Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Shen Chong's crimes are indelible facts, and I hope that Old Master Chen will not interfere. Since he has broken the law, he should be sentenced accordingly!"

Meng Chuan's seemingly casual words struck like a heavy blow.

It slammed into Chen Li's chest, instantly turning her face as pale as paper.

Her body swayed precariously, like a withered leaf in a storm, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Shen Chong, he was the apple of her eye, her very lifeblood!

She would give up her life for her son.

Meng Chuan's demand for a judgment according to the law was like a bolt from the blue for her.

"no, do not want……"

Kneeling on the ground, Chen Li screamed hoarsely, her hands gripping Old Master Chen's trouser leg tightly as she pleaded:

"Dad! That's your grandson! He's your daughter's own son, you can't just ignore him!"

Chen Li always felt that her husband, Shen An, didn't care about their son.

They placed almost all their hopes on the old man.

This is one of the reasons why she dared not disobey when the old man told her to kneel.

If even the old man doesn't care anymore, then she really has no one to rely on.

At this moment, Old Master Chen's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes, but it was quickly swallowed up by helplessness.

In fact, Old Master Chen also doted on Shen Chong.

Although he knew that his grandson sometimes liked to cause trouble, he couldn't resist the child's sweet talk and ability to make him happy!

Old Master Chen has always been strict with his descendants, but it was for the sake of the Chen family's future that he had to do so.

However, Shen Chong was only a grandson and did not need to inherit the Chen family's business, so his requirements for Shen Chong were naturally much more lenient.

Seeing that Old Master Chen remained silent for a long time, Chen Li looked at Meng Chuan in despair:

“Meng Chuan, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I apologize to you. I can give you money, as much as you want, as long as you can let my son go, I will do anything you ask.”

As she spoke, Chen Li kept kowtowing to Meng Chuan.

"It seems that in Ms. Chen's mind, money really is everything!"

Meng Chuan showed no pity whatsoever, simply looking coldly at Chen Li and saying:

"Since Ms. Chen has money, then use it to get your son acquitted! I'd also like to know if money can really be above the law."

Meng Chuan's words were a blatant warning.

He wouldn't hesitate to cause another scene if anyone dared to use money to exonerate Shen Chong.

"Brother Meng..."

Old Master Chen suppressed the surging emotions within him and tried his best to speak in a gentle tone:

“Shen Chong did make a mistake, but he is still young and by nature not a truly wicked person. Please, for the sake of this old man, let him off the hook as well?”

As if afraid that Meng Chuan would refuse, he quickly added:

"As long as you agree, the Chen family will remember your great kindness and virtue. In the future, whatever you need, the Chen family will go through fire and water without hesitation."

After all, grandparents love their grandchildren more, and Grandpa Chen is getting old.

If possible, he still hopes to give it a shot!

Upon hearing Old Master Chen's words, Meng Chuan couldn't help but let out a mocking sneer.

Such meaningless empty talk and clichés are really easy for them to come up with!

"Old Master Chen, whether Shen Chong is a heinous villain or not is not up to you or me to decide. The law is just, and the law will decide."

Meng Chuan remained expressionless and said coldly:

"Furthermore, I believe that people should have a bottom line. Some things can be negotiated, but not everything can be negotiated."

This last sentence, like an unbreakable line of defense, demonstrated Meng Chuan's resolute attitude.

First of all, Shen Chong dared to touch his woman, and for that alone, he is absolutely unforgivable.

Moreover, he had already made concessions and given Shen Chong a chance.

But nobody appreciates it!

Especially Chen Li, Meng Chuan felt disgusted by her arrogant face.

The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, yet people still put on airs of "nobility" in front of him.

Upon seeing Chen Li, he was about to speak again when Old Master Chen steeled his resolve:

"Alright! Shen Chong's actions are indeed his own fault, so let's leave him to the law to deal with!"

When Old Master Chen said this, everyone stared at him in shock, including Meng Chuan.

However, Meng Chuan quickly came to terms with it.

Having weathered many storms over the years, how could Mr. Chen, who single-handedly built the Chen family into a prestigious family in Shanghai, be an ordinary person?

Now that the Chen family's troubles were resolved, he absolutely could not allow any further accidents to occur.

As for grandsons, they are ultimately just grandsons.

He couldn't let the entire Chen family be ruined for someone with a different surname.

Besides, even if a verdict is handed down, so what?

For ordinary people, spending a few years in prison and having a criminal record could ruin their future.

But for the Shen and Chen families, as long as the family line continues, Shen Chong can still live a life of luxury.

"Dad! How could you be so heartless! That's your own grandson."

Chen Li burst into tears, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Old Master Chen is indeed a man of great wisdom and integrity. In that case, I shall take my leave. I wish you a pleasant meal and drinks."

Meng Chuan didn't want to stay there any longer to see Chen Li's ugly face, so he pulled Liu Qian away from the private room.

Watching Meng Chuan leave, Chen Li struggled to get up, about to curse.

But Shen An forcibly pulled her back and covered her mouth!

Throughout the entire process, Shen An only said one sentence when Meng Chuan came in, and then remained silent.

Now that Shen An had stopped her, Chen Li could only vent all her anger on him:

"Shen An, you coward! That's your son, and you don't dare utter a single word. You're unworthy of being a father. You deserve to die a horrible death."

Chen Li has completely lost her mind.

She couldn't understand why her son, who was so outstanding, had been abandoned by her closest relatives.

Why is this happening?

Why do they only ever see profit and never family ties?

Haven't you made enough of a scene?

Shen An finally lost his temper and roared:

"Chong'er's current predicament is all because of your spoiling him."

"You're talking nonsense. My son, why can't I spoil him? What did he do wrong? Did he kill someone or commit arson? Why did he have to end up like this? My son was ruined by that person, and that bitch too..."

"Snapped!"

Before Chen Li could finish speaking, Shen An slapped her hard, interrupting her.

This was the second time in Shen An's life that he had hit Chen Li.

This was also the first time in Shen An's life that he had hit Chen Li in front of Old Master Chen.

Chen Li was completely stunned.

Chen Zhendong and Chen Zhennan, who were still kneeling, looked at Shen An in disbelief.

Only Old Master Chen remained expressionless, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Shen Yue, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

She was an adopted daughter of the Shen family and was not close to her maternal grandfather, Old Master Chen.

But she had always heard that her grandfather was a legendary figure in the business world.

She witnessed her grandfather's textbook-like negotiation skills for the first time.

Even more terrifying is Meng Chuan.

It's unclear whether Meng Chuan's move was a lucky accident or a risky gamble.

They may seem reckless and impulsive, but they always manage to break through at crucial moments.

"Meng Chuan, I'm becoming more and more curious about you."

Shen Yue murmured to herself, "Writer's Peak Competition, please like, comment, and tip! Thank you~"
