Chapter 137 Don’t care about anyone’s opinions, just be comfortable
In the flat and spacious yard, Shen Muche stood under the plane tree and looked up at the moon in the sky.
The rooms after the Shen family have undergone several major renovations. Although the main structure has been retained, many changes have taken place inside.
The only thing that hasn't changed much is the courtyard where the old man and the old lady live now.
All the furnishings in their room are antiques passed down from generations.
Any item you bring up is priceless.
This courtyard is located in the middle of the entire Shen Mansion, and is said to be the best location to gather the luck of the entire Shen Mansion.
It is also the largest courtyard in the entire Shen residence, more than four times larger than other courtyards.
The plane tree planted in the middle of the yard is hundreds of years old.
Fengqi Wutong, in the past, those who had a Wutong tree in their homes were either rich or noble.
The same is true now. Only the head of the Shen family can live in this courtyard.
When Mr. Shen passes away, this yard will naturally become Shen Jiyuan's residence.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Shen Muyao came in from the courtyard door and looked at Shen Muze who looked up and around.
"I never thought the scenery here was so good before. I've seen it since I was a kid." Shen Muche replied slowly.
Shen Muyao knew what he meant.
Growing up here, I never thought that one day the family property that was so easy to get would end up belonging to someone else.
Before Shen Jiyuan appeared, the old man devoted all his efforts to training these two brothers.
Unexpectedly, after Shen Jiyuan appeared, this inherent situation was broken.
"You also said that we have seen big things since childhood. These scenery are not always the same when we come and go. We can see them in the past and we will see them in the future."
Shen Muze looked at his younger brother, his smile not as relaxed as before.
"Do you know what I heard when the old man convened a meeting with his subordinates two days ago?"
Shen Muyao said nothing, waiting for his brother's next words.
"Since we were eighteen years old, grandpa began to select outstanding children from the sidelines."
Shen Muyao frowned when he heard this. He knew this rule.
But isn’t it generally true that selection is made at an early age?
"Grandpa, this is really too much." Shen Muyao snorted coldly.
For the inheritance of a large family, it is not enough to rely solely on blood ties.
Only the direct line can inherit the family business, but no one can guarantee that this line will always produce outstanding children.
And there is no guarantee that the child will grow up healthily.
If someone with mediocre qualifications is entrusted with an important task, it will bring a devastating blow to the entire family's industry.
Therefore, there will be second-hand preparations to select outstanding children from the sidelines and slowly train them.
Mr. Shen's lineage includes Shen Muze and Shen Muyao, so it is not considered that his descendants have withered away.
So after the birth of his two children, he rejected the suggestion of raising collateral children.
Unexpectedly, Shen Muze and Shen Muyao did not achieve outstanding results until they reached adulthood, which also made Mr. Shen have this idea.
"Neither you nor I are the first choice. What the old man cares about is who can inherit the family business, not who inherits the family business."
Shen Muze also felt very ridiculous when it came to this.
If it wasn't Shen Jiyuan, it would be someone else.
But after Shen Jiyuan appeared, his brilliance was so great that if you look at the entire Shen family, no one is more outstanding than him.
In recent years, they have successively attacked Shen Jiyuan, and the old man is not unaware of it.
He just used the two of them as a means to test Shen Jiyuan.
Shen Muyao looked at the night sky and chuckled at the bright white moonlight pouring down.
“It’s not even the last moment, who can say who the winner is.”
There is also some silence, except outside the house and inside the house.
The communication between Shen Jiyuan and Mr. Shen will not be very pleasant.
The old man knew what the child was thinking.
Of course, I also know that he is not too emotional. He is the best businessman and should understand the principle of exchange of interests.
"You are the best and the most suitable to inherit the Shen family. I feel relieved to leave the Shen family in your hands. Likewise, since you have taken over this position, I hope you can weigh the pros and cons and make the most appropriate choice. ”
The old man said and looked outside the door. Cen Xuan and the old lady were talking about something, with happy expressions on their faces.
"You have someone by your side who can accompany you for a lifetime. You have to remember that you can't be too harsh in anything. Doing too much will eventually backfire on you." The old man's words were more serious.
Shen Jiyuan glanced at him and handed over the peeled apple.
"After all, they are also your brothers, and the blood is unbroken."
