Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Your Son Wasn’t the One to Be Trifled With
“Shen Yan, you come back at this hour and stir the entire family! Are you despising me, this old lady? Ok, now you are all grown up, and there is no room for us! Then drive us away.” The Old Madame realized that he didn’t even listen to her. Her whole body shivered.

“Finally, the Old Madame says what you want to say, so I will say what I want to say too, clearly. I will take my mother away tonight. Before we leave, Auntie and everyone here have to apologize to her.” Shen Yan said to the Old Madame with a cold tone.

“What, what do you mean?” The Old Madame was shocked but immediately understood what he came for.

The Second Madame had always been a reasonable person. She would not talk to her son about the affairs. So, who was talking behind her back? The Old Madame scanned sharply through the room.

All lowered their heads. Most people here had bullied the Second Madame. Even if someone here had not bullied her, she didn’t treat the Second Madame well. So, no one would seek the trouble by telling Shen Yan what was going on.

Shen Yan came back because of this with an aggressive posture. He was backing down if they were unable to settle this matter.

The Old Madame didn’t know what to do.

“Didn’t I make it clear? You have always projected yourself as a fair and unselfish person who treats the two grandchildren and the two daughters-in-law equally. Is it true?” Shen Yan greeted the Old Madame’s gaze full of disdain.

Shen Yan had never been a serious person. The Old Madame never thought that such a statement would come from him. As the Old Madame faced her grandson’s confrontation, her face turned red, and her body shook.

Secretary Yang hurried over to hold her.

“Young Master Yan, please calm down. What happened today might be understood. It’s not what you think.” Someone had to speak now. Secretary Yang had to put a bold face on it.

“Oh, so today’s business is a misunderstanding, which means there is something that is not a misunderstanding?” Shen Yan’s tone was calm.

When Secretary Yang heard that, he quickly stopped talking. The Old Madame was indeed too arrogant.

“Shen Yan, are you serious about this? If you worked with your brother, instead of going against him all the time, would anything like this ever happen?” The First Madame heard the noise and came out. As she saw that Shen Yan was making a scene and upsetting the Old Madame, she spoke up.

In First Madame’s logic, all of this happened because of this kid.

“Auntie, I don’t understand your logic. Let’s make everything clear in front of the Old Madame. Did my grandfather write a will saying Shen Group would belong to my older brother? Or did Shen Family have a family rule that only the oldest brother gets to run Shen Group? Or is there a law in our country that only my older brother will have Shen family?” Seeing that the First Madame took the initiative to speak out, Shen Yan rebuked her with great fury when recalling what she did to his mother.

“Shen Yan, how can you talk to the elders like this?” Shen Yan was giving the Old Madame a headache.

Shen Yan smiled softly and said, “Old Madame, I am bitterly disappointed by what you just said. Let’s think about it. Is what you people did recently respectable at all?”

His words made Old Madame speechless for a long time.

Secretary Yang said, “Young Master Yan, you can’t completely blame this matter on us! Please watch your manner!”

“Oh, I shall remember Secretary Yang’s words. Do you mean that I shall treat everyone equally? No problem, he knows the trick to make Tengfei’s employees resign. I’ll do the same.” The corners of Shen Yan’s lips went up and evoked a touch of defiance.

“How dare you!” The First Madame immediately jumped up and yelled, “Shen Yan, I’m telling you. If you dare to do this, I will immediately kick you and your mother out! Believe it or not!”

“Is my Auntie threatening me?” Shen Yan’s gaze crossed the Old Madame’s face and he chuckled, “Really? I can’t wait to see that!”

The First Madame couldn’t speak for a long time in Shen Yan’s presence. Her words could be useful to deal with the Second Madame, but apparently, they were useless to Shen Yan.

“Well, you’re talking nonsense.” The Old Madame knew that the more they talked, the more shameful they appeared, “Shen Yan, I heard what happened to your mom. I went to see her but she said she felt dizzy. That’s it.”

“Really? Old Madame, you are such a smart person. Are you pretending to be stupid now? My mother is not sick. You are older than her. You are not dizzy, and she is dizzy?” Shen Yan almost applauded to the Old Madame, “Don’t forget the person who pulled you up when your car fell off the cliff on one of your business trips. You must have a conscience.”

The Old Madame lowered her head when Shen Yan confronted her. But for the Second Madame, she would have already been smashed to pieces.

“Little Yan, don’t talk nonsense.” The Second Madame heard the clamor outside and struggled out of the bed, “I have a cold. Don’t listen to nonsense.”

“Mom, since you often catch a cold here, why don’t you live with me?” Shen Yan came to her mother’s side and held her hand.

“No, I’m fine here. I’m not going anywhere.” The Second Madame shook her head.

Shen Yan said, “Mom, I know what you mean. You’re trying to save your part of Shen Family’s fortune. Rest assured, and your son isn’t a guy to be trifled with. I’ll do whatever necessary if they ever dare to deprive of even a small part of your fortune.”

