Shen Shixun glanced at Sona, "Don't be nervous, the client said they need to consider it."
"What did you say? Why did you suddenly ask me to come out? I wanted to go in and listen, and I could say a few words to help."
“I’ve met this client before.”
"It's an acquaintance, it's even easier with an acquaintance!"
When Shen Shixun returned home, his mother was holding Deji in the sun. Deji had been walking non-stop since he could barely walk, walking very fast and impatiently, as if he was eager to learn to run before he could even walk steadily.
Mother Shen chased after him, her back bent. She didn't know when it had happened, but Mother Shen had started to hunch over, her face was full of wrinkles, and her eyesight was not very good.
Even threading a needle requires Gila's help.
Gila's Lausanne is also growing up very well. Gila spends her days taking care of the children and helping out on the farm.
Rooney, needless to say, was busy from morning till night without feeling tired or out of breath. He got along very well with Qiu Er and Benhao, often asking them what it was like to be with women in Mancheng County, and whether women outside were any different from women on the grasslands.
Rooney was curious, but Shim Sehun couldn't stand it. Every time he overheard something, he would kick Rooney in the butt.
Rooney rubbed his butt and hind leg, "I was just asking, what's wrong with asking? Even if I've never eaten pork, I should at least know how a pig runs..."
Shen Shixun kicked again, and Rooney quickly ran away, cursing, "That's how pigs run! You're not even as fast as a pig!"
A burst of laughter erupted around them. Gila, completely bewildered, ran over carrying Lausanne from afar, crying, "Big brother, why did you hit Rooney again? Don't hit him!"
“Father…”
When Deji saw Shen Shixun, she wanted to hug him and snuggled against him. The man picked Deji up and let her face rest against his chest.
Upon seeing this, Mother Shen smiled with her eyes slightly narrowed and took the dried mushrooms off the rope.
"Mother..."
"Why……"
"Are your eyes alright?"
Mother Shen shook her head, "It's all so numb and fuzzy."
“Mother, Losang…”
"Sehun, come here!"
Mother Shen carried Deji back, saying, "I'm taking my son to rest first. You go ahead with your work."
Shen's mother was not clear-headed about anything else, but she knew how to take care of her child. She regarded Deji as her younger self and lived in the past. But this made her feel good. She was calm every day and did not cry or make a fuss.
Jira said, "It's good that Mom is like this. I don't have to worry about her getting into trouble anymore. It's much better than before."
"What if one day she realizes it's all fake?"
It's alright to live in a dream, but then she suddenly woke up and realized that her children were all grown up and had their own children, while she was still pacing in the same place, still waiting for that unattainable wish.
"No, even if that day really comes, let's see. Who can say for sure right now?"
“Gira”.
"Um?"
"What if Father really finds us one day?"
"Of course, it's a family reunion. Grandma must miss him terribly."
"What if he already has a family?"
Gila was taken aback for a moment. "They're our family too, aren't they?"
"Women on our grasslands also get pregnant while hiding in tents. They won't be looked down upon after they get married. They're all from the same tribe, all family."
Don't you hate it?
Gila hugged Losang, looking every bit like a mother, but her eyes were still like a child's. "Big brother, why are you acting so strange? With you, with Mom by my side, with Rooney, with Losang, I'm fine. What do I have to hate?!"
He told Xiang Nanzhi the same thing back then: he has a mother and a sister, that's good enough.
He loved Xiang Nanzhi so much that he lost himself in the process.
Shen Shixun did not compromise with Li Qingyuan. He was unwilling to bow his head or admit defeat, and rejected Li Qingyuan that very night.
My father, who hasn't appeared for so many years, suddenly showed up, with such an arrogant attitude. If he were to bow down to him, he would be letting down my mother after all these years of waiting.
She is old, her mind is confused, and her memory is disordered, but as long as one lives a lifetime, one should strive to have a clear conscience.
Li Qingyuan was not involved in his past life, and there's no need for him to be involved in his future life either!
He wasn't raised by heaven, but by his mother. He absolutely cannot betray his mother. Once he acknowledges his status as an illegitimate child, his mother will be seen as a wild woman by outsiders...
My mother was clearly the legal wife, not some other woman.
That night, Li Luchuan came to Li Qingyuan's study. Li Qingyuan had not seen him since the last time.
"Lu Chuan, you did a great job on this."
Li Luchuan's eyelids twitched. "It was an accident. You wouldn't have known otherwise."
"Since you and Xiang Nanzhi are friends, then I'll let you do him a favor."
"What?"
"Tell her Sehun's location."
Li Luchuan was stunned, "Dad, you..."
"Since he refuses to come back with me, let the Xiang family teach him a lesson, let him know that if he's not my son, Li Qingyuan's son, he can't even make decisions for his own flesh and blood. Then he'll..."
Li Luchuan couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, your methods are truly unexpected."
I knew Shen Shixun was a tough guy, but I didn't expect him to be this tough. But the old man is even tougher than him.
"I'll leave it to you to handle. Just do it."
"What if he still doesn't compromise? The Xiang family beat him half to death before, but if he doesn't want to, no one can force him."
"I have plenty of ways. You go and do it first, and make amends for your mistake."
Li Qingyuan specifically mentioned the phrase "make amends for past mistakes," so whether Li Luchuan wanted to or not, he had to bite the bullet and do it.
The next morning, as Xiang Nanzhi's car was leaving the parking lot, Li Luchuan blocked her way.
Xiang Nan pressed the horn, but the car didn't move, so she had no choice but to get out of the car.
"Nan Zhi..."
"Could you please move aside?"
Are you cold?
"It's not cold, move your car."
In the dead of winter, Xiang Nanzhi wore a white down jacket and a nude pink scarf, which made her face look only the size of a palm.
"Have breakfast with me."
"have eaten."
Xiang Nanzhi had grown accustomed to his coldness and could no longer bring herself to look at him with the same kindness she had shown before. Seeing that he remained motionless, she frowned slightly, "Li Luchuan..."
If Shen Shixun really goes back to Li Ran, she will no longer contact him about business matters, and they will completely cut off all communication.
Therefore, Li Qingyuan did the right thing by letting him find Xiang Nanzhi now and sever all ties with Shen Shixun. This will make his future path much easier.
Li Luchuan calmly took out a photograph from his hand. "Do you remember this Buddha statue?"
"I'm really in a hurry."
"Believe me, nothing is more important than this. Let's find a place to sit down and have a chat."
"Li Luchuan, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"I was afraid you'd be cold."
What's wrong with the Buddha statue?
Xiang Nanzhi took the photo from his hand. "What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course they are related."
