The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 981: MUChapter EASIER THAN I THOUGHT

AFTER his uncle followed his grandfather to the study, Shen Ji Yun was left with his grandmother. At first they were surrounded by other madams of the family, but after a while, they all left.

Probably because theyʼre not uncomfortable with him around. Or, itʼs probably more accurate to say that theyʼre not comfortable mocking him with his grandmother by his side. So, in the end, he and his grandmother were left alone. Which he very much preferred, to be honest.

”What have you been up to lately, Xiao Yun?” his grandmother asked with a smile.

”Thereʼs really nothing much,” Shen Ji Yun said. ”Ah, Iʼm preparing something with my friends,” he added as an afterthought, referring to the training heʼs doing with the rest of team Yunyue.

Hearing her grandson talked about his friends, Wu Meixiu felt relieved. With everything that had happened to this child, she was always worried that Xiao Yun would never try to open his heart to other people.

She had only heard that he seemed to be friends with the eldest young master of the Bai family, as well as the young lady from the Su family. But even so, she still worried about this grandson of hers. Probably because he had never heard the other mentioned his friends whenever she asked him about them. So, she thought that this friendship might just be on the surface and her grandson didnʼt really consider them as friends.

But seeing the expression on Xiao Yunʼs face when he mentioned his friends just now, itʼs clearly not the case. It seemed that the reason the other did not mention his friends in front of her must be because heʼs still not comfortable around her. That he was keeping her at a safe distance, neither close nor far. Just enough not to be treated as a stranger.

This thought somehow made Wu Meixiu sad. Although Xiao Yun was closer to her in comparison to his other paternal relatives, excluding Ah Mu, it really didnʼt mean much considering how the other members of the Shen family treated him.

Well, it was her fault. She should have tried harder to make Xiao Yun feel more welcome in the family. But sadly, no matter what she said, she couldnʼt change the stubborn attitude of her husband. He was too set on his old ways, too resistant to change.

As she was thinking that, she seemed to hear her husband roar.

”Shen Yi Mu, you bastard, come back here!”

Wu Meixiu thought that it was just her auditory hallucination. But when she noticed that almost everyone in the living room stopped what theyʼre doing and looked in the direction of the study, she knew that they heard the same thing as her.

She also turned her head in the studyʼs direction, just in time to see her youngest son striding out of the room.

Shen Ji Yun stood up after seeing his uncle, feeling that something must have happened. Once the other passed by to where he and his grandmother were, his uncle gave his grandmother an apologetic glance before telling Shen Ji Yun that they should go.

He didnʼt ask much and just followed his uncle.

When they were about to get inside his uncleʼs parked car, a voice stopped them from behind.

”Shen Yi Mu, stop this instant!”

Shen Ji Yun glanced back and saw his elder uncle. The other was looking at his uncle with blazing eyes, obviously very angry.

”Are you really going to be like this?” his elder uncle asked with narrowed eyes.

His uncle only scoffed at the question. ”What, do you really expect me to just stand there, say ʼyesʼ, and obediently meet that woman?”

Shen Ji Yun became even more confused when he heard that. But he decided that it was not his place to interfere in this conversation and just quietly got inside the car to at least give the two brothers some form of privacy.

Shen Yi Wu gritted his teeth. ”You could have said ʼnoʼ without telling Dad about your... orientation, as you put it.”

”Hah! Do you honestly think that would be enough? If you didnʼt want me to reveal my ʼdirtyʼ secret to our father, then you should have stopped him in the first place. For all I know, you instigated him to do this.”

Shen Yi Mu saw his brotherʼs expression darkened after he said that. But he really didnʼt care.

”Is that how you think of me?” the other asked in a cold tone.

”It doesnʼt matter what I think. What happened has already happened anyway,” he said with a shrug, as if he couldnʼt care less. ”If you have nothing more to say, Iʼm leaving.”

When he was about to turn around, his brother suddenly shouted.

”Dad is only thinking of whatʼs good for you!”

That made Shen Yi Mu stop and the anger that he managed to calm down erupted once again. He sharply turned his head towards his brother.

”Whatʼs good for me? Are you seriously hearing yourself right now? Iʼm not a teenager. Heck, Iʼm not even in my 20s. I will be turning 40 in a few years and you really think I donʼt know whatʼs good for me?”

He took a deep breath to calm himself when he saw his brother not responding.

”Letʼs just stop here.” He turned around and opened the door to the driverʼs seat. But before getting inside, he glanced once more at his brother and said, ”And oh, my threat earlier in the study is still very much valid.”

After saying that, he finally got inside the car and started the ignition. And the car left the Shen family villaʼs driveway.

There was silence inside the car. After a few minutes of that, Shen Ji Yun finally couldnʼt hold back his curiosity and asked;

”Uncle, what happened?”

Because something obviously did happen. If not, his uncle wouldnʼt walk out of the house like that and even argue with the elder uncle. Since he went inside the car in a timely manner, he didnʼt really hear their conversation.

”Oh that. Well, I came out of the closet,” his uncle said nonchalantly. ”Itʼs surprisingly much easier than I thought.”
