Chapter 39
"Well... this gentleman," Director Cheng said, sweat dripping down his forehead. "Don't be too naughty. This could lead to trouble."
He spoke quite tactfully.
Sheng Dong's expression remained gentle and mellow: "Indeed, remember to tell that gentleman later."
"Go ahead," he said to the person following him, "see what's going on."
This is clearly the program crew's territory, but now they have taken the initiative into their own hands with just a few simple words, as if they are the one who has the final say here.
But Director Cheng didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to say anything. Several staff members took them to the scene.
The scene was already in chaos at this time. Tan Mu was still out of control, while Sheng Ning and Sheng Zhao obviously did not always follow domestic rules. They pressed the other person's head and refused to let go.
Little Fusheng squatted nearby and watched with great curiosity, wondering whether he should recite the criminal law to his mother and aunt.
Fortunately, after the two adults had calmed down, they turned around and found a little kid with wide eyes squatting behind them.
"What are you looking at!" Sheng Zhao freed one hand and turned her head to the other side. "Children, don't look at this."
"Auntie." Little Fusheng didn't turn around, but said, "This is very dangerous."
"Are you worried about him?"
"No." Xiao Fusheng's voice was clear, with a hint of worry. "I'm worried about you."
"I'm not sure if children can visit the prison. Fusheng is too short to reach the platform. But it doesn't matter. You should be able to wait inside until Fusheng is taller."
Sheng Ning: “…”
Sheng Zhao: "?"
You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!
"I know what's going on." Sheng Zhao grabbed Qiao Ge's hair and lifted his face up. "There are many ways to make you talk. What do you think?"
The system in Qiao Ge's head had issued numerous security warnings: "Host's safety is threatened, host's safety is threatened, host's luck value is rapidly decreasing, host's luck value is rapidly decreasing!"
Descend your mother!
The Internet was in chaos at this time, and netizens who were watching the live broadcast were all confused.
[Why did it suddenly stop? I was just about to reach the key point. What did that sentence mean? ]
[Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me? Did you figure it out?]
[…I feel like I figured it out, but it also feels a bit off. Was that what I heard? Was that what Qiao Ge asked?]
[Could it be a coincidence? Qiao Ge has always been kind to others. How could he harm someone in such a situation? They are still children, and it wasn't him who asked Zizi and the others to go there.]
If it was intentional, it would be terrifying to think about it.
When people are extremely frightened, they will lose the ability to think, but the system in the brain reminded Qiao Ge that he could not really die here, nor could he be defeated by these people. The system was just bound, and he had not gained any benefits yet.
So when he was about to be pushed into the water again, he immediately said, "I'll tell you!"
"The logo is mine, I made it, but I don't have any other meaning for it at all!"
The other two stopped.
"I didn't expect we would have to come back again. I was worried that something might follow us. I was the last one, so I changed it a little in a panic."
He said, "Then I thought of you coming over. I've been worried so I asked to come over and take a look. If you don't believe me, just ask Tan Mu!"
It was indeed he who first suggested coming back to see why they hadn't returned yet.
"Didn't you come back to see whether we were dead or not?" Sheng Zhao sneered.
Qiao Ge shuddered: "How could I!"
He tried to explain himself hoarsely, "I didn't know you were going this way. Fusheng and Shengning are so skilled, how could they not see it? They can find the way even without signs, so why should I bother?"
This is definitely the time when his mind works fastest.
At that time, we destroyed those signs out of a sense of luck. We thought that Fu Sheng was a child and no matter how capable he was, he would make mistakes. Look at Tan Mu, isn't he a simple-minded person?
And even if he fails, it doesn't matter. He still has some idea in his heart, knowing whether these people will become opponents or just be friends for the time being.
In fact, this is also what Sheng Zhao couldn't understand. Qiao Ge didn't have any private communication with other people, so they didn't expect this step. Even if they came here, it was their own idea.
