Chapter 48 (1/2)

Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Sure enough, as Chen Fang said, early in the morning on the third day, Old Master Shen came knocking.

The doorbell was ringing so much that it practically shook the walls of the house. Aunt Zhou, who was cleaning the living room, jumped in fright when she heard it. She then rushed out of the courtyard to open the door.

Old Master Shen stood in front of the fence while leaning on a walking stick with an aggressive bearing. Following behind him was a chauffeur.

Aunt Zhou quickly opened the door and asked the old master to come in. Then she greeted respectfully, “Old Master Shen, why are you here? Are you looking for Young Master Shen?”

Though ‘I’m unhappy, I’m very angry’ was written on Old Master Shen’s face, he did not grimace with displeasure at Aunt Zhou. Instead, he forced a smile onto his face. Then he gave an ‘en’ in reply, “Where’s that little bast… Shen Fu?”

Aunt Zhou did not know what had happened to make old master look so angry. She could only hurry inside and show him the way, “Young Master Shen hasn’t gotten up yet. I’ll go get him.”

Old Master Shen did not speak. He walked to the door before asking Aunt Zhou, “Is there anyone else here besides Shen Fu?”

Aunt Zhou did not respond at first, but at last she remembered that he was probably talking about Lin ShuYi, “Yes, Young Master Shen also brought a friend along. He’s also sleeping inside.”

Old Master Shen’s face was all black, “They’re sleeping together?”

Aunt Zhou was shocked. When she thought of the scene she saw that night, she suddenly reacted. Was Old Master Shen here to come and catch them after he knew of this? ! ! Seeing the scowl on the elderly man’s face, she quickly waved her hand, “No, no, they slept separately, not together.”

It was only then that the elderly man felt that his reaction was a little over the top. He schooled the expression on his face and silently walked away with a straight face.

Just as he opened the door and entered, he saw Chen Fang walking down the stairs while yawning. Chen Fang asked, “Who’s here? Why is it so noisy…”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Old Master Shen who followed Aunt Zhou in and froze mid-yawn. Chen Fang subconsciously straightened out his pajamas and felt that he had really forgot his manners. Then he came down to respectfully greet Old Master Shen, “Grandpa Shen, why did you come?”

Old Master Shen and Chen Fang’s grandfather were old friends and they had a very good relationship, so this was why Shen Fu and Chen Fang had been so close since childhood.

Old Master Shen had always kept his face expressionless. Now that he saw this ringleader who had hidden Shen Fu, his expression did not become darker nor did he make this more awkward. He looked at Chen Fang and said with a straight face, “I’m here to look for that little bastard.”

Chen Fang wanted to laugh when he heard Shen Fu’s being called a little bastard by his grandfather. However, it was obviously not the time to laugh. Old Master Shen came knocking and if he delayed calling Shen Fu down, the Earth would probably be hit by a comet. It was certainly not the time to laugh. What’s more, Lin ShuYi was still here. If the elderly Master hurt Lin ShuYi in anger, Shen Fu would go crazy.

At present, the most pressing matter was to stall for time to secretly inform Shen Fu of the situation and let him think of an idea.

Chen Fang thought of it and his eyes turned, “Grandpa Shen, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet since you came here so early. Why not ask Aunt Zhou to cook something for you to eat?”

The old master eyed him and refused with an expression that implied ‘Do you think that I don’t know what you’re thinking?’, “I’ve already eaten before I came.”

From when he was young, this old man was a character that was not easy to get along with. Moreover, Chen Fang’s skills and abilities were a few decades worse than this old master. Chen Fang felt an immense pressure, yet he could not let the old master go up to find Shen Fu like this. He could only force himself to try again, “Would you like to sit down for drinks? I have some good tea leaves that were just delivered here two days ago. Isn’t Grandpa Shen the most fond of tea?”

Old Master Shen scoffed “I don’t drink tea in the morning.”

Chen Fang felt that that one after another, each of the Shen family’s people were more difficult handle. At the moment, he absolutely had to delay this old master. Who in the world did he provoke to suffer this impossible task?

Chen Fang opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, yet he was interrupted by Old Master Shen who raised his hand, “Okay, stop trying to dawdle. How could I not know what you’re thinking? And don’t even think of trying to call that little bastard. I’ll go myself.”

Without looking at Chen Fang, he went upstairs. Chen Fang still wanted to follow when the chauffeur who was standing at the side came up, “Young Master Chen, I think you’d better not go up.”

All right then, we still have one more move. Chen Fang could only stay where he was and let Shen Fu seek his own happiness.

There were many rooms on the second floor. Old Master Shen went up and examined the area for a while. Finally, he headed to one room that was near the interior. Chen Fang was anxious once he saw this, “Old Master!”

You’re going the wrong way. That’s Lin ShuYi’s room!

However, it was too late. Old Master Shen, who was preparing to open the door to go in, and Lin ShuYi, who was preparing to open the door to go out, collided together and stared at each other in consternation.

Lin ShuYi: “…”

Old Master Shen: “…”

Chen Fang silently wailed as he covered his face. What he had been afraid of really came!?

However, it was lucky that Shen Fu was not a pig. He had also woken up with such a big disturbance in the room. He opened the door and saw the strange scene outside. After staring blankly for two seconds, Shen Fu walked over, pulled Lin ShuYi into his arms and took a step back before greeted Old Master Shen with a smile, “Morning Grandpa.”

Being so near, Lin ShuYi could hear the sound of the old master gnashing his teeth.

Lin ShuYi, who was still wondering who this man was, understood everything when he heard Shen Fu’s address. This was the old man who had thrashed Shen Fu till he was injured from head to toe. Sure enough, it was better to see him once in person than to hear about him for a hundred times. With one glance, Lin ShuYi could tell that he was definitely a formidable man.

Lin ShuYi immediately greeted the old master respectfully and courteously. He extended his hand, “Hello, Grandpa Shen.”

Old Master Shen’s face was totally black. His anger mounted as he looked at Lin ShuYi, who was still completely out of the loop, yet he could not express it and restrained himself till it was unbearable. Finally, he put out his hand with a straight face as a gesture of goodwill, “Hello.”

Shen Fu’s stomach ached with the effort he put in to suppress his laughter.

Lin ShuYi, who rather bafflingly won a round without knowing it, continued to make another big move, “Is Grandpa here to find Shen Fu? You can just talk if there’s something. I’ll leave first.”

Shen Fu could not help letting out a stifled snort, which was forcibly suppressed by Old Master Shen’s knife-like glare.
