The sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a dappled light on the Shen family's spacious living room, but it failed to dispel the tension and depression that permeated the place.
Shen Weiwei was extremely anxious. She snatched the document from Shen Qingli's hand in one quick step, her movements showing a reckless urgency.
Her hands were shaking slightly, as if she was holding a bomb that could explode at any time.
Then she quickly lowered her head, her eyes wandering wildly between the lines of the document.
When she saw the words written in black and white, Shen Weiwei's eyes widened like bells, and her face was full of disbelief.
Her lips opened slightly, but no sound came out for a long time. The shock in her heart surged like a surging tide.
what?
How could this happen?
The past twenty years seemed like an absurd dream at this moment. They didn't even have any inheritance rights?
How is this possible?
She remembered that her father Shen Song had vowed that he would transfer Shen's shares to her name. That was the future she had always been sure of, but now it was shattered like a bubble.
Shen Song actually owns 500% of Shen's shares. The only reason he has been in charge of Shen's is because Yao Yuling's will states that he is the manager.
This means that if Shen Qingli wants to take it back, his position will be abolished at any time.
Shen Weiwei's mind went blank. She couldn't accept this cruel reality. What were the lives of her and her mother over the years?
After paying so much, this is the result.
She staggered to Shen Song's front, her voice trembling with excitement: "Dad, is this true?"
Shen Song's face instantly turned as ugly as death. His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
His eyes were evasive, not daring to look directly into his daughter's eyes, and he felt extremely regretful. He thought Shen Qingli was joking, but he didn't expect her to come to him so soon.
Under Shen Weiwei's anxious and expectant gaze, he nodded with difficulty.
Shen Qingli glanced at the time. She had to go to work in the afternoon and didn't have much time to mess around here. She wanted to finish this quickly.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm. "Now that you all understand, let's move! I want to take back this house."
Shen Weiwei was like a ignited gunpowder barrel, glaring at Shen Qingli, her eyes full of angry flames: "Shen Qingli, where do you want us to move to? We have lived here for more than two decades."
Her voice was tearful, filled with resentment and grievance.
Shen Qingli's eyes suddenly turned cold, like frost on a cold night: "Where to move is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
"You have been allowed to live here for free for so long, so I am doing you a great favor by not charging you the rent."
Shen Weiwei's eyes instantly turned red. She gritted her teeth, her voice full of resentment: "Shen Qingli, you will be punished."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qingli chuckled softly. There was a hint of sarcasm in that smile, but more of it was calmness: "Retribution? If there really is retribution, you will be the first to suffer it."
I'm just taking back what belongs to me." Her tone was firm, without any retreat.
Shen Weiwei was unwilling to be defeated like this, she tried to make a final struggle: "Shen Qingli, Dad is your biological father, do you really want to let him suffer like this at his age?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingli's lips curled up into a faint smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes: "Doesn't he still have a good and obedient daughter like you?"
"You will definitely take good care of him in the future."
Her answer was neither humble nor arrogant, leaving Shen Weiwei speechless.
"Stop talking nonsense here. You have today to move out."
"I'll come to collect the room tonight. If you still stay here, don't blame me for finding someone to help you move."
After Shen Qingli finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without giving them any chance to refute.
Her back was firm and resolute, as if she was saying goodbye to the past.
Zhou Yanchen stood aside and watched this quietly.
He looked at Shen Qingli's back, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart. It turned out that she was really a cat that was difficult to tame.
If she really becomes cruel, I'm afraid no one can persuade her.
He is now really worried that Shen Qingli will not turn back. This stubbornness and strength makes him feel distressed.
What exactly did she experience in the Shen family in the past?
Is there something he hasn't checked?
He hurriedly chased after her, with a trace of anxiety on his face: "Xiao Li, where are you going? I'll take you there."
Shen Qingli stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes: "Zhou Yanchen, how did you know I was here?"
Zhou Yanchen was about to explain when he was interrupted by Shen Qingli, who said with a hint of displeasure: "Are you trying to say it was just another coincidence?"
"Zhou Yanchen, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"I received a call from the hospital in the early morning. A few minutes after I went downstairs, you drove up to me."
"Today too, I came to the Shen family not long ago and you came again, Zhou Yanchen, are you sending someone to follow me?"
Her words were full of questions, and this series of coincidences made her doubt.
Zhou Yanchen was inexplicably panicked when he saw Shen Qingli's cold tone. His eyes were full of tension and uneasiness: "Li, please listen to my explanation. I... I just want you to protect the safety of you and the children. I don't mean anything else."
There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, fearing that Shen Qingli would misunderstand his good intentions.
Shen Qingli raised a bitter smile at the corner of his lips, and that smile was full of fatigue: "I don't mean anything else. You know everything I do. Zhou Yanchen, I'm not a criminal. I don't need to be monitored."
"I will protect the children and keep your ๊ทธ away."
Zhou Yanchen was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
He lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "Xiao Li, I'm sorry, it's my lack of consideration that has caused you trouble."
Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yanchen in front of her. When did he become so unpredictable?
Zhou Yanchen like this made her even more scared.
After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, her voice filled with deep fatigue: "Zhou Yanchen, I'm really tired."
"Can you please stop bothering me from now on?"
After saying this, she turned around and walked forward without looking back, each step she took was heavy and firm.
Zhou Yanchen looked at her determined back, a trace of pain flashing across his eyes.
He knew that he had made her angry again.
He stood there for a long time without moving, his heart full of confusion and self-blame.
The sun still shone on the earth, but it could not shine into his now gloomy heart.
Every time he thought things had calmed down a little, her words would bring him back to reality.
Shen Qingli, what exactly should I do so that you can reopen your heart and let me in?
