Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Coming of Age Ceremony and a Show of Power

Shen Weiyi’s coming-of-age ceremony arrived in the blink of an eye.

After that day, when Uncle Shen and Second Uncle Shen went back, nobody knew what they told Mr. Shen, but thereafter, the Shen Family members did not visit again.

Even the old man did not call to scold anyone.

It was unknown what he was holding back.

However, what Mr. Shen thought was unimportant; trying to scheme against him and his daughter required some competence.

On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the Shen Family did send someone, but only Uncle Shen’s family came.

"Third brother, father has not been feeling well these past few days, the doctor said it’s not suitable for him to go out, and the second brother’s family stayed at home to take care of him, don’t take it to heart," Uncle Shen said with an honest face, cheerfully presenting the gift.

Off to the side, Shen Tan pulled Shen Weiyi aside to whisper, "The old man isn’t sick; I saw him sitting in the courtyard drinking tea this morning. But don’t be angry. I heard it was because the youngest uncle refused grandfather’s wish to host your coming-of-age ceremony at home, so he intentionally stirred up this drama. I think the old man is just being senile. It doesn’t matter where the ceremony is held, and by causing such a fuss, he’s just making us the laughing stock to outsiders."

Shen Weiyi and Shen Juanzhi were both aware of this.

"It’s okay, I don’t mind." Shen Weiyi smiled. After so many years, she had gotten used to it.

Seeing that she genuinely did not seem to mind, Shen Tan relaxed and took out the gift she had prepared in advance, "Here, this is a gift I carefully picked for you. Happy coming-of-age, and congratulations on getting into Z University."

"Thank you!" Shen Weiyi took the gift and said with a smile, "Let me take you inside to sit." Although most of the Shen Family did not appreciate her and her father, there were still one or two sincere people.

On such an important day as the coming-of-age ceremony, only the eldest uncle’s family from the Shen Family came; as the head of the Shen Family, Mr. Shen did not show up. They intended to tell everyone outside that the Shen Family did not acknowledge this granddaughter. With so many guests present today, it was inevitable that word would get out; Mr. Shen was trying to undermine her.

It turned out that the many days of silence were leading up to this.

Shen Juanzhi’s heart turned even colder.

This was the so-called kinship; nothing but interest and schemes.

After sending Shen Tan inside, Shen Jingqi came in holding two gifts, "My brother couldn’t make it because he was busy in the lab; these are the gifts he asked me to prepare for you."

"Thank you!"

Sheng Ting had already sent her a message in advance; today was the day results were expected from the experiment, and he needed to stay with his mentor and fellow students in the lab.

Then Shen Jingqi leaned in and whispered after handing over the gifts, "By the way, my parents are also here."

"You mean Mr. Shen and Sister Lu He are here too?" Shen Weiyi looked surprised.

She had sent an invitation to the Situ Jing family, but for the Shen Family, she had only invited Shen Jingqi.

One reason being Shen Qian and Lu He’s special status, and secondly, she had only met Lu He once before, and was worried an impromptu invitation might be inconvenient for her.

Just as she spoke, she saw Lu He, dressed low-key, walking over, "Yiyi dear, we heard today is your coming-of-age ceremony and we came uninvited; you won’t mind, will you?" Perhaps due to the public setting, she and Shen Qian did not walk in together but one after the other.

"Of course not! But Sister Hehe, are you sure it’s okay for you to appear like this?" Shen Weiyi instinctively looked behind her, concerned about paparazzi following and secretly photographing her.
