After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 279 Cracks in the Relationship Between Grandfather and Grandson

Chi Yu was unfamiliar with the person who came, but the other party was clearly acquainted with Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi asked casually, "Why did you come out?"

Xue Lin held a glass of wine in his hand, his handsome face smiling: "I noticed you hadn't gone home for a while, so I came out to look for you."

He couldn't help but glance at Shen Yanzhi's phone, which had already gone black. He wondered if he was seeing things, but when he came over, he thought he saw Shen Yanzhi talking to his phone? And there seemed to be a hint of a smile on his face.

It's an illusion, it must be an illusion!

He had known Shen Yanzhi for so many years, and Shen Yanzhi had always been aloof and indifferent, with no desires whatsoever. When had he ever been so gentle?

Before Xue Lin could think further, Shen Yanzhi had already taken a step forward: "Let's go in."

With nothing on her phone, Chi Yuxian subconsciously peeked at the call log.

The records show that the most recent call, made ten minutes earlier, was from Mr. Shen.

Moreover, Old Master Shen didn't just call Shen Yanzhi once today. He called once this morning, once this afternoon, twice this evening, and then once more tonight.

Because it was a phone call, Chi Yu could only see the call time and duration, but not the content of the conversation.

However, Chi Yu felt that the content of the chat was not hard to guess.

Judging from Ms. Jiang's conversation with Shen Yanzhi a few days ago, the mother and son had spent every Mid-Autumn Festival with Mr. Shen at the Shen family's old house.

This time, because Mr. Shen suddenly had the idea of ​​using company shares to force Shen Yanzhi to marry him, Ms. Jiang didn't say anything on the surface, but she was very dissatisfied with Mr. Shen's actions and didn't intend to suppress her dissatisfaction.

So Ms. Jiang took Shen Yanzhi back to the Jiang family home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, letting Mr. Shen know that she was angry.

Chi Yu had visited the Shen family's old residence a few times with Shen Yanzhi before, and could tell that the old master Shen was the kind of person who appeared kind on the surface, but was actually very concerned about his reputation, and was somewhat stubborn and disliked being disobeyed.

He called Shen Yanzhi during the day, probably hoping that Shen Yanzhi could return to the Shen family's old house for the holiday as in previous years. However, Shen Yanzhi probably didn't agree, since he had already promised Ms. Jiang that he would go to the Jiang family's house for the holiday. The grandfather and grandson's phone call tonight probably didn't go very well.

If Shen Yanzhi knew what Chi Yu was thinking, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist raising an eyebrow and glancing at her.

Because Chi Yu's guesses were almost all correct.

Shortly after Shen Yanzhi got up today, he received a call from Old Master Shen.

On the phone, Grandpa Shen spoke with a kind and gentle tone, as if the unpleasantness between him and his grandson that night had never happened.

Grandpa Shen hoped that Shen Yanzhi could return to the old house to spend the holiday with him, just like before, but Shen Yanzhi politely declined.

The phone call that morning had a similar purpose, but Old Master Shen backed down and agreed that Shen Yanzhi could have lunch at the Jiang family's house in the morning, but he had to return to the Shen family's old residence in the afternoon. Shen Yanzhi refused again.

Shortly after Shen Yanzhi left the police station in the afternoon, he received another call from Old Master Shen.

This time, Old Master Shen and Shen Yanzhi had a somewhat unpleasant conversation.

Not long after hanging up, the housekeeper called again using Mr. Shen's cell phone, hurriedly saying that Mr. Shen was suddenly feeling unwell.

Shen Yanzhi drove to the Shen family's old house and found the old man sitting on the sofa playing with toys and several grandchildren. He didn't look unwell at all.

Besides Shen Yanzhi and Ms. Jiang, Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong would bring their wives and sons to the Shen family's old house every year for the festival. When they found that Shen Yanzhi and Ms. Jiang were not there today, Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong immediately realized that there must be some problem between the old man Shen and Ms. Jiang and her son. Everyone took turns trying to sow discord between the old man Shen and Ms. Jiang.

The reason why Old Master Shen was so angry today was largely due to the actions of the Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong families. When Old Master Shen saw Shen Yanzhi, he showed no remorse or guilt whatsoever, assuming that Shen Yanzhi had come to apologize and humble himself. However, to his surprise, seeing that he was alright, Shen Yanzhi left a pile of gifts, said hello, and left.

Shen Yanzhi's behavior infuriated Old Master Shen.

The phone call that Old Master Shen just made was an order for Shen Yanzhi to go on a blind date.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival in China, and many wealthy young men and women who have gone abroad make a special trip back to celebrate with their families.

Old Master Shen always hoped that Shen Yanzhi could find a wife who was of similar family background, well-educated and reasonable, and who could help Shen Yanzhi's career and be a good match for him.

This Mid-Autumn Festival is a great opportunity for blind dates. Not only are there many potential partners to choose from, but even Shen Yanzhi, who is usually extremely busy, is on vacation with his company.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Yanzhi preferred to spend several days on a luxury cruise ship rather than meet those rich young ladies!
It really pissed him off!

Seeing the furious old man, the butler promptly brought over a cup of hot tea: "Master, don't be angry. If Mr. Shen is unwilling to get married, we might as well let nature take its course... After all, Mr. Shen is only in his twenties."

The butler has witnessed the cold war between Shen Yanzhi and Old Master Shen these past few days.

More importantly, the butler felt that, given Shen Yanzhi's style of doing things, even if Old Master Shen forced him to do something he didn't want to do, it would be to no avail.

The way Grandpa Shen is doing this will only widen the rift between him and his grandson.

He tried his best to dissuade Mr. Shen: "It is said online that young people nowadays do not want to get married, and the average age of first marriage is now thirty. Mr. Shen is still so young. It is not too late for a man to get married in his thirties."

"He's not in his early twenties! In a few more years he'll be thirty!" Old Master Shen exclaimed angrily.

He had three sons in total, but Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong were not as capable as Shen Yanzhi's father, Shen Qingyan.

Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong's son is no match for Shen Yanzhi, let alone their grandson. It's unclear how Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong raised him; at such a young age, he already knows how to be cunning and deceitful, and is utterly devoid of any sense of purpose, making him unsuitable for any important task.

Shen Yanzhi has recently encountered two accidents in a short period of time, but luckily he is blessed with good fortune and survived unharmed.

If Shen Yanzhi were to die young like his father... given the current situation in the Shen family, there would be almost no one who could truly step up and take on the responsibility!

The Shen family's vast fortune will be squandered sooner or later!

This is something that Old Master Shen absolutely will not allow to happen.

The best solution is to get Shen Yanzhi married and have children as soon as possible, preferably several, so that the excellent genes can be passed on and the Shen family's legacy can be firmly preserved.

If Shen Yanzhi can get married this year, he could hold his great-grandchild as early as next year.

Even so, Grandpa Shen still felt it was a bit late. It would be at least ten or twenty years before the child grew up and was truly able to take on important responsibilities.

No one knew the sense of urgency in Old Master Shen's heart. He took a sip of tea, trying to calm himself down, and instructed the butler: "Go and find out which luxury cruise ship Yanzhi is on tonight."

Luxury cruise ships don't just drift along without docking; they also stop at suitable berths to rest during the journey. During this time, some passengers disembark and others board.

If Shen Yanzhi doesn't come down, he can just send someone up.

　good night
