Shen Jiazhou looked solemn at this moment, even more so than when he signed a deal worth hundreds of millions.
He quickly skimmed through the content, but still couldn't find any connection between it and Shen Shiyue's sudden emotional outburst.
Early romance? Unlikely. Shen Shiyue doesn't look like he's heartbroken.
Following the trend? What trend? Others are pretty much the same as him.
Poor grades? That's unlikely. Shen Shiyue has consistently ranked in the top three for years, making him a true academic star.
So why is that?
Shen Jiazhou then recalled how the man had been apologizing to him repeatedly earlier. Could it be that he had broken his collection?
But it's not a big deal. After he leaves, all these things will belong to Shen Shiyue alone.
Hearing noises coming from the stairs, he closed all the web pages and shut down his computer. He still needed to ask again.
Today is Shen Shiyue's eighteenth birthday. The Shen family originally wanted to make a big fuss about it, but Shen Jiazhou vetoed it.
Those who came to the banquet that evening were all uncles and aunts that Shen Shiyue had known since childhood, as well as some younger brothers and sisters.
Shen Shiyue accepted all the gifts and finally sat down with his uncle.
His gaze fell on Yu Mingxue. The first time he met Aunt Mingxue was the year he returned to his uncle's side. At that time, Aunt Mingxue looked at him with an indescribable emotion that he did not understand.
Now I understand that Aunt Mingxue was my mother's good friend, but she must be the Aunt Mingxue who didn't receive the letter.
It's hard not to feel a pang of emotion. Although Can Can in the parallel universe also suffered a bit, it seems like everyone was planning for his happy future.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Jiazhou looked at him. "Why are you so absent-minded today?"
"It's nothing," Shen Shiyue said. "I'm just a little hungry."
Shen Jiazhou said, "Since you're hungry, let's eat while we go."
We're all old acquaintances, so there's no need for formalities.
The adults chatted as they ate, while Shen Shiyue silently gnawed on his ribs, his eyes already scanning the table.
Except for my uncle, everyone else has a family.
He lowered his eyes and continued gnawing on the ribs when he noticed a piece of fish in his bowl. He looked up and saw that his uncle had put it there for him.
His uncle takes good care of him. As long as he is with his uncle, he doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat or not sleeping well.
But when I was eighteen, I didn't realize any of this.
Both he and his uncle are quiet types, not very talkative, and sometimes they tend to overlook things.
Shen Shiyue felt that he was really wrong. His uncle had not married because of him, and even when he was about to be released, he still had to pave the way for him.
My uncle's life was bound and imprisoned; it seemed he never lived for himself.
Shen Shiyue seemed to swallow the meal hastily, finding it rather bland.
After saying goodbye to the other uncles and aunts, the uncle and nephew got into the car.
The driver dutifully dropped them off at their building. Once they arrived at their familiar home, Shen Shi felt more relaxed.
He turned to look at his uncle, who was a step behind him, and stared at him without saying a word.
Shen Jiazhou naturally noticed his gaze and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Shen Shiyue asked, "Uncle, what is your wish?"
"A wish?" Shen Jiazhou changed into his slippers, thought for a moment, and said, "My wish is very simple: I just hope you can grow up well."
Shen Shiyue pouted and said, "I've grown up."
Shen Jiazhou chuckled softly: "Yes, you've grown up. You're as tall as me now."
He shuffled inside in his slippers, and Shen Shiyue followed him, saying, "I'll be taller than you in the future."
"Okay, that's good." Shen Jiazhou praised, "It's very neat."
"..." Shen Shiyue coughed lightly and said, "That's not what I meant. Besides me, what other wishes do you have?"
Shen Jiazhou thought about it carefully, then said, "I have no wishes."
He possesses things that most people could never achieve in their entire lives, so he has nothing more to want.
If he had to name a wish, all he wanted was for Shen Shiyue to grow up healthy and safe.
Upon hearing this answer, Shen Shiyue felt somewhat dejected. It turned out that his uncle had already become indifferent to worldly desires at this point.
He said with a hint of sadness, "Uncle, you should live for yourself."
Shen Jiazhou had originally planned to go back to his bedroom to take a shower and rest, but upon hearing Shen Shiyue's words, he stopped and stared at him, saying, "You're acting really strange today."
Shen Shiyue bit his lower lip and after a long while said, "Uncle, let's sell Shen's shares."
The Shen family is now thriving under the management of the younger brother. Although the Shen family is in a mess, Shen Jiazhou has also devoted his efforts to the Shen family.
My uncle is now in his early forties, unlike Can Can's uncle, who is in his prime and hasn't even started anything yet, so he can cut his losses in time.
But his uncle's sunk costs were too high. When he said those words, he didn't even dare to look at Shen Jiazhou. It was simply too unfilial of him.
And my uncle would definitely not agree; this is the culmination of most of his life's work...
"good."
Shen Shiyue's brain stopped working, and he looked up at Shen Jiazhou blankly: "What?"
Shen Jiazhou smiled and said, "I said, okay."
good?
My uncle just agreed so readily? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Seeing his dazed expression, Shen Jiazhou laughed even harder: "You silly child, didn't you say you wanted to sell yourself? Why do you look so absent-minded after you agreed? Alright, it's getting late, go take a shower and go to bed."
Shen Shiyue watched Shen Jiazhou walk into the bedroom. After thinking it over again, he followed and asked, "Uncle, are you just going to agree like that? Don't you want to think about it?"
"What's there to think about?" Shen Jiazhou merely glanced at him lightly: "My achievements were not brought about by the Shen family, but created by myself."
He's actually tired over the years.
He didn't know why he remembered the scene of Shen Shiyue holding him and crying today, and after thinking it over, he continued, "Shiyue, I will respect and understand all your decisions."
He turned to the side, raised his hand and patted Shen Shiyue's shoulder: "You haven't done anything to wrong me."
Rather, he owes Shen Shiyue far too much.
