Chapter 321 Another world that cannot be touched
The Shen family mansion.
It was late at night, but Shen Xiaoyan was still sitting in front of the desk in the bedroom, under the lamp, with lowered eyebrows, looking through the books in a demure manner.
squeak~
The door was gently pushed open, and Lin Meizhu walked in holding the dinner plate. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sighed, and said helplessly, If you want me to tell you a few times, your child is almost becoming a mother. , Life is always careless, don’t think about your own eyes, you should also think about the child in your belly, come on, don’t look, the bird’s nest has just been stewed, eat it while it’s hot so you can sleep.”
Reading a book makes it easy to relax your mind. Shen Xiaoyan temporarily put down the book, glanced at the steaming bird's nest that night, and could only smile wryly in return.
Although she was really disgusted with this thing, it was not good for her mother's kindness.
Lin Meizhu picked up the porcelain bowl and put it on the table. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that her daughter was reading a book on psychology. She frowned and said, Why are you still studying these psychology? Don't you even become a doctor now? .”
I'm very interested in psychology now. As a doctor, besides treating the patient's body, psychology is also a joint that cannot be ignored. Shen Xiaoyan said with a smile, thinking of Song Shicheng unintentionally.
But you plan to watch these things for prenatal education? Lin Meizhu was still muttering.
Mom, can you stop relating everything I do now to your future grandson. Shen Xiaoyan finally couldn't help complaining: I am an individual and have the right to decide my own daily life, not the so-called Baby-raising tool, can you please respect me a little bit?
Lin Meizhu heard her daughter's dissatisfaction, and was touched by the word tool for raising fetus and childbirth, her expression couldn't help trembling, showing a little bit of embarrassment.
If you want to talk about the tools for raising fetus and giving birth, isn't she herself a living example?
Back then, in order to marry into a wealthy family, she would rather swallow the shame of being raped by Shen Guotao, secretly conceived and gave birth to a daughter.
So much so that her heart had long been imprinted with a strong sense of male superiority and female inferiority, and she took it for granted that her daughter's pregnancy and childbirth should be to please men and add chips to her enjoyment of prosperity and wealth.
But now, Shen Xiaoyan's resistance and complaints revealed the fig leaf in her heart.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan knew that her inadvertent complaint had brought up the greatest sadness in her mother's life, so she hurriedly reached out to hold her mother's hand, and apologized: I'm sorry, Mom, I just said it casually, there is no other meaning, please don't Take it to heart.
Lin Meizhu shook her head, took a breath, and said with a wry smile: I don't blame you, it's my mother's own mentality that is wrong, and she shouldn't impose her own way on you... But, Xiaoyan, mother is really good for you After all, our mother and daughter are in such a situation, and we really don't have any sense of security to rely on. With this child, at least it can guarantee that you will be safe and secure for the rest of your life.
This child is my flesh and blood and an independent individual. I won't let him get involved in the slightest interest. Mom, I hope you will stop talking about such topics that embarrass and humble us both, okay? Shen Xiaoyan reminded very seriously.
Lin Meizhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently, Then you and Shicheng...he hasn't come to see you for a few days, it seems that he hasn't even received a call from you, can you really...
He must be busy recently. Shen Xiaoyan prevaricated, knowing that her mother had noticed the clue, she tried to cover her ears.
Lin Meizhu saw it in her eyes and was worried in her heart, but she couldn't get to the bottom of it too much.
After all, apart from being able to persuade her daughter to look away, she is of no help at all.
However, this added to her sense of guilt, and she couldn't help but said: Xiaoyan, do you still blame mom now?
Shen Xiaoyan glanced at her mother in surprise, and then her face gradually softened, she tidied up her books, and whispered softly: To be honest, I have complained before, since I was young, you always forced me to live according to your wishes, just Even marriage, you didn't think too much about my feelings, and let me be pushed into the fire pit...
But Xiaoyan, mom too...
I know that you also have unavoidable difficulties. After all, even if you object, it will not change anything.