At this moment, a voice interrupted: "Who said you must succeed?"
Sheng Ning and Sheng Zhao's expressions suddenly changed.
They were very familiar with this voice. From childhood to adulthood, they would always see this person whenever they could see their father.
Butler Cai came over with a few people, followed by the other two confused guests. Seeing this embarrassing scene, they were shocked beyond words: "What happened? What happened? Did you fall? Or did you fight?"
Butler Cai made a gesture to the people he brought with him, and two bodyguard-like people came forward to replace Sheng Ning and Sheng Zhao and pinned down Qiao Ge.
"It's one thing to do, but the consequences are another matter." Butler Cai said with a smile, "If someone really gets killed, that's what you don't want, right?"
Qiao Ge: "Who are you? I'm going to sue you for defamation."
Butler Cai took out a business card from his clothes: "Qiao Ge, my mother works at the National Grand Theater, my father is a director, date of birth..."
In a short period of time, all the information about this person was thoroughly investigated, even some unknown inside stories were revealed.
Qiao Ge interrupted him: "Enough!"
For the first time, he truly realized what the system meant when it said that the Sheng family was so powerful that their family could not take it seriously, and his eyes began to become evasive.
"The program has been suspended." Butler Cai turned and gestured to the two young ladies. After noticing the confused child next to them, he nodded slightly. "We will hand this person over to the police here. We apologize for scaring you."
After saying that, he had Qiao Ge taken away.
"No, no." What was even more chaotic than Qiao Ge was the system; its data was about to explode.
According to the original direction of this world, let alone the head of the Sheng family, even the brothers and sisters of the Sheng family would not appear very often. But why has Sheng Ning's luck not been affected, and the head of the Sheng family can come here?
Now everyone's situation has reached an outrageous level.
Could it be that the problem lies not with other people but with the data in the system? Is the data wrong?
"The system is detecting a fault..."
Qiao Ge rolled his eyes and almost fell over. "You're telling me about your fault detection at this time. What am I supposed to do?"
"This is a desolate mountain area," the system said. "As long as you deny it, nothing will happen."
As people walked away, Xiao Fusheng could no longer hear those voices.
She looked at the direction where the people left, and her face had a serious expression.
The other two adults were burdened with the same heavy burden as her.
For Sheng Ning and Sheng Zhao, there are plenty of ways to kill a Qiao Ge quietly, so they don't need to care at all.
What they really care about is the person they are about to face.
Sheng Shi’s information was wrong. The old man did not send someone to look for the child, but came in person.
This shows that the matter is far more serious than they thought.
If an ordinary person came, no one would dare to use force given Sheng Zhao's status, but the old man was different.
Just as he was thinking about it, Butler Cai turned around and said, "The master is waiting for the young ladies."
He leaned forward slightly and smiled at the child: "This one should come with us."
I'm talking about this person, not "Miss" like others.
Unlike the others who were nervous, Xiao Fusheng only noticed this stranger after he came to his senses: "Who are you?"
"I am the steward of the Sheng family."
Sheng family?
Mom's home?
"Oh." Xiao Fusheng turned around and took his mother's hand, "Are we going home now?"
It was then that she realized her mother's expression wasn't very good. She thought she must have been frightened by the bad guy. Xiao Fusheng comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Mom. I will protect you."
Sheng Ning hummed and picked up the child: "Let's go."
Since the show ended early, everyone had to go back to the director to see how to deal with it and go home.
When a few guests came over, they saw people standing in three layers inside and three layers outside. There were two people sitting in the middle. One was Director Cheng with a tense expression, and the other was an old man who was leisurely drinking tea.
Seeing the guests coming back, the people nearby also made way for them.
The other unrelated guests seemed to understand the identities of the butler and this person, and they did not rush forward. They found another seat and sat down.
When the old man in the middle noticed the movement, he raised his eyes slightly but didn't say a word.
Little Fusheng felt that his mother was holding him tighter.
