Chapter 101 (Exclusive)
"This night is unforgettable, this night is unforgettable, no matter where in the world we are, we wish you all the best..."
Xie Tingsi stood on the stage and sang Unforgettable Tonight with his colleagues.
Shen Baili and a few others were sitting in the audience, watching Xie Tingsi in high spirits and felt proud of him.
Last year, the family bid farewell to the old year at Xie's house.
Today, the family is in Beijing, at the Spring Festival Gala, welcoming the New Year together.
"It sounds really handsome." Xie Liuzheng did not hide his praise.
Xie Chengyue: "He has grown up."
Xie Zhiyu: "I feel much more mature after listening to him."
Not far away, Xie Tingsi spotted them, smiled and waved at them.
At this moment, fireworks were blooming, Xie Tingsi's eyes were amazingly bright, and he was smiling like a fool.
The family who just said he had grown up: "..."
Shen Baili and Shen Wan covered their mouths and laughed.
Xie Chengyue: "You are a brat who can't help but be praised."
Xie Liuzheng: "Hahahahahahahaha, let's go and take the brat home."
Xie Zhiyu helped Xie Chengyue up and reminded the others, "The temperature difference outside is huge, remember to wear your coats."
Shen Wan carefully tied the scarf for Shen Baili: "Sui Sui, it's cold outside."
Shen Baili could hardly suppress the smile and obediently let her mother tie the scarf for her.
Xie Chengyue stood up and waited quietly for Shen Wan.
Shen Wan tied her scarf, took Shen Baili's hand, and said softly, "Let's go."
Xie Chengyue took his wife's other hand and left together.
Xie Liuzheng looked at this scene with an expression as if he had just seen some sweet love.
Xie Zhiyu: "...Aunt, watch your feet."
The two followed them and left together.
As soon as they walked out of the corridor, Xie Tingsi came to greet them, still wearing his performance costume.
"Happy New Year!"
Behind him, assistant Ning Xin came jogging over, holding a thick down jacket.
Xie Chengyue patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done."
Shen Baili looked up and responded: "Happy New Year!"
Xie Tingsi's mouth was almost stretched to his ears, and he rubbed the top of the girl's head.
"I'm awesome, right?"
Xie Zhiyu took the down jacket from Ning Xin's hand, thanked her in a low voice, and then put it on Xie Tingsi.
Xie Liuzheng: "The performance was wonderful. I couldn't hear any deviation at all. Very impressive!"
Xie Tingsi: "Of course, I'm Xie Tingsi!"
"Ningxin, my brother and I are going home. Please tell Sister Yan."
Ning Xin nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"After today's celebration banquet, we will officially have a holiday. See you after the holiday."
Ning Xin's smile became more genuine: "Okay, thank you, boss."
She ran over like the wind, and ran back like the wind, her back figure becoming even lighter.
A gust of cold wind blew over, and Xie Tingsi shrugged his shoulders: "Let's go home."
Xie Zhiyu grabbed him and pointed to the other side: "The car is over there."
Xie Tingsi adjusted his direction, his expression calm: "Let's go home!"
Xie Chengyue shook his head imperceptibly, with a faint smile on his face.
Home is where the family is.
After the New Year's Eve, they did not leave Beijing in a hurry, but went to a hot spring resort in the suburbs to spend a short and pleasant vacation.
After the holidays, everyone starts their busy study or work life.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Baili was seventeen years old. After unremitting exercise, she grew several centimeters taller, and her height exceeded 1.6 meters and reached 1.62 meters.
Although her dream of being 1.80 meters tall is still a long way off, breaking through the 1.60 meter mark is cause for celebration, and she can still grow!
In the past six months, "Year-Old's Infinite Wardrobe" has been a huge success, ranking among the top three most popular games among players. The game's peripherals have been very popular and generated a lot of profits.
Suisui Studio is also gradually getting on the right track, and several important game projects including "Empress's Growth Plan" and "Suisui's Adventure in Another World" are being intensively prepared.
