Chapter 250 So What If I Guessed It?
Lan Xinyan carried the ginger tea upstairs without saying a word, having already composed herself.
"Baby, come sit down for a while, you must be exhausted." She gently tucked a stray hair behind her daughter's ear. "You've also taken care of all the things related to your brother."
"Oh, I was only in charge of making an invitation and a banner. Long Yu and Jing Xu did all the decorations at home. I was just in charge of eating." Yan Buyu held up her bowl, blew on it, and said, "Mom, have a drink."
"Thank you." Lan Xinyan put down her spoon, picked up the bowl, and drank most of it in one gulp.
The sweet, hot soup, mixed with the spiciness of ginger, made my eyes water after drinking it. "This hot soup makes me sweat right after drinking it. Want some?"
Lan Xinyan smiled and asked without answering.
The girl shook her head. "I don't want to drink anymore, Mom. Can you get some rest? No matter what happens, you'll always have me. Even if you argue with Uncle, my older brother, my younger brother, and my older brother will all stand by you."
“Then I’m so happy, my children are all so good,” Lan Xinyan rubbed her cheek. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing with your uncle. He just ran into a friend and was called away for drinks. It’s normal.”
"Mmm." Yan Buyu smiled and said goodnight to her mother.
How could that be normal? My uncle hasn't gone out drinking with people at night for years.
I might have social engagements at dinner time, but definitely not around bedtime.
If her mother didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't press her for details.
All she needs to do is quietly stay by her mother's side.
Back in my room, after washing up, I prepared to video call Si Jingxu.
Two soft knocks on the door.
It is Chen Yanzhou.
"Big brother, is something the matter?"
"Here, take this," Shen Yanzhou said, handing over a rectangular box. "See if you like it."
"I got another gift!" Yan Buyu said with a smile as she opened the package. "I received more gifts than my brother today."
Inside the box was a necklace with a square-cut diamond hanging from a platinum chain; it looked to be about ten carats.
"What a huge diamond!" Yan Buyu exclaimed sincerely, his eyes shining brighter than the fire of a diamond. "I'm rich, brother."
The little money-grubber's antics are absolutely hilarious.
Shen Yanzhou couldn't help but laugh, and raised his hand to rub her head, "There will be many more in the future, such as the Princess Fang diamond necklace, which will be given to our little princess."
"Thank you, brother." Yan Buyu clutched the box tightly. "I will cherish every gift you have given me and will never sell them for cash."
Shen Yanzhou chuckled softly; how could his sister be so adorable?
Go to sleep, goodnight.
Goodnight, brother.
Just as she finished putting the necklace away without saying a word, there was another knock on the door.
The force was a little stronger and faster than before.
"Brother." Yan Buyu smiled and opened the door.
Shen Yunqi stood outside the door, holding a card in her hand, striking a smug pose, "Hey, my dearest little sister, want my bank card?"
"No." She said, and then tried to close the door.
"Hey, hey, you child," Shen Yunqi quickly said, holding the door open. "You've gone astray."
Yan Buyu laughed until his stomach hurt, leaning against the door, "Why did you give me the card?"
"This is the bonus my brother gave me, it's yours." Shen Yunqi shoved the card into her hand. "Eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, your brother can support you."
Without saying a word, he gripped the card tightly. "I'll keep it for you."
"Why save?" Shen Yunqi pinched her cheek. "Spend what you need to spend. All that money at home will just go to waste if we don't spend it. Your brother will only give you more in the future. Buying a Rolls-Royce is just a matter of a word, okay?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for that day, brother." Yan Buyu's eyes shone with determination. "My brother is the best, and that day will come very soon!"
"That's right, go to sleep." Shen Yunqi raised his chin.
It was a little later than usual when I sent the video call to Si Jingxu. The first thing he said when he answered was, "Are you alright?"
Without saying a word, he asked with a puzzled look, "Why not?"
“You’re too tired today,” Si Jingxu said with a smile. “Oh, I forgot to tell you, the development project for Walnut Town has been approved. Get the money ready and get ready to upgrade to General Manager Yan.”
"So fast?" Yan Buyu had almost forgotten about it lately because she had been so busy.
"When it comes to making money, of course we have to move forward." Si Jingxu changed his position, leaning against the headboard. "I hope we can start operating before you graduate from university. It would be a good graduation gift for you."
Yan Buyu made an excuse that his phone was out of battery and refused Si Jingxu's request to sleep while video chatting.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on my face vanished.
Each one of them is strange.

A rooftop restaurant with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows offering river views.
Shen Zhiye and Song Shuchen dismissed their attendants, leaving only the two of them.
Shen Zhiye filled their glasses with wine. "You haven't been back for years. The capital has changed a lot, hasn't it?"
“Yes, I almost don’t recognize you anymore,” Song Shuchen picked up his wine glass. “You haven’t changed at all.”
“We just met,” Shen Zhiye said, taking a sip of his drink. “How is your grandson?”
Song Shuchen clicked his tongue, shook his head with a smile, and said, "My son is incredibly audacious and acts recklessly."
"What happened?" Shen Zhiye asked curiously. "Did you quarrel with your son?"
"That brat, he gave me a fake son to pretend to be his grandson. I only found out after the full-month celebration that it was his subordinate's child. Can you believe it?" Song Shuchen didn't feel ashamed at all, but said it as if it were a joke.
Shen Zhiye took a sip of wine expressionlessly. He didn't know whether the other person's words were true or false, but he felt that the other person was implying something.
Song Shuchen looked up and said, "You're really good at raising children. Your eldest son is quite famous, and I heard that your younger son is also becoming somewhat well-known now."
“They’re all children under Xinyan’s care,” Shen Zhiye chuckled. “The children are closer to her than to me.”
“Sigh, if Qingzhi hadn’t gotten sick, she would definitely have taught her child well,” Song Shuchen changed the subject, “Your daughter is twenty-one, right?”
Shen Zhiye put down his wine glass. "Mm."
It's obvious that he doesn't want to say more.
Song Shuchen continued, "Fate is cruel. Back then, Qingzhi and I had a misunderstanding and got divorced. Someone took advantage of my vulnerability and took advantage of me. Who knew she was pregnant at the time?"
Shen Zhiye poured himself another glass of wine, remaining silent and listening to the other person recount their past.
"But guess what? I only recently found out that the child who was taken away back then wasn't Qingzhi's child at all. Our child belongs to someone else."
“Heh,” Shen Zhiye laughed, “Shuchen, you flew all the way from Italy just to tell me stories.”
Song Shuchen smiled, stood up, picked up the wine bottle next to him and poured wine for Shen Zhiye. "Zhiye, you're a smart man, you should have guessed it."
"So what if you guessed it? She's my daughter. She came to our family when she was eight years old and has been with us for thirteen years. She's a child of the Shen family."