Is mom scared?
Sheng Ning was naturally a little scared, because she knew clearly that she could not beat her father. In front of her father, her rank was nothing, otherwise the Sheng family would not have come this far.
But she still calculated ten thousand possibilities in her mind, and even thought about where she and Zizi would go to beg and work in the future.
At this moment, Sheng Zhao suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of the two men: "What are you doing here?"
Sheng Dong smiled: "You can come, but I can't?"
"The Yellow Wolf celebrates the New Year." Sheng Zhao said.
Butler Cai reminded: "Fourth Miss, that sentence is like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken."
Sheng Zhao was so anxious that she didn't care about Chinese or English. She spoke in a mixed bag of words, roughly meaning that she came with the instructions of her brothers and would not let anyone take the child away.
Even so, Sheng Dong could understand what she meant, and he didn't look annoyed: "We've only seen each other for a few days, and your feelings are so deep?"
"You wouldn't understand."
Sheng Dong's expression finally lightened a little, and he stood up: "Let's talk about family matters at home."
With so many people nearby cramming their ears into the air, they were almost ready to start a live broadcast to spread the news.
Sheng Zhao frowned: "Which home are you going back to?"
"Why," Sheng Dong said calmly, "I can't go to Sheng Huaishen's place?"
He really doesn't have much property here.
Fortunately, fortunately I am not allowed to go abroad.
Sheng Zhao had no intention of negotiating with him in this miserable state, as it would make him look much less imposing.
After coming out of the mountains, a doctor treated the small scratches on Sheng Zhao's body on the way.
Sheng Ning and Xiao Fusheng sat in the back and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Xiao Fusheng now understands the relationship between his grandfather and his mother. He is his mother's father, and his aunt doesn't seem to like him very much.
But should I call him grandpa?
I called my uncle and aunt, so as a polite child, I should call them too.
Look at the serious expression on grandpa’s face. Is it because mom hit someone today, so he came to educate mom?
Little Fusheng, who was following the adults with a small bucket of crayfish, was a little worried.
It is said that humans need to spank children to educate them.
After returning to Sheng Huaishen's house, Sheng Dong asked them to change their clothes. He didn't want to talk to them like this.
Looking at his mother bathing him, Xiao Fusheng asked, "Mom, should I call him grandpa?"
"No need." Sheng Ning rubbed her head. "Stay in the room for a while. Don't go out, okay?"
Xiao Fusheng nodded obediently: "Okay."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, but I want to wash this clean."
She was brought back before she even had dinner. What should she do with her crayfish? The conditions there were limited, but at home she had good conditions and could handle them cleanly.
Sheng Ning: "Give it to the chef."
"No, we dug it ourselves." Xiao Fusheng said, "Fusheng wanted to do it himself."
Anyway, he was going to talk to his father soon, so he wouldn't go to the kitchen.
Sheng Ning nodded: "Then go to the kitchen, and don't talk to anyone except those you know."
"Uh-huh."
After a while, my mother and my fourth aunt left with serious expressions on their faces.
Xiao Fusheng carried a small bucket of shrimps into the elevator going downstairs, but she never expected to meet the housekeeper. She stood in the corner with the bucket. Her mother told her not to talk to strangers, even the housekeeper.
Butler Cai asked gently, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Fusheng was silent.
Butler Cai was not surprised by this attitude. It must have been taught by the two young ladies, but he was here to look after the child, so he had to follow the child even if he didn't talk to him.
Soon the elevator stopped on the first floor, and Xiao Fusheng went out again carrying the bucket.
Seeing this, the chefs hurried forward and said, "Miss, leave this to us."
"No need to bother you guys." Little Fusheng protected his bucket, "This is what Fusheng wants to do, thank you."
Butler Cai, who was following behind, waved his hand and said, "Go and do what you need to do. The young lady and the master haven't eaten yet. They will eat in an hour."
