Chapter 197 She Has No Martial Morality

Shen Yan's father carefully examined the old man's expression.

She chuckled softly: "Alright, then let's go inside and have a chat."

Shen Yan's father glanced at Zhou Ye before leaving and said, "Little girl, come in with us too."

Grandpa's eyes flickered inexplicably, and he said to Zhou Ye, "Girl, come in with Grandpa."

Xie Jianshe's expression changed slightly. He wanted to follow behind, but was stopped by Shen Yan's father late at night.

“Jianshe, please don’t come in yet. I need to have a chat with Xiaoye’s grandfather. Yanzi will come in with me too, so she can apologize to Xiaoye together. You know, Yanzi is a proud child. If you come in with me, he probably won’t be able to apologize properly.”

Zhou knew that the situation had changed, but he was not panicked; he just smiled faintly.

He said, "Just listen to your uncle. We'll be out in a bit, don't worry!"

Xie Jianshe pursed his lips, a displeased expression on his face. However, he still respected Zhou Ye's idea.

He nodded but did not continue walking.

Shen Yan and her father, Zhou Ye and her grandfather.

They went inside together.

Wang Guihua stood outside the door, somewhat worried. She looked at Xie Jianshe with a hint of displeasure: "Jianshe, what exactly is your relationship with that Yanzi?"

We absolutely must not let Xiao Ye suffer any injustice in this matter.

If you really have no feelings for that swallow, then make it clear. Don't let Xiao Ye misunderstand, and don't let Grandpa misunderstand.

“I know you were comrades-in-arms before. Your feelings may be different. But I don’t think Shen Yan’s father’s purpose in coming here this time is pure.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Jianshe's expression darkened even further.

"Mom, don't say anything now, let's see later!"

That's what they said, but in Xie Jianshe's heart, he had already practically sentenced Shen Yan to death.

If Shen Yan's brother hadn't been his comrade-in-arms, he would never have given Shen Yan any extra care.

Inside the room, Zhou Ye looked at Shen Yan calmly. Shen Yan glanced at her father, then turned her head and pursed her lips.

He bowed deeply to Zhou Ye at a 90-degree angle. Then he said respectfully, "I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault before. I sincerely apologize to you today."

"I hope you can forgive me. Jianshe and I are just like brother and sister. I hope you don't misunderstand our relationship. Your sister-in-law really considers you family. I hope we can be friends and family in the future."

"I was ignorant before, please forgive me this once, you are a magnanimous person?"

"Sister-in-law, I brought some rare little items with me. If you like them, I'll give them all to you as a gift to apologize."

After she finished speaking, she glanced timidly at her father.

Shen Yan's father seemed very satisfied with his daughter's performance. He nodded to her.

Then she said to her grandfather, "I'm so sorry. I made you laugh before. Yanzi really didn't mean anything by it. It's just that she and Jianshe had a very good relationship before, and everyone thought she would marry Jianshe in the future."

Ah, of course, that's what I thought too, haha.

But now that Jianshe is married, Yanzi will be his younger sister from now on. Don't worry, I will absolutely not let Yanzi ruin Jianshe's relationship.

Yes, there's something else. I heard from Yanzi that you're Xiao Ye's grandfather. And those two children are Xiao Ye's younger brother and sister.

Now that we're all family!

If you encounter any difficulties, please let us know, and we will be happy to help!

Grandpa smiled faintly and said, "You're a junior, so I won't say much more. Xiao is also my granddaughter. Now that she's married to Jianshe, I hope her life will be peaceful and stable."

As you just said, since you're the younger sister, you should do your job well.

I don't care what happened in the past!

Xiao Ye doesn't care!

What we care about is the present and the future!

Shen Yan's father looked rather grim. He didn't know Zhou Weiren's true identity, but he could tell that the person in front of him was definitely not simple.

His words did not seem to threaten Zhou Weiren, nor did they seem to make Zhou Ye, who was beside him, feel any sense of threat.

He thought to himself: peaceful and stable?

Xie Jianshe was originally my ideal son-in-law. It's just that my daughter didn't win Xie Jianshe's favor. I originally thought that with more time, Xie Jianshe might change his mind about my daughter. Plus, considering my son, Xie Jianshe and my daughter might actually have a good future together.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ye appeared out of nowhere. Upon closer inspection, Zhou Ye's appearance surpassed his daughter's, and he seemed to be more intelligent as well. From any perspective, his daughter seemed to be at a disadvantage, which caused him a severe sense of frustration.

But his son was gone. His daughter was his only remaining hope, and he would never let her suffer any loss or injustice. Therefore, if his daughter truly wanted Xie Jianshe and this marriage, he would spare no effort to destroy Xie Jianshe's original marriage!

