Shen Qingqing didn't have any expectations for this so-called "uncle". In fact, she had secretly guessed about Lin Chuyin's family before.

According to the original description, Lin Chuyin comes from a wealthy family and is a favored girl. She returned to her country after having a falling out with her family because of the scumbag Shen Hong, and has lost contact with her family since then.

In this regard, Shen Qingqing felt that Lin Chuyin was in love, but at the same time, she also felt that Lin's parents were not very good.

After all, Lin Chuyin is their biological daughter, but they just decided to ignore her and cut off all ties with her so cleanly and decisively. They didn't even come to see their daughter when she died of cancer. It is really incomprehensible.

In Shen Qingqing's view, no matter how huge the gap is, it should disappear in the face of life, and this is also the biggest reason why Shen Qingqing does not have much expectation for the Lin family.

Therefore, after hearing what Lin Chuchao said, Shen Qingqing felt very disdainful. Who does he think he is? Can he just ask her out if he wants to?

And he said he was his uncle, right? What if he kidnapped her?

So although Shen Qingqing had a smile on her face, she refused without hesitation, "I'm sorry, sir, it's almost time for the child to go to bed, and I have to take him home to rest. You can come visit us when you are free in the future."

Of course, this last sentence is just a courtesy.

Lin Chuchao was not surprised to hear Shen Qingqing's answer. His sister had a bad temper, so it was impossible to expect the daughter she raised to be a gentle girl.

He knew that in Shen Qingqing's eyes, the Lin family had not appeared for more than 20 years and had never cared about her, so it was normal for her to feel angry.

As an elder, he should naturally be more patient.

So he smiled and said politely, "Okay, Miss Shen, I will visit you when I go to give you the diamonds."

Now Shen Qingqing and the others naturally had no way of taking the diamonds back on the spot. After all, it was such a large sum of money, and even a bank transfer would take some time.

Is it necessary for him, the boss, to send her jewelry or something?

Shen Qingqing was speechless, but she couldn't refuse Lin Chuchao's words.

Forget it, come if you want. Anyway, Lin Chuchao is in her territory when he comes to Zhou's house, so she doesn't have to worry about him causing trouble.

Tonight's auction was one that everyone was very satisfied with. Shen Qingqing and her friends successfully bought the gems they liked, and Shen Linyan also felt that he had cheated Shen Qingqing out of a large sum of money. He was in a very good mood and everyone was happy.

Then everyone left and dispersed.

Considering that it was time for the children to rest, the family of three went straight home after confirming with the staff, and the old couple of the Zhou family also went straight back to their old house.

But the child was obviously very excited tonight. He still looked not tired at all while in the car. He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Dad, when will Yanyan's gift be delivered?"

What an anxious child! He was looking forward to having the gift for his mother delivered to him soon so that he could see it.

Zhou Yexuan held the child in his arms, thought for a moment, and replied, "Generally speaking, two or three days."

Zhou Jiayan was a little disappointed. "Ah, it turns out it will take so long. How many days will it take for Mom to wear the brooch Yanyan bought for her?"

It turns out to be disappointing!

Shen Qingqing reached out her hand, touched the child's head, and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Yanyan, I'll wear the brooch as soon as it's delivered, okay?"

The child then nodded happily.

However, to their surprise, Lin Chuchao delivered the three pieces of jewelry they had purchased the next day (the ones for Zhou's parents were naturally delivered directly to the old house).

At this time, Zhou Yexuan had already gone out to work, and Zhou Jiayan had also gone to kindergarten. Therefore, Shen Qingqing was the only one at home.

Looking at the warm smile on Lin Chuchao's face, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but suspect that he had deliberately chosen a time when no one was at home. After all, the money hadn't been transferred yet, but he had already delivered the things.

Besides, generally speaking, when visiting a family, one should do so when everyone is at home. By choosing a daytime on a weekday, didn't she calculate that she, an unemployed person, would be the only one at home?

Shen Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, it seems that our money hasn't been transferred yet. Aren't you afraid that we will take the things without paying?"

