Chapter 25 Great-grandson becomes grandson
"Mom, you scared me to death!"
Meng Shuyue patted his pounding heart and let out a long sigh.
Mother Meng tapped her head and looked over to see who in the corridor had attracted her daughter's attention.
"What are you looking at? You don't see any handsome guys!"
She paused, her eyebrows raised.
"Could it be those guys from the Song family who bullied you?"
As Meng's mother spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to beat someone up.
Meng Shuyue hurriedly grabbed her and pulled her back.
In the corridor, a pregnant woman with a big belly walked past the two of them, supported by her husband.
Meng Shuyue looked at the backs of the couple leaning on each other, and a sense of bitterness slowly spread from his chest.
She turned her head and looked at Mother Meng, her eyes firm and resolute, “Mom, I want to see Grandpa Shen, can you help me?”
Mother Meng was puzzled. "Why do you want to see him? Your father and mother have already arranged your marriage. The second boy from the Song family is an honest man..."
"Mom, I don't want to marry him," Meng Shuyue interrupted her, her voice choking, "I want to marry anyone except the Song family!"
Mother Meng's throat choked, staring at her daughter's aggrieved expression, then looking at the ward not far away, as if she understood something, and hugged her in her arms distressedly, muttering, "Mother will do whatever you want, as long as you like it!"
Meng Shuyue recalled the malicious revenge that the people in the ward had just taken against her. She could no longer hold back the grievances of her past and present lives, and she hugged her mother tightly and burst into tears...

The lights in the Shen family courtyard were bright.
Mr. Shen originally planned to return to the countryside tomorrow and was about to rest early, but the accompanying nanny came over and said that there were guests visiting.
He came to the hall and looked around. He put on his reading glasses and looked her up and down for several times before he recognized the girl who saw him. "Are you the girl from the Meng family? Why are you here so late? Don't run around if you're pregnant..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the little girl in front of him bowing 90 degrees to him and was reluctant to stand up.
"Grandpa Shen, I want to break off the engagement with the Song family! Of course, if you don't want to break the agreement with my grandfather, you can also pick anyone from your Shen family to marry me, as long as they are not from the Song family."
Old Master Shen was stunned by what he heard, and quickly helped her up, his eyes slightly reddened, "Good child, what injustice have you suffered? Your grandfather saved me, and I made this engagement because I wanted to repay him. How could I let you marry someone casually?"
Seeing that the old man refused to give in, Meng Shuyue knelt down directly.
Her parents had never asked anyone for help in their entire lives. They only respected the marriage contract left to them by their grandfather and had never asked the Shen family for any help.
Today, as a daughter and a sister, she is willing to bow her head.
"Grandpa, I am not worthy of marrying into the Song family. The baby in my belly is not your grandson's!"
Meng Shuyue knelt down and told her the truth about how she fell into the flood when she returned to the city to deliver a baby, and then lost her virginity hanging from a tree.
Finally, she lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at the kind-looking old man in front of her.
"So I want to cancel my engagement with you. I only ask Grandpa to help my brother get a place to return to the city. From now on, my family and I will never bother you again..."
Meng Shuyue wanted to control his emotions and explain the whole thing calmly.
But when she thought of her brother who was still working in the countryside with a lame leg, she could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down her cheeks.
There was silence above my head for a moment.
The anger she expected did not come.
I heard from my mother that Mr. Shen was so happy when he learned that he had a great-grandson.
Now that she told him the truth, as happy as he was at the beginning, he felt as lost and sad now.
But the old man in front of her just took a deep breath and pulled her up from the ground.
"Good boy, why are you so honest? It's because my unpromising grandchildren are not lucky enough to marry you!"
He touched her head lovingly, and his eyes lit up as if he had made a decision.
"Go back. Grandpa will help you solve your brother's problem. As for the marriage, Grandpa will find you a better one. As for whose child this is, it doesn't matter. You can just have another one in the future!"
Meng Shuyue stood there at a loss, annoyed by Mr. Shen's abnormal attitude, or to be more precise, his excited attitude.
The child she was carrying was not his grandson, so why was he so happy?
Meng Shuyue was feeling nervous, but was eventually escorted out the door by Mr. Shen himself.
What's more, Mr. Shen even called the family driver to take her back in a jeep.
This side of the courtyard.
Mr. Shen looked at the car going away and couldn't control his laughter any longer.
The old man ran so fast in the yard that his reading glasses almost fell off his nose.
He rushed into the hall, picked up the phone in the house, and started rapidly dialing the numbers on the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't wait to ask the other party, "Hey, what does the girl you said you rescued from the tree with our Jin Xiao look like last time?"
In the army office.
The guard who answered the phone was confused. He glanced at Captain Shen who was packing up documents to take home, stood up straight and answered truthfully: "The girl is quite dark, but she looks pretty. Oh, and she can deliver babies!"
In the courtyard, Mr. Shen slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.
That’s exactly right!
Earlier, Mr. Shen heard from the guards that Shen Jinxiao and a girl fell into the flood and were washed away, and later he and the girl were rescued from the tree together.
At that time, he was wondering why his own son didn't know how to seize such a good marriage opportunity?
Shen Jinxiao is 27 years old this year. He and his wife had a son when they were in their fifties.
At his age, children can ride bicycles, but he is like a stone and can't even look a girl in the eye, which makes his old bones anxious.
I didn't expect this kid to do something big in silence and give him a whole child.
This great-grandson has become a grandson, and he is willing to laugh until his last front tooth falls out!
He shouted to the guard on the other end of the phone, "Hurry up and call your commander back. I have great news for him!"
