It was precisely because of Shen Huai'an's consistently good nature that Shen Laosan thought he was an easy target and continued to speak rudely and disrespectfully towards his elder brother.
However, Shen Huai'an would always act like an older brother and generously forgive Shen Laosan's various rudenesses.
Leaning on his cane, Shen Huai'an gently touched Lin Wanxing's face with one hand and asked softly, "Xingxing, where did you hear about this?"
"I...I..." Lin Wanxing seemed to freeze for a moment, his words were intermittent, which made Shen Zhiting, who was standing next to him, tense up and her heart was pounding.
"I……"
Lin Wanxing spoke very slowly, and every "I" made Shen Zhiting's heart jump into her throat.
She clenched her fists nervously, biting her lip tightly, and stared anxiously at Lin Wanxing.
She was afraid Lin Wanxing would say something, but this fool spoke slowly, as if he was deliberately trying to torture her.
In those few short seconds, Shen Zhiting was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
She was gripped by endless panic. If her great-grandmother found out that she was the one who hit Shen Wen with a stone and made him unconscious, she would probably be kicked out of the Shen family.
Lin Wanxing's gaze inadvertently swept towards Shen Zhiting. Shen Zhiting's face was pale, and her feigned composure was completely different from how she had looked down on Lin Wanxing at the dinner table.
Shen Qingyu grew even angrier as he listened to Lin Wanxing's inability to utter a complete sentence. He impatiently shouted at Shen Huai'an, "He's an idiot, what can you possibly get out of him?"
"A fool can't even speak clearly; you might as well ask a dog."
Shen Huai'an's smile took on a strange look. He gripped his cane and rubbed the grooves on it with his thumb.
His eyes were extremely calm, and he had a friendly smile. He looked at Shen Laosan and slowly said, "Third brother, I'm still your second brother. Xingxing is technically your second sister-in-law. You're hurting your second brother's feelings by doing this."
In the past, no matter how rude Shen Laosan was, Shen Huai'an would just smile calmly and not bother with him.
But he was clearly not very happy this time.
Lin Wanxing grabbed Shen Huai'an and said with a wronged expression, "Second brother, I'm not stupid."
Shen Qingyu didn't care whether Shen Huai'an was happy or not. He said whatever he wanted. Shen Er was just a cripple. What could he do to him?
“Our Xingxing isn’t stupid. The one who should really be careful with his words is you, Third Brother.”
Hearing Shen Huai'an's tone, Shen Fengjun subconsciously looked at his son.
My own stupid son is still making foolish mistakes here; he's truly beyond redemption.
Although Shen Huai'an's tone and attitude were no different from before.
However, as Shen Huai'an's uncle, he had watched Shen Huai'an grow up since he was a child, and he understood all too well the sinister intent hidden in Shen Huai'an's calm, dark eyes.
Huai'an was very sensible from a young age. He was courteous to his younger brother, respected his older brother, and even treated the servants in the house with courtesy.
He has a naturally good temper; no matter how others treat him, he will never get angry, as if he were a gentle child to the core.
His temperament was unlike anyone else in the Shen family. He was too perfect. He never cried or made a fuss, and was always well-behaved. He was always the most obedient and sensible child in the old man's eyes.
But everything he does is contingent on not ruining his good mood or offending him.
The more perfect Shen Huai'an is, the more terrifying he becomes.
A sharp slap landed hard on Shen Laosan's face.
"Qingyu, quickly apologize to your second brother and say you were wrong."
Shen Fengjun mustered all his strength and slapped Shen Qingyu hard across the face. The sound of the slap was particularly loud in the quiet hospital corridor.
"Dad!" Shen Qingyu stared at her father with disbelief in her eyes.
Shen Fengjun commanded Shen Qingyu without room for argument: "Apologize, apologize to your second brother."
