Chapter 2289 Soft Knife

"I muted it by mistake."

Cen Shu remained calm and made up an excuse that made people not believe a single word of it.

Shen Ping couldn't help but press down the corner of his mouth, afraid that he would say something unpleasant. He forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart and shifted the feeling from the woman's face to the things she was holding in her hands.

"What did you get?"

"I bought it when I passed by the breakfast shop. You and Dad haven't eaten yet, right?"

"No, I was just about to buy some and you came, just in time."

Shen Ping took the lunch box from her and took out the small table. Father Shen also cooperated and put two pillows behind him. He took the porridge from Shen Ping and drank a mouthful. Before he could even taste it, he started praising her:
"Shushu, it's rare that you still think about daddy. You're the only one who understands our tastes. Otherwise, how can we be a family?"

Cen Shu smiled faintly and glanced at the breakfast on the bedside table.

It turned out that the father and son were busy for a while, and their claims that they were on their way to buy something were just lies he made up to deal with her.

The father and son also reacted, their faces showing different levels of embarrassment. Shen Ping wiped his nose and said unnaturally: "This was sent from the hospital. It doesn't suit Dad's taste. He ate two bites and refused to eat. I was just looking for what to buy for breakfast."

Cen Shu nodded, "Dad's body has just recovered, so it's normal that his taste is bland. He must have been exhausted last night." Shen Ping stared into her eyes, "Not really."

Father Shen sighed, "I'm fine. My body is just like this. It's an old problem. Shushu, you know that Dad has been relying on medicine all these years. It's just hard for your mother. The full moon banquet yesterday... Alas, she wanted to come to the hospital to take care of me, but going door to door to apologize requires family members to come forward. If I wasn't in this state, I would have accompanied her."

As he spoke, he observed Cen Shu's reaction, especially when he mentioned "apologize", his eyes were meaningful, giving Cen Shu the feeling that it was you who was wrong, but your family was cleaning up the mess for you, so how could you have the nerve to sit here and criticize him.

It's so blatant, with no disguise in the meaning.

Cen Shu clenched his eyebrows and drooped them. He sighed faintly, "You are sick and there is nothing we can do. Shen Ping has to take care of you, and Su Qing has to take care of Zhuo'er. The only one who can come forward is mom. I have always admired mom for being able to take care of everything. With her coming forward, no one will think that yesterday was a farce. After all, Zhuo'er's identity is legitimate and well-founded. Don't you agree, dad?"

The thing that hurts the heart the most is always a soft knife.

Is she accusing the men of the family of hiding in the back and pushing a woman to the front to clean up the situation?

She thought she was mocking someone, how outrageous!

She called out the names of everyone in the family, even the mistress, and she didn't say a single dirty word, but why did it sound so dirty to her?
Fortunately, Father Shen has lived several decades longer than her. He can handle situations with ease. He ignored Cen Shu's ridicule and sighed, "It's really difficult. I don't need two people to take care of me in the hospital. Let Ping'er stay here. He has good physical strength and can run around. You go find your mother and meet her. Listen to her arrangements. The doctor will come for a follow-up check later. If I can be discharged from the hospital, I will go home with Ping'er to wait for you. I'll ask my family to cook a few of your favorite dishes and we'll have dinner together in the evening."

Father Shen kept talking, speaking in a tone that did not give Cen Shu any time to react.
