Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 493 This Day Will Come Sooner or Later
She had someone download those posts, photos, and videos.
At the same time, we assigned someone to monitor the online trends, and deleted any content that mentioned her name.
After several attempts, there was less news about her online.
Privately, people are still discussing her, but to avoid being deleted or taken down, they all use the title "Boss S" instead.
Shen Xuewei opened Weibo and found that in just one night, she had received 999+ private messages.
There were onlookers, people urging her to write a book, people asking her for jobs, people begging her to take care of them, people wanting her to see their own brothers... and even people begging.
After casually flipping through a few pages, Shen Xuewei put her phone aside.
Just as I was about to deal with company matters, my phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Shen Xuewen.
When the call connected, it wasn't Shen Xuewen's voice that came through, but rather Shen Jiaying and Chen Fangmin's.
"Xiaowei, is that Xiaowei? We're your mom and dad."
"It's been years since we last saw each other. Mom misses you. You're in Shanghai, right? We're in Jinshi, and it takes us a long time to get to Shanghai. Shall we come and see you?"
Shen Xuewei knew this day would come sooner or later. After all, given their greedy nature, once they found out she had so many assets, they would want to force her to hand them all over.
However, her things are not so easy to obtain.
Her expression was indifferent, and the smile at the corner of her mouth revealed a hint of coldness.
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, she pulled out the document she had prepared long ago from the drawer.
After seeing netizens' analysis of Shen Xuewei online and learning that she was exceptionally wealthy, the Shen family couple couldn't sit still any longer.
Money, so much money, who wouldn't want it?
Because of Grandma Xi's dying words, Chen Fangmin felt a little guilty towards Shen Xuewei.
Over the years, I have tried my best not to contact Shen Xuewei.
But so much money beckoned to her; even if Grandma Xi were to come back to life, it wouldn't suppress her desire for money.
The journey took more than three hours, and the car was driven very fast.
They arrived even faster than Shen Xuewei had expected.
Looking at the group of people standing in the yard, greedily examining the villa, Shen Xuewei's eyes flashed with annoyance.
The group noticed Shen Xuewei, and their expressions varied.
Shen Xuewen and his wife lowered their heads in remorse, while Shen Xuewu tried his best to show friendliness and ingratiation.
Chen Fangmin quickly walked towards Shen Xuewei, her words filled with complaints.
“Xiaowei, I’m not trying to be mean, but you make so much money, why don’t you ever think about your family? You’re enjoying yourself here, but you haven’t thought about your parents who are suffering, your younger brother and sister-in-law, or your nephew.”
"Since you're already so rich, we won't ask for much each month, just half, plus your nephew's tuition, and your two younger brothers..."
She immediately started criticizing Shen Xuewei, hurling all sorts of accusations at her, her attitude unchanged from before.
Shen Xuewu is now acting as a kind and understanding younger brother.
A hint of apology appeared on his face. "Sister, don't take Mom's words to heart. She's just worried about you. She's been thinking of you all these years. We're still family after all, and she just wants all of us children to be well."
Shen Xuewei raised her hand to interrupt them, "Don't try to take advantage of me like that. I have no interest in listening to your rambling nonsense."
The moment the words "begging for alms" were uttered, the expressions on the faces of the men changed instantly.
Shen Xuewu's expression was slightly unpleasant.
"Sis, don't say such hurtful things."
His wife, Cen Meiyu, chimed in, "That's right, sister. We just meant well and wanted to show you more concern."
“Your parents said you’ve worked so hard away from home for so many years, and they asked us to come and help you out.”
She gently nudged her son, Shen Minghui, who was standing in front of her.
"Sister, this is Minghui, my and Xuewu's son, your nephew. Who knows, in the future, you might need Minghui to take care of you in your old age."
Nie Shuqin, who was listening nearby, was not having it.
Rolling her eyes, she immediately retorted angrily, "With Weiwei being so capable, why would she need him to support her in her old age? Do you really think no one knows what you're thinking? You're practically saying you want Weiwei's money outright."
"Besides, does Weiwei need him to support her in her old age? What do you take us for, Mingmei? Are we invisible?"
She smiled and looked at her daughter who had come with her, "Mingmei, do you still remember your aunt?"
Shen Mingmei nodded, "Yes, I remember Auntie. Auntie is Mingmei's favorite person."
"Hey, isn't Auntie here? Go talk to Auntie."
Shen Mingmei ran up to Shen Xuewei, looked up and called out to her with a sweet smile.
"Auntie, I miss you so much."
Shen Xuewei's expression softened slightly. She patted her head and called Sister Zou over.
"Sister Zou, take the two kids out to play."
Sister Zou walked over quickly and led the two children to play in the pavilion. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Xuewei, her expression filled with worry.
She has taken care of Shen Xuewei for so many years, but has never met her family.
Looking at them today, they all seem like wolves and tigers, all after Miss Shen's money.
No wonder Miss Shen isn't close to them at all.
Chen Fangmin, Cen Meiyu, and the others continued to chatter amongst themselves, while Shen Xuewei's gaze remained fixed on Shen Jiaying, who had remained silent throughout.
"Dad, it's been so long! Aren't you going to say something to me?"
Everyone wanted a piece of the pie from Shen Xuewei.
Upon arriving here, Shen Jiaying ordered his men to charge into battle while he observed the situation first.
Shen Xuewei specifically called him out, so he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. He smiled, his smile full of kindness.
"Xiaowei... You've worked so hard all these years, and I feel really guilty."
Shen Xuewei smiled as well, "Really? Since Dad feels so guilty towards me, isn't there any way to make amends?"
Shen Jiaying was only after money, so he wouldn't offer her any compensation.
He sighed, "Xiaowei, it's my fault for being useless. I haven't earned much money over the years and can't give you a good life. You have to work hard on your own..."
Shen Xuewei acted like a perfect obedient daughter.
"It's okay, Dad. Even though you don't have anything for me, I have a surprise for you that I think you'll like."
Several people nearby were listening intently, and upon hearing that Shen Xuewei was pleasantly surprised, Chen Fangmin said matter-of-factly:
"Don't just think about your dad. There's also your mom and me, and your two younger brothers. We've earned so much money, how can we not use it for our own family?"
Shen Xuewei scanned the group of people in front of her, and each one of them seemed more greedy than the last.
Her smile was gentle, but her words were not so pleasant.
"It's no use you coming today. I can tell you clearly that I will not give you a single penny."
Chen Fangmin's eyes widened, she flew into a rage, and her voice was shrill.
"What do you mean by this? I'm your mother, you should listen to me. Aren't you afraid I'll expose you online and sue you for treating your family so badly?"
Shen Xuewei said indifferently, "It's your freedom to go if you want. I won't stop you. However, you have to be able to bear the consequences if you're capable of doing it."
Shen Jiaying stopped Chen Fangmin and looked at Shen Xuewei.
"what are you up to?"
Shen Xuewei sat leisurely in the chair, picked up the wine glass next to her, and took a sip of red wine.
"I heard Xiao Wu was recently promoted to manager. Congratulations!"
Shen Xuewu's expression stiffened, and he became tense.
He didn't think Shen Xuewei's congratulations were a blessing; rather, they sounded like a threat.