Shen Yan's father looked at Zhou Weiren with a smile and said, "It's fate that we met today, sir."

But I was still wondering what kind of person Xie Jianshe could possibly like. After all, my daughter had been pursuing Jianshe for a long time, but still hadn't won his favor.

Hahaha……

Today I've truly witnessed what extraordinary your little granddaughter is like!

The people around waved their hands and said with a smile, "They all think their own children are the best. My granddaughter is not only beautiful, but also has a very good personality."

Just like the conflict that happened at the supply and marketing cooperative before, you didn't mention it to us at all when you came back. If your little girl hadn't brought it up, we probably would never have known in our lives. Although our daughter is young, she is very sensible.

Since your youngest daughter apologized to our Xiaoye today, I, as her grandfather, will forgive her on her behalf. That's my hope.

Your daughter should be more mindful of her actions in the future. After all, Jianshe is a married person, and even if she is his younger sister, she should still act like one.

You seem to be a man of status and refinement; perhaps you shouldn't spoil your daughter too much in the future.

Zhou Weiren both praised Zhou Ye and belittled Shen Yan, but on the surface, he did not blame her.

Even so, Shen Yan and her father's expressions changed.

Shen Yan's father did not want to make a big deal out of it, nor did he want Mr. Xie to have any dissatisfaction with him or his daughter.

He thought that once he entered the house, he would test the waters and knock on the door a few more times, and then the matter would be over!

Zhou Ye and her grandfather know how capable she is, so they'll probably back down, right? Daring to steal your daughter's boyfriend? Don't they want to live?

His long-standing high position had instilled in him an air of arrogance. His expression changed, suddenly hardening.

He got up and patted off non-existent dust from his body.

He glanced at Zhou Ye and said to those around him again, "As the ancients said, one who relies on his looks cannot last long."

Is the old man proud of his granddaughter's exceptional beauty?

First, my daughter works at the Public Security Bureau. Although her position is not high, her job is stable.

They share a common language with construction.

I don't know how Jianshe could possibly be interested in your granddaughter. But I can see it too. Your whole family is being supported by Jianshe. Don't you have any self-respect? You're an old man, you've lived so many years. Do you really expect to be supported by a granddaughter?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that idiot playing in the dirt in the yard should be considered an adult. Not only do you have your son-in-law supporting your whole family, but you're even supporting someone who might be your lover?" Shen Yan's father spoke each word as sharp as ice without any mercy!

Shen Yan, standing beside him, also wore a mocking smile.

She saw Zhou Ye and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The words that came out were as cold as ice...

"Zhou Ye, I'm apologizing to you because Jianshe cares, so I have to apologize to you."

I won't lie to Jianshe-ge; an apology is an apology. But you're the one who should get lost. You don't deserve Jianshe-ge at all, I don't care where you're from. Even if you're from Beijing, so what?

You say you won't steal my man, but what you've done isn't stealing him from me? If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now. First, I've apologized; second, you've accepted the gift, so you should get out now.

Zhou Ye scoffed. Zhou Weiren, on the other hand, looked utterly humiliated. He couldn't bear to see his granddaughter wronged, nor could he bear to see her being insulted.

His face suddenly turned cold...

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhou patted his grandfather, not wanting him to get angry for no reason. He then turned and looked seriously at Shen Yan's father.

He said, "Sir, I originally thought your daughter and Xie Jianshe were colleagues and comrades-in-arms. Why is she like this?"

I was surprised before, but now I have the answer. Like father, like son; if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.

Every word Zhou Ye said was deeply etched into Shen Yan's father's heart. His face was full of anger, and he lowered his voice, not wanting anyone outside to hear.

"Young lady, I'll spare your life because you're still young."

Xie Jiansheng is the man my daughter has her eye on, I can tell you that clearly. I'm here today to support my daughter.

The apology was fake, the gift was fake. Their real intention was to kidnap him!

You and Xie Jianshe initiated the divorce. Then I will give you some money so you can leave with your family and live a good life. If you don't agree, I will let you know what the consequences will be. I will let you know what regret is.

Zhou Weiren was behind him, saying nothing, but fiddling with a small box that Zhou Ye had handed him when he entered.

He looked at Shen Yan and her father with a face full of mockery.

He felt sorry for his granddaughter and also regretted his actions. He had initially chosen Xie Jianshe because of his clean background, which was why he had forced his granddaughter to marry him! He hadn't expected this unexpected turn of events.

Now, besides feeling sorry for Zhou Ye, I also feel a bit guilty. I don't know how to describe it.

Since his granddaughter wouldn't let him speak, he decided to remain silent. Looking at his granddaughter, who had grown up completely, Zhou Weiren was filled with pride.

