On the other side, the old lady hid in the Ci'an Hall, took out her Buddhist prayer beads, and devoutly chanted sutras in front of the Buddha statue.
The old butler stood beside the old lady the whole time. "Madam, what do you think of the second young master?"
The old woman closed her eyes, and the Buddhist scriptures she was reciting slowly stopped.
She opened her eyes, looked at the Buddha statue above, and said earnestly, "Very good, very intelligent, and has a business mind. Most importantly, he can handle many things on his own and can manage everything in an orderly manner without any help. I admire him the most."
"Shin Tae-min doesn't have his skills. If I had known that the second son could achieve such success, he must have put in a lot of effort."
Many projects over the years have been handled by Shen Huai'an. Even the new urban area project, which was originally going to be abandoned, underwent a major overhaul under his leadership.
"Although he is like this, he is very ruthless. Now it's my turn to deal with the people he wants to get rid of."
Unlike Shen Taimin, the old lady wouldn't be at the mercy of others. Over the years, she has been quite well-regarded by everyone in the Shen family.
The second son will really have to work hard if he wants to deal with me.
The old butler sighed and said, "The second young master has arrived; he's in the front hall."
A hint of surprise flashed across the old lady's eyes. At this time, Shen Huai'an's sudden visit could not be anything good. Her intuition told her that Shen Huai'an's visit was ill-intentioned.
The old lady walked towards the front hall and saw Shen Taimin standing there without moving, which surprised her slightly.
"Second son, what brings you here?" the old lady asked as she walked over.
Shen Huai'an straightened up, still maintaining his respect for the old lady.
"I wanted to come see you, Grandma. Have you heard about Xiaodong?"
The old lady frowned: "Xiao Dong? What happened to Xiao Dong?"
Shen Huai'an made no attempt to hide anything, "He's dead. He was murdered in the hospital."
The old lady's face turned pale immediately. "That child, Xiao Dong, how could he... how could he? He was perfectly fine, how could he have caused such a thing?"
Lin Wanxing followed Shen Huai'an and peeked out to take a closer look at the old lady. This old lady was really strange.
When she heard that Xiao Dong had died, she wasn't as heartbroken as she had imagined.
Xie Xiaodong was closest to this old woman, wasn't he? It was she who arranged for Xie Xiaodong to be by his second brother's side, which ultimately caused him and his second brother to have constant conflicts. All of this was done by this old woman.
"Xiao Dong, such a good child, how could such a thing happen?" The old lady looked heartbroken. She patted her chest and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"
Shen Huai'an thought for a moment, "No, but the police have surveillance footage. I watched the footage and found that the murderer looks a bit like someone."
"Who does he look like?" the old lady asked casually. "We don't all know him, do we?"
“It’s my older brother. The way he walks and the way he looks from behind are just like my older brother, but I didn’t see his face.”
"Taemin? How could it be Taemin?" The old lady was also taken aback.
“How could Taemin do such a thing? He’s still a member of the Shen family. Doing something like this would only bring shame to the entire Shen family.”
"I spoiled Taemin too much, and that's why he's turned out like this," the old lady sighed.
She was a little unsteady on her feet, and the butler immediately helped her up.
"Are you alright?" Shen Huai'an asked with some concern.
The old lady absolutely cannot have anything happen to her right now; he still has so much to do.
So the old lady absolutely must not have any accidents.
The old housekeeper helped her sit down slowly and poured her a glass of water.
"Taemin, what's gotten into him? Why would he kill Xiaodong? This madman, if word gets out, he'll completely disgrace the Shen family."
The old lady still couldn't understand it all. Where did Taemin and Xiaodong get such a deep-seated hatred?
Xiao Dong even helped Shim Tae-min before, how did he end up like this?
"So many things happened so suddenly, I really can't accept that my best friend was killed by his own brother. Xiao Dong was my best friend in my life."
Lin Wanxing blinked and reached out to tug at Shen Huai'an's clothes. "Second brother, don't be sad. Don't overthink things."
Lin Wanxing was terrified that her second brother would fall into sadness again because of Xie Xiaodong's situation.
The old lady took a few sips of water and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That bastard, Shen Taimin, how could he do such a thing? Xiao Dong is a child who grew up around us, and he calls Taimin 'big brother' too. How could he do such a thing?"
"If he gets caught, what will the whole of Jiangcheng think of our Shen family? The media will definitely not let this go, and then the Shen family will really become a laughing stock."
