Chapter 68: Emotional (2)

During the meal, Elder Shen seemed to have accepted this fact. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t talk about Shen Yu’s feelings and marriage. On the contrary, he talked with Shen Yu about the family’s division matter.

As they expected, the news of Shen Yu’s determination to divide his family set off a lot of waves among the Shen Family.

Many people thought that it was because they deliberately made things difficult for Tang Li which provoked and led to Shen Yu’s impulsive thought. As a result, one after another came and tried to persuade Shen Yu and to keep Shen Yu rationality. They even forced Shen Rong’s parents to come to the door to plead guilty.

In regards to Shen Family’s phone call, Shen Yu did not answer any of it. As well as for Shen Rong’s parents who came to visit, he also asked Kang Lin and Aunt Chen to drive people back.

He already made up his mind and no one can change his decision.

Those people saw that Shen Yu’s side was immune to both soft and hard tactics, so they bribed the reporters and the marketing number on the microblog to make explosive allegations of fake news/information. Thereby, it was putting pressure on Shen Yu.

Originally, Shen Yu was going to ask Kang Lin to contact the microblog management personnel to control the negative comments on the microblog. However, before Kang Lin started to act, the microblog was attacked by hackers. The server was paralyzed overnight and the topic about him disappeared without a trace. Ultimately, it left Water Army1 in baffled to whitewash him.

Shen Yu was asking around, only to guess that Tang Li may be the one behind.

He thought of the software company Tang Li joined and intended to let Kang Lin check it secretly to at least ensure Tang Li’s safety.

Thinking about it, Shen Yu’s train of thoughts unconsciously strayed towards Tang Li.

It was until Elder Shen’s clear cough came from the other side, “What are you thinking about?”

Shen Yu sobered up from a dream: “huh?”

“Huh, what huh? I’m asking you something!” Seeing Shen Yu’s thoughts wandering, Elder Shen didn’t need to guess his grandson, who was in love, where his mind was. For a moment, he was angry. “I ask you when the matter of dividing the family can be done.”

Shen Yu hummed and gave a quick reply in a guilty conscience, “The slowest is three years, and the fastest is one year. I can’t move all of their cakes at once. I can only tear them apart bit by bit. This matter could not be rushed.”

Elder Shen nodded, “You have a good plan.”

Later, the two talked about something else. Naturally, Elder Shen realized that Shen Yu was not in shape, so he didn’t stay much. After dinner, he told Shen Yu to have a good rest and left like the wind.

Outside of the Shen’s house, Uncle Zhang sat in the driver’s seat and waited.

Elder Shen took a seat in the back. Exhausted, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Xiao Zhang, it’s hard on you. After you send me back, quickly go home to eat.”

Uncle Zhang started the car and looked at Elder Shen from the rearview mirror. After a long hesitation, he still couldn’t help but asked softly, “Did you approve it, Master?”

“It’s not the same as before. It’s like peeling his skin to let him have a meal with a girl.” Elder Shen complained.

Uncle Zhang laughed helplessly and comforted him warmly: “Master, you get used to it. You should give him some time. Today’s youngsters just don’t like to get married and have children. Unlike our generation, it’s better let him deal with these things on his own.”

Elder Shen was silent for a full minute and hummed in a low voice.

After that, he didn’t speak anymore.

The atmosphere in the car immediately became dull.

Uncle Zhang thought he had said something wrong. His heart beat heavily for a little while. He quickly glanced at Elder Shen from the rearview mirror a few times. He found that the old man was buried with his face in the shadows. He could not see his expression at the moment.

“Old Master?” Uncle Zhang exclaimed tentatively.

After a long time, Elder Shen said, “It’s nothing. I’m tired. I want to have a rest. When we get to the place, call me again.”

Uncle Zhang said, “Alright.”

Although Elder Shen tried so hard to suppress his own emotions, Uncle Zhang could still hear the sadness in his tone.

Uncle Zhang was startled, and it can’t wipe the surprise that appeared on his face.

And then, Elder Shen could no longer control his sorrow. He covered his face with his hands. There’s dull sobbing coming from the narrow gaps of his fingers and reverberating in the quiet atmosphere.

He didn’t know how long it took. Elder Shen finally cleaned up his emotions and pulled a tissue to wipe the tears on his face.

“Forget about it.” His voice was low. “Just let him.”

It was as if he was talking to himself.

And it was like he was hypnotizing himself.

On the other side, Shen Yu watched the car driving Elder Shen away. He then turned around and walked back slowly.

There was Elder Shen here just now. He was so nervous that he didn’t eat much. Now that he sent him away, he suddenly felt hungry.

Back in the living room, Aunt Chen and others were seen cleaning the table and were chatting while cleaning the dining room.

“Aunt Chen.” Shen Yu walked to the dining room’s door and said, “Please cook me a bowl of noodles and bring it to my study room later.”

Aunt Chen was facing Shen Yu, but she tilted her head to talk something to the servant beside her. It seemed she hadn’t heard Shen Yu’s voice.

“Aunt Chen.” Shen Yu took a few more steps forward.

Unfortunately, Aunt Chen still didn’t respond. Even the two aunts next to her listened attentively to her without even glancing at Shen Yu. It was as if Shen Yu was an invincible man.

Shen Yu was speechless. He directly went behind Aunt Chen and the two aunts2.

“Aunt Chen!”

“Ah?” Aunt Chen was taken aback. She hurriedly turned around, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

Shen Yu sighed, “Cook a bowl of noodles and bring it to my study room.”

Aunt Chen responded quickly, “Alright.”

Shen Yu rubbed his temple and left the dining room at a slow pace.

Aunt Chen and two aunts were still whispering to each other.

“That’s odd. When is the sir back? We were facing the door, yet we didn’t see him.”

“I also would like to say that… When I heard Sir’s voice, Sir was already behind us. It was oddly scary… “

“In the future, when Sir is at home, we had better chat less. After talking for a long time, we didn’t even hear the Sir calling us. It was also our negligence.”
