Two weeks later, Shen Hua's condition improved.
On a sunny afternoon, Shen Yinan walked into the ward.
In the ward, Bai Xiuli was massaging Shen Hua's legs. When she saw him walk in, she greeted him with an unnatural expression: "You're here."
"Yeah." Shen Yinan nodded, his attitude polite and distant, "I have something to say to grandma, please go out first."
Bai Xiuli glanced at Chen Hua, who nodded, walked out and closed the door.
Shen Hua lay on the bed and coughed violently several times.
She was thinner than before, with sunken cheeks and wrinkles on her face that stretched like a winding mountain road.
The look he gave Ana Shen was still loving, but with a hint of helpless sadness: “Are you here today for your dad’s business?”
"Grandma, was it Shen Zhongcheng who bribed the truck driver to hit your car last time? The person who kidnapped me when I just returned to the Shen family was also Shen Zhongcheng, right? The person who followed me some time ago was also found by Shen Zhongcheng, right?" Shen Yinan looked into her eyes and asked.
Shen Hua avoided his gaze and sighed: "You already know everything, why are you still asking?"
"These things are not difficult truths to search for."
Shen Zhongcheng was so confident that he didn't even bother to cover it up, and it didn't take much effort to find out.
"I'm sorry, Nannan, it's grandma's fault." Shen Hua closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "It's because I couldn't manage my son well that you, your mother, and your brother were all implicated."
Shen Hua knew what Shen Zhongcheng had done.
It is because of knowing this that I become more depressed and haggard.
On the one hand, he felt guilty towards the other members of the Shen family and tried desperately to make amends; on the other hand, he couldn't bear to expose his own son's crimes.
Perhaps to outsiders, cutting the Gordian knot seems easy and labor-saving.
But it is the hardest for those who are in it to break free.
Ana Shen didn’t want to judge anyone’s right or wrong.
He stood in front of Shen Hua and expressed his thoughts word by word: "If grandma continues to protect him, then I will leave the Shen family." He paused, "Hongyu International and other industries can be managed by professional managers."
Shen Hua opened his eyes, his eye sockets were red, and his lips moved slightly.
She understood what her grandson meant. Even if Shen Yinan left the Shen family and left Hongyu, she would not let Shen Zhongcheng go.
She has lived to such an old age, experienced too many things, and made too many compromises for Shen Zhongcheng. Is she going to give up the family she found with great difficulty for Shen Zhongcheng this time?
The air seemed to be frozen and knotted.
Shen Yinan didn’t urge her, but just looked at Shen Hua quietly, waiting for her decision.
After a long time, Shen Hua sighed deeply: "If I have to choose between you and your father, then grandma chooses you."
She looked out.
Outside the window, the winter wind was blowing, and the bare branches were shaking the last fallen leaves.
Shen Hua murmured softly: "Maybe, I should have made this decision a long time ago."
“It’s not too late now.” Shen Yinan said.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and saw a hint of relief on each other's faces.
Shen Yinan is a person who is easily indecisive.
But fortunately, there is an advantage, that is, he will do whatever he decides to do.
…
When we walked out of the hospital, it was almost dark.
He was surprised to see Shen Yuzhen standing not far away, seemingly waiting for him to come out.
"elder brother."
Shen Yuzhen was holding a folder in his hand. During the ten seconds he walked over, the expression on his face gradually faded, and he finally stood in front of Shen Yinan.
As if I had made up my mind, I said to him, "I have something I want to tell you."
The two found a nearby bench and sat down.
Shen Yuzhen rubbed his hands, as if he didn't know how to start.
Every time he took a breath, passers-by interrupted his movements.
He clenched his fists and took several deep breaths before he finally spoke in the gradually darkening night: "Before, I was afraid that you would take my things."
"I'm afraid I'll become an unwanted bastard again, so I treat you as my enemy and target you. I think if you leave, I'll be safe and I can still be with my mother..."
"But during this time, in order to go home, I worked outside, shaking milk tea, and doing charity work... How should I put it... I have someone to take care of me, but you've always been alone."
Shen Yinan looked at the night, his voice calm: “What do you want to say?”
Shen Yuzhen lowered his head, his fingers knotted together: "It's just... I, I always thought it was you who stole my things, but I was wrong, you didn't steal them, I was the one who wanted to steal them from you, I'm so despicable."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuzhen turned his face, looked at Shen Yinan, and said solemnly: “I’m sorry, Shen Yinan.”
Shen Yinan was slightly stunned.
Having heard many insincere apologies, Shen Yinan could easily tell that Shen Yuzhen really wanted to apologize this time.
In the past, every time there was a small friction with Shen Yuzhen, Shen Yinan always thought that if the other party apologized, he would pretend that nothing had happened.
But at that time, every time Shen Yuzhen apologized, it was for the next attack.
And now, Shen Yinan finally heard Shen Yuzhen apologize in person.
But he found that he had not been looking forward to this thing for a long time.
He no longer needs to rely on others to prove his existence and being needed.
So, he looked at Shen Yuzhen calmly and said, “I won’t say ‘it’s okay’.”
…
When Xue Du drove to the hospital entrance, he easily found Shen Yinan in the crowd.
The boy was wearing a white down jacket, wrapped tightly in it, but his exposed face was still red due to the low temperature.
Seeing the car, Ana Shen walked over quickly, opened the door and got in.
The temperature in the car was suitable, and Shen Yinan took off his coat, only to find that Chi Xingyao was there too.
Chi Xingyao turned her head and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"I had someone sort out the information before I came here. I expect to prosecute Shen Zhongcheng next month. I'll give him a combined sentence of 20 years for all crimes."
Shen Yinan lowered his head and let Xue Du untie his scarf.
After staying outside for a while, his hands became cold, so Xue Du naturally reached out his hand and wrapped it around his to keep him warm.
"Isn't it about Chen Zhongcheng?" Chi Xingyao leaned closer, her eyebrows furrowed in worry, "Chen Yu is really not angry with you, right? Although he seems to be a little normal recently, I always feel that he will do something bad."
“No.” Shen Yinan handed over the folder at hand.
Chi Xingyao took it and opened it, and found that it was Hongyu's equity transfer agreement. Shen Yuzhen had already signed the bottom line.
Chi Xingyao was puzzled: "This is... the shares you gave to Shen Yuzhen when you first returned to the Shen family? Did he return it to you?"
“Yeah.” Shen Yinan nodded.
"He's been possessed by another body?" Chi Xingyao's face was full of disbelief.
Shen Yinan shook his head.
Although it originally belonged to him, Shen Yinan did not expect it to be returned to him.
Maybe he really figured it out, or maybe he knew that Shen Yinan’s control over the Shen family was a foregone conclusion, so he did this to show his sincerity.
But what his real purpose was, Shen Yinan no longer cared.
He glanced at his watch.
"It's getting late, go take care of another matter."
