Chapter 152 - 152 139 He Should Be Flamboyant and Full of

?Chapter 152: Chapter 139: He Should Be Flamboyant and Full of Strength Chapter 152: Chapter 139: He Should Be Flamboyant and Full of Strength Hearing the commotion, Su Yang had the strongest reaction.

Her complexion changed instantly, and she instinctively looked towards Shen Jingxiu, who was sitting on the couch.

“Could it be that your dad and Jinghe had a falling out? I’ll go up and take a look!”

Just as Su Yang was about to move, she saw Shen Jingchuan hurriedly descending the stairs.

He walked swiftly, and his expression looked terrible.

Su Yang was just about to stop him and ask what had happened when Shen Yuan came chasing after him.

Trailing not far behind Shen Yuan was the slowly emerging figure of Shen Jinghe.

One look was enough to tell that there were no conflicts between Shen Jinghe and Shen Yuan; rather, something had transpired between Shen Yuan and his son, Shen Jingchuan.

Shen Yuan soon raised his voice loudly, telling Shen Jingchuan to stop.

Shen Jingchuan initially had no intention of staying in that house, but with Shen Yuan’s shout, he actually froze in place.

He turned to look at Shen Yuan, his eyes filled with anger, mixed with a trace of contempt.

“What do you want me to stop for? Is there a company or a huge sum of money you want to give me?”

Shen Yuan frowned, “Did you hear everything just now?”

Shen Jingchuan sneered, “Afraid I’d hear it after daring to do it? When have you ever cared about my feelings? You’ve always favored the second, always coddling him!”

The more Shen Jingchuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and the more unchecked his words became as he spoke:
“Is his career somehow nobler than mine, huh? Is he not just performing in plays for others’ entertainment? Is he truly more successful than me?

“Why do you keep pushing things onto him that he doesn’t want, while you refuse to give me the things I ask for! Wasn’t he the one who got kidnapped when he was young?

“Yes, I was never kidnapped when I was young, but what about the eldest? Wasn’t he kidnapped along with the second?

“Both were kidnapped, so why is the second one treated as the sorely aggrieved? You always felt sorry for him since he was little, always pampering him.

“But as a fellow victim, are you unaware of how he’s treated the eldest? Don’t you see the cold violence he’s shown towards our oldest brother since they were kids?

“From the very beginning, you’ve only ever felt you owed him, but do you not think you also owe the eldest brother? Oh no, you definitely don’t think so. Because you’ve already handed over the company to him.

“So I want to ask, what have you given me? I’m not interested in the company and I don’t want to compete with the eldest, but when you sent me abroad, did you ever care about me?

“Yes, I admit I have a terrible temper, and maybe I’ve been a bit of a scoundrel at times, but did I really cause all of this by myself?

“If you can’t be fair to all your children, offering them the same fatherly love, then you shouldn’t have had so many in the first place!”

Shen Jingchuan frenziedly vented, letting out the words he had held back in his heart for over a decade.

He knew he wasn’t perfect, and in fact, he also wanted to prove himself through his own efforts, not necessarily by living off his parents.

But now, having said these words in front of his father, he felt incredibly relieved!

From beginning to end, Shen Yuan couldn’t find an opening to interject.

Being accused by his youngest son in front of so many people, his face instantly fell.

Those who knew him were aware that this was a sign of his anger.

Shen Jingxiu, being closer to Shen Jingchuan, stood up, leaning on the back of the couch, and grasped Shen Jingchuan’s forearm.

He lowered his voice to calm his brother, “Jingchuan, calm down, take a seat, and let’s talk it out peacefully.”

Shen Jingchuan’s most prominent trait was his explosive temper; it was impossible to get him to calm down when he was in the throes of anger.

Completely unaware of Shen Jingxiu’s current physical limitations, he shook off his grip with a jerk.

“I can’t be calm!”

The force of Shen Jingchuan’s reflexive shove was not slight, and Shen Jingxiu, unsteady on his feet, collapsed onto the couch.

Shen Jingchuan couldn’t help but frown as he caught sight of this scene from the corner of his eye.

He didn’t understand why the eldest brother was putting on a weak front here today, as if there was absolutely no need for it.

Wenyan, who was closest to Shen Jingxiu at the moment, feared that he might hurt his leg which already had a fractured bone, and quickly came over to support him.

“Fourth Brother~” After helping Shen Jingxiu sit steadily, Wenyan said in a soft voice to Shen Jingchuan, “Big Brother had a car accident today, a bone fracture, and just came back from the hospital after getting it fixed.”

What?!

Shen Jingchuan didn’t know what came over him, but as soon as he heard Wenyan’s gentle voice, his anger seemed to diminish considerably.

He immediately glanced at Shen Jingxiu’s legs and indeed noticed that one was more rigid.

He immediately apologized to Shen Jingxiu, “I’m sorry, Big Brother, I didn’t know you had a car accident. I was too forceful just now.”

“It’s okay.” Of course, Shen Jingxiu wouldn’t blame Shen Jingchuan for this.

However, just as he was about to say something more, he was immediately interrupted by Shen Jingchuan.

Because Shen Jingchuan had an idea of what he was probably going to say, which was nothing more than mediating between him and the old man.

But he didn’t want to listen.

He turned to look at Wenyan and took out a small black velvet box from his trouser pocket.

“This is for you, to celebrate your discharge. I hope this little thing can keep you safe and ward off any disasters in the future. Ugh, listen to me talking, I take that back, I hope you always stay healthy and trouble-free. I’m leaving!”

Wenyan had never expected Shen Jingchuan to prepare a gift for her. Before she could react, Shen Jingchuan took her hand, and then stuffed the little box into her palm.

She could even feel the warmth from Shen Jingchuan on the box.

But Shen Jingchuan had already turned and left.

Su Yang called after him, her voice choked with emotion, “Aren’t you staying, son?”

Shen Jingchuan paused for a moment but still said ‘no’ without turning his head.

Su Yang was frantic and immediately shook Shen Yuan’s arm.

Shen Yuan’s feelings were a complex mix, hard to define.

To say his son had a bad temper, yet he apologized after pushing his injured older brother, and even brought a gift to celebrate his sister’s discharge from the hospital, all amidst such a tense atmosphere.

But with himself…

However, after reflection, Shen Yuan realized he really should have a good talk with his younger son.

So, upon Su Yang’s repeated urging, Shen Yuan found an opening to speak.

“Jingchuan, don’t leave. Come to the study with me, let’s have a good talk.”

After hesitating for two seconds, Shen Jingchuan turned back and looked at Shen Yuan before asking him.

“Alright, then if I ask you for an investment now, will you give it to me?”

Shen Yuan’s brow immediately furrowed, “Can’t you stop talking about investments every time you open your mouth? Is there nothing else we can talk about besides investment between father and son?”

The matter of investment was a sore point for Shen Jingchuan; what he wanted was simply an affirmation of his business from his father.

It’s not necessarily that he wanted his father to provide the funds; he could raise investment on his own out there, it would just require a lot of effort.

Shen Jingchuan felt disappointed in Shen Yuan for the second time that evening.

He still appeared tall and upright, but his shadow cast on the ground looked so desolate.

But Shen Jingchuan shouldn’t be like this; he should be bold and full of strength.

Wenyan subconsciously chased after him.
