Shen Biqin stumbled and almost fell. Ye Fan quickly reached out to support his mother: "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Shen Biqin tried her best to calm down, then looked at her great-grandma and asked with difficulty:
"Grandma, what did you just say?"
She still didn't give up.
"Can't you hear what I say?"
Grandma used her crutches to slam the ground, and shouted without anger:
"I asked Ye Fan to hand over the secret recipe of the eighth-grade herbal tea. He improved it on Shen Baodong's sixth-grade herbal tea, and it should be left to the Shen Group."
"Of course, I will not erase the merits of your mother and son."
"As long as you hand over the eighth-level secret recipe, I will give Mark one million and let you return to the Shen family."
"The past grudges have also been wiped out."
She waved her hand: "Let Mark write down the secret recipe."
"Did you hear that, the Shen family will give you mother and son a chance?"
Shen Baodong echoed: "Keep the eighth-level secret recipe and I will not hold you accountable, otherwise I will put you in jail."
Zhang Xiuxue also sneered. A down-and-out mother and son also wanted to challenge their husband and even broke his legs. They were so naive.
"Grandma, how could you do this?"
Shen Biqin tried her best to say: "This is obviously the secret recipe prepared by Ye Fan. How can it be improved from the sixth-level secret recipe?"
"We all come from a background of making herbal teas. Everyone knows that for herbal teas above level five, it is very difficult to upgrade each level."
"From level five to level six, the Shen family has made no progress despite their efforts for thirty years."
"Improvement of level six herbal tea to level eight, do you think it can be completed in one day? It may not be possible for the Shen family to develop it even if it takes three hundred years."
"This can only show that Ye Fan already has an eighth-level secret recipe in his mind."
"And the secret recipe for Level 6 was originally prepared by Ye Fan, but it was taken for himself by my eldest brother."
She thought the old man was confused for a moment: "Grandma, I hope you can see the truth of the matter clearly..."
"Shut up!"
Grandma interrupted Shen Biqin without politeness: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
"Don't tell me a bunch of things that are useful or useless. Judging from the evidence you submitted, the sixth-level secret recipe belongs to Shen Baodong."
"Ye Fan was able to prepare it based on the sixth-level secret recipe. As for how to prepare it, it may be because of his extraordinary talent, or it may be something else..."
"But no matter what, it belongs to the Shen family's assets, and you must hand it over."
"justice?"
The wife’s eyes were contemptuous: “Ask everyone, who is right and who is wrong in this matter?”
"There must be something wrong with Shen Biqin and Ye Fan. Stealing the secret recipe is already a mistake, but they still don't leave behind the secret recipe for improvement. They make the same mistake again and again."
"Yes, without Shen Baodong's secret recipe for level 6, how could Ye Fan get level 8?"
"At Ye Fan's age, he has no accumulation or experience. If he is not inspired by Brother Shen's secret recipe, how can he get inspiration?"
"Although Ye Fan has merit, Shen Baodong is even more meritorious. Ye Fan is just a tree planted by his predecessors, and his descendants enjoy the shade."
"The hearts of these mother and son are too dark. The Shen family doesn't even care about their theft and hurting others. What else do they want to do if they give back one million?"
"If you want the lion to open its mouth wide, it's a pity that grandma doesn't like this..."
"Don't forget the well digger, Shen Biqin, you mother and son can't take advantage of money."
The Shen family members around were talking one after another, making false claims about Shen Biqin and Ye Fan, as if they were heinous criminals.
Everyone knows that the profits brought by the eighth-grade herbal tea to the Shen family will be astronomical, and they can live without worries for fifty years.
At this moment, right or wrong no longer matters, what matters is interests and benefits, so they all throw dirty water on Bi Qin without conscience.
Taking advantage of the shared hatred, Shen Baodong shouted to Shen Biqin:
"Shen Biqin, the public's eyes are sharp. Everyone says you are wrong. What else do you have to say?"
Seeing her great-grandmother and members of the Shen family like this, Shen Biqin, who had been feeling guilty for twenty years, turned pale.
