Chapter 24 - Let’s Make A Deal

Hearing Shen Xia speaking made Shen Xu blow his top in anger. "What right do you have to speak when adults are speaking!? Are you not ashamed of the mess you caused already!? If not for you..."

Shen Xia couldn't take it anymore. The anger she has always held in could no longer be contained. "If not for me, what? Unc…. Shen Xu, I suggest you shut up and listen carefully since it can benefit your daughter just as much as that face of yours and the Shen family name you say so dearly needs to be protected."

"You! You little bitch you are nothing but a damn orph… an… Cough! Cough!" Shen Xu couldn't even finish what he was saying when his throat suddenly felt like it was being grasped by something.

"Father!" Shen Bai panicked, seeing her father's face suddenly turn bright red as he grasped at his throat. 

"Enough!" Shen Xia turned and looked at Kable, whose expression was cold. She could sense that this man did something. 

Hearing Shen Xia yell made Kable snort as he stopped using his power. Kable could not stand it when someone was saying such things to his fluff fluff. Shen Xu was lucky that his fluff fluff stopped him.

Shen Xu fell to the ground gasping for air. He looked up at Shen Xia fearfully, trying to figure out what had occurred was her doing or not. Shen Yi, who stayed quiet the entire time, patted his granddaughter on the head and said: "Go ahead, finish what you were going to say."

"Mmm… I will make you a deal. Shen Xu, if you let Xin'er stay with me from now on and no longer have anything to do with her, we can say that everything had been falsified by a third party. All the pictures were faked. Not only will this save your daughter's reputation but also the Shen family name.  But… you have to sign over adoption papers to grandma and grandpa. At least that way, two people out of the younger generation of the Shen Clan will be able to turn out normal. I think my deal is rather good, is it not?" Shen Xia looked at Shen Xu with a raised eyebrow. She wondered if he would take this deal to save face or if his arrogance would take control.

"Father, do as she says, sign the adoption papers and let Grandma and Grandpa raise the little traitor who went against us!" Shen Bai couldn't wait to get rid of the little bitch who set her up. This also meant more inheritance for her when she got older. 

Shen Xu fell into deep thought when something came to mind. He smiled as he said: "I will take this deal, but you must be the one who signs the adoption papers. I do not wish to have her in line to receive a single cent from my family!" Shen Xu saw no use in his younger daughter anymore. She was someone who turned against him which made her useless to his future goals. Although he was currently siding with Shen Chen, he still had the ambition to take everything from his brother one day. And useless tools to reach that goal were not worth his time. Although Shen Bai screwed up big time this time, she was still useful to him.

Shen Xia had not expected him to make such a request. She did not know how to answer back, so she looked up at her grandpa, who nodded his head. "We will have my lawyer handle the paperwork. From this moment on, Shen Xia will be Xin'er's parental guardian. Shen Xu, you will have nothing more to do with her anymore. I will also be moving out of the Shen residence and taking all properties under my name as well. Since you all turned out like this, I want nothing more to do with you all. As of now, you have all gotten everything you can out of this old man. What you do with the company and the properties under your name is up to you."

Shen Yi was done. He was too old for this crap. He did not like how his sons were both trying to dig everything they could out of him. He had to leave something to his Xiaxia. And now he had to think about Xin'er's future as well. Since this was the case, he would rather move to a villa away from the main house and let them do as they see fit. But he would also make sure everything that was still under his name would stay under his name until it could be passed on to his two grandchildren. 

"Father! If you move out, what would our business partners think!?" Shen Xu couldn't stand for this. If his father really moved out, they would lose a lot of business! The Shen cooperation's stocks would plummet! 

"What do I care!? You and your brother already forced me to sign over half my possessions! That includes the entirety of the company! If you can't keep it going, that has nothing to do with me!" Shen Yi yelled. He was sick of it all. He had put up with everything all these years, and today was the final straw. He saw how much family meant to his sons. First, it was his eldest brother, and now it was Shen Xu. They all seemed to not care one bit about family. Little did they know that the Shen family head was neither of them but the little girl they had always looked down on. He had decided after hearing everything today that he would do something he had been thinking about for a while now. If it was not for Shen Xu making a point that Shen Xia was eighteen now and could even adopt a child, he would not have thought of it.

"Fath..." Shen Yu wanted to protest, but he suddenly felt a great pressure being placed on him. He turned to look at Kable, who was staring coldly at him, and lowered his head. He understood that no matter what he said right now, nothing good was going to happen. But he knew one thing. None of this would have happened if Shen Xia had not retaliated against his daughter. He would make sure to make her pay later on.

"My Vorn family will oversee the adoption papers. Master Shen, I hope you will move your two granddaughters and your wife into one of the villas under your name. I also would like to ask if you can take my niece in as well. I worry about her living on her own at such an age." Kable's tone was much different when talking with Shen Yi, He was very respectful unlike his attitude with Shen Xu.
