Chapter 426 I'm a mama's girl and a brother's girl
“Have some decency, Brother Jingxu.” Shen Buyu disagreed with Si Jingxu’s actions. “Xiaobao is only one year old.”
“Yes, as you said, he’s only one year old. He can’t even walk steadily yet, how can I give him the ring at the wedding?” Si Jingxu put a piece of beef on her plate. “I won’t allow any mistakes to happen at our wedding. Buyu, I want to give you the most perfect and grandest wedding.”
“I understand what you mean, but you can’t use Jinbao to bully Xiaobao. Jinbao’s IQ is equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child,” Shen Buyu picked up his phone. “I’ll pick out some toys and you can come with me to deliver them tomorrow.”
Si Jingxu didn't say anything, but just put the food she liked on her plate.
Neither set of parents had any specific requirements regarding the wedding date, so they chose two months later.
Ling Huiwen held Chen Buyu's hand tightly, stroking it again and again, her eyes full of affection. "Oh my, after waiting for so many years, I'm finally going to welcome you home."
Shen Buyu smiled generously, "Aunt Huiwen, thank you."
“Yes, let’s call her Aunt Huiwen for another two months, because we won’t have the chance after that,” Ling Huiwen teased her. “That’s great.”
They got engaged a month later and married two months later.
Time is a bit tight, but there are a lot of people in my family.
Long Yu cried three times before finally managing to snatch the engagement banquet planning.
Looking at the dowry she had prepared over the years, Shen Zhiye still felt it wasn't enough. Every day, the first thing she did upon waking up was to choose things for her child.
Lan Xinyan was busy choosing dresses and jewelry for her daughter. This one looked good, that one looked even better. She prepared more than a dozen outfits just for the engagement banquet.
Shen Yanzhou organized all the documents, including the equity transfer agreement, and explained them to his sister point by point before watching her sign them.
"Big brother, I'll just sign it. You wouldn't want to harm me."
Shen Yanzhou carefully put the documents away and handed them to the lawyer, telling her very seriously, "You need to put your name on paper. Never trust anyone, not even your closest family members. You need to analyze each point one by one. If you don't understand, you can find several lawyers to help you. Never blindly sign your name."
Shen Buyu nodded. "I understand, brother. Even if it's my own husband who needs to sign, I need to make sure I understand it."
Shen Yanzhou left satisfied.
Song Jingyi brought out all the dowry he had prepared for her over the years: an island, a yacht, a private jet...
“These are nothing. They’re not even a tenth of our family fortune. If you work hard, help your brother spend more. Also, I’ve opened a Swiss bank account for you. Even if you buy a sports car every day, it will take you hundreds of years to buy one.”
Shen Yunqi appears carefree, but in reality, he has already broken down.
Seeing the busy people in his family every day, his mental defenses were about to crumble.
I was drinking alone in the rooftop garden at night, and the cool breeze made me feel like I was back in my childhood.
The weather seemed to be similar when his mother left Lao Shen with him after her divorce.
However, he didn't understand much at that time; he only knew that he could stay with his mother.
And not long after he fell into this cold spell, he met the little sister who would warm his heart for the rest of his life.
The weather was the same, the temperature was the same, but his heart was much colder now than it had been then.
My younger sister is getting married.
Why……
"Why……"
A sigh came from behind.
Shen Yunqi didn't even turn his head. "What are you doing up here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Looking for my brother?" Shen Buyu, wrapped in his coat, sat down on the chair next to Shen Yunqi.
I poured myself a glass of wine.
"Are you cold?" Shen Yunqi asked her. "Go back to your room and go to sleep."
“A little wine will warm you up,” Shen Buyu said, taking a sip. “Why do you all love drinking strong liquor?”
"I'll get you another one," Shen Yunqi said, getting up to leave.
"No," Shen Buyu stopped him, "I want to drink this. I want to see how much I can drink. I don't trust others to drink with me. You can take me back to my room later."
"Drink it," Shen Yunqi said, no longer insisting.
He felt that this was not bad; people should always have a clear understanding of their own alcohol tolerance.
In the future, when socializing, I need to be more mindful of my options.
“Brother,” Shen Buyu looked up at the sky, lost in memories, “when we first met, it seemed to be the same weather, cold, with few stars, and the moon looked like an ice sculpture that could light up.”
“Hmm,” Shen Yunqi looked up, “You’re so thin, like a little monkey, which makes your eyes look bigger.”
He thought she was only four or five years old at the time.
He was being led by Yan Qihang, his face full of vigilance and trembling.
He assumed she was just shy, but later he learned that she was afraid to be touched because Yan Qihang had hit her.
"Am I too stupid? I didn't even know you had been abused by him at first, otherwise I would have poured rat poison into his bowl back then." Shen Yunqi turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
“It’s not worth it, brother. Your life is so wonderful, you shouldn’t get involved in the karma of this kind of person. Besides, if he had treated me badly, I might not have gone with you and Mom back then. So, everything is predestined.”
Things that seem unrelated are actually interconnected, and the absence of any link will directly affect the final outcome.
"I just... won't say anything more." Shen Yunqi tilted his head back and finished the drink in his glass.
“They’re reluctant to part with me,” Shen Buyu also took a sip. “It’s only natural that I’m so outstanding.”
Shen Yunqi chuckled twice. "Who's talking? Shen Buyu, why are you being so immodest?"
"It's all thanks to you for raising me so well." Shen Buyu looked over with a smile. "Brother, you were the one who held my hand when I took my first step towards courage."
He told her: If anyone bullies you at school, just mention my name.
He told her: "Kicking that grandson to death is my responsibility. I'm underage, and Dad has money. I'm not afraid of trouble."
He told her: You're prettier than the school beauty queen, so stand tall and look ahead.
He also told her: When we get to the Shen family, stand behind me, and I'll see who gets yelled at.
Shen Buyu spoke softly, reminiscing about the past that belonged only to the two of them.
Those are the bits and pieces of their growth.
He turned that timid, silent little darling into a chatterbox.
He encouraged her to study hard and promised to support her and her mother in the future.
Unbeknownst to us, so many years have passed.
Tears streamed down Shen Buyu's face like beads from a broken string.
Shen Yunqi wasn't much better off.
He doesn't consider himself a sentimental person, and he once mocked Shen Zhiye and Shen Yanzhou for being easily moved to tears.
But now, he can't control himself anymore.
The tears just wouldn't stop.
“Brother,” Shen Buyu wiped his face and raised his glass, “Let’s clink glasses.”
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Shen Yunqi asked, still reaching out his hand.
“As the younger sister of Young Master Shen, of course I’m in charge.” Shen Buyu smiled and downed a glass.
"Slow down." Shen Yunqi quickly handed her the snack box. "Have a bite."
Shen Buyu shook her head. "Brother, I will still come home often. I am a mama's girl and a brother's girl. Just don't bother me."