Lin Chuchao smiled indifferently, "The Zhou family is wealthy and powerful, I naturally believe that you will not default on your debt." What's more, Lin Chuchao had originally planned to give this most precious diamond to Shen Qingqing.

Although Shen Qingqing had many complaints about this so-called uncle in her heart, she also understood that the man in front of her was not someone who could be easily offended.

Besides, it is a good idea to not hit a smiling person. After Shen Qingqing saw the exquisite jewels in the three safes that were delivered, she felt that she could give this "uncle" half an hour to talk.

She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked the servant to serve tea and pastries.

Then Shen Qingqing sat on the sofa in the living room, looking like she was waiting for Lin Chuchao to speak.

Lin Chuchao was not satisfied with the environment in the living room. He whispered, "Qingqing, how about we go to the study to talk? I'm afraid there are too many people here."

Shen Qingqing felt that she didn't have any unspeakable secrets, so she didn't bother to go to the study.

What's more, this is Zhou Yexuan's home, and their actions are under the surveillance of the servants hired by Zhou Yexuan. If they really go to the study or something, it would seem like they have some secret, which would arouse suspicion.

So Shen Qingqing smiled and refused, "Mr. Lin, the people around here are our employees who have been employed for many years and are trustworthy. Besides, my relationship with you doesn't seem to be good enough to talk to you in private."

Seeing Shen Qingqing's refusal, Lin Chuchao also realized that he was not liked by his niece. After all, it was not something that could not be revealed.

He sighed and said resignedly, "Qingqing, I know it's hard for you to accept an uncle suddenly appearing, but I have my reasons for not showing up for so many years."

Shen Qingqing felt a headache when she heard the word "hardships". Why did someone always have to use the word "hardships" when doing something harmful or comparing it to other people? Even when Ye Liwen, the mistress, first entered the Shen family, she cried to her and told her that she had her own hardships.

"What's the reason?" Shen Qingqing sneered. "I don't care whether you come to see me or not, but I really want to know what's the reason why you haven't contacted your sister for more than ten years. Even when she got cancer because of being betrayed by her husband, you didn't show up to support her. I thought the Lin family was declining and no one would seek justice for Mom, but I didn't expect to see you now with all your limbs intact and in good spirits."

"I heard that you, Mr. Lin, have only completely taken control of the Lin family in the past few years. It seems that when no one can check and balance you, you suddenly remembered that you have a sister far away in the country and want to find the family affection you once had?"

Shen Qingqing's answer was really sharp, and it also touched the pain deep in Lin Chuchao's heart that he was unwilling to admit.

Indeed, no matter what his difficulties were, the final result was that he was unable to see his sister for more than ten years, even until his sister died. Even though he knew that she married the wrong person and had a very hard life in her later years, he was unable to help her.

In the final analysis, he was still selfish and cowardly. He was afraid that his father would be unhappy with him and lose the inheritance rights of the Lin family, so he didn't dare to come to see Lin Chuyin, and didn't dare to help her secretly, because his father said that he would make Lin Chuyin pay the price and admit defeat and go home. If they dared to help Lin Chuyin privately, they would be kicked out like Lin Chuyin.

However, what he didn't know was that time waits for no one. By the time he had grown up, his sister had already passed away.

"Qingqing..." Lin Chuchao murmured in a low voice, "It is your uncle who is sorry for you and your mother. I always thought that there was still a lot of time, but I didn't expect that things are unpredictable. By the time I was ready for everything, your mother was gone."

"So what are you doing here now? You didn't show up in the first twenty years of my life, so why do you show up now? If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, not many people will know about your relationship with me. Maybe I'll have to address you as Mr. Lin when we meet at a banquet in the future. Or did you miss more than twenty years of my mother's time, and now you come to me and want me to call you uncle affectionately?"

Although Shen Qingqing's words were very aggressive, Lin Chuchao knew that she was telling the truth.

