Chapter 114 once again voiced a dissenting opinion.
An Ling really couldn't understand this problem, because the original novel didn't mention Shen Luo's identity at all. If he really was the young master of the Shen family, why would he keep running errands and even working as a stunt double in order to make money?
While An Shuhai was explaining the bullying to Shen Honghui, An Ling checked the relevant information about the Shen family father and son on the character query tool, and only then did she barely understand why Shen Luo was in this situation.
Shen Luo's mother suffered a lot during her pregnancy to protect the pregnancy, and almost had a miscarriage. As a result, she never liked him and sent him to a boarding martial arts school when he was very young.
[Because Shen Honghui loved his wife, he indulged her in everything. In order to please her and avoid upsetting her, he also neglected Shen Luo.]
【Huh? Is this really true?】
An Ling felt that Shen Honghui's logic was a bit off, so she dug deeper and found that although Shen Honghui thought he loved his wife very much, An Ling thought that his love was far from genuine!
[What the hell?! Your heart may love your wife, but how can your body still be searching for mistresses?!]
An Shuhai, who was talking to Shen Honghui, paused for a moment upon hearing this, cleared his throat, and couldn't help but ask:
"How are you and Xiaoyue?"
Shen Honghui didn't know why An Shuhai suddenly changed the subject.
"We're doing fine."
“Oh, right,” he said, turning to Shen Luo as if to explain something, “Actually, your mother came with me too, but she left after watching the show.”
"Really?" Shen Luo's eyes widened slightly, wanting to believe it yet not daring to believe it.
“Really, she does care about you,” Shen Honghui affirmed. “It’s just that, as you know, she’s not very good at expressing herself. She was probably afraid of affecting your performance, so we didn’t go to the family section. We just watched the show from the regular audience seats and left.”
“But I saw that the other contestants’ family and friends had gone backstage, so I wanted to come and see you. Your mother couldn’t come because she’s not feeling well and can’t stay up all night.”
Shen Luo nodded slightly.
It was something he never dared to dream of for his mother to come and see him in person, and he wouldn't ask for anything more.
No wonder Shen Honghui maintains such an indifferent attitude towards his own son, Shen Luo; it turns out he has children with his mistresses?
The An family members looked at Shen Honghui, who was speaking to Shen Luo with a kind fatherly expression, and their expressions became strange.
Is there some kind of curse on the men of the An family?
It's one thing for the two younger ones to have such outrageous friends, but the older one's friends don't seem to be any better either.
Shen Honghui believed that he only sought to have a child with someone else because Yun Xiaoyue was in poor health and unable to conceive. He maintained that he still loved Yun Xiaoyue emotionally, therefore it didn't constitute betrayal of his family.
As for Shen Luo, he already has other children. Since Yun Xiaoyue doesn't like this son, he's happy to go along with her wishes. There's no need to upset his wife over a son.
[Thus, Shen Luo became a pitiful little guy who was unloved by his parents. What's even more pitiful is that he actually knew the reason why his parents treated him this way, and he also felt that he was the sinner who caused Yun Xiaoyue's poor health, so he felt a deep sense of guilt and remorse towards Yun Xiaoyue.]
Therefore, no matter what happens, he will never think of relying on his family for help, for fear of making Yun Xiaoyue dislike him even more.
Anling: ...
This is hard to judge...
[No matter how much blame you have for this, it shouldn't be placed on Shen Luo, right?]
Thinking of this, An Ling couldn't help but glance at Shen Luo again, only to find that Shen Luo was also looking at her for some reason.
Having just secretly investigated someone else's affairs, An Ling felt a little guilty, and she looked away as soon as their eyes met.
An Shuhai had already explained to Shen Honghui about An Rui bullying Shen Luo.
Shen Honghui's reaction was much calmer than the An family had expected. Although he seemed angry, he was not very angry and managed to listen to the whole thing with a relatively calm attitude. After listening, he pondered for a while and then asked Shen Luo first.
"Xiao Luo, is everything Uncle An said true?"
"Yes."
Perhaps because his father was present, Shen Luo was no longer isolated and helpless. He no longer had any concerns and admitted it directly, and there was even a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
After confirming that it was true, Shen Honghui still did not fly into a rage. He looked thoughtfully at An Rui and An Shuhai, and instead threw the question to An Luo.
"Xiao Luo, you are the one directly involved in this matter, and you're all grown up now. Dad wants to ask you what you think is the best way to handle this."
Shen Honghui really doesn't care much about Shen Luo...
The Shen family's development in recent years has not been smooth. Recently, he has had the idea of returning to Haicheng and thought of his old friend An Shuhai. Naturally, he doesn't want to strain his relationship with the An family.
Therefore, no matter how this matter is ultimately resolved, he cannot be the one to initiate it. He can only let Shen Luo speak first and then observe the An family's reaction. This way, regardless of whether the An family ultimately agrees to Shen Luo's proposed solution, he will still have a chance to mediate.
Shen Luo lowered his head and remained silent for a while. When he looked up again, the light of hope in his eyes had completely disappeared.
“I hope Anrui and the others can apologize to me and promise that they will never bully me again, and that they will not do anything to target me or do anything that would affect our team during the next two years of working together as a group.”
The An family was somewhat taken aback when Shen Luo announced this solution.
That's it?
Clearly, Shen Luo's proposed solution was the least effective and least effective one for An Rui.
Although doing this would cover up the incident and prevent any negative impact on their group due to reports of bullying within the team.
But can Shen Luo swallow this insult?
Just to avoid affecting his team and his chance to be an idol, he actually went to this extent?
Seeing Shen Luo's seemingly calm yet undeniably hurt eyes, even An Shuhai felt a pang of pity.
He knew that doing what Shen Luo said was the best choice for An Rui and the An family. After all, if word got out that An Rui was bullying his teammates, it would not be good for the An family's reputation.
But this is really unfair to Shen Luo.
"Are you sure this is okay?" An Shuhai asked Shen Luo for confirmation.
He wasn't a saint, and he still had to consider things from the perspective of his son and the An family. If Shen Luo really had no other demands, then it would certainly be a good thing for him.
"Hmm," Shen Luo replied in a muffled voice.
Hearing Shen Luo's answer, An Rui breathed a huge sigh of relief. He felt like he had escaped a disaster. Although he might get a beating when he got home, at least this incident wouldn't have any impact on him in the future.
He hadn't expected that Shen Luo was actually the son of his father's friend, but it seemed that Shen Luo's father didn't care much about this son.
After this experience, he realized even more clearly that Shen Luo was indeed an easy target.
He just needs to pretend to apologize to his family today. Anyway, there are still two years left. He can settle the score with Shen Luo later.
Just as he was finally at ease, a voice he utterly disliked rang out again.
"No, I disagree." An Ling once again contradicted everyone in this unexpected situation.
