Chapter 378 Either drown or become mute

At the same time, Yan Liti's sarcastic, ambiguous voice came from behind.

"You like it fast? Was that fast enough this time? Did you get the rhythm? Want me to push you around again?"

"..." Old Master Shen.

"Why aren't you making a sound? Stop fiddling around now? Weren't you shoveling things up pretty fast just now?" Yan Liti continued to sneer.

"..." Old Master Shen.

Old Master Shen tried to speak, but the cold wind made him cough.

Moreover, he had been exposed to a lot of cold wind when Yan Liti pushed him to run quickly, but he forced himself to suppress his cough.

Now, once I start coughing, I can't suppress it at all; I cough so hard that my entire upper body bends over.

It felt like I was about to cough up my lungs.

But Yan Liti didn't soften her heart. Instead, she put on a stern face, walked to his side, frowned at him, and asked, "Why are you coughing like this? Are you sick?"

Yan Liti became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her words eventually turned into accusations.

"Chen Tuo, do you have any conscience? You know I'm holding a family reunion banquet for the baby today. Don't you know how important this banquet is? Why did you come when you're sick? Are you afraid the baby is too healthy?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen hurriedly waved his hand and dared not cough anymore, his face turning red from holding it in.

He explained, "I'm not sick. I just caught a chill, which is why I'm coughing."

"real?"

"real!"

Old Master Shen was so eager to raise his finger and swear an oath.

"Alright then, I'll give you two choices now."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Stop coughing, let me finish." Yan Liti frowned, her tone very impatient.

"Cough..." Old Master Shen covered his mouth.

This time, not only did her face turn red, but her eyes also turned red and became moist.

Yan Liti looked at Old Master Shen in silence for a long while. When Old Master Shen's expression became somewhat uneasy, she finally asked, "You... regret it?"

Yan Liti couldn't quite explain how she felt, but she just felt uncomfortable.

What she really wanted to ask was, "Is it really necessary to adopt such a humble and pitiful posture now? What were you doing all this time?"

She did give him chances; on the contrary, she gave him many chances.

She could let bygones be bygones regarding the past, her marriage with him, and her son's career.

But she couldn't let go of Qiao Qiao's matter.

At first.

The person in front of him, even if only verbally expressed, showed that he was willing to believe them, rather than immediately questioning them and taking Shen Qingrong's side.

They shouldn't have come to this!

However, even though she was thinking about asking these questions, Yan Liti didn't actually ask them. In fact, she didn't even give Old Master Shen a chance to answer her previous question before continuing.

"Now, listen to me, two choices."

"First, once you go in, you must act as a mute. You are not allowed to utter a single word, not even a syllable!"

She was really annoyed with Old Master Shen. To what extent? To the point that even hearing him utter a single syllable would upset her.

"One way is to push you into the pool right now and drown you! That way you won't keep lingering in front of me anymore, and it'll be the end of it!"

Which one do you want to choose?

Although Grandpa Shen knew that Yan Liti couldn't possibly have pushed him into the pool to drown, he still knew that Yan Liti was capable of doing so.

However, the possibility that she might push herself into the pool is not entirely out of the question.

Although his heart and throat ached, Old Master Shen had no choice but to select the first option.

"I won't be able to speak after I go in." His voice became extremely hoarse as he suppressed his cough.

Three minutes later.

The two returned to the house one after the other.

Yan Liti walked in front.

Grandpa Shen followed behind in his wheelchair, with a bodyguard behind him.

The bodyguard was specifically assigned to follow Old Master Shen and monitor his muteness. Yan Liti even ordered the bodyguard not to help Old Master Shen push his wheelchair, but to make him pull the wheels himself.

The two entered one after the other, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

Grandpa Tan had already lost that game of chess, and now Tan Hongwei was playing against Fu Yu.

Others continued to watch.

Losing to an eight or nine-year-old child in front of so many younger people made Grandpa Tan feel very uncomfortable, and his lips pursed up.

Unfortunately, there was an old man named Chang standing nearby, relentlessly teasing him.

He was so angry that his eyebrows shot up.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he said to the person in an annoyed tone, "Don't talk about me like that. Go try it yourself. You talk as if you can win. Your skills are not as good as mine."

Old Master Chang, however, was not provoked by him. He just chuckled and sipped his tea, saying, "Yes, yes, I am not as good as you, so I will not embarrass myself." The implication was that only he was embarrassing himself.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Tan snorted again in annoyance.

Then, in the blink of an eye, she saw Old Master Shen following behind Yan Liti, pulling himself in through the wheelchair. Her squinty eyes lit up immediately.

The two elderly people picked up their teacups almost simultaneously, took a sip, and looked at each other for a few seconds.

Then, the two of them lowered their eyes at the same time, put down their teacups, and walked quickly toward Old Master Shen.

As he walked, Grandpa Tan greeted everyone warmly, "Old Shen, you've arrived!"

"Quick, you play a round with this kid too. Let me tell you, his skills are really good. You should experience it for yourself." This feeling of embarrassment!!!

Chang Zhongjie chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, we've all played against him, this kid's skills are really good."

As Chang Zhongjie spoke, he waved to Wei Xingzhi, who was about to help push the wheelchair when he saw Old Master Shen come in, and pushed Old Master Shen to the chessboard where the game had temporarily stopped.

When Grandpa Shen saw Grandpa Tan and Grandpa Chang walking towards him, he was stunned for a moment.

He heard from Old Master Zhong at the sanatorium that the Tan family had been invited, so he wasn't surprised that Old Master Tan was here.

But to Mr. Shen's surprise, Chang Zhongjie was also there.

Chang Zhongjie was invited, but his own grandfather was turned away at the door, which made Old Master Shen feel even more upset and hurt.
