"Okay, Yuan Yuan, take care on your way. If there's any danger, immediately inform Uncle Xiaoya, and he will come to protect you." As I turned to leave, Uncle Xiaoya transformed back into the form of the muscle-bound ghost and reminded me with his consciousness.
I nodded gratefully to Uncle Xiaoya, then ran to the bottom of the stairs to pick up the impatient Arrogant. As I was about to continue downstairs, I didn't expect Shen Chen to come forward with a gloomy expression and ask in a cold tone, "Why are you just coming down now?"
"Um, well, I was just chatting with my Ghost Brothers and got a bit carried away. I'm really sorry for making you wait so long. I'll be more careful next time," I blurted out without batting an eyelid.
To my surprise, Shen Chen seemed to be angry at my words. He lifted me up without a word and quickly walked down the stairs. Oh! I did indeed waste too much time. Being carried by Shen Chen, I didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. In fact, it wasn't so bad. It saved me from walking. Thinking about it this way, I felt even more at ease.
Along the way, I could only see Arrogant looking at me with a very disturbing gaze, the Atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Although I gave myself some psychological suggestions, I still felt anxious. Fortunately, I finally arrived at the building. Inside Shen Chen's car, I was somewhat surprised that Shen Ru was not in the car, probably sent back by Shen Chen.
This is also good, so as not to quarrel with Shen Ru again, and I can rest quietly for a while, which is also good. Seeing that Shen Chen still had no intention of speaking, I tactfully began to close my eyes and rest.
I don't know how long it has been. I was about to fall asleep in the car, but just as I was about to doze off, the car stopped. Shen Chen opened the door, and a cool breeze blew in, immediately dispelling my drowsiness. I opened my eyes and saw my niece. We had agreed that she would take me to see her grandfather, so why were we back at the Shen Family Old Mansion? Could Shen Chen be deceiving me, deliberately saying those things to make me willingly return to the Shen Family Old Mansion to be mistreated? This is too despicable. My expression immediately turned ugly.
"Yuan Yuan, what are you looking at? Let's go, Grandpa is waiting to see us!" Shen Chen said, noticing my unpleasant expression as I stared blankly at the gate of the Shen Family Old Mansion, and immediately walked over to ask in confusion.
niece, still pretending, but is it necessary? At this point, is there still a need to dress up? No wonder Arrogant looked at me with a troubled look. I turned my head away from him in anger and ignored him. It's too much to bully people like this.
"Mr. Chen, you're back. The master is waiting for you in the study!" Unexpectedly, it wasn't Fubo who greeted us this time, but another kind-looking old man. Although the Shen Family Old Mansion still looked the same, there were many more security personnel at the front gate, and the old mansion was brightly lit inside. It no longer looked like the empty and somewhat scary old mansion I had seen before. It finally looked like the home of a big family. Could it be that I wrongly accused Shen Chen?
At this time, Shen Chen also respectfully said to the old man, "Okay, Wenbo, Miss Yuan and I will go over now." Then he came over and pulled me, saying, "Yuan Yuan, this is my grandfather's steward, Uncle Shen Wenbo. You can just call him Wenbo."
"Okay, Wenbo," I quickly greeted Wenbo obediently, letting Shen Chen pull me and follow behind Wenbo, walking towards the Shen Family Old Mansion.
After seeing me, Wenbo kindly said, "Good, you will listen to Mr. Chen and Miss Yuan. You are truly a fortunate person."
"Thank you for the compliment, Wenbo," I politely replied.
Walking along, I felt something was off. Although the location seemed identical to the Shen Family Old Mansion, the interior was slightly different in its construction. Most importantly, it was bustling with activity. Sensing my confusion, Shen Chen whispered to me, "Yuan Yuan, this is the ancestral part of the Shen Family Old Mansion. The place you visited before was the outer part of the mansion. Just take the fork in the road ahead, and we will reach the outer part, which is separated from here by only a wall."
