266 Education Methods

Shen Nian looked up pitifully and said, “I’m waiting for my parents and great-grandfather to come back for dinner.”

“My Nian Nian is such a good boy.” Old Master Lian patted his round head and pulled him to the dining table with a smile. As he walked, he asked the butler, “Are Lian Jing and Yin Yin back yet?”

Butler Chen shook his head awkwardly. When he met Old Master Lian’s surprised gaze, he could only stammer and explain, “They came back long ago, but they might be busy and they’ve gone upstairs. Why don’t I call them downstairs for dinner now?”

Old Master Lian seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously turned around to look at the staircase. He happened to hear a sound and saw Lian Jing tugging the arm of the person behind him.

When Lian Jing saw Old Master Lian, he first nodded politely and respectfully. Then, with a satisfied expression, he tugged at the person, who was so shy that she hid behind him and did not dare to come out. He placed his hands on her shoulders and reminded her softly, “Grandpa is back. Yin Yin, you should greet him.”

“Grandpa, you’re back.” Shen Yin was so embarrassed that she did not even dare to raise her head. With so many people waiting for the two of them at the dining table, surely they all knew what she and Liang Jing were doing just now!

It was all Lian Jing’s fault! Couldn’t he wait until after dinner… No! Even after dinner, she must not allow him to force her to wear that kind of dress and do that kind of thing!

Old Master Lian saw that their relationship was getting improving and he invited them to sit down with a smile.

Shen Nian stared at his parents resentfully, feeling indescribably injured and bitter. In the past, his mother had always put him first in everything. Now, she had abandoned Nian Nian, who had not eaten dinner, and run off with his father!

Shen Yin’s face was red. She sat between Old Master Lian and Shen Nian with her head lowered. Seeing her son’s pout, she asked worriedly, “Nian Nian, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Shen Nian’s pitiful gaze instantly turned to her. He pouted and said, “Nian Nian has been waiting for Mom to eat together.”

Shen Yin instantly understood why her son looked so grumpy. She immediately put food into his bowl guiltily. “Good boy. It’s Mommy’s fault. Nian Nian must be hungry, right? Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll put food in your bowl.”

Lian Jing, who was sitting opposite her, could not stand it anymore. He glared at Shen Nian sternly, but his words were directed at Shen Yin. “He’s a boy. Don’t spoil him too much.”

Shen Yin glared at him unhappily. “Nian Nian is only six years old. He’s still a child. Why can’t I spoil him?”

“Boys must not be spoiled, even when they’re young. They should not be acting pitiful all the time.” Lian Jing could go along with her in other matters, but he must be firm when it came to educating the Lian Family’s future successor.

Shen Yin immediately put down her chopsticks and said unhappily, “Nian Nian is very sensible. It’s a child’s nature to wheedle. When he grows up, he will naturally become a responsible man!”

Old Master Lian saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, he hurriedly told Lian Jing to shut up first. Then, he turned his head and looked at Shen Yin kindly. “Let’s eat first. Nian Nian is a good child. He was hungry, but he waited for you. The two of you can slowly discuss these matters in the future. Let’s eat first. No matter what, children can’t go hungry.”

“Mom.” Shen Nian knew he had made his mother angry. He immediately repented and personally stuffed the chopsticks into her hand. He said weakly, “Nian Nian won’t be willful anymore. Mom, hurry up and eat.”

Shen Nian had been the only bright spot in the dark six years that Shen Yin had lived through. Naturally, she showered him with love.

Her heart immediately softened when she saw her son humble himself and apologize to her. “Nian Nian, you’re a good boy. You didn’t do anything wrong. I won’t mention this anymore. Let’s eat first.”

Seeing that the two of them had reconciled but neither of them was willing to talk to him, Lian Jing’s expression instantly darkened.

Shen Yin was busy putting food in Shen Nian’s bowl and scooping soup for him. Then she handed a tissue to Old Master Lian. She was busy take care of the old and the young, but she did not even spare him a glance.

He did not think that he had said anything wrong. Boys should not be pampered too much, or they would develop a reckless personality. However, he did not want to fall out with Shen Yin at this time. He could only put on a cold expression and suddenly reach out to take the bowl of soup that Shen Yin was filling. He said softly, “Let me do it. Focus on your meal.”

Shen Yin was slightly stunned. When she saw the gratified smile on Old Master Lian’s face, she was instantly too embarrassed to be angry. She hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright, then help me scoop more soup. I don’t want any ribs.”

Lian Jing smiled and agreed. The atmosphere at the dining table finally regained its warmth.

After the meal, Shen Nian took the initiative to return to his room to sleep. He did not pester Shen Yin to accompany him more.

While Shen Yin was gratified, but her heart ached.

She and her son had always relied on each other. She did not want her son to think that she no longer valued him after she had Lian Jing, so she especially doted on Shen Nian.

Lian Jing saw this and recalled a hazy memory of his mother’s embrace. He suddenly became even more greedy for her gentleness.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
