"Preposterous!" Elder Shen flared up instantly. A man as clever as him of course knew what Tong Yan was insinuating. Tong Yan's words suggested that there was a salacious relationship between him and Xinghe. Xinghe was his junior; Chinese society deeply valued the familial hierarchy, so such an accusation could ruin his name and life.
However, Tong Yan didn't seem like she was going to stop anytime soon. "If not, how can she easily manipulate our family relationship? Grandfather, even if I am not really your biological granddaughter, Xia Xinghe is even less related to you than I am. How can you abandon us for her? Grandfather, in your heart, are we really less important than this Xia Xinghe?"
