After the Shen family held a meeting at the company that day, Shen Jiazhou felt that Xu Zhen's words were a bit strange.
He then asked Lin Yan to investigate. At first, they didn't find anything, and Shen Jiazhou thought he was being paranoid. But later, Lin Yan mentioned that the person's name sounded familiar, so he investigated everyone around Xu Zhen. They later discovered that Xu Zhen had used his secretary's identity to negotiate, given the landlord a two-thousand-yuan deposit, and offered a good price. Fortunately, the landlord had offered a price that appealed to him, fearing the buyer might run away, so he had Wen Shuqiao and the other woman move out that very night.
"Huh? It's because of Xu Zhen?" Wen Shuqiao said, "I thought it was just about selling the house."
After all, there are so many cases of selling houses to pay for her son's wedding that she hadn't paid much attention to them, but she didn't expect Shen Jiazhou to have investigated it.
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "I haven't had time to deal with the two of them lately, but I didn't expect them to be so eager to come to me."
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips: "I'll take Cancan upstairs later."
"No need," Shen Jiazhou said. "Just take him inside; the two of them won't go in."
As they were talking, Shen Jiazhou had already driven into the residential area. He said, "Don't worry, there won't be any arguments. It's been the same old stuff all these years, I'm too lazy to listen to it."
Wen Shuqiao asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Shen Jiazhou said helplessly, "It's nothing more than that you're not my son, so if you're so capable, don't take the surname Shen, and you're not as good as your brother, etc."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but hiss, "It does sound really annoying."
Shen Jiazhou brought the car to a steady stop and said, "Actually, it's quite normal. He can't control me. The Shen family members are all selfish and self-serving. He's old and can only rely on Xu Zhen and her son, so naturally he has to put on a good show now."
Otherwise, when he gets old, who will take care of him?
Shen Fang is now sixty years old, an age when he should be working hard for his later years.
After parking the car smoothly, Wen Shuqiao looked at Cancan beside her and realized that he had fallen asleep at some point.
Shen Jiazhou also glanced back, unbuckled his seatbelt, and said softly, "I'll carry him, you take your things?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded and got out of the car, carrying the things she bought in the trunk. Shen Jiazhou also took Cancan out of the car.
Can Can was awake, but still a little groggy. He glanced at his aunt, then looked at his uncle holding him, slowly blinked, buried his face in his uncle's shoulder, and didn't say anything.
Shen Jiazhou hugged him tightly and whispered, "Don't sleep anymore, we'll be home soon."
Can Can moved slightly, as if to answer her uncle's question.
Shen Jiazhou supported him, and couldn't help but say to Wen Shuqiao, "He has indeed gotten quite heavy."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "He's grown quite a bit taller. Now, when I carry him for a few steps, it feels like I'm carrying a sandbag."
"When have you ever carried this before?" A hint of a smile appeared in Shen Jiazhou's eyes. "Our Cancan isn't a punching bag, is she?"
Can Can hummed twice; he didn't even know what a sandbag was.
Wen Shuqiao smiled slightly, bowed her head, and walked towards the elevator with Shen Jiazhou without answering him.
The elevator soon arrived at the floor, and Can Can was fully awake. However, he clung to Shen Jia Zhou's shoulder and refused to walk on his own. Even when his uncle called him a little pig, he pretended not to hear.
What's wrong with being a pig if you don't walk on your own?
Shen Jiazhou carried Cancan out first, and bumped into Shen Fang and Xu Zhen, who were about to leave.
Shen Fang and Xu Zhen were taken aback at first, and before they could say anything, they saw Wen Shuqiao carrying things out of the elevator.
"You..." Shen Fang's eyes widened: "You live together?"
"Wasn't this all your doing?" Shen Jiazhou coldly lifted his eyelids: "What acting skills are you practicing now? Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were about to enter the entertainment industry, so eager to show off."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh as she listened. Shen Jiazhou was truly a man of few words, but when he did speak, he was astonishing. She was even afraid that Shen Jiazhou would poison her when he licked his lips.
Xu Zhen was still quite rational; she tugged at Chen Fang's arm, indicating that there was another outsider present.
Shen Fang took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress his anger: "Your aunt and I have been waiting for you at the door for five whole hours! We couldn't get through to you on the phone, don't you owe me an explanation?"
Upon hearing Chen Fang's voice, Can Can turned to look at him, pouting, "You jerk! Why are you yelling at my uncle! This is our home, you and her get out of here!"
Shen Fang's eyes widened: "I'm your grandfather!"
Can Can also got angry, crossed her arms, and shouted, "I don't have a grandfather! You're a kidnapper! You're going to take me away! I'm going to tell the police!"
"You, you!" Shen Fang didn't expect a little toddler to dare to talk back to him. He said, "How do you usually teach your child? If you don't know how, then let your aunt teach him! He's so young, yet he's already so sharp-tongued. What will he be like when he grows up!"
Just as annoying as Shen Jiazhou when he was a child!
Wen Shuqiao also said casually, "Our child is usually very polite to people."
Can Can nodded, raised her chin, and said proudly, "I am the most polite child, and you are the most impolite old man!"
Shen Jiazhou put Cancan down: "Okay, baby, you and your aunt go home first, your uncle will handle it."
Xu Zhen pulled Shen Fang several times before she finally brought him back to his senses. They weren't here to argue today.
Shen Fang took several deep breaths before finally suppressing his anger.
Shen Jiazhou said calmly, "If you're short of oxygen, go to the hospital for oxygen. Don't die here; it's bad luck."
Wen Shuqiao had already led Cancan away, but upon hearing Shen Jiazhou's words, she couldn't help but turn back and glance at Shen Jiazhou again.
He stood there, arms crossed, just like Can Can had just done, but his expression had become much colder.
However, when he saw Wen Shuqiao turn to look at him, he winked at her lightly, a completely different expression from when he confronted Shen Fang, as if this was his true nature.
Wen Shuqiao paused for a moment, then looked away and pulled Can Can into the house.
