Chapter 614 A bet or a bait
Grandma Shen of course understood the challenges that Su Wan had to go through because of what Su Bai did and this was the reason why she couldn’t be angry at the Lin brothers even if she was upset upon finding out that her precious little girl was married and was going to be a mother in a few months but was she going to them a hard time because of that? No, not necessarily.As she turned to look at the four Lin brothers, they all simultaneously gulped and Lin Chen who wasn’t allowed to hide under the motto ‘ Good brothers go through everything together’, tried to run again but Lin Jing and Lin Yan stopped him from leaving. He turned to look at his brothers who raised their heads and smiled at their brother with a ‘ you are not chickening out,’ expression—— Lin Chen pursed his lips as he turned around to face Grandma Shen and sighed, just what was the meaning of this? Where was this brotherhood when he was being treated like a punching bag by the Shen uncles? Now that all of them were going to be beaten, he has to join too?
What was this bam bam bam bitty?
Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen turned to look at the four brothers all prepared to see them being beaten just like them but then to their surprise, they saw their mother bow in front of the four brats and then their mouths dropped consecutively—— what? What? Why was their mother bowing to these brats?
”Grandma Shen, you why are you doing this?” Lin Yan who was prepared to be beaten the most was surprised when he saw that instead of hitting him, Grandma Shen actually bowed in front of him, why would she do this?
”That’s right, grandma you don’t have to do this…” Lin Chen, who jumped three steps behind when Grandma Shen moved, felt like he stumbled into some alternative reality, since when did the Shen family start to treat them so well? Shouldn’t they be getting beaten up? He even psychologically prepared himself for a beating but now instead of receiving a smacking, he was getting a ninety-degree bow? Was this some kind of new beating technique like letting them drop their guards and then beating them all of a sudden? Is that what this was?
Lin Jing and Lin Yu also had their eyes opened wide as they rushed to help Grandma Shen.
” Please don’t do this,”
” There is no need for this.”
Upon the urging of the Shen brothers, Grandma Shen straightened up and then looked at them with a solemn expression. ” I need to do this, after all, you have taken care of my granddaughter when we couldn’t and I would be forever grateful for that, I can see that you have treated her really well, from one glimpse it’s visible that my granddaughter is really happy and that is more than enough for me, and this is my gratitude to you all for taking care of her so well.”
Sensing something amiss, Lin Chen immediately said, ” Of course, we will treat her well, she is our wife, there is no way we can treat our wife badly can we? Our father taught us to be kind towards our wife, there is no need for us to thank us because Wan Wan is our wife as well.”
” That’s right,” Lin Yu could also hear the subtle changes in the voice of Grandma Shen and thus he hurriedly followed Lin Chen’s lead and chimed in, ” She is the mother of our child and our wife, we will naturally take care of her wouldn’t we?”
” You boys are very smart,” said Grandma Shen with a soft chuckle, she walked back and then stood next to Su Wan with a determined expression on her face. ” eighteen years ago my daughter married a man under the name of love, of course, I will not put you all down by mentioning you and him in the same sentence but —— what I do know is that love is not everything, I get that you all are doing good but I have to break it to you that even without you Wan Wan would have done better.”
” Grandma, what are you——” Su Wan began as she tried to stop Grandma Shen but the latter silenced her before she could say anything more. ” If you guys wouldn’t be treating her so well, I would have taken her away with me without any trouble but since you are I would not do that, I am not that much of an evil grandmother but… what I will do a is put a little bet on the line.”
” A bet?” repeated Lin Yan with a frown. ” What kind of a bet.”
” There is no need for a bet!” snapped Su Wan as she intervened between her husbands and Grandma Shen. Turning to look at her grandma, she spoke, ” I am fine with them, happy even, there is no need for you to make any sort of bet with them alright?”
” What’s wrong, Wan Wan?” asked Grandma Shen as she raised her brow and looked at Su Wan. ” Don’t tell me that you do not trust your husbands?”
” I——”
” Wan Wan, step aside.” Lin Jing who has been silent till now finally broke his silence and looked at Su Wan, who turned to stare at him with a stubborn expression. ” You don’t need to prove anything to anyone!” She knew that they were better than everyone else and there was no need for them to do something as stupid as taking this bet, she trusted them and that was enough for her.
” Step aside, Wan Wan,” repeated Lin Jing as he used his authority as the head of the family in the absence of his parents.
Su Wan opened her mouth but then she noticed the determined expression on the faces of her husbands and swallowed back her words. Fine, this wasn’t about her trusting them, it was about their pride that was being questioned—- now no matter what she said, they will not retreat.