Shen Xiaoyan put her bare hands on her stomach subconsciously again, and squeezed out a slight smile: So, now, I don't blame you for anything, this is fate, let alone the situation like our mother and daughter Well, even a genuine eldest daughter like my sister is inevitably driven by profit... The only good thing is that my life is not as bad as I originally expected. My only hope now is to give birth to a child and live well. When I was brought up, I didn’t pray that he would become rich and powerful, but we must train him to be an independent, gentle and courteous person, who can do what he wants to do in a dignified way, and enjoy a life that is completely his own, instead of being let down by others. Others restrain and coerce.
Speaking of expectations for the child's future, before she knew it, Shen Xiaoyan's face became more gentle and gentle, her eyes even shone brightly, but her words and tone were full of unprecedented firmness and determination.
This is the most simple voice of a mother-to-be.
Lin Meizhu was dumbfounded for a while, and then felt ashamed and relieved.
What is ashamed is that when she was pregnant with her daughter, her mind was full of glory and wealth.
Fortunately, my daughter has walked out of a completely different life and will not repeat her own mistakes.
You're right, we shouldn't leave the burden of shackles to the next generation. Lin Meizhu said with emotion, her eyes reddened. Because of her grandmother's status, she didn't want to let her grandson suffer this kind of heartache.
Suddenly remembered something, Lin Meizhu lowered her voice and said: Xiaoyan, Yixian and Yizhu...
Mom, listen to me, don't worry about this matter, and don't chew the back of your tongue. Shen Xiaoyan warned solemnly.
Of course I can't care about anything, but I'm worried. Lin Meizhu said worriedly: Mom is not blind, she can still tell the good from the bad, that girl Yixian, although she looks bitter and mean, she finally understands For some reasons, we mother and daughter will not make things difficult for no reason, but if Shen Yizhu is in charge, then our life will be much more difficult than it is now, especially for you, he will never If you are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, I am afraid that even your father will not be able to surrender.
Mom, you think too much about that guy. Shen Xiaoyan didn't take it seriously, she had absolute confidence that Song Shicheng and Shen Yixian would definitely eradicate this scourge.
That kid is really not capable, but the problem is that your father has decided to marry Yixian off. Once that happens, who can compete with that kid for the inheritance? Lin Meizhu mourned.
If you really get to that point, mom, you can leave this house with me. Shen Xiaoyan held her mother's hand and said, I've thought about it a long time ago, this family really doesn't have much place for us, instead of always being in fear, Why don't you get out of here as soon as possible, based on our current situation, we can always live a happy life. Seeing her mother hesitated to speak, she asked, Mom, do you still have illusions about Dad at this point? ?”
Lin Meizhu was speechless.
In the past, she fantasized about becoming the wife of the Shen family and getting more benefits, but after holding the marriage certificate for so long, her status has not changed at all. Even during the period when Shen Guotao was seriously ill, she worked tirelessly I have not seen any improvement in the treatment.
At this point, she can clearly see that this family will always be surnamed Shen, more precisely, it is reserved for the man surnamed Shen, who has nothing to do with their mother and daughter.
And now that the daughter is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Song family, even if there are some problems in the marriage relationship with Song Shicheng, the Song family will not ignore it, at least they can give them a stable life security.
Let's take it slow in advance. Let's talk about it after you give birth, and let mom have more time to think about it. After all, I have been with your dad for more than 20 years. Even if there is no relationship, the relationship is not broken just once...
I just want to mention that if this family doesn't become a mess in the future, I don't want you to go to that step either.
Shen Xiaoyan comforted her.
To be honest, she still had some fantasies about Shen Guotao at first, especially when Shen Guotao revealed his true feelings when he was sick, which made her change a little.
But when she found out that Shen Guotao's behavior had not changed, and she wanted to continue to forcibly arrange Shen Yixian's marriage, insisting on leaving the family business to Shen Yizhu, she couldn't help feeling disheartened.
She finally understands that Shen Guotao's family affection is only limited to the framework of unaffected interests.
Thinking of Shen Yixian's plan to resist the earth-shattering plan, Shen Xiaoyan had a vague premonition that this family would fall apart sooner or later.
Therefore, she had to prepare in advance and take her mother out of danger.
While the mother and daughter were silent, a servant's reminder came from outside the door.
Second miss, my uncle is here.
Hearing this, both mother and daughter were taken aback. '
Lin Meizhu was overjoyed instantly, opened the door and asked, Shicheng is here? Where is he?
