Chapter 678: Chapter 708: The Old Madam Wants to Hold the Baby
She was a thoroughly muddle-headed old lady.
Old Mrs. Shen believed that since her eldest son was rich, it was only natural for him to support his younger brother and sister.
As a result, she ended up spoiling her daughter and second son rotten.
As for Shen Xiaoya, that woman was really something else. Whether in her past life or this one, she married several times, and every husband she found was a scumbag.
She was lazy and indulgent, never wanting to get a job, and relied entirely on her brother, Shen Zhengfeng. After getting married, she brought her husband along to live as a freeloader as well.
Even after being cheated repeatedly, she never learned her lesson. She always played the victim, acting as if the entire world had wronged her.
Of course, before Shen Zhengfeng and Du Liya divorced, Shen Xiaoya had often ganged up with Old Mrs. Shen to bully Du Liya. She knew that Du Liya loved her brother, so she could get away with any amount of bullying, making her completely brazen.
And when Du Liya and Shen Zhengfeng divorced, Shen Xiaoya, banking on the fact that she would have a new sister-in-law, mocked Du Liya and kicked her while she was down in every way possible.
In all these years, she had never shown any aunt-like affection toward Shen Yi.
In other words, if Shen Yi weren’t so successful now, Shen Xiaoya probably wouldn’t have even remembered she had a nephew.
It’s said that blood is thicker than water.
But even the thickest blood can be thinned by indifference.
Qin Jiao politely let the two of them in and poured them some water. She calmly asked, "Is there something I can help you with?"
Old Mrs. Shen looked all around. "Where are the children? We came to see the children."
"Oh, unfortunately, they’re both asleep."
Old Mrs. Shen didn’t believe her, so she got up and walked to the nursery. She found Su Yun there, and sure enough, both babies were indeed asleep.
The baby boy was dressed in a little blue outfit, and the baby girl was in a pink one.
Old Mrs. Shen’s affectionate gaze fell upon the older twin, Qin Zijin.
This was her great-grandson!
Most elderly people love children, and Old Mrs. Shen was no exception. But because she had disliked Shen Feng, she had disliked his child as well.
Of course, she disliked Shen Feng’s wife, Lin Nian, even more.
Although she didn’t like this Qin Jiao either, she couldn’t help it—the baby on the bed was just too cute.
So, as she was thinking this, Old Mrs. Shen reached out to pick up the baby. Su Yun had been wary ever since they came in and, seeing the old lady’s movement, immediately put out a hand to stop her.
"The baby just fell asleep. Let him rest for a while."
Qin Jiao also spoke up, "Are you here to see Shen Yi? I’ve called him. He’ll be back in a little while."
At the mention of Shen Yi, Old Mrs. Shen came back to her senses, but she still gazed reluctantly at the baby, feeling even more annoyed with Su Yun.
’What’s she so smug about? So what if she’s the one looking after him? That’s the heir to our Shen family!’
Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoya was worried about angering Qin Jiao, especially since they had come to ask for a favor. She took the initiative and pulled the old woman out of the bedroom and back to the living room.
Old Mrs. Shen still looked displeased, but Shen Xiaoya gave her a tug and then said to Qin Jiao with a smile, "Xiao Jiao, the two babies are just adorable."
Qin Jiao smiled. "Yes, they are. They’re lucky to be alive. Otherwise, Shen Feng nearly would have killed them."
The smile on Shen Xiaoya’s face froze. Then, with righteous indignation, she said, "That Shen Feng is a real piece of work, daring to kidnap you like that. Thank goodness the children are all right. But wicked people get what they deserve, and he’s been locked up."
