In the kitchen.
Chen Mei began to prepare a tonic, which is a tonic for the elderly to increase their body resistance. It is produced by a large brand. In the past few days, she made a bowl of it for Lin Zhenxun every day.
After a while, it was ready.
Chen Mei filled the bowl she usually used, took out another bag of white powder and sprinkled some in, then scooped it evenly with a spoon, a strange smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
She carried it and walked towards Lin Zhenxun's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Lin Zhenxun was reading the annual report sent by the Lin Group. It was almost the end of the year and the data for the year were all out. As the executive director, although he had handed over all the important matters to his three sons, he still had to keep an eye on the big things.
Just as he was watching intently, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Lin Zhenxun asked, thinking it was the nanny.
"Dad, it's me." It was Shen Mei who answered at the door.
Lin Zhenxun was stunned: "Meimei, what are you doing here so late?"
"Dad, I made some nourishing soup for you. It's just right for drinking now that the weather is cold." Shen Mei replied sweetly.
"No need, Meimei, drink it yourself. I don't want to drink anymore." Lin Zhenxun didn't want anyone to come and disturb him, so he refused directly.
"Dad, this tonic is for a course of treatment. I drank it in the past few days. Tonight is the last night. If you don't drink it, then all the drinks in the past few days will be in vain. Please open the door. I have already made it for you." Chen Mei refused to leave outside and continued to lobby, as if she would not leave unless he drank it.
Lin Zhenxun was distracted and had to open the door.
Shen Mei walked in cautiously, carrying a bowl of soup.
"Dad, drink it while it's hot." She placed the bowl of soup in front of him with care and consideration.
"Put it on the table first. I'll drink it later." She was so considerate and caring. If he didn't drink it, it would be really disrespectful to her. He had no choice but to say this.
"Dad, drink it while it's hot first. I'll wash the dishes after you finish. It's so late and the servants are all asleep." Chen Mei was very virtuous and considerate. She insisted that Lin Zhenxun drink it now.
Lin Zhenxun had no choice but to take the bowl, drank a sip with a spoon, and put it on the table. He said, "How about this, I'll leave the bowl here. I'll wash it myself when I'm done. You go and accompany Lanlan first."
"Dad, or..." Chen Mei still insisted, but suddenly Lin Zhenxun's sharp eyes shot towards her.
She took a breath of cold air, took a step back, and her eyes were a little panicked.
"Okay, Dad, then put it here after you finish drinking. I'll come to get the bowl to wash it tomorrow morning. Please don't wash it yourself. You are the chairman of the Lin family. You are noble and don't need to do such work. Besides, it's so late and you are old. It would be bad if you fall." Chen Mei had to say a few considerate words before leaving.
After watching her leave, Lin Zhenxun walked over, closed the door, and locked it.
He looked at the bowl of steaming nourishing soup in front of him with a calm expression, and sat down at the desk again.
After a while, the footsteps in the corridor faded away.
He took out his cell phone...
Early in the morning.
As soon as Shen Ning sent the three little ones to the Blue Whale Kindergarten, the phone in his hand rang.
She answered.
The call was from the nanny from the housekeeping company that Shen Ning hired for Shen Deshun.
"Mrs. Li, I've been living here for three days, but the owner you mentioned, Shen Deshun, hasn't come back. I've already cleaned up. Do you still need my services?"
"Are you sure that the owner of the house, Shen Deshun, has not been back in the past three days?" Shen Ning's heart sank and he asked immediately.
"Yes, Mrs. Li, I stay in the house every day and go downstairs to buy some vegetables. I can confirm that the owner has never come home." The nanny answered from the other side.
Shen Ning was silent for a while holding the phone.