It was the first time she discovered that the family she had talked about for many years was so unfamiliar, and it was also the first time she felt that she was incompatible with this family.
"Mom, do you realize now that they are unreasonable?"
Ye Fan stepped forward to protect his mother, glanced at his grandmother and Shen Baodong, and said:
"They've always had this face. If they can't bully us openly, they just confuse right and wrong to rob us."
"This is true today, and it will be true twenty years from now."
"Do you think it was you who accidentally revealed the secret recipe twenty years ago?"
Grandma and the others' expressions changed, and they stared at Ye Fan with a bit more fierceness.
Shen Biqin asked subconsciously: "Ye Fan, what do you mean?"
"Mom, think about it..."
Ye Fan's voice was cold:
"If the secret recipe is really leaked, can Shen's herbal tea dominate for thirty years? Can there be no opponents to stand up and compete in the ring?"
"Aunt Gui worked hard to steal the secret recipe and didn't sell it to her competitors to compete with the Shen family. Should she keep it in the box and pass it on to the next generation?"
"If my guess is correct, Aunt Gui stole the secret recipe from you at their instigation. The purpose was to make you feel guilty."
He could see through Grandma's thoughts at a glance: "As long as you feel guilty, you will definitely give up your grandparents' property and the shares in your hands."
"Ye Fan, is this your speculation, or do you have evidence?"
Shen Biqin grabbed Ye Fan's hand and squeezed out: "You can't talk nonsense."
She really didn't want to use such malicious speculation on the Shen family, whose blood is thicker than water.
"Mom, this is my speculation, but it is definitely a fact. If you need evidence, I will find it for you sooner or later."
Ye Fan spoke word by word: "The Shen family has never regarded you as a relative."
"They feel that as a woman, you will get married sooner or later and become an outsider sooner or later, so they will not let you take away those assets, even if they belong to you."
"This time they took possession of the Level 6 secret recipe as their own, just because of their nature."
"They can't see that you have something good in your hands."
Ye Fan bluntly exposed Grandma and the others' thoughts: "Anything of some value belongs to the Shen family in their eyes, and you should hand it over too."
Zhang Xiuxue couldn't help but interject: "A married woman throws water away, so she has the nerve to worry about her mother's family's assets? Everything in the Shen family belongs to my Baodong."
Ye Fan sneered: "Look, am I right? They don't regard you as a relative."
The corner of Shen Biqin's mouth was moved: "Then they will let me come back, and they will give me good food and drink, and give me a house..."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes: "That's because they have other plans..."
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Grandma rudely interrupted Ye Fan's words, and shouted with crutches:
"Ye Fan, you mother and son are shameless, so don't throw dirty water on the Shen family."
"Shen Biqin, you have disappointed me so much. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. But if you bite back when you are wrong, your character is too despicable."
"Ye Fan, stop giving me nonsense."
She threatened unceremoniously: "The police will be here soon. If you don't leave the secret recipe, you will bear the consequences."
The bone-chilling voice reached Shen Biqin's ears, making Shen Biqin realize that Grandma Tai and the others really didn't regard her as one of them.
Blood is thicker than water, it's just wishful thinking.
"Mom, this is the Shen family you have been feeling guilty about for more than 20 years."
Ye Fan supported Shen Biqin: "Slander your reputation, rob me of my achievements, and threaten you and me with the police."
"In their eyes, profit comes first, do you still need to be nostalgic?"
At this moment, police sirens sounded outside.
Grandma said fiercely: "Ye Fan, the police are here. If you hurt someone, just wait to go to jail."
"Grandma, this is the last time I call you."
"You and the Shen family really disappoint me."
Shen Biqin said with a trembling voice: "From today on, I will leave the Shen family and no longer be a member of the Shen family."
"Mom, you are wrong."
Ye Fan stepped forward and scanned the crowd: "Those with low moral character should get out of the Shen family."
"My great-grandma, Shen Baodong, Zhang Xiuxue, everyone present is counted as one."
"From now on, you are no longer my mother's Shen family."
