Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Su Tang and Shen Yuan's arrival did attract the attention of the Shen family, but their focus quickly shifted. Specifically, to the fact that Shen Yuan was actually holding his little assistant's hand.

How could this be!

Although many of them didn't acknowledge Shen Yuan's authority, as members of the Shen family, if this got out, how could they show their faces in public?

Consequently, even Grandfather Shen made an appearance.

He hadn't emerged during Mr. and Mrs. Ye's entire commotion, yet because of Shen Yuan's actions, he personally came downstairs, leaning on his cane.

Although his hair was already gray, his eyes were sharp and alert. When he stared at Shen Yuan, he exuded an intimidating aura.

Grandfather Shen had spent a lifetime struggling. In his youth, the Shen family had once faced bankruptcy. It was only through his relentless efforts and pouring everything he had into the business that he managed to revive it.

Grandfather Shen's youthful experiences were somewhat similar to Father Ye's. He had married the woman he loved, but as time went on, that love faded. Shen Yuan's father was the child of Grandfather Shen's first wife; the rest were born from his second marriage.

In his youth, Grandfather Shen had also defied conventions. For instance, in his choice of wife, he hadn't followed the family's arrangements but instead married an actress. Back then, among all social classes, actors were the lowest. Given the Shen family's status at the time, this caused a sensation. Sadly, the sweet days didn't last long. Within three years, the Shen Corporation faced financial difficulties, and the former sweetness turned into a burden. It was then that the Zhao family extended an olive branch, on the condition that he marry Miss Zhao, who was Shen Ling's paternal grandmother.

The Zhao and Shen families were well-matched. Miss Zhao was a true heiress, a world apart from the actress, with no comparison between them.

Shen Yuan's grandmother had been resolute. She had been formally married and brought into the family; how could she now be relegated to the position of a concubine? So, she divorced him and disappeared without a trace.

She couldn't take her son with her, but she refused to remain in the Shen family and waste her life away. As a result, Shen Yuan's father resented her, hating her for not taking him with her.

Shen Yuan grew up in this dysfunctional family. Later, to spite Grandfather Shen, his father deliberately married another actress. He didn't love her and, when drunk, would even abuse her. But every time he thought of Grandfather Shen's grim face at his wedding, he felt a sense of satisfaction and exhilaration.

Shen Yuan's mother was a complete tragedy, never experiencing true love. Her son, from a young age, lived cautiously.

Grandfather Shen disliked him, and his own father disliked him even more. Just like with his mother, whenever he did something wrong, he would be beaten and kicked. Of course, Shen Yuan's mother loved him dearly, so whenever he was beaten, she would protect him.

In the entire Shen family, the only person Shen Yuan cared about was his mother. Even when his father died in a drunk-driving accident, he wasn't sad but rather overjoyed.

That way, he could never hit his mother again.

The current scene seemed to trigger Grandfather Shen's distant memories. He flew into a rage, pounding his cane heavily on the floor. "Shen Yuan, are you going to follow in your father's footsteps?!"

Shen Yuan tightened his grip on Su Tang's hand and looked at Grandfather Shen with a smile. "No, I'm not a coward."

His words implied that his father was a coward.

No matter how angry Grandfather Shen was, no matter how much he looked down on his son, he wouldn't allow his grandson to slander him. His face darkened instantly, his gaze icy. "Have you thought this through? Do you really want to do this?"

Shen Yuan met his gaze, a sardonic smile playing on his lips. "From the moment I stepped into the Shen family, I've thought it through very clearly." He then glanced at Shen Ling, who was sitting on the sofa with a numb expression. "Speaking of which, I have to thank Second Young Master Shen."

Shen Ling, suddenly called out, flinched, thinking he was about to be scolded again. But when he came to his senses, he heard Shen Yuan thanking him.

He both hated and feared this cousin of his. Hearing him express gratitude was utterly inconceivable.

"Thank me for what?"

Shen Yuan replied, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to study abroad."

As soon as he mentioned studying abroad, Shen Ling's face paled. Back then, Shen Yuan had been forced to leave the country because of him. Even after he went abroad, the Zhao family didn't relent, intending to cripple this genius to prevent him from competing with their grandson for the Shen family's assets.

In the Zhao family's view, Shen Yuan wasn't qualified to inherit the Shen family. After all, if it weren't for the Zhao family, the Shen family would have gone bankrupt long ago. He should have disappeared from their sight, just like his actress grandmother.

Shen Ling's head was already pounding from Mr. and Mrs. Ye's tirade. Yet, since he was in the wrong, he hadn't uttered a word, enduring their reprimands until now. However, Shen Yuan was different. A single sentence from him was enough to make him anxious for days.

"Shen Yuan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Shen Yuan's arrival today seemed unintentional, but he had already made up his mind. He didn't intend to reveal Ye Jiao's true identity, so to the outside world, she was still the Chinese-American Young Master Cheng.

Being with her would inevitably lead to opposition from the Shen family, but he didn't care about the Shen family anyway.

So, he declared, "Congratulations, the Shen family is yours."

His 'coming out' in front of Grandfather Shen was a blatant disregard for the Shen Corporation.

Grandfather Shen was furious. Although he hadn't been involved in the company's affairs for years and had taken good care of himself, he was old after all. This anger caused him to feel short of breath and chest tightness, almost fainting. "Shen Yuan! Good, you are truly excellent!"

The rest of the Shen family didn't dare to breathe, except for Mr. and Mrs. Ye, whose eyes lit up.

If Shen Yuan gave up his inheritance, then, as the second young master of the Shen family, Shen Ling would most likely become the CEO of Shen Corporation.

Shen Yuan dropped these words and turned to leave, completely ignoring Grandfather Shen's furious roars from behind.

Su Tang, led by his hand, felt dazed. Only after returning to the car did she come to her senses.

"We're leaving just like that?"

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Do you still want to stay?"

Su Tang fell silent. He really is a cunning businessman. He said he wanted to pursue her, and then sealed the deal with a kiss in the morning. By the afternoon, he had taken it even further, announcing it to the world.

Shen Yuan remembered what she had said before: that the Shen family was too complicated, and she didn't like such families. Even without her, Shen Yuan himself had intended to leave the Shen family, but he had simply moved up the timeline.

"Come with me to see someone later."

Su Tang was puzzled. Who could be worth his special visit?

Shen Yuan didn't explain but drove all the way to a sanatorium. There, Su Tang saw an elegant woman.

The woman must have been very beautiful when she was young. Even with age, traces of her former beauty could still be seen between her brows.

She looked at the newcomers, stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile bloomed on her face.

"Xiao Yuan, you're here."
