Ana Shen was a little worried, “Shall I call and ask the driver?”

Before he finished speaking, someone from Han Xu's side whispered, "Teacher Han, Teacher Lin has arrived. I saw an actress ask for his cell phone number. Look, it's right there..."

There was a suspicious silence in the air for a moment.

Han Xu must have seen Lin Zhiyi and was so angry he gnashed his teeth: "He didn't answer the phone, but he attracts bees and butterflies faster than anyone else!"

The assistant was obviously used to the drama between him and Lin Zhiyi and asked, "Should we ask Teacher Lin to come over?"

"I don't want to see him right now."

After the false alarm, Han Xu sneered.

After he finished speaking, he remembered that there were two people on the other end of the phone and coughed: "It's okay now, I'm hanging up."

Judging from Han Xu's tone, he is actually a little worried about Lin Zhiyi, but there seems to be some conflict between them.

Shen Yinan didn’t ask any more questions.

A week later, Shen Hua was discharged from the hospital.

When Shen Yinan went to pick it up, he saw Shen Zhongcheng standing in the corridor smoking with a sullen face, his brows knotted, and he looked annoyed.

The hospital has a no-smoking policy, but the director was not there, so the nurse didn't dare to say anything. She could only pretend nothing was wrong and go aside.

When Shen Yinan entered the ward, Shen Hua had just finished drinking the medicine and put the glass heavily on the table.

It's rare to see Shen Hua with such a gloomy expression.

The coffee table in the room was kicked over, and the vase fell to the ground in pieces, creating a mess.

Considering Shen Zhongcheng's appearance just now, it was estimated that the mother and son had just had an argument.

Shen Yinan walked over, sat beside her, and stretched out his hand to smooth her back.

Seeing that it was Shen Yinan, Shen Hua’s expression eased: “Nannan, you are here.”

“Well, I just passed by the old neighborhood and bought you some mung bean cakes.” Shen Yinan held his grandmother’s hand and said, “In the car.”

"You still love grandma and remember what she likes to eat." Shen Hua smiled and pinched the tip of his nose.

"Mom, let's go." Someone called at the door.

Shen Yinan looked up and met Bai Xiuli’s gaze, and the smile on his face faded a little.

"Xiu Li, you go back first. I'll take Yinan's bus."

Shen Yinan lowered his head, pretending that he was not familiar with Bai Xiuli.

Bai Xiuli frowned, but because of Shen Hua's presence, she only said: "Then I will leave first, remember to let the bodyguard follow."

After she left, Shen Yinan helped Shen Hua out of the ward.

Shen Zhongcheng hadn't left yet. When he saw the two of them leaving, he quickly reached out to help them, but was pushed away by Shen Hua.

“Mom…” Shen Zhongcheng’s expression was not very good.

Chen Hua said coldly: "So you still know that I am your mother! You——"

Halfway through her words, she glanced at Shen Yinan, and finally held back her words, suppressing her anger and saying, “Go away, I don’t want to see you now.”

After saying that, without giving Shen Zhongcheng a chance to pester him again, he grabbed Shen Yinan’s hand and left.

After getting in the car, although Shen Hua comforted Shen Yinan a few words, his face still did not improve.

In Shen Yinan's impression, Shen Hua had never lost control of his emotions like this before.

He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only hold Shen Hua's hand.

Chen Hua looked out the window and sighed heavily: "What a sin..."

She rubbed her brows, and after a while, she suddenly asked, "Nannan, grandma wants to hand over the company to you in the future. What do you think?"

It’s not like Shen Hua hasn’t said something similar before.

But this is the first time it has been put forward so clearly.

Shen Yinan thought about it and said, “If grandma wants to give it to me, I will work hard.”

Shen Hua held her grandson's hand, her eyes reddened at some point: "At your age, you should be enjoying your youth, but you have to suffer so much... Grandma is sorry for you."

"But Hongyu is my life's work. Apart from you, I don't know who else to entrust him to."

Shen Hua was heartbroken: "Your father... I can't rely on him anymore. It's my fault for not taking good care of him."

She supported her head and slowly told what had happened to her over the years.

Shen Hua is the only daughter in the family, and the Shen family was already on the verge of collapse when it came into her hands.

She was busy with business and lost her husband when she was in her thirties. She had no time to feel sad before she plunged into the business world.

Shen Zhongcheng could only be handed over to the elders at home for discipline. When the company was thriving, she came back to take charge, but Shen Zhongcheng had already become a playboy.

After much difficulty, he finally found a wife of equal status for Shen Hua to marry.

Originally, Shen Zhongcheng and Bai Xiuli had been in love for a period of time. Shen Zhongcheng was adept at love affairs, and all kinds of romantic methods emerged one after another.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long before Bai Xiuli's due date, the mistress came to her house. Bai Xiuli was also a young lady, so how could she bear such an insult? She almost had a difficult delivery.

"I personally went there that day. Your mother gave birth to you from the afternoon until the early morning." Shen Hua sighed, "When you were lost, she searched the hospital barefoot for the entire day without eating or drinking."

Shen Yinan’s eyes flickered slightly.

He didn't know this, no one had ever told him this.

But even if I knew it, nothing would change except that I felt more depressed.

They, mother and son, have reached the point where they are tired of seeing each other.

He whispered, "But...she doesn't love me anymore."

People change. He hated Bai Xiuli's bad attitude towards him, but he could not deny that she was his biological mother.

Chen Hua said: "Grandma is not asking you to forgive your mother, I just hope you don't hate her, even if you don't see her in the future, don't hate her, because if you hate her too much, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

"……Um."

Ana Shen nodded.

He knew that Shen Hua was afraid that he would care too much about Bai Xiuli, but he actually didn't care anymore.

He had already let go of many things.

*

After leaving Shen's house, Shen Yinan did not go home, but drove to the beach.

Xue Du went out for a social event today and he didn't want to go back to the villa now.

How can an empty place be considered a home?

He didn't know how to describe his current mood.

First, Shen Hua suddenly said that he would hand over the company to himself without Shen Zhongcheng, and then he learned that Bai Xiuli had once loved him and was looking forward to his arrival.

With so many things pressing on him, he felt a splitting headache.

In his mind, there was Shen Hua's expectant face, Bai Xiuli's sarcasm towards him, and Shen Zhongcheng's exasperated voice...

Sometimes life is so magical and dramatic that it doesn't give people any chance to breathe or react.

Shen Yinan went to a nearby supermarket to buy a few bottles of beer and found a step to sit down.

When he opened the first bottle of beer, he realized that he was sitting in the same place where Xue Du had taken him to watch the fireworks not long ago.

Then he thought that he had not told Xue Du that he was here.

He was afraid that Xue Du would worry, so he called him.

The first call didn't go through.

Shen Yinan thought the other party was busy now, so he drank a few sips of beer, replied to Chi Xingyao's message, and then made another call.

This time, the call was connected quickly.

But it was not Xue Du who answered the phone.

A timid young man spoke from the other side: "Hello... May I ask who you are? Are you looking for Mr. Xue?"
