Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 564 Irresponsible

　　”Did you get a reply from those irresponsible bastards?” said an old woman as she strode into the study room and raised her voice at the man who was sitting inside. Shen Tian was just reading his medical books calmly when his mother walked in and surprised the heck out of him, he pushed the book that he was reading away and the other notes that he has been taking just in time as his mother stomped in and planted her palms on the top of his table with a furious look in her eyes. ” Did they say that are going to a come to Shan’er’s adoption ceremony? I hope they are willing to give me face at the least.” 

Shen Tian sighed as he turned to look at his mother. ” You know that’s the elder brother and second brother will never agree to this, mother. They might be upset with what happened with Su Wan and Shen Shui but they will never let anyone else take their place, you can write a hundred letters to them and they will still respond the same way I am telling you. To them what you are doing is no different than you shaming Shen Shui’s memory.” 

Old madam Shen’s face turned livid. As she once again slammed her hands on the table and shouted, ” How am I shaming her memory? If that girl had just listened to me then she would have been alive now and the same could be said for her daughter both of them are stubborn and annoyingly trustful of people they shouldn’t be, what wrong I am doing here? I just want to have a granddaughter, you know it has been my dream. I just want to live with my granddaughter for a while before I die, if Wan Wan is not going to give me that comfort, I will just seek it somewhere else.! Or do you want me to die, without fulfilling my desires, is that you want? You want my soul to never be at peace, isn’t that it?”

Shen Tian had a headache because he was the youngest, and his mother used to love him the most. Back then he thought that his mother’s love was the greatest weapon he had against his two brothers, now he wished he was like his elder brothers—— Irresponsible and annoying brats. At least then the three of them would have to deal with their mother together and just not him.

He just returned to the country and now that he was back, his mother was once again clamouring about the same thing over again. A granddaughter. 

Though this time she was a bit more hyperactive than before, and Shen Tian wanted to know why was she acting like this—— he didn’t know what happened, but when he was off to the sea, his uncle came to their house and then who knows what kind of story his uncle spun in front of his mother, she not only accepted that man’s granddaughter in her house, she was also willing to take her as her granddaughter. 

Shen Tian knew that the girl knew how to sweet talk her way to his mother’s heart and she looked a bit like Su Wan too but in the end, that girl wasn’t Su Wan. She was some random girl that popped into their house and was now living like she was really biologically related to them. He couldn’t accept that —— though he didn’t stop his mother, he wasn’t going to accept just anyone as his niece. 

He will not dishonour his sister’s memory like that, his mother might have gone old and foolish but he hasn’t.

” Listening to your strong voice, I don’t think that you are going to leave so early, mother. Why don’t you try spending time with Chai, then that girl?” said Shen Tian, Chai was the cat that second brother brought for their mother. The cat wasn’t just pretty to look at, she was active, smart and knew how and what she needed to do to win Old madam Shen’s heart. Compared to Ji Shan, Shen Tian would like it more if his mother spent time with that cat.

” You too?” Old madam Shen looked at her son incredulously, she couldn’t believe that even her most beloved son was refusing to accept her decision. ” Why? Why are you and your wife so, against Shan’er, she is a sweet girl and as long as she stays next to me and makes me happy what’s wrong with that?”

Shen Tian had an urge to throw his hands, pack his bags and disappear like his brothers but he knew that if he did that his wife was going to kill him. So, he stayed where he was and simply let out an exaggerated sigh. ” There is nothing wrong with it, yes Ji Shan is a sweet girl and she keeps you happy—-“

” See that’s what I am talking about——”

” But she is not Wan Wan, mother.” finished Shen Tian as he stood up and took his mother by her shoulders and gently had her sit down on the chair he was sitting on just a moment ago. ” Just because she looks like Wan Wan, she will not become Wan Wan… she will not become your granddaughter. You can dress her up all you want as you used to dress Shen Shui but she will never become Su Wan for me, she didn’t come out of Shui Shui’s womb and I will not accept her as my niece.”

Shen Tian took a deep breath and looked away from his mother’s hurt expression. ” You can do whatever you want since you are Shui Shui’s mother but I cannot do that, I am her younger brother. If I let another girl take the place that belongs to her daughter, then I am afraid that I will not be able to face her in the afterlife.”

Old madam Shen’s expression turned green. ” But that girl doesn’t want us as her family members——”