If he could completely disregard the relationship between siblings, since his father had already said that the Lin family did not have a daughter named Lin Chuyin, then he could just pretend that he knew nothing.

But he couldn't do it. After gaining wealth, he wanted to regain the family affection he had lost.

He looked at this niece whom he had never met but only seen in her photo. It turned out that his secret thoughts were clearly seen by a girl in her early twenties.

Lin Chuchao sighed deeply, knowing that no matter how he explained, it would be useless. He could only say, "I admit that I was a bit cowardly in the past and didn't have the courage to resist my father. But Qingqing, I came here this time to really make it up to you and take care of you."

He pointed at the pink diamond and said, "Qingqing, before you bought this pink diamond, I thought if you liked it I could even give it to you directly. But then I saw that Zhou Yexuan bought it for you, which is not bad either. After this, I will transfer the money he used to buy this pink diamond directly to your account, as a gift from me to you."

After hearing what Lin Chuchao said, Shen Qingqing paused for a moment. She was about to scold Lin Chuchao, but the words were suddenly stuck.

Damn, this guy really wants to compensate me, he's not just joking, right?

He gave her such a huge gift all at once, she was too embarrassed to scold him. Did she think she was directly cashing out 180 million?

But soon Shen Qingqing began to despise herself. Although 180 million was a lot, she was not without that much money! She didn't know what this guy was thinking by giving her so much money at once.

So Shen Qingqing finally gritted her teeth and refused, "Mr. Lin, no need, I am not short of money. Besides, our relationship is naturally based on money and goods, it is best if we don't owe each other anything."

Lin Chuchao was not surprised that Shen Qingqing would refuse. After all, the Zhou family was not short of money, and Shen Qingqing grew up in luxury. Most importantly, the daughter raised by such a proud woman like his sister would definitely not be tempted by such a small amount of money.

He looked at Shen Qingqing, "Qingqing, you don't have to refuse. This is what you deserve. Although Dad said that he severed ties with your sister, in my heart, your sister will always be my sister, and she will naturally have a share of the Lin family's shares. Although your sister has passed away, you are her daughter, so this part of the shares is naturally yours."

Shen Qingqing was even more shocked. Although she didn't know the specific market value of the Lin family, but last night a small auction had attracted so many people from the upper class of City A. Naturally, the strength of the Lin family should not be underestimated.

Lin’s shares would naturally be a huge fortune many times more than 180 million.

This is really an exciting fortune. If she can get it, she can live a comfortable life like now even if she divorces Zhou Yexuan.

But what happened these days? Did the God of Wealth suddenly descend upon her? Why are so many people competing to give her money?

For a moment, she didn't know how to face this uncle who suddenly appeared and wanted to give her money...

Although Shen Qingqing was truly surprised by Lin Chuchao's generosity, she was also a very skeptical person.

After her initial surprise, she soon began to suspect whether this well-dressed man in front of her had some conspiracy.

Although after thinking about it, it seems that she has nothing that an overseas Chinese can use.

Could it be that the Lin family is going bankrupt, and he wants to dump the shares on her and then transfer the debt?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing still reluctantly refused, with an unmoved expression on her face, "Mr. Lin, forget it, I can't afford it."

Seeing his niece's righteous refusal, Lin Chuchao was even more impressed by how well her sister had taught her daughter, who remained unmoved by such a huge amount of wealth.

He knew that his niece would not forgive him for the time being, but there was no need to rush. After all, he would be staying in the country for a long time, so he could take it slowly.

He sighed helplessly and said to Shen Qingqing, "I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while, and I won't force you. But it doesn't matter. We still have a lot of time in the future. I will prove to you that I really want to take care of you and make up for the shortcomings in the past."

After saying this, Lin Chuchao also knew that Shen Qingqing didn't like him, so he said a few more polite words and turned away.

Shen Qingqing looked at Lin Chuchao's disappearing back, feeling a mixture of emotion for a moment.

She only knew that Lin Chuyin came from a good family, but she didn't expect it to be such a wealthy family. However, because she fell in love with a scumbag, she broke up with her family and embarked on a path of no return.

