However, his resolve was crumbling when they came to beg him like this. After all, decades of family memories couldn't be removed just like that. Elder Shen was fair to the public, but he always had a soft spot when it came to his family.
Shen Ru and Tong Yan were not his blood kin, but he had been with them for decades, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't attached to them in some ways. Furthermore, some time had passed since the incident. Combined with Tong Yan's effort to endear to him, his heart softened even more.
Elder Shen knew deep down he couldn't really cut them off from his life. He was willing to sacrifice his whole life for Tong Yan before when he allowed her to marry Lin Xuan, so it went without saying that he cared for her.
Elder Shen looked at Tong Yan and said, "Little Yan, if you really have learnt your lesson, then Grandpa doesn't mind taking you back, but there is one thing you have to be clear about, I will never forgive the Lin family."
