The Shen family's old house is located in the south of City A. The ancestors built the house here, and later, when Mr. Shen was young, he renovated it and expanded the area of ​​the ancestral house.

Shen Jiazhou drove the car through the gate, and after about five more minutes, he arrived at the main hall of the Shen family. He parked the car in a random spot, got out, and a servant ran over to take the keys from his hand and park the car for him.

Shen Jiazhou asked, "Has Grandpa returned?"

"Young master, the old master is having tea in the main hall right now." The maid hesitated for a moment before reminding him, "Your father is also here."

Since the old man is back, his father will naturally have to come back too. Shen Jiazhou wasn't surprised. He said, "Bring the car over in half an hour."

The servant quickly agreed, and Shen Jiazhou then walked towards the main entrance of the hall.

Shen Jiazhou walked into the main hall and saw the old man sitting on the sofa with Shen Fang, his father, drinking tea and playing chess.

His arrival only made the two of them raise their eyelids slightly before they continued playing chess.

The butler came over and asked, "Young master, please take a look at tonight's menu. Is there anything else you need that I can have the kitchen add?"

Shen Jiazhou glanced at it and said, "Have the kitchen make a batch of osmanthus glutinous rice cake right now, pack it up for me, and I'll take it with me later."

Kids should like this. Let's go find Can Can after we finish chatting; the glutinous rice cake might still be warm.

He could already picture the little guy's eyes lighting up after he ate it.

The butler asked, "Aren't you having dinner at home later?"

"I won't eat it." Shen Jiazhou thought for a moment, then added, "Have the kitchen make a few more flavors."

Eating only one flavor can get boring, so making several flavors will allow Can Can to try more.

"You just got back, and you're already making arrangements to leave before you've even sat down?" Old Master Shen couldn't help but say, "Is this a hotel? You order food and then leave?"

Shen Jiazhou looked over, but Old Master Shen only turned slightly to the side and didn't look at him at all.

He walked over and sat down on the single sofa: "Grandpa."

Grandpa Shen put down the chess piece in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Dad, you won."

Old Master Shen snorted: "I see. How come you young people can't even beat an old man like me?"

Shen Jiazhou let out a slightly mocking chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Fang glared at him angrily: "Seeing you like this makes me angry."

Shen Jiazhou gave him a cold look: "You can gouge out his eyes."

Shen Fang's anger was rising rapidly. Just as he was about to speak, Old Master Shen, who had a headache, said, "You two, father and son, go outside and have a fight first. Come back in when you're done."

Shen Fang glanced at Old Master Shen, snorted, and held his tea without saying a word.

The butler served Shen Jiazhou a cup of tea, and Shen Jiazhou said, "Grandpa, I still have work to do. Let's talk quickly."

Old Master Shen was also getting a little angry: "Are you home or here to talk business? So now that I'm asking you to come home and have a meal with me, you're treating me like a client?"

Facing Old Master Shen, Shen Jiazhou toned down his temper somewhat: "It really is work."

Grandpa Shen snorted, not bothering to care whether he actually had work or not. He said, "Alright, you just got back from your business trip, I know you're busy. We can skip dinner today, and have a proper family dinner this weekend, and then bring your child over."

Shen Jiazhou picked up his teacup without speaking. Shen Fang, seeing his expression, became furious and retorted, "You're really something. Your child is so big, and we didn't know anything. Judging from the child's appearance, he must be at least three years old. How long are you going to keep this from us?"

Shen Jiazhou gave him a cold look: "Is there any need to say anything? My affairs are none of your business."

"Shen Jiazhou!" Shen Fang couldn't take it anymore. He stood up from the sofa: "Don't you need me to tell you what to do? I'm your father, why can't I say anything? You're having an affair and I can't even talk about it?!"

Shen Jiazhou put down his teacup, leaned back on the sofa, and lazily looked up at him: "When you had your son outside, you didn't even tell me."

"You!" Shen Fang was so angry that his face turned red.

"Enough!" Old Master Shen frowned. "Are you two ever going to stop?!"

He looked at Chen Fang: "What are you yelling about, you're a father? Sit down!"

Shen Fang took a deep breath and sat down with a somber face.

Grandpa Shen took a deep breath and looked at Shen Jiazhou: "You told us not to investigate before, and we didn't. We called you back today to make you explain what exactly happened! When did you get married? When did you have your child? Who is the woman? Do you know that this is disrespectful to the woman? And what do you take us elders for?"

Shen Jiazhou took a deep breath, looked at Old Master Shen, and said in a deep voice, "The child is not mine."

"You're raising someone else's child? Shen Jiazhou, when did you start doing charity?!" Shen Fang couldn't hold back any longer: "What kind of bewitching potion did that woman give you? Where do you put the Shen family's reputation?!"

Old Master Shen sensed something was amiss: "Not yours? But that child looks just like you..."

Shen Jiazhou ignored Shen Fang and looked at Old Master Shen, giving a soft "hmm": "He is Shen Jiachen's son."

The living room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Old Master Shen and Shen Fang exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Ah Chen's...son?
