The old lady didn't really care about Shen Taimin; what she cared about most was the Shen family's reputation and her own. She couldn't escape blame for having such a murderer's child under her care.
If we had known that Shen Taimin had been by the old lady's side all these years, if he had really been arrested for murder, the old lady would have faced the gossip and pointing fingers of the Shen family.
"He's a madman, how could he even think of killing someone?" The old lady took a deep breath; she was about to be driven mad by this idiot, Shim Tae-min.
She really couldn't understand why Shen Taimin wanted to kill Xie Xiaodong. Since he had chosen to take up the blade, why didn't he also eliminate Shen Huai'an?
The old lady hated Shen Huai'an the most, so much so that she wished he could disappear forever.
Lin Wanxing pulled Shen Huai'an's hand and walked backward. He wanted to leave the Shen family's old house, a suffocating place that always made him feel uncomfortable.
"Second brother, when are we leaving?"
Shen Huai'an felt his hand being held tightly.
He lowered his head. "I'll be leaving in a bit."
Shen Huai'an didn't intend to beat around the bush with the old lady anymore. He said directly, "Perhaps my elder brother couldn't accept his failure. He made a big show of it by bringing so-called documents and calling all the family elders to the ancestral hall, just to publicly ruin my reputation and force me to leave the group and the Shen family."
"But he lost. In the end, he was the one who lost everything and had nothing. Perhaps he couldn't accept this fact, which is why he went crazy."
"If he gets arrested, it's his own fault. Xiao Dong is my friend. Just because of that, does he think he can kill Xiao Dong at will?"
The old lady looked up at Shen Huai'an, then exchanged a glance with the butler beside her.
"Second brother, you don't really want to send your eldest brother to jail, do you?!"
Lin Wanxing was stunned when he heard this. He frowned and said loudly, "What does this have to do with Second Brother? He's the one who killed someone. It's only right that he goes to prison."
“This isn’t something Second Brother can just give away whenever he wants. He’s so bad, going to jail is already a mercy to him.”
Lin Wanxing particularly loathed Shen Taimin, a wicked and vicious fellow who deserved to go to hell.
The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Wanxing with disdain. In her eyes, Lin Wanxing was an invisible person who did not exist.
She never took the fool that Shen Huai'an had married seriously. She originally wanted to introduce Shen Huai'an to a good marriage. The daughter of Han Xin Group was beautiful, sweet-voiced, dignified and composed. Marrying her would be a good idea and would also make the family relationship more stable.
The important thing is that the girl is genuinely nice; she always listens to me.
The old lady liked people who were easy to manage, and she disliked people like Lin Wanxing who were noisy and disobedient.
“When did it become your place to interrupt? You don’t understand anything about the Shen family. You should just stay by the second son’s side, eat and drink, and keep him company. You shouldn’t interfere in other matters.”
Shen Huai'an took a deep breath. He really couldn't hold back any longer; he had no reason to endure it any longer.
That old hag, she's always so arrogant towards Xingxing because of her status.
Shen Huai'an held Lin Wanxing's hand, and after his eyes slowly met those of the old lady, he said seriously, "Xingxing is married to me, and he is also a member of the Shen family. He is not interfering; he is just expressing his thoughts."
"Furthermore, I don't think Xingxing has any intellectual problems. He can understand our conversations and can distinguish between good and bad people."
“My elder brother’s current situation is his retribution, and he deserves to pay the price. I originally wanted to do my best for the family, and I didn’t care about gains or losses, nor did I care about fame or fortune.”
“But the more I back down like this, the more people will bully me. I think you know about my leg and my parents.”
This question made the old lady and the old housekeeper turn pale instantly. The old lady quickly regained her composure and thought for a moment before saying, "Second son, what do you mean by that? I'm old and I don't understand what you're saying anymore. Your legs were an accident for your parents. Don't think too much about it."
It was an accident, but with so many things combined, it wasn't an accident at all; it was deliberate. The old lady knew what the eldest son's side had done back then, but she could only pretend not to know and continue to support Shen Taimin's side.
The second son's parents both died in a car accident. They originally thought that the second son would be deeply affected by this, but unexpectedly, although he was sad, he was still strong and overcame everything. He even worked harder than before.
During that period, he handled many things in the group without being affected, which made many of the older members of the Shen family value him even more.
The old lady can only pretend to be stupid now, saying she knows nothing.
Now that things had come to this point, Shen Huai'an spoke frankly. In any case, Shen Taimin was already a useless cripple who was no longer a threat. As for this old codger, he would eventually have to tear off the mask of civility.
Once the pretense is over, everyone no longer needs to pretend, which is quite tiring.
"Grandma, things have come to this. Shen Taimin has committed murder and fled, and the third son is also avoiding you. You really have no one by your side now."
"You don't actually think I'm still the same person who lets others bully me like before, do you?" After saying that, Shen Huai'an released Lin Wanxing's hand, slowly walked to the sofa, and sat down steadily.
The old lady watched as he let go of Lin Wanxing's hand and walked over step by step. His movements were no different from those of an ordinary person, and his lameness seemed to have been completely cured.
When he came in, the old lady was surprised not to see what he was holding. Later, when she saw that he was holding Lin Wanxing tightly, she assumed that Shen Huai'an was just holding on with Lin Wanxing's support.
