Chapter 173 Powerful
Su Qianqian stared blankly, a little dazed.
Shen Que, so this is how I came into this world.
An unexpected but gifted bastard.
In the following six years, Mrs. Shen Er relied on her gentleness, thoughtfulness, propriety and generosity. Although she did not win the true love of Mr. Shen, she still made him place her and her son outside, where they were well-fed and well-clothed, and she was never treated harshly.
When Shen Que was five years old, he was already very intelligent.
Old Master Shen personally came forward and brought his grandson, who had been wandering outside, back to the Shen family's old house.
That day, Mrs. Shen from the Shen family, a woman who came from an ordinary background but was tough, cold, and could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, went crazy on the spot.
She smashed everything she could get her hands on, her heart torn.
Father Shen was tormented as he watched his wife suffer.
But when he looked at the smart and calm girl with calm eyes, the desire for an outstanding successor in his heart finally overwhelmed his guilt.
Mrs. Shen made a fuss and cried, but Shen Que and his mother stayed in the end.
Mrs. Shen originally wanted to leave, but she was too unwilling to do so.
She was unwilling to see something that belonged to her son being taken away so easily by a bastard.
In the days that followed, she was sometimes terrifyingly calm, and sometimes sarcastic and mocking towards Shen Que and Mrs. Shen Er, and even couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart and would pinch and beat them at will.
Mr. Shen knew he was in the wrong, but he indulged her. Mrs. Shen Er knew his love for her very well, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Little Chen Que grew up rapidly in such a distorted environment.
He understood earlier than anyone else that warmth and love are false, and only the money, power and ability held tightly in one's hands are real.
But in this disgusting house, a beam of light shone in. It was his brother who was six years older than him, the eldest son of the Shen family.
When his mother loses control and pinches him, his brother will stand up for her and gently apologize to him on her behalf.
His brother also told him that these things were his father's fault, not his.
Later, his brother would even quietly take his hand and take him to the garden to play some simple games.
At that time, Shen Que clearly knew that they were competitors, but he still felt a desire in his heart and secretly treated him as a real brother.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.
A year later, Shen Que was six years old.
After a fierce quarrel and cold war between Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen, the considerate Mrs. Shen stayed by his side and comforted him gently.
This time, Father Shen did not numb himself with alcohol, he was sober.
So, they had Shen Nian'an.
The birth of Shen Nian'an became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Madam Shen.
She could no longer bear this suffocating life and resolutely took her son to study abroad.
Before leaving, Shen Que secretly found his brother and they agreed to keep in touch.
But the promise was ultimately defeated by reality. Madam Shen was very cautious and never allowed them to have any contact.
Fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Que is twenty-one years old and has already shown his potential.
Not only did he stabilize the Shen family's traditional industries, but he also used an iron-fisted approach to expand global trade and tourism and vacation projects in various places and established the new Shen headquarters.
There, no one called him Mr. Shen, everyone called him: President Shen.
Mrs. Shen, who was on the other side of the ocean, saw the increasingly dazzling Shen Que in the financial reports, and her psychological problems became more and more serious.
Her emotions fluctuated between elegant calm and hysteria.
Finally, she decided to return home.
When Mr. Shen heard the news, he couldn't hide his joy and anticipation.
Chen Que remained calm on the surface and handled affairs as usual, but he was actually secretly looking forward to it.
As for Second Madam Shen, she was visibly afraid and was in a state of panic all day long.
The young Shen Nian'an was just ignorant and didn't know what the return of the legendary aunt meant.
One night later, Mrs. Shen landed in S City.
The brother that Shen Que had been looking forward to also came back.
But what he saw was the eldest son of the Shen family with a distant look in his eyes, nodding politely to him as if he were a stranger.
Chen Que didn't even stay in the old house for two days before moving back to his apartment in the city, and rarely set foot in this suffocating home again.
However, the years have not dulled Mrs. Shen's hatred, but sometimes it has become even more crazy.
She poured all her resentment on the young Shen Nian'an.
Shen's father's heart was filled with love for her after losing her and regaining her. He almost obeyed her in everything and turned a blind eye to everything Shen Nian'an suffered.
Shen Nian'an didn't understand why her father, who used to love her, would now just ignore her crying.
Her mother could only cry secretly and did not allow her to go find her brother.
She said, "Nian'an, be good, don't make a fuss, don't tell anyone, or your dad will dislike us even more. You don't want to lose your dad forever, right?"
Two years passed like this, a long and depressing life.
Until one day, when Shen Que returned to the old house, he accidentally saw the new and old overlapping pinch marks and bruises on Shen Nian'an's arms. He instantly understood what kind of life his sister had been living in the past two years.
Because he was like that before.
He went to his father to argue for the first time.
Father Shen waved his hand impatiently, not caring: "Your aunt is just feeling bitter and wants to vent. How much strength can she, a little woman, have?"
"Just let Nian'an apply some medicine and don't make a fuss."
At that moment, Shen Que looked at his father, and the last expectation of family affection in his heart completely chilled.
He said nothing and took Shen Nian'an away directly.
At the same time, unfortunately, Brother Shen was in a car accident and could no longer stand up on his legs.
When the bad news came, Mrs. Shen went completely crazy.
Sometimes she cried and said that she should not have returned to China and harmed her child;
Sometimes he would make sharp accusations, saying that this bastard Shen Que had been planning this for a long time.
Father Shen was heartbroken and explained to her over and over again that it was really just an accident.
But Madam Shen didn't believe it. She lived in her own world, half of the time she was sober and calm, and half of the time she was madly cursing Shen Que and the entire Shen family.
Until this year, Shen Que was twenty-seven years old.
The Shen family grew larger and more powerful under his leadership, and maintained its position as one of the four major families.
However, more than 20 years have passed, and the family has gradually disappeared in the long river of history. Young people today are more accustomed to calling it: the Shen family chaebol.
