As the seconds ticked by and the sun began to tilt, as if it were hanging precariously on a distant hill, orange light slipped through the window into the room and onto Shen's computer.
Shen Xiangsi faced the computer that was reflecting the light. She was about to get up to close the curtain when her phone rang. Shen Xiang Si took it over and saw, to her astonishment, that it was Old Master Shen who had called over.
Why would Grandpa call at this time? Did something happen? Shen Xiangsi could not help becoming anxious. Although her relationship with her grandfather wasn't that good right now, in her heart, her grandfather was still her family.
"Hey, Lovesick," Old Master Shen's voice sounded from the phone, "I'm grandfather."
Shen Xiangsi answered with a "En" and asked Old Master Shen if anything had happened. Despite her best efforts, there was a hint of worry in her voice.
When Old Master Shen heard it, his mood immediately brightened, and he straightforwardly said: "I'm fine, it's just that tonight I want to go with your aunt to the Jin Family to see Jia Yao."
When Shen Xiangsi heard this, the trace of warmth instantly disappeared. She only felt a chill in her heart as her tone turned cold, "What's wrong? Did she complain to you? " Shen Jiayao, this woman, what are you trying to do now!
Old Master Shen did not answer Shen Xiangsi's question. Instead, he continued, "Your aunt and I are already on our way, you must remember to leave some food for us." Old Master Shen informed his of the news but did not say anything else, and quickly hung up.
Shen Xiangsi stared blankly at the screen as a strange feeling surfaced in her heart. Even though she had already guessed what kind of relationship she and her grandfather would have, when her grandfather was in front of her with her mouth wide open and her mouth full of Shen Jiayao, she still felt very uncomfortable. Was her grandfather, who had been supporting her from behind, really gone?
Shen Xiang Si rubbed her eyes, no longer in the mood to draw. She immediately turned off the computer and went out of the room, just in time to welcome Jin Yulin and the little bun who had returned.
Little Bun excitedly jumped into's mother's embrace. Jin Yulin's serious face also revealed a smile. Seeing the father and son duo, Shen Xiangsi's mood improved.
After the three of them chatted and joked for a while, Shen Xiangsi finally mentioned that the Old Master and Li Jinling were coming over.
Jin Yulin observed Shen Xiangsi's expression without batting an eyelid and said, "I know, I got his call while I was on the way. He said that he wanted to see Shen Jiayao."
Shen Xiangsi paused for a moment. She didn't think that her grandfather would actually call Jin Yulin as well. Could it be that he was worried that she would reject his offer, and so he planned to use Jin Yulin to pressure her? Shen Xiangsi mocked herself in her heart. She felt that she was somewhat pitiful.
Jin Yulin saw that Shen Xiang Si did indeed look a little depressed, and immediately held her hand and said seriously: "It's fine, Xiang Si, I'll accompany you."
The little bun, who was listening at the side, also quickly extended his little hand and shouted, "Me too, me too!" It was a pity that the little bun was too short. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't grab his parents' hands, which were being pulled up high. He was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. Shen Xiangsi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She took the initiative to lower her hand and wrap the little bun's hand between the two of them. Only then did the little bun feel satisfied.
Tonight, however, it was not going to be peaceful. Once Li Jinling got out of the car, without waiting for the old man, he rushed into the Jin family with a swagger. He hugged Shen Jiayao and started crying, his words filled with humiliation for Shen Xiangsi. Jin Yulin was furious and was about to kick them out, but Shen Xiang Si stopped him.
"If they want to cause trouble, so be it. They won't be able to stay alive for long anyway." Shen Xiangsi's face was calm. She had long since learned not to listen to the words that she did not want to hear. No matter how much they scolded, she could remain indifferent.
Since Shen Xiang Si still did not want to have a falling out with Li Jinling and her daughter, Jin Yulin could only keep a dark face and endure and ignore them.
Li Jinling spoke wantonly, but seeing that no one stopped her, she could not help but become even more pleased. She had already heard from her daughter about her daughter's' good deeds'. She felt that Shen Xiangsi was about to be done for, and the Jin family would definitely be her and her daughter's. Since that was the case, it was only right for her to put on the act of being the madame!
As a result, while they were eating, Li Jinling kept on complaining about it, ordering the servants to go around in circles. Jin Yulin's face darkened, and Shen Xiangsi was not feeling well either. This was because from start to finish, Old Master Shen did not have any reaction, and did not pay any attention to Li Jinling's shamelessness.
Shen Xiangsi's heart grew colder and colder. Suddenly, the Old Master opened her mouth, "Xiangsi, now that you and your sister are both members of the Jin family, the Shen family only has two bloodlines. The Shen family is the root of our Shen family, we can't lose it, it's still better to take it back. What do you think?"
Shen Xiangsi was almost angered to the point of laughing. She did not expect that her grandfather would still be concerned about this even now. Yes, she knew that the Shen family was her grandfather's life's work. It was normal for him to feel reluctant to part with them, but it was also him who did not know how the Shen family would be bought. A loss is a loss, how can you think of giving two granddaughters in exchange for the Shen family!
Shen Xiangsi was already angered. For the sake of the Shen Clan, her grandfather had abandoned her, and even wanted Shen Jiayao to snatch Jin Yulin away. She did not care about her feelings in the slightest. Shen Xiangsi sneered, "Now what's left of the Shen family? They've long been separated into the Jin family. Furthermore, the Shen family no longer wishes to inherit the Shen Clan's man, there is no need for them to exist! "
Hearing that, Old Master Shen was furious, he slammed the table and said, "You unfilial girl!" Shen Xiangsi had really stabbed the pain in his heart. Now that he didn't have two sons, his only grandson had to stay in some small country and couldn't come back. He only had two granddaughters left. The Shen family no longer had an heir, he had truly let his ancestors down!
Old Master Shen was so angry that his mouth was trembling. Li Jinling was overjoyed at his misfortune, and began to reprimand Shen Xiangsi with a complacent look, "Good, Shen Xiangsi, now you don't even put your grandfather in your eyes! "I raised you to this age, yet you only know how to walk away from home. As expected of a man who forgot his family!" Li Jinling spouted out a lot of stuff, and Shen Jiayao also chimed in with all her might. In an instant, the entire dining table was filled with obscenities.
Shen Xiangsi ignored them, only tightly covering the little bun's ears. However, the sharp voices of Li Jinling and her mother still reached the little bun's ears. The little bun could no longer hold back and loudly retorted, "You are all bad people, I want to kick you out of my house!"
Hearing that, Shen Jiayao laughed in disdain, "Humph, this place will soon be my home!"
