After some time, Uncle Zhong, who was outside, said.

Accompanied by the “click-clack” sound of high heels, a lady dressed in designer’s clothing walked slowly to the entrance of the room. She first took a look inside the room before stepping in, an ambiguous expression on her well-maintained face.

“Shaobai, look at what you have become?!”

The lady who spoke was the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family—Tang Yue, Shen Shaobai’s mother.

At that point in time, she was frowning her delicate looking eyebrows; it was clear that she was unhappy with her son using the wheelchair.

Although he lost his sight, his legs were fine. He used the wheelchair all the time, what exactly was going on?

While she spoke, she looked around the room with a look of disgust on her face. If it was not for the opened door, the room was basically pitch black. How could someone live in such an environment!

However, the person living here was her son.

In the past, her son was dazzling. As the inheritor of the Shen Family, no one in the world could outshine him!

However, right now, he was behaving like a powerless figure.

How could she allow that!

Till now, the perpetrator who started the fire had yet to be caught.

As of now, she was most troubled by his refusal to accept treatment and his self-initiated isolation. This had caused him to be the laughing stock of the other Shen Family’s members, who were all preying on the inheritor position.

“Shaobai, I am not trying to nag at you, but you must know that if you continue to live in this state, you will lose your position as the inheritor!”

Tang Yue massaged her head in frustration looking at the silent Shen Shaobai.

Shen Shaobai sat there quietly, not responding to anything.

Although Tang Yue was exasperated, she could not really get angry.

As she thought about the reason for her visit, she asked in a tentative tone, “I heard that you brought a woman home yesterday?”

Ever since Tong Hua left him, Shen Shaobai lost all interest in women.

In the last four years, she collected so much information on the daughters of prestigious families yet he was not moved by any!

Shen Shaobai’s current health condition had rendered him incapable of inheriting the Shen Family, but no one should take advantage of this fact and make him lose his status as the inheritor. Hence, Tang Yue thought of an idea. That was, to choose a suitable wife for him who could bear him a son to preserve the status of the inheritor.

“I have already done my research on Xia Weiai’s family background. She doesn’t even qualify as your mistress! I can allow you to play around with her, but I will not allow her to be impregnated with the child of the Shen Family.”

Tang Yue made her conclusion without considering Shen Shaobai’s opinions.

To what she said, Shen Shaobai gave a tiny laugh and finally spoke, “Mother, what kind of woman, then, is qualified to be impregnated with the child of the Shen Family?”

Tang Yue was stunned. He was never bothered by issues like this, what was the cause of his sudden interest? However, no matter what, this was a good sign!

She was glad and pulled out some folders with information from the designer’s bag she always carried around.

“Of course, these ladies are! They are all from wealthy families. Although they still do not match up to the Shen Family, they would still make a good match for you! I have looked through the information for you. They are good-looking and have a gentle temperament. As long as you are willing to, you can pick one from these. I assure you that you will be contented!”

Shen Shaobai listened with a dull expression on his face, his eyes radiating sarcasm. His mother had indeed made “meticulous” arrangements for him!

Very quickly, he raised a hand and Tang Yue immediately handed over the folder to him.

“So I see.”

Shen Shaobai replied in a dull tone. Due to his loss of sight, he did not look through the information.

Soon, in Tang Yue’s excitement, he said indifferently, “These are not enough, they are far from enough! Why don’t we conduct a banquet and invite all the daughters of prestigious families who are willing to marry into the Shen Family? Amongst them all, I will then make an appropriate choice for marriage.”

“This…”

“Mother, unless you want me to marry someone that I am not fond of?”

While Tang Yue hesitated, Shen Shaobai said.

“Why would I… Of course, I wish for your happiness…”

“In this case, you can make the arrangements! When the time comes, I will choose a suitable wife so that we can bear you a grandson.”

Shen Shaobai replied firmly with his personal choice.

As for Tang Yue, upon hearing “bear you a grandson”, she had no more objections.

“Wait for me, I will make the arrangements now!”

Tang Yue was satisfied as she had accomplished her aim. Accompanied by the “click-clack” of her high heels, she left in a hurry.

“Young Master, are you sure about this?”

Shi Mei asked worriedly as Tang Yue left.

However, he did not reply. As he thought of something, the ends of his lips upturned. “Let’s go to the dark room.”

He wanted to know, at this point in time, whether he was the pitiful one… or she was the pitiful one!
