VHBF -Chapter 166 The School Tyrant Daddy (Part 28)

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Shen Huainan was chatting with a few old friends. Just as he was about to call his assistant to bring his granddaughter over so his old friends could meet her, he heard his son roar at the top of his lungs.

“What happened? Go take a look, Old Shen.”

Liu Dong’s old face flushed red. All the big shots present turned to look over, and he immediately felt mortified. “I—I mean, Young Master Shen, that really is my daughter!”

Earlier, he hadn’t seen clearly what Shen Huainan’s granddaughter looked like when she was carried out, and it hadn’t crossed his mind for a moment. He had even thought that Shen Lian, being young and arrogant, was deliberately picking a fight with him.

Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, felt a little relieved. She reached out to tug at her husband’s sleeve and lowered her voice to persuade him, “Let’s go back first. We’ll come visit privately later and ask things clearly. This kind of occasion right now…”

Liu Dong naturally knew that everyone present was watching. He couldn’t afford to lose face, so he planned to leave first.

But before he could even take a step, his second daughter—also three years old—suddenly rushed forward and shoved Yinyin hard to the ground. She shouted angrily, “Go away! You little bitch, don’t you dare come back to our home!”

“Daddy is my brother’s and my daddy, not yours! You little bitch, don’t you steal our daddy!”

The shrill, piercing childish voice rang out, making many people frown instinctively.

Because they were close and she was just a child, no one had guarded against it. The suddenly charging Liu family girl succeeded. The young man was instantly furious—his flamboyant blue hair seemed to bristle strand by strand, sharp and aggressive. His lazy, disdainful air vanished, and his eyes turned razor-sharp as they shot straight at the culprit.

Without the slightest courtesy, he shoved the girl away. His strength was greater, and she was pushed backward, falling hard to the ground and rolling over once.

“Who are you calling a ‘little bitch’?”

Knocked to the ground, the girl burst into loud wails, crying and hiccupping as she pointed at Yinyin. “Her! I’m calling her a little bitch!”

The young man scooped Yinyin into his arms, kissed her painfully, and coaxed her gently. Yinyin’s expression—wanting to cry but not daring to, holding back two pools of tears—made his heart shatter.

He kissed her forehead again and again. “Be good, don’t cry. Daddy will avenge you.”

Yinyin pursed her lips. That beautifully dressed child had suddenly rushed out to push her and curse at her. She was so aggrieved that her tears were about to fall, but she tried hard to hold them back and not cry. With so many people here, she couldn’t embarrass Grandpa and Daddy.

Yinyin had wanted to push back too. When other children bullied her before, she would bully them back, because if she didn’t, they would only become more arrogant and bully her even more. This was life experience Yinyin had figured out herself and seriously followed. But before she could retaliate, her daddy had already stepped out to help her.

Burying her face in her daddy’s arms, Yinyin sniffed softly. Now she had a daddy to protect her. Daddy would help her bully back. The tiny little Yinyin revealed a shy, happy smile in the young man’s arms.

The young man held Yinyin with one arm, gently patting her back with the other. With a mocking smile, he looked straight at the girl on the ground. He had no concept of “bullying the small with the big,” nor any notion of “protecting the young.” He sneered, “So the little bitch knows how to curse people, huh?”

The three- or four-year-old girl couldn’t out-argue him and was scolded into tears. Furious, she cried loudly in her mother’s arms, constantly shouting that Daddy wasn’t allowed to bring the little bitch home—that was her and Daddy’s home, not the little bitch’s.

The more Yinyin listened, the quieter she became. She didn’t really understand what was being said, but being treated with such malice made her feel a little dejected and sad.

Shen Lian rolled up his sleeves, about to slap that foul-mouthed brat twice to teach her how to behave. Suddenly, Yinyin in his arms lifted her head and shouted loudly in her little milky voice, “I have a home! Grandpa said this is my home, the home of Grandpa and Daddy and me! This place doesn’t welcome you—go away! Yinyin doesn’t like you!”

Shen Lian froze slightly, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile. He lowered his head and kissed his little one, using his fingertip to wipe away the tears on her face.

He was even more arrogant and flamboyant than his kid. “Our baby is right. This place doesn’t welcome you. Get the hell out! From now on, on Shen family territory, not a single one of you with the surname Liu is allowed to set foot here!”

