Chapter 102 - I Can Protect Myself Now (1/2)

Yun Shen was called by one of the servants to meet his family. When he entered the room, all his relatives were inside the room. They were all showing such disgust and hostile gaze towards him.

Yun Zexian did not hold back and yelled, ”Shizhen what do you plan to do now? Look what a mess your son has done. Not only has he embarrass himself, but he also embarrassed the whole family.”

”Yahui is this how you raised your family. Such an embarrassment. What were you thinking? You even made your youngest son to be the President when he can't even discipline his son well.” An elder relative said.

”What an embarrassment, isn't that girl involve Bai's girlfriend. Have you lost your mind letting your son date such a horrible girl? To think she would be my future in-law. I rather change my name than to have her as a relative.” Another relative said.

Yun Bai, who was standing by the corner felt like punching his relative for saying such harsh words. He contained his emotions and continued to stand quietly in the corner.

”What are we going to do now? I'm sure Elder Chief Zhao is furious about what happened. Didn't you see the Young Princess even took her clothes off in front of everyone?”

”How come we never heard of Shen having a daughter. When do you plan to tell us, did you know Yahui or didn't you know as well. Then Shizhen why did you keep something so important from us. Not only are we your family, but we are also a member of the board as well.”

”That's right, the company will surely experience such a great loss. I'm sure Lord Knightley will take the invest back after we made a fool of the Young Princess. We even dare wish for such a marriage connection when Shen already has a daughter.”

”Everyone, be quiet.” Elder Chairman Yun yelled furious hearing all the commotion and ridiculous accusations. It was thanks to the boy they have such great invest now that he made a mistake they all turn their back on him.

”Father, please let me explain.” Yun Shizhen (President Yun) approached the old man worried about what he'll do to his son.

He ignored his son and looked at the boy standing by the door this whole time, ”Shen do you have something to say?”

Yun Shen looked at his grandfather and before stepping out of the room, he left one word.

”No.”

Everyone was in an uproar as the boy left the room. They continued to vent out their frustration on Yun Shizhen since he was the boy's father.

”Shizhen, I disagree to make him the Director of the project if we still have a project.”

”Brother, didn't I ask you to let Lin handle it now look what happened. You'll ruin everything for us.”

Everyone was then silenced when the old man got up from his seat and walked out of the room. He then looked around as he searched for the boy.

...

As he searched for the boy, he eventually found him in the place where hardly anyone visited and the place the boy normally hides from the guest when he was young. ”This was your favorite hiding place.”

”No one dares enter the music room...”

Elder Chairman Yun approached the boy feeling sorry for him, ”I'm sorry to have burdened you, the fault is mine, not yours. I should have helped you in taking care of the child yet I couldn't and instead I ran away.”

”Grandfather, I don't regret having Little Yan in my life. She is the only living proof I have that reminds me of her. She may be timid towards me, but things have changed. Her beautiful smile reminds me of her every day and not a day in my life I wish to keep that smile and hope it won't disappear.”

Seeing the boy express himself for the first time ache the old man's heart. He was to blame for everything, but he couldn't face the truth and instead run away. He let his grandson suffer and be tortured by the family.

The family thinks he despises the boy, but the truth, he loves the boy more than his son and all his grandchildren. But he feared if he showed so much love towards the boy that something bad will fall upon him. So in order to avoid this, he played a role in which he dislikes the boy. That he knows nothing of the boy's achievement in life and how he's been leaving.

”Shen, I'm sorry for everything... You know very well why I'm like this towards you.”

Yun Shen looked at the old man and tapped him on the shoulder, ”Of course I do, you wish to protect me from everyone. You don't need to worry, I can protect myself now. I'm no longer a child. If you excuse me, I need to explain myself to the Young Princess's family.”
