Chapter 982: UNCLE, NEPHEW TALK

IF Shen Ji Yun was the one driving, he would have probably stepped on the break the moment he heard what his uncle said. He glanced at the other. His uncle had a carefree look on his face, as if he had finally let go of a heavy burden he had been carrying for a long time. And maybe he was.

There was no way that his uncle was joking just now. So, it's natural to think that the other really did just come out of the closet. Added that to the fact that he stormed out of his grandfather's study and the reaction of his elder uncle, then there's no doubt that he indeed just dropped the 'bomb' in the study.

If that was the case, then it was no wonder that he looked so liberated. It was a secret that his uncle had harbored for decades. And now, he was finally able to let it out.

But knowing his uncle, Shen Ji Yun was certain that the other didn't plan to do that today of all days. If he really wanted to 'come out of the closet' as he put it, he would tell it first to his grandmother. So, it's more accurate to say that he was forced to reveal it.

"Did Grandfather do something to make you angry?" he asked, because that's the only reason he could think of why his uncle would do this confession.

Shen Yi Mu was silent for a moment before answering, "He set me up with a blind date."

Shen Ji Yun was slightly surprised when he heard that. Considering his uncle's age, it would definitely be a blind date with the goal of marriage. However, with his uncle's temperament, he didn't think that it would be enough to anger him to that extent.

But then again, considering how his uncle was just recently reunited with Uncle Yue, the other might be in a sensitive state. If he thought that his relationship with Uncle Yue might be affected and he might lose the other again, there's a possibility that he would be too sensitive and so, he reacted like that.

Not that he could blame him. If he was in his uncle's shoes, he would probably react the same way. Thankfully, he probably wouldn't experience being forced to a blind date.

His uncle already knew about him and Luo Yan. And if his grandmother accepted his uncle's relationship with Uncle Yue, which she most likely would, then it would be easier for her to accept his relationship with Luo Yan.

They were the only elders in his family whose opinions mattered to him. So, if it was okay for them, then he had nothing to worry. Except for Luo Yan's family, or rather, his father, Uncle Wei Tian.

"Did Grandfather not have a heart attack because of your sudden confession?" Shen Ji Yun thought of asking.

His grandfather was already at that age where a big stimulation like that could cause a heart attack. Even if the other had not been kind to him, he wouldn't wish him harm. After all, he was still his grandfather.

"Don't worry, Elder brother was there, and he readily gave Dad medicine."

Shen Yi Mu knew that his elder brother would immediately support their father in case something went wrong. That's why he didn't hesitate to say what he said. No matter how angry he was, he wouldn't wish for something bad to happen to his father.

Shen Ji Yun asked another question, "How will Uncle explain things to Grandma?"

"I'll meet her tomorrow to explain things properly."

Just like he said to his father, Shen Yi Mu was not worried that his mother wouldn't accept him. It would probably take a bit of time for her to fully digest this... revelation. But that didn't mean that she would avoid him for it. His mother would treat him the same way, probably with just a bit of awkwardness.

And once she's finally ready, he would ask her to meet with Ah Yue.

Thinking of his plans for the future, he couldn't help but smile.

Shen Ji Yun saw that smile and was a bit relieved. If his uncle could smile like that despite what happened, then that must mean that he was no longer as angry.

"You and the rest of your team will attend the opening ceremony for Arcadia Cup, right?" His uncle suddenly asked after a while, completely changing the subject.

Shen Ji Yun didn't mind since there's really nothing more he could ask him. "Yes. I heard the venue this year for the opening ceremony is a new area that hasn't been opened yet."

"Did Zhao Cheng leak information to you again?" Shen Yi Mu asked with a frown, referring to his friend, as well as the head of Moonlight Media's programming department.

"No, I just deduced it on my own," Shen Ji Yun said expressionlessly.

Well, it's not like he's lying. Although he did talk to Brother Zhao, he didn't ask about that directly. He was just able to deduce it naturally.

"Then, did you also know that there would be special performances during the ceremony?"

His uncle asked that with a bit of teasing in his tone, which made him a little confused. He tilted his head and asked;

"Isn't that already a common occurrence?"

Since there's always special performances during Arcadia Cup's opening ceremony. After all, if the ceremony was only about welcoming all the teams who would participate in this season's Cup, then it would be boring. Just like any event, special performances were a must for the audience.

His uncle seemed to be satisfied with his reaction, since a smug expression appeared on his face. No, it was more like the other was gloating that he knew something that he didn't. But wasn't that only natural since he was the president of Moonlight Media and therefore had more knowledge about this event?

"Hmm... I don't know, maybe one of this year's special performances would surprise you."

Shen Ji Yun could only shake his head and decided not to take his uncle's answer too seriously.
