Inside the magnificent villa of the Shen family in Beijing, everyone gathered together.
Old Shen sat in the head seat, without saying a word.
"Dad, everyone's here, let's get started."
"You're wrong about that, the Third Young Master hasn't arrived yet!"
"What are you waiting for? He's not even in the capital. What's there to wait for? I really don't understand why Third Young Master would leave the capital and go to that small place, Wucheng."
"It's no fun for the Third Young Master to come."
Ignoring everyone else, Old Shen looked past them all and toward the door.
A tall, slender man stood in the doorway. "Sorry I'm late."
"Come sit here with Grandpa."
Shen Xiuyan stood next to Old Master Shen, who looked at his grandson with a pained expression. "You seem to have lost weight. Are you doing well in Wucheng?"
"Good."
"I heard from a friend who came back from Wucheng that there's a miracle doctor in that remote corner of the city, with some strange name, Lianqiao? Have you heard of him, Third Young Master?"
"without."
"It seems he's not that famous; even the Third Young Master hasn't heard of him."
Ignoring what others were saying, Old Master Shen took Shen Xiuyan's hand and asked, "How many days will you stay before you leave this time?"
Shen Xiuyan smiled and shook his head, "No, I'll leave tonight."
"We're all exhausted from rushing around, why don't we stay overnight?"
Shen Xiuyan did not agree.
"Do you have something urgent that requires you to return to Wucheng?"
"Work."
Old Shen, "…………"
The Shen family members, "…………"
I've never heard of any amazing job in Wucheng that's better than the Shen family's!
Short-sighted!
Before leaving, Old Shen pulled Shen aside for a private talk with Shen Xiuyan.
Old Shen sighed, "You child, you always come in such a hurry, never staying even a day longer to spend with this old man."
“You know I don’t want to stay here.”
The family members were constantly fighting amongst themselves, and some even took advantage of Shen Xiuyan in private.
All it's for is the struggle for the next head of the family.
The head of a prominent family in the capital is not someone that just anyone can become.
Moreover, Old Master Shen's affection for Shen Xiuyan has surpassed that for his own children.
Many people are saying that Elder Shen will bypass his children and hand over the position of family head directly to Shen Xiuyan!
This is why everyone is wary of Shen Xiuyan.
"You know, Grandpa's getting old. If I don't come back today, there won't be a tomorrow. Why don't you go back to the capital sooner, learn how to take over the position of head of the family, and get married so Grandpa can hold his great-grandson! I think there are many beautiful ladies in the capital, and Grandpa will help you find one..."
"No, Grandpa, you know I have no interest in the position of family head, and... I have a girl I like." He wanted to tell his grandfather, who had doted on him since childhood, this news.
"Really...really..." Old Shen couldn't believe it!
Speaking of his grandson, he's already twenty-two years old, and his love life is still a blank slate. I've never heard of him getting close to any girl.
He was very worried at one point.
Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to say that he had a girl he liked!
"Who is the other person? How old are they? What facts are needed to bring them back to discuss marriage?"
"Grandpa, she's still young, still in school, and hasn't accepted my advances yet."
Old Shen's gaze towards Shen Xiuyan changed.
His grandson actually went and harmed a girl who was still in school?
Still not successful?
"Are you from Wucheng?"
Shen Xiuyan nodded.
Old Shen had an expression that said, "I've been there, I know."
He even had to go back to Wucheng for work; it seems he can't let go of that girl!
In short, it's good that you've figured it out!
