Chapter 40: Signing a Document

Shen Shiren comforted his mother and sent someone to call Lu Yao and his wife.

He just doesn't believe that he can't deal with these two bastards!

Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong looked at each other, and the sister saw a smile in each other's eyes.

"Let's go. We can't keep father waiting for too long." Shen Yanrong said sarcastically.

Still without the two children.

This kind of occasion is the adults' home turf, and the children should wait for their parents' triumphant return in a safe place.

Thinking that they would soon be able to live a free and beautiful life, the two people who were originally very tired suddenly became full of energy.

The two of them did not delay and followed the person immediately. Seeing the smug smiles on the faces of Wang's aunt and niece, and Shen Shiren's angry expression, they felt relieved.

"Grandma, Father, is the meal ready?" Shen Yanrong spoke before anyone else could say anything. "Haohao and Yueyue are hungry."

Lu Yao smiled and followed suit, "These two children have been through a lot these past two days, but they've managed to hold on without even a cry of pain or tiredness. They're so sensible, and as parents, we're heartbroken and feel guilty."

Shen Yanrong patted the back of her hand: "Grandma and father love the younger generation and will not let the children go hungry."

"I know."

The two of them sang in unison, talking to themselves as if no one was around, successfully making the faces of the Shen family members present look as ugly as the bottom of the pot.

"Who gave you the face?" Old Lady Wang couldn't help but speak first. "All you did was eat for a day or two. How come you didn't choke to death?"

Old Mrs. Wang was in a good mood as she would soon be able to get rid of these two debt collectors. She had originally thought of forbearing to bother with this uneducated little girl, but she just had the ability to make people angry.

Lu Yao felt aggrieved: "Did we say something wrong?"

Shen Yanrong was also very surprised: "Aren't we a family?"

"Who said you two bastards are from the same family!" Old Lady Wang sneered, "The Shen family is not something that anyone can marry into."

Lu Yao burst out laughing. "Old lady, are you still dreaming?"

She looked around and saw a group of concubines and aunts working hard to keep the fire going. She said, "It looks like it will take a while. If everything is fine, let's go back and take care of the children and come back later."

Chen Yanrong also smiled at them and said, "Don't worry, we can eat some cakes to fill our stomachs first."

Shen Shiren: “…”

He slapped the cart hard, but it hurt his back. He shouted fiercely: "Stop right there!"

This is outrageous. He still has such an attitude in front of his father. It turns out that he is a member of the Rong family. He is just as annoying as ever!

Shen Yanrong stopped and turned back: "Father, do you have any other instructions? Please tell me."

Shen Shiren was filled with anger and was so frustrated by the other party's attitude that he could only frown and say displeasedly: "Look at what you have become now! Is this how I teach you every day?"

"I'm sorry," Shen Yanrong smiled apologetically, "Father's teachings were fifteen years ago, and I can no longer remember them."

“…”

Shen Shiren was choked again and lost his patience. He asked directly: "Have you been disobeying grandma and elders these days?"

Shen Yanrong was puzzled: "My son doesn't know."

Shen Shiren sneered: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the Shen family is down. Let me tell you, even if I am exiled, I am still your father!"

Shen Yanrong nodded: "You are right."

"Don't hang around in front of us anymore," Shen Shiren warned. "If you bring shame upon yourself, don't blame me, your father, for not thinking of the father-son relationship."

Shen Yanrong continued to nod: "You are right."

Shen Shiren: “…”

He felt like he was punching cotton, which made him feel powerless.

This thing doesn't respond, what should he say next?

Wang Yalan frowned slightly. Has her cousin changed his mind and doesn't want to sever ties with her?

She looked at Old Lady Wang, who had also come to her senses. "Boss, why are you still wasting time with this unfilial son? Are you going to wait until they piss me off to death?!"

"Mom, don't be angry. I will never let you suffer in vain," Shen Shiren said, looking at Shen Yanrong. "Thank goodness that your grandmother has doted on you since you were a child. Now you have grown up. You are such an unfilial son. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you still don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

Chen Yanrong sneered. This man was hypocritical, selfish, vicious and good at disguising himself. Even now, he still wanted to put the blame on them.

In this case, there is no need for them to continue to be hypocritical.

"Before you teach me a lesson, can you explain what's going on with the Rong family?" Shen Yanrong asked, "Your grandparents never treated you badly back then." On the contrary, this man's rapid rise to prominence was all thanks to their help, from the initial search for a teacher to the later court planning.

"..." Shen Shiren's eyes widened, "What do you know!"

Those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, living in luxury, were so high and mighty that a single meal could cost them several years' worth of expenses. They didn't have to do anything; whenever they wanted, someone would help them pick up food for them. Meanwhile, my mother, who had raised me and my second brother with great difficulty since we were young, had endured so much hardship and suffering, yet she couldn't even have a full meal all year round...

How could he not be jealous of all this?

God is so unfair.

"Selfish, hypocritical, and vicious. I really don't understand." Shen Yanrong's face was full of sarcasm. "If you feel that the Rong family has lost money, you shouldn't have tried to contact my mother in the first place."

He thought of that kind, gentle and quiet woman, and his nose felt a little sour.

