CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: DON’T BE TOO GREEDY

"Dad! We didn’t think like that!" Shen Gaizhuo was startled, he truly hadn’t expected Mr. Shen to suddenly say such blunt words.

Yes, they did covet the shares in Rong Qingqing’s hands, even thinking of seizing them for their own.

But, for now, it’s just an idea.

However, Shen Gaizhuo didn’t expect that even this thought was noticed by Mr. Shen.

"Shen Gaizhuo, why be so greedy as a person?" Mr. Shen sneered, "The shares in Rong Qingqing’s hands were given to her by me, they belong to her. Are you really thinking about just those few shares?"

Mr. Shen suddenly stopped walking, stood there, slowly turned his head, and looked at his second son, asking him.

"Do you think if you mess with Rong Qingqing, Mr. Rong would let you off?"

Shen Gaizhuo was frozen there, not knowing how to answer this question.

He wanted to deny that he coveted Rong Qingqing’s shares.

But Shen Gaizhuo feared that the old man didn’t have the patience to listen to his words at this moment.

Shen Gaizhuo knew a bit about Mr. Shen’s temperament; Mr. Shen only trusts himself.

"Rong Qingqing is not Rong Jiaojiao; she is a proper daughter of the Rong Family. Rong Jiaojiao can only rely on her father, but there are many people behind Rong Qingqing."

Mr. Shen looked at his second son and daughter-in-law with pale faces, finding them somewhat ridiculous, and even a bit hateful.

"Behind Rong Qingqing, there is her mother’s family, there is Mr. Rong, that child said it right this afternoon, what rights does Liao Yamei, do you have to make her suffer grievances?"

"When she was still Shen Xingwei’s fiancée, she had to endure you as a future mother-in-law. Now, she is Shen Jue’s fiancée, why should she tolerate you?"

"You first pushed the person to this point, then don’t blame others for disrespecting you. As elders, what have you done to be worthy of respect?"

"People, life is just a few decades, why be so greedy? In the end, you’ll lose a watermelon while picking up sesame seeds. Do you know how many people are laughing at you outside now, and do you know what they are laughing at?"

Without waiting for the couple to answer, Mr. Shen slowly turned and went back to his room on his own.

Shen Gaizhuo and Liao Yamei stood there watching the old man’s departing figure, feeling stiff all over their bodies. It wasn’t until long after his figure was gone that they slowly came back to their senses.

When the couple returned to their residence, Old Madam Shen was already there waiting for them.

"Mom." Shen Gaizhuo walked over.

The anger held back on the way, now in front of Old Madam Shen, Shen Gaizhuo let it all out.

"Shen Jue is disabled now, always looking so lifeless, yet dad still has half of his heart set on Shen Jue!"

Shen Gaizhuo sat on the sofa, looking at his wife, "And you, stupid woman! What can be said and what can’t be said, aren’t you aware at your age?"

Liao Yamei stood to the side, covering her face, looking aggrievedly at Old Madam Shen, whispered her complaint, "Rong Qingqing was talking nonsense, dad believed it, and so do you, what can I do?"

"Besides, I used to provoke my sister-in-law, with her soft nature, how could I know that Rong Qingqing would be there this afternoon, and that she would be so ill-mannered, both confronting and getting physical with me?"

Liao Yamei felt wronged too, having just been asked to apologize to a junior like Rong Qingqing in front of so many people, and she was slapped by her husband.
