Shen Jiaojiao said anxiously, "But my second brother is not wearing a coat. It's so cold outside. What if he catches a cold?"

Shen Zhenhua was in a bad mood today. He didn't even know what the bastard was doing today.

He said in a cold voice, "He deserves to be frozen to death. He is such an adult, but he still runs away from home. Aren't you ashamed?

You are not allowed to go look for him. I want to see what tricks he can come up with.

If you have the guts, don’t come back.”

Shen Zhenhua's face was clouded with gloom, but when he looked at Shen Jiaojiao, his expression immediately changed and he became gentle and kind, "Jiaojiao, go back to sleep quickly. You are pregnant now and can't catch a cold."

After Shen Zhenhua finished speaking, he went downstairs with his hands on his shoulders.

The moment he turned around, his face began to cloud over again.

Grandma Shen consoled him, "I'll go and persuade the old man, don't worry."

Father Shen also went downstairs at this time and said, "I'll go see where Tongwen is."

After a while, Mr. Shen came back.

Shen Jiaojiao asked anxiously, "Dad, where is my second brother?"

"He drove out and didn't catch up."

Father Shen added, "Don't worry, my dear. Since he still knows how to drive, he will definitely come back. He's a grown man, nothing will happen to him. Go to bed quickly!"

Although she knew nothing would happen, Shen Jiaojiao was still very worried.

Shen Tongwen's mood was obviously not right just now. Did he encounter some difficulties?

Shen Jiaojiao is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

But she couldn't go out.

After thinking for a while, she finally looked at Mother Shen pitifully, "Mom, I want to sleep with Xu Mo tonight."

Mother Shen: "...Okay, then you guys should go to bed early."

After getting consent, Shen Jiaojiao took Xu Mo back to the room.

"Xu Mo, go out and help me find my second brother. I want to make sure he is safe."

Xu Mo can use the space, so Shen Jiaojiao doesn't worry that anything might happen to him.

The most important thing now is to make sure Shen Tongwen is safe and not to do anything stupid.

Xu Mo nodded. "I would have gone even if you hadn't told me. Then go to bed and rest. I'm leaving."

"Well, put on more clothes, it's cold outside."

"good."

After Xu Mo left, Shen Jiaojiao went to bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Here, Grandma Shen advised Grandpa Shen earnestly.

"Do you know why the child got so angry today? It's because you are too strong. The children are grown up now and care about their reputation. Besides, Tongwen is getting married soon. You still scold him at every turn like before. He must be uncomfortable.

Zhenhua, you are old now, so stop interfering in the children's affairs. If they still act like mice seeing a cat when they see you, the atmosphere at home will be too depressing.

Look, since Jiaojiao came back recently, the atmosphere in our house has become lively, right? You smile more often, too. Isn't that great?

It’s totally different from before. Even when the three grandchildren were at home, there was no noise at all. It was quiet and deserted, without any breath of life.

I don’t like that kind of day anyway.”

Old Master Shen was speechless. "I have always educated those three boys in this way. Why can't they bear it now? Have you ever heard of the saying that a good child is born under the stick? If I hadn't set strict requirements on them since they were young, would they be where they are today? Would they be able to become successful?"

Grandma Shen pouted, "They are already very capable and have all developed well. What else do you want? Use your stick to beat out a national leader?

Let me give you a simple example. If Tongwen is married and has children, and you beat and scold Tongwen in front of his wife and children, what will his children think? They will think that Tongwen is a weakling who is easy to bully. The image of a great father in the child's mind will collapse instantly. The consequence is that the child will not respect his father and will also think of ways to bully his father.

What can a child taught like this achieve?

In the eyes of a child, a father is an important figure, and no one can embarrass his father in front of the child.

Look at me, when I was scolding you, did I lock you in a room?"

Shen Zhenhua: “…” What you said makes sense.

The old man took a sip of water and thought for a long time.

Thinking back on his attitude towards his three grandsons and comparing it with his granddaughters' attitude, it seemed that the three grandsons had never received any love from him.

In his memory, all he could see were images of his grandson being beaten and crying.

There are also pictures of people covered in wounds.

Shen Zhenhua felt that he was old, otherwise why would he feel a little sad.

Is it really time for him to retire?

Shen Tongwen drove his car aimlessly on the street.

There was not a single pedestrian on the dark road.

He was like a walking corpse who had lost his soul, turning the steering wheel numbly.

After an unknown amount of time, he came to his senses and realized that he had parked the car without knowing when.

When I looked up, I saw that the car had been driven to the building downstairs of Xia Shumo's community.

Shen Tongwen suddenly felt like a complete loser and punched the steering wheel in frustration.

The pain from his hand stimulated his nerves, making him sober for a moment.

He leaned weakly on the steering wheel, breathing in deep breaths.

"Boom boom boom."

The car window made a knocking sound, and Shen Tongwen looked up suddenly. Under the dim light, the girl's pretty face appeared outside the car window.

Shen Tongwen's heart shrank suddenly, and he quickly opened the car door, "Shumo, why did you get out?"

He was very surprised. “How did you know I was here?”

While speaking, he quickly got out of the car, opened the back door, pushed Xia Shumo in first, and then squeezed in himself.

It’s warm inside the car.

Xia Shumo looked at Shen Tongwen suspiciously, "I was going to ask you something, why are you here? It's almost twelve o'clock."

Shen Tongwen's eyes were a little evasive, as if he didn't know how to face his future wife.

"I couldn't sleep, so I drove out for a walk and ended up here.

How did you find me?

"I got up to go to the bathroom, and I glanced casually under the window and saw you."

Xia Shumo stared at Shen Tongwen closely, "Tongwen, you seem to be worried! What happened? Can you tell me?"

Shen Tongwen suddenly felt that he was not worthy of Xia Shumo.

He likes being with her, but he is thinking about another woman in his heart. Is he a scumbag?

Shen Tongwen took a deep breath and said with determination, "Shumo, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought about another woman when I was with you. I feel that I am not worthy of you and cannot give you my love wholeheartedly."

Xia Shumo's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Shen Tongwen in disbelief, "What did you say? You mean, you like me and another woman at the same time?"

Shen Tongwen was indeed a little embarrassed, but he still didn't want to deceive Xia Shumo.

She said, "Shumo, I am sorry for you. I shouldn't have thought about Jiaojiao when I was with you, and I shouldn't have felt guilty when I went back to face my sister after spending a day with you.

Tonight, Jiaojiao bought me a gift and I felt very sad at that time. I felt guilty for not staying at home with her and not taking her out to play. In the past, I would accompany her when she was at home.

However, if I accompany Jiaojiao, I will ignore you, but I don’t want to ignore you, so this unbalanced situation makes me feel very uncomfortable. "
