On the day she returned to the Shen family home, Shen Jiahao was not there.
Zhong Yan went to a beauty salon.
Even Li Hongxia rarely took Shen Xu out for some fresh air.
Inside the huge villa, only Shen Yurong sat on the living room sofa, playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) on his phone with nothing to do.
Upon hearing from the servants that the Second Madam, Gao Muyun, had returned, Shen Yurong didn't even lift his eyelids.
He looked down on Gao Muyun from the bottom of his heart.
They never treated her with the respect due to an elder.
Gao Muyun, however, seemed to have long been accustomed to this.
Seeing Shen Yurong on the sofa, she greeted him cautiously in a low voice, "Yurong, so you're home..."
"If I'm not staying at my own house, am I supposed to stay at yours?" Shen Yurong retorted bluntly, "Not everyone likes to run into other people's houses and take over their nests."
Shen Yurong deliberately emphasized the last four words.
Gao Muyun couldn't refute it, so she could only smile awkwardly.
Shen Xinxing was about to retort, but Shen Xinrou stopped him: "Xinxing! Don't be impulsive. You're better now that you're sick, let's not make a fuss, okay?"
Shen Xinxing looked down and saw that Shen Xinrou's eyes were filled with tears and an obvious pleading look.
She knew that they had never had the right to speak in this family.
For over twenty years, her mother, Gao Muyun, had endured everything, never daring to show any ambition. She also repeatedly tolerated the difficulties posed by the First Madam and the Old Madam.
Only in this way can they protect their two children and let them grow up under the protection of the Shen family.
But at some point, Shen Xinrou noticed that her younger brother, Shen Xinxing, was no longer satisfied with this.
She even felt that she was starting to not understand her younger brother anymore.
Every single thing Shen Xinxing did in secret was enough to keep her up all night.
Shen Xinrou is timid.
She was scared.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect his mother or his younger brother.
In the end, they couldn't even protect themselves...
...
Looking at my gentle older sister and my weak and incompetent mother, and recently, the increasing number of high-ranking officials' children coming to visit and submit petitions.
Shen Xinxing knew perfectly well that some things he couldn't wait any longer!
...
Chen Fu is highly efficient and fast in handling matters.
After the cooperation with Lu's Enterprises was put on the agenda, an internal meeting was held.
Research, exploration, data comparison, and market research.
In just half a month, a near-perfect cooperation plan was devised.
Lu Chen flipped through the contract in his hand and found it impeccable.
Then look at Chen Fu, who is sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking very confident.
It's hard to imagine that just a month ago, this guy was still complaining that he couldn't understand the report documents.
Lu Chen did not hesitate for a moment.
He readily signed his name on it and extended his hand: "Pleasure doing business with you."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
After finishing with the contract, Shen Fu stood up to leave.
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"To pick up the child," Shen Fu replied. "School lets out early today, so I should go pick him up."
He hadn't forgotten the time when he was still Aman, he arrived late once. Ning Yanshu cried, tears and snot streaming down his face, feeling extremely wronged.
Lu Chen curled his lips and looked him up and down: "You seem to be quite used to your current role and life."
“Yes.” Shen Fu admitted directly, “I like this kind of life, and I also like the role of a father.”
A home that you create and play yourself, with loved ones and adorable children.
This is a desire that many people yearn for their entire lives but never attain.
Now that all these beautiful dreams have become reality, how could he not cherish them?
Shen Fu glanced at Lu Chen and asked in return, "Aren't you happy now?"
"Of course I'm happy!"
Although Ning Youping gave birth to the child safely, he still felt lingering fear whenever he recalled the perilous process.
Lu Chen still couldn't understand why he had been so bewitched as to want a child.
And then there were the things Ning You said to Ning Wan.
He doesn't mention it, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten.
Those seemingly outrageous and absurd words have always bothered him.
"Shen Fu," Lu Chen called out to him, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
Shen Fu looked at him with a "Are you crazy?" look.
"Or to put it another way, do you believe that people can be reborn?"
Seeing Lu Chen repeatedly asking similar questions, Shen Fu couldn't help but become serious.
He hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "If there are really people in this world who believe in these ghost stories, then are there any bad people left in the world?"
“Before retribution comes, no one believes in retribution. I’m the same.” Shen Fu pursed his lips and said emotionlessly, “I’ve never believed in any so-called past and present lives. Even if they exist, what does my past life have to do with my present life?”
"I am an independent individual. I do not belong to any particular era; I belong only to myself in the present moment!"
Even long after Shen Fu left the office, Lu Chen remained quietly seated in his office chair, lost in thought…
...
Shen Fu arrived at the kindergarten a little late.
Most of the people in the school have already left, one by one.
Ning Yanshu couldn't help but complain, "Dad is like a little turtle, so slow."
“I’m sorry, Dad admits his mistake.” Shen Fu’s smile deepened. “But Dad doesn’t admit to being a little turtle. If I were a big turtle, perhaps that would be acceptable.”
The father and son arrived at the school gate laughing and joking.
