Chapter 751 I'm Going to Starve Myself
Mr. Sheng disagreed, saying, "Even if you live with your uncle, you're still alone. You've hardly ever traveled far from home. Now you're going to live alone in a city. Won't that make your family worry?"
None of the three agreed, and Sheng Yao suddenly stood up. "So you all disagree no matter what I say, right?"
Mr. and Mrs. Sheng looked at each other, neither daring to say anything harsh.
After all, they had never rejected Sheng Yao in all her years.
Finally, it was Grandpa Sheng who stepped forward to state his position: "Yaoyao, it's not that we disagree, but this is no small matter. You're all alone in such a big city. If something really happens to you, what will your father and mother do? What will your grandfather do?"
Grandpa Sheng couldn't bear it either, but for Sheng Yao's sake, he had to be firm. "We can indulge you in anything else, but not this. You can't be willful."
Sheng Yao looked at the three of them, took several deep breaths, and was furious.
The Sheng family won't budge, so she can't go anywhere.
She gritted her teeth, "I don't care, I have to go to Chongqing. If you don't agree, I...I..."
She hesitated for a long time, but in the end she didn't say anything harsh. She turned around and ran upstairs in a huff.
Mrs. Sheng looked worried. "Dad, why don't we just agree to let her go? We can just arrange for a few more people to go with her. With her temper, she definitely won't listen."
"Whether she likes it or not, she has to listen. No matter how much trouble she causes in the capital, at least it's under the Sheng family's nose. But if she goes to Chongqing, what can that kid do to her if he really wants to? Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?"
Thinking about Shen Boyan's behavior during this period, Mr. Sheng said to Grandpa Sheng, "Although that child has not been in the Shen family for the past few years, he has not picked up any bad habits. He also runs his own company in Chongqing. Even if he came back this time, it was out of necessity. But he is still good to Yao Yao and has not done anything excessive."
"Dad, if Yao Yao insists on going, let her go."
When it comes to Sheng Yao, her father and mother are the most likely to soften their hearts and compromise.
But Old Master Sheng is different.
Although he doted on Sheng Yao, he did not indulge her in many things.
He wanted Sheng Yao to know that some things simply cannot be done.
This is why Sheng Yao was spoiled by everyone growing up, but didn't have a princess complex.
Grandpa Sheng slowly stood up, but did not budge. "I have made up my mind about this matter. No means no. Even if it means not letting Yao Yao be with that boy, it is fine, but we absolutely cannot let her act impulsively because of that boy."
Grandpa Sheng disagreed, and there was nothing Grandma Sheng and Father Sheng could do.
The two could only sigh and shake their heads helplessly.
After hiding in her room, Sheng Yao never came out.
The next morning, breakfast was ready, and a servant knocked on Sheng Yao's door.
"Miss, would you like to come downstairs for breakfast?"
After a few seconds of silence, Sheng Yao's indignant voice rang out.
"I won't eat! I'm going on a hunger strike! I'm going to starve myself to death!"
Her voice was loud enough that the three people in the living room could hear her clearly.
Mrs. Sheng was very worried. She said anything was fine, but not eating was not an option.
She looked at Old Master Sheng, "Dad..."
Old Master Sheng raised his hand, interrupting her.
This wasn't the first time Sheng Yao had acted this way; previously, Old Master Sheng would always soften his heart because he felt sorry for her.
However, none of those things were major issues, and they were all within the acceptable range for Old Master Sheng.
But this time, Old Master Sheng can no longer indulge her.
He knew very well that Sheng Yao was deliberately trying to soften his heart, just like the previous times.
After all, she knew very well that the Sheng family would never let her suffer any injustice.
But Sheng Yao didn't know that this time, Old Master Sheng was determined. He picked up his chopsticks and said to Sheng's father and mother, "Since Yao Yao isn't eating, then we'll eat."
Although Mr. and Mrs. Sheng were worried about Sheng Yao, they did not dare to oppose the old man's wishes.
After breakfast, Sheng's mother immediately instructed the servants to bring Sheng Yao's breakfast up.
She stood at the door of Sheng Yao's room and gently knocked.
"Yaoyao, it's Mommy. Can you eat first like me? Have you forgotten how you used to have stomach aches because you didn't like eating breakfast?"
Sheng Yao's muffled voice came from inside, "Then I might as well die from the pain, since none of you care about me anyway!"
Mrs. Sheng got anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about, child! How can we not care about you? Going to Yucheng is a big deal, and it's understandable that your grandfather is worried. Tell me, apart from this matter, from childhood to adulthood, what have you ever wanted that we've never agreed to?"
"But all I want to do right now is go to Chongqing!"
Sheng Yao knew it would be difficult to make Shen Boyan fall in love with her in a short period of time.
She didn't expect him to confess his feelings to her right away; that was simply unrealistic.
If the goal is to cultivate feelings, there's no point in simply forcing him to spend time alone with you.
Shen Boyan was like a robot devoid of any emotion whenever he was with her.
He was unhappy, and she looked unhappy too.
So, Sheng Yao wanted to do something for him.
Since he doesn't like the capital, she'll let him go back.
But ironically, this is something only she can do for him, and she still can't do it well.
Sheng Yao was furious.
Mother Sheng earnestly advised her, "Yaoyao, you're oversimplifying this matter. Your grandfather doesn't agree to you going to Chongqing not only because he's worried about your safety, but also because you're acting impulsively now for Shen Boyan and going to Chongqing. Will you do even more impulsive things for him in the future?"
If it really comes to that, no one in the Sheng family will be able to persuade them or change the situation.
When it comes to feelings, the worst thing is to act impulsively.
Sheng Yao fell silent.
But the door remained closed.
Sheng's mother stood at the door for a long time, and the breakfast got cold, but she still couldn't persuade Sheng Yao to come out.
Finally, he could only sigh, turn around, and leave.
When Mr. Sheng saw Mrs. Sheng coming downstairs, and the untouched breakfast being carried by the servants behind her, he thought, "Are you still angry?"
Mrs. Sheng sighed, "This child usually seems easy to talk to and doesn't take anything to heart, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn about this. No matter what I say, it's no use."
Mr. Sheng said, "After all, he's still young and hasn't experienced any setbacks. He's still angry right now, but he might understand once he calms down."
Sheng Yao has indeed calmed down.
But she couldn't figure it out; she told herself she couldn't compromise.
If she wants Shen Boyan to treat her better, this matter must be successful.
Grandpa Sheng did not soften his heart, and Sheng Yao did not give up. In fact, she went without food and drink for a whole day and night in order to get the Sheng family to compromise.
This made Mr. and Mrs. Sheng uneasy.
They wanted to discuss with Old Master Sheng whether they could pretend to agree first, so that Sheng Yao could at least get some food.
Of course, Old Master Sheng also felt sorry for Sheng Yao, but he also knew that once he gave in, this matter would have begun.
From now on, Sheng Yao will have no bottom line when it comes to Shen Boyan's affairs, and she will dare to do anything.