Even though Wenbo was walking ahead, his ears were sharp. Upon hearing that I had been to the outer part of the Shen Family Old Mansion, he looked at Shen Chen in surprise and said, "Mr. Chen, it seems that Miss Yuan is really important to you. You even took her to the most important private domain that the master has bestowed upon the young master." Then, suddenly turning to me with a smile, Wenbo said, "Miss Yuan, you may not know this, but apart from the Shen Family members, no other woman from outside has ever been to that outer part. My old man heard that Mr. Chen does not allow any outside women to enter because they are not qualified. The only ones qualified to enter will be Mr. Chen's future wife. Miss Yuan, you are the first one to have entered."
Uh, I felt a little embarrassed by Wenbo's words and lowered my head. I didn't expect that the outer part was so mysterious, and only people from the Shen Family could go in. Other women didn't have the qualifications to go in. And going in meant that you could really become Shen Chen's wife. I don't know why, but when I heard this, I felt a very comfortable feeling.
Wenbo saw that I was embarrassed and stopped teasing me. Shen Chen didn't say anything, and was silent like me. But this attitude made Wenbo even happier. I could see that Wenbo really cared about Shen Chen, and he was happy because Shen Chen finally had someone he liked. He believed that there would soon be a grand wedding in the Shen Family.
The atmosphere at this moment is somewhat eerie. In this eerie atmosphere, we arrived at the entrance of an ancient servant's courtyard, a large courtyard with an ancient charm. Inside, the courtyard is filled with exotic flowers and rare plants, as well as precious trees. Under a towering ancient tree, an elderly person and a child are sitting, seemingly delighted by something and laughing heartily.
Seeing me and Shen Chen approaching, the elderly person stopped laughing, straightened up, and began to scrutinize me with sharp eyes. The child, on the other hand, rushed towards me and exclaimed, "Mommy, why did you just arrive? Little Ink and grandpa have been waiting for a long time. Great-grandfather was going to let Little Ink sleep first, but Little Ink wanted Mommy, so Little Ink stayed with great-grandfather the whole time."
"Little Ink, I'm sorry, Mommy got held up. Come, sleep in Mommy's arms for a while," I said, busy and full of concern, as I hugged Little Ink.
"Cough, cough..." the old gentleman here cleared his throat and said, "Ah, Xiao Chen, is this my daughter-in-law? Why haven't you introduced her to grandpa yet?"
"Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, let me introduce you. This is my mommy, mommy, this is my grandfather." Before Shen Chen could speak, Little Ink took my hand and walked up to Old Master Shen, introducing me as if he and Old Master Shen were already familiar.
"Hello, grandfather. Yuan Yuan came in a hurry and brought a gift. I will make it up to you next time." I quickly stepped forward and politely greeted Old Master Shen.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Little Ink, you are the best gift for grandpa. Even if I close my eyes now, I can rest assured," said Old Master Shen with a look of contentment, gazing at Little Ink.
"Great-grandfather, don't talk nonsense. You will live to be a hundred, and we still have to wait for Mommy to give birth to my little brother or sister, right, Daddy and Mommy?" Little Ink said, hugging Old Master Shen's arm and acting spoiled.
I and Shen Chen both have a black line on our faces. This kid, speaking so directly, makes me not know how to respond. It's still Shen Chen who has a big face, solemnly saying, "Yes, Little Ink is absolutely right. Yuan Yuan and I are currently considering having Little Ink's younger brother or sister. I believe we will know the result soon."
"Really? Old man, I'm going to have another grandchild to hold. That's great. If your dad were still alive, he would definitely be as happy as I am. By the way, Miss Yuan, come with me to see Shen Chen's father when you arrive, and bow to him to show respect." Grandfather Shen suddenly said with some sadness, then got up and walked out of this courtyard, heading to the Shen Family ancestral hall not far from this courtyard.