The old man tried to see something from his expression.
It's a pity that after so many years, Shen Jiyuan has always had a reserved expression. Even the old man who has been involved in shopping malls for many years cannot guess his thoughts.
"As long as they stay safe, I won't take action."
The old man heard the meaning of his words.
If it were in the past, Shen Jiyuan would not take the tricks of Shen Muze and Shen Muyao seriously.
But the difference now is that he has Cen Xuan by his side.
Such a blatant weakness is like a dragon's reverse scales, which will cause death if touched.
"Your father's matter has been my lifelong concern. I know that you have suffered a lot in these years of wandering around, and you may have complained about the Shen family in your heart. I don't ask you to forget the past, but you can't always be trapped by the past. Live and always look forward.”
"You will have your own children in the future. When you really become a father, you will understand me."
Mr. Shen said and stretched out his hand to him.
The old man's raised hand was already skin and bones.
Ever since the Shen family was handed over to Shen Jiyuan, Mr. Shen has been lingering on the sickbed for a long time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the end is approaching.
Shen Jiyuan held his hand, and a glimmer of light flashed in the old man's gray eyes.
On the way back, Cen Xuan could clearly feel that Shen Jiyuan's mood was not right.
She glanced at the serious-looking man, and after much thought, she moved towards him, stood close to him, and then spoke.
"Is grandpa not in good health?"
The old lady told her when she was chatting with her outside.
At the moment, he is hanging up with medicine, and he doesn’t know when he will really die.
The old man was able to point out the country with confidence before, but the issue of heir was still unresolved.
Now that the big stone in his heart was relieved, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
But what followed was a deteriorating health condition.
Shen Jiyuan stretched out his hand to hold the man in his arms, and the man's cold face was reflected in the car window.
"Maybe."
Cen Xuan is not a fool. From the mouths of the relatives of the Shen family, the attitudes of Shen Muze and Shen Muyao, plus the stories of his parents that Shen Jiyuan told before.
More or less, we can get a glimpse of the truth of what happened back then.
"Do you feel aggrieved?" Cen Xuan looked up at him.
Shen Jiyuan looks lukewarm.
But after all, they are flesh and blood, but they are just too rational and able to restrain their emotions.
"Why feel wronged?"
He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl in his arms, and caressed her cheek with his jade-white fingertips.
"Most people will feel aggrieved." Cen Xuan sighed, "My parents are not accepted, and my mother is considered to be the murderer who indirectly killed my father. The old man is good to you, and he is good to you conditionally. Grandma is still confused and often mistakes you. . "Cen Xuan knew that with Mr. Shen's ability, he wouldn't know how much of Shen Jiyuan's experiences over the years were thanks to the Shen family.
He also wanted to know how much real ability this child who grew up alone outside had.
"Do you think I'm pitiful?"
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her, the corners of his delicate lips curling up slightly.
Cen Xuan closed her eyes and shook her head, "That's not really true. Compared to most people in this world, you are not completely unlucky."
How many people are stuck in the mud and unable to get out.
Shen Jiyuan can no longer be considered an unfortunate person for being able to make it this far.
Shen Jiyuan rubbed her head and said nothing.
Noticing that his mood was different, Cen Xuan said nothing.
She knew in her heart that things back then might not be that simple.
Shen Zhengchuan, the proud son of heaven, is said to have inherited Mr. Shen's strategy and Mrs. Shen's intelligence.
It was impossible to die so quietly.
"In fact, many things are not black and white. Just like many people think that I am cruel and should not kill my second uncle so much. They are not in my position and they have not experienced what I have experienced. I don’t need to explain to them, as long as I don’t regret it.”
What she said seemed to be comforting Shen Jiyuan.
You must always remember that in this world you only need to account for yourself, as long as you do not hurt innocent people.
As long as your own conscience is acceptable, you don't need to care too much about other people's opinions.
Otherwise, you are asking for trouble.
It's that simple.
Shen Jiyuan held her face and bit her affectionately.
"Mrs. Shen's thoughts are really clear recently."
Cen Xuan rubbed the teeth marks on his face and groaned.
"Are you suddenly enlightened, or do you think what I said is wrong?"
Why have I started to like biting her face in the past two days?
"What are Li Chenghui going to do?"
