Chapter 253 Disrespecting Old Master Shen

Jiang Siyuan, Shen Yanzhi's cousin, knew all too well how much of a loner he had been all these years.

When they were young, they probably didn't think much of it. After all, Shen Yanzhi was very popular at the time, and everyone thought that he was precocious and had a much higher IQ than his peers, which is why he couldn't play with them.

But as he grew older, his personality became increasingly detached. Whether in life or in studies, he preferred to be alone, like a cold and lonely block of ice. It was then that Ms. Jiang realized something was wrong. Young Shen Yanzhi did not have the playfulness and activity of children his age at all.

Ms. Jiang tried to correct this by not being so busy with work, taking Shen Yanzhi out to play during his winter and summer vacations, and encouraging the Jiang family's children to visit the Shen family more often.

However, by that time, Shen Yanzhi's personality was basically set, and frequent socializing only made him feel annoyed and did not improve his situation much.

Unfortunately, at the time, Old Master Shen did not think there was anything wrong with Shen Yanzhi. He even thought that Shen Yanzhi was quieter and more independent, which would make him less of a worry.

Of course, it cannot be said that Old Master Shen treated Shen Yanzhi badly. When Shen Yanzhi was young, Old Master Shen loved him the most.

However, this kind of affection comes with a demand for reciprocation.

Old Master Shen provided Shen Yanzhi with endless resources and placed high hopes on him.

Jiang Siyuan suddenly realized that everyone had only seen Shen Yanzhi’s outstanding talent and status on the surface, but had overlooked the fact that he had been a left-behind child who lost his father at a young age and whose mother was busy with work, leaving him to be cared for by his grandfather.

It can be said that over the years, Shen Yanzhi has never truly experienced the warm scene of his parents being by his side and the whole family being happy.

After finishing his call with Shen Yanzhi, Jiang Siyuan's expression turned somber. After a long pause, he called Ms. Jiang: "Aunt, there's something I want to tell you..."

After listening to Jiang Siyuan's words, Ms. Jiang sighed silently: "Actually, I realized this a long time ago."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept urging Shen Yanzhi to reduce his workload, socialize more, and ideally find a partner during the first half of the year.

"But there's no need to be so anxious. Some things are just things we imagine, and Yanzhi's feelings may not be like that at all," Ms. Jiang comforted Jiang Siyuan.

Many people in society may feel compassion and sympathy for the weak at certain moments because of a certain scene, but in fact, without knowing the whole picture and in situations they have not truly experienced, they may not feel compassion.

This feeling of sympathy is something the bystander imagines.

It's possible that the other party doesn't need the sympathy of bystanders.

Ms. Jiang smiled and said, "Don't think of Yanzhi as so fragile."

Jiang Siyuan, who was still immersed in sadness, immediately realized upon hearing this: "Auntie is right."

Ms. Jiang glanced at the calendar: "Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here. Siyuan, tell your dad that Yanzhi and I will be having lunch at your house that day." Jiang Siyuan's expression brightened upon hearing this: "Really?"

Previously, Ms. Jiang and Shen Yanzhi would spend every Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year with Mr. Shen at the old house. Visiting the Jiang family home was usually arranged for the day after the festival.

"real."

Upon receiving Ms. Jiang's definite answer, Jiang Siyuan could barely contain his smile: "Okay! I'll talk to my dad about it later. But I might have to take a day off this time, not leave."

Ms. Jiang: "No leave? Not even a single day?"

"Hmm." Jiang Siyuan lowered his voice: "There are still some people who haven't been caught. Recently, various departments have been conducting strict investigations."

Ms. Jiang immediately understood: "Be careful."

"I will, Auntie, don't worry."

……

[Son, we'll go to Siyuan's house for lunch on Mid-Autumn Festival, and then we'll eat at home together in the evening.]
Shen Yanzhi looked at the WeChat message sent by Ms. Jiang and moved his fingers:

[good. ]
Every year before, the mother and son would spend the holidays with Grandpa Shen.

Ms. Jiang's actions clearly demonstrate her dissatisfaction with Mr. Shen.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ms. Jiang delivered the mooncakes and other gifts to the Shen family's old house.

Old Master Shen had invited several friends over to play chess at the time, and when he saw the gifts, his face darkened considerably. However, because there were outsiders present, he couldn't show his displeasure.

Ms. Jiang didn't care about all that. That night, Old Master Shen didn't give Shen Yanzhi any face at all, and now she wouldn't give Old Master Shen any face either. She said directly, "Dad, Yanzhi and I are going there to celebrate the festival tomorrow, so we won't be coming."

Old Master Shen's face was grim. Shen Yanzhi was his own grandson. Why was he spending such an important festival of reunion as the Mid-Autumn Festival at the Jiang family's house?

Unfortunately, there were outsiders present, so Old Master Shen had to pretend to be magnanimous: "...Alright, please also help me carry a gift over."

 I've been stuck on this writing problem and don't know how to turn Yu Yu into a human, but I've started to get a clue these past few days.
