Chapter 246: It Is Difficult For An Honest Official To Settle Family Affairs
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Not long after Emily left, Old Madam Shen called out to Shen Yan in a low voice. She waved her hand, and Shen Yan hurriedly helped Old Madam Shen up and sat her down.
“When did you wake up?” Shen Yan’s face darkened. Old Madam Shen probably didn’t know how to face Emily, so she simply pretended to be asleep. That was why she waited for Emily to leave before waking up.
Shen Yan’s heart ached when he saw Old Madam Shen’s tired face.
“I actually woke up when Millie came in. I saw that the two of you had something to say, so I pretended that I didn’t wake up. I didn’t expect that the topic of your conversation would be so heavy.”
After Old Madam Shen finished speaking, she coughed a few times, feeling very uncomfortable. Shen Yan hurriedly handed the glass of water to Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen took two sips and pushed the glass away, shaking her head.
“Actually, you can tell Millie. That child is so smart, she will understand you. If I hadn’t stopped it back then, nothing would have happened to Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhe now. This is all my fault.”
Shen Yan frowned. He immediately reprimanded, “What are you saying? You are my wife, and Eldest is also my son. Naturally, I have to protect him. Millie is right. If I hadn’t protected Eldest too much back then, nothing would have happened to Xiao Zhe and Xiao Yu. Fortunately, Xiao Yu is smart and can avoid this disaster.”
“But, old man, we were wrong in the end. We sent our eldest son and his family abroad and allowed them to develop freely. We thought that it was good for them and the family, but we didn’t fulfill our duty as parents. It was because we didn’t teach our children well that we let our grandchildren suffer. Millie was right, we were wrong. We shouldn’t have let our eldest son and his family suffer like this.”
“What else can we do? It’s said that it’s difficult for honest officials to resolve family affairs. The palm of the hand and the back of the hand are all flesh. We’ve already lost Fourth Brother. Do we still have to lose our eldest?” Shen Yan’s eyes could not help but redden.
He also understood that this was unfair to Fourth Brother’s family. However, the deceased had already passed away. He could not accept another death. It would be good to experience such a thing once.
Old Madam Shen sighed again and shook her head in disappointment. “Ah, you. Why are you becoming more and more narrow-minded as you get older? Millie, that child, is so kind-hearted. Do you really think that she’s here to force you to make a choice?”
“This person is old and has to submit to old age. The two of us are already on the verge of death. Don’t tell me that we can still protect the people in our family for the rest of our lives? Each one of them has their own fortune. Just like Millie said, do you really think that Second and Third are fools? After investigating for so many years, they really didn’t find anything? It’s just that they don’t want to chill our hearts. Do we have to chill the children’s hearts?”
“Then tell me, what should we do?”
“Just wait for the children to make their own choices. What will the final outcome be for everyone? It all depends on their own fortune. You and I are both old. It’s time to let go.” After saying that, Old Madam Shen coughed lightly again.
After so many years of hardships, Old Madam Shen could roughly guess what Shen Yan was thinking. Shen Yan was still not as heartless as her.
“I’ll listen to you. Let the children decide for themselves. I don’t care what the final outcome will be.” In the end, Joseph ended the conversation with Shen Yan’s compromise.
Only then did Old Madam Shen heave a sigh of relief. Actually, Emily was only thinking about Shen Yan’s attitude.
On the other side, Emily did not go to the living room. Instead, she went straight to her room and called Shen Yu. However, she could not get through to him. It seemed that Shen Yu was on the plane at the moment. She might as well go downstairs and coax Shen Lu to sleep first.
However, she did not know what Shen Lu had eaten today. He just did not want to sleep. Helpless, Emily could only bring him to her room and play an animated cartoon for him. She hoped that it would exhaust Shen Lu’s energy.
Emily accompanied Shen Lu to watch the animated cartoon and felt a little bored. She picked up her phone and was about to send a message to Jiang Xin to ask about Shen Zhe’s situation when she saw a message from Shen Yu. “I’m already here. I’ll contact you after I’ve arranged things here.”
Emily could not wait for Shen Yu to make a voice call. Soon, the call was about to be picked up. “Brother…”
“Sorry, Yu is taking a shower.”
A voice came from the other end of the line. A shower? The two of them were still together this late at night?
The female voice came from the other end of the line. It should be early in the morning, and Shen Yu had just gotten off the plane. So, the two of them were together as soon as Shen Yu got off the plane?
“I’m sorry,” Emily quickly apologized and hung up the phone. Emily hugged her legs and began to cry.. Was there anything she could say to explain for Shen Yu now? She felt that she could not comfort herself.
