Chen Guiwu's fingertips carefully explored Sheng Wu's delicate jade hands, raised his head and smiled at her, "If you are willing to take over the Shen family's account book affairs, I will ask Butler Zhang to sort them out. If you are not in the mood, then forget it."

Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows and winked playfully, "How about we let Butler Zhang come? What if I, a half-baked guy, squander all your money?"

Chen Guiwu was amused by her and laughed. He waved his hand and asked the three of them to go down first, then took Sheng Wu by the hand and walked her around various places in the Shen family to familiarize her with them.

"It's okay. I have a lot of money. If you can squander it all, that will be an incentive for me to make more money. My money is for you to spend. You can do whatever you want."

Sheng Wu smiled and thought it was just pillow talk to coax a woman.

Chen Guiwu took Sheng Wu back to the main courtyard and asked Butler Zhang to get something, while he took Sheng Wu by the hand and sat down in the study.

"You don't have to go back to the Chamber of Commerce?"

Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows when she saw that he had no intention of leaving.

Chen Guiwu, who was as graceful as a Clivia, raised his head slightly after hearing these words. His excellent and smooth jawline was particularly obvious, and his calm eyes were slightly soft under the silver retro glasses.

"No, you've had such a big shock today, I should stay with you."

Sheng Wu sat at the desk, while he leaned against the chair, reached out and gently stroked her soft hair, his voice low and slow.

"By the way, I'll tell you about some of the Shen family's businesses. Although you don't want to manage them... I still hope that after I'm buried, you can live a good life with this business."

“?!” Are you starting to arrange your funeral arrangements now?

Sheng Wudai raised her eyebrows and looked up at the man in surprise.

Although she inexplicably felt like laughing as she put herself in the shoes of an old man and his young wife inheriting the family fortune, she still opened her lips and finally suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to rise, looking worried and angry.

"What are you talking about? You're only in your forties. At worst, you still have another twenty or thirty years to live. There's no need to worry about something like this so soon."

"Besides, don't you have two sons and a daughter? The Shen family should be managed by them." Tsk tsk, my rich old baby who is about to be buried.

That's right. She was a stepmother who married into the family at a young age. If Chen Guiwu really died, she might not get a penny of the family property.

The girl's charming face was filled with playful eyes and affection. Chen Guiwu raised his lips slightly, and looked at her with a hint of doting in his gentle eyes.

He didn't explain her words in detail, but his fingertips slid down from her head to the tip of her ear with restraint and forbearance, and stroked her round earlobe without earrings.

"Awu, do you want me to live that long?"

Sheng Wu pretended to be angry and gently bumped his arms with her arm.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll ignore you!"

As she spoke, her cherry lips were pursed into a line, and she looked a little angry.

Seeing this, Shen Guiwu smiled and bent down, coaxing the girl gently, "Okay, I know I was wrong, Mrs. Shen, please don't bother with me. Being angry will hurt your body."

"If you say something unlucky like that again, I will really ignore you for three days."

"Okay... three days, no more."

The man in a long gown wearing retro glasses with a silver chain half-bent over from the side, gently embraced the cheongsam girl in his arms and coaxed her. The picture was extremely warm and beautiful.

soon.

Butler Zhang brought over the Shen family's account book, and Shen Guiwu began to introduce it to Sheng Wu seriously.

"The Shen family's ancestors were imperial merchants, primarily engaged in grain business. Later, they gradually declined. When I first took over the Shen family in the early years of the Republic of China, they were heavily in debt. Fortunately, they have since made a comeback. From being a grain merchant, they now involve textiles, traditional Chinese medicine, and some military manufacturing. However, the military manufacturing business is not open to the outside world, and we only have dealings with a few domestic forces."

"The Republic of China is now divided into several factions, large and small. Marshal Zhang of the Sijiu City is the most powerful, followed by the bandits in the northern provinces and the southwest. The Shen family adheres to the principle that as long as there is money, they will sell. However, they will never buy invaders or traitors. This is one of the reasons why the Shen family can remain safe amidst the turmoil..."

The more Sheng Wu listened, the more suspicious she became about the deep meaning in Wen Liang's eyes.

If Chen Guiwu only had feelings for the original owner Sheng Wu, it would not be enough for him to do what he is doing now, subtly handing over the power of the Shen family to her, analyzing the domestic situation for her, and even telling her about the Shen family's private and key transactions!

Could it be that the original owner had some other identity, or had some kind of deal with Shen Guiwu?

But Chen Guiwu didn't say it clearly, so she didn't ask and just listened carefully.

Soon, the sun set over the mountain.

"Master, the second young master and the eldest young lady are back, and dinner has been arranged."

Chunxi walked in politely with her eyes lowered.

Hearing this, Chen Guiwu put down the account book he had been talking about, and frowned slightly.

"Where is Shen Junsheng?" His voice unconsciously became solemn and cold.

Chunxi lowered his head, "Young Master...he hasn't come back."

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the air dropped a few degrees.

Fortunately, Shen Guiwu did not lose his temper in front of Sheng Wu. He just took her hand and turned to explain to her.

"Zheliu and Qinghuan were both busy at school and didn't come back. You didn't meet when we got married. Now I wanted to call all three of them back for a family meal. Maybe Shen Junsheng is still busy with military affairs. The four of us will eat first, and we can call him back when he's free."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu raised her crimson lips and smiled softly, "Okay, I understand. Don't blame the child."

Well, she has naturally put herself into the role of Shen Junsheng's mother.

Although Chen Guiwu spoke nicely, she knew the real situation.

It is possible that Chen Zheliu and Shen Qinghuan who came back for dinner did not necessarily want to see him. The probability that they were forced to come back by Chen Guiwu was greater, and who knows, they might even try to intimidate him.

Seeing that she was considerate, Shen Guiwu's depression dissipated a little.

He took Sheng Wu's hand and led her to the hall.

"Don't be nervous, you're great. Zheliu and Qinghuan will both like you."

"Yeah." Sheng Wu smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

The two of them just walked to the hall, but before they entered, they heard a complaint.

"Tsk, only big brother is tough enough to say he won't come back. It's just the two of us who have to fight that woman alone." It was the young man's sad voice.

"If you have half the ability of big brother, you wouldn't be sitting here. If not, shut up and stop making noise!" A girl's voice was cold and lonely.

"Hey! Shen Qinghuan, you finally came back and you want to fight with me?"

"You can't beat me, brother!"

"Bullshit! Dad clearly said I came out ten seconds earlier than you! If I wasn't afraid of being punished by Dad, you'd be done for if I didn't beat you up!"