In the hall, chatting with the master. The servant replied.
Lin Meizhu hurriedly turned around and held her daughter's arm, saying: Xiaoyan, go, go down... Hey, forget it, let him come up to you, I'll just say you lie down, if he really wants to, he will definitely Came up to find you.
Then, Lin Meizhu didn't care about her daughter's opinion, and went downstairs in a hurry.
Shen Xiaoyan recovered from her astonishment, bit her lips involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with indescribable complex meanings.
She didn't know how to describe the current situation of this marriage. If there was a problem, it was true, and it was a deep-seated problem that couldn't be solved by communication alone.
Although she told Shen Yixian that she didn't want to continue wandering and worrying endlessly, but deep down in her heart, she always had some hopes for this man.
I hope that one day he can wholeheartedly accompany her and the child in her belly to the future. Even if he is still unwilling to confess the secrets in his heart, as long as he can cherish and treat himself well as always, that will be enough.
However, Shen Xiaoyan's intuition could feel that in this man's heart, apart from himself and the child, there were also some things that made him extremely uneasy.
She even had a dream once where she dreamed that Song Shicheng was going further and further away, to another world that she couldn't touch, separated by an invisible wall.
Forget it, let's see what he has to say later...
Shen Xiaoyan encouraged herself like this, and looked at the cold bird's nest porridge with confused eyes...
………
I just learned the skill of making tea, let's try it.
In the living room, Shen Guotao poured the boiled black tea into a porcelain cup and pushed it in front of his son-in-law.
Song Shicheng said with a smile: I can't smoke cigars anymore, it's not bad to start learning how to cultivate myself.
No way, in order to live a few more years, I can only suffer. Shen Guotao smiled wryly.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Song Shicheng said directly, I came here to say hello. I'm going to Pengcheng in two days.
Shen Guotao tentatively asked, Are you going to attend the new president's class?
Song Shicheng nodded. Last time, his uncle He Xiaozhen had recommended him to the business school and successfully got the invitation letter.
According to the curriculum arrangement, although classes are usually taught from Thursday to Sunday, a week-long expansion, team building and core courses will be arranged at the beginning of the semester, which will be conducted in a residential-study manner.
Learning and learning in the past was very helpful for you to expand your circle and explore business opportunities. Shen Guotao hesitated: However, besides Pengcheng, Huahai also has teaching sites, so why bother to look far away.
It's too restrictive to always focus on Huahai's three-acre land. Let's think of going to the south to broaden our horizons. Song Shicheng replied.
That's right, there are always more new opportunities in the south. Shen Guotao played with the porcelain cup and said casually: It's just two days later, and Yizhu will go there to meet his future in-laws.
Then congratulate you in advance.
It's all from my own family, so what are you talking about congratulating?
Shen Guotao suddenly sighed quietly, and said: Shicheng, I wanted to talk to you alone earlier, and you just came today, so I just want to talk to you, I am going to follow the example of the Mu family, set up a family committee, and Draft an equity transfer agreement, redistribute the shares in hand, and distribute half to the three children. The three of them will receive equal shares, and the remaining half will remain in the family committee. No matter who has any problems in the future or accidents, the shares will be confiscated and handed over to the chairman of Qingmao to control and manage.
Song Shicheng was slightly surprised.
This decision was both reasonable and unexpected.
After all, the family has a big business and a few children, if they don't have a bowl of water, there will undoubtedly be conflicts and disputes inside and outside.
Therefore, Shen Guotao distributes half of the shares to his three children, which will not affect his and the Shen family's control over Qingmao, but also block the mouths of many people.
However, he was willing to distribute the shares to Shen Xiaoyan, which undoubtedly exceeded Song Shicheng's expectations.
Isn't this old fox worried that he and Shen Xiaoyan's children will be taken advantage of in the end?
Shen Guotao seemed to see his confusion, and said with a light smile, Of course, Xiaoyan's shares will be arranged in a special way. She only enjoys the right to share dividends, and the voting right remains in the family committee. This will ensure that Xiaoyan, her mother, and children , have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and don't have to worry about those shitty troubles, this is the most suitable life path for her.
