Chapter 263: Granddaughter-in-law turns into a butterfly and flies away

"After such a big thing happened, Zi Yue chose to leave without saying goodbye, which means she has no hope in him anymore." Shen Shi'an thought silently in his heart, feeling very painful.

"Second Young Master? Are you okay?" Seeing that Shen Shian's face turned very bad, the servant asked with concern.

Shen Shi'an came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and then strode into Master Shen's villa.

Ningjing got up at around eight o'clock, and immediately went to pay her respects to Master Shen. Then she heard the news that Ziyue had left. Master Shen talked to her about Shen Shi'an for the whole morning.

She also didn't understand her son. Zi Yue left, but her son was still sleeping soundly.

"Grandpa, Mom, good morning." Shen Shi'an blurted out.

Master Shen sneered, "It's almost twelve o'clock, who wants to say good morning to you?"

Shen Shi'an lowered his head silently.

Master Shen's face was filled with anger. "The guard said you drove Yueyue out late last night and came back not long after. Then, early this morning, Yueyue left on her own. It's nearly a two-hour walk from here to the foot of the mountain, and you just let your girlfriend walk down the mountain like that? You have no conscience. You're so young, and all you do every day is sleep. Sleep, sleep, sleep, you big head ghost."

Ning Jing looked at her son who was receiving training with his head down, and she didn't feel sorry for him. It was really hard to understand why her son, who was so old, didn't know how to feel sorry for his girlfriend.

"Dad, you take a rest first. I'll come and ask Shi'an." Ning Jing comforted her father and looked at her son. "Shi'an, why did you suddenly drive Yueyue down the mountain last night? Did Yueyue ask you to take her down the mountain?"

"No. Mom, this is my fault, please don't ask." He didn't have the courage to tell her about what happened last night, nor did he dare to tell his family without Zi Yue's consent.

Seeing his lifeless look, Master Shen became angry. "I finally managed to get this girl to stay with me for one night, and you don't know how to behave properly. You were acting pretty well yesterday, but why did you change at night?"

"No, my feelings for Ziyue haven't changed." Shen Shian expressed his feelings for Ziyue so directly in front of the old man for the first time. Ignoring the old man's surprise, he said solemnly, "Ziyue is an adult, a girl with independent thoughts. She is free to do whatever she wants. I guess she walked down the mountain because she remembered Grandpa's teachings. That's why she didn't ask the servants to prepare a car."

"Then why didn't you remember my advice last night? The sun came out for a while today, and the road isn't very wet. But last night it was very wet, dripping wet. And you drove out in the middle of the night? Tell me, where were you going?"

"To the hospital."

Master Shen and Ning Jing sat up straight and said in unison, "Why are we going to the hospital? Is something wrong with Yueyue?"

"She's not feeling well." This was the only explanation Shen Shi'an could give. Otherwise, if he didn't come up with a reason for his behavior last night, his grandfather and mother would probably not let him go. They would dig deep and investigate secretly, and perhaps they would find clues, just like he had deleted all the surveillance footage at home last night, but still missed the security guard, who was discovered driving out late at night.

"Why didn't you say anything when you were not feeling well? You were sleeping so soundly and let her go down the mountain alone." Master Shen became even angrier.

Ning Jing was also speechless towards her son, but scolding him wasn't the solution. The most important thing now was, "Shi'an, go find Yueyue right now and take her to see a doctor. Yueyue texted me and your grandfather at 7:30 saying she was going down the mountain to visit her best friend. We called her later, but her phone was turned off."

"My phone must be out of battery. Ziyue should be at Genting Highlands right now. Mom, why don't I go over there first? Grandpa's here..."

"Don't worry about me, go find Yueyue right away. You're her boyfriend, but you're not as reliable as her best friend. What kind of man are you?"

Shen Shi'an had no way to refute it. He sighed secretly and left without eating breakfast or lunch. He drove directly down the mountain.

After her son left, Ning Jing said to Master Shen, "I always feel that Shi An is worried. I wonder what happened between him and Yueyue last night. I also don't think Yueyue would go down the mountain without waiting for us to get up for no reason."

Master Shen nodded. "If even you think so, then they must be hiding something from us. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the surveillance cameras at home were deleted last night. Only the eldest and second sons in the family have the ability to do that."

Ning Jing was very worried. "That must have been deleted by Shi An. My eldest nephew and his wife didn't come home last night. They stayed in a hotel after the dinner."

"Oh! I'm a little sad. I feel like my granddaughter-in-law is going to turn into a butterfly and fly away." Master Shen had a bitter face and didn't want to talk to anyone.

"Dad, it's already noon, and Shi'an hasn't come to greet you yet? This is outrageous."

Liang Leifang appeared after lunch, with an expression on his face as if he was standing up for Master Shen.

Ning Jing, who hadn't forgotten what Liang Leifang had said to Yueyue yesterday, retorted, "Shi'an has already said goodbye to his father and left. But why is Shihao nowhere to be seen? Isn't he home?"

"How can Shihao and Shian be the same? Shihao has been working overtime on business recently and has lost a lot of weight. It's time for him to catch up on his sleep. Unlike you, Shian, who is just an employee and doesn't have to worry about being a boss."

Ningjing pursed her lips and clenched her hands quietly.

Master Shen glanced at Liang Leifang and sneered, "Is his company still going bankrupt?"

Liang Leifang was dissatisfied, "Dad, how can you say that? Shi Hao is an outstanding young man who wants to start from scratch. Isn't he better than Shi An, who is obviously a rich man's son but runs away to work for someone else's company?"

Master Shen: "When the Shen Group wanted to do business with the Fuhuang Group, Shi Xing was able to use Shi An as a middleman to reach a cooperation. But could Shi Hao do that? He couldn't even get Fu Shangbei's phone number."

"This, this big company isn't just the Fuhuang Group, there are others..."

"Fuhuang Group is the largest company in Jinghai. Even if you contact hundreds of small companies, it won't be as good as contacting Fuhuang Group."

Liang Lei's heart was broken by Master Shen, but she didn't think her son was incompetent. She just felt that Master Shen was biased and always stood on the side of the third wife in everything.

Liang Leifang's mentality is distorted. She must help Shihao catch up with Xu Ziyue and deal a heavy blow to Ning Jing and Shen Shian, the mother and son.

"Oh, Dad, Miss Xu is Shi Hao's ex-girlfriend. You know that. It's inappropriate for Shi An to pursue her again because it would be so embarrassing if it got out. Two brothers having the same woman would be laughed at. Miss Xu left early this morning. I don't think she likes Shi An very much either."

Now it was Ning Jing's turn to be hurt. She glanced at Liang Leifang with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Didn't you dislike Zi Yue? Why have you changed your mind now?"

Liang Leifang smiled slightly: "When did I say that I don't like her? She is my son's ex-girlfriend and his first love. She can't forget Shi Hao so much. How can I, as a mother-in-law, bear to break them up?"
