Chapter 166 Why force me?
It turns out it was for Fu Siyu.
It was unexpected, yet not unexpected at all.
"What did I do to him?" Shen Qingshu chuckled. "Don't make it sound like I abused him."
“Siyu is actually very sensitive.” Fu Siyu’s tone was slightly helpless. “Shen Qingshu, I know you have resentment towards me and Zhou Yuchu, but Siyu is innocent.”
Shen Qingshu looked at him coldly, "Fu Siyu is innocent? Then does that mean my son deserves it?!"
That's not what I meant.
Fu Siyan frowned. "I know you have grievances in your heart. You can do whatever you want to me, but could you please show him some care for the sake of Siyu's biological father?"
Calmly and gently, she relaxed her furrowed brow.
Fu Siyan truly deserves to be called a top-notch lawyer.
When they couldn't persuade her, they even brought up Fu Siyu's heroic father!
“Fu Siyan, I respect heroes, but I am just a mother who has lost her son. I am narrow-minded and cannot understand or empathize with your great love!”
"I can only manage not to hold a grudge against Fu Siyu, that's the limit. But you want me to treat him like my own child? I can't do that!"
"You don't need to treat him like your own child; just give him some care."
“I can’t do hypocritical things.” Shen Qingshu looked at him, her expression still indifferent. “If you need a stepmother who knows how to care for his feelings, I think Ni Yutian is a good choice.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan's face darkened. "Shen Qingshu, Ni Yutian is just a childcare worker I hired."
"Since there's a professional childcare worker taking care of him, why are you forcing me to do the same?"
“You are different to Siyu.”
"That's just your assumption. The facts prove that my four-year absence had no impact on Fu Siyu."
Fu Siyan pursed his lips, his dark eyes fixed on her.
"Since you don't really want to give the shares to Xiao Anning, then forget about them."
Shen Qingshu put the shares back on the table and turned to leave, but Fu Siyan reached out and grabbed her.
"I originally intended to give the shares to Xiao Anning."
Fu Siyan picked up the document and handed it to Shen Qingshu, saying, "You keep it for her."
Shen Qingshu looked up at him, "Do you really care about Xiao Anning? Is this what you call fatherly love? Giving her five percent of the shares and letting her mother care about the son of her enemy? Fu Siyan, you don't deserve to be Xiao Anning's father!"
Fu Siyan was left speechless by the questioning.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "It was my oversight. If you were concerned about Siyu, just pretend I didn't say anything. Keep the shares."
Shen Qingshu scoffed, "If you're really sincere, just give her 10% of the shares directly, and don't impose any conditions."
Fu Siyan stared at her.
Her attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
The man's eyes were deep. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, ten percent, no strings attached."
"Okay, give it to me when you've drafted the new shareholding statement."
Shen Qingshu shook off his hand and walked straight out the door.
Passing by the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw the ink painting that Fu Siyan had forced her to complete four years ago.
She glanced at it briefly, then walked away without stopping.
Fu Siyan stared at her back until she left the study.
The man raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
In the quiet study, a helpless sigh seemed to echo.
…
The next day, Wen Jingxi drove to pick up Shen Qingshu and Xiao Anning early in the morning.
Today they are going to choose a new kindergarten for Xiao Anning.
Tan Yiyi followed them.
After comparing the three options, Shen Qingshu finally chose the one closest to her studio.
I specifically communicated with the dean; Xiao Anning needs a tutor.
Tan Yiyi is Xiao Anning's study companion.
Most of these elite kindergartens are quite humane; generally, accompanying children to class doesn't interfere with their regular attendance, and the kindergarten usually agrees to this arrangement.
Since Xiao Anning had just arrived in the new environment, Shen Qingshu considered that she might not adapt well, so she decided to let her go to the new kindergarten in three days.
After registering, Shen Qingshu took Tan Yiyi and Xiao Anning to the studio.
Even after four years away, the studio is still operating normally.
When she first left, she lost a small number of her old customers, but business has only slowly improved in the last two years.
When Shen Qingshu returned with Xiao Anning, the studio staff were extremely excited!
Upon seeing Xiao Anning, the employees all praised her for being adorable and saying she looked a lot like Shen Qingshu.
Xiao Anning is a social butterfly; she's not shy at all around unfamiliar aunts and uncles.
Wen Jingxi hugged her and introduced her to everyone. Afterward, he took Xiao Anning to see the golden retriever.
The golden retriever puppy from four years ago has grown into a large, mature dog.
That tiny doghouse was no longer big enough for it.
Lu Xiaohan cleared out a storage room for it to live in alone.
As if sensing something, A Yuan wagged her tail happily when she saw Xiao Anning.
Wen Jingxi didn't let Xiao Anning touch the dog, fearing she might be allergic to dog hair.
"It looks like an honest person!"
A-Yuan: "Woof woof!"
“It was raised by your mother. When it first came back, it was a little puppy and it was very attached to your mother.”
"Why didn't Mom take it with her when she left?"
“Because Mom was pregnant with you at the time!” Wen Jingxi rubbed the little girl’s head. “In order to take good care of you, she had no choice but to leave A Yuan behind.”
"Oh, poor A-Yuan!"
A Yuan looked at Xiao Anning, seemingly understanding her words, and barked at her twice, sticking out her tongue.
Xiao Anning liked it very much and started talking to it.
The little girl was very talkative, and A Yuan responded to almost every word she said.
Wen Jingxi looked on and exclaimed with a smile, "The genes they inherited are so comprehensive! The mother and daughter can actually communicate with A Yuan without any problems!"
-
In the office, Shen Qingshu looked around at the familiar surroundings and sighed, "Four years later, nothing has changed here."
“I come in every day to tidy up and clean, and I always feel that you will definitely come back someday, Sister Qingshu.”
Lu Xiaohan looked at Shen Qingshu and burst into tears, saying, "Sister Qingshu, I thought we would never see each other again in this lifetime!"
Shen Qingshu looked at her eyes, which were smudged from crying, and said with some helplessness, "I had unavoidable reasons before, so I didn't dare to contact you for the past four years."
“I know.” Lu Xiaohan took out a few tissues to wipe her tears. “Teacher Wen has come back a few times. I asked him, and he said you are doing well, but he is afraid that Attorney Fu will cause trouble, so he can’t tell us too much.”
Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "I'm fine now. I'll be staying in Beicheng for a while."
"That's great!" Lu Xiaohan exclaimed happily. "Then I can see you every day again!"
Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "It's been four years, and you still haven't had a boyfriend?"
“I dated one, and we just broke up last month.” Lu Xiaohan became furious at the mention of her ex. “His family has a throne to inherit! When I went home to meet his parents, they said I had to get pregnant and have a son before we could get married!”
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Is this outrageous?"
"Yeah!" Lu Xiaohan sniffed. "But I didn't let them get away with it. I flipped the table right there and then, grabbed the souvenirs I bought, and left!"
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good, as long as I didn't suffer any humiliation or loss."
…
Shen Qingshu handed Xiao Anning over to Tan Yiyi and Lu Xiaohan, and she and Wen Jingxi went to meet someone.
A white Range Rover drove away from the studio building.
Ten minutes later, we stopped at a private teahouse.
An elderly man dressed in a dark gray Zhongshan suit walked out of the teahouse.
"Miss Shen, Teacher Wen, our Seventh Master has arrived. I will lead you both inside."
Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi followed the old man into the teahouse.
Not far away, inside a black private car, a man took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. Fu, it seems that the person Madam and Wen Jingxi are looking for is Seventh Master..."