If she had not met Shen Hong, with her abilities, she would most likely be fighting in the business world now, or even become the head of Lin's family, instead of being so angry that she got cancer and now being reduced to nothing but dust.

She couldn't help but think of Zhou Jiayan's biological mother, who was also unlucky in marriage, or even worse, and died early.

However, that scumbag Xia Yang is still in prison, which can be considered as his retribution. Her scumbag father is still living happily, surrounded by his lovely wife.

Shen Qingqing couldn't help but clench her fists. What should she do? She wanted to beat that scumbag father to death.

In the evening, both Zhou's father and son arrived home on time.

However, Shen Qingqing, who was always cheerful and carefree, was actually sitting on the sofa in the living room with a serious face.

After Zhou Yexuan asked the housekeeper, he found out that it was Lin Chuchao who came under the pretext of delivering jewelry.

Shen Qingqing would be suspicious of the name Lin Chuchao, and Zhou Yexuan would naturally be suspicious as well, so in the afternoon he saw the detailed information about the relationship between Lin Chuyin and the Lin family.

It turns out that Lin Chuyin is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and she followed Shen Hong back to China for the so-called love.

She was the eldest daughter carefully nurtured by the Lin family, so naturally she had extraordinary means. No wonder she was so calm when she saved him.

However, such a smart woman still fell into the trap of a scumbag.

It’s hard to tell who is luckier between Lin Chuyin and her sister. Although Shen Hong cheated on her, at least he was not a complete liar who would kill for money. Lin Chuyin was able to raise Shen Qingqing until she was sixteen years old.

However, Xia Yang was sent to prison by him, but Shen Hong was unharmed and even his business has grown bigger in recent years.

Before he went home, he was still struggling over whether to tell Shen Qingqing about this, but he didn't expect that Lin Chuchao had already come to his door, so it seemed that Shen Qingqing already knew about it.

And seeing that Shen Qingqing had a heavy expression on her face, could it be that Lin Chuchao had made things difficult for her?

However, the information he received showed that Lin Chuchao was a gentle, elegant and upright person. Would he come here on purpose to embarrass Shen Qingqing?

But after he left, Shen Qingqing's demeanor was clearly wrong.

Just as Zhou Yexuan was about to step forward to ask for comfort, the three-headed figure got there first.

He ran to Shen Qingqing and looked at her with big eyes, "Mom, are you unhappy? If you are unhappy, tell Yanyan and she will help you defeat him!"

Seeing his son stealing his lines again, Zhou Yexuan felt mixed emotions. He really had an urge to spank his son. Didn't he know that he should give his parents some time to spend together?

But the incident had already happened, and Zhou Yexuan could only think about when to educate the child in private. Now he could only step forward to make amends and said, "Qingqing, if you have anything to say, you can tell us. After all, we are a family."

Listening to the questions from the father and son, Shen Qingqing felt much more relieved, especially when seeing Tuanzi's eyes filled with deep worry.

She reached out her hand and touched the child's face, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Oh, actually it's not that I encountered any bad things, I just remembered some past events."

Zhou Jiayan's little head showed a big puzzlement, "What past events?"

This was not a secret, and Shen Qingqing didn't want to lie to anyone. Moreover, with Zhou Yexuan's ability, she couldn't hide it from him at all.

So Shen Qingqing tried her best to explain in words that the child could understand, "Today, a man who claimed to be my mother's uncle came to me and said that he wanted to give me the 180 million pink diamond and give me a share of his family's property. He also told me that he felt that my mother would always be his sister."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiayan's eyes, which were full of doubt just now, instantly turned into surprise. He already knew what 800 million meant.

He rubbed Shen Qingqing's face with his little head, "But isn't this a good thing? Someone wants to give you a gift, just like Yanyan, she only gives you a gift because she likes you."

