Chapter 151 The mother and her two daughters went to Grandpa Shen to complain.

"Oh dear, what's going on? Get up, get up quickly!" After a few seconds of stunned silence, the cleaning staff reacted, exclaimed, and came over to help the person up.

But she forgot that she was holding a feather duster, and when she reached out to help the person, the feather duster was waved twice.

It landed squarely on the faces of the mother and her two daughters who were kneeling in front of the door.

The three women all turned pale.

Just as Bi Yatong was about to get angry, she caught a glimpse of Shen Tuo being pushed in by the guards inside the door, and immediately swallowed back the reprimand that was about to come out.

She even forced a smile to show her magnanimity: "It's okay, I just lost my balance and tripped."

As she spoke, she reached out to pull her two daughters beside her.

Shen Li is the youngest in the family, and everyone usually indulges her. She is the least likely to hide her emotions, and now someone has brushed a feather duster on her face.

She angrily slapped the cleaner's hand away, glaring at her with utter disdain.

She yelled in utter disgust, "Don't touch me, you're filthy!"

Bi Yatong was afraid that her spoiled nature would displease Shen Tuo, so she pinched her waist. Only then did Shen Li remember what Bi Yatong had said at home.

He shut his mouth in a huff.

Although he stopped swearing, he still glared at people with a particularly fierce look in his eyes.

Bi Yatong patted her again as a warning, then coughed and looked at the two people who had already reached the door.

Bi Yatong has been married into the Shen family for ten years, but the number of times she has seen Old Master Shen is less than five fingers' worth.

In her memory, the old man was undoubtedly very serious.

Although he is seventy years old, he looks no more than fifty. Perhaps because he came from the battlefield, even if he does nothing, just sitting there, his eyes are so sharp and piercing that people dare not look him in the eye.

Especially when he had no smile on his face and didn't speak, his imposing presence made it difficult for her to breathe.

In the past, she would avoid getting close to him whenever possible. It was her husband, Shen Qingrong, who would bring the children to visit him at the sanatorium, about once a month.

Now, facing this old man alone, Bi Yatong began to feel genuinely afraid.

She quickly pushed the two children in front of her again and said at the same time, "Lu'er, Li'er, quickly greet them. Don't you always talk about wanting to come see your grandfather at home? Why are you shy in front of people?"

"Grandpa Shen."

"Grandpa Shen."

Shen Lu and Shen Li then called for help at the same time.

Actually, they were also afraid of this old man.

In the past, with Shen Qingrong acting as a mediator, they barely dared to move forward. Now that Shen Qingrong is not around, their first reaction is to each grab one of Bi Yatong's legs and hide behind her, their calls for help weak and timid.

Shen Tuo sighed inwardly as he looked at the three women, who were frightened but had no choice but to come closer to him.

He knew, of course, that the three men were afraid of him, but as people get older, they become afraid of being alone.

He was no exception.

Especially since his wife and son are almost never close to him.

He longed to hold onto those few remaining moments of warmth.

Seeing the two girls avoiding him, he softened his expression slightly and turned to the guard behind him: "Xiao Wei, go and get the kids that cake that Lao Tan brought last time."

Seeing the old man's face soften and his offer to get her something delicious, the fear on Shen Lu and Shen Li's faces dissipated.

Bi Yatong breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought to herself that it seemed Old Master Shen really did love her two daughters.

If that's the case, then things become much easier.

She smiled and said with a grin, "No wonder the two of them always insist on coming to see you at home. It turns out you spoil them so much, always thinking of saving the best food for them."

The guard went to the room and returned half a minute later with a beautifully packaged pastry.

Bi Yatong pretended to be surprised.

"Was this bought in Shanghai? I heard there are long queues and it's very difficult to buy."

"Uncle Shen, you really spoil them too much."

"No wonder they always want to come and see you."

"..."

Bi Yatong was actually a little afraid of Shen Tuo. Although she said some flattering things, she kept repeating the same two sentences over and over again.

Shen Tuo glanced at her indifferently, without saying a word.

On the contrary, Bi Yatong stopped awkwardly after speaking a few times.

Shen Lu and Shen Li were eating pastries.

Grandpa Shen watched them eat.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became tense.

Just as Bi Yatong was worrying about what to do next, Shen Tuo asked, "Why didn't Xiao Rong come?"

When Bi Yatong heard him ask the question, her eyes lit up immediately.

The next second, she clenched her fist, digging her nails into her palm, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

She glanced at Old Master Shen, seemingly unsure how to begin, and then looked away with reddened eyes.

Old Master Shen frowned.

He disliked this shy and timid nature.

He turned to look at Shen Lu and Shen Li.

"You tell me."

Shen Li was still a little confused, but Shen Lu had already remembered Bi Yatong's instructions when she was at home.

She put down the pastries and knelt down in front of Shen Tuo.

She burst into tears, pleading, "Grandpa Shen, please save my dad! Uncle Shen is about to beat him to death!"

At this moment, Shen Li also remembered the purpose of her visit and started crying along with her sister.

The mother and her two daughters were all sobbing, wiping away tears from time to time; they looked incredibly pitiful.

Old Master Shen's expression was not good.

Then, through the mother and her two daughters' intermittent narration, they learned the whole story.

certainly.

Bi Yatong omitted the parts that were unfavorable to her family, only saying that Shen Qingyan seemed to have some misunderstanding about them.

On the night of their children's birthday party, in front of the entire city of Kyoto, he beat up Shen Qingrong, causing her to break two ribs and remain in the hospital unable to get up.

Bi Yatong lowered her voice, wiping away her tears and choking back sobs as she said, "Uncle Chen, I don't know why Ayan misunderstood us, but if we really did something wrong, we can apologize."

“In Kyoto, your family is the only relative we have left. When my father passed away, he said that he and you were very close and that he always treated you like a younger brother.”

"He repeatedly told us not to have any grudges against you, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest in peace in the afterlife."

"But...but now we have let him down..."

“It’s nothing that Qingrong got hurt, but if our two families develop any rift because of this misunderstanding, we will really be unable to eat or sleep, and we won’t be able to face Qingrong’s father in the future.”

Bi Yatong choked up and couldn't speak anymore when she got to this point.

Shen Lu and Shen Li also started sobbing.
