Chapter 738 She wants me to marry her?

Shen Congyao is over sixty years old this year.

Many people his age have already retired from the business world, handed over their family businesses to the younger generation, and are enjoying their retirement.

Shen Congyao has three sons, but he is still working hard for the family business, spending his days juggling various social engagements and projects.

Although he was only in his fifties, his temples were already covered with many white hairs, making him look much older.

But in Shen Boyan's eyes, Shen Congyao had never changed.

As selfish and stubborn as ever.

"Boyan is back."

Shen Congyao spoke as he went downstairs.

His tone was as simple as if he were asking Shen Boyan what he had for lunch that day.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not the son who had severed ties with him and run away from home for several years.

Shen Boyan clenched his fists, his chest filled with a mix of emotions that seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.

"dad."

Shen Zhongting took off his coat, handed it to the maid, and then greeted Shen Congyao.

Shen Congyao came down, stared at Shen Boyan for a few seconds, and then looked at Shen Zhongting, "It's good that you're back. Let's eat."

The meal was already prepared, and the three of them had just sat down when the servant's voice sounded from the doorway.

"The Third Young Master is back."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jilan rushed in, shouting, "Second Brother, you're back!"

Without saying a word, Shen Jilan hugged Shen Boyan tightly.

It was his elder brother who had the ability to call Shen Boyan back.

"What kind of behavior is this!" Shen Congyao scolded Shen Jilan in dissatisfaction.

Shen Jilan wasn't afraid of him at all.

Because he had already promised him that once Shen Boyan returned, he would no longer care about him.

He can finally get rid of that awful economics and do what he wants to do.

The dishes were almost all served, and the servants tactfully withdrew.

Shen Congyao picked up his chopsticks and put some food on Shen Boyan's plate. "Here, Boyan, have a taste. I remember I used to love fish balls the most."

Shen Boyan glanced at the food that he had put on his plate and said calmly, "You're mistaken, I'm allergic to fish."

Shen Jilan looked at Shen Boyan in astonishment.

Although Shen Boyan has been away from home for many years, he remembers very clearly that Shen Boyan used to really like eating fish!

Just as Shen Jilan was about to speak, she was stopped by a look from the older brother sitting opposite her.

Shen Jitao glanced at Shen Congyao, then looked at Shen Boyan, and suddenly realized that he was not the main character at this meal.

He simply kept a low profile and ate his meal in silence.

Shen Congyao knew that Shen Boyan was doing it on purpose, but he did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he looked very calm.

"You haven't been back for so many years, I've almost forgotten what you like to eat."

Shen Boyan had no interest in putting on a show of fatherly affection with Shen Congyao.

His gaze was fixed on Shen Congyao. "Just tell me straight, what do you want me to come back for?"

Shen Congyao calmly said, "Let's eat first."

Shen Boyan suddenly stood up, nearly tipping the chair over with his movement.

Shen Jilan was startled by his sudden action, and hadn't even had time to swallow what was in her mouth.

Shen Boyan turned and left.

Shen Congyao slowly put down his chopsticks and finally spoke just as Shen Boyan was about to reach the door.

“If you step out of this house today, I guarantee that your little company in Chongqing will go bankrupt tomorrow.”

Shen Boyan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned around, his eyes fixed on Shen Congyao.

Shen Zhong frowned slightly. "Dad, you promised me you wouldn't touch Boyan's company."

Shen Congyao was unaware that Shen Boyan liked Qiao Xing.

Shen Zhongting said that out of desperation, thinking that he should let Shen Boyan return to the capital first.

He hadn't considered that he would actually do anything to Qiao Xing, nor did he intend to tell Shen Congyao about it.

Before going to find Shen Boyan, Shen Zhongting told Shen Congyao that he would use his own methods to bring Shen Boyan back, but Shen Congyao must not threaten him with things that Shen Boyan cares about.

For example, his company.

But at this moment, Shen Congyao has clearly gone back on his word.

Shen Boyan scoffed coldly, standing still and staring intently at Shen Congyao.

"You are more shameless than I imagined."

Shen Congyao remained unmoved. "Can we sit down and eat now?"

For a fleeting moment, Shen Boyan wanted to turn around and leave.

But he had no right to be willful in front of Shen Congyao.

The Big Bad Wolf was his brainchild, but it wasn't just his brainchild.

Shen Boyan gritted his teeth and stood there for a while before walking step by step back to the dining table and sitting down.

Shen Zhong was somewhat dissatisfied with what Shen Congyao had just said.

"Dad, since you've already made up your mind, why make Xiaolan and me go on this trip?"

Shen Jilan also wanted to know.

He even fabricated a story that he was critically ill, trying to make Shen Boyan believe it.

But what's the use?

Isn't this just a case of people being bored and having nothing better to do?

Although Shen Congyao's words were in response to Shen Zhongting, his gaze remained fixed on Shen Boyan. "I gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it."

He thought that if Shen Boyao had been willing to come back from the beginning, Shen Congyao wouldn't have touched his company or his friends there.

Even when he later asked Shen Zhongting to go find him, it was still giving him a chance.

He wanted Shen Boyan to realize that no matter how much he resisted, he would never have a choice with him.

All he needed to do was obey.

The meal ended in a very strange atmosphere.

Shen Jilan ran away as soon as he finished eating. He didn't know why Shen Congyao insisted on bringing Shen Boyan back, but he knew it couldn't be anything good.

With his second brother's temper, he might even get into a fight with his father.

He'd better stay far away.

Shen Boyan was summoned to the study by Shen Congyao.

Shen Zhong knew that from the moment Shen Congyao mentioned Shen Boyan's company, Shen Boyan had no choice.

They had always felt that Shen Jilan was a sacrifice between him and Shen Bo.

But now that I think about it, it was Shen Boyan who was right.

If he hadn't insisted on going abroad to get married and have children, and if Shen Jilan hadn't been so young, perhaps it would have been him or Shen Jilan who were summoned to Shen Congyao's study today.

In the study, Shen Congyao took a photograph out of the drawer.

The photo shows a pretty girl with delicate features, wearing a white shirt, her hair in a ponytail, and a bright smile.

"Her name is Sheng Yao. She is the only granddaughter of Old Master Sheng. The Sheng family, like the Qin family, is considered a large family in Beijing."

Shen Boyan glanced at the girl in the photo. "You want me to marry her?"
