Chapter 120: Coming of Age Ceremony and a Show of Power
Shen Weiyi’s coming-of-age ceremony arrived in the blink of an eye.
After that day, when Uncle Shen and Second Uncle Shen went back, nobody knew what they told Mr. Shen, but thereafter, the Shen Family members did not visit again.
Even the old man did not call to scold anyone.
It was unknown what he was holding back.
However, what Mr. Shen thought was unimportant; trying to scheme against him and his daughter required some competence.
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the Shen Family did send someone, but only Uncle Shen’s family came.
"Third brother, father has not been feeling well these past few days, the doctor said it’s not suitable for him to go out, and the second brother’s family stayed at home to take care of him, don’t take it to heart," Uncle Shen said with an honest face, cheerfully presenting the gift.
Off to the side, Shen Tan pulled Shen Weiyi aside to whisper, "The old man isn’t sick; I saw him sitting in the courtyard drinking tea this morning. But don’t be angry. I heard it was because the youngest uncle refused grandfather’s wish to host your coming-of-age ceremony at home, so he intentionally stirred up this drama. I think the old man is just being senile. It doesn’t matter where the ceremony is held, and by causing such a fuss, he’s just making us the laughing stock to outsiders."
Shen Weiyi and Shen Juanzhi were both aware of this.
"It’s okay, I don’t mind." Shen Weiyi smiled. After so many years, she had gotten used to it.
Seeing that she genuinely did not seem to mind, Shen Tan relaxed and took out the gift she had prepared in advance, "Here, this is a gift I carefully picked for you. Happy coming-of-age, and congratulations on getting into Z University."
"Thank you!" Shen Weiyi took the gift and said with a smile, "Let me take you inside to sit." Although most of the Shen Family did not appreciate her and her father, there were still one or two sincere people.
