I was just worried you might feel guilty. Shawn is fine as he is now. As the family\u2019s successor, he needs to face some hardships and setbacks to grow and become more stable.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAunt Rachel did all that for his own good. It\u2019s actually beneficial that he was sent away to train. What reason do I have to feel guilty?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity sat at the counter and pulled out her phone. \u201cI\u2019ll let my man know about this to prevent any jealousy or misunderstandings.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>It was better to inform Zachary directly than for him to hear it from the bodyguards.<\/div>\n<div>Given Zachary\u2019s personality, he would likely become jealous if he learned from his bodyguards that she had met Shawn.<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine headed into the kitchen.<\/div>\n<div>After a short time, she returned with a plate of grapes and placed it on the counter, saying, \u201cShawn bought these\u2014seedless grapes, just like we usually eat.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo, what\u2019s the verdict? Was your dad your grandparents\u2019 biological son?\u201d Jasmine asked with concern as she took a seat.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes. The DNA test I took with my granddad confirmed that we\u2019re biologically related. After I showed the report to John and the others, they finally calmed down and stopped causing a fuss.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe resolved the issue through negotiation.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity picked up a bunch of grapes and popped one into her mouth. \u201cThese grapes are deliciously sweet.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Seeing Serenity in high spirits, Jasmine smiled. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful that you\u2019ve sorted things out. You won\u2019t have to deal with them in the future.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe\u2019re going back tomorrow to sign a new agreement with them. I\u2019ll give them the money once they transfer the title deed of the house to my sister.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDid you buy their share of the land?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity nodded. \u201cYes, the\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The solution they proposed was either for us to buy their shares or for them to buy ours. My grandparents don\u2019t have much money left, so it would be quite costly if they decided to purchase our shares. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has several sons and grandchildren, but none of them are willing to pay. He was so angry that he insisted we buy his share instead, claiming they would keep the money for their retirement. They will continue living in the house, but his children will cover the rent and utilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t want to argue over details like this, but since they attempted to take advantage of us, I had no choice. It\u2019s not as if my dad was his only son; he has four sons. Even though my dad is no longer here, he still has three brothers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn rural areas, each family typically pays for their parents\u2019 expenses or takes turns living with and caring for them while the elders are still alive. They can\u2019t just live in my house for free, right? That\u2019s why I asked for compensation. I don\u2019t need the money; I just don\u2019t want to be taken advantage of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine said, \u201cYou did the right thing. They only know how to exploit others for their own benefit, but when it comes time for them to face old age, they shift the responsibility onto your family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn said he wanted his share of our granddad\u2019s assets but had nothing to do with Granddad\u2019s care in retirement. He argued that while Granddad gave birth to his dad, he didn\u2019t give birth to him, so caring for Granddad in his old age was not his responsibility. The old man was furious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Serenity believed Old Mr. Hunt was finally facing the consequences of his actions, she felt neither happy nor satisfied. Instead, she felt pity for her parents.<\/p>\n<p>Her parents were extremely devoted to their own parents while they were alive, yet the more filial her dad was, the less her grandfather appreciated him. Even after her dad passed away, he continued to be mistreated by his own parents.<\/p>\n<div>Jasmine paused. \u201cIsn\u2019t John your granddad\u2019s favorite? He used to earn an annual salary of a million dollars while working at Elisa\u2019s company. Elisa caused him to lose his job, and honestly, he deserved it. Someone like him shouldn\u2019t be living well.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOld Mr. Hunt fought for my family\u2019s property because he wanted to leave everything to John, so John\u2019s comments really angered him. That\u2019s why he quickly agreed to the solution we proposed.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity sensed that her granddad\u2019s rapid compromise was largely influenced by the hurt he felt from his sons and grandsons\u2019 attitudes.<\/div>\n<div>Regardless, the issue with the house was settled.<\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1220 Jasmine rubbed her forehead and said, \u201cI know you never loved Shawn.
