If she weren't the original owner's mother, or a woman, Shen Shi would really have wanted to take action.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
What an annoying family! What a terrible environment! It made him lose his appetite.
Sensing that her father was in a bad mood, the sensible little girl immediately reached out her arms for a hug.
"Dad, I'm full. Let's go out and play!"
Don't let scumbags affect your mood.
Shen Shi picked up his adorable daughter, gently pinched her nose, and said in a doting tone, "Okay~"
The people at the table were either wailing or furious.
Shen Yu and his wife were trying to comfort them, while the twins, under the oppressive atmosphere, had tears welling up in their eyes. The entire Shen family was in chaos, like a marketplace.
Even Ji Beiqing couldn't help but panic, but Shen Shi remained completely unaffected, carrying his daughter as he walked out.
Before leaving, she gave Ji Beiqing a wink, signaling her to follow.
"Why did you have such a big conflict with your parents?" Ji Beiqing asked worriedly.
“They just don’t like me and are deliberately picking a fight,” Shen Shi corrected.
"I know, but this has always been how it's always been." Ji Beiqing was still puzzled: "Why are you so angry this time?"
Looking at Ji Beiqing's bewildered expression, Shen Shi knew that she was asking herself the same question.
Ji Beiqing grew up in an unfortunate environment and had to make a living in the social melting pot before she even reached adulthood.
They have been exploited and rejected for a long time.
This led Ji Beiqing to only think of enduring injustices, hoping that they would pass.
She always told herself that.
The highest form of love is to feel heartache.
Chen Shi's heart felt like it had been twisted hard, leaving him feeling both sore and aching.
"You said it was before. From now on, we should hold our heads high and be proud of ourselves. Who cares about our parents or blood ties? They spoiled us. If we're not happy, we should stand up for ourselves!"
Shen Shi looked extremely serious as he stared at Ji Beiqing and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Faced with Shen Shi's seemingly tangible gaze, Ji Beiqing felt as if a shocking secret had been discovered, and panicked, unable to look him in the eye.
But Chen Shi's words really touched her heart.
"So that's how it is."
Ji Beiqing lowered her head as she spoke, and her expression was not visible.
However, one can imagine that she must be feeling sad.
The person who hurt her is now lecturing her on profound principles—what an ironic scene.
Shen felt that Heaven was unfair; why wasn't such a good person favored?
Then let me take care of you!
I will give you everything I have.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Shen Shi could no longer suppress it and hugged Ji Beiqing tightly.
"sorry!"
For some reason, upon hearing these words, Ji Beiqing burst into tears and cried as she punched Chen Shi.
"You bastard!"
"Shen Shi, you treated me like this... You deserve to go to hell..."
Ji Beiqing was sobbing uncontrollably, crying and crying as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had accumulated over the past few years.
Shen Shi still held her tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much Ji Beiqing hit him.
Sitting on Shen Shi's shoulders, little Shen Yueyue stared wide-eyed at her crying mother with innocent eyes.
"Mommy, don't cry~"
Confused about what had happened, Shen Yueyue reached out her little hands to wipe away her tears.
Meeting her daughter's bewildered gaze, Ji Beiqing blushed instantly.
She actually buried her face in Shen Shi's arms and cried, right in front of her daughter. Ji Beiqing tried to pull away, but Shen Shi's arms were still tightly around her.
"The child is watching! Let me go!"
With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, he shamelessly refused to let go.
"Go ahead and look. What's wrong with looking at your own parents? Besides, we didn't do anything."
Ji Beiqing was so angry at these shameless remarks that she pinched her arm hard.
"Hiss~ So cruel! You're trying to murder your husband!" Shen Shi immediately accused.
"Who told you not to let go!"
"I can't even hug my own wife?"
"It just won't work!"
The two of them played around like that, and Shen Shi felt that there was no greater joy than this.
What made him even happier was Ji Beiqing's vivid and lively eyes and eyebrows.
However, after a while, once her emotions subsided, Ji Beiqing immediately realized that it was all over.
"I'm going to be late for work!" Ji Beiqing shouted.
Hearing her mention going to work, Shen Shi frowned.
Remembering the boss's ill intentions towards Ji Beiqing, and recalling what happened afterward, Shen Shi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Don't go there! Your restaurant owner is a scoundrel. Listen to me, quit your job right now!"
Shen Shi blocked her path and said in an unquestionable manner.
Ji Beiqing felt that Shen Shi's words were simply incomprehensible.
"Are you crazy? If you quit your job, what will we eat and drink?"
Of course she knew the restaurant owner was no good; just thinking about those lecherous eyes made Ji Beiqing feel nauseous.
But the family of three relies on that meager salary to survive; if she doesn't work, they'll starve.
"I'll go lay bricks to support you and the baby," Shen Shiqiang said, pulling her back, refusing to let her leave.
Shen Shi despised manual labor the most. When he said he was going to move bricks, Ji Beiqing refused to believe him no matter what.
"I'm really going to be late, please don't be stubborn!"
Remembering the restaurant's policy of fining latecomers, Ji Beiqing was so anxious she almost cried.
Shen Shi knew that Ji Beiqing's panicked behavior stemmed from a lack of security.
I've only been here for a day, so I haven't been able to give her enough confidence.
Without a material foundation, everything else is just empty talk.
Chen Shi was unsure of the exact timing of the restaurant owner's feigned drunkenness, and he couldn't bear to watch his wife walk into a pit of fire.
