Elder Shen was ashamed facing Elder Xi’s interrogation. He sighed and said, “Elder Xi, to be honest,
we really don’t want this to happen, but the Lin family did save my daughter so how can I continue
suppressing them?”
“So, you’re so appreciative of their help that you couldn’t wait to be inws with them?” Elder Xi
questioned angrily.
Anger also showed on Elder Shen’s face when they talked about that. “It is really not my intention that
we be inws!”
“Tong Yan and Lin Xuan are getting married. Do you still want to lie to my face?”
“That is something that I can’t help with.” Elder Shen sighed helplessly. “Everyone knows that
granddaughter of mine fancies that kid from the Lin family. Having her all cooped up recently probably
had caused some resentment within her. She found a chance to slip out of the house and the first thing
she did was to go find that Lin family kid, one thing led to another and… They ended up together! My
Little Yanter told me she’s already his woman and would marry no one other than him, so what other
choice did I have? Furthermore, Xiao Ru agreed to this marriage, so how can I deny them anymore?
Even the Tong family had no choice but to relent so what could I do?”
“You mean, the two of them…” Elder Xi frowned.
Elder Shen nodded as all the light of hope went out of his eyes. “That’s right. If this didn’t happen, I
would do everything in my power to crush that despicable Lin family! How dare they scheme against
us, scheme against the Shen family’s only bloodline?”
However, what choice did he have?
The Lin family acted so despicably against Tong Yan but the girl was stupid and willing enough to be
used by Lin Xuan, so no matter how influential they were, they were powerless since Tong Yan had
already given herself to Lin Xuan.
All the elders’ hands were tied when ite to this girl, so they had no choice but to ept this
engagement.
Agreeing to it would ruin her but refusing it would ruin her even more. Thankfully, due to Tong Yan’s
unique identity, she wouldn’t be bullied too much even if she married into the heartless Lin family.
s, they had to give up their precious treasure just like that, they were really unwilling!
“Elder Xi, my Shen family’s only heiress is Tong Yan. I know I’ve done wrong by you and the entire Xi
family but I’m defenseless before the pair of mother and daughter.” Elder Shen sighed with obvious
pain, it seemed like he had grown old before Elder Xi’s eyes.
Elder Shen had worked so hard his entire life, made a name for himself and earned the country’s
respect, however in the end, he lost to his granddaughter.
He didn’t have a son and both daughters weren’t exactly blessed with children. He only had one
granddaughter, but he was already satisfied.
s, Tong Yan kept making regrettable mistakes and now had ruined everything he’d spent his whole
life building.
So what if he had tons of money and immense influence?
All of that would have to be left to his future progeny, and in this respect, Elder Shen had gotten the
worst hand possible.
Discussing this only made Elder Shen envious of Elder Xi.
“In the end, you’re the final winner. Even though you chose to bow out from the race so many years
ago, your both grandsons are stand-up young men. With them carrying on your legacy, what is there
for you to worry about anymore? But me, so what if I’ve spent my whole life in luxury and
extravagance? The glory of the Shen family will perish with my eventual passing. Honestly, how can I
trust Tong Yan? That the girl can find her own happiness in life is already something I need to thank the
heavens for…”
Elder Xi couldn’t help but feel sorry for Elder Shen looking at him in his current condition.
Having a granddaughter like Tong Yan truly was equal to several generations of bad luck..
