Before, when her son was arrested, she begged Mr. Shen to save him, but not only did Mr. Shen refuse to help, he even ordered them not to get involved. Her Ah Zhe had to endure such suffering for so many days.
And now, to invite this wretched girl into the house, it’s clearly because he sees the third as promising, stomping on their second branch to curry favor with the third.
Mr. Shen cast a cold glance at Second Mrs. Shen, witnessing her dissatisfaction. He then looked in Shen Weiyi’s direction, and promptly spoke out, "Today, I’ve called everyone together to have a family meal, not to listen to you quarrel. Whoever makes a fuss can leave."
Second Mrs. Shen held back but couldn’t restrain herself, and with a sarcastic tone said, "Dad, I know the third is successful now, and you only have eyes for the third, looking down on our second branch. We of the second branch carry little weight, overlooked by everyone. But even if our second branch is lacking, we are still part of the Shen Family. Ah Zhe, after all, is a descendant of the Shen Family, your legitimate grandson. You knew this girl caused him to be taken away by the police, you didn’t help us make our case, and now you invite this girl here, it’s clearly a slap in the face to our second branch."
"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting in front of Dad?" Second Mrs. Shen’s words had barely fallen when they were interrupted by the voice of Second Uncle Shen, who had hurried over.
Second Mrs. Shen usually feared Mr. Shen greatly, but right now, fueled by either resentment towards Shen Weiyi or long-held grievances, she vented without restraint, "Am I wrong? My poor Ah Zhe, when has he ever suffered ? Yet he was framed by his own cousin and locked up in that kind of place, am I not allowed to speak up?"
Mr. Shen, faced with direct confrontation, told her off unhappily, "I’ve said it before, no one is to bring this matter up again in the future. If you must blame someone, blame him for being foolish, dazzled by a woman, and even helping an outsider to bully his own cousin. Having everyone here today is also to discuss this matter properly. You are all Shen Family members, you should be united, aiming your blades outwards, not at your own family."
Upon hearing this, Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but lightly tug at her lips. She knew, Mr. Shen’s words were not just meant for Second Mrs. Shen but also for herself.
But she didn’t care about being a ’Shen Family person’ or not.
She only knew that whoever bullied her, she would retaliate with double, even tenfold the force.
As for who the adversary was, it didn’t matter.
If the Shen Family didn’t treat her as one of their own, she naturally wouldn’t foolishly regard herself as a Shen Family member.
Second Mrs. Shen, chastised by Mr. Shen, switched from one face to the next, glaring in Shen Weiyi’s direction, "It was her misconduct that started it all, Ah Zhe, he was also deceived by others." A fly won’t sting a perfect egg, if not for the girl’s own impropriety, how could these incidents have occurred?
Second Uncle Shen glared at Second Mrs. Shen, "Enough already, have you ranted to your heart’s content? Who allowed you to talk to Dad like that, shut your mouth right now."
Second Aunt Shen clenched her teeth, although unwilling, she did not dare to continue. But she glared fiercely in Shen Weiyi’s direction, and also held a grudge against Ye Yao in her heart.
If not because of that wretched girl, her son wouldn’t have had to suffer .
And yet, her son, his mind clouded by pork fat, even brought that wretched girl back home.
