Chapter 159 Only those who expect will be wronged
After dinner, the other members of the Shen family went to sit in the main hall. Shen Jiazhou watched them falsely complimenting each other and glanced at the watch on his wrist. Coincidentally, Mr. Shen, who had just finished breathing oxygen, also came over with a cane.
He had a smile on his face: "We are a family, this is what we should do, sitting together and accompanying an old man like me."
When people get old, they like scenes like this the most. Mr. Shen looked at Shen Jiazhou and said, "Remember to bring our Cancan here next time. He looks exactly like your brother when he was a child. He is so smart. He will definitely be a good child of our Shen family in the future."
After Mr. Shen finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the others were slightly interesting. Shen Jiazhou pretended not to see it and stood up from the sofa: "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
He walked towards the elevator on the side. Mr. Shen wanted to say something, but after Shen Jiazhou had already walked towards the elevator, he signaled the housekeeper to help him walk slowly over.
The three of them took the elevator to the second floor, which was the Shen family's study. The entire floor was connected.
Shen Jiazhou and the housekeeper said, "You go down first."
He stroked Mr. Shen's arm and slowly walked with him to the sofa in the study.
After helping him sit down, Mr. Shen took a break, then sighed and said, "Jia Zhou, Grandpa is old. You see, it's only a few steps. You need to take a good rest."
Shen Jiazhou said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, you are still very young."
Mr. Shen waved his hand: "You don't have to say these words to comfort me. I know very well what my physical condition is. I don't have many days left to live."
He sighed and said, "Before I die, I want our family to be harmonious, so that when I go down to reunite with your grandma, she won't chase me and beat me."
Shen Jiazhou didn't say anything, but just walked to the side and brought back two cups of warm water.
He handed a cup to Mr. Shen and sat on the single sofa with a cup in his hand.
Old Master Shen continued to look at him: "Jia Zhou, I know why you came back tonight. Cancan is your brother's child. He is destined to return to the Shen family. When he returns to the Shen family, he can use all the resources of the Shen family. This will be a very powerful help to him now and in the future."
"I sent that statement because I thought about it. And Cancan's aunt, if she is willing to hand over the custody, I can give her a large sum of money so that she can live a better life. Even if she misses Cancan, the door of our Shen family will always be open to her, and she can visit Cancan anytime, anywhere."
Shen Jiazhou drank half of the water and then put the cup on the coffee table.
Old Master Shen looked at him, and Shen Jiazhou said word by word: "Grandpa, even if Cancan doesn't return to the Shen family, he will have a bright and free future."
"You clearly know that the Shen family has never had true harmony, so why are you so persistent?" Shen Jiazhou said calmly: "You are just consuming yourself now."
It's wearing out everyone's patience.
Others may not know, but at least his patience has reached its limit.
Shen Jiazhou leaned back on the sofa and looked at Old Man Shen. "During the past two years, I have been in that position. How many people want me to step down? Can't you see that? But you still said nothing, and there are no restrictions. I have to manage the company while dealing with the obstacles they put in my way."
"They won't mess around when faced with major issues." Old Master Shen said, "And after you took over the Shen family, some of the rules will definitely make them unhappy, but we are all family, aren't they doing well now?"
"That's because I'm suppressing them so they dare not do it again." Shen Jiazhou looked at Old Man Shen and found that he had lost all emotions. Even the helplessness and powerlessness had disappeared.
Be happy.
Nothing is better than being happy.
Shen Jiazhou also gave up the idea of talking to Mr. Shen in a tactful way. He said in a colder tone, "At this point, you still want to smooth things over."
Mr. Shen said: "I don't have it."
"I didn't come here today to listen to you." Shen Jiazhou said, "Grandpa, after I leave, you can tell the group of people downstairs that if you want to return to the company, you can report to the company tomorrow and choose any position you want."
Mr. Shen's eyes lit up slightly: "Jia Zhou, what are you doing?"
"Yes." Shen Jiazhou said, "I've figured it out. The company is so big that I really can't rely on myself. Let them come back and keep their positions as before."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Okay!"
Shen Jiazhou said: "Also, they have been wanting to buy Shen's shares before. I can release some of them and sell them to them at three times the market price."
The largest shareholder of the Shen family now is none other than Shen Jiazhou. Old Master Shen has heard too much about shares from other people, but he really can't tell Shen Jiazhou about this.
But unexpectedly, Shen Jiazhou took the initiative to talk about this matter, and he was actually willing to give in!
Mr. Shen said, "Okay, once you've thought this through, I'll tell them. How can three times the market price be enough? I'll ask them to pay four times!"
Although it is the market price, in fact, Shen’s shares will still be priced much higher during actual trading.
Four times is actually a pretty good price.
Shen Jiazhou looked at Mr. Shen's face and pursed his lips a little: "But Grandpa, I have a premise."
Mr. Shen asked, "You say."
"Don't bother Cancan." Shen Jiazhou said softly, "He is well raised by his aunt. If you can't do this, then just pretend you didn't hear anything I just said."
After he said this, he kept looking at Mr. Shen, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
But Mr. Shen just took a sip of the warm water that he hadn't drunk before, and said slowly as if he was sighing, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can handle Cancan's affairs in the future."
"The inheritance that belongs to me and Cancan, please transfer it to me in advance." Shen Jiazhou said indifferently: "Grandpa, I let them return to the company, but my interests must be guaranteed."
Mr. Shen took a deep breath and said, "The estate has been divided. Find a time to talk to the lawyer."
Shen Jiazhou hummed, reached out and picked up the cup again, put his fingertips against the outer wall of the cup, and then drank up the cold water in it.
He put the cup down again, and there was a slight sound when the bottom of the cup and the table hit it.
When Mr. Shen looked over subconsciously, Shen Jiazhou had already stood up: "It's very late, I'll go back first."
Mr. Shen asked, "Why don't you just sleep at home tonight?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "Grandpa, I have a family."
This place has never been home to him, to Shen Jiachen.
He walked towards the door of the study step by step, and when he was about to press the door handle, he heard Mr. Shen calling him.
"Jia Zhou, will you blame me for being partial?"
Shen Jiazhou turned around and looked at Old Man Shen from afar. He was already very old.
He whispered, "Grandpa, it doesn't matter anymore."
Old Master Shen is no longer the grandfather he remembers, and he is no longer the child who only knew how to hide behind Shen Jiachen.
The last bit of affection he had for Mr. Shen had been completely wiped out.
Biased? Only those who expect will suffer this kind of injustice.
Shen Jiazhou nodded slightly: "Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he opened the door and left without looking back.
After an unknown amount of time, the butler came up with a wheelchair. He helped Mr. Shen onto the wheelchair and said softly, "Sir, they are all waiting for you to get off."
Mr. Shen hummed. He was pushed towards the study room, but he couldn't help but sighed, "I think I did something wrong."
The housekeeper comforted him: "Master Jiazhou is still young, he will understand you in the future."
This world is unfair. Children who cry get more care.
Mr. Shen nodded: "You are right, I am doing this for his own good."
The butler said nothing and dutifully pushed him into the elevator.

An hour later, Shen Jiazhou parked his car in the apartment parking space and was about to get out when his cell phone rang.
He took a look and saw that it was Cancan calling.
Shen Jiazhou's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately answered the phone: "Baby?"
Cancan on the other end of the phone took a breath and said aggrievedly, "Uncle."
Shen Jiazhou frowned, listened to his crying voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cancan pursed her lips, and thinking that her uncle in the watch couldn't see, she said even more aggrievedly: "My aunt and I are moving."