Now the search for her son and daughter-in-law has been completely handed over to her granddaughter. She's old now and doesn't want to worry about it anymore, so she doesn't want to trouble her granddaughter.

He looked closely at the object in his hand; it seemed somewhat familiar.

Huh? Isn't this...?

A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

My granddaughter is much more lively than before, and it seems that in addition to being kind, she has also developed a little bit of mischief.

That would be wonderful. Shen Yan and her father were still there, making threatening remarks and saying some inexplicable things. Zhou Ye would occasionally retort, seemingly not caring much, but after a while, it was clear that Xiao was also losing patience.

It seems they've said everything they needed to say.

He saw a smile appear on Xiao Ye's lips. She even gave him a wink, and the people around her promptly pressed down on her.

"Shut up!"

Zhou Ye suddenly changed her approach!

Zhou Ye's sharp shout startled Shen Yan and his father.

They didn't know why Zhou Yiye had suddenly changed his attitude. Just a short while ago, they thought they had persuaded Zhou Yiye, and even made him feel guilty, annoyed, and ashamed, truly realizing that he was not worthy of Xie Jianshe at all.

They thought they were about to succeed.

Filled with joy and pride, she was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Ye.

However, what they didn't expect was that what would break them even more was yet to come.

Zhou Ye looked at them coldly, a contemptuous smile appearing on his lips. "Uncle, from the moment you stepped through the door, I knew your apology wasn't sincere."

Judging from his attire and appearance, I initially thought my uncle was a reasonable and respectable person. But I never imagined he was a hypocrite.

Uncle, you can't even educate your own daughter, yet you seem to enjoy lecturing others. Since you love educating people so much, why don't you become a teacher?

Some of the things my uncle and his daughter have done are truly incomprehensible to me. Are your skin made of the Great Wall? Sigh, some people are just like that; they're like maggots themselves, yet they think the whole world is a giant pool.

Eat less salt, you seem to have too much free time. Let me tell you definitively, if you really like Xie Jianshe, then you should go for it yourself.

What you can take is yours, don't try to disgust me. And you, Shen Yan. Your family's household registration book, apart from your hero brother, is full of animals, not a single human.

A rotten person is a rotten person, yet they insist on pretending to be a good person and coming to apologize. Do you really think no one can see through you?

Right now, I have no interest in listening to your nagging, and I hope you won't bother me again in the future.

Otherwise, you'll be met with some rather unpleasant words!

In his last sentence, Xie Jianshe was willing to support our whole family! Even the Xie family was willing!

Who do you think you are to order things!

Finally, I'll leave you with this: "Get out!"

Shen Yan's father looked grim, pointing at Zhou Ye but unable to speak for a long time.

Then he looked at Zhou Weiren and said, "Is this how you raise your granddaughter?"

Zhou Weiren looked at Shen Yan's father blankly: "What, do you have a problem with this? I think my granddaughter is quite good. Wasn't she quite enthusiastic about cursing? She didn't lose!"

Enraged, Shen Yan's father pointed at Zhou Weiren, too angry to utter a single word for a long time: "You...you...you..."

Zhou also snorted: "Grandpa, let's go! I don't want to waste my breath on an idiot!"

"Okay! I don't want to see that ugly monster!"

The grandfather and grandson pushed open the door and came out!

Xie Jianshe, pale-faced, rushed over and grabbed Zhou Ye, asking, "You weren't wronged, were you?"

Zhou was very unhappy about this inexplicable disaster.

He rolled his eyes at Xie Jianshe, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to his grandfather.

Zhou Weiren didn't stand on ceremony. He took the water and drank a couple of sips, but suddenly a crying sound came from inside the room.

Shen Yan ran out of the house. She grabbed Xie Jianshe's sleeve and started crying. She cried and complained.

“Brother Jianshe, I’m really here to apologize today. As you can see, I bought a new dress, new pastries, and even chocolate.”

These are all novel things.

I think my sister-in-law will definitely like it.

I've come to apologize so sincerely, why won't my sister-in-law forgive me?

I even bowed and apologized inside the house. Why won't my sister-in-law let me go? Even my father apologized on my behalf. Tell me, what do I have to do to get her to forgive me?

I really only see you as my brother. Shen Yan's father, his face dark and bruised, also came out of the house.

He glanced at Xie Jianshe and said with a displeased look, "Jianshe, I originally thought you had sharp eyes."

I never expected to find such a formidable wife. Yanzi and I apologized to her in person, but she wouldn't let it go and told us to get out?

Don't you want to give us an explanation?

Xie Jianshe's first instinct was to deny it. He absolutely refused to believe that Xiao was such a person, nor did he believe that his grandfather was such a person.