Shen Baili and Shen Wan have earned a lot from shares and dividends. Part of it is invested in new projects, and part of it is used to help poor girls live and study, provide legal aid to women who suffer domestic violence, and other charitable projects that care for women.
Ninety percent of the game's revenue comes from female players, and part of the proceeds is used to help more women.
The success of Sui Sui Studio has attracted many people's attention, including Xie Chengyue, the former head of Xie Group.
Yes, Xie Chengyue handed over power to the next generation, Xie Zhiyu, who used thundering means to suppress the restless board of directors and formally accepted the Xie Group.
Xie Liuzheng's music album was also a great success. She switched from her original orchestra to an international orchestra and was promoted to an associate professor at Haicheng Conservatory of Music.
Her career flourished, and the dusty pearl finally shone with its original brilliance.
Shen Wan is the same. She is busy with the affairs of Sui Sui Studio every day, and occasionally seeks advice from the semi-retired Xie Chengyue on how to manage a company and its personnel.
At the end of her second year of high school, Ruan Mian received a message from her childhood sweetheart, with whom she had been training for nearly nine months, saying that he was safe, and then they lost contact again.
Quan Yu was fine, which made Ruan Mian feel relieved. 】
By the end of her second year of high school, Shen Baili's total energy accumulated to 87%.
During this period, whether it was a major or minor exam, Shen Baili firmly maintained her position as the number one in the grade.
However, during this period, she never unlocked a new chapter.
Is the crisis over? Or is this just the calm before the storm?
Shen Baili didn't know, but she knew that the college entrance examination a year later would be a crucial moment.
Summer vacation is here, and the movie "The Taoist" funded and starred by Xie Tingsi was released as scheduled.
After many twists and turns, this movie started to explode a week after its release, beating all the movies released during the same period, and finally ended with a box office of 4 billion, becoming a huge success.
As the main investor, Xie Tingsi made a lot of money. He bought gifts for every family member and gave high bonuses to every member of the team.
Xie Tingsi's acting career has reached its peak and he is expected to win the Best Actor award this year.
Everyone in the Xie family is getting better, both in their career and themselves.
…
With the end of summer vacation, Shen Baili officially entered her senior year of high school.
The first day of school is the parents' mobilization meeting for senior year students.
As parents, Shen Wan and Xie Chengyue attended Shen Baili's parent-teacher meeting together, and both were looking forward to it.
Xie Chengyue was a little nervous, and the three of them arrived at school in the same car.
Two years ago, Shen Wan sent Shen Baili to high school, and two years later, she and Xie Chengyue sat in their daughter's seat together.
Time flies so fast. Shen Wan looked around and saw that they were all parents of her classmates. Some came alone, some came with two parents, and some neither of their parents came.
Meng Jiuan's parents also attended their son's parents' meeting. Since it concerns their son, both of them attach great importance to it.
The same thing happened to Ji Qi's parents, who also came as a group.
Among the three, only Lu Mingqian's family situation is more complicated, and his parents are also very strange.
Mr. Lu thought it was shameful that his son was always the runner-up, so he refused to attend and did not allow Mrs. Lu to attend his parents' meeting. He only sent an old housekeeper.
Although Mr. Lu was obsessed with being the first, he himself was as stupid as a pig. His academic performance was always at the bottom of the class and he went to a fake university abroad.
He is such a fool, yet he demands that his son must come first.
When Lu Mingqian grew up, he realized that they were just looking for an excuse to exert authority over him.
As soon as Meng Jiuan and Ji Qi saw the old housekeeper, they knew that Mr. and Mrs. Lu were doing something outrageous again.
Ji Qi suppressed his anger and raised his head again with a brighter voice: "Would you like to go to the canteen? I'll buy you a soda!"
"Today's consumption will be paid by... by Master Meng."