Although it was their first time here, as long as the person's surname was Sheng, these people had to listen, not to mention that he was the head of the family.
The chefs immediately dispersed.
There is a low sink here, which is sometimes convenient for servants and chefs to sit and wash vegetables. Xiao Fusheng sits on a small stool, and the hustle and bustle around her seems to have nothing to do with her.
She was very skilled in her movements. She poured all the shrimps and snails into the pond and politely asked the chef next to her for a brush because she couldn't reach it.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Young lady, if you need any help, just let us know anytime."
"Okay."
Butler Cai kept holding the micro-video device in his hand, recording all her actions, and walked up to her again: "Can you do this?"
Since there were other familiar people here, Xiao Fusheng was not so defensive and nodded quietly.
"Then why do it yourself?"
Xiao Fusheng pursed his lips and raised his head: "Make it for that grandpa."
Butler Cai was stunned: "Why?"
"If Fusheng makes something delicious, that grandpa won't be so mean to mom and aunt. They didn't mean it." Little Fusheng said, "Do you know what else that grandpa likes to eat?"
"Can you cook?"
"I didn't know how to do it before, but I learned it later." Xiao Fusheng said honestly, "My dad and his friends wouldn't eat well."
And learning to cook is also very simple.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked.
"you say."
"Will that grandpa spank my mom and aunt?"
"..." Butler Cai almost couldn't hold back his expression, "No, he won't hit anyone."
"Will that be swearing?"
Butler Cai now suspected that the young ladies and young masters had said something in front of the child. Why did the child have such an image of the master in his mind? "Why do you think so?"
"Mom and Auntie have never acted like that." Little Fusheng asked, "Is it because they beat that bad uncle?"
"No, the bad guys brought this upon themselves. It has nothing to do with him," Butler Cai said. "Then can I ask you a question?"
It’s customary to reciprocate, and Xiao Fusheng nodded.
Butler Cai: "Do you know that you have no blood relationship with your mother?"
"I know."
"Then why do you need to look for your mother if you already have other fathers?"
Xiao Fusheng, who was brushing the crayfish diligently, tilted his head, not quite understanding: "Because she is my mother, why shouldn't she want it?"
"I heard that you and Miss Sheng Ning met online," Butler Cai said. "Do you meet a lot of people online and treat every one of them as your parents? How many parents do you have then?"
"a lot of."
Butler Cai was speechless. Was there something wrong with the child's comprehension ability? Or was there something wrong with his ability to express himself?
"Are you going to live with every one of them?"
"Yeah." He perked up when he mentioned this little Fusheng. "Fusheng is going to make money to buy a big castle for us to live in together."
castle?
Could this be her purpose in approaching the young lady? She knew she had a lot of real estate and a castle under her name, and she wanted to bring everyone else to live with her.
"You know what?" Butler Cai said, "The Sheng family cannot have children with other surnames. So even if the young lady recognizes you, the Sheng family won't recognize you because you are not their biological child."
Xiao Fusheng nodded: "Oh oh."
"You don't care?"
"Huh?" Xiao Fusheng looked up while holding a shrimp and asked doubtfully, "Why should I care?"
"If the Sheng family disowns you, it's very likely that the young lady will lose her inheritance rights because of you, and you'll be left with nothing."
After hearing this, Xiao Fusheng vaguely understood.
She threw the crayfish into the pond and frowned: "Does that little money also need someone to inherit it?"
Even the worldly-wise Butler Cai found this sentence a bit difficult to understand, and his words were a bit difficult to pronounce: "So... some money?"
What a niche text!
"I heard from my fourth aunt," Xiao Fusheng said, "My uncle's house is very poor, so you won't have much money either."
Butler Cai pressed his brows. It was impossible for a child of this age to be completely ignorant of the values of this world.
"Were you rich before?" he asked.
"That's right." Xiao Fusheng thought for a moment, "I live in the castle."
Live in a castle?
Then isn't her own family originally good?
