Shen Yin looked up and glared at him, then pushed him away and walked out of the room without saying a word.

Outside the room, Lu Wen was leaning against the wall with her head bowed. No one knew what she was thinking. When she heard the door open, she immediately straightened and looked up.

Shen Yin looked at her expressionlessly and asked in a low voice, “How long have you been here?”

Lu Wen blinked in shock, then as if she had realized something, she quickly shook her head. “Ms. Shen, I-I just arrived. I didn’t hear what you were talking about. Really!”

Shen Yin nodded and gave her a meaningful look. Then, she turned around and returned to her room.

At that moment, Lian Jing was still in Old Master Lian’s room. Shen Nian obediently blew on the hot tea in his cup and coaxed him to take a sip of water before retreating.

Old Master Lian looked at his great-grandson’s cautious expression in amusement and said with a smile, “Why are you so reserved? Come, sit beside me.”

Shen Nian raised his head and stole a glance at Lian Jing’s expression. Then, he obediently held Old Master Lian’s outstretched hand and let him lead him to sit by the window.

Lian Jing did not look good, but it was not because of Shen Nian. He frowned and looked at Chen Fa, who was standing at the side. He said coldly, “Why did Grandpa suddenly fall ill? What did the doctor say?”

Chen Fa hurriedly placated him. “The doctor said that he just caught a cold, but Old Master’s health is not bad. It’s not a big problem this time. He’ll be fine after resting at home.”

Lian Jing was still a little worried. The Old Master was an old man. Now, any small mistake could lead to disaster. They really could not afford to be careless.

“When you recover from your illness, I’ll get Zhong Xin to make an appointment for you to have a physical examination. You can do a comprehensive physical examination and get Butler Chen to accompany you.”

Old Master Lian waved him aside happily and said, “You’re so good-hearted. Among your generation, I’m afraid you’re the only one who really doesn’t want me to die.”

Lian Jing suddenly frowned and his voice was filled with anger. “I’ll make those people suffer the consequences sooner or later.”

Old Master Lian reached out his hand for Butler Chen to help him up. He leaned against the head of the bed and panted. “Little Jing, this is what I want to talk to you about. I can’t keep looking after you. You have a ruthless streak. If no one is around to control you, I’m afraid you’ll go astray.”

Lian Jing’s expression softened slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked into Shen Nian’s bright eyes. Suddenly, he thought of Shen Yin and a part of his heart instantly softened. “Grandpa, I know my limits.”

Old Master Lian sighed and reached out to take out an agreement from the drawer of the bedside table. He handed it to him. “This is an agreement regarding the transfer of shares under my name after my death. I’ll leave these to you. I know that only you can lead the Lian family forward.”

Lian Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the agreement. The pages were light, but the consequences were weighty. He frowned. “Grandpa, you’re trying to exchange these for the safety of the rest of the Lian family after you leave.”

There was no doubt in his tone. Lian Jing had already discerned certain things from Old Master Lian’s attitude towards Fu Ting in the few days after his return. However, he did not expect Old Master Lian to use this opportunity to clarify matters.

The Old Master bent over in a coughing fit. He took the hot tea from Shen Nian to moisten his throat before continuing, “You’re a smart child. Although the Lian family has let you down in many ways, we’re still related by blood. Showing them mercy will also provide yourself with a way out.”

Lian’e’s exile showed how ruthless Lian Jing was. Old Master Lian was certain that if he was not around, Lian’e actions and Fu Ting’s past deeds would be enough for Lian Jing to use his power to deal with their family.

Lian Jing pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Old Master Lian knew that he was still feeling uncomfortable. He lowered his head and looked at Shen Nian kindly. “Nian Nian is still young. After you introduce him to everyone in the Lian family, he will have many playmates of the same age. Those people will help Nian Nian in the future.”

Old Master Lian wanted to use Lian Jing’s weakness to achieve his goal. He had discerned Lian Jing’s thoughts long ago. In this world, only Shen Yin and Shen Nian could influence Lian Jing’s decision.

As expected, after hearing Old Master Lian’s words, Lian Jing nodded slightly and said, “Alright, I can agree to it, but I still need to settle certain matters. It’s just that I’ll leave them some leeway.”

Old Master Lian did not expect him to just forgive and forget. He smiled and nodded. “That’s good. A person’s words become more kindly on their deathbed. Lian Jing, if you’re too vicious, it will backfire on you. I’m willing to support you and Shen Yin against everyone’s objections because I saw that she has the ability to persuade you. I know that you can’t be bothered to even look at any other woman..”
