The Shen family had always been petty. Shen Yu had realized this when he transmigrated to this world. At that time, the original Shen Yu had just been in a car accident. He was passive in rehabilitation and locked himself in his bedroom day and night.
Because of this, the relatives of the Shen family often made sarcastic remarks behind his back.
Although the outside world knew that Shen Yu was the only legitimate heir of the Shen family, for a large family with many branches and leaves, this couldn't solve the problem of being surrounded by a group of vampires eyeing them covetously.
For so many years, those people had sucked a lot of blood from the original Shen family.
The original Shen Yu and his parents worked hard in the front line, while they hid in the back and enjoyed themselves. Even if they did nothing every day, they could still get a piece of the Shen family's cake.
Shen Yu thought for a long time and had the idea of separating from the family.
One afternoon, he told Old Master Shen about this idea.
Shen Yu thought that it would take some time to persuade Old Master Shen to accept his decision. Who knew that Old Master Shen would agree without hesitation after hearing his words.
"I'm old and can't do anything. You can do whatever you want." Old Master Shen said, "It's because of the incident where Chestnut beat up Shen Rong that I had no choice but to intervene. In fact, the person in charge of the Shen family is still you."
Shen Yu nodded in a low voice.
Old Master Shen said again, "Xiao Yu, are you still angry with me because of that incident?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "I'm angry with myself. I'm not capable enough to protect the people I want to protect."
"Now Chestnut doesn't need your protection. With the Tang family's protection, nothing will happen to him." Speaking of this, Old Master Shen hesitated for a moment and changed the topic to something he often talked about recently. "You temporarily gave up the idea of getting married and having children because of Chestnut. Now that Chestnut has his own life, it's time for you to reconsider."
Shen Yu frowned. "I don't have any feelings for Yang Zhenni."
"It's not necessarily Yang Zhenni …"
"The same goes for the others."
Grandpa Shen did not say anything. It was obvious that he was choked by Shen Yu's stubborn words. After a while, he suddenly raised his voice and said forcefully, "You asked me to wait until Chestnut is an adult, and I agreed. You asked me to separate from the family, and I agreed. You asked me not to introduce girls to you, and I also agreed. I have compromised so much, so why can't you think for me?"
Without waiting for Shen Yu to speak, Grandpa Shen continued to speak furiously, "Your father passed away early. You're the only grandson I have left. Is it so difficult for me to hug my great-grandson before I die?"
Shen Yu gradually tightened his grip on his phone and remained silent.
Then, he said weakly, "Chestnut is not yet an adult. He is not yet seventeen."
Old Master Shen was speechless.
If Old Master Shen was not in good health, he would have vomited blood from anger.
"I don't care. You have to get married before I die." Old Master Shen gave him an ultimatum. "As for the Shen family, you can separate from them. I'm too lazy to support those useless people. They can't make money, but they are good at annoying people."
After that, Old Master Shen hung up the phone.
Shen Yu shook his head helplessly. He did not take Old Master Shen's exasperated words to heart. He called Kang Lin and a few of his company's confidants to discuss the separation of the Shen family.
For the Shen family, it was not easy to separate from the family.
After all, the entire Shen family had developed together for more than a hundred years. The network of relationships was intertwined, and it was extremely complicated. If Shen Yu directly cut off the Shen family, it would affect the interests of most people. He was afraid that those people would not let it go, just like when they lived in the Tang Li …
Shen Yu thought about it and felt distressed.
He had no choice but to call a few people who were close to him and expressed his intention to separate from the Shen family. He also promised that he would give them a big share of the profits.
Those people readily agreed and then got busy.
While Shen Yu was busy with the separation and the opening of the branch, Old Master Shen was also very busy.
However, Old Master Shen was busy choosing a partner for Shen Yu.
Every once in a while, Old Master Shen would call Shen Yu's mobile phone and try to coax Shen Yu to go to dinner.
If Shen Yu did not agree, Old Master Shen would use a trick that he had recently learned from somewhere — crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang himself. He was so noisy that Shen Yu had no choice but to agree to his request.

After the beginning of winter, the time of night came very early.
It was only eight o 'clock in the evening. The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window was covered by the dark curtain of night. There was no starlight in the night sky. Only a lonely crescent moon hung in the sky, which was blocked by floating clouds from time to time.
This restaurant was located in a prime location in the downtown area. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, one could clearly see the bright lights of the street outside, as well as the people coming and going on the pedestrian street.
The restaurant was very quiet. Other than the light music flowing in the air, there was almost no sound of people talking. Only the occasional sound of knives and forks clashing could be heard.
Shen Yu sat at the dining table. He had nothing to do, so he stared at the night scene outside the glass in a daze.
