Chapter 1498: Wouldn’t Tell Even If Beaten to Death

Old Master Shen could already taste it with his very first bite—these dumplings weren’t ordinary.

If it were anyone else, hearing what Shen Yao passed along, they’d just think Shen Qi was holding a petty grudge because Shen Yan said his dumplings looked ugly, and since it was only two dumplings, they wouldn’t take it seriously.

But Old Master Shen knew: this grandson is still holding a grudge over how his granddaughter ruined his opportunity before.

He savored the dumplings carefully, feeling the heat spreading through his whole body as the energy from the dumplings settled in his body. He understood that what his granddaughter threw away this time wasn’t just two dumplings, but a huge benefit.

However, that Shen Yan had been raised crooked; the way she talks and acts is completely lacking the bearing and tolerance of the Shen Family. She’s not only vain but arrogant. The decision not to let Shen Yan come back was originally made by him.

It’s just, first, today is the first day of the New Year, and it wouldn’t look good to kick her out; second, his eldest son and daughter-in-law had come back today as well, so he was giving the couple some face.

Therefore, if Shen Qi wouldn’t let Shen Yan eat the dumplings he personally wrapped, why would he stick his nose in?

Grandma Shen, on the other hand, couldn’t stand seeing her granddaughter wronged and wanted to give her own dumplings to Shen Yan: "My stomach is too full, I can’t eat anymore. Shen Yan, you eat mine."

How could Shen Yan feel okay about eating Grandma’s dumplings? She was just about to decline when she heard the old master say, "What’s wrong with you? These are dumplings your grandson wrapped with his own hands to show his filial respect to you, and you’re actually giving them to someone else?"

Of course, most importantly, he didn’t want his wife to miss this opportunity.

Only then did Grandma Shen remember these were dumplings her grandson had personally wrapped to honor her, and she grew embarrassed: "Oh, Yanyan, I’m sorry. Since your brother wrapped these dumplings himself, even if I can’t finish them, I still can’t give them away."

Originally, Tie Xinyu had also wanted to help her daughter out of the awkwardness by giving her own bowl of dumplings to her, but after hearing what her father-in-law said, she instantly couldn’t bear to give them away.

That’s right, her son personally wrapped dumplings for them on the first day of the New Year, and if they gave them away, wouldn’t that be sending him the message that they didn’t value his filial piety?

She could only give a wry smile and say to her daughter, "Sorry, Yanyan. Since that’s how it is, Mom can’t give you mine either. There are still dumplings from yesterday in the kitchen; go heat a few up for yourself."

Heating up yesterday’s leftover dumplings for herself—how could that be the same as eating dumplings her own little brother personally wrapped for the family?

The dumplings themselves weren’t what mattered; it was the meaning behind them, okay?

She didn’t know that, in fact, the dumplings themselves were very important. The Spiritual Energy in the dumplings could make her body younger, and after being refined by the Spiritual Energy, she would even become a bit prettier.

Shen Yan’s face showed a mix of helplessness and grievance, but to give herself a way to step down, she still went to the kitchen on her own and heated up a few of yesterday’s dumplings to eat.

Shen Jianian pulled his son into his study: "Son, are you on bad terms with your sister? Your mom and I are often not at home, and when you were little it was your sister who raised you. It hasn’t been easy for her either. If there are things she hasn’t done well, just cut her some slack."

Shen Qi thought to himself, it wasn’t his sister who raised him; it was his grandma. Never mind how his sister used to bully him when they were children—half a year ago she even sabotaged his opportunity.

He let out a sigh. Should he tell his dad the truth?

Thinking it through, if he didn’t tell the whole story, his dad probably wouldn’t let him off, so he could only say, "Dad, I’d rather not have this kind of sister."

He told his father about what Shen Yan had done to Nan Mengyu, especially emphasizing how she insulted his Master when she went to Xiangyang County to pick him up.

Of course, with the lesson from last time, even when the other party was his father, he only mentioned what he could say, and the things he couldn’t say, he wouldn’t tell even if beaten to death.
