Chapter 74 Return to the Millennium to Torture Phoenix Man 17 Visit

But now Fu Xiangrong couldn't do anything about it and could only worry.

However, there was one thing she could do. That day, she came to Chen Shifeng's house again. Her eldest brother was not at home, and only her mother-in-law was at home.

When Wang Guixiu saw that it was her second daughter-in-law who came, she was so upset that she had no place to vent.

"This Chen Qian is such an ungrateful person! She even dared to bring the child back to her parents' home. If she has the guts to go back, then don't come back! Is she trying to sever ties with us? Pah! How have I been bad to her? The food, drinks, and shelter she has are all from our family..."

At this moment, Wang Guixiu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, chattering non-stop, her voice was sharp and piercing, and she kept scolding, "What an ungrateful guy, if it weren't for our Shifeng, who worked hard all day to run this family and helped the Shen family do so many things, my son would have had it easy! Humph, if it weren't for Shifeng, the Shen family would have been gone long ago, and she still has the chance to show off in front of me! It really makes me so angry, Xiangrong, please judge, is Shen Qian crazy?"

As Fu Xiangrong walked over, she noticed that usually there were servants serving at all times in this house. After Chen Qian left, the whole house seemed to be much emptier, and the servants had disappeared long ago.

That’s right, it seems that the servants were brought by Shen Qian from the Shen family. Once she left, the people below definitely didn’t want to work and started to slack off.

At this time, mother-in-law Wang Guixiu was cursing and slapping her thighs, with the corners of her mouth almost turned up, and her face was full of anger and unwillingness.

In fact, Fu Xiangrong felt that this mother-in-law was quite extreme. She lived in the villa given by the Shen family, enjoyed the service of servants sent by the Shen family, and her son became the general manager of the Shen family. She also solved the jobs of her second son and third daughter. However, she kept saying that Shen Qian "ate and lived in her house", and no one knew where she got the idea from.

However, Fu Xiangrong naturally wouldn't disobey her mother-in-law. After sitting down on the sofa next to her, she also whispered in agreement: "Yeah, why is Chen Qian so confused? It's also Shifeng's fault. He has spoiled her over the years. Unlike our Shiming, he only knows how to busy himself with his own affairs all day long and never pays attention to the family."

When this was mentioned, Wang Guixiu's voice became even louder: "Yes, it's because Shifeng was too good to her! That's what allowed him to do so!"

Wang Guixiu put her hands on her hips and started cursing again.

Fu Xiangrong waited until her mother-in-law had almost vented her anger before she changed the subject and said, "But Mom, you have to think it over carefully. If Chen Qian doesn't come home, it might not be good..."

Wang Guixiu's eyes bulged: "What's wrong with that? If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Who cares? Humph!"

"Hey, Mom, think about it carefully. Shifeng and Shiming's careers are all supported by the Shen family. Now that the eldest brother has become the general manager of the Shen family, this guy may have secured his position. But if these two really quarrel, do you think Shen Qian's father will not be suspicious? If they fall out, do you think Shen Qian's father will still give the position of manager to Chen Shifeng?"

Wang Guixiu had never thought about this before, and her mind was a little confused: "Didn't Shen Shiguo say that he had no other choice? If he doesn't hand over the Shen's Restaurant to Chen Shifeng, who else can he hand it over to? Could it be that he hands it over to Shen Qian? She can't take over this business."

Fu Xiangrong: "Oh, Mom, think about it, why did Shen Shiguo hand over the Shen family business to Chen Shifeng? Isn't it because he is his son-in-law and he can be trusted? If the two quarreled and finally got divorced, do you think Shen Shiguo would still do this?"

In fact, Fu Xiangrong didn't really want to reconcile, but she felt that there must be no problems in their marriage before Shen Shiguo died, otherwise the Shen family's property would not fall into her hands.

Wang Guixiu was not stupid. She understood the meaning of her second daughter-in-law's words immediately. She had been so angry these past two days that she had forgotten about it. If the two really divorced, who would Shen Shiguo side with? It was clear that he would definitely not side with his own son.

"Yes, you are right about this. I have to talk to Shifeng and ask him to go to the Shen family and bring Shen Qian and Zhizhi back. If there are any problems, they should be solved behind closed doors. We can't let everyone in the Shen family know about it." Wang Guixiu quickly made a plan in her mind.

She didn't care whether the couple's relationship was really good or not. What she wanted was to keep her son's position, this big villa, and her own wealthy life.

But she was still angry in her heart, and gritted her teeth and said, "It's really hateful. Isn't this taking advantage of Chen Qian?"

"Okay, Mom. I'll persuade my sister-in-law privately later and ask her to admit her mistake to you. Then this matter will be over."

Wang Guixiu still looked unhappy, but she stopped making a fuss.

The next day, Chen Shifeng visited his father-in-law's house with gifts.

Shen Shiguo had just returned from a walk and was sitting in the garden, enjoying the river view while leisurely sipping a cup of West Lake Longjing tea before the rain.

