Chapter 278 Nobody Pays Attention to Old Master Shen
Reading Settings
Neither of them were soldiers, but due to the social environment at the time, the industries they worked in were related to the military industry. Even though they had never fought on the battlefield, they now held a social status in Kyoto that was no less than that of Chen Tuo.
Yan Xiaoqing, the older sister, is ten years older than Yan Liti. Her husband's family is the prestigious Wang family in Kyoto. She herself is a retired professor at Peking University. Although she is now retired, she has many students, and there are countless outstanding ones among them.
This time, Yan Liti came to find her relatives, which they did not know at first.
It was only later, when Yan Liti wanted to investigate the despicable things Shen Qingrong had done, that the Yan family learned, through Yan Xiaoqing's connections, that Yan Liti had a granddaughter who had been left behind.
Upon learning that the person had been found, it turned out to be nothing serious.
The three siblings were genuinely happy for Yan Liti.
Yan Liti is the youngest in her family, nearly seventeen years younger than the eldest, Yan Weiting, and even ten years younger than her older sister, Yan Xiaoqing.
It's no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the three siblings, this youngest sister was raised as their daughter and pampered by them.
Back then, she had poor eyesight and fell for Shen Tuo, who was much older than her. The three siblings initially did not want to agree to it.
However, he truly doted on this younger sister, and in the end, he couldn't resist her insistence and agreed, even allowing her to take away almost half of the Yan family's assets as dowry.
If we say that Yan Liti has remained firmly seated on the throne of the most prestigious lady in Kyoto's elite families all these years, then...
Her son, Shen Qingyan, deserves five parts of the credit, while the other four parts are contributed by Yan Liti's three older brothers and sisters.
In the Yan family, the elders doted on Yan Liti, and the younger generation naturally treated this aunt and uncle with respect.
Especially Yan Liti's eldest nephew, Yan Litian, the current head of the Yan family, is only a few months older than Yan Liti. They grew up together as children and treat this aunt like a great-aunt.
As for the last point, it could be considered a small contribution from Shen Tuo.
This is also why Yan Liti can be so assertive in front of Grandpa Shen.
She wasn't wrong. Without relying on Shen Tuo, but only on herself and her family, Qiao Qiao could become the most precious little princess in the entire capital!
The packages that Qiao Changdong is carrying now were carefully selected and sent by the younger generations of the three siblings of the Yan family, who spent a lot of money to send them over.
"Dongzi? It really is you! I thought I was seeing things."
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Qiao family compound, Qiao Changqing, who had been following them all the way, got out of the car and shouted loudly.
"Goodness!" Li Wenyan's voice came from inside the car even before she got out.
Qiao Qiao was still being held by Yan Lidi, sandwiched between her and Qiao Changdong.
The wind was strong on the motorcycle, and Yan Liti was afraid she would get cold, so she wrapped her in a thick blanket. When she heard Li Wenyan's voice, her eyes lit up, and she turned her head and shouted to the woman running towards her, "Auntie!"
“Oh, my baby, I’ve missed you so much! Do you miss me too? Chirp chirp chirp…” Li Wenyan held the little head she had been longing for day and night and pecked it repeatedly.
"I miss you, I miss my uncle too." Qiao Qiao grinned at Qiao Changqing, who was looking over, and said sweetly.
Qiao Changqing laughed as well, repeatedly saying, "Good boy, good boy."
"This must be Guai Bao's grandma! You look so young!" Li Wenyan exclaimed in amazement as she looked at Yan Liti, who had been smiling throughout but hadn't said a word and maintained a gentle demeanor.
"Maybe it's because I found the person I was looking for. When people are happy, they seem younger," Yan Liti replied with a smile.
Qiao Changdong had already told Qiao Changqing and Li Wenyan about Qiao Qiao's biological father and grandmother coming to find her when he bought the hotel in Baoyi City, so the couple were not surprised to see Yan Liti.
After Li Wenyan had thoroughly admired the little girl, Qiao Changdong came over to formally introduce the three of them.
The group greeted each other amicably at the door, and the Qiao family members in the courtyard also came out upon hearing the noise, creating another lively scene.
Just as the Qiao family was about to help unload everything from the car, the last car following behind also stopped.
Everyone turned to look at the same time.
Yan Liti waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing, you guys go about your business, don't worry about him, he can't cause any trouble."
"..." The Qiao family.
Is that what they care about?
Qiao Changqing pulled Qiao Changdong aside a little and asked him in a low voice, "Is that the car in the back, where Guaibao's biological grandfather is?"
Qiao Changdong nodded.
Then, in the same tone as Yan Liti, he said, "Don't worry about it, just listen to Aunt Yan. Let's move our things in first, and I'll tell you the details later."
But as a soldier, Qiao Changqing knew that his old superior was behind him, so how could he not take it seriously?
Qiao Changqing walked straight over and saluted the person.
Because of this, Old Master Shen naturally followed Qiao Changcai and entered the Qiao family's gate again.
Aside from the day he arrived in Hongfeng Town and entered the Qiao family's courtyard with the Tan family, Old Master Shen did not enter the courtyard again for the next three days.
The Qiao family didn't even invite him, let alone acknowledge his hospitalization.
In the end, he bravely left the hospital on his own.
From that moment on, Old Master Shen knew that the Qiao family did not welcome him.
He was a shy person. If someone didn't invite him, he wouldn't go inside the Qiao family's gate when he came to the Qiao family's place again. He would just park his car outside and wait quietly.
Now that Qiao Changqing had invited him again, while the rest of the Qiao family were moving things, Old Master Shen, thinking he could do it discreetly, tugged at the wheels of his wheelchair twice, hoping to speed things up.
Thanks to the good weather these past two days, it's been sunny the whole time.
The muddy road had finally dried, and the Qiao family had laid a layer of coal ash on it. Otherwise, even if Grandpa Shen stirred the wheels of his wheelchair until they sparked, he still wouldn't be able to roll it!
"..." The Qiao family members, who were ostensibly moving things but were actually glancing sideways at Old Master Shen's movements, all twitched at the corners of their mouths.
There's an inexplicable feeling that the filter of the old cadre's inviolable dignity has been abruptly extinguished.
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, Old Master Shen was carried inside by Qiao Changqing and Wei Xingzhi.
He watched as his wheelchair finally landed in the Qiao family's courtyard.
Old Master Shen let out a barely perceptible sigh.
Shen Qingrong's situation was too complicated, and Qiao Changdong didn't tell Qiao Changqing about it on the phone.
When Shen Qingyan published the statement severing his relationship with his son, he and Li Wenyan were on the train. Naturally, they were unaware that the relationship between Old Master Shen and Qiao Qiao's biological parents had deteriorated to an irreconcilable point.
Qiao Changqing also invited Grandpa Shen to have lunch at the Qiao family home.
Of course, during this process, apart from Qiao Changqing who was unaware of the situation, no one paid any attention to Old Master Shen.
