The call was connected.
Shen Jiazhou didn't speak immediately while sitting in the car. After a few seconds, the other person asked, "Jiazhou, are you busy?"
Shen Jiazhou leaned back in his chair and said, "No, it's in the cemetery."
Grandpa Shen was silent for a moment: "It's so late, are you still going to see Jia Chen?"
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "I was just passing by, so I came up to take a look."
The cemetery where Shen Jiachen is located is far away from the Shen Group and Shen Jiazhou's residence. No matter how you turn, you can't possibly pass by it.
Old Master Shen sighed.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Grandpa, just say what you want to say. It's already very late."
Grandpa Shen snorted: "What, can't I even make a phone call to ask what my grandson is doing?"
Shen Jiazhou simply said, "I'm hanging up."
"Shen Jiazhou!" Old Master Shen said angrily, "Are you just taking advantage of the fact that I'm currently abroad? Let me tell you, I'll be back next week."
Shen Jiazhou's brows, which had been furrowed, furrowed even more. He asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"
According to the original plan, Grandpa Shen was supposed to stay until the end of the month before returning. It's only the beginning of the month, so why is he back already?
Grandpa Shen didn't hide anything anymore. He said, "Your dad sent me some photos this afternoon, and I just saw them."
Photos? What photos?
But Shen Jiazhou's keen intuition told him that it must be related to Can Can.
Sure enough, the next second Old Master Shen said, "Have you been getting close to that Su family's daughter lately? That girl named Shu Qiao."
Shen Jiazhou remained silent, but Old Master Shen spoke bluntly: "And what's with that child you're holding? Why does he look so much like you from the side? Have you been doing something behind my back?"
Her profile looks a lot like his... Candy?
Shen Jiazhou said, "Grandpa, send me the photos."
Grandpa Shen felt his blood pressure soar: "Is this about photos or not! That child looks about three years old, right? Have you really done something foolish?"
No wonder he hasn't gone on any of the many excellent young ladies they've introduced him to these past two years; he's been holding back a big one!
Shen Jiazhou felt his nerves pounding, and he said again, "Grandpa, send me the photos."
Grandpa Shen was furious on the other end of the phone for a long time, but finally he said, "I sent it to you! You're really driving me crazy!"
Shen Jiazhou immediately returned to WeChat, opened Old Master Shen's WeChat, and saw that Old Master Shen had sent three photos, which he opened and viewed one by one.
It happened this morning; he, Wen Shuqiao, and Cancan were photographed when they went to the elevator.
The profile picture that Grandpa Shen was referring to was the last one. Can Can turned her head to look at Wen Shu Qiao, while Wen Shu Qiao was also looking down at Can Can.
A day was enough time for them to investigate Wen Shuqiao, but fortunately, Cancan didn't have much information.
Shen Jiazhou actually knew he would be noticed, but he didn't expect to be discovered in the form of being secretly photographed.
On the phone, Grandpa Shen continued rambling, "Jiazhou, it's not that I'm against you getting married and having children; I fully support you. But shouldn't you discuss things with us beforehand? Don't let the child grow up and we elders still be kept in the dark. Although Shuqiao was switched at birth by the Su family, we don't necessarily need a marriage between equals. As long as she's well-behaved by the Su family, we can accept her."
Shen Jiazhou came to his senses: "Grandpa, don't you think your words are contradictory? On one hand, you say that it's not necessary to marry someone of equal social standing, but on the other hand, you say that as long as the child is well-mannered by the Su family."
He closed his eyes and coldly exposed, "This is a classic case of protesting too much."
"..." Old Master Shen was so angry he wanted to hang up the phone, but he finally calmed down: "I don't care what you say, I've booked the plane tickets for next Friday. Also, your father is just concerned about you, about this..."
“I will settle accounts with him for this.” Shen Jiazhou’s face was hidden in the darkness, with the faint light from his phone screen illuminating his face. “You should also tell him that if I find out he went to see Shuqiao or the child without permission, he either gets out of the Shen family or I leave the Shen family. It’s one or the other.”
"Shen Jiazhou!" Old Master Shen said with deep helplessness, "It's been two years! Two years! Haven't you forgiven your father yet?"
Shen Jiazhou remained unusually calm and countered, "Is there any need to forgive him?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Shen Jiazhou remained silent as well.
Now that there's no one else around, he's too lazy to pretend.
In the end, Old Master Shen compromised, saying, "I will tell him not to do anything reckless before I come back. After I return, you will explain things to me clearly!"
Instead of directly answering Old Master Shen's question, Shen Jiazhou reminded him, "I hope there won't be a second time this kind of secret filming happens."
Listen to this! Is this how you talk to your elders?
Grandpa Shen was so angry that he had to use an oxygen machine. After taking a couple of breaths, he realized he was still very angry, so he simply hung up the phone.
Shen Jiazhou tossed his phone back onto the passenger seat, placed one hand on the steering wheel, took a deep breath, and started the car to drive back.
*
Wen Shuqiao dried her hair, stretched her limbs, turned off the living room lights, and went back to her bedroom.
The bedroom was lit by a small nightlight. Can Can was sleeping in a crooked position on the bed. She had originally been on the inside of the bed, but now she had somehow rolled to the edge of the bed, her hand still clutching the lace trim of her pillow.
Helplessly, she walked over and moved him a little further inside. At this moment, Can Can was like a figurine, letting Wen Shuqiao move him around at will. However, after Wen Shuqiao got into bed and lay down, he got up again on his own.
