Chapter 73 Return to the Millennium to Torture Phoenix Man 16 Peeping
Fang Lan was also worried about Shen Qian's marital status, but he also understood that women were most vulnerable at this time. The fact that she was willing to take her daughter back to her parents' home showed that she still believed that her parents' home was her support.
She was afraid that Shen Shiguo might say something wrong and make her daughter angry and run away again.
Shen Shiguo didn't care: "Qianqian is not the kind of person you said she is. You don't know, she may be patient now..."
When he got to this point, he saw Fang Lan's confused expression, so he stopped talking and changed the subject: "Hey, don't worry, your daughter will be fine."
In fact, Shen Shiguo had long expected that the couple would have a quarrel, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon, and that they would bring Zhizhi back with them.
When Shen Qian told him about his transformation plan, he realized that neither he, Fang Lan, nor even Chen Shifeng looked down on Shen Qian.
Her ideas are quite advanced and have great commercial value. A woman with such ideas will not allow herself to waste time in a failed marriage.
However, since Fang Lan was so nervous, Shen Shiguo remained patient and did not ask any questions. He just told the servants to take good care of him.
What Shen Shiguo didn't expect was that he couldn't help but ask, but Shen Qian came to his study room that night when she returned to her parents' home and took the initiative to talk about her marriage problems with Chen Shifeng.
"Dad, there's something I want you to be mentally prepared for. I'm planning to divorce Chen Shifeng."
"Oh..." Shen Shiguo's tone was somewhat meaningful, and he didn't seem too surprised.
"I know that in your heart you already regard Chen Shifeng as your own son, but he and I are not suitable. I shouldn't have disobeyed you and Mom and married him. Now I have thought it through. He and I are not from the same world. Shen Ji, I will make achievements as soon as possible to prove my ability to you. As for the Shen Family Restaurant, I hope you will reconsider the candidate for successor."
Shen Shiguo had mixed feelings. He had indeed hoped that his daughter would be able to be independent and take over his business, but what was the use of wishing? It seemed as if his daughter had wasted her time at university. She only wanted to get married and have children, and she devoted her heart to her family. She had no interest in a career at all.
Now that my daughter has finally shown an interest in pursuing a career, she is getting divorced again.
"Have you made up your mind about this? Think about it carefully. Marriage is not a joke, and you have a child. It's not that we can't afford to support you and Zhizhi. Of course the Shen family can support you. But you have to understand that a divorced woman with a child, even if you are my daughter, will have a discount when she re-enters the marriage market..."
"I've made up my mind. I have no interest in remarrying. I just want to pursue my career and raise Zhizhi well."
"Well, since you've figured it out, I won't say much. Tomorrow, I'll have Attorney Cai from our company contact you. There are a lot of things to prepare for a divorce, including property division and child custody. I'm afraid there's still some work to be done."
"Well, I understand, but I will formally file for divorce after the renovation of "Yueweidao" is completed. I told you in advance so that you and Mom can be mentally prepared."
Shen Shiguo thought of Fang Lan and felt that she might not agree, so he said, "I'll talk to your mother for you, you don't have to worry, but you have to take care of Chen Shifeng's situation."
"I see."
Shen Qian certainly understood what Shen Shiguo meant. Chen Shifeng had spent all his time and energy on the Shen family restaurant in recent years, and his father wanted to give his son-in-law some compensation. However, he didn't know what Chen Shifeng had done in private, nor did he know that in the original book, he was so angry that he died after accidentally hearing those things.
If he knew, he would definitely not be willing to give Chen Shifeng a penny.
Shen Qian knew it, so she was unwilling to give a penny.
The divorce she wanted was one in which the property and custody rights were cut off completely, Chen Shifeng and Shen's Restaurant were also cut off completely, and he and the relatives he arranged to work in the company all had to get out!
However, in order to convince the company's shareholders, Shen Qian must show some results, and there is one thing she must wait for. She must get the key evidence of Chen Shifeng's cheating before she can formally file for divorce.
The book does not actually give a very clear timeline for this part, only saying that Shen Shiguo's death was related to the discovery of Chen Shifeng's misconduct.
Initially, he only realized that Chen Shifeng wanted to completely take over the Shen Family Restaurant and claim it as his own, which made him very sad. But the real fatal blow was that he asked someone to investigate Chen Shifeng, but unexpectedly discovered that he actually had another family outside!
This is the real reason why Shen Shiguo was angry to death in the original book. Not to mention that he chose the wrong successor, what hurt him the most was that his daughter married the wrong person!
He was so angry and neglected to exercise that he didn't realize he had been ill for a long time, which led to his death from sudden cardiac death.
Since in the original book, Shen Shiguo was able to discover that Chen Shifeng was cheating a few months later, then at this time he had either already cheated or was on the way to cheating. In any case, Shen Qian had already hired a private detective to investigate secretly. As long as he went out to cheat, he would definitely be caught.
So Shen Qian took her daughter and settled down in the Shen family.
At first, Chen Qian thought Zhizhi might not be used to it. After all, she didn't come here often, and it was not easy for a child of this age to adapt to a new environment.
In addition, Zhizhi was quite resistant to living in the school dormitory before, so Shen Qian thought that she might need some time to adapt.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhizhi adapted so quickly, and compared to at home, Zhizhi seemed more comfortable at her grandparents' house.
Fang Lan likes this granddaughter very much. She looks very much like Shen Qian when she was a child. When she gave birth to her daughter, the Shen family's catering business was in full swing. Soon after she was discharged from confinement, she went to the restaurant to help. The child was raised by her mother-in-law and the servants at home.
