My Genius Sister is Only Seven!?

Shen Yu's heart was melted by how the girl held his arm so closely. He reached out and patted Emily's head. How could he refuse the request of such a cute little girl?

Shen Yu and Emily were happily eating take-out, but the atmosphere at the Shen family's old residence was completely different.

When Shen Yan returned, he heard the butler talk about what happened at home. His face turned dark, and Shen Nan stood in the middle of the main hall in fear.

The chairs in the hall were filled with people. Almost everyone who lived in the Shen family's old residence was there.

Shen Nan's mother, Third Aunt, felt sorry for her youngest son who was standing at the center of the family's attention. However, she didn't dare to say anything. She knew very well that the more she tried to help Shen Nan, the heavier the punishment Shen Nan would receive.

Shen Yan looked at Shen Nan without saying a word.

Shen Nan stood still, his expression clearly saying that he didn't think he did anything wrong.

In his mind, Shen Nan kept recalling what Shen Xue had told him just now.

"Brother Shen Nan, I... I think Fifth Brother did it on purpose. Fifth Brother dragged Emily away on purpose. As long as Fifth Brother doesn't leave, even if Emily leaves, Grandpa will surely not blame you."

When Shen Nan heard Shen Xue's words, he came to a sudden realization. He felt that what Shen Xue said was not implausible. In fact, it was rather logical.

Even if Emily left the Shen family, no one would not blame Shen Xue for an outsider. However, if Shen Nan left along with her, it would be a different matter altogether.

After all, his Fifth Brother, Shen Nan, was one of the most important people in the family.

"Father, I think Shen Nan already knows that he's wrong. Would it be alright if I told Shen Nan to bring Shen Yu and Emi back?"

Third Aunt looked nervously at Shen Nan who continued to stand silently in the middle of the hallway. The stubborn expression on his face showed that he had not realized his mistake at all.

If he said anything that further angered Shen Yan, it would be difficult for this to end well.

"I didn't do anything wrong."

Shen Nan didn't realize that his mother was trying to help him. He only felt that he was wrongfully accused.

"Look at this. This is the good son that you've raised."

When Shen Yan heard Shen Nan's words, he was so furious that he smacked the handle of the armchair beside him.

"Butler, get me the Family Law."

"Dad, you can't do that."

Third Aunt's body tensed up the moment Shen Yan mentioned the 'Family Law'. She quickly walked to the center of the hall and smacked Shen Nan on the back.

"You little rascal, spoilt child, don't you know that you've crossed the line?"

Third Aunt hit Shen Nan again and again. She didn't dare to relax the strength in her hands. If they really took out the Family Law, it won't just be a few smacks on the back.

"Mom, Mom, don't hit me anymore. I know I'm wrong now."

All of Shen Nan's determination dissipated into the air the moment Third Aunt started slapping his back. He started trying to dodge the hits, scrambling in all directions.

But how could Third Aunt let Shen Nan escape so easily? She grabbed Shen Nan's hand, held him in place, and continued to hit him.

"Mom, I really know that I'm wrong. I really know I'm wrong now. Don't hit me anymore."

Shen Nan was still a child after all. No matter how much conviction he had that he was right, it was all but gone after a good beating.

"Alright, alright. Third Aunt, stop hitting him. We don't want anything serious to happen to him."

Old Lady Shen was sitting beside Shen Yan and saw Shen Nan jumping up and down from his mother's beating. No matter what, Shen Nan was still her grandson. She to felt pitiful from the bottom of her heart when she saw Shen Nan being beaten up.

Third Aunt had been waiting for her to say that. Her heart wrenched when she saw her son in such a pitiful state under her own hands.

"Yes, Shen Nan is still a child. How can his playful words be taken seriously?"

Although the Second Aunt sympathized with Emily and felt that Shen Nan's words and actions were rather inappropriate, Shen Nan had already been taught a lesson by his mother. It was enough.

Moreover, Old Lady Shen had already stood up for Shen Nan. That should be enough reason for this to stop.

"It's not... It's not a joke..."

Shen Nan sobbed. He wiped off tears with shaky hands and walked to her mother's side and tugged on Third Aunt's arm.

"Fifth Brother... Fifth Brother did it on purpose... Fifth Brother is biased towards Emily... I'm not wrong."

Shen Nan couldn't stop sobbing and had to take several deep breaths before he finished the sentence.

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard Shen Nan's words. He sat back on the armchair and snorted coldly.

"You better explain yourself properly. If you don't, you won't be able to escape from the Family Law today." Third Aunt hurriedly tugged on Shen Nan, hinting at him to stop talking at once.

She suddenly felt a little resentful at how disobedient Shen Nan was. Why did this kid still not understand the seriousness of the situation at this point? She had already hit him and punished him, so why did he still want to continue making his grandfather angry?