Shen Qingqing smiled bitterly when she heard the child's innocent words. "But what I can't understand is why they didn't come when my mother was alive. Why didn't he come to help my mother when she found out that the mistress got cancer because of her husband's anger? Moreover, the person who bullied my mother was my father. He is still living a good life and has a new wife. It seems that he has not received any retribution at all."

"And what's even sadder is that he is my father. I have no legitimate reason to take revenge on him."

What Shen Qingqing didn't finish saying was that in her memory, Shen Hong was like a kind father to her when he brought Xiao San and her daughter into the house.

Lin Chuyin would often discipline her, and she had to fulfill Lin Chuyin's requirements before she could buy anything she wanted.

But Shen Hong often brought her all kinds of toys she wanted in private, occasionally a Barbie doll, and even took her to the playground. It can be said that for the original body, before her mother fell ill, she and Shen Hong were even closer.

However, after Lin Chuyin passed away, Shen Hong seemed like a different person, which was why his original self was so hysterical and unwilling.

Also because of this memory, Shen Qingqing, who traveled through time, never did anything to Shen Hong. Instead, she thought that as long as Shen Hong didn't bother her, she would just stay away from Shen Hong.

But now she thought of her mother who was buried in the cemetery. What a miserable life she had lived. If only she had not met Shen Hong and given birth to her.

Thinking of this, tears involuntarily flowed from Shen Qingqing's eyes.

Zhou Jiayan, who was closest to Shen Qingqing, was the first to see the tears in her eyes. He was immediately panicked. Why was his mother suddenly crying?

In his memory, adults seldom cried, and once they did, it was when something very sad happened.

He hurriedly reached out his hand and touched Shen Qingqing's face, trying to wipe away Shen Qingqing's tears.

However, his hands were too small, and Shen Qingqing's face was covered with tears.

He turned his head and looked at his father beside him, a little confused, his eyes full of help. What should I do? Mom is crying!

Zhou Yexuan sighed in his heart. He knew very well why Shen Qingqing was crying. Aren’t Lin Chuyin and Zhou Ruoyan alike?

He was so angry when he thought about what happened to his sister that he wanted the scumbag to be shot to death, not to mention Shen Qingqing, who was a woman.

He picked up the tissue on the table and began to wipe the tears from Shen Qingqing's face, and comforted her softly, "Qingqing, it's all over. The important thing is to look forward. And we will all help you."

Shen Qingqing also knew this truth, and it was really embarrassing to cry like this in front of a child!

She reached out her hand and pulled out a few more tissues. After cleaning herself up, she smiled at the Zhou family father and son and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just suddenly felt something."

After saying that, she smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "Hey, let's go eat. The kitchen has prepared a big meal today. I'm so hungry from crying."

Zhou Jiayan didn't doubt it, nodded, and said with a smile, "Then mom will have to eat more to replenish energy later. Yanyan doesn't have to fight with mom for the chicken leg today."

Shen Qingqing didn't expect that "crying" could have such an effect, and asked with a smile, "If I cry again tomorrow, can Yanyan continue to give me the chicken leg?"

Zhou Jiayan also heard the teasing in Shen Qingqing's words at this time. He was being teased by his mother again!

So he said angrily, "Mom, Yanyan won't do it today! Yanyan wants to snatch the big chicken leg from you!"

As he said that, he rushed to his own chair in front of the table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and was ready to grab the chicken leg at any time.

Seeing Zhou Jiayan no longer worried about her and regained his vitality, Shen Qingqing was completely relieved. If possible, she still didn't want the child to worry about her.

Thinking of this, she rushed to the dining table, looking eager to get started.

There was no way Shen Qingqing could hide this from Zhou Yexuan's eyes. He knew that Shen Qingqing didn't want to make the child worry, but the knot in her heart was still there and had never disappeared.

He pinched his brows and thought, no matter what choice she made, he would support her behind her back and would never let her and her son come to any harm.

And Shen Qingqing should have something to say to him tonight.

Sure enough, after finishing his meal, Zhou Yexuan returned to his study to work, and soon after, he heard a knock on the door.
