Chapter 17: The Hongmen Banquet
It was a call from grandpa.
Is there something urgent?
She quickly answered, "Grandpa."
Shen Ruzheng coughed lightly, “Lili, come to grandpa.”
"Now?" Shen Shuli asked.
Shen Ruzheng hummed softly.
Shen Shuli acted coquettishly, "But, Grandpa, I'm at work now. I can't skip work and come to see you, right?"
"Then come over at noon and have dinner with grandpa."
Shen Ruzheng said.
"grandfather……"
Shen Shuli was a little helpless. She always felt that this trip at noon would be a Hongmen Banquet.
Shen Ruzheng said: "That's settled, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, I'll hang up first."
Shen Shuli curled her lips. She was too embarrassed to refuse what her grandfather asked her to do.
Mu Huaixu's deep eyes were filled with tenderness. "I've never seen this side of you before. It turns out you can act like a spoiled child too."
Shen Shuli stuck out her tongue playfully, "Grandpa has loved me the most since I was a child. No matter what mistakes I made, Grandpa always protected me unconditionally. The person I love most is Grandpa."
Mu Huaixu took out the case documents and said, "Let's talk about the case. The trial will start in a few days, so we still need to go through the procedures."
Shen Shuli didn't quite understand. The case was clearly well prepared, and there were so many legal professionals under the Mu family, so why did they have to come to her?
At noon, after seeing Mu Huaixu off, I drove to my grandfather's house.
Her car was sent for repair, and she drove a Porsche that Fu Yanci rarely drove.
After arriving at Grandpa's house, Aunt Zhang took the initiative to greet her, "Miss, the master has been waiting for you all morning."
Shen Shuli put down the bag, "What is Grandpa doing?"
"I'm playing chess with my uncle."
Aunt Zhang is my grandfather’s nanny. She has been working as a nanny in my grandfather’s house since she was young and has been doing this all her life.
Son-in-law?
"When did Fu Yanci come?"
"I came early in the morning and have been accompanying the master the whole time."
Aunt Zhang said.
Shen Shuli curled her lips. No wonder her grandfather called her in the morning and asked her to come over. It turned out that Fu Yanci came at that time.
"Take me there to have a look."
Aunt Zhang took her to the study.
Shen Ruzheng and Fu Yanci were playing chess. It was Fu Yanci's turn to play at this time. He was concentrating, with all his attention on the chessboard.
Shen Shuli sat beside Shen Ruzheng's sofa and hugged Shen Ruzheng's neck, "Grandpa, why did you call me back suddenly?"
Fu Yanci raised his head, his eyes filled with joy. He got up from his seat and raised his head to greet her.
"Lili, you're here."
Shen Shuli didn't look at him, but just looked at the chess game.
Shen Ruzheng held her hand helplessly, "The old lady of the Fu family came to me to complain, saying that you overturned the dining table at someone else's family gathering."
Shen Shuli pouted, "That old woman has such a foul mouth. I've already given her face by not scolding her. How dare she complain?"
Shen Ruzheng pinched her cheek and smiled indulgently, "You have to control your temper in the future, otherwise you will suffer a great loss, do you hear me?"
Shen Shuli snorted coldly and looked at the chess board, "Grandpa, are you letting him go? This is not like your level."
Shen Ruzheng looked at the chess board, "I remember that Yan Ci learned Go just to accompany you. You only learned half of it and refused to learn it. Yan Ci has been able to calm down since he was a child."
Shen Shuli concentrated on the chess game. She knew that her grandfather was going to teach her a lesson through the game again.
She glared at Fu Yanci fiercely. This bastard must have come to complain to her grandfather. She didn't know what they talked about all morning.
Shen Ruzheng looked at Fu Yanci with a serious look in his eyes, "Yanci."
Fu Yanci sat upright and nodded politely, "Grandpa, go ahead."
Shen Ruzheng held Shen Shuli's hand and handed it to him, "Lili has been spoiled by me since she was a child. You are the child I have watched grow up since she was a child. I am relieved to hand her over to you."
Shen Shuli frowned and wanted to pull his hand back.
Fu Yanci clenched it tightly, "Grandpa, I will protect Lili well. I will never let anyone bully her."
"Who needs your protection? I can protect myself."
Shen Shuli muttered softly, pulled his hand back, and shook it vigorously.
Shen Ruzheng was somewhat helpless, "Yan Ci has liked you since childhood. He is a child I trust. You have to change your temper and stop bullying him all the time. Do you hear me?"
Shen Shuli pouted, and the more she looked at Fu Yanci, the angrier she became. "Grandpa, ask him, is he bullying me, or am I bullying him?"
The sunlight outside the window shone on Fu Yanci's body, giving him a layer of golden light. His doting gaze fell on her.
"Grandpa, Lili is very nice to me and has never bullied me. This is all my fault. I made her angry recently."
Shen Shuli rolled her eyes at him. Don't think that she will forgive him just because he said that.
He couldn't let go of the fact that he secretly supported Bai Jinghong so easily.
Shen Ruzheng patted Shen Shuli's arm, "You don't have to speak for her, you have been like this since childhood, every time Lili got into trouble outside, you said it was you who did it, for fear that she would be scolded when she got home."
Shen Shuli hugged Shen Ruzheng's neck in astonishment and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, am I still your granddaughter? You actually spoke in his favor!"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and Shen Jinglan walked in, "Grandpa, I heard Aunt Zhang say that Lili is here. Did she get into trouble again and come to you to hide from you?"
Shen Shuli was so angry that he almost jumped up and stomped his feet, "Brother! Why are you bullying me too!"
Shen Jinglan smiled and rubbed her hair, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do I feel like you've lost weight? Losing weight?"
"Really? That's the best thing I've heard today."
Shen Shuli smiled happily.
Fu Yanci stood up and greeted him, "Brother."
Shen Jinglan just nodded without even looking at him, his eyes completely focused on Shen Shuli, "Why don't you eat well? Don't you like the food cooked by the servants?"
Actually, it was because of her pregnancy. Shen Shuli had no appetite recently no matter what she ate, and she would feel full after eating a little.
However, she didn't dare tell anyone about her pregnancy.
After all, Fu Yanci doesn't want children.
Whether to have a child or not is up to her alone.
"Nothing, it's still hot in autumn. I have no appetite for anything."
Shen Jinglan narrowed his eyes and glared at Fu Yanci coldly, "I handed my little sister to you, and this is how you take care of her? If you can't take good care of her, then Lili will come home in the future. Our Shen family doesn't mind having an extra pair of chopsticks."
“Brother…”
Shen Shuli didn't expect that Shen Jinglan would be angry. Her first reaction was to speak up for Fu Yanci, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Fu Yanci's attention was all on Shen Shuli, and every little expression of hers could not escape his eyes.
He could see that she cared about him, so why did she insist on getting a divorce?
