"The past? Shen Yuzhu, do you have a guilty conscience? Have you ever thought that I might not come back?" Grandpa Shen asked him. "What do you want to do here today? Were all those things you said in the newspaper false?"
Shen Yuzhu was furious and embarrassed. "That was just a temporary measure. I had no other choice at the time. Father, I just wanted a son so badly. I can't let our Shen family line die out."
"Shen Yuzhu, are you trying to fool yourself or me with these words? I feel I've already lost out by having a descendant like you, let alone your son." Grandpa Shen had long since let go of the past. Now that Banxia has inherited the Shen family's medical skills, he has no regrets.
As for Shen Yuzhu's thoughts, he had them before, but after being sent down to the countryside, he witnessed too much joy and sorrow, and those things were insignificant in the face of human life.
"Father, do you really want the Shen family line to end before you're happy? My Kongqing is dating now, and your great-grandchild will be born soon. Aren't you happy?" Shen Yuzhu couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of four generations living under one roof.
"Shen Yuzhu, you still haven't figured it out? I don't even want you as my son anymore, so do you think I would care about my so-called grandsons and great-grandsons?" It wasn't that Grandpa Shen wanted to be so heartless; after seeing everything clearly, he had long since stopped caring.
Grandpa Shen might not care, but Shen Yuzhu couldn't. "Dad, how did you become like this? Everything I did was for the good of our Shen family. You know, Kong Qing has always liked traditional Chinese medicine. Unlike me, he's not interested in it. With him, our Shen family's medical skills will definitely flourish in the future."
Shen Yuzhu became more and more excited as she spoke, "At that time, our Shen family will definitely regain its former glory, no, perhaps even more powerful than before."
"You're overthinking it. The only thing that's difficult is being a doctor who treats and saves lives. They don't have as much ambition as you do," Grandpa Shen shook his head. He didn't know where he had gone wrong in his parenting, raising such an ambitious son. Everything he did was a result of weighing the pros and cons.
Shen Yuzhu roared, "Did I do something wrong? If I don't have power, everyone can trample on me. I don't want to end up like that."
"Shen Yuzhu, let me reiterate: those who walk different paths cannot work together. Our father-son relationship has long since ended."
"Father, I am your only son, and you are getting old."
Even though she already knew what kind of person her son was, she still couldn't help but feel chilled when she heard these words.
"Go away, and don't come back. Your mother and I have never expected you to support us in our old age. Banxia is enough for us." At first, the old wife didn't understand either. But over the past two years, she had become aware of Shen Yuzhu and her husband's thoughts, and her heart grew cold.
But Shen Yuzhu didn't understand. "A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. She has her own family. How could she possibly take care of you in your old age? I think they're just after the good things you have. Father, don't be fooled by her."
Grandpa Shen was furious. "Shen Yuzhu, that's your own daughter, not your enemy. Your mother and I raised her. We know her better than you do. If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have let Shu Tong marry you in the first place."
These words acted as a fuse. "Fine, I knew it! Dad, wasn't it you who leaked the story about me and Liu Yun? I just wanted a son. I never planned to divorce Shu Tong. Wouldn't it be better to let Shu Tong raise him as her own son?"
"Get out, get out of here!" Grandpa Shen never expected that Shen Yuzhu could say such shameless words.
“I’m not leaving. Why should I leave? This is my home too. Dad, I came back today for Kong Qing’s wedding. You have so many houses, give him one,” Shen Yuzhu said matter-of-factly.
“Shen Yuzhu, do you think I really wouldn’t dare to hit you? Get as far away from me as possible. I don’t have a son like you. Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Let me tell you, your mother and I have already given everything we have to Banxia. You don’t have a single penny,” Grandpa Shen said, not minding telling him in advance.
Shen Yuzhu was dumbfounded.
Liu Yun immediately became anxious, "Father-in-law, how could you do this? I, Kong Qing, am your own grandson, how could you give me to an outsider?"
"Get out, all of you get out!"
Having learned of such a serious matter, how could Shen Yuzhu and the others possibly want to leave?
The two kept pestering Grandpa Shen, trying to get him to change his mind.
Grandpa Shen remained unmoved, but Shen Yuzhu went straight to look through the property deeds. He refused to believe that everything should be given to Shen Banxia.
Grandpa Shen tried to stop him, but Shen Yuzhu brushed him aside.
Grandpa Shen lost his balance and bumped into the corner of the table.
Liu Yun's terrified voice came through, "Shen Yuzhu, something bad has happened, she's bleeding."
Shen Yuzhu then came to her senses and looked at the old man lying in a pool of blood, "How, how could this happen?"
Seeing his stunned expression, Liu Yun couldn't help but roar, "Hurry up and save him! Do you want to end up in jail?"
Shen Yuzhu performed emergency first aid with trembling hands and then found someone to take the old man to the hospital.
Such a commotion had already startled the neighbors, who assumed it was just like any other day.
In any case, Shen Yuzhu and her husband have been coming here quite often in the past two years.
Unexpectedly, something bad happened today.
When Shen Banxia and the others arrived, the old man was being treated in the emergency room.
Grandma Shen looked at Shen Yuzhu standing to the side and slapped her hard across the face.
"Snap!" The old lady used all her strength.
Shen Yuzhu explained, "I didn't do it on purpose. I just waved my hand. I didn't expect it. How was I supposed to know I would bump into the table?"
"Get out—", Grandma Shen didn't want to hear him speak.
Without saying a word, Shen Banxia dragged Shen Yuzhu away. Shen Yuzhu couldn't struggle and was dragged away like a dead dog. For Shen Yuzhu, who cared a lot about his reputation, this was worse than being killed.
"You unfilial daughter, let me go! I am your father."
"Shen Yuzhu, you'd better pray that Grandpa is alright, otherwise, I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead."
"Shen Banxia, I am your biological father, how dare you treat me like this?" Shen Yuzhu's voice was filled with fear.
"You wouldn't want to know, but Traditional Chinese Medicine can do more than just save lives."
The calmer she was, the clearer Shen Banxia's mind became. She thought of the Poison Manual that her grandfather had taken away when she was a child, and for some reason, it became increasingly clear in her mind at this moment.
Shen Yuzhu looked at Shen Banxia, who had a calm expression, and finally dared not say anything more.
Liu Yun, on the other hand, was trying her best to minimize her presence. She never expected Shen Yuzhu to be so crazy. If she wasn't mistaken, he wouldn't have saved his father at all if it weren't for her words.
At that moment, Liu Yun felt as if she were soaking in an icy pool, chilled to the bone.
