Chapter 1845: Chapter 1846: Advancing Through Retreat
Sir Shen immediately sighed, showing an embarrassed expression, and grasped his hand, saying, "Lin, I should offer you an apology."
"Shen, youâre being too courteous."
He glanced over at Li Shengxiao and Rong Yan, and continued sincerely, "Ah, I just found out that my disappointing granddaughter offended Shengxiao. She grew up domestically after being born, never staying by my side, and I didnât have the chance to discipline her. Her mother and grandmother indulged her too much, thinking she was a girl, which led her to develop an arrogant and willful personality. Ultimately, itâs my fault for not teaching her properly; this brings shame to me. I am truly sorry."
Lin Weiâs smile remained unchanged, as if he didnât understand the implied meaning of the words, and he patted his hand, comforting him, saying, "Why are you saying this? Young people have their own lives. Weâre already halfway buried in the ground and shouldnât meddle in young peopleâs affairs. Let them cause a stir; speaking too much will just make them unhappy!"
Sir Shen let him hold his hand, the expression on his face becoming strained, seemingly surprised that after hinting so clearly, Lin Wei was unwilling to step in to plead for him, and even appeared reluctant to get involved.
His heart burned with anger, but his granddaughter was the first to make a mistake, leaving his annoyance useless. He could only squeeze out an awkward smile and speak again, "Itâs not that I want to get involved, but alas, my wife and daughter-in-law keep nagging in my ear. I tell them that Shengxiao just wants to teach that girl Siyuan a lesson, to prevent her from being as willful and reckless as before, doing things without considering consequences. They just wonât listen, crying before me every day. Here I am, halfway buried in the earth, having to embarrass myself and plead for my naive descendants, alas!"
With a heavy sigh, Lin Wei found it hard to play dumb anymore.
He raised his head, his eyes sternly looking towards Li Shengxiaoâs side, seemingly observing Li Shengxiaoâs reaction. He saw that his grandson didnât even glance at him, clearly intending to stand up for Rong Yan. This irritated him, and with a stern face, he withdrew his hand, showing a troubled expression, "Shen, what are you talking about? Youâre exaggerating. It was just some minor scuffle between kids. Iâve heard about this incident too. Siyuan is still at the police station, but it should be the police following the regular investigation process, so you and your wife need not worry too much. As long as this incident doesnât involve Siyuan greatly, sheâll be out soon."
What if it does involve her greatly?
Sir Shen understood his attitude and began to feel distressed.
After returning to the country, he investigated the female celebrity and learned that the Lin Family didnât acknowledge such a granddaughter-in-law; Rong Yan had almost never entered the Lin Familyâs home.
He thought that by humbling himself and speaking up, Lin Wei would show him some respect.
Now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought. Lin Weiâs attitude clearly shows he doesnât like Rong Yan, but Rong Yan is still part of the Lin Family, and they wouldnât easily step in to help him.
As someone who has weathered many storms, Sir Shen is much calmer than the anxious Old Madam and Madame Shen, reacting quickly, and realizing this path is not easy, immediately changed tactics. Like noticing Rong Yan for the first time, he suddenly looked over with affection, "Is this Miss Rong?"
Rong Yan came today purely for Lin Zhiya, and upon hearing his words, met his eyes, and immediately understood his intentions.