A question mark slowly popped up in Meng Jiuan's mind, and he turned around and asked sincerely: "Good brother, shouldn't Mr. Ji pay for all the consumption in the canteen?"
Ji Qi put his arm around his shoulders and said very naturally, "I've used up all my pocket money this month. I'll treat you next month."
"Brothers, we are one family. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine."
Meng Jiuan punched him: "Family, I want your limited edition, Luffy."
Ji Qi said cheerfully, "Okay, put it in my room first, you can come and play anytime."
The two of them talked back and forth, as if they were performing a crosstalk.
Lu Mingqian: “…”
He put his hands around the two men, locked their necks and walked forward: "Let's go."
"I don't want soda, I want the most expensive ice cream!"
Meng Jiuan and Ji Qi: "Of course."
The three of them turned around and asked the three girls standing by the window: "Friends, are we going to the canteen?"
"I'll treat you." Meng Jiuan took the initiative.
Ji Qi and Lu Mingqian: "Yes, he's treating!"
Shen Baili reluctantly turned her eyes away from the classroom: "I want to eat the most expensive ice cream too!"
Qiao Yi and Ruan Mian said in unison: "Me too!"
Meng Jiuan: "Okay."
The group walked towards the canteen.
Parents sat up straight in the classroom and students found their own activities.
…
The atmosphere in the classroom was harmonious, with Shen Wan and Xie Chengyue at the center of attention.
Not only because of their excellent looks and temperament, but also because of Shen Baili, who is considered an outstanding child by other parents.
"You are Shen Baili's mother, right? You look so alike. You are both so beautiful."
"Dad is handsome, mom is beautiful, no wonder Shen Baili is so outstanding, it turns out it's genetic."
"How did you raise your children to be so outstanding? Is there any method?"
