Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 496 - The Truth in That Year
After a long time of silence, Old Madame sighed and said, “Child, I am old and can no longer stand any toss. I just want the family to be together in peace. Of course, as for the President of the company, I have also observed it, and my conclusion is that you are a better choice than your oldest brother indeed.”
She had already scolded Shen Yan enough, and now she did not want to add more contradictions to their intense relationship by continuing to scold him. The selection of the President had been settled down, and in the future, they would work together, so she thought that it was better not to make their relationship at a deadlock.
Shen Yan also sighed and said earnestly, “Grandma, I know that there are more scams than sincere feelings in a family like ours. I’m fine with all your resentment against me. But Grandma, you really believe that my eldest brother killed someone? Is there no other possibility?”
Shen Mo acknowledged it personally and kneeled down to Ningjing’s father to admit his mistake. Could all these be fake? Old Madame said with a bitter smile, “I prefer that there can be other possibilities, but… Just forget it. I don’t want to talk about the bygone anymore.”
“Grandma, even if we don’t talk about it now, there will still be someone else to talk about it. For example, Zhou Yan has not been married all these years, and I believe you understand the reason. There is one more thing that I want to remind you of. Why do the people of the Zeng Family, who saw my eldest brother kill her with their own eyes on the spot at that time, now say nothing about it?” Shen Yan, seeing Old Madame looking as if being resigned to the misfortune, changed his way of asking questions.
“Zeng Family got what they wanted. Wasn’t your eldest brother engaged to Zeng Mina?” When he mentioned it, Old Madame got a little angry. How could Zeng Mina match her grandson with her moral quality?
However, it was for this matter that Zeng Ziqiang had something on Shen Mo so that he could force Shen Family to give in as he wished. He almost entered the Shen Group. It was Shen Yan’s strong opposition that had spoiled his plan.

Old Madame appreciated Shen Yan a lot singly on this issue.
It was unknown whether he was doomed to destruction since he had done too many bad things. In the end, he was framed and killed by Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci.
“Grandma, you are sensible. In fact, you have already known many things. For example, my eldest brother threatened Zhou Jiamin with the death of Zeng Ziqiang, so they finally reached a compromise. But as for Madame Zeng, why was she coerced by my eldest brother to collaborate with him to hurt me? Don’t forget that she knows about my eldest brother’s murder as well. Now she can use this to threaten him as well.” Shen Yan reminded Old Madame.
This matter was really a problem. Old Madame was silent for a long time. “Maybe, she doesn’t know it.”
Shen Yan shook his head. “It’s impossible. Although Madame Zeng was upset about Zeng Ziqiang’s cheating on her and had been hiding abroad all the time, Zeng Ziqiang did not reduce the spending on food and clothing for her at all. I will not mention these trifles anymore. I will mention a couple of key things. When Zeng Ziqiang felt that he was in danger, he deliberately told Zeng Mina that if something really happened to him, she should tell her mother immediately. He even informed Zeng Minna that her mother was the most reliable one. Simply based on this, do you still think that she is unaware of it?”
Shen Yan’s words really made sense. Old Madame’s eyes flickered a few times. “What do you know?”
“After Ningjing was killed, I investigated it and found a lot of authoritative experts. They all felt that Ningjing’s asthma was not particularly serious, and it was unlikely that she suddenly had a fit and fainted. Zhou Yan also knows about this, so he has always suspected that my eldest brother killed Ningjing. Ningjing loved him, so she was killed accidentally by my eldest brother who was irritated by the fact that Ningjing wanted to get rid of him and go with Zhou Yan.”
“But I don’t think so. Because I know that it was my eldest brother who was loved by Ningjing from beginning to end, and she left him simply because she could not accept what my eldest brother did in some matters. My eldest brother loved Ningjing so much. He wouldn’t do it even by chance, so I believed that Ningjing was really attacked by her disease at that time. But then Xia Yu told me her suspicions, and there were so many coincidences at the time. For example, Aunt Jiang wasn’t just there, and Zeng Ziqiang, as well as Li Tianci, appeared just when my eldest brother was rescuing Ningjing. It was even more outrageous that Aunt Jiang went mad later.”
“All these signs show that Ningjing’s death is not an accident. When Zhou Yan just went to Nihon to find an expert to treat Aunt Jiang, he almost had a car accident there, and Xia Yu, who went to find Aunt Jiang’s son, was also threatened.”
“Shen Yan, don’t smite with the tongue. I didn’t ask anyone to hurt Xia Yu.” Shen Mo kicked the door open and strode in.
“Little Mo, let your brother finish his words.” Compared to Shen Mo’s excitement, Old Madame calmed down. This boy had been cynical since he was a child, but his affection for his eldest brother was true.
Thinking of the words uttered by Shen Yan just now that there were more scams than sincere feelings in a family like ours, Old Madame felt very sad in her mind. Now she decided to believe in Shen Yan once just like an ordinary grandma.
“Grandma!” Wasn’t this bastard just trying to humiliate him and get the position of the President? Now that he had succeeded, was it necessary to say it?
“Let him say!” Old Madame raised her voice.
Shen Yan took out two gold beads and handed them to Shen Mo. “These were taken back this time by me along with Xiao Qiang and Xia Yu when we went to look for Aunt Jiang’s son. Can you figure out if these things belong to Aunt Jiang? If not, who do these things belong to?”
