Chapter 567



567 no need to pursue

He turned to look at Shi Lin.

“daddy.”

“good.” shi lin turned his face to the side.

shi yan could tell that he was trying to suppress his emotions. he couldn’t maintain his calm smile for a moment, but it was only for a moment. he quickly returned to normal.

“Second Grandpa, second grandma, third Grandpa, second uncle, and second aunt,” he greeted the others one by one.

“it’s good that you’re back.”

Someone’s voice was choked with sobs. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he could only say, ” it’s good that you’re back.

shi yan did not seem to notice their emotions, but she clenched the small bag in her hands tightly when they did not notice.

“Big brother, second brother, third brother, Bo Chen,” he nodded to the others with a smile.

shi boran and shi boyu looked at her without saying a word. shi boxiao laughed and scolded her, ” stupid girl, ” with reddened eyes. shi bochen was young and did not have so many concerns. he started crying without caring about his image while calling her ” sister yan. ”

Su Wan held Shi Yan’s hand and cried for a while more before Shi poran said, ” “Mom, let Yanyan in first. Grandfather and grandmother are still waiting.”

in this group of people, apart from shi yan, shi poran was the calmest.

he had the demeanor of a leader.

he looked like he didn’t care much about shi yan’s return, but in fact, shi yan knew that he cared about it no less than anyone else present.

The brother and sister’s eyes met again. Shi Yan called him again,”big brother,”

this “big brother” was more serious than the one just now, and there were also some other emotions that were difficult to understand.

many years later, everyone was very careful with shi yan, except for shi poran.

Wasn’t his attitude also pushing Shi Yan away?

if everyone in the shi family treated her carefully, afraid that they would say something wrong and have all kinds of concerns about her, she would not be able to come back so easily like now.

shi poran looked at her and retracted his gaze after a glance.”yes, let’s go in.”

Su Wan didn’t let go of Shi Yan’s hand the entire time. Shi Yan let her pull him along and followed the crowd to the main hall.

Looking around at the strange yet familiar environment, she suddenly laughed softly.

It was only when she really came back that she realized that it was actually not that difficult.

That’s right, what’s so difficult about going home?

she had long fought for enough freedom for herself, unlike in the past.

walking into the main hall, there were two old men sitting on the main seats.

all of them looked serious, all of them had white hair, and all of them were breathing unevenly. their hair and clothes were also slightly messy, as if they had just sat down in a panic.

Seeing all this, Shi Yan let go of su Wan’s hand and walked into the main hall. She gave the two of them a Junior’s bow.”grandfather, grandmother,”

shi xun snorted coldly,”you still know to come back?” I thought you would never step into the Shi family again!”

after not seeing him for so many years, shi yan was a little nervous at the thought of meeting her dignified grandfather again, but now she wasn’t nervous anymore.

Apart from the unpleasant incident many years ago, the old man still looked the same as she was familiar with.

No, there was more white hair than she remembered.

“grandfather, you’re too kind. i’ll have to come back eventually.”

“if it wasn’t for that jiang family brat, would you have come back? in the end, our entire family is not as important as that kid from the jiang family, right? you can’t even see how well we’ve been treating you, but that brat’s few nice words have coaxed you into running around in circles. you’re really promising! She’s really a good daughter of the Shi family!”

the old man’s words shocked everyone and they hurriedly looked at shi yan.

“dad!”

“grandfather!”

……

There were voices of disagreement.

Normally, very few people would dare to oppose the old master like this. Even the old Madam, Xie Xi n, who was sitting beside him, glanced at him in disapproval.

only shi poran didn’t speak.

he walked to shi yan’s side and bowed to shi min before saying,”grandfather, it was indeed wrong of yanyan to leave home that year. as her elder brother, i will not absolve her of this. but do you dare to say that the rest of the family were not at fault? you didn’t do anything wrong?”

Shi Chen choked on his words.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Shi poran didn’t hold back at all, his eyes locked on Shi Chen.

the situation suddenly turned from subtle to a confrontation.

this wasn’t the scene shi yan wanted to see. she tugged at shi boran’s sleeve and shook her head at him. only then did shi boran retract his sharp edge a little, but he didn’t take the initiative to apologize.

He probably felt that he did not say anything wrong.

“i’m sorry, grandfather. big brother didn’t mean to be disrespectful to you. it was all my fault. If it wasn’t for my insensible actions back then, there wouldn’t be so many things, Yingluo.”

“What wrong did you do?” shi bozhen interrupted her.

He walked to her side and looked at Shi Chen, who was sitting in the main seat.”Grandfather, you promised me.”

No one knew what he had promised, but Shi Yan knew that since Shi boxiang had come back early, it was impossible for him to not do anything when he got home. no matter what, it was all for her second brother who had left home for nine years. her love and care for her had never changed.

“i don’t ask you to welcome me and yanyan back home with affection, and i don’t need you to apologize for what you did that year. You’re an elder after all, and it’s the younger generation’s fault to ask the elder to apologize to the younger generation, but you can’t pour cold water on us.”

” i’m a few years older and i’m a rough-skinned man, so it’s nothing to be splashed with cold water. yanyan is different, she’s a girl. she was only ten when she left home, and after nine years, she’s only a nineteen-year-old little girl. ”

“I don’t know how other 19-year-old girls grew up, but to be honest, I never thought that our Yanyan would grow up like this.”

Shi Xun’s face was tense. He glanced at Shi Yan, then quickly looked away as if he had noticed something.

Old Madam looked at old master and glanced at Shi Bozhen. “pomo.”

she didn’t quite agree with him talking to his elders like that.

” your grandfather has always been like this. he’s not targeting you, nor is he trying to dampen your enthusiasm. you should be very clear about this. why are you still rebuking him? ”

xie xi n’s line of sight swept across the crowd and looked at shi yan.”We were wrong in the past, but Yanyan, are you not at all wrong? why can’t we sit down and discuss things properly? you just left like that. do you think we’ll force you if you really don’t want to? are we that untrustworthy in your heart?”

Shi Yan wanted to refute, but her words were stuck in her throat.

to be honest, she felt that they were not trustworthy.

it wasn’t that he didn’t believe in her, and it wasn’t that he didn’t fight for her. back then, she had also retorted and fought for herself. however, she was still young at that time, and her words did not carry much weight. no one listened to her. they only thought that she could arrange the rest of her life, whether she was willing or not.

perhaps too much time had passed, and everyone had forgotten the situation at that time.

just as she was thinking about this, she saw xie xi n’s expression ease up a little, as if he had thought of something. After a long while, he sighed. forget it. Let the past be the past. We don’t have to pursue who’s right or wrong. It’s good that you’re back. These nine years have been wasted.

“Just treat it as a lesson for us and you. yanyan, you’re still young, and you still have a long way to go. you’ll experience many things. after a few years, you’ll realize that the things you care so much about now are only a small part of your life experience.”

“Perhaps I’ll remember it deeply, but that’s all there is to it,”

shi yan was silent.

she actually agreed with her grandmother’s words.

not to mention looking back a few years later, ever since she stepped into the shi family’s house again and realized that it was not as difficult as she had imagined, she already felt that those things back then were indeed ” only so-so “, even though she would probably never forget them for the rest of her life.

As for who was right and who was wrong, there was indeed no need to investigate.