"In that case, why are you still with your poor mother?"
"Because mommy works very hard." Little Fusheng said seriously, "Mom and daddy work very hard too, and Fusheng wants to help take care of them."
Okay, okay, these words are becoming more and more niche.
"Hard work?" Butler Cai was genuinely puzzled this time. "How is your mother's hard work? Is it just because you think she's poor?"
Little Fusheng thought this grandfather was so superficial: "Fusheng doesn't think being poor is hard."
Although her parents' houses are very small, she also knows that Aunt Huanhuan's house and Yanyan's house are even smaller, but she doesn't think they are hard-working. Instead, they are very happy.
She felt she needed to teach her grandfather a lesson: "You can work hard to earn money, but you can't make your parents unhappy."
"If they are not happy, then even if Fu Sheng has a lot of money and buys them a big castle, they will not be happy."
Butler Cai thought he understood, but he was amazed at the child's clarity of mind: "How do you know they are unhappy?"
Xiao Fusheng sighed and looked at him like a fool.
"My fathers used to be very gentle," he said. "Even though they didn't have money back then, they still made me happy every day. But when I saw them, they changed. No one was happy anymore. I wanted them to be happy."
"Where's Mom?" She lowered her eyes. "Mom has always been unhappy, and Fusheng just wants to talk to her."
She now understood that both this grandfather and that grandfather seemed to be saying that they did not like her existence.
Because this mother will be punished by them.
"You don't want your mother to recognize me, right?" asked Xiao Fusheng.
It’s hard to say about Butler Cai. Can he guess what the head of the family means?
"But Mom is very happy with me."
Butler Cai coughed lightly: "What if it's true? If you are not allowed to be with your mother, what will you do?"
Little Fusheng put down what he was doing and said solemnly, "Then Fusheng will take Mom away."
This is an answer that no one expected. How can a little kid like you take an adult away?
Butler Cai thought she was a child with wild ideas and had no idea how important the Sheng family was to Sheng Ning. All her financial resources and power came from the Sheng family. What else could she do without the Sheng family?
"You have no blood relationship with her," said Butler Cai, "but that man is her father, and she has brothers and sisters. Why did you take her away?"
Little Fusheng said with a stern face: "Mom used to have these people, but she was unhappy. What's wrong with Fusheng taking her away?"
"You have no money."
"I can earn money in life." Little Fusheng stood up. "I know a lot of things. I can raise my mother well. It's me who doesn't let those people raise her, not those people who don't let her raise me."
The moment his eyes met the child's, Butler Cai suddenly felt as if someone was staring into his soul.
He had been with the master of the house and had experienced many ups and downs in the world of fame and fortune over the past many years. He had also faced threats from many people, but this was the first time he had faced such a sincere child.
He fearlessly declared in front of him that he would fight against the Sheng family and take a young lady away.
But what is most touching is the determination and clarity in her eyes, which is different from everyone else's.
"You don't understand." Xiao Fusheng turned and was about to leave, "I'm going to find that grandpa."
She couldn't let her mother face this kind of thing alone.
Butler Cai quickly came to his senses and pulled her back: "Not yet."
On the other side, Sheng Dong, who was sitting on the sofa, took all the child's words and behavior into his heart. Seeing that the little guy was getting angry, he raised his eyes, took off his headphones and looked at his two daughters who were waiting in front of him.
"You called us here and waited for so long." Sheng Zhao frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"You've really grown up." Sheng Dong said with a smile, "You never spoke to your father like this before."
Sheng Zhao: "I never knew my father would be so overbearing as to take care of a child this young."
"Your hands are quite long, and you are very aware of my every move."
There is such a strong smell of tension between the father and daughter.
But Sheng Ning next to him remained silent.
Sheng Zhao said, "You can't drive this child away. She's not being raised under Sheng Ning's name anymore. At most, she's just a nominal mother. You have no say in her. Sheng Ning hasn't done anything bad to the Sheng family."
