"What are you waiting for? Make her kneel."
Two men grabbed Mu Qiqi and wanted to force her to kneel. Grandpa Shen who was standing at the door since earlier could not hold it any longer and made his appearance.
"Stop it!"
Upon hearing Grandpa Shen's voice, everyone was stunned. They gasped and quickly stood up.
Grandpa Shen walked to the hall from behind the folding screen. He looked at everybody.
Then, he walked toward Rong Junhan. Before she could talk, he slapped her hard in her face. "Who are you to act so high and mighty in my house?"
"Father..."
"Father..."
Second Elder and Huang Yu were shocked. "She is Eldest Sister. She is the one who contributed a lot to the Shen family."
"She has helped you a lot. But did she help me in any way? Taking care of my son? He is just her fiancée. Have I ever forced her to do so? Even if she has helped Jianchuan a lot, he should be the one thanking her. This is my house! How dare she act this way in my house? She has not married into the family yet!"
Second Elder and his wife became speechless.
"Are you all going to change your surname to Rong after I die?"
"Father, please calm down. Eldest Sister is just trying to remind Qiqi of the family rules!" Third Aunt looked as if she was trying to calm Grandpa Shen down. But she was actually making him angrier. "We haven't even started the conversation and she is already making her kneel. I can't seem to understand this. But I did not dare to speak up."
Grandpa Shen was enraged. Everyone did not dare to even breathe. They were terrified.
Rong Junhan was especially terrified. She stood at the side. Her lips were trembling out of fear, and anger.
"Once I arrived at Jianchuan this morning, I heard that you were fired up to get Qiqi here. I knew you were looking for a chance to bully Qiqi so I purposely went to have tea at Sheng Mansion. I wanted to see if you, being the elders, had any sense of shame."
"I just stood at the door for a short moment and I could already hear five adults, plus the two thugs, were bullying an eighteen-year-old girl!"
"Nice one, you guys!"
Grandpa Shen laughed out of anger. "Are you my good sons? I can't believe what you have done!"
"Father, you can't say we are totally wrong.
The Shen family is humiliated because of the friendship between Mu Qiqi and Lu Qianqian. It is a fact."
"Why are you refuting me?" Grandpa Shen was even angrier after Huang Yu said that. He exploded. "Your father is a murderer. Why are you not a murderer? You learn nothing but to treat others strictly and treat yourself with leniency? Did I cause you any trouble because of all the gossip when you married into the Shen family?"
Huang Yu was dumbfounded. She did not dare to say anything more.
Her eyes filled with tears and she nearly cried.
"Don't pretend in front of me. If you want to bully Qiqi, you will have to wait until the day I cannot move. Then you can try going over my head."
"Before this, Mu Tangxue had said something very true although she was indeed a horrible one. You respect Rong Junhan and treat her like god. But to me, she is completely an outsider in this family."
"Let me warn you. If you, Jinyun, and your wife, can no longer tell the right and wrong apart and damage the relationship in the family, I will make you move out of the family. I don't want traitors in my family!"
"As for you two, Third, and your wife, behave yourself. If you get into this kind of thing again, I will drive you out as well."
Grandpa Shen was furious this time. So, the Shen brothers quickly kneeled in front of him.
Huang Yu did not move. But Third Aunt was so scared that she dropped her knees on the floor.
