Chapter 341 At least Grandpa didn't reject this title
Upon hearing that Shen Yunqi had not yet gotten up, Shen Buyu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's like being on your way to school, and you're about to be late, but then you see your classmate leisurely eating a pancake.
That made me feel much more at ease.
"Big brother, when was the last time you saw Grandpa?" Shen Buyu asked while eating breakfast.
“It’s been many years, back when you were celebrating your graduation,” Shen Yanzhou recalled, and smiled easily. “Grandpa didn’t like me either.”
"Huh? Why? You're so outstanding." Shen Buyu was surprised, clearly not believing it.
"Because he doesn't like Ms. Qi," Shen Yanzhou said calmly.
Because he disliked his daughter-in-law, he also disliked the children born to his former daughter-in-law.
Shen Buyu tilted his head and poked the little dumpling in front of him. "I feel like he doesn't like anyone, not even his brother."
The old man always frowned and had a stern face whenever he saw her.
When she sees her brother, she'll yell and curse a few times.
He might simply not like children.
He remained silent, lost in thought.
"Where are my brothers? They're not up yet?" Shen Buyu then remembered his older brother.
Shen Yanzhou: "He went back to his place and said he would come over after we returned from our New Year's visit."
"Then let Mu Zi play with them today. Don't let her go to Grandpa's, so she won't go hungry there."
After finishing the whole steamed bun, Shen Buyu wiped his hands and said, "I'll go call my brother. I don't want Grandpa to have already cleared away the lunch plates by the time I get there."
That would be too awkward.
"What's there to collect?" Shen Yunqi yawned as he came downstairs. "Just collect it and have them redo it. It's no big deal. Shen Buyu, you better step up today."
It's just that old-fashioned, stubborn man, and those clueless relatives who want to split their family apart.
He, the Second Young Master Shen, had seen a lot since he was a child, and these were the people he was least afraid of.
If he could protect Shen Buyu once, he could protect her for a lifetime.
"Don't worry, Shen Buyu, with your brother here, you can stay put."
“And me,” Shen Yanzhou smiled gently, “Although Grandpa doesn’t like me, all the relatives in the family have to watch my face to get food.”
Shen Buyu's admiration for his two older brothers reached its peak.
That's so cool!
Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan watched the children chat with smiles.
"How come our child is so wonderful?" Shen Zhiye exclaimed for the N+1th time.
“Because it’s for your own good,” Lan Xinyan paused, “is that what you were waiting for?”
Shen Zhiye blushed, "Not at all, it's definitely because of Madam's excellent teaching, but it's mainly thanks to our daughter."
"Alright, enough with the flattery," Lan Xinyan stood up, picked up her shawl, and said, "Let's take the children to ask the old man for New Year's red envelopes."
Her father-in-law didn't like her either.
But at her age, she's already figured out a lot of things; what does it matter whether she likes it or not?
Since we don't live together anyway, as long as he doesn't instigate Shen Zhiye to cause trouble for him, it's not unbearable that we only get together for a meal during holidays.
Moreover, the old man was very generous to the children.
Every year when Bu Yu comes back from his place, she cries while counting her money, which is quite adorable.
The family of five arrived at Grandpa Shen's villa in the suburbs in two cars, and it was almost noon.
The butler greeted them as they entered, whispering, "Sir, Shen Shuyao arrived a long time ago and has been speaking ill of you and Madam to the old master."
Shen Zhiye nodded to him and thanked him, "Butler Sun, thank you for your trouble. Yanzhou has already arranged your son's job, but he didn't have time to tell you. He will report to Shen's Group after the New Year."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, young master," the butler said with a smile.
The family of five walked into the living room and, sure enough, heard that annoying sound.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but Uncle, you should at least give us a straight answer. Are you just going to let them put that person who has absolutely no blood relation to our family into the family tree and even give her shares? Why should we? Are all the things our family has worked so hard for over the years just going to be given to outsiders like this?"
Shen Shuyao became more and more agitated as she spoke, but the old man neither agreed nor disagreed, just remained silent with a sullen face, making her even more uncertain.
“Look at that child, he never speaks to anyone or greets them. How can he be included in our family genealogy?”
"That's still better than you gossiping behind my back," Shen Zhiye said coldly, leading his family inside. "Dad, Happy New Year."
"Cousin," Shen Shuyao was caught talking badly again, and felt embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly adjusted and smiled, "Happy New Year, cousin and cousin-in-law."
Lan Xinyan adjusted her wool shawl, not looking at Chen Shuyao, but staring directly at the person sitting in the mahogany armchair. "Dad, Happy New Year! We've brought the children to wish you a Happy New Year."
Old Master Shen put down his teacup, glanced at it, and hummed in agreement. "Sit down."
Shen Shuyao was taken aback. She had been standing and talking all day, but these people sat down as soon as they arrived.
"Hey, you've been talking for so long and still haven't gotten a seat," Shen Yunqi chuckled softly. "Hey, bro, do you remember this family?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't soft either; it was just right for Chen Shuyao to hear.
"I remember, my husband was arrested and detained for a few days because of his gambling addiction, and my son is abusing his wife and is about to face a lawsuit." Shen Yanzhou spoke in a low voice, recounting the story in detail.
Shen Shuyao's face turned even uglier.
Family scandals should not be aired in public, but her family's affairs have long been notorious.
She can't give up; she needs to get more money for her family.
"Yanzhou, who told you all this? Your uncle did a great job, closing several deals. As for your cousin, he just messed up that day. Who knew the other party would be so unreasonable?"
Shen Yanzhou ignored her.
My parents have already given their New Year's greetings; now it's the younger generation's turn.
She gave her younger siblings a wink and then got up.
"Grandpa, Yanzhou and his younger siblings have come to wish you a Happy New Year and all the best."
Old Master Shen glanced at Shen Yanzhou.
He's more mature than before, capable of handling company affairs independently, calm and reserved, just like his father was when he was young.
He looked at Shen Yunqi and heard that he had reformed and started working. The multicolored hair on his head had finally turned into a pleasing black.
Finally, looking at the little one... his brows immediately furrowed.
Shen Buyu's heart skipped a beat. He met the old man's gaze for a second before immediately looking away.
She said that the old man didn't like her and would frown every time he saw her.
"Butler, give them the red envelopes," Old Master Shen said.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Shen Yanzhou turned his head to look at Shen Buyu, gesturing for her to say it herself.
Shen Buyu rubbed his hands together at his sides, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa Shen glanced at her again and finally hummed in agreement.
Shen Buyu felt a little more at ease, at least his grandfather hadn't rejected the title.
Shen Shuyao stood to the side, her face turning green.
How come this orphan girl is calling him "grandfather"? Where can we go to reason with her?
