A well-known villa district for the wealthy in City A.
Shen Jiazhou came out wrapped in a bathrobe, then walked to the bedside table and answered his ringing phone.
"Boss," Lin Yan said on the other end, "I've found out everything about Miss Wen. I've sent you an email; please check it."
Shen Jiazhou nodded, and Lin Yan then said, "Chairman Shen just called me and asked you to come home for dinner tonight. Are you going?"
"I won't reply," Shen Jiazhou said coldly.
Lin Yan wasn't surprised by this answer: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiazhou took his phone downstairs, sat on the sofa, opened his email, and immediately saw Wen Shuqiao's ID photo.
The suddenness of the event caught Shen Jiazhou off guard, but he quickly regained his composure. As the emails scrolled down, Lin Yan proved to be very reliable, having thoroughly investigated all of Wen Shuqiao's life events from childhood to adulthood.
The more Shen Jiazhou looked, the more his brows furrowed.
By the end, Shen Jiazhou's impression of Wen Shuqiao had completely changed, and he now saw her as arrogant, brainless, and a bully who relied on her power.
Can someone like that take good care of Can Can?
The answer is obvious.
But after watching it, Shen Jiazhou recalled the scene when he met Wen Shuqiao.
The first time she held Can Can in the hospital, the weariness on her face was genuine.
The second incident likely occurred outside the custom shop, where she was still holding Cancan and got into an argument with the shop assistant.
The third time was in the banquet's surveillance footage, where she was seen leading Can Can out of the restroom.
The fourth time was at noon today. Can Can was dressed like a little doll and sat obediently next to her. Wen Shu Qiao was not as arrogant and rude as described in the report. She smiled at every customer.
Even Xiao Miao said that Wen Shuqiao cares a lot about Can Can.
Is the Wen Shuqiao he saw the same person as the Wen Shuqiao in this report?
Shen Jiazhou leaned back on the sofa, unable to understand why.
"bite--"
Shen Jiazhou glanced at his phone but didn't answer.
But the phone rang again and again with an air of determination that he absolutely had to answer it.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Shen Jiazhou answered the phone: "Spit it out."
The man said in a nonchalant tone, "So hot-tempered? Come out for a drink."
Before Shen Jiazhou could speak, the other person said, "Don't think I don't know you're home today. It's just a short walk, right? Come on, we're one short for mahjong."
Shen Jiazhou's gaze fell on the computer screen. The last few pages contained several old photos of Wen Shuqiao, who looked completely different from how she looked now.
He was somewhat agitated: "I understand."
When Shen Jiazhou changed his clothes and arrived at his friend's house, the others were already seated.
"You're finally here! Come on, we're one short!" Gu Xingyuan gestured for him to sit down. "We've finally got everyone together!"
“Yeah, we’ve finally collected enough. The money’s about to fly away.” Ning Fei slowly chimed in, “Look at his dark face. He’s not leaving today without an empty wallet, right, Xiao Feng?”
Feng Yi chuckled twice: "Anyway, I only brought 100,000 with me. I'll owe it to you and pay you back when I have the money later."
Amid their teasing, Shen Jiazhou pulled out a chair: "When did you start talking so much nonsense?"
The three exchanged glances, and Ning Fei spoke first: "I heard you've been looking for your long-lost nephew. How's it going? Any news?"
"Yeah, yeah, if you tell us, we brothers might be able to help you. After all, Brother Chen was really good to us back then." Gu Xingyuan sighed, "It's just a pity."
When the topic turned to Shen Jiazhou's older brother, Shen Jiachen, a silence fell over the group. If it weren't for the accident back then...
Shen Jiazhou simply said, "The person has been found."
"Found it?" Feng Yi blinked. "What about the child? Why didn't you bring him to us?"
“Yes, and why didn’t you say so sooner? We uncles haven’t even prepared a decent gift.” Gu Xingyuan hissed, “No, I have to call them and tell them to get started. The child is four years old, right? I…”
“He’s not with me right now.” Shen Jiazhou arranged the cards. “You still have time to prepare.”
The other three abandoned their immediate plans to prepare gifts and, while playing their cards, said, "He went back to the old house? Well, Uncle Shen and the others must be very happy. By the way, did Brother Shen's girlfriend go back with him? I haven't met her yet..."
Gu Xingyuan's leg was kicked from under the table. He hissed and looked at Ning Fei sitting next to him.
Ning Fei said without changing his expression, "Don't worry, we will definitely prepare a nice gift for our first meeting."
Shen Jiazhou pushed out his tiles: "Pure suit, self-draw."
Gu Xingyuan's attention immediately went to his hand: "Damn, so fast!"
The card game lasted until 11 p.m., and Shen Jiazhou won a fortune and left feeling refreshed.
Gu Xingyuan slumped over the card table, regretting, "Why did I let him get close to me! I really, really deserve to die!"
His money!
Ning Fei sneered. Shen Jiazhou was the biggest winner tonight. He stood up, ready to leave. Gu Xingyuan asked, "What are you laughing at? You haven't explained why you kicked me!"
"What else do I need to explain?" Ning Fei said, "Didn't you see Shen Er's ugly face? If I hadn't kicked you, you probably would have lost everything tonight."
Feng Yi also said, "Judging from Shen Er's appearance, I estimate that this child will be difficult to bring back."
Gu Xingyuan then realized something else and said, "Why didn't you come back? Could it be that your sister-in-law doesn't want the child to come back? But I heard back then that your sister-in-law came from an ordinary background. If this child were raised by the Shen family, he would be the successor of the Shen family."
