Chapter 42: Chapter 42 - Growth?

“Why?”

Shen Yan was a little puzzled. Shen Yu had agreed to go to school because of Emily. If they were not in the same class, would Shen Yu just leave when he was unhappy?

“I say, old man, why are you going back to your old ways? You don’t even understand such simple logic? Tell me, do you want Millie to be able to fend herself by letting her go to school?”

Seeing that Shen Yan did not speak, Old Lady Shen continued to speak.

“If Millie has Xiao Yu by her side to protect her in everything, how do you think Millie will grow up?”

Old Lady Shen could see that Shen Yu cared about Millie. He was even a little overbearing. Even if the people in his family were too close to Millie and distracted her attention, Shen Yu would still be unhappy.

It was very difficult for Emily to grow up under Shen Yu’s protection.

Old Lady Shen sighed and continued, “Millie is a very sensible child. Although we adopted her because she could help Shen Yu, since we adopted her, we have to be responsible. Millie should have her own life. We should not let Millie follow Xiao Yu around.”

“I know what you’re saying, but I’m afraid that Xiao Yu will be angry with his temper.”

Shen Yan frowned. Shen Yu finally said that he wanted to go to school. If they were not in the same class, wouldn’t the gains outweigh the losses?

“You’ve only grown older after so many years, haven’t you?”

Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Yan with some disdain.

“You actually despise me?”

“I’ve despised you for so many years. It’s not like you’re the first to know. Why are you making such a fuss?”

Old Lady Shen was not afraid at all as she looked at Shen Yan who was a little angry. After all, they had supported each other for so many years and had gone through many ups and downs. How could they really quarrel over such a small matter?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hmph, since you’re smart, I’ll leave this matter to you. Don’t cry for my help when the time comes,” Shen Yan said disdainfully, then turned around with his back facing Old Lady Shen. He did not want to bother with Old Lady Shen now.

“I’ll do it then. Don’t underestimate me.”

Old Lady Shen was even more unconcerned about Shen Yan’s provocation. Then, she used her arm to bump into Shen Yan.

“Turn off the lights.”

Although Shen Yan was reluctant, he still reached out to turn off the lights.

Old Lady Shen smiled. After so many years, he was still as childish as ever.

The next morning, Old Lady Shen called Emily to her side.

“Millie, yesterday, I discussed with your grandfather. I think that you should go to school at your age. When kid Shen Nan starts school, you can go with him.”

Emily’s eyes widened. She could not believe what she had heard.

“Really? Grandma, can I really go to school?”

“You child, will Grandma still play with you?”

Second Aunt was folding her clothes at the side. She looked at Emily’s reaction with amusement. Could this child be so happy that she had gone mad?

“No, no. I’m just too happy.”

Emily hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, but she could not close her mouth with a smile.

Before her father’s accident, he had also said that he would send her to school.

Before coming to the Shen family, she had never dared to think that she could still go to school.

“That’s great. When the time comes, Sister will be in the same class as me. When the time comes, I’ll take care of Sister.”

Shen Nan patted his chest and spoke confidently.

Shen Yu was a little unhappy when he heard Shen Nan’s words. His face was gloomy, and the chess book in his hand was almost crumpled into a ball by him.

“That’s true. Millie and Xiao Nan are only a little more than a year apart. When the time comes, Xiao Nan can still take care of Millie in the same class.”

Third Aunt, who was at the side, spoke with great gratification.

She was now very fond of Emily. She had seen the changes in Shen Nan in the past few days.

Shen Yu looked at Shen Nan unhappily. He did not need Shen Nan to take care of Emily.

Shen Nan felt his Fifth Brother’s gaze and did not dare to breathe loudly. He did not seem to have done anything wrong recently, nor did he say anything wrong.

“That’s really great.”

Upon hearing Shen Nan’s words, Emily instantly became excited. Although reading was very pleasant, Emily was still a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment. Now that she knew someone in the same class, she instantly felt relieved.

“No.”

Shen Yu threw the chess book on the sofa, his face gloomy.