"You like that child very much?" Sheng Dong asked back, "Is that child related to you?"
"She's my sister's favorite child," Sheng Zhao said. "She calls me auntie, drinks from the same glass of water with me, and blows on my wounds."
"Am I missing you for these things?" Sheng Dong asked, "Is there not enough water to drink, or not enough family doctors?"
Chinese was too difficult, so Sheng Zhao went straight to English: "She treated me as a family member, not just a member of a company in a certain country that would only be gathered for an annual meeting for the sake of family reputation."
Sheng Dong suppressed his smile.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very tense.
"Father." Even though Sheng Zhao was mentally prepared to run away with her child and sister, she had never contradicted her father in all these years and didn't want to take things to that point.
"My brothers agreed to let me come here and also acknowledged this child," she said. "Our original intention was not to disobey you, but we felt that we had grown up so much and could not change. However, Sheng Ning is different from children. They should not become people like us. Is it true that the Sheng family is really unable to accommodate family affection?"
Sheng Dong's face suddenly darkened: "How outrageous!"
Sheng Zhao was happy: "This is the first time I see you angry."
I guess what he said came true.
Sheng Dong didn't want to pay attention to her. He took a deep breath and looked at the silent Sheng Ning: "What about you? Do you think the same about me?"
"Father." Sheng Ning raised his head. "It's the same as before. I have no grudges against you, but the same goes for Fu Sheng. I can't abandon her, and I can't give up on her."
"you……"
"I'm sorry," she said calmly, "but for so many years, she was the only person by my side. She was even more important to me than you and mother, even though we weren't related by blood."
Sheng Dong laughed angrily: "So I have become a sinner."
He stood up and threw the phone he was watching the video on onto the table. "Is this what you've learned all these years?"
Sheng Zhao thought he was going to have the child thrown out, so he immediately blocked the door and turned to Sheng Ning and said, "I'll stop them. You can just drive away with the child."
There was no other way now, Sheng Ning nodded.
"Sheng Zhao!" Sheng Dong felt like his head was about to explode.
If you say these young people understand him, they now think he is a heinous criminal and it seems that they are planning to break off relations with him.
You may say you don't understand, but among so many children, the one sent was Sheng Zhao, the most troublesome child.
Sheng Dong covered his chest, furious: "When did I ever tell you not to support her?"
The two sisters who were ready to run away: "?"
Their expressions became somewhat blank.
"Can you speak English again?" Sheng Zhao said blankly, "I think I didn't understand."
"..." Sheng Dong glared at them and said, "Sit down!"
The two sisters hesitated for a moment, but they knew in their hearts that their father would never brag, especially about such an important matter.
"What are you standing there for? Do you really think I'm the emperor?"
Only then did the two of them slowly sit down.
"Pour me a glass of water!"
Sheng Zhao rushed to pour a glass of water: "Drink it first."
After drinking a glass of water and calming down, Sheng Dong suddenly felt that they were not as sensible as a child. Other children could think things through so thoroughly, but these two were still so chubby at such a big age.
He glanced at the two familiar yet unfamiliar children. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Sheng Zhao had indeed touched the heart of his heart.
The absurdity of his youth meant that he would never be able to repay the debt owed to his children in this lifetime. He knew clearly that he had let down every wife, but he couldn't really let them live together, otherwise it would really cause chaos.
But having reached this position and possessing so many things, perhaps everyone has tacitly accepted this kind of relationship.
Later, a family rule was established not to acknowledge children of unknown origin, so that the younger generation would not make the same mistake again.
Such a huge family fortune certainly cannot be left to the children to squander, so even if he did not guide them, he tacitly accepted the way they got along since childhood, thinking that it would help cultivate outstanding descendants for the Sheng family.
In fact, it was cultivated, but what was lost was irreversible.
Only when people reach old age will they look back on what they have lost in their lives. When there is no one around them to talk to and only interests, they will know that they have done wrong in the past.
