Chapter 166 Raising a child for someone else? Unless he can't.
Shen Que didn't even care about being stepped on by her, he just stared deeply at the girl in front of him with his black eyes.
He didn't know how Meng Zhiyi knew that Jiang Yubai liked him, even though he had made this very clear to that person six years ago.
Although he does not discriminate against homosexuals, at least he himself has no interest in them.
But the person in front of me is very sensitive. She seems to care about nothing, but in fact she longs to be cared for and loved.
Shen Que was afraid. What if Meng Zhiyi got into a dead end and didn't want him anymore?
After thinking it over, he felt that he had to explain this matter to Meng Zhiyi in person.
"After dinner, I'll tell you something."
Meng Zhiyi looked at the person in front of her suspiciously, trying to read something from his face, but Shen Que was like a peacock with its tail spread out, his face full of a smile that tempted her to commit a crime.
"I got it! Let's go, grandma has been waiting for a long time." Meng Zhiyi pushed him awkwardly.
Shen Que nodded, then took out the fruits he had just bought from the trunk and walked home holding Meng Zhiyi's hand.
The Shen family’s old house is very large, in a garden style, covering an area of thousands of acres.
The last time she came, she went through the side door and didn't have a chance to take a proper look around.
I don’t know what Shen Que was thinking today, he just took her through the main gate.
As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper came up to him with a smile, took the things from Shen Que, and then greeted Meng Zhiyi warmly.
"Ms. Meng, long time no see."
Meng Zhiyi responded to the housekeeper politely, then took out a candy from her bag and handed it over with a smile.
"Master Butler, here are some candies."
The housekeeper was a little surprised. After taking the candy from her, surprise first flashed in his eyes, and then some incomprehensible emotions emerged.
He tightened his grip, and with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, he said, "Ms. Meng hasn't changed."
Perhaps worried that Meng Zhi might understand something, the housekeeper quickly put the candy in his pocket and continued, "The old lady has been waiting for you for a long time, Miss, go quickly."
"Okay." Meng Zhiyi felt a little strange in his heart just now, but before he had time to think about it, he was dragged inside by Shen Que.
Looking at their backs, the butler took out the candy again and fell into his memories.
In the memories that have long been sealed away, there was also someone who gave them a piece of candy.

In the living room, Old Madam Shen was wearing reading glasses and had the expression of an elderly person on the subway looking at her phone.
"Grandma, Yiyi and I are back." Shen Que said as soon as he walked in.
Meng Zhiyi stood beside Shen Que. When she saw Old Madam Shen raise her head, she immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, Grandma."
Mrs. Shen immediately dropped her phone and waved happily, "Come to grandma."
Meng Zhiyi immediately shook off Shen Que's hand and ran to sit next to Old Madam Shen.
"Grandma, how are you doing lately? Are you in a good mood?" Meng Zhiyi asked with concern.
[By the way, is the person who drugged Grandma Shen still alive? ]
[During this period, I haven't heard Shen Que say that grandma is not feeling well. She should not continue to eat unclean food, right? ]
Shen Que lowered his eyes, but in his heart he was very grateful to know this from Meng Zhiyi's inner voice.
Ever since his grandmother was discharged from the hospital last time, he began to secretly investigate everyone in the family, and finally found the person who had done something dishonest.
However, in order not to worry Old Madam Shen, Shen Que controlled the person secretly and did not alarm her.
Old Madam Shen liked Meng Zhiyi from the bottom of her heart, and she was extremely happy just by hearing two simple words of concern from her.
"As long as I see you, I feel very happy." Old Madam Shen grabbed Meng Zhiyi's hand, her eyes full of love.
Meng Zhiyi felt warm in her heart. After coming to this world, besides Lin Luoluo, the person she felt closest to was Old Madam Shen.
Shen Que is ranked last.
“I was very happy to see my grandma.”
Old Madam Shen sighed happily several times, and then she noticed Shen Que standing aside with a somewhat resentful look on his face.
"What are you doing standing there? Go to the kitchen and get the ice glutinous rice balls. They're for Zhiyi."
Shen Que looked at Meng Zhiyi quietly and saw her leaning against her grandmother, looking at her with a smile and not saying a word.
Helplessly, accepting his fall from favor, he had to resign himself to his fate and go get ice dumplings for Meng Zhiyi.
When Shen Que came back with the ice dumplings, before he even entered the house, he heard the laughter of his grandmother and Meng Zhiyi coming from inside.
He stopped and listened quietly to the laughter inside.
How many years has it been since he saw grandma laugh so happily?
It seemed that, ever since he could remember, his grandmother always looked worried except when she was busy with company affairs.
Later, the Meng family found Meng Zhiyi and took her to an event for the first time. After being seen by his grandmother, he felt that his grandmother seemed to have changed a little.
At first, Shen Que didn't understand why his grandmother insisted on letting him marry Meng Zhiyi. Of course, he still doesn't understand it now.
Because her grandmother seemed different from herself, she couldn't hear Meng Zhiyi's thoughts.
So why, when everyone disliked Meng Zhiyi before, did grandma still resolutely choose her?
Shen Kuo closed his eyes, then calmed his mind and stepped in.
Afterwards, the three of them chatted and laughed until the butler came to say that the meal was ready.
"Then let's go eat first."
As Mrs. Shen spoke, she stood up, grabbing her cane with one hand. Meng Zhiyi was close to her, and just when she was about to reach out to help her, she found that Mrs. Shen was reaching out to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper stepped forward and supported her carefully.
Shen Que was already used to it, so he naturally mentioned Meng Zhiyi and said, "Let's go."
As soon as they sat down in the restaurant, the servant came over and whispered something in the housekeeper's ear.
The housekeeper's expression suddenly changed and he said goodbye.
But Old Lady Shen saw something and asked before the servant left: "Is there anything I can't listen to?"
The servant lowered his head quickly, and even the housekeeper looked over with a hint of worry.
Madam Shen: "Go ahead, I've seen a lot of ups and downs in my life."
The butler hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said, "The illegitimate child is here, just outside the gate."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but raise his head.
[Ah? Is that illegitimate child so reckless? He came straight to my house? ]
[It's outrageous. Shouldn't he have been hiding behind all the time and finally slept with the drunk Song Wei, making her pregnant and cheating on Shen Que?]
[Let’s just say that the plot of the original book is also quite explosive, the author’s own mother cheated on her son. ]
[So what does he want to do by coming here at this time? ]
[I don't understand. This is such a crazy plot that I feel like it's a completely different book.]
Shen Que didn't say anything. He listened to Meng Zhiyi's thoughts while paying attention to Old Lady Shen's reaction.
He thought to himself that no matter whether it was the plot in the book or in reality, he would never let this happen.
You're not doing charity, why would you raise other people's children?
Unless he can't.
The three people in the restaurant had their own thoughts until the illegitimate child was brought in by the butler.
The man looked at the three people enjoying the delicious food, and suddenly felt unfair.
How has he lived these years, and how have these people lived!
Thinking of this, the man became even more resentful and said directly: "I am also a member of the Shen family. Shouldn't I have a share of the Shen family's property?"