This incident is also a regret in Fang Lan's heart. Although the mother and daughter get along well now, there is still a gap between them.
Now that Chen Qian has brought Zhizhi back, Fang Lan is worried, but more of a happy person, and thinks of ways to make delicious food for Chen Zhizhi every day.
Zhizhi is also quite sensible. Although she is introverted, she quickly became familiar with her grandmother. Sometimes Fang Lan even doesn't let Shen Qian pick her up from school, and she takes the car to pick up her granddaughter after school.
Shen Shiguo was even happier. Zhizhi was simply his happy pill. After she knew that her grandfather was not in good health, she took over her mother's job, watching him go out for a walk every day, and would take the initiative to accompany him out after dinner after school.
This made Shen Shiguo smile from ear to ear every day.
He has been a grandfather for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has had such deep feelings. He feels that blood is really a magical thing.
That day, he said to Fang Lan with emotion, "Actually, it would be great if the Shen Family Restaurant could be handed over to Qianqian in the future. If Zhizhi is interested, she can continue to run it."
Fang Lan glanced at him and said, "Stop having these unrealistic fantasies. Zhizhi is still young."
After a while, she added, "If you really want them to divorce, just hand over Shen's Restaurant to Qianqian. Chen Shifeng will definitely not do that."
Shen Shiguo smiled and said, "Actually, divorce is not a big deal."
Fang Lan's face darkened. "Don't talk nonsense. If Qianqian really gets divorced, what will happen to Zhizhi? Won't she become a child from a single-parent family?"
Shen Shiguo: "If they really can't live together and are unhappy with it, will Zhizhi be fine? Didn't you see how Zhizhi's eyes were swollen from crying when she first came that day? If that family loves Zhizhi so much, how could they let her be so sad?"
Fang Lan was silent. She didn't ask that day, but later she learned from Zhizhi the reason why her daughter had a quarrel and ran away from home that day.
At that moment, she was also very angry in her heart. Her daughter and granddaughter were treated like this in that family. At that moment, she also thought in her heart, is there really a need for such a marriage to continue?
But she didn't say it in front of her husband.
"Okay, just stop talking. All we can do is stay out of it."
Seeing Fang Lan's unclear attitude, Shen Shiguo stopped trying to persuade him for the time being, fearing that saying too much would have the opposite effect, and decided to try again another day.
After settling his daughter, Shen Qian put all his energy into the development of "Cantonese Flavor".
The upgrade of Chen Ji's store is still going on. At this time, the renovation has entered the final stage. Zhao Li called and said, "Miss, recently there are always people coming to the outside of the store to inquire about our Chen Ji's upgrade and renovation plan. What do you think..."
"What kind of person is he?"
"The people who come here are different every time, but they all like to ask questions and look around."
Shen Qian sneered and said, "Don't worry about it. Just use the same words to dismiss all those who come to ask."
Shen Qian could guess without even asking anyone to investigate that the people sent to inquire were most likely the Chen brothers. It was normal for them to be interested in Shen Ji. After all, her current movements could not be concealed no matter how hard they tried.
After Shen Ji completes the transformation and the new brand "Yueweidao" is exposed, their interest in her will reach its peak.
Shen Qian's attitude towards this fly that was spying secretly was to ignore it.
Today, the incubation of "Yueweidao" is a natural thing that cannot be easily stopped by Chen Shifeng or Chen Shiming.
Moreover, the store that was originally planned was just the tip of the iceberg. Her real layout was the entire South China, indeed, and even the national chain restaurant brands. Even if they stood guard at the door of the store day and night, what could they see?
In fact, Shen Qian guessed wrong. The people sent to spy were not the Chen brothers, but Chen Shiming's wife Fu Xiangrong.
Ever since Chen Qian returned to her parents' home, Fu Xiangrong had been somewhat gloating, but she soon realized that something was wrong.
In his previous life, Shen Qian did not take over Shen Ji, nor did he renovate Shen Ji. Until the end, Chen Shifeng took over Shen's Restaurant and caused it to go bankrupt, Shen Ji did not carry out any store renovation.
Fu Xiangrong remembered that the shop was finally sold to a shop owner from another place at a low price. Later, Chen Shiming regretted it very much. In the future, this area of land would be very valuable. If one could own an ordinary house, he could easily be worth millions, not to mention a shop in this area. If his family could save some money and take over this shop in advance, even if he didn't do business, he could become a multi-millionaire by keeping it.
So even though Fu Xiangrong had no interest in Shen Ji, she remembered that the current direction was different from that of her previous life, which made her very confused and a little worried.
Could it be that she asked Chen Shiming to persuade Chen Shifeng to buy an electric oven, which led to many changes in his life?
No... No matter how things change, she has lived a new life. She believes that as long as she uses a little trick, their family will definitely live a much better life in this life than in the previous one, and her daughter Chen Xiaojuan will also benefit from it.
But in order to reassure herself, Fu Xiangrong asked several people to investigate in front of Chen Ji's shop, but they failed to find any results.
The people who were sent only said that the outside of the store was fenced off and anyone who wanted to go in to take a look was stopped. From what they could see, the inside was undergoing a complete renovation and it was said that all the materials had been removed, so it was estimated that the renovation would be very extensive.
Fu Xiangrong couldn't figure out what was going on after hearing this. After all, she was just a housewife in her previous life and had never worked or done business. She just thought that the Shen family was indeed rich, as they would go to so much trouble to renovate such a shabby store.
She even felt a little sorry for the money. After all, Shen Shiguo would die suddenly soon, and at that time, all the property of the Shen family would fall into the hands of the Chen family bit by bit. The more money she spent now, the less her family would get in the future.
