Shen Yu’s heart was melted by how the girl held his arm so closely. He reached out and patted Emily’s head. How could he refuse the request of such a cute little girl?

Shen Yu and Emily were happily eating take-out, but the atmosphere at the Shen family’s old residence was completely different.

When Shen Yan returned, he heard the butler talk about what happened at home. His face turned dark, and Shen Nan stood in the middle of the main hall in fear.

The chairs in the hall were filled with people. Almost everyone who lived in the Shen family’s old residence was there.

Shen Nan’s mother, Third Aunt, felt sorry for her youngest son who was standing at the center of the family’s attention. However, she didn’t dare to say anything. She knew very well that the more she tried to help Shen Nan, the heavier the punishment Shen Nan would receive.

Shen Yan looked at Shen Nan without saying a word.

Shen Nan stood still, his expression clearly saying that he didn’t think he did anything wrong.

In his mind, Shen Nan kept recalling what Shen Xue had told him just now.

“Brother Shen Nan, I… I think Fifth Brother did it on purpose. Fifth Brother dragged Emily away on purpose. As long as Fifth Brother doesn’t leave, even if Emily leaves, Grandpa will surely not blame you.”

When Shen Nan heard Shen Xue’s words, he came to a sudden realization. He felt that what Shen Xue said was not implausible. In fact, it was rather logical.

Even if Emily left the Shen family, no one would not blame Shen Xue for an outsider. However, if Shen Nan left along with her, it would be a different matter altogether.

After all, his Fifth Brother, Shen Nan, was one of the most important people in the family.

“Father, I think Shen Nan already knows that he’s wrong. Would it be alright if I told Shen Nan to bring Shen Yu and Emi back?”

Third Aunt looked nervously at Shen Nan who continued to stand silently in the middle of the hallway. The stubborn expression on his face showed that he had not realized his mistake at all.

If he said anything that further angered Shen Yan, it would be difficult for this to end well.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Shen Nan didn’t realize that his mother was trying to help him. He only felt that he was wrongfully accused.

“Look at this. This is the good son that you’ve raised.”

When Shen Yan heard Shen Nan’s words, he was so furious that he smacked the handle of the armchair beside him.

“Butler, get me the Family Law.”

“Dad, you can’t do that.”
