Chapter 312: The younger man is very fierce and crazy (53)
—
The scenery in Florence is indeed beautiful, and the residents are very polite. They advocate freedom. There is no tedious work, economic comparison, or internal competition in all aspects here. There is only comfort, ease, and lying down.
Shen Yuan took Grandma Shen to visit every meaningful tourist attraction. While visiting a night party in Putuo Town, Shen Yuan took a fancy to a peacock feather necklace. The necklace itself was not expensive, but because it was at the lantern festival, it cost fifty euros.
When Shen Yuan asked Grandma Shen, she said she didn't like it, didn't want it, and didn't want to waste money, but when Shen Yuan really presented the necklace to her, Grandma Shen couldn't help but smile and wrinkled her face.
Grandma Shen said that she had never received a gift from anyone in her life. When her generation got married, every family was very poor, and grandpa spent a pig to marry her home.
Grandma Shen's mother was somewhat patriarchal, so she sold the pig two days later to raise money for her son's betrothal gift.
After marriage, Grandpa Shen treated her well, but he was born in a poor family and had no romantic cells. Even if he had, the family's financial situation at the time did not allow him to spend money on useless things.
So Grandma Shen had never received a gift in her life, but she didn’t expect that at this moment, in this beautiful country, her granddaughter would fulfill her wish.
Shen Yuan put the necklace on Grandma Shen. The blue peacock feather was dotted with a small white diamond in the middle, strung with a thin black thread and hung around her neck.
Grandma Shen gently stroked the rhinestones on it and asked with a smile
"Ayuan, am I beautiful?"
Shen Yuan hugged Grandma Shen’s shoulders: “Of course my grandma is beautiful.”
"You just like to say nice things to make grandma happy."
"No, grandma is very beautiful."
Grandma Shen held Shen Yuan's hand, the lines on the back of her hand were old and winding, the traces of time.
Even though she was a head shorter than Chen Yuan, he still led her as he led the way through the crowd like a child, afraid that she would get lost.
"By the way, Ayuan, did you tell Xiaoan that you were going abroad?"
Hearing Fu Jinan's name from Grandma Shen's mouth, Shen Yuan's heartbeat was uncontrollably skipped a beat.
She shook her head and said softly
"No."
When she heard no, Grandma Shen pinched the back of Shen Yuan's hand and scolded
"You girl, you didn't even tell Xiao An about such a big thing as going abroad. That child must be heartbroken. Could it be that you two have separated?"
Shen Yuan pulled the corner of her mouth, hugged her grandmother, and said in a coquettish tone
"Grandma, let me tell you something."
"What?"
"Actually...Fu Jinan is the son of Shen Man's current husband and his ex-wife."
After the words fell, Grandma Shen's expression changed slightly, and the hand holding Shen Yuan tightened slightly.
"You mean, Xiao An is..."
Chen Yuan hummed softly. She thought that Grandma Shen's view and impression of Fu Jinan would change because of this identity, but she never expected that she just sighed with heartache.
"What a miserable child."
"Grandma, why do you think his life is so miserable?"
"Since she's his ex-wife, it means Xiao An's mother and his father divorced, and he was awarded to his father. Without his mother's love, he wouldn't feel happy even if he was born into a wealthy family."
"I saw that he liked you very much, but you actually went abroad without telling the child. I guess his relationship with his father shouldn't be close. How pitiful is it to stay alone in that house..."
Grandma Shen’s eyebrows and eyes were kind, and her old eyes were full of heartache for Fu Jinan.
"Grandma, don't you blame me?"
Grandma Shen looked at Shen Yuan and touched her head lovingly.
"Why does grandma blame A Yuan?"
Shen Yuan tilted her head and leaned on Grandma Shen's shoulder.
"Because I was with him without telling you."
Grandma Shen laughed out loud, her eyes were kind, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more obvious.
Life experience and years of accumulation have given her a special temperament.
This kind of temperament cannot be faked.
"Silly child, love is innocent. It is the greed, desire, and opinions of the world that have shackled it."
