When Shim Tae-min heard that the old lady had completely stopped siding with him and was distancing herself from him, he lost control.
"You change your tune so quickly! You were the one who gave me that document, and you were the one who asked me to use it against Shen Huai'an. Now you're denying it. Isn't it a bit too late to turn your back on us?" Shen Taimin pointed at the old lady, his former respect and filial piety completely gone.
Now his true nature has been completely exposed. The old lady remained calm in the face of his accusations. She asked gently, "Taemin, when I gave you the documents, did I tell you to use them to deal with Huai'an?"
"I meant this thing would be useful to you, so you could take a good look at it. I never expected you would use it to frame your second brother."
This was completely different from what he had said before, and Shim Tae-min now realized that he had been used as a pawn.
He gritted his teeth and said, "But back then..."
"What happened back then?"
Shen Taimin was speechless, because the old lady had not explicitly told him to use the item to deal with Shen Huai'an.
The old lady's eyes were full of sorrow: "I've been the best to you all these years. Even the second son thinks I'm biased towards you. You can imagine how much I care for you. When your project failed and you owed so much money, I had to beg the second son to come back to the group to help you."
What a groveling act! It's as if she knelt down and begged Shen Huai'an, or as if Shen Huai'an didn't care about her at all, making an elder swallow her pride and beg.
"In the end, instead of being grateful to me, you not only tried to frame Huai'an, but also tried to slander me?"
"Fine, fine, one of you says I'm biased, and the other says I'm instigating things. I'm such a wretched old man, with my grandchildren treating me like this one by one."
"I'm just a skeleton now, and in my final moments I still have to be criticized like this. I'd rather be dead."
After she finished speaking, she leaned back, clutching her chest tightly with one hand, breathing heavily as if she couldn't breathe, and her face turned pale.
"Madam, are you alright?" The butler behind her asked hurriedly upon seeing her condition.
The old housekeeper was shrewd; in front of everyone, he quickly took out a nitroglycerin pill and put it into the old lady's mouth.
The old lady's complexion improved considerably after taking the nitroglycerin pills.
Seeing how realistic her acting was, Shen Huai'an couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Grandma, are you alright?"
The old housekeeper quickly spoke up for the old lady, saying, "The old lady has always had heart disease, and since the master passed away, her condition has become more and more serious. She can't stand getting angry at all, and she can't withstand even the slightest stimulation."
"Huai'an's words just now angered the old lady, which is why she acted this way."
Shen Huai'an really didn't know when this old woman had developed a heart condition.
This is quite a show of restraint. At his age, he still wants to control everything.
They always have so many things to worry about.
The old lady thought that she had finally gained a foothold in this family, and now that the old man was gone, she should be in charge of all the affairs of the old house, and the younger generation should all be obedient and respectful to her.
Shen Taimin used to be the most obedient and filial, but today, for some reason, he actually dared to talk back to me.
If he behaved well, I might have been happy to help him out, but he turned out to be an ingrate.
The old lady coughed weakly and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't get involved in today's affairs. You can handle it yourselves. I need to go back and rest now."
As the old lady was about to get up, the old housekeeper was about to help her up.
Third Uncle slammed his hand on the table. "Where are you going? This isn't over yet. The Shen family has always had its rules, and no one should break them."
The old lady had no choice but to sit down quietly again.
The third uncle was furious. "Shin Tae-min, the things you've done are truly outrageous. You even arranged a car accident that almost killed your own brother."
"You should really be expelled from the Shen family, or Huai'an should really call the police to arrest you."
At this moment, Shen Huai'an quickly played the good guy: "Third Uncle, this might just be a coincidence. I've offended so many people, maybe it was done by other enemies."
Hearing Shen Huai'an say this himself, Shen Taimin quickly followed up, "That's right, Shen Er has been making a name for himself in Jiangcheng all these years, and he has offended quite a few people. Why are you so sure that I did it?"
Lin Wanxing knew that his second brother helped Shen Taimin because they didn't have solid evidence, so he quickly said, "But only you know where your second brother is. Your second brother went to that suburb because you invited him. Who else could it be but you? Even someone as smart as me can tell that it was you who did it. What are you still trying to deny?"
Yes, even a fool like Lin Wanxing can see that all of this is related to Shen Taimin. If others can't see it, they're not even as good as fools.
Listening to Lin Wanxing keep talking, Shen Taimin wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear Lin Wanxing's mouth apart. "You're an idiot with a problem with your IQ. Do you have any right to speak here? This is the Shen family ancestral hall. Who do you think you are?"
“Xingxing is my lover, and we’re getting married next week. Of course he has the right to speak up for me here. You can hate me, brother, but please don’t insult Xingxing.” Shen Huai’an was genuinely angry. He hated it when people called Xingxing an idiot.
His star is the smartest, how could it be stupid?
