Mrs. Lu was on the other side greeting other guests. When she saw the members of the Shen family, she hastily excused herself and walked over.
She had watched Shen Weiyin grow up. No matter how well children disguised their thoughts, an adult could see right through them. The Shen family and the Lu family used to be equals. If Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan had become a couple then, it would have been considered a match made in heaven. However, no one could help with unrequited love.
Mrs. Lu had also read the gossip about Lu Beichuan and Shen Weiyin, so she naturally knew why Ye Zhen didn't want to see Shen Weiyin.
"Old Master Shen, you're here." Mrs. Lu was a sentimental person. Seeing Old Master Shen, who was around the same age as her deceased father-in-law, she was reminded of Old Master Lu. The rims of her eyes gradually reddened. Smiling, she turned her face to wipe her tears. "The weather is so bad. Don't keep standing and hurt your body. Sit down."
Old Master Shen sighed, sat down, and offered condolences. "At his age, even if he didn't get cancer, he would have died a natural death. No one can accurately grasp fate. I used to always think I would go before him… The world is unpredictable."
"Don't say that. With your good health, you still have many years to enjoy blessings. When Weiyin finds a boyfriend, you have to watch her get married and have children!"
Old Master Shen glanced at Shen Weiyin. "I can't control this child. Whether I can see her getting married and having children, it'll depend entirely on how long my old bones can last." He looked around. "Oh right, how come I haven't seen Shaoyan yet?"
"After Old Master Lu passed away in the hospital, Shaoyan locked himself in his room and won't see anyone."
Old Master Shen furrowed his brow. "This child… Well, it makes sense. That old man spoiled him so much. It's normal that he can't accept his passing for a period of time."
Then, he looked at Shen Weiyin. "If you don't mind, let Weiyin go see him. Weiyin ah, you should know how to persuade him and talk sense into him. It won't be good for him to continue like this."
Ye Zhen was sitting next to Mrs. Lu and quietly listening to their conversation. She couldn't help furrowing her brow when she heard those words from Old Master Shen.
When did Lu Shaoyan form such a close relationship with Shen Weiyin? Based on Old Master Shen's tone, it wasn't as simple as them being ordinary friends.
Mother Lu was about to have someone bring Shen Weiyin to Lu Shaoyan's room, but Ye Zhen stood up. "I'll take Miss Shen over there."
Mother Lu was surprised, but she didn't refuse after seeing Ye Zhen's expression.
"Then I'll have to trouble Mrs. Lu." Shen Weiyin followed behind Ye Zhen and left the living room. When they were walking through a covered corridor, there was a gust of howling wind. It felt like an icy knife that scraped to the bone.
Ye Zhen didn't say anything. Shen Weiyin also kept silent, but Ye Zhen could still feel Shen Weiyin's burning gaze on her back. It felt like the tip of a sword was touching her back.
Neither of them said a word the entire way there.
When Ye Zhen led Shen Weiyin to Lu Shaoyan's room, she knocked on the door. "Little Uncle, Miss Shen is here to see you."
There was no movement inside the room.
Ye Zhen said to Shen Weiyin with a solemn expression, "Miss Shen, this is Little Uncle's room. From what I heard of Old Master Shen's tone, you seem to be friends with him?"
Shen Weiyin lightly nodded. "En."
Ye Zhen found the situation even stranger after hearing Shen Weiyin's short reply.
She couldn't see any of that jealousy and resentment in Shen Weiyin's eyes from two years ago. Those eyes directly looked at her as if she was a mere stranger. Did she really give up that resentment, or did she hide it too deeply, so she couldn't see it?
