Shen Fu walked out of the detention center.

The midday sun beat down on him, the blinding sunlight making his eyes sting.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight, feeling a long-lost sense of freedom.

Not far away, Shen Yurong parked his car on the side of the road.

He kept waving and shouting at Shen Fu, "Shen Fu! Over here, over here!!!"

...

Shen Yurong came specifically to pick up Shen Fu from prison.

Along the way, he rambled on about what had happened around Ning Wan and Ning Yanshu during Shen Fu's absence.

When Ning Yanshu heard that paint had been splashed on the door of the boxed lunch store and that reporters had surrounded her at the kindergarten, she was shocked.

He pressed his lips together tightly, his eyes seeming to be filled with icy coldness.

But then he heard that Ning Wan had used her intelligence to gradually turn the tide.

His gaze softened and became proud again...

...

The car drove slowly and steadily on the road.

What should have been a half-hour journey felt exceptionally long to Shen Fu.

The closer you get to Longshou Village, the more profound the feeling of being both near and apprehensive becomes.

Shen Fu remained silent and deep in thought throughout the journey.

Which direction should I kowtow in to win Ning Wan's forgiveness...?

...

Suddenly, Shen Yurong, in the driver's seat, asked Shen Fu, "Did you know that Shen Jiahao and Shen Xinxing were both taken to the police station for questioning?"

"Um."

"Shen Xinxing was taken in for questioning on suspicion of intentional homicide. Shen Jiahao was involved in the illegal mining and resale of river sand with Long Batian." Shen Yurong sighed, "These past few days, Shenhao Group has been in chaos. In order to protect themselves, everyone has chosen to sell their shares at low prices. I have 5% in my hands, and I am at a loss."

"I've said it before, you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Shen Fu inexplicably uttered those words again.

Shen Yurong was stunned for a full five minutes.

Finally, it belatedly dawned on me: "So, all this time, I was the one who wasn't protected?"

Shen Yurong had always found it strange that Shen Fu hadn't chosen to transfer the shares directly to his name.

Now, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that way.

In order to secure his position as president of Shenhao Group, Shen Jiahao used his first right of first refusal to acquire all the shares held by Shen Fu at a high price.

This money naturally came from Long Batian's sponsorship.

However, with the exposure of Shen Jiahao's scandal, the company's stock price plummeted to a new low.

Shen Fu could easily escape unscathed by selling the stocks, but his meager 5% stake is now probably worth less than 3 million.

"Shen Fu, you are absolutely cunning!!!"

...

The car finally drove into the residential area.

We drove up to the building downstairs very quickly.

Looking from afar, Shen Fu immediately spotted Ning Wan, Ning Yanshu, Shen Xu, and Chen Limin standing by the roadside waiting.

After the car came to a stop, Shen Fu couldn't wait to open the door and get out.

Ning Yanshu waved to him and ran towards him, calling out, "Dad!~"

Shen Fu bent down and easily picked him up.

He looked up and saw Ning Wan smiling at him from not far away.

My heart, which had been empty for so long, finally found fulfillment at this moment.

There was also a burning brazier on the ground at the entrance of the stairs.

It was exactly the same as what Grandma Chen had prepared when Ning Yanshu was discharged from the hospital.

Chen Fu lifted his foot and gently stepped over the brazier.

Ning Wan flicked the pomelo leaves, which were soaked in water, at Shen Fu.

Glistening water droplets sprinkled down, one after another, landing on Shen Fu's head and body.

Chen Fu took a deep breath.

You can also smell a few wisps of pomelo fragrance on the tip of your nose; it smells very pleasant.

Chen Limin asked Shen Fu, "Did you bring anything back from prison?"

Shen Fu shook his head.

"It's right not to bring it. Even if you do bring it back, burn it all." She instructed Shen Fu, "Take a bath with pomelo water later, and burn this set of clothes you're wearing later too."

He nodded in agreement.

Knowing that Ning Wan and Shen Fu still had much to talk about, Chen Limin and Shen Yurong wisely decided not to stay and disturb them.

When Shen Fu returned and finished showering, Ning Wan was sitting quietly on the sofa looking at her phone.

Ning Yanshu also stood beside the sofa with his head down.

Shen Fu swallowed hard and walked over.

Without the slightest hesitation, he knelt down with a thud: "Wanwan, I was wrong."

Upon seeing this, Ning Yanshu immediately realized what was happening.

She knelt down as well, saying, "Mom, I was wrong too."

Ning Wan ignored them and continued scrolling through her phone for a while.

Ten minutes later, Ning Yanshu's knees started to ache from kneeling.

He secretly looked up, intending to find a more comfortable kneeling position while Ning Wan wasn't looking.

But Ning Wan suddenly put her phone aside.

She crossed her arms and asked with great interest, "So, tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Shen Fu confessed his guilt in detail, saying, "I shouldn't have made the decision without consulting you. I was stubborn and self-righteous, causing you and Xiao Shu to worry about me and suffer because of me. I'm sorry..."

"Heh, you seem to know everything perfectly well." Ning Wan sneered.

"What I dislike most is when others use the guise of 'doing what's best for me' to hide things from me... Did you ask me? Did you consider my feelings? How do you know I definitely won't stand by your side and stand with you through thick and thin?"

Shen Fu understood why Ning Wan was angry.

He didn't rush to explain, but waited quietly for Ning Wan to finish venting her anger before slowly explaining, "It's precisely because I know this that I dare not tell you."
