Shen Taimin, abandoning his previous respectful and humble demeanor, pointed at Shen Huai'an and shouted angrily without restraint: "This was all your trap, wasn't it?"
"You did it! It was all your doing!"
The image of the elder brother he had cultivated in the past collapsed instantly. Now, even without any confidential documents, Shen Taimin could still make Shen Huai'an get out of the Shen family.
He still had the ledger the old man had left behind before his death. As long as he had that ledger, these old men would still have to obey him.
If they don't want a lose-lose situation, they should listen to their own orders and drive Shen Huai'an out.
Shen Huai'an felt a sense of satisfaction at his behavior, but he remained calm on the surface. "What did I do wrong to make you hold such a grudge? You were the one who started what happened today. Besides, I didn't have the ability to foresee everything!"
"Stop making baseless accusations. You're the one who's been harming Second Brother all along," Lin Wanxing said earnestly from behind Shen Huai'an.
Third Uncle slammed his hand on the table. "Shin Tae-min, shut up!"
Shen Taimin not only didn't shut up, but instead laughed self-deprecatingly: "Third Uncle, you've always sided with Shen Huai'an. From the beginning, you've thought that I was slandering Shen Huai'an and that I couldn't tolerate him. But have you ever thought about why I can't tolerate him?"
“Shen Huai’an is not as gentle and harmless as everyone seems on the surface; he is quite malicious.”
Shen Huai'an stood there without saying a word or refuting him; the situation between the two of them had now clearly shown who was superior.
Looking at Shen Taimin's demeanor, the old lady felt that this guy was beyond saving. Suddenly, she became furious and accused her third uncle of favoritism in the ancestral hall. Was she provoked by something?
The old lady knew in her heart that Shen Huai'an had turned the tide, and Shen Taimin had no chance of winning at all.
Third Uncle felt uncomfortable when he heard that he was biased.
"Taemin, who is the truly malicious one? How do you explain framing your own brother?" Uncle San suddenly retorted.
"That's right, don't bully Huai'an just because he's all alone."
Now everyone is starting to speak up for Shen Huai'an.
When Shen Taimin heard someone speak up for Shen Huai'an, he became inexplicably irritable and roared at all the elders in the ancestral hall: "Shut up, all of you! What do you know?"
"A bunch of clueless old shareholders who only know the surface. Shen Huai'an is a complete hypocrite. Can't you all see that?"
Shen Taimin was completely disregarding everything now. Seeing his exasperated and impatient state, Shen Huai'an couldn't help but laugh.
He quickly said, his face full of shock, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Those sitting here are all elders of the Shen family. How can you talk to them like that!"
"I don't understand when you became like this, brother. My kind and generous brother has turned into this just to harm me. Brother, we grew up together since we were little. Is it necessary for you to treat me like this for that position?"
Shen Huai'an's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his tone was one of disbelief.
He seemed to disbelieve that Shim Tae-min would go to such lengths.
Shen Taimin hated seeing Shen Huai'an pretend to be clueless and in pain. Seeing that hypocritical face made him want to tear off Shen Huai'an's mask and show everyone how despicable and shameless the real Shen Huai'an was.
"Stop pretending, it's all because of you."
This Shim Tae-min is becoming more and more disappointing, and the elders here are extremely dissatisfied with what Shim Tae-min just said.
“The Greenland project belongs to you, Chen Taimin, don’t try to push it onto others.”
"Are the ancestral tablets here? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for lying? Who would do something like framing their own brother?"
“We all share the same surname, Shen, and are of the same origin. Is what you are doing right to your deceased father and Huai’an’s parents?”
They started bombarding Shim Tae-min with a barrage of comments, which annoyed him. These old guys kept bringing up the dead.
He's already dead, what does he care about anything else?
Shen Huai'an should have gone with his parents, so he wouldn't be standing here in the way.
The old lady clutched her chest and coughed, saying, "Taemin, shut up! Apologize to your brother. Huai'an is a forgiving child; he won't hold it against you for this."
"Why should I apologize to him?"
Lin Wanxing stared intently at the old woman, who always spoke up for Shen Taimin. Suddenly, Lin Wanxing broke free from Shen Huai'an's grasp and ran over to give the still-crazy Shen Taimin a hard shove.
He was strong and took advantage of Shim Tae-min's argument with the elders to shove him hard.
Shen Taimin didn't notice Lin Wanxing and was pushed forward by him, almost falling over.
Shen Taimin turned around and stared at Lin Wanxing with a venomous look in his eyes. Lin Wanxing was completely unfazed by his gaze and said in a serious tone:
"Is an apology enough if you do something wrong?"
"Then I'll apologize to him too, and I hope he'll forgive me generously."
As he spoke, Lin Wanxing looked at the old lady again and asked, dumbfounded:
"Why do you always speak up for Shim Taemin and not for your second brother?"
"Are you being biased? Don't you like your second brother? Why do you always expect him to be magnanimous? Does being magnanimous give you the right to bully others at will?"
The old lady looked at Lin Wanxing and then sighed with worry, saying, "Wanxing, how can a child interrupt when adults are talking?"
Before Lin Wanxing could answer, Shen Huai'an said with a smile, "He's my lover, isn't it normal for him to speak up for me? I'm not good with words and I'm always being led by the nose. If no one speaks up for me, I'll really feel miserable."
