Chapter 86
"I've given that house to You. If she marries someone else in the future, it can be used as a new house if she renovates it." The old man sat on a stone bench and trimmed the bonsai, fixing the branches at a good angle with wires.
"I always feel that the young mistress will still go back. The relationship between her and the young master for so many years..." Sister-in-law Zhou did not dare to say more, but no matter what, she felt it was a pity that Shen Xiao and Jian You divorced.
"You have watched them grow up, and you are even closer to them than Jinghua. If Axiao's temperament does not suit his wishes, he will never look at you twice in his life." The old man twisted the wire with tweezers. , continued: "I finally understand now that raising a child is different from raising a bonsai. It's not that if you twist it with a wire, it will grow where you want it to."
"But... the young lady has moved out, and they have rarely seen each other..."
“Don’t worry about this. They didn’t see many of them in the past, and they may not see less in the future.” After the old man finished speaking, a wise smile appeared in his eyes behind his reading glasses.
At this time, Mrs. Liu came over with the phone and said, "Mr. Shen, this is Mr. Shen's phone number."
The Shen family's servants are accustomed to call Young Master Shen Xiao, while those called Shen Lu are Mr. Shen or Manager Shen.
Mr. Shen answered the phone and listened to Shen Lu reporting on some of the company's daily affairs and recent stock price trends. The old man heard about it, but in fact, the company's senior management would also make weekly reports to Mr. Shen in the form of emails. , but he is getting older and has difficulty reading the computer, so now he is used to having people report verbally.
After listening to the phone call, the old man suddenly remembered something and said, "Yu You has moved out to live in the unit opposite Shen Xiao. She said she is looking for a job. See if there is anything I can do to help. Give me a hand."
Although Mr. Shen said it euphemistically, Shen Lu understood what he meant. Although Jian You had no blood relationship with the Shen family, the extent of the old man's love for his granddaughter was definitely beyond the imagination of outsiders.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Lu agreed.
"You have to be careful and don't show off your flaws. She's very smart, and it won't be good if she sees it." The old man repeatedly asked. He was incredibly controlling when he was young, and he did a lot of wrong things because of this. Now that he's older, he doesn't want to make the same mistakes again.
"I know, grandpa, I won't let you see it." Shen Lu felt speechless. He had to answer endless emails and hold endless meetings every day, and now he still has to help the old man pamper his granddaughter... What is this thing? Son?
However, thinking of Jian You in a white dress standing outside the flower house that day, Shen Lu didn't seem to reject this request so much. In principle, Jian You is his cousin, so it is easy to help her.
When Shen Lu made this call, Jiang Meiyi happened to be beside him. She came out of the kitchen with fruit and placed it in front of Shen Lu.
“When I went to the old man’s house yesterday, I met Jian You. She looks extremely beautiful recently, and she feels completely different from before.”
Jiang Meiyi sat opposite Shen Lu, inserted a piece of apple with a toothpick and put it in her mouth, while eating, she said: "At that time, I felt that the old man treated this granddaughter very unusually, and I also thought that she was not a biological child of the Shen family anyway. If the old man is willing, if you marry her as your wife, the old man will definitely not treat you badly in the future, but I never expected that the old man would actually let her marry Shen Xiao..."
At that time, when Jian You and Shen Xiao registered their marriage, only people within the Shen family knew about it. Jiang Meiyi found out later, but Shen Lu was still studying abroad at that time. Even if she had this intention, she could only hide it in her heart forever.
"What are you thinking about? She is my cousin." Shen Lu stood up without eating the fruit, put on his suit and went out the door. Jiang Meiyi hurriedly stood up and followed him. Seeing that his face was not kind, she felt a little sad in her heart. She just whispered: "I'm just talking. She is already the young mistress of the Shen family. How can it be her turn?" Fuck you?"
Shen Lu suddenly stopped as he walked to the door. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Meiyi and said, "Don't bring those newspapers with entertainment news to the Shen family in the future. Do you really think no one knows about it?"
Jiang Meiyi was stunned when she was told that, she took two steps back, looked at Shen Lu in disbelief and said: "Who am I doing this for? I am not doing this for you! For your father who died long ago! How is the Shen family now? The family property was all earned by your father’s hard work!”
"I will find a way to get these things back, but...please don't do it in such a despicable way!"
With a bang, Shen Lu pushed the door open and closed it with his backhand.
