Chapter 237 Brothers in Misfortune

The Shen family had originally planned to go to Hong Kong during the May Day holiday, but they moved the date forward by two days.

Lu Jianguo originally didn't plan to go, but after what happened that night, and with his beloved granddaughter saying she couldn't bear to part with her grandfather, and also to teach Lu Chenyue and Shen Shilan a lesson, the two families decided to take a private plane and leave overnight.

The four children took leave, and Lu Feng and his wife went on a business trip to another city. The Lu and Shen families left completely overnight, without even leaving a word for them.

The two were stunned by the butler's words, and their hearts sank.

They exchanged a glance, then took out their phones and started making calls while going back to their respective homes to pack.

Less than half an hour later, the two met at the entrance of the Lu family's house.

This time, the two were surprisingly harmonious, neither of them held the other back, and they shared the same goal.

They bought tickets for the next available flight to the port city, even if it was in economy class.

On the way, Shen Shilan called the Shen family, but no one answered.

He then sent messages to everyone.

It took him a long time to receive Shen An's reply.

"Uncle, Grandma is really angry this time. She won't let us answer your calls or reply to your messages. Good luck to you."

Shen Shilan looked at the message and knew that this time it was really over.

The same treatment was given to Lu Chenyue as well.

No matter how many times he called or messaged Shen Wanning, she wouldn't answer or reply, and neither would her two nephews.

They knew that this time, both families were serious.

Port City, Shen Family.

Lu Jianguo, Lu Yifan, and Lu Shulang were all visiting Gangcheng for the first time, and it was also their first time visiting the Shen family.

It's already very hot here; everyone is wearing short sleeves and it's hot, but the locals have gotten used to this climate.

They arrived very late last night, and Lu Shulang and Le Bao were already asleep.

This morning, Lu Shulang took Le Bao out for a stroll as soon as they got up.

Shen An also pulled Lu Yifan along, following behind the two little ones, introducing them to Lu Yifan while watching the little ones running around.

Lu Jianguo felt it was too hot to go out, saying he would wait until it cooled down in the evening before going out to take a look.

Xiang Jiahui and Shen Huaqiang stayed at home with him.

As for Shen Wanning, she was busy preparing lunch.

Since it was her father-in-law and two nephews' first visit, she, as the hostess, felt it was essential to treat them well.

When Lu Chenyue and Shen Shilan arrived, Le Bao was wearing a little swimsuit and doggy-paddled in the pool.

Shen An and Lu Yifan each took care of one child, but Lu Shulang couldn't swim yet, so Lu Yifan was teaching him.

Le Bao had almost forgotten the doggy paddle technique he learned here last time because he hadn't used it for a long time.

But as soon as she got into the water, her little arms and legs seemed to have a memory, and she started dog paddling on her own.

Seeing that his younger sister could swim on her own, Lu Shulang, being competitive, told Lu Yifan to let go, because he felt he could do it too.

Lu Yifan didn't say anything was missing. He believed that experience would teach him a lesson, and he would learn from it after suffering a loss.

So when Lu Shulang tried to imitate Le Bao by paddling on all fours, he sank before he even started and choked on some water.

After Lu Yifan pulled him up, he dared not let go again, clinging tightly to his brother's neck with both hands.

On the other hand, Le Bao was having a great time playing in the water because it was so hot. Her little arms and legs looked like a little frog, and she was incredibly cute.

Shen An carried her on his back and swam with her.

"Gagaga".

The little guy's laughter could be heard from a great distance.

Shen Shilan and Lu Chenyue entered at this moment.

The two of them didn't even bother to tidy their hair and beards; they just changed their clothes and left in a hurry.

"Le Bao".

"Baby."

The chubby boy, who had been laughing heartily, changed his expression instantly upon seeing the two of them, snorted coldly, and slapped Shen An as he turned his head away.

Ugh, you stinky dad and stinky uncle, they actually threw me on the ground! I'm not going to forgive them!

Grandpa and Grandma said they should be taught a lesson and that forgiveness shouldn't be given lightly.

Seeing Le Bao's expression, the two awkwardly scratched their heads and then looked at the other people in the pool.

However, after meeting their gazes, everyone quickly looked away.

The family has given a strict order: no one is allowed to talk to them, or they'll all be kicked out.

The two stayed by the pool, watching the little guy playing happily in the water.

Seeing that it was almost time, and that soaking for too long would cause the skin to peel, Shen An picked up Le Bao and called the two Lu brothers to go inside for a shower.

When they came down, they saw two large Buddha statues standing in the living room.

Two tall men, each over 1.8 meters tall, stood awkwardly in the center of the living room, their faces full of unease and anxiety.

Seeing Shen Wanning bring out the dishes, the two immediately went over, took the dishes from her hands, and gently placed them on the table.

Shen Wanning didn't try to take it from them, and turned around to go to the kitchen.

The two seemed to have found a way to salvage the situation and began looking for things to do all over the house.

Whether it's making tea, serving dishes, or washing fruit, they're always the first to rush off to any job available.

Finally, it was lunchtime.

The long dining table was laden with local specialties and seafood, which amazed Le Bao and Lu Shulang.

When the meal was served, those who were seated also got up and sat down at the table.

There were clearly not enough bowls and chopsticks on the table; there were two missing.

Not just bowls and chopsticks, but even stools—no more, no less, except for the two of them.

The two had been very attentive all afternoon, but in the end, they didn't even get a seat.

What's even more disheartening is that from the moment they entered until now, no one has paid any attention to them, treating them like they don't exist.

The dinner table was lively, with everyone greeting each other and discussing which dish was delicious, which seafood was plump and succulent, and which soup was flavorful.

The two were exhausted and hungry. They had only eaten some dry food at Feng Yan's house last night and had no appetite.

At this moment, looking at the table full of delicious seafood dishes, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Wow, this tastes so good, I want more!"

The most outrageous one was little Le Bao. She had an Australian lobster tail in her left hand and a honey-glazed chicken leg in her right. She would make a slurping sound when she took a bite, and her mouth was full of oil.

She ate while giving the two of them a smug smile.

Shen Wanning looked at the chubby boy's smug expression and sighed helplessly.

At this point, the little brat really wants to get his way, which makes you so angry you want to grind your teeth.

Shen Shilan nudged Lu Chenyue with her elbow, signaling him to follow.

Lu Chenyue glanced at the group of people sitting at the table, enjoying their meal, and hesitated before following him.

Shen Shilan led Lu Chenyue into the kitchen, turning over pots and pans, and finally found the remaining vegetables in one pot, and then found seafood soup in the soup pot.

So, these two big shots who usually wield great power in the workplace are now holed up in the kitchen, secretly eating the chef's leftovers.

The two of them also ate voraciously, showing none of their usual restraint.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, Shen Shilan burst out laughing.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? One day, the two of us were actually sneaking a bite in the kitchen so peacefully."

Yes, Lu Chenyue was also quite moved.

The two had been at odds since they first met, so who would have thought that one day they would be so harmonious, sharing a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice together?

Little did they know that the reason the two families were punishing them this time was not only to vent their anger for their beloved granddaughter.

This scene was exactly what both families wanted to achieve this time.
