Shen Zhiting looked miserable too. She slowly opened her mouth, struggling for a long time before finally managing to utter, "...Dad...I..."
When Shim Tae-min heard his daughter calling him, he quickly went to the bedside, frowned, and asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you now?"
Shen Zhiting was filled with grievances and wanted to complain to her father at this moment, but when she saw her father's impatient expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She was really sad. She had been made to look like this, but she couldn't get a single bit of care or concern from her father.
Shen Taimin didn't even want to look at her more than a few times. He turned to Shen Huai'an and asked, "What did you just say, second brother?"
"Did Xiaoting do anything wrong? Why are you making her kneel in the ancestral hall?"
Shen Huai'an glanced at Lin Wanxing, then looked at the others in the ward and said to Shen Taimin, "Xiaoting talked back to Xingxing yesterday, and even called me a cripple several times. She even tried to beat Xingxing. Fortunately, my bodyguard and I stopped her in time. According to the rules of the Shen family, making her kneel in the ancestral hall is already the greatest leniency I can show."
The Shen family has complicated rules. Gossiping about elders behind their backs and being arrogant and disrespectful are considered too lenient. Kneeling in the ancestral hall is far too lenient, especially considering she even dared to lay a hand on her elders.
As Shen Youqing listened to these words in the ward, she couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Youqing is also a daughter of the Shen family. She is from the third branch of the family and does not participate in family disputes. Shen Wen, who is injured and unconscious, is her nephew. In internal struggles, someone will always get hurt.
But children shouldn't be involved in matters between adults.
Shen Youqing smiled, her red lips curving upwards. Although she looked down on Lin Wanxing, that fool, she also looked down on Shen Zhiting.
Shen Youqing said, "Xiaoting always speaks without thinking, but I never expected her to fight with Lin Wanxing. It's only because my second brother has a good temper that he only made her kneel in the ancestral hall. If it were anyone else, they would never have let her off so easily."
"Big brother, it seems you've been so busy with your career that you can't even manage your child properly. Second brother will help you discipline her. You should thank second brother, otherwise, if word gets out, people will think that all the family education and upbringing in our Shen family is like Xiaoting's."
After a barrage of sarcastic remarks, Shen Taimin's face turned almost green. He gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Shen Zhiting.
Hearing their conversation, Shen Zhiting felt both frustrated and aggrieved. She was so angry that she was about to go crazy, and could only shout some incomprehensible nonsense.
Shen Zhiting felt she had no way to express her bitterness. She was so angry that she wanted to jump out of her hospital bed right now and tear Lin Wanxing apart with her own hands. She felt that Lin Wanxing was the reason she was in this state.
If he hadn't made false accusations, she wouldn't have been punished. If she hadn't been punished, she wouldn't have fallen and ended up in such a miserable state. Shen Zhiting seemed to have forgotten how she had threatened and intimidated Lin Wanxing before. She was very good at shirking responsibility.
She blamed all the mistakes on Lin Wanxing.
Lin Wanxing hid behind Shen Huai'an, holding Shen Huai'an's hand as he looked at Shen Zhiting lying on the bed. Seeing Shen Zhiting's furious expression, Lin Wanxing innocently blinked at Shen Zhiting.
In Shen Zhiting's eyes, this was clearly a provocation. She glared at him, shouting in a fit of rage, but there was nothing she could do.
Ignoring her pain, Shen Zhiting sat up like a madwoman and grabbed a vase from the bedside table, intending to smash it at Lin Wanxing. Lin Wanxing was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Shen Huai'an.
"Second brother, she's going to hit my head! She's going to hit me now!" Lin Wanxing shouted in the ward, looking terrified.
With this shout, Shen Huai'an could finally be certain.
It turns out that Shen Wen's head really was hit by Shen Zhiting. At first, he wasn't quite sure, but after what happened last time and what Xingxing shouted this time, he was now certain.
In full view of everyone, Shen Zhiting was about to attack Lin Wanxing, which confirmed Shen Zhiting's previous accusations.
Seeing his daughter acting like a madwoman, Shen Taimin felt even more ashamed of Shen Zhiting.
He stepped forward and snatched the vase from Shen Zhiting's hand, then slapped her across the face. Shen Taimin pointed at her and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't you have any respect for your elders?"
"You've completely disgraced me. Why are you going crazy for no reason?"
Shim Tae-min is not a good father; he values his own pride more than his daughter.
Shen Zhiting was stunned by his slap, her ears were ringing, and a clear handprint appeared on her cheek. Her face was now even more swollen, looking like a pig's head.
She looked at Shen Taimin with tears in her eyes, then at Lin Wanxing beside her.
She was so angry that she shouted, "I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? You'd better shut up and stop going crazy."
Shen Youqing looked Shen Zhiting up and down. This child used to be quite good, but she didn't know what had happened in the past few years. She had become more and more outrageous, and her temperament and temper had become increasingly crazy.
Shen Zhiting only tries her best to act obedient in front of the old lady.
"Big brother, shouldn't Xiaoting go to the psychiatric ward for treatment?" Shen Youqing said with great concern.
Previously at the dinner table, Shen Zhiting had mocked Lin Wanxing, saying she was abnormal and needed to go to the hospital to have her brain checked. Now it seems that the one who really needs to have her brain checked is Shen Zhiting.
Her actions just now were completely unexpected, terrifying, and truly dangerous.
Lin Wanxing stood there obediently without moving, and no one knew why Shen Zhiting suddenly became so agitated that she wanted to smash the vase against Lin Wanxing.
Lin Wanxing looked at Shen Taimin and said with a wronged expression, "Second brother is very good. Xiaoting called me an idiot, but that's nothing because I'm not very smart to begin with. But she shouldn't have called second brother a cripple."
“She got angry at me and tried to hit me. I was really scared.”
Shen Huai'an shielded the poor little fool behind him, his expression suddenly turning cold and unusually indifferent. It was the first time Shen Youqing had ever seen her usually easy-going second brother show such displeasure.
My second brother is very easygoing and refined. His personality is like a spring breeze, always so warm and gentle, a stark contrast to his frosty face.
Perhaps he was genuinely angry. Second Brother really cares about that silly boy from the Chen family, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a scene.
Shen Huai'an leaned on his cane. His limp was the reason outsiders ridiculed him, and it was also a flaw that many people with ulterior motives had finally managed to seize upon.
When he got into trouble, the media and newspapers reported extensively that he would lose everything and even be kicked out of the Shen Group and become a discarded pawn.
Even worse, some unscrupulous media outlets create sensational public polls, asking people to vote on whether he will disappear within three years or completely collapse within five years.
