Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 863 Why are you all so bad?
Sheng Yao also noticed her uncle's expression. Seeing that he didn't speak, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Uncle? Don't you agree?"
The uncle said somewhat seriously, "Yaoyao, it's not that your uncle disagrees, it's that he can't agree."
Sheng Yao was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
This matter is a bit complicated. Her uncle didn't want Sheng Yao to be involved, so he simply told her, "If it were anything else, your uncle would definitely find a way to satisfy you, but this is something I really can't do."
Sheng Yao asked, puzzled, "Why? Our family isn't short of money. Are you afraid of losing money?"
Since her uncle didn't speak, Sheng Yao quickly explained, "Uncle, don't worry. Although Shen Boyan's company is small, they are very capable. Once their projects are successful, many people will definitely come to them for cooperation. You definitely won't lose money."
The uncle sighed helplessly, "This isn't about money."
He really didn't know how to explain it to Sheng Yao.
Sheng Yao looked at him with increasing confusion, "If it's not about money, why don't you agree? Don't you like Shen Boyan?"
The uncle was both amused and exasperated. "He hasn't offended me, so why would I dislike him? Besides, even if I didn't like him, would you be happy?"
"He definitely won't be happy," Sheng Yao whispered. "He's a really nice person, why wouldn't you like him?"
Sheng Yao realized the conversation had gone off-topic, and she quickly asked her uncle, "It's not about money, and you don't dislike him, so why aren't you willing to help him?"
"This..." The uncle looked troubled.
Sheng Yao knew that her uncle was definitely hiding something from her, so she pressed him for details, "Uncle, what exactly is going on? Tell me!"
Sheng Yao stared intently at her uncle, as if to say, "If you don't tell me, I'll keep asking."
Her uncle had no choice but to tell her, but he still didn't tell Sheng Yao the truth, only the reason.
"You should know that Shen Boyan doesn't get along with his family, right?"
Sheng Yao nodded. "Yes, but what does that have to do with this matter?"
"Ever since my family told me that you were going to be with Shen Boyan, I have made a point of looking into the Shen family and found out that Shen Boyan has severed ties with them for a long time."
Sheng Yao became more and more confused as she listened, still not understanding what her uncle meant by these words.
“Silly girl, do you know that Shen Boyan’s father strongly opposes him opening a company in Chongqing? He has always wanted Shen Boyan to return to Beijing. Do you think the Shen family doesn’t have the ability to help Shen Boyan? They do. The reason they don’t interfere in Shen Boyan’s affairs is that they want Shen Boyan to give up when he has no other choice but to return to Beijing.”
Sheng Yao was stunned.
The uncle sighed, "They say even an upright official can't settle family disputes. The Shen family is ignoring Shen Boyan's problems. How can I help them? If you didn't know Shen Boyan, that would be one thing, but you two have this relationship now. Shen Boyan's relationship with his father has always been strained. If I help Shen Boyan now, it's like I'm going against Shen Boyan's father."
"But that's all in the past!" Sheng Yao pouted. "Didn't Shen Boyan go home this time? What else do they want from him?"
"He went home, but have you forgotten who sent him back to Chongqing?"
Sheng Yao bit her lip. "But he doesn't like staying in the capital. What's the point of forcing him to stay?"
"Whether he likes it or not, he's not in the capital right now, but he'll have to go back eventually. If you make me help Shen Boyan now, then the Shen family and the Sheng family won't get along well in the future, understand?"
"We can't just stand by and watch his company go bankrupt!" Sheng Yao exclaimed. "There must be a reason why Shen Boyan doesn't want to return to the Shen family. Why don't they reflect on their own problems and instead choose to make things difficult for Shen Boyan? Do they think that if they just watch his company go bankrupt, Shen Boyan will be willing to go back?"
The uncle comforted her, "Yaoyao, the Shen family's situation is very complicated. I don't object to your liking for Shen Boyan, nor do your parents or grandfather. But this is a matter between father and son, and you must not get involved."
Sheng Yao stood up abruptly, "What's so complicated about it? Even if it's complicated, there's a right and a wrong. They did this without considering Shen Boyan's feelings. Do they have no humanity at all?"
The uncle's expression was complicated; he also wanted to see Sheng Yao sad because of Shen Boyan.
But he really couldn't get involved in this matter.
“Yaoyao, your uncle knows you are kind-hearted and really want to help him, but this matter concerns their family affairs, and we outsiders cannot interfere.”
"But I already promised him, and I even swore that you would definitely help him!"
Sheng Yao cried, feeling wronged. "Even if you don't want to help him, you should at least come up with a better reason. What do you mean by 'it's someone else's family matter'? He started his business all by himself and worked so hard to build it up. Now you're all targeting him. How can you all be so mean..."
"Yaoyao, let your uncle explain..."
"I won't listen!" Sheng Yao pouted, tears streaming down her face. "Uncle, tell me, are you willing to not help Shen Boyan in this matter?"
When her uncle saw her crying, he felt heartbroken. Usually, no matter what Sheng Yao said, her uncle would try his best to agree to her and satisfy her. This was the first time he had done something like this.
Her uncle could understand why she was so sad. This girl was simple-minded. When she went to him, she naturally didn't think about anything and assumed that he would definitely agree to her request.
If the other party was just an ordinary friend, and her uncle refused, Sheng Yao could simply make up an excuse to brush it off.
But that's the person she likes. She had promised to do something, but now she can't. How can she face Shen Boyan?
This was somewhat cruel to Sheng Yao, but even so, her uncle still stuck to his own ideas.
Her uncle's silence chilled Sheng Yao to the bone.
She didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.
In her view, her uncle was helping the Shen family to pressure Shen Boyan. They knew that Big Bad Wolf Company was very important to Shen Boyan, but they still chose to stand by and watch him die.
Sheng Yao didn't care at all why Shen Boyan had severed ties with the Shen family.
All she knew was that, whatever Shen Boyan's reasons for not wanting to return to the Shen family, they should respect his decision.
Instead of using such despicable means to coerce him.
He is a human being, not an animal. He shouldn't be made to do whatever they want him to do.
As soon as her aunt came downstairs, she saw Sheng Yao running out crying.
"Yaoyao..."
By the time she hurriedly came down the stairs, Sheng Yao had already disappeared.
My aunt looked worried and turned to my uncle, asking, "How did it get like this in such a short time?"
