But now it seems that his limp is gone.
Shen Huai'an noticed the old lady's gaze. He sat on the sofa and deliberately crossed his legs. "Xingxing, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and sit down."
Lin Wanxing hadn't reacted yet when he walked over blankly and slowly sat down.
"Xingxing, have an orange." Shen Huai'an unceremoniously picked up a slice of orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table and handed it to Lin Wanxing.
Lin Wanxing smiled when he saw the bright yellow oranges; oranges were his favorite fruit.
He started eating seriously, praising how delicious it was as he ate.
The old lady had no time to watch their interaction; instead, she stared in shock at Shen Huai'an's raised leg.
What she was thinking was, he's not lame anymore. Before, Shen Huai'an used to walk with a limp, how did he suddenly get better?
"This is too fast!" The old lady carefully observed his legs and finally concluded that he had been faking his limp all these years and that he was not actually lame at all.
He had recovered long ago, and he even used this method to lower his and Shen Taimin's guard against him.
The old lady forced a smile and asked with feigned concern, "Second son, is your leg alright?"
"It's alright, my leg has been fine for a long time." Shen Huai'an smiled calmly, his eyes shining brightly.
“If I hadn’t pretended to be lame, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to sit here and listen to your nonsense.”
The old lady's butler was displeased upon hearing this.
"Second Young Master, what do you mean by that? The old lady has sacrificed so much for this family over the years, can't you see that?"
The old housekeeper had been with the old lady since he was young, so he naturally knew how to speak in her place.
Their master-servant relationship has been very good for many years.
Shen Huai'an looked up and sneered, "When did it become your place to interfere in this family? The affairs of the Shen family are not something a housekeeper like you can understand. You should shut up."
These words sounded extremely harsh, and even Lin Wanxing, who was eating nearby, stopped eating. When did his second brother learn to speak like that?
However, that's a good point. That's exactly what the old woman said about herself. Second Brother, this is called giving her a taste of her own medicine.
"You...you..." The old butler's face turned black with anger. He never expected Shen Huai'an to speak to him like that. He had spent his entire life in this family, and everyone treated him with utmost respect. Even the master had praised him when he was alive.
At my age, how dare Shen Huai'an speak like that?
The old lady turned around and gently patted the old housekeeper with her hand. She said, "Second son, what you said was too harsh. Your Uncle Wu is our family's old housekeeper. He is your elder. Isn't it a bit much for you to talk to him like that?"
Shen Huai'an was no longer listening to anything. He was too lazy to even pretend anymore. "Just because you're old doesn't mean you can be disrespectful and act recklessly because of your status. When you're old, you should be content with your lot and enjoy your retirement, instead of trying to meddle in everything."
“When you get old, you should enjoy life, don’t you think?” Shen Huai’an asked the old lady with a smile.
The person being spoken of was clearly the old lady, and the old lady could understand that Shen Huai'an was talking about her.
"Second brother, don't think too much about it. Everything has settled down now, so don't dwell on the past."
