Although Grandpa Shen said he would go downstairs immediately, he remained calm and composed, sitting in his study reading a book.
Old Master Bai was furious inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He sat calmly on the sofa, sipping his tea casually.
Liu Xu stood not far away, watering the artificial flowers with a watering can, looking extremely relaxed, which made Old Master Bai even angrier.
Liu Xu was ostensibly a butler, but in reality, he was Old Master Shen's sworn brother. No matter how dissatisfied Old Master Shen was, he could only watch helplessly.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Old Bai, I'm really sorry, something came up and I was delayed a bit."
Old Master Shen slowly came downstairs, and sat down in the main seat with a smile.
Old Master Bai paused in his teacup, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay, I understand."
I was only able to steal a half-day of leisure thanks to Zhenzhen and Zeyi's help in sharing the burden.
My children always worry about me and are filial to me, which should be a source of joy, but I never expected it to bring them trouble.
Old Master Bai put down his teacup, preparing to take the opportunity to reveal the Shen family's purpose, but Old Master Shen interrupted him with a smile.
"Zhenzhen and Zeyi are so obedient, unlike my two disobedient ones. Not only do they not help share the burden, but they also cause trouble everywhere."
Sigh, the kids are all grown up now, I can't control them anymore, I really can't control them anymore~
Old Master Shen sighed and waved to Old Master Bai.
"However, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Even if they've caused trouble, don't expect me to clean up their mess."
"By the way, what trouble did you say you caused Zhenzhen and the others?"
Old Master Bai: "..."
They're disobedient, unmanageable, and incapable of cleaning up their messes...
That old man has already said everything, what else is there for him to say!
I really wanted to smash the cup!
Looking at Old Master Bai's pale face, which resembled that of someone suffering from constipation, Old Master Shen inwardly burst into laughter.
Do you want to complain to him and put pressure on Nanxing?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Unfortunately, many things cannot be brought to light yet, and they still need to rely on the Lin and Bai families to find the Bi family's whereabouts.
Old Master Bai took several deep breaths before he finally calmed down and regained his composure.
"Old man Shen, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. Your second son's girlfriend hit my Zhenzhen. Just tell me how to resolve this!"
"Old Bai, I think it's best for kids to resolve their own issues."
Grandpa Shen glanced at Grandpa Bai and said, “I remember when we were young, we would often fight over a disagreement, but no matter who won or lost, we would never let the adults get involved.”
"If it were Zeyi and Nanxing fighting today, then I wouldn't say anything."
Ke Zhenzhen, a young girl, was beaten up in public by some wild girl who appeared out of nowhere...
If I don't stand up for her, how can she face people in the future?
Old Master Shen really wanted to retort, "Just continue being the way you were before. You can't become an animal just because you got beaten up!"
But this cannot be said openly.
He stroked his gray beard and said very seriously, "Then let her fight back!"
Old Master Bai was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
"I never lie," Old Master Shen nodded.
Old Master Bai gave him a deep look, and seeing that he looked serious and not joking, he believed him.
Since this old man has said so, then he won't hold back—
A hint of malice flashed in Old Master Bai's eyes; he hoped that he could also 'accidentally' take care of Shen Nanxing as well.
Old Master Shen picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
His idea was to let the Bai family girl fight back herself.
But what if this old man misunderstands him and uses the Bai family's power...?
Hehe~
As the next matriarch of the Shen family, An'an could naturally use the Shen family's power to retaliate.
One-on-one.
Many to many.
That's fair!
"Do you really want Nanxing to marry an orphan?"
After a long while, Old Master Bai started talking about something else, and his gaze towards Old Master Shen became more ambiguous.
"Whether or not I marry her is not up to me."
Old Master Shen lowered his head, looking forlorn, and said, "You know the relationship between Nanxing and us."
"I can't make decisions about him, and even if I could, he wouldn't listen to us."
Old Master Bai: "..."
I don't believe you for a second! You old geezer, you're a really bad guy!
"For a family like ours, it's still important to marry someone of equal social standing, especially in this perilous apocalypse."
Old Master Bai looked at Old Master Shen with a meaningful gaze, "My Zhenzhen has always been interested in going south..."
Just then, the sound of Qiao Huaxi and Shen Nanchuan talking could be heard outside.
"Brother Nanchuan, I had a really infuriating dream last night."
"An infuriating dream? Tell me about it, and I'll dream about avenging you tonight."
“Okay, I dreamt that a shameless woman was trying to interfere in our relationship, and she also had a shameless old man named Denxi who openly supported her interference.”
That's absolutely outrageous and infuriating!
"Don't be angry, I'll go into your dreams tonight and beat up that shameless old man Dennis."
"Mmm!"
Qiao Huaxi nodded repeatedly, took Shen Nanchuan's hand, and loudly gave him instructions.
"Brother Nanchuan, remember to wear boxing gloves, otherwise, you might not be able to break his face, which is as thick as a city wall!"
