Chapter 398: Chapter 398 Unwilling to Forgive
The old master’s private bodyguards, a total of six, take turns in pairs.
At this moment, one of them stepped forward to note down what the old master wanted to say.
"Sheng Zhang, Sheng Qiao, and Sheng Rong, all of your monthly allowances are deducted. This is a warning; if there’s a next time, you’ll be kicked out of the villa," the old master said.
Sheng Rong burst into tears.
She felt the most aggrieved.
Clearly, she was just an accomplice. Why should she receive the same punishment as her sister and brother?
Sheng Zhang blacked out briefly, almost fainting.
The pocket money he barely saved last time was completely gone this time.
That was one hundred thousand a month.
He, Mr. Sheng, was a person of status. Without this money, how could he show off?
He didn’t own any shares in the company; only his father did. He was still just a student.
This was going to ruin him!
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I was wrong!" Sheng Zong knelt down to the old master again, weeping bitterly.
Sheng Qiao was dumbfounded.
The old master stood up and looked at the children in front of him.
He looked at Sheng Zhang: "When you’re punished, you act so cowardly. When you’re proud, you show off. If I end up on my deathbed, the first person to act against me would definitely be you."
Sheng Zhang felt a chill all over.
Grandpa saying such serious words meant he was questioning his character.
Grandpa was saying he was morally corrupt.
Was he really that bad?
Sheng Zhang could barely stay on his knees. Without Grandpa, what did he have left?
How much could his father leave him?
Ignoring Sheng Zhang, the old master then addressed Sheng Rong: "You’re young and easily led astray. When trouble arises, you betray your companions and shirk responsibility. No loyalty to speak of."
Sheng Rong only thought about her allowance and didn’t care much about Grandpa’s criticism, still crying incessantly.
She was the daughter of the second wife and the second master.
The second master always favored boys over girls and kept a mistress outside, with a pair of thirteen-year-old twin sons, his heart set on them.
He didn’t like Sheng Rong much, and seeing her cry like this, felt no sympathy.
The story of the second master’s illegitimate children was known to everyone in the Sheng Family.
The old master, however, was very rigid and wouldn’t let those illegitimate children step through the door, even though they were boys.
He believed an illegitimate child was just that, with no gender advantage. If you were someone’s mistress, then remain hidden forever; the mistress’s children should have no future.
Calling him grandpa was something he wasn’t willing to hear.
He had his grandsons Sheng Zhang and Sheng Zong, not valuing the bastards.
The old master finally turned to Sheng Qiao, giving little comment, just saying: "Stupid!"
Too clever for your own good, with ulterior motives, trying to harm others only to be outsmarted yourself, utterly unaware, simply stupid to the core.
Sheng Qiao suddenly shivered.
Like her brother, she knelt on the floor.
Instead of crying to the old master, she wept to Sheng Tang’s parents: "Uncle, Aunt, please forgive me. Say something on our behalf."
Professor Sheng looked distressed.
Fang Mengying immediately blocked her husband, unmoved by Sheng Qiao’s pretension.
In a cold tone, she said, "How can I forgive you? I’m not God; go ask God for forgiveness!"
With that, she took her husband’s hand and called their two children, heading to the dining room.
If she acted like a saint, she’d be failing Sheng Tang and Sheng Zhong.
Those people were trying to harm the siblings.
To arrive at this current situation hadn’t been easy. Fang Mengying felt they all deserved it.
The first wife wanted to say something more but was stopped by the old master.
"Someone, prepare the cars," the old master said, "Prepare two cars."
He wanted to go to the villa in the suburbs for some peace and quiet.
Lately, he had been staying there, feeling much better, both in mind and body.
He called Sheng Sidong’s whole family, "You come with me."
