The villagers behind them were completely forgotten and left behind, so they gradually dispersed. After all, the main characters of the ‘show’ had already left.

Shen Yu quietly walked beside Emily and listened to her. It was the first time he had seen Emily talk so much and was so excited. It was clear how much Emily liked the village chief.

Shen Xue followed behind Shen Yu. She was very careful and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. She knew that she had just pissed Shen Yu off. If Shen Yu got angrier at her, he might throw her back there.

“How was it? Emi didn’t get bullied, right?”

Shen Yan had been waiting at the door since early in the morning. When he saw that Emily and Shen Yu had returned, he hurriedly went forward.

“Grandpa, I’m fine,”?Emily quickly said. Her eyes could not help but feel a little moist.

The Shen family members were only strangers to her, yet they were all so good to her. Everyone in the village had watched her grow up, yet they were still treated like an unwanted stray animal.

“Master Shen, thank you very much. I really appreciate you and your family for taking care of Little Emi.”

The old village chief looked at Mr. Shen in front of him and stepped forward to hold his hand. Unlike the villagers, he didn’t think anything of the status of the person in front of him.

“Grandpa Shen Yan, this is the Grandpa Chief. When I was still in the village, Grandpa Chief was very good to me.”

Seeing that Shen Yan was puzzled, Emily hurriedly explained.

“I only did what I should.”

Shen Yan instantly understood, he shook the village chief’s hand and nodded his head.

“Little Emi, look at you getting all sweaty and dirty. Quickly go wash up. You look like a stray kitten,” the village chief smiled and said to Emily at her side.

Emily was a little embarrassed as Shen Yu pulled her away.

Shen Xue stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. Should she stay or leave with Shen Yu and the others?

“Shen Xue, you should go with your Fifth Brother.”

Shen Yan noticed that the old village chief obviously had something to tell him individually, but Shen Xue just stood there seeming to have no intention to leave. He was a little unhappy at how Shen Xue couldn’t take hints.

“Don’t follow us. Go wherever you want to go,” Shen Yu said.

Shen Yu heard Shen Yan, but he didn’t want to pay any attention to Shen Xue. In fact, he didn’t even want to see Shen Xue right now.

When Shen Xue heard Shen Yu’s words, her eyes immediately turned red, but she didn’t dare to disobey him.

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Xue. He quickly understood that Shen Xue must have done something to make Shen Yu unhappy again.

“In that case, Shen Xue, go back to your room and rest.”

Shen Yan saw Shen Xue’s upset look. Although Shen Xue wasn’t directly related to Shen Yu, she was still his granddaughter.

When Shen Xue saw that even her grandfather was not standing by her side, she felt even more upset. She turned and ran back to her room without saying a word.

Emily wanted to say something, but when she saw the cold expression on Shen Yu’s face, she decided to keep quiet. She didn’t want to make her brother more upset.

Also, she hadn’t forgotten what Shen Xue had said earlier. She had sensed that this sister didn’t like her one bit.

Shen Yu pulled Emily away.

“Master Shen, I’m really grateful for you. Thank you for taking Little Emi in. Although Little Emi has told me only about things that made her happy along the way, I know that she must have suffered a lot when she went out alone.”

The old village chief looked at Emily’s back as she walked away and felt sorry for her. If it weren’t for the little boy beside her protecting her, Emily would have felt far more terrible because of the kids just now.

“I’m getting old and I’m afraid I can no longer protect Little Emi. If Little Emi’s parents saw how she was being treated in the village, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.”

In the old village chief’s mind, Tavis Hyde’s resolute figure blocking in front of the villagers reappeared. If he had known that Emily and her mother’s life would be so tough after he passed on, would he have regretted his decision?

Shen Yan listened quietly. It seemed that the old village chief was here to speak for the good of Emily.

“Why don’t we go inside and have a chat?” Shen Yan stretched out his hand and invited him in.

The old village chief looked at the head of the Shen family in front of him. He had it all. Money, status, you name it. Yet, he was able to do something like this for Emily. It wasn’t difficult to see that he was a very well-mannered person.

With Little Emi being adopted by such a family, he could be at ease.

The old village chief had just sat down when someone brought tea over. It was apparent that Shen Yan would not mistreat himself wherever he went.

The villager whose house Shen Yan had stayed at did not expect the old village chief to come. Seeing the old village chief come in, she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
