon for young ladies to pounce on children from families like ours. Mu En is really wronged this time. Shen Su, don’t keep hiding. Just meet Mu En and have a good talk. If there’s any knot in your heart, can’t you just resolve it?”
“What’s there to talk about? I saw it with my own eyes, not hearsay.” Shen Su finally spoke and faced her biological parents.
“So what? Sometimes, it might not be true even if you see it with your own eyes. You should consider Mu En’s feelings. You should hear what he has to say. What if there’s something else? Don’t you think so?” Yu Ling guided him patiently..
