Chapter 992 The Miser Has Been Plucking Feathers
night.
Yan Bei returned home.
Shen Qing noticed his displeasure, and she understood what was wrong with Yan Bei.
So he went straight up and took Yan Bei's coat.
She said gently, "The food is ready, it's your favorite braised pork."
She cooked dinner tonight. She knew that Yan Bei loved her braised pork the most, and she wanted to let Yan Bei eat his favorite food to cheer him up.
"Mm!" Yan Bei simply responded softly.
Then he walked toward the dining table.
He pulled out a chair and sat down, all in one smooth motion.
Shen Qing walked over and sat down next to him.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his bowl.
"Try it, I just made it."
Yan Bei didn't speak, but nodded after putting the braised pork in his mouth. "Thank you, wife."
"No need to thank me." Shen Qing paused, then continued looking at Yan Bei, "Actually, I don't know how to comfort you, but this is all in the past. There's no use thinking about it anymore. Your mother is gone, and your grandfather has passed away. The two people involved in this matter are no longer in this world. Those who remain in this world are people who have nothing to do with this. You can't blame anyone who has nothing to do with this. You're very sad, and I'm very sad for you. But you can't keep dwelling on this."
After Shen Qing finished speaking, she stared intently at Yan Bei, waiting for his response.
Yan Bei twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Wife, I understand what you're saying. But I really can't let go of my feelings right now. Even if my mother was harmed by someone else, I could tolerate it, but the key is that she was harmed by my grandfather. They are all people related to me by blood, and I just can't stand it."
At this moment, Yan Bei's eyes were a little red. He looked as sad as a child.
Shen Qing reached out and covered Yan Bei's hand, which was resting on the table. "Don't be sad. I will always be by your side."
Yan Bei nodded.
Shen Qing didn't say much; that was all she could do.
At this moment, An'an and Kang Kang went downstairs.
"Mom, our drawing is finished."
"Okay, come and eat!"
Shen Qing went into the kitchen and brought out the children's meal she had made separately for An'an and Kang Kang. "This is for both of you. Eat up!"
"well."
An An Kang Kang ate her meal while keeping an eye on Yan Bei's expression.
"Mom, Dad seems unhappy," An'an said.
Shen Qing smiled and said, "Your dad is too busy with work every day, he's a little tired. You two can wash up after you finish eating, and then go back to your room to rest."
"it is good!"
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Shen Qing muttered, "Who's here so late at night?"
Sister Zhang came over and said, "I'll go open the door!"
Sister Zhang walked away, but returned a moment later.
"Young master, madam, that person claims to be your uncle."
Shen Qing said, "Could it be that Chen Jianguo has come again?"
Yan Bei was already in a bad mood, and seeing Chen Jianguo must have made him even worse.
"Let her go. Just tell her everyone is resting."
"it is good!"
Sister Zhang was about to walk towards the door.
Yan Bei suddenly spoke up, "Let him in."
Shen Qing looked at Yan Bei with suspicion, "You want your uncle to come in? What if he causes you more trouble?"
"I have something to tell him."
"OK then!"
Shen Qing then told Sister Zhang, "Let him in."
"Ok."
A moment later, Chen Jianguo walked in.
He was carrying something in his hand.
"Xiao Bei, Shen Qing, this is the fruit I bought for you. And some toys for the children."
Shen Qing looked at Zhang Jianguo in shock. Why was this miserly man suddenly so stingy?
"Uncle, what brings you here this time?" Shen Qing asked.
"Shen Qing, can't I come just because I'm fine? I just wanted to see my nephew and the children."
Shen Qing smiled slightly. Chen Jianguo always had something to ask of her when he came. Would he be so kind as to buy her something again this time?
"Uncle, please just say what you want to say!"
Chen Jianguo smiled and then looked at Yan Bei, "Uncle Xiao Bei does need your help today."
Yan Bei slowly raised his head, his face was very unpleasant, and even his eyes were somewhat sharp.
Seeing this, Chen Jianguo quickly said, "Xiao Bei, what's wrong with you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Bei interrupted, "I also have something to tell you."
"Xiao Bei, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Come with me!"
Yan Bei stood up and walked towards the study on the first floor.
Chen Jianguo followed him inside.
"Close the door," Yan Bei said.
Chen Jianguo casually closed the door.
"Sit down!" Yan Bei's tone was icy.
This left Chen Jianguo somewhat at a loss.
"Xiao Bei, I..."
"sit down."
Chen Jianguo had no choice but to sit on a leather chair next to him.
He looked at Yan Bei with an ambiguous expression.
She asked cautiously, "Xiao Bei, what do you need me for?"
Yan Bei turned to look at Chen Jianguo.
Do you know how my mother died?
“Your mother died in a car accident. Don’t you know that? It’s been so many years, why are you still asking me?”
"Was it an accident, a car crash, or was it deliberately caused?" Yan Bei continued to ask.
Chen Jianguo paused for a moment, then said, "Xiao Bei, what are you doing? So many years have passed, I've forgotten all about it."
"My mom's car accident was caused by someone, right?"
Chen Jianguo was taken aback. "Xiao Bei, why bring this up now?"
"I'll ask you one more time, was my mother's car accident caused by someone? Did someone deliberately hit her?" Yan Bei's expression was very serious, and he looked at Chen Jianguo.
"Xiao...Xiao Bei, do you know something?"
"I'm asking you."
Chen Jianguo twitched the corner of his mouth. "Xiao Bei, since you already know, then I'll tell you. Your mother's car accident was indeed caused by someone. But Xiao Bei, that happened so many years ago, what's the point of saying this now?"
Yan Bei curled the corner of his mouth and continued, "The person who made the car hit my mother was my grandfather, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo looked surprised. "Xiao Bei, how did you know?"
"I'm asking you, aren't you?"
"Yes!" Chen Jianguo nodded.
"You already knew about this, didn't you?"
"Xiao Bei, can we please not bring this up again? It's all in the past."
No. Why didn't you tell me if you knew about this?
Chen Jianguo paused, then sighed.
"Sigh! Xiao Bei, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that your dad won't let me."
"He won't let you speak?"
“Yes, I investigated your mother’s car accident. Later I heard that your grandfather hit her. I was heartbroken; my only sister was gone. So I went to your grandfather. He gave me some money and told me to keep it to myself.”
"You took his money, so you think this matter is just going to be over?"
“I did take his money back then and promised him I wouldn’t mention it again. But then I thought, it’s my sister’s life. So I went to your dad! Your dad gave me some more money and told me not to tell you about it, because he was afraid it would upset you. So I haven’t brought it up.”