Blinking his eyes, he said, "Do you think that since the Rong family is gone, my mother is gone, and I, who share their blood, am useless, no one will know about your dirty schemes?"

"Shut up!" Shen Shiren was furious, probably because he had said what he was thinking. "I'm your father, look at what you're doing!"

A son should not criticize his father's faults. This ungrateful person has fed his conscience to the dogs!

Stubborn and unrepentant, just like the Rong family!

"A son shouldn't blame his father, but that's because he's a human being." Shen Yanrong didn't take it seriously. He said calmly, "He framed your Yue family, who had done you a favor. He angered your first wife to death, promoted your concubine to the position of wife's wife, and abused his legitimate son. If I hadn't feigned madness and stupidity, I'd probably have died in an accident. With all these things going on, how can I be considered a father?"

"You, you!" Shen Shiren was furious. He stood up to teach this bastard a lesson, but he forgot about the injury on his hip and pulled the wound harder. This time, it was worse than before. He couldn't help but groan and his face turned paler.

"Father!"

"cousin!"

"son!"

Seeing this, Chen Yaoming, Wang Yalan and Old Lady Wang rushed forward nervously, some checking the wounds, some patting the back to help, some comforting the others, as if the other person was about to ascend to heaven in the next moment.

Chen Yanrong's expression didn't change at all, but he continued, "Think about this carefully before you teach this unfilial son of mine a lesson."

"Shut up, shut up!" Old Lady Wang roared, "You are unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous thing. My Shen family does not have descendants like you."

"Disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous?" Lu Yao immediately refused to accept the offer. "Are you talking about the Shen family?"

Her man was not one to be scolded or slandered for anything: "I'm afraid you have all forgotten why the Shen family was confiscated and exiled! All this is because of your greed, viciousness and selfishness."

"If possible, I would like to have nothing to do with you." Shen Yanrong said coldly.

"Exactly. You really think you're so popular," Lu Yao said, glancing at the commoners who were busy working nearby but kept glancing over at her. "We've all been exiled. No one is more noble than anyone else!"

They've said so much, why haven't they gotten to the point yet? Cut off ties immediately!

Lu Yao deliberately raised the volume of her last sentence, so the busy people could hear it.

They said it was impossible not to be shocked by these words.

Yes, they were all exiled, so who is nobler than who?

"Aren't you afraid of being criticized?" Wang Yalan looked at the two of them with a complicated expression. "No matter what, we are your elders."

"Don't," Lu Yao interrupted her, "I still say that, we can't afford elders like you, and we don't dare to accept them."

Wang Yalan's eyes lit up: "You don't want to admit that you are a member of the Shen family?"

"I wanted to, but did you give me a chance?" Lu Yao spread her hands. "Confiscating money, driving me to the countryside, murdering my child, framing me... which of these things would a family member do?"

Shen Shiren and the others didn't expect this woman to dare to say anything. They immediately gritted their teeth and said, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Yao was puzzled. "Didn't you ask us to come here? Why are you asking us?" She spread her hands. "We should be the ones asking this."

So, can you please be straightforward and just get to the point instead of wasting time and talking about irrelevant things?

Lu Yao really didn't give them any face at all.

Seeing her son's silence, Old Lady Wang said bluntly, "We are severing ties with your family. From now on, we will be strangers. Without the protection of your family, you won't be able to enter the ancestral tomb after you die. Just wait to become a lonely ghost!"

Whenever she thought of that scene, Mrs. Wang felt extremely happy.

Lu Yao was delighted. Oh my god, after such a long drama, we finally got to the point.

She looked like she was really scared of me, but it was actually funny. It was such a late hour but she was still acting like a wealthy family, not even a bit embarrassed.

Shen Yanrong also breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope you can do what you said."

He was really afraid that these people would continue to drag it on.

Old Lady Wang didn't get the desired effect. She thought the two of them didn't hear clearly, so she spoke again: "I tell you, I want your family to sever ties. From now on, you are no longer a member of the Shen family. You have no father or elders, and no family support."

Shen Yanrong patiently explained: "I am young and have good hearing. I understand."

"Aren't you nervous or scared?"

Old Lady Wang and the others were all amazed.

Chen Yanrong ignored them and looked at Lu Yao: "Sister Yao, we can't come here to eat for free in the future. Will you blame me?"

"How could that be?" Lu Yao laughed, "It's not like we don't have anything to eat."

Shen Yanrong squeezed her hand, smiled at her, and said to Shen Shiren, "Since you've made up your mind, let's write the agreement."

It is only valid when it is signed in black and white.

Shen Shiren's expression was complicated: "Have you really decided? Don't you regret it?"

He really didn't want to see this person, or even have anything to do with him, but when it came to this point, some inexplicable emotions were fluctuating.

Old Lady Wang didn't care about that. She poked her precious grandson and said, "Yao Ming, quickly help your father write a document for them to sign."

I'm finally going to break up with this bastard, but I can't let him down at this last step.

Shen Yaoming was a little embarrassed: "Grandma, we are in the wilderness now, and we don't have any writing brush, ink, paper, or inkstone."

Old Mrs. Wang frowned. What should she do?

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded from the side.

"Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone? I have them here."