The girl opposite him was charming and well-dressed. Her words and actions were full of the liveliness of a student. She seemed to be very interested in Shen Yu. Her eyes kept wandering around Shen Yu's face.
"Why aren't you talking?" The girl put down her knife and fork.
She raised her chin and complained.
Hearing the voice, Shen Yu turned his head. He pursed his lips and asked, "Are you full?"
"No." The girl shook her head honestly. When she reacted, she was suddenly stunned. Then she said angrily, "How can you be like this? You don't talk. When you talk, you ask me if I'm full. Do you not like to get along with me that much? "
In the end, the girl felt wronged. She sobbed and wiped her tears.
For a moment, the customers at the next table who heard the voice looked over curiously.
Seeing this, Shen Yu's cold expression instantly cracked. He hurriedly pulled out two pieces of tissue and handed it to the girl. He said helplessly, "We're not suitable for each other. If we continue to get along with each other, it will only be a waste of each other's time."
The girl took the tissue and casually wiped her face twice. Then she stared at Shen Yu.
After the girl threw away the tissue, Shen Yu saw clearly that the girl's eyes were clean. There was no trace of tears. It turned out that she was just acting.
"We've only been together for less than an hour. How do you know that we're not suitable for each other?" The girl pouted and said with grievance.
He didn't know if it was Shen Yu's illusion, but he actually felt that the girl's appearance was very similar to that of Tang Li when he was a child. In the past, Tang Li would also beg Shen Yu for forgiveness when he made a mistake.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu's eyes unconsciously became gentle.
"Our ages are not suitable." Perhaps because he thought of Tang Li, Shen Yu's mood was no longer as gloomy as before. He explained in a rare gentle voice, "If I knew that you were still a high school student, I definitely wouldn't have come."
The girl was angry that she was being looked down upon. She frowned and said, "So what if I'm a high school student? I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year. Moreover, I'm already 18 years old. I'm an adult through and through. "
Shen Yu smiled helplessly, "I'm 30 years old."
The girl raised her chin, "I don't care. It's good to be a 30-year-old mature man. He knows how to take care of people."
"Unfortunately, a 30-year-old man like me doesn't know how to take care of people." After saying this, Shen Yu stood up and picked up the coat that was draped over the back of the chair. He gestured to the waiter not far away and said to the girl, "Let's call it a day for tonight. I'll take you home."
Although the girl was very reluctant, she finally compromised when faced with Shen Yu's strong attitude.
Shen Yu led the girl out of the restaurant. Seeing that the girl's butt was so perky that it could be hung on a pot, and she even slammed the car door to express her dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't know what the old man's friends were thinking. They actually sent their 18-year-old granddaughter to go on a blind date with him. They even lied and said that the girl was in her early twenties and was about to graduate from college.
Sigh …
Annoying.
Shen Yu sat in the front passenger seat. After fastening his seat belt, he frowned and asked the girl, "Where is your home?"
The girl snorted and whispered an address.
Shen Yu nodded and turned to the driver, "Let's go. We'll take her home."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the tea shop that the girl mentioned.
The girl said goodbye to Shen Yu and happily got out of the car. Then, under Shen Yu's gaze, she turned around and walked into a club next to the tea shop.
Shen Yu, who was watching all of this, was speechless.
What the hell!
Shen Yu cursed under her breath and quickly asked the driver to stop the car.
He opened the door and got out of the car in a hurry. He tried to catch up with the girl, but he was stopped by the club's staff outside the door.
"I'm sorry, sir. Do you have an appointment or are you looking for a friend inside?" The staff asked politely.
"I'm looking for the girl who just went in." Shen Yu replied, "She's my friend."
Unexpectedly, the staff said, "Why don't you call her and ask her to come out? When she confirms your identity, we can let you in."
Shen Yu was surprised for a long time. Then, he pointed to the club and said, "How did she get in? I didn't see you check her identity. "
The staff said politely, "That lady is a member of our club. She often comes here, so we don't need to check her identity."
Shen Yu was speechless.
Just as Shen Yu took out his phone and was about to call the girl, he suddenly heard the girl say, "Xiao Yang, he's my boyfriend. Let him in."
Shen Yu looked over and saw the girl standing on the stairs leading to the club. She was holding a small bag in her hand. Her beautiful face was illuminated by the surrounding lights.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Shen Yu. She hooked her finger at him and said, "Come on, boyfriend. Why are you still standing there?"
Shen Yu put away his phone and stood there without moving. He said to the girl, "Come out quickly. I'll take you home."
The girl said coquettishly, "Oh, it's still so early. I don't want to go home."
