Chapter 234: Unbearable Words

Before Nan Zhe called, Shen Yanqing had indeed known about this.
However, he did not know much earlier than Nan Zhe.
At first, he knew what his mother wanted to do in the capital. As it had nothing to do with him, he did not try to learn anything.
Therefore, he only found out very late that something had happened to his mother in the capital.
He did not Imow the exact situation at first, but after hearing his cousin’s words, he realized that this matter was not simple.
However, he still did not contact his mother.
He had only received a call from his mother this afternoon. He had officially understood the cause and effect of the matter and the severity of it.
On the balcony, Shen Yanqing turned around and looked behind him. His younger cousin was playing games with a child from a distant relative’s family and did not notice him.
Retracting his gaze, he leaned against the wall and replied without thinking,
“I don’t intend to interfere.”
Hearing this, Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows.
“Do you know about everything she did?”
“Yes. I basically know everything.” Shen Yanqing had no intention of hiding anything and said seriously, “My mother contacted me this afternoon.” “Didn’t she beg you? Or did she attempt to guilt trip you into helping?”
It should not be considered begging, but according to Shen Yanqing’s mother’s personality, she would definitely use her identity as his mother to force him to compromise.
“Yes. After I hung up, she kept sending me messages, but I didn’t read them.”
This was also the reason why he did not touch his phone the entire afternoon.
“Putting aside the impact this matter will have on me in the future, I don’t think she can still develop steadily in the capital with my interference. Moreover, I don’t think staying in the capital is a good thing for her.”
“As far as I know, the main powers backed by a few families in the capital have already formed three camps. No matter which one of them it is, they can’t monopolize the market for the time being.”
“As for my mother, be it integrating or choosing to establish a fourth faction, she will definitely be targeted. There won’t be a good outcome.”
The three of them were fighting to the death. How could they tolerate others interfering and taking a share of the pie? Even if someone joined one side, the other two sides would naturally join forces. They were not to be trifled with.
“I know what you’re worried about.” Shen Yanqing understood Nan Zhe’s feelings. ‘You can rest assured that I won’t interfere.”
“From the moment I learned that my mother wanted to stay in the capital, I knew this day would come. My feelings about this are as unwavering as ever.” Hearing this, Nan Zhe finally heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re smart.”
“You should have heard of my little uncle from Nan Ge, right?”
Shen Yanqing responded.
Only then did Nan Zhe dare to mention Nan Ge. “Little Uncle came today and told Nan Ge about your mother hoping that she could persuade you. You have to be glad that it wasn’t Nan Ge who came to look for you.”
“If Nan Ge could not talk you out of it, she would definitely have broken up with you.”
The man chuckled softly. He knew what Nan Zhe meant.
This matter would implicate the Nan family.
“It’s not just now. In the future, my choice on similar issues will be the same as now.”
He would not push Nan Ge or the Nan family to the edge of the cliff for his own benefit.
“I’ll call Nan Ge later.’
Nan Zhe replied, “As long as you say so. Since we’re family in the future, just let me know if you ever need us. Alright, call Nan Ge now.”
With that, he hung up without waiting for Shen Yanqing to reply.
The knock on the door and the phone rang at the same time.
Nan Ge looked down at her phone. It was indeed Shen Yanqing.
However, with Nan Zhe’s reminder, she did not dare to answer it. She could only open the door first.
The door opened. Nan Zhe turned sideways and did not look at her. “It’s fine. Pick up the phone.”
Nan Ge’s eyes lit up. After watching him turn around and go downstairs, she retreated to her room. The phone was still ringing, and the other party seemed to be deliberately waiting for her.
Nan Ge could not wait to answer the call. “Shen Yanqing!”
The man on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned.
She could not hide the excitement in her tone.
Shen Yanqing also smiled. “Are you that happy?
Nan Ge was about to respond when she seemed to have thought of something and immediately wilted.
“Ah, nothing. It’s just… Uh.”
His mother was in such an awkward situation now. It was not good for her to be too happy.
She stumbled and did not say anything. Fortunately, Shen Yanqing was used to helping her get out of an awkward conversation. “My mother’s matter will not affect us.”
“Then if you don’t help her, will she let you off just like that?”
“I blacklisted her number, but she used someone else’s number to send me a message. I didn’t even look at it.”
“Besides, I talked to her once last year and said that we wouldn’t have anything to do with each other anymore.”
In that case…
Nan Ge changed the topic at the right time. The two of them chatted for a while more before Shen Yanqing hung up.
Putting away his phone, Shen Yanqing turned around and returned to the room. He met his father’s gaze and the two of them walked out of the room under his younger cousin’s gaze.
In the study, Shen Yanqing’s father sat down with a worried expression. “What did she say to you on the phone?”
He did not mention a name, but both father and son knew who they were referring to.
When his father suddenly asked this, Shen Yanqing guessed that his mother must have contacted his father because she could not get through to him.
Instead of answering, he asked another question.
“What did Mother say to you again?”
“It’s just some unpleasant words. It’s not worth mentioning.” Mr. Shen waved his hand, not wanting to mention it.
It was not that he did not want to say it, but he could not bring himself to utter them.
Throughout the entire process, she was criticizing the father and son, especially Shen Yanqing. She had a very strong opinion of him. Some of her words were even a little vicious. How was this what a mother would say to her son?
From these words, he roughly understood the conflict between the mother and son.
He did not think there was anything wrong with Shen Yanqing’s actions. On the contrary, he agreed.
Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and smiled. “After I rejected her, what my mother said to me should be similar to what you heard.”
Looking at his son, Mr. Shen suddenly sighed. “You did very well. Don’t contact her in the future. I told her to look for me if she has any problems in the future.”
“It’s fine.” Mr. Shen patted his shoulder. “She has always been selfish. Your choice was not wrong. Even if you help her this time, based on her ambition, this kind of thing will definitely happen again.”
“I’ll talk to her face-to-face another day and ask her not to disturb you anymore. Since she has a new family and a new life overseas now, why does she have to come back and disturb our peace?”
Shen Yanqing wanted to say no, but Mr. Shen’s attitude was very firm. Mr. Shen rarely had such a side to him, so he was probably very angry..