“Does your child attend extracurricular tutoring classes? Can you recommend a tutor?”
…
Shen Wan was surprised by their enthusiasm. She smiled and said, "The child is very good. She is smart, brave and self-disciplined..."
Suishun has many, many advantages, but Shen Wan did not list them one by one, and she did not claim any credit.
In her opinion, all the achievements Shen Baili has made now are the result of her hard work.
As a mother, all she gave was support and encouragement.
Ji Qi's mother said, "You are too modest. Thanks to Sui Sui, our Ji Qi's grades have improved rapidly this semester."
季啓第一次考進了全校前50名，讓季家大震驚，他們沒有懷疑兒子作弊，畢竟孩子的努力他們都看在眼裏。
孟母認同：“對，多虧了沈白梨同學，我們家小□□這個學期認真了很多，也是第一次考出了這麽好的成績。”
學習氛圍很重要，要不然古代孟母三千呢？
孟母真心感謝沈白梨。
陸家的老管家聽着他們的對話，有些傷感。
陸家耽誤了陸鳴謙這麽好的孩子，可他只是管家，無權幹涉雇主家的私事，只能盡微薄之力對那個孩子好一點。
沈婉從容應對：“孩子們都很争氣。”
“只要他們想學，任何時候都不晚，努力和堅持會得到回報。”
這不是雞湯，是沈婉內心真實想法。
在沈白梨成長的過程中，她沒有幹涉很多，給予了她肆意成長的空間。
就比如說，沈白梨想要創業，沈婉沒有忽視孩子的想法，而是和她平等的交流。
在确認沈白梨決心後，沈婉給予了全力支持。
她相信女兒，相信她的決心和能力。
事實證明，沈婉想法的确是正确的。
沈婉從沈白梨很小的時候就知道了，女兒很特別，她特別聰明、獨立、勇敢，敢想敢做，敢于付出和收獲。
歲歲是特別的。
沈婉很驕傲，她真心覺得女兒很優秀。
謝承越坐在妻子的旁邊，沒有争奪她的話語權。
他給予她充分發揮的空間，在她誇獎女兒的時候，時不時點頭表示認同。
在沈婉說累了的時候，他默默給她遞水。
謝承越的反應，被很多家長都看在眼裏，理科一班的家長們不乏有豪門圈子裏的，他們震驚于沈婉和謝承越相處的細節，震驚于普通人出身的母女融入了頂級豪門。
其實早在很早之前，謝家在各種公開場合已經承認了沈婉和沈白梨，只不過這些遠遠沒有自己親眼看見讓人震撼。
家長們相互交流，傾聽鄧老師對學生們高三的規劃，不知不覺，持續了快兩個小時的家長會接近尾聲了。
謝承越和沈婉臉上都帶着笑意，她們聽着老師誇獎女兒，聽着學生家長誇獎女兒。
在她們心中，再怎麽誇獎沈白梨都不為過。
沈白梨值得所有的誇獎和榮耀。
經過兩年的相處，謝承越早就已經将沈白梨當做親生女兒看待了。
人心都是肉長的，沈婉和沈白梨對謝家的付出他看在眼裏，記在心裏，并且回以實質回報。
她們是一家人，那麽謝家人該有的，她們也會有。
謝承越一生經歷太多，承諾和人心會變，但自身的本領會随着人生閱歷的積累不斷增加，他能留給沈婉母女的不僅僅只有金錢，還會教給她們守住金錢、創造價值的手段。
她們很聰明好學，學得也很好，作為老師的謝承越很欣慰。
謝流筝也同樣如此，這些她同樣一起學。
謝家的女孩不僅是公主，更是自己世界的女王，她們能夠擁有很多財富，也需要擁有守住財富和全力的本領。
這是從段行那裏吸取到的教訓，謝承越從不自大。
*****
家長會結束了。
沈白梨她們剛好從操場上回來，吃好玩好了，再各自找各自的家長。
她在人群中，一眼就發現了她媽，還有她媽旁邊的謝承越。
沈婉摸了摸她的額頭，全都是汗水：“玩得開心嗎？”
謝承越從口袋裏拿出手帕，遞給沈婉。
“好玩。”沈白梨乖乖讓媽媽幫她擦汗。
“你們家長會好玩嗎？”
沈婉笑着點頭：“好玩，好多人誇我們歲歲呢。”
“媽媽可驕傲了。”
沈白梨雙手捧着臉蛋：“嘿嘿我就是這麽優秀啦。”
季啓在旁邊忍不住插話：“厚臉皮歲歲。”
“這就是我啊！”沈白梨直接道：“厚臉皮也是優點，我就當你誇我了。”
