Chapter 113 A Minor Tidbit?

When Shen Luo said that, not only the An family members who had just arrived, but even An Rui was clearly surprised by his response.

A hint of smugness appeared on An Rui's face, and he almost eagerly said to An Shuhai:

"See, Dad? I told you, it was just a little squabble between teammates, nothing serious."

"A mere scuffle, my foot!" An Ling retorted immediately. "How could a scuffle cause someone to be injured like this?"

In front of everyone, she lifted up Shen Luo's clothes. There were several bruises on his stomach, and the colors of the bruises were different, so they were obviously not from the same time.

Shen Luo showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he subconsciously raised his hand and then lowered it, without stopping An Ling's actions.

An Rui and his gang always chose to hit him in places where his clothes would cover him, so when he was wearing normal clothes, no one would notice the marks of bullying on his body.

When Pei Yuning saw this scene, she felt as if her breath had stopped for a moment, and that heart-wrenching feeling surged into her heart again.

She subconsciously raised her hand to touch the bruises, wanting to ask Shen Luo if he was in a lot of pain, but Shen Luo seemed to sense her intention, and took An Ling's hand away first, pulling his clothes down again.

“Shen Luo, don’t be afraid, really, just tell the truth,” An Ling advised. “We won’t side with An Rui.”

Shen Luo noticed that besides An Rui and his accomplices, only members of the An family were present. He worried that the An family wouldn't uphold justice and would only want to avoid trouble.

In truth, Shen Luo wasn't afraid of An Rui at all in a fight, but he knew An Rui's identity and knew he couldn't possibly stand up to him, or rather, to the An family behind him.

[But this opportunity to become an idol is very important to Shen Luo, and he can't afford to make any mistakes. He just doesn't want any complications, which is why he's been holding back.]

Shen Luo glanced at An Ling again, then tentatively spoke:

"That's right, An Rui and his cronies were the ones who did all this. Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do about it?"

Before the An family could answer, Shen Luo's phone rang.

He took out his phone, saw the contact, and a look of surprise crossed his face. He immediately answered the call.

"Dad? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"What? You came to watch my show?" A hint of surprise appeared in Shen Luo's eyes. "Where are you? Okay, I'll come find you right now."

He hung up the phone and looked at the An family members who were patiently waiting for him to finish the call, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Let's talk about this later. My dad's here, and I want to go see him first."

An Shuhai nodded. "There's no need to discuss it later. Since your father is here, let him know about this matter. We are willing to cooperate with whatever you wish us to do."

Shen Luo's first reaction was to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

"Okay, my dad is waiting for me in the lounge."

The An family members made way for him, and Shen Luo walked past An Rui on the ground without looking back.

"Get up and follow me." An Shuhai glared at An Rui before stepping outside.

An Rui dared not disobey An Shuhai, so he could only endure the pain and get up, following his father anxiously.

An Chong looked at the other three people huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, and said in a deep voice, "The three of you too, come with me."

The An family had only just met these three people; they were all contestants on the same show, and some even debuted successfully tonight.

They were even afraid of An Rui, let alone An Chong.

None of the three dared to refuse, and they all obediently followed An Chong toward the lounge.

A large group of people returned to the building where the lounge was located, only to find that there were far fewer people in the building.

After the show ended, most of the remaining trainees and their families left, and many staff members had also gone home. The few staff members who encountered them saw so many people walking together, and although they were curious, they did not dare to come over and ask after seeing the unpleasant expressions on the An family members' faces.

Shen Luo walked at the front. He pushed open the door of a lounge and his eyes lit up when he saw the people inside.

He walked into the lounge, and you could even sense his surprise and delight in his tone. "Dad? You really came?"

An Shuhai followed closely behind into the lounge, intending to apologize to Shen Luo's father first, and then discuss how to handle An Rui's matter.

As a result, he stopped in his tracks when he saw the person Shen Luo called "Dad" in the lounge.

An Shuhai looked around again, and after confirming that there was indeed only that one person in the lounge, he still spoke with some uncertainty:

"Honghui? What are you doing here? You... are Shen Luo's father?"

Shen Honghui also saw An Shuhai. He smiled awkwardly and nodded, saying:

"Haha, yes, it's been a long time since I've seen Shuhai. Shen Luo is indeed my son."

After he finished speaking, the rest of the An family and An Rui's three lackeys walked in one after another.

Shen Honghui was completely bewildered by the scene. "Shuhai, what's going on?"

An Shuhai really didn't expect to meet Shen Honghui under these circumstances.

Shen Honghui was his childhood friend, but later Shen Honghui seemed to have shifted his focus to other places and stopped paying attention to An Shuhai, and the two gradually lost contact.

This was their first meeting in many years, and he had no idea that Shen Luo was actually Shen Honghui's son.

Anling looked at her father, then at the man she had never seen before, and sensed that something was wrong.

Does her dad know Shen Luo's dad?

And judging from her father's expression, it seems that the two have a rather unusual relationship.

"Dad?" An Ling called out to An Shuhai, "Do you know Shen Luo's father?"

"Yes, this is Dad's friend Shen Honghui. You can call him Uncle Shen. Dad and Uncle Shen haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect to meet under these circumstances."

[Shen Honghui? That name sounds familiar. He's the one Dad used to mention, the one he grew up with, had a great relationship with, and then suddenly moved away from Haicheng twenty years ago?]

[What? Isn't Shen Luo a rich young master?]

[Then why was he still being bullied by An Rui, and why did he choose to let it go for fear of losing his chance to become an idol?]

An Ling's question at this moment is also the question of every member of the An family.

Although the Shen family is now on the decline, it was once a truly powerful family. Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the Shen family is not "fallen apart".

As Shen Honghui's son, it wouldn't be difficult for Shen Luo to enter the entertainment industry and become an idol if he really wanted to.

How could someone be bullied and remain silent just because they're afraid of losing a chance to participate in a talent show?
