“Xun…”
Elder Shen patted him on the hand and gave him a look.
Shen Xun smiled slightly. His cracking voice was raspy and rough. “How could I? Since you’re my elder, I would never lay a hand on you. But I have a suggestion: eyes are a precious commodity. If you don’t need it, you can donate it to someone who does.”
“You…” Auntie Four glared at him. “What do you mean by that? Are you insulting me? Dad, look at this grandson of yours!”
Shen Xun shrugged his shoulders. “The examination report clearly says that grandfather’s illness has improved. I remember Auntie Four has gone through higher education; you wouldn’t want a badly educated person to teach you how to read, right?”
He raised an eyebrow and sneered as his gaze swept across everyone.
His words were directed at Auntie Four, but his warning was for everyone.
Elder Shen laughed out loud and clapped his hands. “Well said, Xun!” He then glared at Auntie Four. “Leave! Stop being an eyesore!”
“Dad!” Auntie Four’s face turned red in displeasure.
“Go! I don’t want to hear your voice,” Elder Shen said before he commanded the bodyguards coldly, “Drag her out. Without my permission, don’t let her in again!”
“Dad! I’m not leaving! How could you do this to me…Dad…”
Auntie Four struggled, but the two bodyguards dragged her out.
Previously, everyone was arguing in front of Elder Shen without any care. Now that he showed them some power, they were finally awoken. The man sitting on the bed was a person who had led the Shen Family through the complex upper society; his power could not be extinguished by a simple illness.
“From now on, if anyone dares to say something that I don’t like, they will end up the same as her.”
Elder Shen’s gaze was cold. Now that his swelling had subsided, his energy levels had improved, and he was much more powerful than when he was sick.
“I can make a decision with my own body. You have no right to comment! If you want to stay and watch, then go ahead. If not, then leave with Four!”
When Elder Shen lost his temper, no one dared to retaliate.
Mrs. Shen smiled. “Dad, we were just worried about you. Xun, where did you get this prescription from? Where is the doctor? Your father and I will go ask the doctor to cure your grandfather!”
What a joke. Others may want Elder Shen to die quickly, but Mrs. Shen saw through it all. Elder Shen could not die! Only if he stayed alive would her husband’s position as the head of the family remain stable.
Otherwise…
As she thought this, she began to grow more determined.
“Hey, Sister-in-law, how could you word it like that? What about us? We want to go too!”
“That’s right. He’s our father too. We don’t feel good seeing him sick either!”
Shen Xun crossed his legs and listened lazily to them. He grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and asked, “Grandfather, do you want some?”
Elder Shen replied happily, “Yes!”
After hearing this, Shen Xun grabbed his fruit knife and started cutting the apple.
The grandfather and grandson were practically in their own world. While everyone else was ridiculing each other, they were completely unaffected. Shen Xun cut the apple into pieces and handed it to Elder Shen after washing it with hot water.
They shared one apple between the two of them.
When he turned around, Shen Xun yawned. They were taking so long, the fruit knife was almost fused to his hand.
“Are you still trying to come to a consensus? Why don’t I tell you who it is, and you can go together,” he said tiredly.
Everyone looked at Shen Xun. His arrogant expression made them furious.
“Who is it?”