"Dad, I know you like drinking tea. I brought this specially for you." Chen Shifeng smiled and placed two gift boxes of tea on the table in front of Shen Shiguo.

Shen Shiguo knew at a glance that this kind of tea was sold outside specifically to people who needed to give gifts. The outer packaging was very exquisite, but the tea inside was hard to describe.

Shen Shiguo remained calm and just glanced at Chen Shifeng.

Chen Shifeng said, "Dad, I've been busy with work these days and haven't been able to catch up. I thought I'd come to see you today. Are you feeling well?"

Shen Shiguo raised his eyebrows slightly, with a questioning look in his eyes: "There's nothing wrong with my health. Are you here to see me?"

Chen Shifeng was startled, then quickly smiled and said, "Of course not... It's like this, as you know, Qianqian and I had a fight a few days ago, and she ran back to her parents' home in anger. I was afraid that you and mom would misunderstand, so I took the time to come here today and wanted to explain to you face to face."

Shen Shiguo glanced at the tea leaves on the table and suddenly had a feeling that this son-in-law was just like this box of tea leaves, with beautiful packaging on the outside, but it was hard to say what was inside.

After he had a quarrel with Chen Qian, Qian Qian took her daughter back to her parents' home and has been living there for more than ten days. During this period, he ignored her and her mother. Today, he finally came to her house, but he deliberately chose a time when his wife and daughter were not at home.

Although Shen Shiguo is old, he is also a shrewd man who has been struggling in society for many years. Before, Chen Shifeng pretended to be relatively honest in front of him, and there was no conflict between him and Shen Qian. He looked at him coldly. Although this son-in-law had many minor problems, he was still the man chosen by his daughter and the father of his granddaughter. Although he was not particularly ideal, he could be regarded as a qualified heir.

It's just that now, when conflicts arise between the two, many things that were previously covered up gradually emerge.

Shen Shiguo could tell at a glance that Chen Shifeng came today for his father-in-law, the actual person in charge of Shen's restaurant, and he subconsciously blurted out that he was worried about the misunderstanding of them as parents, instead of seeking forgiveness from his wife and coaxing her back home.

Shen Shiguo frowned, very dissatisfied with Chen Shifeng's attitude.

"Really? What have you been busy with lately?"

Chen Shifeng saw that his father-in-law looked unhappy and felt a little suspicious. He quickly said, "The company has been busy lately and we are in talks with several suppliers."

Shen Shiguo picked up the teacup and blew away the tea leaves. Recently, Chen Shifeng had indeed been making trouble for the food supplier. His subordinates in the company had told him about these things. This also made Shen Shiguo somewhat doubtful about Chen Shifeng's ability to do things. He did not discuss with him before changing the supplier. This was nothing. After all, he was the head of the company now, and it was also a way of training for him to decide everything on his own.

However, based on the information reported by his servants, Shen Shiguo discovered that Chen Shifeng had a characteristic: he always liked to save some money. It was not difficult to guess his choice between the two suppliers: he would definitely choose the one with the lower bid.

So he replaced many of Shen's Restaurant's previous seafood suppliers because of the high purchasing costs.

Although the cost has indeed dropped a bit, Shen Shiguo seriously suspects that the quality of seafood has also declined a lot.

In the food business, after so many years of cooperation, the quotations have become very transparent. You get what you pay for. It is impossible for merchants who quote low prices not to make money. The wool comes from the sheep, and eventually the quality of the food will decline, and the reputation of Shen's Restaurant will also be affected.

However, Shen Shiguo had mentioned this issue to Chen Shifeng repeatedly before, but he seemed to be deaf to the question and continued to do as he pleased.

Being short-sighted and only focusing on immediate interests, Shen Shiguo had no choice but to label Chen Shifeng in his heart.

But today's matter is not the point. He wants to have a good chat with his son-in-law about their life as a couple.

As Shen Qian's father, Shen Shiguo actually didn't want to see his daughter's marriage break up like this. He felt that even if the two wanted to divorce, they should make everything clear.

"Are you here today to discuss business or personal matters?" Shen Shiguo decided to give his son-in-law some advice.

"Of course we're talking about family matters." Chen Shifeng quickly expressed his opinion: "Dad, is Qianqian home? Is she still angry? She just has a stubborn temper. I came here today just to coax her and let her go home."

Shen Shiguo looked at Chen Shifeng: "You coaxed your wife to come home, but you chose a time when she is not at home to come over. Do you want to talk to me?"

Chen Shifeng's heart tightened. This sentence seemed a little wrong, but he quickly calmed down: "Dad, you are the elder, Qianqian has always listened to you. I want to make it clear to you first. After all, the matter between me and her should not affect the operation of the company, don't you think..."

Shen Shiguo frowned even more. He didn't like what he heard. He put down his teacup and looked at the man in front of him with sharp eyes. His tone was still unhurried: "What about Zhizhi? You haven't seen her for several days. Have you ever thought about how she is now? Will she be unable to adapt to the sudden change of living environment?"
