The Shen family lived in Beishan Villa, not far from Yajiang Villa. It was eight o'clock in the evening when Shen Nian first arrived.
At the door, Zhao Ma, the servant who had been taking care of my mother, paced back and forth anxiously.
"Miss, you're finally back. Miss Wanqing from the second family is here. She's looking for trouble with you as soon as she comes in. The old lady is furious."
"Where's my mom?"
Mother Zhao shook her head in a puzzled manner.
As soon as Shen Nianchu entered the room, he heard the old lady's voice as loud as a bell.
"What sin did the Shen family commit in their previous life that my son would marry a woman like you and give birth to such an unlucky daughter who killed her own brother at birth? Now you even dare to hit my Wanqing. Wanqing, don't cry, when she comes, I..."
"What else do you want now that I'm here?" Shen Nianchu said as he sat next to his mother Yu Wanhua and asked her if she was okay.
Yu Wanhua patted her hands and gave her a comforting look: "It's okay."
"Humph," Old Lady Shen snorted coldly.
"What could possibly happen to her if she stays at home all day doing nothing? I want to ask you, why did you hit Wanqing?"
"Of course it's because she deserves to be beaten!" Shen Nianchu looked at the crying woman opposite him and sneered.
"Chen Wanqing, you're so good at putting the blame on someone else. You still have the nerve to come here and cry? Why don't you tell me why I hit you? Hmm?"
Old Madam Shen caressed the slap marks on Shen Wanqing's face distressedly.
"It's okay, baby. Just tell me what's going on. Grandma will support you."
A teardrop as big as a bean fell from the woman's eye again.
"Grandma, it's my fault. Actually, it's because... it's because Brother Ziqian said he liked me and wanted to pursue me, which made my sister unhappy. But I didn't do it on purpose. It's a matter of feelings..."
"Explain clearly!" Shen Nianchu knocked on the coffee table with his backhand.
"Don't try to be evasive. I caught you in bed at Peninsula Manor. Do you want me to pull up the surveillance footage of you and that scumbag wrapped only in a bath towel?"
"Grandma... wuwuwu... I really... I..."
Old Madam Shen has lived for so many years and has experienced many ups and downs.
You can naturally understand the reason from a few words, but sometimes people are biased without regard for principles.
"Chen Nianchu! How can you have such a vicious heart?! How can you say such words? You are a girl yourself, how can you adjust the surveillance of your sister like that?"
There was a cold look in Shen Nianchu's eyes, "Grandma, wasn't it her who cheated on me with my boyfriend and made me a cuckold first?"
"How can being in love be considered cheating? I was originally worried about you being with the eldest young master of the Yu family. You're so arrogant and domineering, and you have bad luck. What if something bad happens to the Yu family and the Shen family is blamed? Wanqing and Yu Ziqian are a better match."
Yu Wanhua felt sorry for the child she gave birth to. She looked at the old lady unhappily and said, "Mom, don't say that about Nianchu. She's just a child. Back then, that child..."
"Shut up! You have no right to interrupt me while I'm teaching my grandson a lesson!"
Shen Nianchu slammed the table and stood up, "Enough! Stop bringing up old things. He's just a scumbag, but you treat me like I'm precious. Shen Wanqing, you can pick up trash as much as you want. If you disgust me again, next time it won't be just two slaps."
After saying that, he helped Yu Wanhua upstairs, completely ignoring the old lady's insults.
After closing the door, Yu Wanhua looked at her worriedly, "It's all my fault for being useless. I made you suffer."
Shen Nianchu took out the medicine from the drawer and handed it to his mother with ease: "No, it's just the same few words over and over again for so many years, I've become immune to it. And that Yu Ziqian, I didn't like him in the first place, so I gave him to Shen Wanqing."
"Don't like you dating him?"
"He kept coming to the crew to bother me, and it delayed my work. I had no choice but to agree. I originally wanted to break up with him in two days, but who knew that the rubbish Shen Wanqing would also snatch it up, which just saved me the trouble."
Yu Wanhua tapped her forehead and said, "I was saying my daughter's taste isn't that bad. How could she fall for that good-for-nothing playboy?"
"Of course. After all, I have to find someone more handsome than my dad, right?"
"You~ When you look at a man, don't just look at his face. Character is what's most important. Financial conditions should also be taken into consideration."
Shen Nianchu watched her mother finish taking the medicine, and then covered her with the quilt, "I know, with you and dad as role models, my vision won't be bad."
Yu Wanhua smiled, hiding the bitterness. "Go back early. Your dad will be back soon. Don't worry about me."
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be taking on a new role. I'll meet the director the day after tomorrow and go back to read the script in the evening."
"Don't just focus on work, take some time to rest..."
Shen Nianchu spoke a few more intimate words to Yu Wanhua before leaving.
When I returned to the hall, Shen Wanqing had already left, and Old Madam Shen was still sitting on the sofa with a stern face.
"You're really becoming more and more capable now. I can't believe it, but you're leaving now?"
"If I don't leave, am I going to stay here and argue with you?"
“…”
Shen Nianchu paused, "Grandma, I know you find me annoying, but I've already moved out. So there's no need to argue with Shen Wanqing about calling me here late at night, and don't take your anger out on my mom. She doesn't owe this family anything."
Ever since she could remember, she had never been liked by the old lady, so she also didn't like this grandmother and moved out long ago after she became independent.
If it weren't for her parents' love and her mother's unwillingness to leave her father, she really wouldn't want Yu Wanhua to stay here and suffer.
But when she was not around, the old lady was quite kind to her mother.
Old Madam Shen gave her a displeased look.
"How do you talk to me like that? Wanqing has been in poor health since she was a child. What's wrong with you, as her elder sister, giving in to her when she likes something?"
"Why should I give in? Just because I'm your older sister I have to give in? Does she consider me her older sister? Oh, she does. After all, she helped me clean up the trash."
"That's enough!" The old lady was so angry that she adjusted her breathing.
"I'm not unreasonable. You and Yu Ziqian weren't a good match. I found a new blind date for you. I called you here tonight to discuss this."
Shen Nianchu was flattered, "You can waste your time on me to find this? It can't be a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly who is older than my father, right?"
"You are my granddaughter after all! How could I find you someone that old? The man is 35 years old and successful in his career, more than enough for you. He is anxious to go abroad to discuss work, and would like to meet you tonight, at Xingyuan International."
Shen Nianchu's expression suddenly turned cold.
"What good intentions could he have by asking me out to a hotel so late at night? Do you think someone as young as 35 and as young as 23 is a good match for me? Is there a grandmother like you?"
"How could I possibly harm you? We're at the Xingyuan International coffee shop. Where did you think you were going?"
"No, I'm not in a hurry to get married. If you're in a hurry, go ahead and get married."
"How dare you! How could there be such a rebellious grandson like you!"