The reason why he cares so much about this child is not just because her origins are unknown, but because this child is so outstanding that she has surpassed ordinary people. She is even valued so much by the younger generation in the family. If she is used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.
He is the head of the family and of course he has the right to make the decision on such matters.
However, he didn't expect that in the eyes of the children, he had become an unkind person who only cared about his own interests.
Sheng Dong sat down again and looked at Sheng Ning: "Looking at your plan, you think that even if you break off relations with me, you still want to keep this child with you."
With almost no hesitation, Sheng Ning nodded.
"..." Sheng Dong stared at her for a long time, then suddenly looked away and said in a deep voice, "I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing to let your temper go."
"What about you?" he asked Sheng Zhao. "You haven't gotten married in all these years, and even after getting married, you don't want children. Is this also the reason?"
"I……"
"I've watched the show." Sheng Dong said, "To be honest."
Sheng Zhao waved his hands and said, "You've seen it all, so why are you asking?"
In fact, it is a good thing not to stay with these children. At least I won’t be angry to death. Sheng Dong turned his head and said: "I didn’t come here to take anyone away or let them leave."
He looked at his two children, not knowing when they last saw each other: "I just want to see what this little guy who brings you brothers and sisters together looks like."
Sheng Ning suddenly raised his eyes.
"Am I made of gold?" Sheng Dong knocked on the floor with his cane. "I'm made of gold from head to toe, but I have no heart and don't even treat you like children. Is that what you think?"
Neither of them said anything, which undoubtedly meant they agreed.
Sheng Dong: "Then why don't I strangle you to death in the womb?"
"It's illegal." Sheng Zhao replied.
Sheng Dong raised his crutch and watched her dodge backwards.
"Who will inherit your throne after we die?" Sheng Zhao said.
"Give it to charity." Sheng Dong sneered, "At least it can gain a good reputation. How could people cut off ties with me like now?"
"I'm sorry, father." Sheng Ning still didn't quite understand and asked again, "So you mean you won't interfere in what happens between me and Fusheng?"
Sheng Dong was silent for a long time. It turned out that he had not made up his mind before seeing the video.
But now, the children are willing to sever ties with me and run away just for a child, not to mention that the child really has a pure heart.
The Sheng family lacks this kind of thing the most.
Even he had to admit his failure, which led to the retribution he received today.
He glanced over and said, "I've never interfered in your affairs."
Sheng Ning was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"I'm old now, and most of the power is in your hands," Sheng Dong said. "Every day when I'm at home, I think to myself, 'I have so many children, but why don't any of them come to see me often?' Now I feel like I deserve it."
Neither of the two daughters said anything, because they felt the same way. It was what they deserved.
But I can’t say this now. What if there’s another fight later?
"Since you are all busy with work and no one is willing to give me a grandchild to play with, then give me a wild one to play with first."
“…”
Before Sheng Ning could say anything, Sheng Zhao jumped up: "Don't even think about it!"
Sheng Dong was so angry that he kept pounding his crutch on the ground: "How on earth did you grow up like this!"
"That little girl must not be with you. What if she doesn't learn the good things and instead learns all the bad things?" Sheng Zhao firmly disagreed. "We don't even dare to say that we can teach her well."
"you……"
Before Sheng Dong could finish his words, there was a knock on the door. He thought it was Butler Cai coming back, so he said unhappily, "Come in!"
The door creaked open, and it was indeed Butler Cai standing at the door, but a small head squeezed in from the gap next to him, and the eyes moved around to observe the scene thoroughly.
Fortunately, there was no fight.
When he heard the noise outside, little Fusheng thought it was his grandfather spanking his mother and aunt.
Xiao Fusheng tucked himself into the butler's waist and said, "Hello, may I come in?"
Sheng Dong: "Come here."
Xiao Fusheng went in, but she didn't go over. Instead, she went around behind her mother and aunt and asked in a low voice: "Mom, you didn't get spanked, did you?"