First, Grandfather Shen asked me to kowtow to all the ancestors of the Shen Family, and finally to kowtow to Shen Chen's father. When I looked at the photo of Shen Chen's father, I was stunned. Isn't this Uncle Xiaoya? If people say that someone looks similar, can their spirit also be 100% similar? The look in the eyes is exactly the same as Uncle Xiaoya, so proud, confident, and, um, sincere and loyal.
Seeing me staring at the photo of Shen Chen's father, Old Master Shen smiled and said, "Miss Yuan, do you think Xiao Chen looks exactly like his father? Their personalities are a bit different. Xiao Chen is too cold, while his father was very easygoing. But in terms of management ability, Xiao Chen is stronger than his father. When his father was alive, he never focused on managing the family business, always fooling around outside. He never listened no matter how many times I talked to him. But it's fortunate that Xiao Chen inherited his father's handsome appearance and my wisdom. Now that I'm old, I think Little Ink seems to be a good piece of jade. With a little carving, maybe he'll be even better than Xiao Chen. Haha..."
"No, no, Grandpa, I mean, I feel like I've seen this person in the photo somewhere?" I deliberately didn't tell the truth and used the word "seems like."
"Is it not because of Xiao Chen? Is it true? Where did you see it?" Hearing me say this, Old Master Shen suddenly asked excitedly, then looked at Shen Chen.
Upon seeing Shen Chen again, with that direct gaze, he appeared to be lost in thought as he said, "Yuan Yuan, where did you see it? Was it inside the hospital tonight?"
Hmm, is Shen Chen like a tapeworm in my stomach, guessing so accurately? But this is a serious matter. Without Uncle Xiaoya's consent, I can't just tell anyone. So, I quickly asked Uncle Xiaoya in my mind, "Uncle Xiaoya, I have a question for you. Is your last name really Ye? Why did I see a portrait in the Shen Family ancestral hall that looks exactly like you?"
"Yuan Yuan, you're at the Shen Family, which Shen Family? Does Shen Family have an old master named Shen Tai?" Without waiting for my response, Little Night asked me a series of questions.
I hurriedly replied, "Yes, Shen Chen's grandfather is Shen Tai. What's wrong? Are you trying to deceive me? Your surname isn't Ye, it's Shen."
"Yuan Yuan, I'm sorry. The surname 'Ye' was just something I made up on the spot. I've been called that by the Ghost Brothers here for over a decade, so it's hard to change. You guessed it right, my real surname is Shen," Uncle Xiaoya suddenly said with a shy smile.
Seeing this, I quickly asked, "Never mind that for now. Do you want to go back to the Shen Family Old Mansion and see your son and father?"
"Okay, of course we should meet. I've been stuck here for so long. I was planning to settle the Ghost Brothers in the hospital and then come back to see my father. Wait, when did I have a son? How come I didn't know? Could it be the cheap son that my wife gave birth to? Is it really not your cheap daughter?" Uncle Xiaoya joked.
Yes, Uncle Xiaoya, he said he never touched his wife, but she got pregnant. I thought I was his cheap daughter, so now that I say he has a son, of course he will think it's his cheap son. But looking at Shen Chen's appearance, it's not biological. I don't believe it. There are no two faces in the world that look so alike. So I quickly replied, "No, Uncle Xiaoya, I can guarantee that this is definitely your biological son. You saw him tonight. He's the man who looks exactly like you. That's your son, Shen Chen. You dare say he's not your son, no one would believe it, right?"
"Uh, indeed, even the ghost himself doesn't believe it, and my men, the Ghost Brothers, don't believe it either. Just now they were teasing me, saying that the man is my illegitimate son, haha..." Uncle Xiaoya listened and laughed even more heartily.
"Hey, Yuan Yuan, what are you daydreaming about? Is it true or not?" Shen Chenjian remained silent for a long time and then hurriedly patted my arm and asked.
