Chapter 722 I Have No Brother
"Brother! Brother!" Shen Jilan quickly stopped him, "Please come home with me, I'm begging you."
Shen Boyan retorted sarcastically, "Go home? Where is my home?"
"Forehead……"
Shen Jilan knew that asking him to call Shen Boyan home was simply a joke.
Shen Boyan severed ties with his family before graduating from university, his attitude was so firm, and he has not contacted any member of the Shen family for so many years.
How can we expect him to go home just because we ask him to?
But Shen Jilan had no choice; if he didn't call Shen Boyan back, he would be the one to suffer.
“Brother, I know you still hate Dad, but his health has been getting worse and worse these past few years. The doctor said he only has a few years left to live…” Shen Jilan’s voice began to choke as he spoke.
Shen Boyan, however, was not buying it at all. "Shen Jilan, it's no use acting with me."
Shen Jilan's voice stopped abruptly, and he sniffed awkwardly.
But he didn't give up. He continued to play the emotional card, "Brother, please come back with me. Even if you've cut ties with Dad, I'm still your brother. You have no idea how much I suffer listening to Dad's nagging these past few years while you've been away. Please have pity on your brother and come back with me, okay?"
Shen Boyan remained unmoved. "What did he ask of you?"
He simply couldn't believe that his younger brother, who hadn't contacted him for several years, had traveled all the way from Beijing to Chongqing just to get him to come back.
As expected, Shen Jilan looked visibly guilty, his eyes darting away, avoiding Shen Boyan's gaze. "What request? Dad just wants you to come home, but he wouldn't come himself, so he sent me instead..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Boyan turned and left.
Shen Jilan had no choice but to lay his cards on the table, "Brother, brother, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Shen Jilan pouted, "Dad said that if you don't go back, he will cut off all my credit cards, stop giving me any pocket money, and even stop letting me drive the family car."
Shen Jilan had no idea what his father was trying to do.
Shen Boyan was his own son, and he knew Shen Boyan better than he did.
Anyone with a brain knows that Shen Boyan isn't someone who can be summoned back with just a few words.
Did he really think that Shen Boyan was joking when he said he was severing ties?
Shen Jilan pleaded, "Brother, please go back. The family's businesses are all left to you, waiting for you to manage them. If you don't go back, and Dad has a change of heart and wants me to inherit them, what am I supposed to do? You know that managing those things is the worst thing for me. If the Shen family goes bankrupt because of me, I will be in big trouble."
Despite Shen Jilan's best efforts to play the victim, she still couldn't persuade Shen Boyan.
He said calmly, "My home is here, not in the capital. Go back and don't come again."
"No, brother..." Shen Jilan was about to chase after him.
Shen Boyan turned around and warned him with his eyes, "I said, don't come here again, understand?"
Even though the two hadn't seen each other for several years, Shen Jilan was still afraid of his older brother.
He swallowed hard and nodded obediently, "I understand."
Shen Boyan went upstairs without looking back.
Shen Jilan looked up at the apartment.
He completely forgot what Shen Boyan had just said.
How could he not come? If Shen Boyan didn't go back, he would starve.
His stubborn old father is capable of anything.
No matter what, he had to find a way to get Shen Boyan back!
Shen Jilan's appearance annoyed Shen Boyan.
He lay in bed, staring intently at the ceiling.
Some unpleasant memories surfaced in his mind.
“Dad, the construction of the old town is not an easy task. If we take on this project, there will be a lot of trouble later.”
“Boyan, as I said, as long as you finish your studies, I will take care of things at home. Don’t worry about it.”
...
"Dad! This really can't go on, or you'll definitely be facing a murder charge!"
...
"My mom's health is getting worse. Could you spend more time with her?"
...
"Shen Congyao! I warned you long ago! Those houses can't be demolished, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble, why won't you listen!"
"It's all because of you that those people went to the hospital to cause trouble! You killed my mother! It was your stubbornness that killed my mother!"
...
"I am your father! The pillar of the Shen family. Everything I have done is for the good of the Shen family!"
...
"If you leave, don't ever come back! Get out!"
...
Past memories played like movie clips, frame by frame, in Shen Boyan's mind.
Shen Boyan turned over, covered his head with the blanket, and forced himself to fall asleep.
Shen Boyan didn't get much sleep until dawn.
As he was leaving, Sun Miao noticed the dark circles under his eyes. "Boyan, didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Tao Yang laughed and said, "When has he ever slept well? He stays up all night every day and acts like nothing's wrong."
The three of them came out of the apartment and stood by the roadside to hail a taxi. Sun Miao remembered the boy who called Shen Boyan "brother" last night and asked curiously, "Boyan, was that your younger brother yesterday? You have a younger brother? I don't think I've ever heard you mention him before."
"Younger brother?" Tao Yang was also somewhat shocked. "What does he look like? How old is he? Why did he suddenly come to see you?"
Seeing his excited expression, Sun Miao was speechless. "Are you serious? People who don't know the situation might think you're asking about someone you're dating."
Tao Yang chuckled awkwardly, "It's just curiosity."
Sun Miao was also quite curious. After all, they had known Shen Boyan for so long, and he had never mentioned his family to them. They didn't even know where his home was.
But when Sun Miao and Tao Yang both looked at Shen Boyan, waiting for his answer.
Shen Boyan said expressionlessly, "He is not my brother. I have no brother."
"ah?"
Sun Miao asked in confusion, "But I clearly heard it yesterday..."
Sun Miao was only halfway through his sentence when Tao Yang tugged at him.
He whispered to her, "Don't ask anymore, haven't you noticed that Boyan doesn't want to talk about it?"
Sun Miao muttered to herself, "My brother isn't involved in anything shameful, so why don't they want to talk about it..."
Tao Yang almost couldn't resist giving her a tap on the head.
Why is this girl, who usually seems so clever, so slow to react at crucial moments?
Fortunately, Shen Boyan didn't seem to hear Sun Miao's mutterings. He hailed a taxi and said to the two of them, "Get in."
When they arrived at the Big Bad Wolf Company, the three of them got out of the car and were about to go inside.
Shen Jilan appeared out of nowhere, "Brother!"
When Shen Boyan saw him, his expression immediately darkened.
Sun Miao waved to Shen Jilan, "Hello, handsome, we meet again."
Shen Jilan smiled at Sun Miao and said, "Hello."
Tao Yang looked at Shen Jilan curiously, "You're Bo Yan's younger brother?"
