"You…" Elder Shen was speechless from sheer anger.
Chui Ying had been attacking him from the role of the victim, so almost everyone was on their side. No matter how unreasonable Chui Ying's demand was, they feel it was justified. If anything, they felt the Shen family was being unreasonable. They all felt Elder Shen shouldn't have treated Shen Ru and Tong Yan so unfairly. His preferential treatment did rub many the wrong way.
This was Chui Ying's plan all along. They managed to take revenge against Xinghe and Elder Shen while having the support of the crowd. Elder Shen wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't.
Witnessing his frustration and anger made Shen Ru and Tong Yan felt great within. At the same time, their resentment against him deepened. How could he be so cruel to cut ties from them but be so unwilling to do the same to Xia Xinghe?
This preferential treatment made Shen Ru and Tong Yan grit their teeth in anger.
