Chapter 512: Strong Sense of Responsibility
"If you and Ziyue have children in the future, you can send them to me and I will raise them. I won't be partial. If you can make some contribution to this family before you leave, I will have no regrets."
"Grandpa, I didn't mean that! I'm just worried about your health. Ziyue and I have our hands and feet, so we can naturally take care of the child ourselves. You're just looking for something to do."
"Well, you have to find something to do. Just answer me, what kind of children can your uncle and aunt raise? We're all in this family, and our interests are tied together. If anyone goes astray, it will affect the others!"
Shen Shian wanted to persuade him, but Master Shen was no longer willing to listen and insisted on raising the child. The old man was as stubborn as an ox and said that his eldest brother had no objection. Shen Shian had no choice but to shut up and sit aside angrily drinking tea to calm down.
Xu Ziyue glanced at the grandfather and grandson who were in a tense situation, and tried to smooth things over by recommending a phone number to the old man. She said that this number was for a nanny recommended to her by Yan Nuo, who was very experienced. If the old man needed help, he could call the nanny to come home and try to take care of the child.
"Grandpa, we don't mean any harm. We're just worried that you're so absorbed in taking care of the child that you're neglecting your own health. Think about it, Shi'an has cared about you the most since he was little. He really wants you to see him become a father."
Master Shen looked at Xu Ziyue with bright eyes, "Is your body able to bear a child? Don't do anything rash. You must follow the doctor's advice carefully. We don't have many children at home, but we do have some. I'm not really looking forward to this one."
Xu Ziyue chuckled, "I saw a doctor, and the doctor said that if my leg is healed, I can start preparing for pregnancy."
Master Shen smiled. "If the doctor says so, then if you want to have a child, then get ready." He looked at Shen Shi'an and said, "Don't worry, I will be healthy and waiting for you to become a father. The doctor said I am in good health."
"You didn't bring your child." Shen Shian still insisted on this.
Master Shen was furious again and drove Shen Shian away. He had already taken the child, so what was the point of giving him back? Thinking of the state of the second son and his wife, Master Shen was determined not to return his great-grandson.
Shen Shian, who was kicked out of the villa, took Xu Ziyue back to his mother's villa. Ning Jing listened to Ziyue's conversation with Master Shen and looked at Shen Shian with disapproval:
"I know you're worried about your grandfather's health, but you're meddling too much. Moderate yourself."
"...Mom, it's hard to take care of children." Shen Shian didn't expect that his mother would disagree with his approach.
"Not every child is a high-needs baby. Some are easy to take care of, and we have a nanny at home. Your grandfather won't tire himself out."
"It seems that you agree with Grandpa's approach?"
"Of course. Do you think that being raised by your grandfather could be any worse than being raised by Jiang Yue? Jiang Yue sees the child as a tool to gain a foothold in the Shen family, so it's impossible for her to truly love the child. But when a child is born, he is a living person, and a blank piece of paper. If your grandfather takes this blank piece of paper and carefully cares for it, he will definitely become a painting. In the hands of your second aunt, there is no possibility of him becoming a painting."
Xu Ziyue sighed: "This child is quite pitiful."
Ning Jing nodded, "Yes, everyone wants a good pair of parents, but he was destined not to have them when he was born."
Shen Shi'an frowned slightly. If he considered it from the child's perspective, the current situation would indeed be a better environment for his growth.
"You two shouldn't be jealous, right?" Ning Jing teased them with a smile.
Xu Ziyue laughed, "Mom, no. Shi An and I are just worried about Grandpa's health. I have already introduced him to a trustworthy nanny."
"Good boy. Your grandfather has a strong sense of responsibility. He was heartbroken to see one of his grandsons doing so many bad things. At the same time, he is a very active person and always wants to change the bad things in front of him."
The two expressed their understanding.
Seeing that they had come to terms with it, Ning Jing felt relieved. After the family of three had dinner, Shen Shian took Ziyue home.
Immediately, Xu Ziyue noticed something was wrong with Shen Shi'an. Ever since he'd driven away from the old house, his face had been gloomy, his brow furrowed. It was unclear what he was thinking. At first, Xu Ziyue thought he was still blaming Shen Shihao for burdening Grandpa, but it was unlikely that this incident would keep the man's mood down all the way back home. After he entered the study, Xu Ziyue followed suit, carrying a plate of fruit.