“Shen Yan, do you still respect me as your grandmother?” Was this a revolt? The Old Madame’s blood pressure was rising.

“When my Auntie said the same thing, why didn’t you talk?” Shen Yan asked, “Did you authorize her to say this? Or you are nothing in front of her? Or you have become a tool she uses to deal with me and my mother?”

Shen Yan’s words were not long, but they were long enough to frighten the First Madame.

Were her behaviors too obvious? Or did this kid already know something? If so, this kid was too competent. How could he know such a discreet act?

“Little Yan, don’t talk nonsense.” The Second Madame shook her head.

“Mom, I don’t want to talk nonsense. Please come with me. Since you are unhappy here, why are you staying?” Shen Yan said what he wanted to say. Now it was up to the rest of the family to decide what to do.

If it had to come to an open break with each other, let it be open! If it had to come to the Shen Family’s dignity, let us maintain it! It was up to the Old Madame and the First Madame to decide the next action.

“First Madame, did you make the Second Madame so angry that she fainted as Shen Yan described?” The Old Madame took a deep breath before asking the First Madame. She knew Shen Yan’s temper too well. Since Shen Yan came here, she had to give him an explanation.

“I’m doing this for the company. Shen Yan spent so much money on the company’s election, which ended up in a disaster for people all ran away. I just mentioned it briefly in front of the Second Madame and asked her to control her son. That’s all.” The First Madame stared at the Second Madame without any intention to obey her. Was the Second Madame made of paper? Was it so easy for her to faint? Maybe she pretended?

“That’s enough! The Board of Directors at Tengfei will make their judgment. You are the oldest laughter-in-law. How can you treat your sister-in-law in this way? Apologize!” The more the First Madame said, the more mistakes she made. The Old Madame passed a look to the First Madame, which asked the First Madame to bear the bitterness and send Shen Yan on his way for now.

“Sister-in-law, I am sorry! I was thinking of the company. I didn’t expect your temperament to be so strong.” The First Madame had to pretend to apologize. She had plenty of chances to deal with Shen Yan tomorrow anyways.

“My sister-in-law, I’m fine! Little Yan said those things out of nervousness. Don’t mind him!” The Second Madame hurriedly squeezed a smile.

That was it? This damned kid dared to disrespect me. Just waited for it! I didn’t even need to lift my fingers to make you and your mother live a horrible life!

“What about you people?” Shen Yan stared at the maids.

Even the First Madame apologized, how could they not apologize? All of them came to apologize to the Second Madame.

“You don’t even respect the mistress of this house. What’s the use of you here? Go back and pack. Secretary Yang, please arrange the last payment.” How could Shen Yan let these people stay at home? He fired them immediately.

“Shen Yan, how can you assign Secretary Yang what to do?” The First Madame was furious. Secretary Yang worked for the Old Madame, and she would not let Shen Yan have his way.

“I am the second son of Shen Family. Am I not qualified to direct Secretary Yang?” Shen Yan squinted slightly. It seemed that she was not convinced.

“Enough, enough!” Secretary Yang hurriedly said, “You guys come with me to arrange the last payment.”

“You ask people to leave at midnight? If the news was spread, what would the others say about it?” The First Madame asked, “Ever since your grandpa’s time, our family has been kind to employees. How come we have a young master like you now?”

“I agree with you, Auntie. Secretary Yang, call the police!” Shen Yan said with understatement.

They indeed bullied the Second Madame after being instructed by the First Madame. However, they couldn’t tell the police that the First Madame instructed them. The consequence could be horrible. The First Madame was Shen Mo’s mother after all!

However, Shen Yan also had his temper. Shen Yan had concrete evidence against the maids today, and the maids would be happy if they could leave without any harm today. How could they dare to stay for one more minute?

Everyone rushed over and said, “We are wrong. We are grateful for Young Master Yan’s generosity.”

Everyone left in a hurry with belongings. The maids were afraid that Shen Yan would change his mind if they left late.

“Little Yan, you are too impulsive! With everyone gone, who would do the housework and cook breakfast tomorrow?” Shen Family’s house was huge. It would take 5 or 6 people to clean the yard. Shen Yan was too impulsive to fire all the workers.

The First Madame rolled her eyes and said with strong sarcasm, “He could fire people as well as hire people. Your son is capable! What are you afraid of?”

In her mind, she was thinking that he could clean the house tomorrow.

Shen Yan ignored her and called Liu Sijie, “I need two chefs, three gardeners, five cleaners, four babysitters, plus a professional butler in the old house in 2 hours.”

Shen Yan had the confidence to hire a few new workers.

Two hours later, the new workers were in place. In the hindsight, it appeared that the entire house was now under Shen Yan’s control?

The First Madame realized that Shen Yan took control of the house without much effort. And she did not have the power to revert to the former situation.
