"What grandparents? They don't recognize me as their granddaughter and want to cut ties with me. Do they think I'm scared? I'm not scared, not at all! Waaah..."
Chen Shu kept crying, saying to herself, "That country bumpkin is just prettier than me, but how can she compare to me? I grew up with them since I was little, why don't they appreciate me and have to bring up my past in front of outsiders endlessly?"
Where did I go wrong? I pursued my own happiness, so where exactly did I go wrong?!
Chen Shu was crying so hard she could barely breathe. Perhaps her crying was too loud and startled her own child. Just as Wen Mei was about to say a few words of comfort to Chen Shu, her granddaughter in her arms suddenly shivered, then opened her eyes and cried loudly.
Why is the child crying so loudly?
That was Grandpa Wang's voice. Hearing his great-granddaughter crying, he came to the living room and saw Chen Shu sitting next to Wen Mei, crying and hiccuping. He couldn't help but frown and say with displeasure, "Can't you talk things out properly? You have to cry and wail at home. Now you've frightened the child, and you don't even know how to comfort her!"
Without a doubt, Old Master Wang's words were directed at Chen Shu.
Wen Mei looked embarrassed and said to Grandpa Wang while comforting her granddaughter in her arms, "Dad, Xiao Shu may have been wronged when she went back to the Chen family. She is upset and it is inevitable that she will lose control of her emotions. Please don't scold her. I will take care of the child!"
Gently patting her granddaughter's back, Wen Mei stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, hoping her granddaughter would stop crying as soon as possible.
"The Chen family is her own home. Who would allow her to suffer any injustice?"
Grandpa Wang dismissed Wen Mei's words with a heavy snort. He sat down on the sofa, looked at Chen Shu, and said, "Did you speak without thinking again and upset your grandmother?"
Although he was asking, Old Master Wang knew Chen Shu well, and the moment the words left his mouth, he already had the answer in his heart.
Chen Shu was only focused on crying and sobbing, as if she hadn't heard what Grandpa Wang was saying.
"Dad, Xiaoshu said that a country girl came to Uncle Chen's house."
Wen Mei briefly mentioned it.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wang seemed to think of something, and said, "What country girl? That should be another granddaughter of your Uncle Chen and his wife. That young lady is a doctor, and I've heard her medical skills are excellent."
"That girl performed your Uncle Chen and his wife's surgeries before. This young lady is here in Beijing on a work secondment, and it was a special call from her superiors."
Wen Mei was taken aback at first, then asked, "Dad, I didn't quite understand. How come the little girl you mentioned is another granddaughter of Uncle Chen and his wife? What's going on?"
"Haven't you heard?"
Old Master Wang frowned slightly.
Wen Mei was completely confused: "I don't know what Dad is referring to."
"Your Uncle Chen and his wife have found their long-lost second son, and the little girl I just told you about is most likely the child of the second son of the Chen family."
Thinking of the Chen family's children and grandchildren, and then thinking of his own, Old Master Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to his son, he only has one, while Old Man Chen has three. Even though his second son just found a wife and is farming in the countryside, his eldest and third sons are both very successful. On the other hand, his son has the ability, but his character isn't very good, so he probably won't go very far.
It's clear that he lost to Old Man Chen when it came to his son.
Let's talk about the grandchildren.
His eldest grandson and the brother and sister who were not related by blood and were raised by his Wang family were the only ones he could be proud of. But on Old Man Chen's side, even though his eldest son had no children, his second son, whom he had only recognized a few months ago, had three sons and one daughter. His third son also had two sons and one daughter who were his biological children, and he also had a stepson.
In terms of quantity, he couldn't compare to Old Man Chen; in terms of ability, his eldest grandson and Old Man Chen's third son were basically on par.
As for the remaining siblings who were not related by blood and his grandson, Old Man Wang knew perfectly well that the siblings who were not related by blood, namely the two children his daughter-in-law brought into the Wang family, the boy Fu Jinheng, had never put his heart into the Wang family.
The child always thought about his family in the Fu family; otherwise, he wouldn't have given up a job at a major hospital in Beijing to work at the machinery factory's staff hospital in a remote, impoverished area.
To be honest, the child wanted to take care of the Fu family elders as much as possible.
Mr. Wang undoubtedly heard this from his own son.
The girl, who is not related by blood, was originally named Fu Jingjing, but later changed her surname to Wang and was still called Jingjing. The little girl seems to have some affection for the Wang family. If her brother or the elders of the Fu family were to have any problems, they would definitely side with her blood relatives.
Thinking of this, Old Master Wang couldn't help but sigh again. He thought of his grandson, Wang Junchi, a spoiled brat who was almost no different from Chen Dongxu, the youngest son of the third son of the Chen family.
All he does is eat, drink, and have fun all day long, neglecting his duties. It gives him a headache.
There was nothing wrong with equating the brat with that scoundrel from the Chen family. The problem was that the scoundrel from the Chen family actually turned over a new leaf after suffering a great ordeal. Not only did he find a stable job, but he also hasn't caused any more trouble since he started working.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if he should find someone to break his grandson's legs too, and if the brat would suffer the pain of being disabled, would he also turn over a new leaf like the Chen family's brat and do something worthwhile?
That's what he thought, but Old Master Wang really couldn't bring himself to do it.
After all, with both legs crippled and the person who carried out the beating not knowing their own strength, his grandson might not be as lucky as the Chen family brat, able to stand up again and walk normally.
As his thoughts wandered, Old Master Wang recalled what Old Master Chen had once whispered in his ear—well, actually, it was boasting. Old Master Chen had boasted to Old Master Wang that his second son and his wife had given him three grandsons and one granddaughter, and that all three grandsons looked exactly like him when he was young—very handsome!
