165 Instigation
“Dad! Look, this is the granddaughter you’ve doted on all your life. But she’s so lawless that she even beats people up. You must stand up for us in heaven!” Lin He prostrated herself in front of the Old Master’s tombstone and started sobbing. She secretly gave her stunned daughter a look.
Shen Luo immediately understood and hugged the tombstone as well. She cried, “Grandpa, to think that you doted on her so much when you were alive. But look at her now. Not only did she hit Mom and me, she also brought people to beat up Dad. You really doted on her for nothing!”
Shen Yin looked away sadly and looked at the rain falling on the ground.
It was true that she was not filial enough. Back then, her grandfather hoped that she could marry Lu Chen and live a good life, but she had not fulfilled her grandfather’s last wish and grown old with Lu Chen.
In the end, she was forced to get a divorce and even gave birth to a stranger’s child.
Her grandfather had treated her very well, but she could not even fulfill her grandfather’s wish. She was really too ashamed to stand here. Perhaps she should not have come…
Shen Luo was her grandfather’s legitimate granddaughter. She was nothing…
“You forced a rabbit to hit someone in front of her grandfather and you still have the cheek to cry?” Lian Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and his thin lips curled into a cold smile as he mocked them mercilessly.
“It’s not that Mom is unfilial to grandpa. You scolded me in front of grandpa first. You did something wrong, but you’re still complaining to grandpa. How shameless!” Shen Nian sat in Lian Jing’s arms and made a face at the two women in front of the tombstone.
Only then did Shen Luo notice the man who had rushed over to stop them. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His brows seemed to be furrowed, and his thin face had a frosty expression.
This was a man was charismatic, but unapproachable.
Shen Luo liked this type the most!
Seeing him naturally hug Shen Yin’s son, Shen Luo was so jealous that her expression grew vicious. Why was Shen Yin so lucky and always surrounded by such outstanding men!
Shen Yin, a divorced and worthless woman, was not worthy!
She felt that her looks were comparable to Shen Yin’s. Although she did not come from an important family, it was still better than Shen Yin’s status. She immediately got up from the ground arrogantly and puffed out her chest confidently. “Are you Shen Yin’s friend?”
Lian Jing did not even look at her and completely ignored her. He turned to look at the depressed Shen Yin. “Aren’t you going to pay your respects to Grandpa? Hurry up. It’s going to rain soon.”
Only then did Shen Yin regain her wits. The rain was falling faster, and it was about to rain heavily. She hurriedly took out the joss paper and Grandpa’s favorite snacks and placed them in front of Grandpa’s tombstone.
Lian Jing put Shen Nian down and walked over to complete the ritual with Shen Yin.
Shen Luo kept staring at his beautiful side profile.
This man’s looks were really one in a million. She had never seen such a good-looking man in her life. If only he fancied her…
Shen Luo could not help but giggle foolishly, attracting the puzzled gazes of Lin He and Shen Cheng.
Lin He immediately discerned her daughter’s thoughts. She sized up the man who had suddenly appeared and a trace of satisfaction flashed across her eyes.
On the other hand, Shen Cheng’s expression instantly darkened. This man had just kicked him to the ground. His daughter actually liked him? It was a slap to his face!
For some reason, he did not dare to say anything in Lian Jing’s presence. However, for the sake of his dignity and his ultimate goal, he still braced himself and said, “Shen Yin, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. You know that your Auntie Lin He has hated your mother all these years. Why don’t you come home with me for a meal? We can clear the air.”
“Is that necessary?” Shen Yin stood up and looked at him coldly. “Haven’t we had a lot of meals together in the past? If you couldn’t clear the air in the past, there’s even less need to explain anything in the future.”
“Shen Yin!” Shen Cheng glared at her and was about to open his mouth to scold her when Lian Jing’s fierce gaze fell on him. He was about to scold her, but he changed his mind. “No matter what, I’m still your father. Are you going to be unfilial in front of Grandpa?”
Seeing the hesitation in Shen Yin’s eyes, Lian Jing held her hand and said in a gentle and doting tone, “Grandpa will understand. Even if he was here, he will definitely support you in keeping your distance from these people.”
“What nonsense are you talking? Who are you? Don’t interfere in other people’s family matters!” Shen Cheng could not care less about Lian Jing and hurriedly chased him away.
If Lian Jing continued, Shen Yin definitely would not leave with them today.
He had heard from Shen Luo that Shen Yin had hooked up with a very rich man. He must not miss this opportunity to make a fortune!
Shen Luo saw through her father’s intentions and was afraid that this man would really leave. She hurriedly stepped forward and explained, “You might not know about our family’s matters. It’s Shen Yin who hasn’t contacted us for so many years. Her child is already six years-old, but we only found out today.”
She could tell that Lian Jing was defending Shen Yin, and she felt even more jealous. She pretended to look at Shen Yin awkwardly and said, “And I saw her having a meal with her boyfriend two days ago. That man wasn’t you.”