"As long as there's no blood relationship and both parties are single, why can't they be together? There are 7.8 billion people on Earth, and it's already difficult for people to meet each other. Falling in love is even more of a gift from heaven. If you care about everyone's opinion, wouldn't that be too tiring?"
“When you come to this world, you should follow your heart.”
Yeah, just follow your heart.
I have traveled through so many worlds and experienced so many things, but I don’t see things as clearly as Grandma Shen.
"Grandma, I suddenly feel that your image at this moment is somewhat great."
Grandma Shen smiled and tapped Shen Yuan's forehead, causing her to cry out in pain.
"How great can I be as an old woman with one foot halfway into the coffin? You are talking nonsense again."
"It's not nonsense, it's the truth."

At the Fu family's family banquet, the round table in the magnificent hall was filled with Fu family members, except for the main seat in the center, which was empty, waiting for its owner.
Four years have passed, and Fu Shishan is no longer the same decisive and intimidating person he used to be in the business world.
He looked much more haggard, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. His sharp eyes seemed to have become cloudy, and he could not hide the fatigue on his body.
Shen Man sat beside him, lowered her head and said nothing.
She seemed to have changed. Her graceful figure had changed, and her fair skin seemed to have lost its moist luster and was now tinged with yellow.
Chen Man paid great attention to her own maintenance and conditioning. Not long after giving birth to Fu Ping'an, she refused breastfeeding and only allowed the nanny to feed him milk powder.
Afraid that Fu Ping'an's crying at night would affect her sleep quality, she installed sound insulation cotton in the room. At night, when Fu Ping'an was hungry or wet the bed, he would cry loudly, but the couple in the master bedroom slept like dead pigs, and finally woke Fu Jin'an up.
Fu Jinan doesn't like this younger brother, not at all.
When Shen Yuan was by his side, he was willing to be a kind and friendly brother and let her see his changes.
But after Chen Yuan left, Fu Jinan's attitude towards Fu Ping'an suddenly became indifferent and distant.
But Xiao Ping'an liked him so much that he wanted to sneak down to the second floor to play with his brother every night, but what greeted him was a closed door and three cold words.
"Leave me alone."
"Mom, when will my brother come? I'm so hungry."
Fu Ping'an touched his belly, tilted his head to look at Chen Man and said cautiously.
"Shhh."
Chen Man covered his mouth: "Wait a moment, didn't I just give you a biscuit to fill your stomach?"
Shen Man lowered her voice and looked at Fu Ping'an with a blaming look.
Fu Pingan shrank his neck and said softly
“It’s too dry, I can’t eat it...”
"This troublesome child is so spoiled. I wonder who he takes after."
If Shen Yuan were here, he would definitely laugh sarcastically.
The word "spoiled" is not derogatory, and she does not think that enduring hardship is a noble quality, but she never thought that these two words would come out of Chen Man's mouth.
After all, she used to be the delicate beauty that was praised by all the neighbors.
I remember that period, the construction site was rushing to make progress, and the temperature during the day was too high, making it easy to get heat stroke, so we usually worked at night.
Father Shen worked all night those days. In order to make more money, he ignored the fatigue and rarely rested.
One time, he returned home at 5:30 in the morning, only to find that Chen Man had not slept yet, and was browsing Taobao with a facial mask on.
She said she was hungry, regardless of the fact that Father Shen had just worked all night, and clamored for crayfish.
At 5:30, most restaurants were closed. Father Shen didn't even change his clothes. He rode his motorcycle to the seafood market in the early morning and bought three pounds of crayfish.
On the way home, due to sleepiness and fatigue, he fell into a ditch and lost consciousness instantly.
It was a night shift worker who found him and rushed him to the hospital.
After the neighbors learned about this, they came to the hospital to visit and accused Chen Man of being so squeamish and riding a motorcycle to buy crayfish in the early morning, which was very dangerous.
After hearing this, Chen Man just replied indifferently.
"Who told him to be so busy so late?"