“你也很厚臉皮。”沈白梨回以相同的誇獎詞。
季啓微笑：“我謝謝你。”
沈白梨：“不客氣。”
謝承越揉了揉沈白梨的發頂，雖然沈白梨長到了一米六三，但在高大威武的謝承越面前，仍然是個活潑的小孩。
“歲歲很厲害，不用謙虛。”謝承越的聲音很溫和，帶着不容置喙的氣勢。
孩子該誇就得誇。
季啓不好意思地摸了摸頭：“謝叔叔說得對。”
“歲歲就是很厲害，她是最好的歲歲，最好的班長。”喬伊也忍不住了，她繼續補充道：“歲歲是我最好的朋友。”
沈白梨開心道：“對。我就是最好的歲歲，伊伊是我最好的朋友。”
沈白梨成長得更加的自信，更加的耀眼。
“歲歲，你餓了嗎？”謝承越看了眼時間，快到飯點了。
沈白梨誠實點頭，她的運動量大，飯量也很大：“餓了。”
“我們去食堂吃飯吧，我跟你們說食堂的清蒸魚和粉蒸排骨超級好吃，你們一定要試試！！！”
“好啊。”沈婉和謝承越立刻答應下來，他們挺想體驗一下學校食堂的。
……
此時，孟九安在校門口，剛送父母離開。
孟父和孟母挺忙的，百忙之中抽出時間參加孟九安的家長會，他們很看重兒子的成長。
“晚上見。”
陸鳴謙和季啓也在校門口，和孟九安一樣的理由，送家長離開校園。
老管家慈祥地看着陸鳴謙：“少爺，好好吃飯，好好照顧好自己。”
陸鳴謙道：“好，我會照顧好自己的。”
“那我們去吃飯吧。”季啓摸了摸空空的肚子：“我餓了。”
“同意！”孟九安舉雙手贊成：“我們回教室叫歲歲她們一起？”
陸鳴謙：“這個點，她們應該早在食堂了。”
天大地大，吃飯最大。
“對噢，那我們直接去食堂？”季啓恍然大悟。
孟九安一蹦，蹦到了陸鳴謙的後背上：“出發！”
陸鳴謙差點一個踉跄：“大兄弟，你很重！”
季啓：“那背我吧，我比他輕五斤。”
陸鳴謙斯文地吐了兩個字：“滾蛋。”
……
三人到了食堂，沈白梨她們果然已經在食堂了。
沈白梨、喬伊和阮綿三個人，以及彼此的父母圍坐了一桌，沒有三個男生的位子了。
孟九安他們打餐回來，選了個就近的位子，和女孩們以及家長們打了聲招呼，然後安靜地吃飯，聽着她們聊天。
沈白梨這一桌也在安靜吃飯，偶爾聊天。
“這個粉蒸肉怎麽樣？”沈白梨極力推薦。
謝承越：“肉質新鮮，軟糯可口，很不錯。”
沈婉：“我也這麽覺得。”
她一邊反饋，一邊給女兒夾肉吃：“歲歲多吃點，最近都瘦了。”
沈白梨埋頭吃得很香。
“女孩子不能太瘦。”阮母也給阮綿夾菜：“綿綿也多吃點。”
喬伊的碗肉都快堆疊成山了，喬父一臉慈愛地看着女兒。
喬母同樣如此，她很愛女兒，也慶幸女兒在陌生的城市交到了好朋友，變得開心了。
喬家是開了好幾家連鎖超市，收益可觀，但沒有夠上豪門圈子，他們不知道謝承越的身份，但根據她們的談吐，可以看得出來，女兒的朋友家裏非富即貴。
但他們沒想着攀附，不會讓孩子們的友誼摻雜大人間的利益關系，正常交往就好。
謝承越覺得很新奇，他沒有參加過家長會，只因為謝聽肆去過幾次校長室。
他每次去完校長室，謝聽肆回家都得挨打，謝知聿偶爾斡旋，偶爾參與到家長揍人的環節裏，謝聽肆就會喜提父親和大哥混合雙打。
謝家實行放養式教育，但他們有底線，一旦越過那個線，就會得到嚴厲的懲罰。
謝家的情感交流很匮乏，他們之間的愛沉默無聲，付出得多，但說得很少。
謝流筝在這樣的環境長大，容易被不一樣的愛所感動。
段行就是如此，一開始做得多說得也多，後來做得少說得依舊很多。
這不意味着謝承越他們不愛家人，相反他們很在乎很愛家人，只是不會表達。
在商場上叱咤風雲的大人物們，回到家裏，卻變得寡言少語。
沈白梨和沈婉的到來，打破了謝家人固化的情感交流方式，家庭氛圍不知不覺變得溫馨可愛起來。
也許在外人看來，沈白梨和沈婉能夠進入謝家是她們的幸運，但這何嘗又不是謝家的幸運呢？
就這麽幸福下去吧。
謝承越看着沈婉和沈白梨，眼神柔和，帶着愛意。
午餐結束，沈白梨揉了揉吃飽的肚子，一臉餍足。
她和謝承越的感受類似，她也覺得很幸福。
謝承越覺得參加家長會很新奇和幸福，這對沈白梨來說，何嘗不是如此呢？
沈白梨是一個懂得知足的人兒，她上輩子沒有擁有父愛母愛也沒有家人的關愛，這輩子能夠擁有媽媽的愛，她覺得很幸福。
她不再期盼父愛。
當謝承越和沈婉一起參加她的家長會的時候，沈白梨仍然感到溫暖和感動。
她們一家人，一直幸福下去吧。
下午正常上課，家長們準備離開了。
“歲歲，廁所在哪裏？”沈婉肚子有些不舒服。
"Over there." Shen Baili pointed to a place not far away: "Go that way and you will arrive after turning a corner."
