Chapter 341 Master Shang: I will perform well and strive to earn a title as soon as possible!
"mom--"
Shang Shiyan parted his thin lips and couldn't help but speak.
"how?"
Zhong Man glared at her fiercely and said angrily, "Am I wrong? Wu Wu is such a good girl, how dare you lose her? I'll break your legs."
"..."
Shang Shiyan's next words caught in his throat, and he could only turn his gaze to his father, who was also peeling shrimp for his wife beside him.
Shang Shiyan: Dad, say something! (Makes eye contact)
Shang Hechuan looked up at his wife, but quickly looked away after a few seconds.
Chao Shangshi shook his head, his eyes replying: You dare not say it, but I dare?
Shang Shiyan: "..."
——
During the meal.
Ms. Zhong Man kept pulling Pei Jinwu along, chattering away.
The two are just like sisters, with no sense of boundaries whatsoever.
"You've met Grandpa and Grandma, haven't you?" Ms. Zhong Man handed all the shrimp that her husband had peeled to Pei Jinwu.
“Wuwu is Grandpa’s savior,” Shang Shiyan answered for her.
"Yeah?"
Zhong Man's eyes lit up, and she was even more satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She exclaimed excitedly, "So you're the miracle doctor the old man was talking about?"
"It was just a small favor."
Pei Jinwu ate the shrimp that Zhong Man brought over and answered politely but firmly.
oops.
That's so polite.
How can there be such a polite young girl?
Zhong Man stared at Pei Jinwu, her expression one of wishing she could marry her in place of Shang Shiyan.
After the meal.
Zhong Man and Shang Hechuan pulled Shang Shiyan aside and coldly questioned, "We heard you two live together?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan nodded and answered honestly.
"you--"
Zhong Man's face changed, afraid of frightening the girl in the room, she tried to lower her voice: "How old is Wu Wu? How could you do this!"
"We just live together."
Shang Shiyan pinched the bridge of his nose and explained helplessly, "I cherish Wuwu more than anyone else, how could I bear to let her get hurt?"
"That's good,"
Zhong Man breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "I heard that Wuwu was separated from her family when she was little and suffered a lot."
"There's still no news about my two older sisters and our parents." Shang Shiyan looked up at the little girl sitting at the dining table, lost in thought, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Pitiful."
Zhong Man felt terrible for her and instructed Shang Shiyan, "Don't you dare bully her, do you hear me? You can't even say a harsh word to her!"
"Oh."
Shang Shiyan smiled, a smile tinged with sadness, and deliberately asked, "What if she's wrong?"
"Wrong, wrong?"
Ms. Zhong Man paused for a moment, realizing that Shang Shiyan's words made sense, but—
"She's wrong, can't you just take a step back, or even a step back?"
"So what if you stepped back? It was your fault?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan listened quietly, glancing at his silent father beside him with a hint of sympathy.
"Know."
Shang Shiyan nodded, watching the little girl's figure, and said earnestly, "I won't let her suffer any more grievances."
"OK."
Zhong Man was satisfied that Shang Shiyan's words were credible.
Before leaving.
Ms. Zhong Man walked over to Pei Jinwu and took out two checks from her bag.
"Spend your allowance however you want, as much as you want, buy whatever you want."
"If you've used it all up, Auntie will give you more."
Fearing Pei Jinwu would refuse, Zhong Man stuffed the check into her arms and then ran back to the car, instructing the driver to start the car.
"..."
Watching the sports car drive away, and then looking at the banknotes in his hand, Pei Jinwu felt quite bewildered.
One ticket is worth over 900 million.
Two bills totaling nearly two billion.
Two billion in pocket money?
"Take this from your mother." Shang Shiyan gently put his arm around her waist, a faint smile on his lips. "I can tell that your mother really likes you."
Mother?
Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar word, Pei Jinwu felt a tightness in her chest.
Aunt Zhong Man is really nice.
That's why we were able to raise such a good child as Shang Shiyan.
She loves their family.
"OK."
Pei Jinwu held the banknotes, a faint smile playing on her lips.
This amount of money is nothing to the merchant.
If she refuses, it will hurt Aunt Zhongman's feelings.
I'll find something she likes later and give it to her in return.
——
On the way back.
Pei Jinwu leaned against Shang Shiyan's chest, her mind filled with images of Zhong Man and Shang Hechuan.
He asked in confusion:
"Didn't Aunt Zhong Man announce her marriage to the public?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "My mother was the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital. Later, her family fell on hard times and she was forced to enter the entertainment industry to make money."
"During the process, I met my father by chance. The two fell in love at first sight, their feelings gradually deepened, and they eventually decided to get married."
"At the time, my mother was already somewhat famous in the entertainment industry. If she had announced her marriage publicly, the word 'businessperson' would have made her a household name."
"But my mother is a strong-willed person and didn't want her work to be criticized by others. So she hid her marriage and switched to directing, where her career flourished and she won many awards at home and abroad."
"There's another reason for not disclosing it..."
Shang Shiyan lowered his head, his gaze falling on Pei Jinwu's face, and a smile played on his lips: "Why do you think I was dragged to the conglomerate to be a slave when I was just over ten years old?"
"?"
Pei Jinwu blinked, waiting for his answer.
"Because my father's profession is very special, it belongs to the state's secret industry, and his identity cannot be disclosed to the public."
so.
To this day, outsiders still do not know who the wife of the Shang family is.
"oh."
After listening to Shang Shiyan's words, Pei Jinwu finally understood.
“However, now that Father’s work is finished, he won’t need to go back for a long time,” Shang Shiyan said, holding Pei Jinwu’s hand. “After a while, we can gradually make it public.”
"fine."
Pei Jinwu replied casually, but as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist.
What are you doing?
The little girl looked at the culprit with displeasure.
"And what about us?"
Shang Shiyan leaned forward, his nose touching Pei Jinwu's, his eyes hazy, his voice seductive: "Little Pei Jinwu, when will you give me a title?"
"Cough cough."
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinwu choked up for a moment after hearing this, and deliberately said, "Just you wait until you pass the probation period."
"Probation period?"
Shang Shiyan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't pass the assessment, huh?"
"I'm getting a new boyfriend."
Pei Jinwu blinked, her long eyelashes brushing against the man's face, and raised an eyebrow with a light laugh: "So, Master Shang should be aware of the danger and perform well."
"Oh."
Seeing her laugh so heartlessly, Shang Shiyan shook his head helplessly, gently patted the top of her head with his palm, and softly promised, "Yes, I will do my best and try to earn a title as soon as possible."
"..."
Pei Jinwu gave him a deep look, the complex emotions in her eyes quickly disappearing.
It's not that we can't give him a formal title, it's just...
There were many people hunting her down, all of them formidable figures, and the situation involved too many things.
Especially that old, immortal leader of the S Alliance.
We need to get rid of these people first.
——
good evening.
The arch-rivals will meet soon.