“These things can’t belong to Ningjing and me.” Shen Mo tilted his head to one side, ignoring Shen Yan.
Shen Yan then reached out his hand to Old Madame. Old Madame reached out and entwisted a bead. She had a careful look at the bead in front of her and then said, “This is pure gold. Aunt Jiang’s family is very poor. She can’t have this kind of thing.”
“Grandma, look at the word on it.” Shen Yan said again.
Only then did Old Madame find that there was indeed a word on it, and she took a closer look at it. There was the word “ci” on it.
“This must be a rosary, and Li Tianci believes in Buddhism , with a rosary in his hands all day. I want to ask my eldest brother whether there was a rosary around his wrist when Li Tianci arrived that day.” Shen Yan once again turned his eyes to Shen Mo.
“It’s been so many years. How could your brother remember this?” Old Madame said aside.
Shen Mo raised his hand and motioned to Old Madame to stop talking. Shen Mo had nothing to be proud of, but his great memory. Especially this was the day of his beloved one’s death, so he must have a stronger memory.
“I’m sure that Li Tianci didn’t wear a rosary around his wrist.” Shen Mo said with certainty. He reached out his hand and picked up the other bead in Shen Yan’s hand to have a look. He also found there was a word on it. “Could it be possible…”
“Brother, you finally have doubts as well. I’ll leave this thing to you. It’s incumbent on you to revenge for Ningjing and get Uncle Ning back.” Shen Yan put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at Shen Mo and saying.
Li Tianci! Shen Mo’s handsome face looked horrible. The man who killed his beloved one and had threatened him for so many years would definitely not get away from his retaliation. He must punish him badly.
“Little Yan, thanks to your consistent belief in your eldest brother’s character.” Finding that this turned out to be the case, Old Madame took a step forward. She held Shen Yan’s hands and said guiltily, “Child, I even doubted your intention before. You are wronged badly.”
Was Old Madame apologizing to him? She was so easy to be touched by him. Shen Mo looked up at Shen Yan with cold and scary eyes, thinking that he was worthy of the title, the little fox. “What a good scheme! He has got the position of the President and even makes others feel deeply grateful to him.”
How could this child speak like this? Old Madame frowned involuntarily.
“Brother, do you think I’m doing this for the position of the President?” Shen Yan also stared at Shen Mo. He wanted to see the man in front of him clearly, who was completely different from his original impression of his eldest brother.
“Isn’t that true?” Shen Mo showed a sneer on his lips.
“I am doing this because you are my eldest brother, and I believe that you did not kill anyone. You would not do it even by mistake. That’s why I’m looking for evidence to prove it. Now you have no worries, and there are still a few months. If you really lose to me, I will not give you the position of the President just because you are my eldest brother.” After finishing his words, Shen Yan left without looking back.
Wasn’t Old Madame talking with him about the equity transfer here? Looking back at Old Madame, Shen Mo saw that she just picked up the folder and shook it in front of him. “I asked Xia Yu to come here yesterday, and she rejected it for Little Yan. But I still didn’t believe his sincerity. Today I wanted to test him again, but he still didn’t accept it.”
“He still didn’t accept it? How could this be possible?” Shen Mo was also stunned at the time. He did so much not for the position of the President? Or he still had other plots?
Seeing Shen Mo like this, Old Madame was completely disappointed at him for the first time. She thought about what they had done over the years. Without any prejudice, she thought that Shen Mo was really too narrow-minded.
“Do you mean that I lied, or that he has other purposes? Little Mo, as you both have grown up, I didn’t want to say more. Especially as for you, I have always believed in you most and thought that you are the best, but you really taught me a lesson again today.” Old Madame walked out while holding the file pocket after saying this.
At the door, Secretary Yang supported Old Madame. “Are we going back to the old house now?”
“No, to the cemetery.” Old Madame said, walking towards her car with the help of Secretary Yang.
She actually said the word “again”, which was quite serious. It was remembered that it was when Shen Mo threatened Old Madame with Yang Family that she said that she was disappointed at Shen Mo for the first time.
Old Madame stayed alone in the room for a long time at that time, and she finally let Shen Mo go in. That time, Old Madame compromised, but she said this to Shen Mo.
However, Shen Mo didn’t take it seriously that time. What he wanted was just success, and at the time, he thought he was indeed the strongest one in the Shen Family. Old Madame changed her mind every day, procrastinating the reelection of the President constantly. It was simply because she was still reluctant to give up her power and refused to abdicate.
It turned out that Old Madame indeed thought so. Later, she agreed to reelect the President, but she got Shen Yan to compete with him. She also set a deadline of one year.
But this time, things were different, and he should really be scolded. Shen Yan really helped him a lot this time. No matter what his purpose was, Shen Mo should be grateful. Even if he had other thoughts, he could not speak out in front of Old Madame.
“Old Madame, Young Master Yan really didn’t accept the shares?” Secretary Yang asked when seeing that the file pocket was still in the hands of Old Madame.
“No, he did not. Xia Yu didn’t accept yesterday, either. I even said that they were having affected manners. Today the child really taught me a lesson. That is also good. At least, our Shen Family has a worthy successor, so I can feel no shame when meeting his grandpa after dying.” Old Madame stroked the file pocket with both her hands and said with emotion.
“Young Master Yan really has the way of great generals!” Secretary Yang was also happy for Old Madame.