As he spoke, the Yinyin in his arms was taken by a pair of large hands and held close. Shen Huainan’s small tea seating area was a bit far away. Having just arrived and heard his son and granddaughter’s words, he nodded. “Liu Dong?”

Liu Dong immediately bent and nodded, his face full of awkwardness and a hint of excitement, wanting to explain something. Shen Huainan raised a hand to stop him. “Now isn’t convenient. If there’s anything, we’ll talk after the banquet ends.”

The Liu family of four was politely escorted out—essentially kicked out of the event. Before leaving, Liu Dong kept turning back to look at the daughter held in President Shen’s arms. That was clearly his daughter—how could it—how could it be…

In the car, Mrs. Liu suddenly had a thought. Her voice trembled as she said, “Could it be—could it be that the granddaughter President Shen mentioned is little—our Yinyin?”

There seemed to be no other explanation.

The couple fell silent, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Shen Huainan was meticulous in his actions—watertight and unflustered. He waited until the banquet ended before instructing his assistant to investigate.

A seasoned old fox like him could naturally spot the anomaly at a glance. His son, young and hot-blooded, couldn’t see it, but Shen Huainan knew immediately that the troublemaking Liu family was very likely related to his granddaughter’s background. That was why he suppressed the matter and waited until after the banquet to bring it up.

The assistant glanced at the sir in surprise, not understanding why he was being sent to investigate the Liu family. It wasn’t until an hour later, when the files were placed on the desk, that he suddenly realized the truth. Wiping sweat from his brow, he handed the materials to his employer.

Thinking of the cute, obedient little miss, the assistant felt both angry and heartbroken. He had never imagined that the young lady’s background would be like this.

“That Mrs. Liu is truly despicable! She angered the legal wife to death, seized her property and man, and even got rid of her daughter. That’s just too vicious!”

“And Liu Dong is blind! Whatever Mrs. Liu said, he believed. His daughter had been missing for months, yet he didn’t even report it to the police or file a case, and didn’t let a word leak outside. No wonder we couldn’t find anything.”

The files showed that Liu Dong’s original wife had been in poor health. After giving birth, her constitution was weak and she couldn’t even catch a breeze, so she stayed at home with the child. As a result, the child hadn’t been seen in public even at two or three years old.

Half a year ago, the original wife died from a heart attack. One month later, Liu Dong married the current Mrs. Liu—and even brought in a pair of children. The older son was already seven or eight years old, several years older than the original wife’s daughter. The younger daughter was also three, less than two months younger than the original wife’s daughter. It was obvious that this affair had started from the very beginning.

Liu Dong kept a second family outside while maintaining one at home. Once the one at home died, he immediately brought the outside one in. The assistant spat quietly—what a scumbag!

“Sir, time was too short. Our people only found that three months ago, a Liu family nanny stole the child and took her out, then never returned. On the surface it looks like an ordinary abduction, but I don’t think it’s that simple. It was probably Mrs. Liu who ordered it—she’s too vicious.”

“You heard it earlier too. Her daughter is only three, much worse than our little miss, yet she kept calling her ‘little bitch’ and saying that was their home and wouldn’t let the little miss go back. It’s clear Mrs. Liu has said plenty of these things in front of the child. Otherwise, how would a three-year-old say such things?”

Shen Huainan lowered his eyes in thought. Having experienced much, he remained steady. The young man listening nearby was about to explode with rage, pacing back and forth in the study. Thinking of his little one who had cried pitifully and was now asleep, curled up in her small blanket, his anger only intensified.

“No need to say more—it had to be her. If it wasn’t her, who else could it be? I found Yinyin by a trash bin back then. She was wearing a tattered little dress, skinny and malnourished, and had crawled out of the garbage herself. It must have been that Mrs. Liu who ordered the nanny to steal the child and deliberately chose a small place like Lin City. With such a huge distance between heaven and earth, how could a three-year-old child survive after being dumped in a place like that?”

The more Shen Lian thought about it, the angrier—and more frightened—he became. He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if the kid hadn’t been strong enough to crawl out of the trash pile herself, and hadn’t known to run to him and cling to his leg. Would she have starved or frozen to death there?

The young man clenched his teeth and slammed a fist onto the desk, his eyes blazing red. “I’m going to beat that bastard couple to death! The woman’s poisonous, and the man doesn’t deserve to be a father!”