The man came over with a wet wipe and gently wiped her face.
"He has a weakness. He wants his son who lives abroad to live a good life, but this weakness is too obvious. I know it, and of course the people behind him also know it."
Cen Xuan said, reaching out to fight back, grabbing his neck and forcing him into the back seat.
The man made no move to resist, and still wiped her face seriously with his hands, completely ignoring the two hands she pinched around his neck.
"So you're waiting for him to break down."
Cen Xuan did not answer his words.
Things have reached this point, no matter what the truth behind his father's death was.
All things must be revealed.
"Do you need me to help you fill in the content?" Shen Jiyuan said slowly and threw the wet wipes for wiping his hands into the trash can.
Cen Xuan stared at him for a while, then silently withdrew her hand from around his neck.
"You must have been having a hard time at work recently. Let me give you a squeeze on your shoulders."
Cen Xuan said, moving her hands to his shoulders and rubbing them gently.
Shen Jiyuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled at her particularly doggy movements.
"You are quite capable of bending and stretching."
"That's right, you don't even know whose wife I am."
The man curled his fingers and tapped her forehead.
"I'm not as adaptable as you are."
Cen Xuan pressed her head and watched the man take out documents from the drawer next to the seat.
"When your father passed away, I investigated all the people who had close contacts with him, and this one among them should be something that no one expected."
Cen Xuan opened the document bag doubtfully.
After taking a quick look at the contents inside, she closed the things in her hands.
……
On Li Chenghui's third day in the detention center, he asked the guarding police officer that he wanted to see someone.
All the evidence has been clear. Remaining drugs mixed with hallucinogens in decoration materials were found in Li Chenghui's home.
There are also purchase records and corresponding witnesses.
The fact that he intended to harm Cen Xuan and Tong Lechuan has been established.
constitutes the crime of attempted homicide with intentional injury.
The most difficult thing was that the forensic doctor who was responsible for Cen Qingmu's autopsy re-examined the preserved evidence.
According to their investigation, although Cen Qingmu originally carved in his own studio.
But the person who frequented the studio during that time was Li Chenghui.
After Cen Qingmu committed suicide in the studio, Cen Qingyue was busy taking over the work related to Yinyu and left the follow-up processing of the studio to his assistant.
But for some reason, he just hired someone to clean it briefly and sealed the place completely.
It's not for sale, it's just locked up and no one goes there.
The police department reorganized a team to investigate and collect evidence.
From the bottom of the ornament given by Li Chenghui at that time, the same hallucinogen as now was found.
Now Li Chenghui is not only suspected of attempted murder, but also has the life of a real person like Cen Qingmu on his shoulders.
This time he is certain to die.
The person he wanted to see was Cen Qingyue.
Cen Qingyue has been very decadent since he left the company, and Zhao Zhi went a little crazy after learning about the news of Cen Rui's death.
He was exhausted mentally and physically.
Li Chenghui was also stunned when he saw the person. Cen Qingyue's hair turned half white before his eyes.
"You should also know that now that the matter is over, it's useless for you to find me, a loser." Cen Qingyue looked at him.
Back when he had control of Yin Yu, he couldn't defeat Cen Xuan, let alone now that his whole family is being manipulated.
"You handled the procedures for my son to go abroad. I want to know if he is safe now? Where are the others?"
Li Chenghui knows how to use his power to ask for things.
After Cen Qingmu's death, he exchanged the carving rights of the national jade carving with Cen Qingyue and asked him to help him complete the procedures for going abroad.
Send his only son abroad.
Cen Qingyue pressed his temples to answer.
"I remember that I went to country J, and I found the best high school there."
Li Chenghui listened to his words, leaned in front of Cen Qingyue and lowered his voice.
"I know you can't stand up now. I'll tell you where all my money is, and I'll also sign a power of attorney. In exchange, you hide my son and move him to another country so that no one can find him. Traces of ”
Cen Qingyue looked at him and sneered, "How much money can you have?"
Li Chenghui wrote a series of numbers on the table with his fingers.
Cen Qingyue's face became more and more interested.
Unexpectedly, this person seems useless, but he has quite a lot of capital.
"Okay, I'll tell you when it's done."
Money delivered to your door.
If you don't accept it, you will be punished by God.