But deep down, he didn't want to believe his uncle was that kind of person. Shen Yan had a childish temper, but his uncle had always been meticulous and reasonable. How could he say such a thing?

He looked at Zhou Ye with a puzzled expression.

This glance only fueled Shen Yan's father's anger. He demanded sharply, "Jianshe, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?"

Xie Jianshe was about to speak when Zhou Ye took the box from his grandfather's hand and waved it...

He smiled and said, "Uncle and Miss Yanzi are really good at apologizing. Why don't we hear what you have to say for yourselves?"

Zhou Ye's expression was playful and adorable. Wang Guihua, who had been worried, suddenly felt relieved when she saw Zhou Ye's expression.

Well, my daughter-in-law shouldn't suffer any losses; my little one is just as formidable. If anyone bullies her, she'll definitely retaliate.

But that swallow is no good person. Her father doesn't seem like a good person either. Even though we were small and got bullied back, we still suffered injustice. Humph, let's see if you'll have any food next time you come!

When you come back next time, you'll be starving!

Eat your shit! You've wasted all my good food!

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan's father noticed the box in Zhou Ye's hand.

His eyes widened slightly...

This, this could be... He dared not think about it.

The possibility in his heart might soon become a reality. He was terrified; he absolutely could not let Xie Jianshe see the real him.

He swallowed hard and gave Shen Yan a wink. Shen Yan had never seen it before and, of course, didn't know what it was; she thought Zhou was just being mysterious.

She glared fiercely at Zhou Ye. On the surface, she still looked aggrieved, and said to Xie Jianshe, "Brother Jianshe, you promised me that my brother would always take care of me."

She will also take care of my father and treat us as family.

You really don't believe me? We just sincerely apologized to your sister-in-law, but she wouldn't forgive us, not even... not even...

She wiped her eyes, feeling wronged, and said, "Grandpa also said some hurtful things. He completely sided with my sister-in-law. I know that Grandpa is my sister-in-law's grandfather, and he would definitely speak up for her, but I didn't expect them to insult me."

I told him that my brother and you were comrades-in-arms, which is why you took care of me and treated me like your own sister!

But they actually said that I, whose brother died, am bad luck! A nemesis! I don't deserve to be friends with them at all!

After saying this, she glanced at Xie Jianshe!

I noticed that Xie Jianshe's fists were clenched, and he seemed very angry.

A hint of smugness flashed through Shen Yan's mind.

He thought to himself, "Zhou Ye, just you wait, your good days are over!"

Even if you marry Jianshe, he won't love you. Even if he does now, you'll soon divorce. My brother was Jianshe's comrade-in-arms. He died protecting him!

Throughout my life, I have always been Jianshe Ge's Achilles' heel, and I will also become Jianshe Ge's Achilles' heel.

So you'll be getting a divorce soon, don't be smug!

She thought fiercely to herself... and bit her lip, letting herself feel the pain.

His voice became even more choked up.

Zhou Ye tightened his grip on Xie Jianshe's hand, glanced at him, and said nothing more.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement, because Xie Jianshe didn't immediately shake me off.

But... he raised an eyebrow, "Whatever!"

She never truly wanted to marry Xie Jianshe. Her marriage was only due to her grandfather's pressure; it was a relationship of exploitation.

Zhou felt a little uncomfortable, but he simply ignored it and didn't take it to heart!

What does love matter? All I want in this life is for my family to be together and safe.

Grandpa no longer cares about my parents, so I don't need to go through this forced marriage.

Wang Guihua happened to see this expression, and she became anxious.

She glared at Xie Jianshe and said, "Xie Jianshe, you're a married man, what are you standing there for?"

Xie Jianshe felt a jolt and quickly shook off Shen Yan's hand!

He said, "Stop saying these nonsensical things. I did treat you like a little sister before, but if you can't even do what a little sister should do, then I'm sorry. I can also not keep the promise I made to your brother."

Shen Yan was stunned. She found it unbelievable; Jianshe was definitely a man of his word. Would he really break his promise for a woman? Would he really betray his own brother? Her hatred for Zhou Ye deepened even further.

Shen Yan's father sighed helplessly.

Since my daughter genuinely likes it, it's worth it even if it means losing face!

"Science and Construction, as your uncle, I'll just have to swallow my pride..."

Suddenly, a series of familiar voices came from beside Zhou Ye...

Zhou Ye, I apologize to you because Jianshe cares, so I have to apologize to you.

...But you're the one who should get lost; you're not worthy of Brother Jianshe at all...

If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now. First, I've apologized; second, you've accepted the gift, so you should leave now.

Shen Yan's face turned pale!

Looking at Zhou Ye in disbelief...

She...she actually has a tape recorder?

She recorded it?

She... has no sense of martial ethics!
