Shen Jingjue slowly raised his deep and gloomy starry eyes, dark light flickering, "I have given enough forbearance to the best of my ability. But, just this time. Next time, I will never tolerate it again."
Pain arose in Shen Nanhuai's heart, the past events that he could not bear to touch were still vivid in his mind, and his face was filled with a haze of sadness.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was too arrogant and shouldn't have mentioned your sadness."
Shen Jingjue felt guilty and held his grandfather's rough and dry hand tightly with his warm hands, "I know that if it weren't for that incident, your preferred heir would definitely be the eldest brother.
The eldest brother has been in your lap since childhood and is the grandson you have high hopes for. "
"Surprise..."
"Grandpa, I owe my eldest brother and I owe you."
Shen Jing felt soreness well up in his nose and smiled softly, "Having a grandpa who really cares about me is something I never dared to dream about when I was a child. I don't have the qualifications to ask for anything else."
"Jingxu, listen to grandpa!"
Shen Nanhuai roared low, pressed his trembling hands on his broad shoulders, and met his eyes with burning eyes, "In grandpa's eyes, you are all my grandsons. Grandpa loves you and loves you just as much."
As for what you said, grandpa is treating it like a fucking puppy! Grandpa says it again, brat, listen to me!
Even if your eldest brother comes back safe and sound, even if none of that ever happened, grandpa will still choose you to be the heir to the group. "
"Grandpa...you..." Shen Jingjue looked stunned.
"Even if everyone in the Shen family doesn't support you, it doesn't matter. Grandpa supports you, and grandpa will support you!"
...
Outside the door, Tang Qiaoer listened intently.
She almost pressed her whole body against the door panel, listening attentively to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson inside.
Although she had good hearing, the sound insulation of the door panels of this mansion was impressive, and she couldn't hear clearly even though she tried hard.
Shen was shocked to realize that the dog man was just a mosquito, but the old man was so angry that Tang Qiaoer took his words at face value.
"Shen Jingjue's eldest brother? Back then? What happened back then? It sounds... it seems very heavy..."
During the three years that Tang Qiaoer had been in the Shen family, she had never seen the eldest young master.
But she also heard from Wu's mother that the eldest young master was in poor health and had been recuperating in country M all year round. Even the position of heir that originally belonged to him had to be given over to his half-brother.
Listening just now, why did she vaguely feel that the eldest young master's illness seemed to be related to Shen Jingjue?
Suddenly, the study door opened!
Tang Qiaoer was still thinking there, maintaining an eavesdropping posture.
She didn't realize at all that she had crashed into Shen Jingjue's hard chest.
Shen Jingjue: "...?"
Tang Qiaoer: "......Ah!"
Only then did she regain her consciousness, and she screamed with a clear voice in fright!
At this time, Grandpa's voice came from the room: "I'm surprised, is Xiaoxiao outside?"
"It's okay, grandpa, you heard wrong. You should go to bed early."
While he was talking, the dog man had put his left hand behind his back, closed the door neatly, and looked at her with tenderness and satisfaction in his eyes, which were starry.
"Are you eavesdropping?"
"goodbye!"
Tang Qiaoer was enveloped by Shen Jingjue's aggressive shadow, panicked, and turned around to escape.
Unexpectedly, the man's right hand suddenly grabbed her slim waist and pulled her into his arms.
