Chapter 356 Similar Faces, Awkward Relationship

"You are so lucky to have such a daughter." After saying this, Su Meisu put away the contract, said goodbye, and left.

Zheng Shuhui watched Su Meisu's departing figure, her expression unreadable, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The butler carefully observed Zheng Shuhui's expression, but ultimately found no sign of her softening.

The butler couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Zheng Shuhui left and took the shuttle bus back to her residence, only glancing at the main building where Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo lived as she passed by.

But I only glanced at it.

...

In the main building.

Shi Nian is removing her makeup.

She looked at her face in the mirror.

This face looks very similar to Zheng Shuhui's.

She looks exactly like Zheng Shuhui when she was young.

However, their relationship was never good.

Just like this time, when Yishi opened, she asked Zheng Shuhui for her opinion.

"Don't involve me, I don't want to have anything to do with him." These were Zheng Shuhui's words to her.

So Shi Nian simply said that she would be given shares, and that she didn't need to worry about anything else; she could just wait for the dividends.

Zheng Shuhui then agreed.

Shi Nian recalled what had happened back then.

Their lives were difficult after their father died.

The Zheng family ignored her, and Zheng Shuhui, a pampered lady who had lived a life of luxury for many years, was forced to do hard and tiring work.

The cycle repeats itself day after day, without end.

Finally, they encountered Wu Jing.

Zheng Shuhui is tired.

She didn't want to live like that anymore; she wanted someone to rely on.

So she accepted her fate and followed Wu Jing.

In the end, Wu Jing was also sent to prison because of Shi Nian.

She still remembers the rainy night when she had a big argument with Zheng Shuhui.

"My life is ruined by you two, father and daughter!"

"I didn't enjoy my good days for more than a few years before she died!"

"If I had abandoned you back then, I could have lived a perfectly good life on my own!"

"Shi Nian, it was you and your father who ruined me!"

"If I hadn't kept you by my side all these years, you would have been long gone!"

At that time, Shi Nian stood under the dripping eaves, watching Zheng Shuhui.

"I will take care of you, Mom. I promised you I would give you a good life! I will make up for everything Dad owes you. Give me time."

Despite Shi Nian's words, Zheng Shuhui ignored them and only talked about how good Wu Jing was.

“But he hit me,” Shi Nian said, her eyes red.

"Didn't you move out?" Zheng Shuhui snapped. "You're still alive and well, aren't you!"

“He took his anger out on me, he beat me to death, if it weren’t for… I might really be dead, he also…” Shi Nian almost said those unbearable things, but in the end she swallowed them back.

Finally, she called out, "Mom..."

"Don't call me that again! Shi Nian, I'm not your mother!" Zheng Shuhui grabbed a bowl from the side and smashed it on her shoulder.

Inside the room.

Shi Nian touched her shoulder and looked at herself in the mirror.

The makeup has been completely removed.

The spot on my shoulder that was hit has long since healed.

But thinking about it still makes her sad.

She knew that Zheng Shuhui had once loved her, but at the same time, Zheng Shuhui also hated her.

For many years, they have maintained this awkward relationship.

Even if they are biological mother and daughter.

It's hard to tell who was right and who was wrong back then. She also knows that if Zheng Shuhui had abandoned her back then, her life might have been better.

But……

never mind.

Shi Nian withdrew her gaze, first went to Si Si's room to check on Si Si, then took a bath, and finally returned to her room.

She had already moved into the master bedroom some time ago.

Right now, Huo Yanmo is wearing pajamas and looking at documents at a table.

Seeing her come in, Huo Yanmo said, "Uncle Zhou just said that he ran into Auntie when he was signing the contract with Su Meisu."

Shi Nian paused slightly, then nodded to indicate that she understood.

She sat down next to Huo Yanmo and glanced at the documents in his hand.

Huo Yanmo did not shy away from the topic.

These are all data from various companies.

Huo Yanmo has a lot of things to deal with every day.

Despite having many things to do, he still values ​​his family.

People in City A already knew that the three members of the Huo family had a very good relationship and a great family atmosphere.

Although Huo Yanmo's father also died young.

However, the two families are completely different.

Perhaps it's because of family reasons?

The Shi family...

At that time, the Shi family was under complete siege.

Moreover, the Shi family itself is not a large family; they rely entirely on Shi Yichen's personal abilities.

That's why Shi Yichen was called a genius back then.

Thinking about it, Shi Nian took out some more documents to look at.

"Aren't you very tired?" Huo Yanmo asked.

Shi Nian shook her head.

She was in a bad mood just now, but when she thought about what she was going to do, she became more determined.

Many things require a prerequisite: that she herself is strong.

To gain a foothold in a game requires strength.

Let Zheng Shuhui know that Shi Nian's promise to support her, and that supporting her well, requires real ability.

It takes strength to give her and Sisi a good life and reduce the pressure on Huo Yanmo because of her.

Although Huo Yanmo wanted to support her and transfer all her belongings to both of them, that wasn't in her nature.

One's own strength is the root of everything, the foundation for survival and livelihood!

Seeing Shi Nian start marking things up seriously and making a list, Huo Yanmo smiled.

The feeling of two people running towards a better future together is truly wonderful.

...

On the other side.

In PIH.

Yu Yiyang opened the door to the private room and walked in.

Upon seeing Lu Yanzhi inside, he pursed his lips.

Many things have happened recently, from Han Wei's image collapse to the various changes between Lu Yanzhi and Shi Nian, all of which were unexpected to him.

I never expected things to develop to this point.

With a long sigh, Yu Yiyang closed the door and went to Lu Yanzhi's side.

“Brother Lu…” Yu Yiyang didn’t know how to comfort Lu Yanzhi.

Shi Nian is getting married to Huo Yanmo, and the wedding date is set for three months from now.

Lu Yanzhi didn't speak, but simply nodded and poured Yu Yiyang a glass of wine.

Yu Yiyang picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Neither of them spoke, and they drank one cup after another.

After a long while, when all the drinks in the private room were finished, Yu Yiyang ordered more.

"Brother Lu, what are your plans for now?" Yu Yiyang finally asked, "What about you and Shi Nian..."

Lu Yanzhi shook his head.

"How about I introduce you to someone else?" Yu Yiyang said. "You know there are plenty of wealthy women in the industry who like you, if you're willing."

From childhood to adulthood, Lu Yanzhi has always been popular with girls, both because of his wealth and his personal qualities.

However, Lu Yanzhi himself was not very interested in these things. His mind was mostly on the Lu family, its development, its transformation, and so on.

Over the years, he has only had two women by his side: Guo Shinian and Han Wei.

Now, one of them is getting married, and the other is wanted by the police.
