Shen Manting stood at the door and walked in with a calm expression. She then sat down to rest. That kind of scene was not strange to her at all. After all, she had even seen her father made to kneel on a washboard before, so having his ear pinched was nothing.

Qi Yingfang noticed that her daughter had returned and immediately smiled. “Ah Ting, you’re back. Come over and let me have a look. ”

Shen Guangsi chimed in, “She definitely wasn’t able to eat well and sleep well overseas. I’ll get the servants to make some nourishing soup for our daughter. ”

Hearing that, Qi Yingfang said in disdain, “Duh? I’ve already had it stewed. ”

“Then I’ll go and see what nutritional supplements I can get, ” Shen Guangsi added. After that, he went to the kitchen.

Shen Manting’s heart was filled with warmth. However, her expression quickly changed. “Wait, ” she said.

Shen Guangsi’s scalp tightened as he laughed awkwardly. “What’s wrong, Ah Ting? That expression of yours is a little scary. ” His daughter had been very opinionated since she was young, and whenever he did something wrong, he would be reprimanded until his face and ears turned red.

Shen Manting walked to his side and sniffed him gently. “Did you drink again? ” she asked.

Shen Guangsi stammered. “J-Just a little… ” The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. How could his life be so tragic? It was his wife earlier and now his daughter. Drinking and smoking had to be done in secret. If he was found out, he would definitely be punished.

When Shen Manting saw him act like that, she was so angry that she wanted to cry. “Don’t you know that your uric acid index has exceeded the limit? Doesn’t your leg hurt when you sleep at night? You still dare to drink? Why can’t you abstain from alcohol? ” She recalled the dream where her father could only lie on the bed, struggling on his last breath. When the Shen family was destroyed, he clung to the edge of the bed, trying to get up with tears streaming down his face, but he was helpless and in pain.

Every time Shen Manting thought of that scene, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. With red eyes, she questioned, “Can you not drink anymore? ”

“Ah Ting, don’t cry. It’s all my fault. I won’t touch alcohol again. ” Shen Guangsi was also anxious and wanted to give himself two tight slaps. Why couldn’t he hold it in? Ever since he was diagnosed with gout a year ago, his daughter had worked hard to find various medicine and finally managed to control his condition. He had let down his daughter’s good intentions.

Qi Yingfang saw that her precious daughter was so anxious that she was about to cry, then hugged her while glaring at Shen Guangsi. “You always let reminders go one ear in and one ear out, only wising up after our daughter scolds you. ”

Shen Manting took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “Dad, it’s not that I want to control you, but your health is more important than anything else. ” Although she didn’t understand why she had dreamed of those things, Shen Manting told herself over and over again that she would never let the dream come true.

She wouldn’t let the Shen family be destroyed, nor would she let her elder brothers die one by one. She wouldn’t let her father be paralyzed in bed and her mother have no choice but to kneel and beg that person…

“Yes, yes, yes. You are right. ” Shen Guangsi squeezed out a comical smile. “My Ah Ting is amazing.”

Shen Manting was amused by him, but she still uttered seriously, “Don’t always promise me but do it behind my back! Please don’t drink anymore. ”

“I’ll definitely remember this time, ” Shen Guangsi replied with a cheeky smile.

“Dad! ” Shen Manting smiled through her tears.

“Ah Ting, you look so good when you smile. You should smile more. ” Shen Guangsi finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The tense atmosphere from before was replaced by smiles on the family’s faces.

Qi Yingfang recalled what her second son had said today and patted Shen Manting’s hand, saying forthrightly, “Ah Ting, I already know about Chenkong’s condition. Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem. Let’s not hide it from the doctor and just ask for some nourishing medicine. ”

“What do you mean? ” Shen Manting asked subconsciously, but then she suddenly understood, and her face flushed red. “It’s nothing of that sort. it’s a misunderstanding. ”

“Ah Ting, don’t be shy. This is not a big deal. It’s very common for men to have this problem. I’ll call him and ask him to come over and drink some nourishing soup and medicinal cuisine to strengthen his body. But speaking of which, why didn’t you ask him to come back with you? ”

Qi Yingfang said it calmly, and Shen Guangsi nodded in agreement. “I’ll go and call him. Ask the chef to make a few more dishes. ”

Shen Manting felt vexed when she saw her parents in such a hurry. The misunderstanding was not going to be resolved. She rubbed her head tiredly. If Xue Chenkong knew about it, he wouldn’t want to kill her, would he? After all, it was a matter of a man’s dignity.

After receiving Shen Guangsi’s call, Xue Chenkong arrived very quickly with a huge pile of gifts. It was the first time Xue Chenkong had visited the Shen residence after he had registered his marriage. Of course, the things in his hands were all prepared by Lan Jianqiu. They were all things that could not be bought with money.