She held her mother's hand and said, "Let's go together."
Shen Baili had never experienced going to the toilet holding hands with her mother, so she was very excited.
Shen Wan handed the bag to Xie Chengyue: "Honey, wait here for a while."
Xie Chengyue nodded and took the lady's bag in his hand: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
The mother and daughter walked hand in hand on the campus.
Su Bowen was standing in the corridor of the classroom. He glanced down casually and saw a familiar figure. He was stunned.
When Su Yan came out of the classroom, she saw Su Bowen who was in a daze. She looked down in the direction of his gaze but saw nothing.
"Dad, what are you looking at?"
Su Bowen came back to his senses and covered up by saying, "I was looking at the flowers and plants to relax my eyes."
"Yanyan, go have dinner with your friends. Dad is going to the company first and will come to pick you up in the evening." He was a little anxious in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
Su Yan had no doubts: "Then let's go downstairs together."
Su Bowen: "It's okay, I'll go that way."
"There will be too many people in the cafeteria later, so it will be inconvenient to dine." Su Bowen patted her shoulder gently.
Su Yan: "Okay, then Dad, be careful on the road, and we'll see you in the evening."
Su Bowen said gently: "Okay, see you tonight."
After separating from Su Yan, Su Bowen did not go directly to the school gate, but turned around and chased in the direction where the familiar figure had just disappeared.
He walked through the dense camphor trees, stepping on the butterfly-like light and shadows on the ground, trying to catch up with the figure.
The man's footsteps became faster and faster.
Is it her? Is it Shen Wan?
Su Bowen thought he had forgotten the name, but when he saw the familiar figure, Shen Wan's name suddenly appeared in his mind.
He felt guilty and he repented.
Su Bowen did not forget them, nor did he forget Shen Wan and their lovely daughter.
He was anxious, wanting to find them, but also afraid of actually finding them.
Disappeared, her figure disappeared.
How could it be Shen Wan?
Su Bowen sighed, feeling both relieved and sad.
The fate of their family had ended long ago.
Su Bowen felt that he was out of his mind. He clearly knew that his ex-wife and daughter had left Haicheng and gone to another city.
Just as he himself had a new family, Shen Wan and Su Li also had a new beginning.
Suli, his daughter, may have changed her last name and got a new father.
He was sorry to Shen Wan and her daughter. Su Bowen lived a happy life and sincerely hoped that they would be happy too.
People are selfish. Su Bowen stood there and quickly convinced himself.
The scorching sun shining on him made him sober and not dwell on the past.
Su Bowen turned around decisively, strode forward, and then... stopped abruptly.
He blinked, thinking it was a bubble illusion.
Not far away, under the green ivy wall, Shen Wan was standing there, her eyes full of charm.
She hasn't changed over the years.
Su Bowen seemed to have returned to many years ago, when he first met Shen Wan.
The sunny and bright girl appeared before his eyes, and Su Bowen was attracted by her at first sight.
He was the one who fell in love at first sight that year, and he was also the one who abandoned her.
"Wanwan" Su Bowen blurted out, he was not sure and did not dare to recognize her.
Shen Wan just glanced at him indifferently, glanced at him, and left.
No talking, no communication.
There was no emotion at all, it was like seeing a completely different stranger.
Su Bowen's legs seemed to have taken root, deeply embedded in the ground, and he just looked at Shen Wan's back.
His lips moved slightly.
"sorry."
Shen Wan did not stop.