Sheng Ning protected her behind him: "I won't fight."
"That's good." Little Fusheng hooked his mother's hand and said, "Grandpa, if you have any problems, just tell me. I will protect my mother. If it really doesn't work out, I will raise her."
Sheng Dong listened to the joke like a joke: "Can you afford it?"
"I can still earn money," said Xiao Fusheng. "I'm not even six years old yet. I still have many years to earn money."
These words made both old people laugh.
"Okay." Sheng Dong put his crutch aside. "Isn't this better than you having the potential to be used as cattle and horses?"
"Father." Sheng Ning picked up the child. "Let's not talk about the fact that I don't have custody of her. Even if I did, she would have to live with me. The environment in that home is not suitable for her."
Although it sounds a bit harsh, it is the truth.
Not to mention the close relatives, even the side branches are ruthless and cannibalistic.
"Why should I raise her?" Sheng Dong said angrily, "Other people's children will bring their grandchildren home, but you don't even go home yourself."
"If she doesn't give birth to any of them, I won't listen to her and even say grandpa?"
Sheng Zhao: "That's it?"
She spread out her hands: "My brothers and I all brought gifts, but you didn't bring anything. Why do you want to be called grandpa?"
Little Fusheng in her mother's arms blinked her eyes and realized that her grandfather wanted her to go to his house to play.
"No need for a greeting gift." Little Fusheng said obediently, "Hello, Grandpa."
Sheng Ning moved his lips, but ultimately did not stop.
After all, the person in front of her is related to her by blood, and she did not expect this result this time.
At this chaotic moment, the cold home seemed to give her a brand new feeling that she had never experienced before. Her father also wanted to have a connection with her.
Sheng Dong had heard countless children call him "father" in his life, some sincere and some false, and he had also heard many people call him flatteringly, but this was the first time he heard a baby child call him "grandpa" in a baby voice.
There was no interest, no fear, it was just a name given to him because of the blood relationship as his daughter.
He walked forward slowly, and it was the first time since coming to the country that he saw the child up close and personal.
Sheng Ning subconsciously wanted to hold the child to the other side, but her father glared at her: "Will I eat her?"
Sheng Dong was lost in thought for a moment after seeing those eyes.
They really look alike, even though they are not related by blood, they look like one's own child.
A strange and complicated feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and he stretched out his hand: "Can I hug you?"
When Sheng Ning was hesitant, Xiao Fusheng had already extended his hand.
Sheng Zhao stood aside, silent for a long time before muttering, "I don't know if we were ever held in arms when we were little."
"I have." Sheng Dong gently lifted the child up, "I have held every one of you."
Although he was looking at the children, his words seemed to be directed to them: "As a father, I also hope that you can be like normal children."
He also looks forward to the annual family gathering, seeing his children happy to be around him.
But his children were different from the beginning.
Only when they were very young could he see that kind of pure dependence in their eyes, but these moments were often very short.
Once the children grow up, those pure memories are buried in their vague childhood memories, and they will forget that they once happily ran to their father to ask for a hug.
Until now, he is the only one who remembers it but cannot speak of it.
"I came back for another reason." Sheng Dong pinched the child's face and said with a smile, "I haven't bowed my head many times in my life, but children, I do have many things that I have let you down."
The two sisters were stunned.
Sheng Dong said, "I don't expect your forgiveness, but you should at least know that there is no father who doesn't love his children."
Eh?
Xiao Fusheng looked left and right, and things seemed different from what she expected.
"Your name is Fusheng?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
Sheng Dong didn't look back at his two daughters' expressions, but asked, "What gift do you want?"
Xiao Fusheng wanted to say that she really didn't need any gift, as she was a good and polite child.
But just as she was about to speak, she heard her grandfather say, "I heard you've always wanted a castle. I have quite a few."
Xiao Fusheng's eyes widened suddenly: "!!!"
