Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Shen Anran immediately recognized that it was the old man who had ridiculed her for usurping the throne at the banquet last time, and his words were full of urges for her to get out of the Shen family.

This elder had disliked her since she was a child, thinking she was too naughty and lacked the innate maturity of the Shen family.

Since the banquet that day, the two families have stopped communicating, and no one knows what the old man is doing here today.

The bodyguard apologized softly: "I'm sorry, sir, we didn't stop him."

Shen Zhenting's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his tone was cold: "Forget it, you guys can leave."

The bodyguards left one by one.

He did not stand up to greet her. The two families had long since stopped communicating. The story began more than ten years ago, when Shen Anran was only ten years old.

That day, there was a family gathering. Little Anran was bored, so he sneaked out and wandered around outside alone.

She met Shen Chong, the son of her third uncle, who called her a fool. Xiao Anran ignored him because her brother had told her not to play with mentally ill people.

Seeing that Xiao Anran ignored him, Shen Chong became very angry and rushed over to push her. There was a pond next to them, and Xiao Anran was pushed into the water.

Shen Chong did not call for help, but instead watched Xiao Anran's pain from the shore, and even cursed even harder.

He always hated the fact that Shen Yifeng was better than him. Since he couldn't beat Shen Yifeng, he wanted to make his sister suffer.

Fortunately, Shen Yifeng arrived in time and Xiao Anran was rescued in time. If it weren't for Uncle Shen San relying on his elder status to protect Shen Chong, Shen Yifeng would have killed him long ago.

Since that incident, there has been a grudge between the two families.

Shen Zhenting's eyes were gloomy. He did not stand up to greet him, but just sat there quietly. The look he cast at Uncle Shen was full of biting coldness.

He said in a cold tone: "Uncle San, is there something wrong?"

Uncle Shen didn't care about the other party's indifference. Without waiting for an invitation, he found a seat and sat down. There was a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Why? Can't I, your uncle, come over?"

"I think the relationship between our two families is not yet to the point where we can visit each other." Shen Zhenting responded.

"I'm here today for only one thing." Uncle Shen didn't say the next words, but his eyes looked at Shen Anran.

Shen Anran blinked her eyes, wondering if this old man was up to some bad idea again.

Do you want to kick her out?

If he had come to her earlier, she might have agreed. Unfortunately, she didn't have much time now and naturally wanted to spend more time with her family.

Zhou Jingyan frowned tightly and was about to speak when he was stopped by Shen Anran.

She shook her head and said softly, "Let's see what their family is doing here first."

Jiang Wanqing, who was always gentle, looked unhappy at the moment. "Don't bother Uncle San with An Ran's affairs."

Uncle Shen was leaning on a cane, pretending to be kind, but the sharp calculation in his eyes was clearly visible.

He smiled and said, "I heard that An Ran turned out to be the lost child of the Lin family in Country C. This is really good news. An Ran has found his biological father. Our two families can visit each other more often in the future, get closer, and help each other."

The corners of Shen Anran's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: I'm afraid the first half of the sentence is false, and the second half is your real purpose.

The two families should have more exchanges? Ha, even if we have a good relationship with the Lin family, what does it have to do with you?

Can you please stop flattering yourself all the time?

You keep calling me Anran so affectionately. If there weren't other people around, I would have fought back against you right there and then.

Shen Anran complained in her heart, but maintained a polite smile on her face.

A fierce murderous look flashed in Shen Zhenting's eyes, and he asked, "Who told you that An Ran is a child of the Lin family?"

Uncle Shen stroked his slightly pale beard and pretended to be serious.

"Zhen Ting, this is wrong. How could you hide such a big thing as An Ran finding her biological father from us, your family?"

Shen Yifeng, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer. He was filled with rage and his voice was extremely cold.

"Family? When Shen Chong pushed my sister into the pond and nearly killed someone, why didn't he say we were family? Who would be so cruel to their own family?"

Shen Chong, who was standing aside, turned pale instantly when he heard Shen Yifeng's merciless sarcasm.

He could no longer hold back and argued loudly, "That happened many years ago. Didn't I apologize then? Isn't Shen Anran fine? Why are you holding such a grudge against her?"

Uncle Shen had a son in his old age. Although Shen Chong is of the same generation as Shen Zhenting, his age is similar to Shen Yifeng.

Recalling the thrilling scene of that year, Shen Yifeng still felt indignant.

At that time, he saw his young sister almost drowning, and he wanted to rush up and kill Shen Chong immediately. If he had not been stopped by others, he would have killed the other person long ago.

Shen Yifeng glared at Shen Chong with a cold tone: "Some things can't be solved with just an apology. You almost killed my sister. My family will always remember this."

Shen Chong was furious at Shen Yifeng's words and cursed, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? We were clearly talking about..."

Seeing this, Uncle Shen was so angry that he slammed his crutch on the ground, making a loud noise and interrupting Shen Chong's words.

"That's enough! Shut up! Aren't you embarrassed enough?"

Although Shen Chong was unwilling, due to his father's authority, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, shut his mouth, and stand aside silently.

Uncle Shen took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said to Shen Anran: "For what happened back then, I apologize to you again on behalf of Shen Chong."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifeng snorted coldly and said mercilessly: "Our family can't afford your expensive apology."

Uncle Shen didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer, so he told the purpose of his trip.

"The reason I came here today is actually because the Lin family will be holding a grand banquet in Balehai in a month, and I need two invitations."

After hearing this, Shen Yifeng responded indifferently: "No, we won't participate either. I'm afraid you've found the wrong person."

Uncle Shen turned his gaze towards Shen Anran, his tone somewhat suggestive: "Don't you really want to return to your biological father and be willing to live under someone else's roof here?"

When Shen Yifeng heard this, he clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

If the other person was not old and his elder, he would have been unable to suppress his anger and would have punched him.

This old man is so annoying. He actually dares to alienate the relationship between them and their sister.

He was not afraid that Shen Anran would believe his lies, but he did not want his sister to see his dirty thoughts, which made people want to vomit.

In Shen Yifeng's heart, Shen Anran is simple and kind, and needs to be cared for.
