“Wouldn’t it be as you wish if I died? Ah, did you come back specifically to make me angry because you didn’t want me to die?”
“Dad, why do you have to say such things to hurt my heart!”
Both father and son were talking in the room, while Shen Qinglan and Lu Yaqin stood outside the door of the room. Shen Qinglan could clearly hear the old man’s scolding, but did not go in. Lu Yaqin was worried about her husband, but she also knew that now was not the time to go in.
She glanced at Shen Qinglan and said, “Qinglan, thank you for what happened today. Also, I’m really sorry about what Junze did that day. It was because I didn’t teach him well.”
Shen Junze’s attitude wasn’t taken to heart by Shen Qinglan at all. She would help Lu Yaqin today, not for her, but for the old man. She had known about Shen Rang’s condition two days ago, but happened to encounter Yu Xiaoxuan’s incident, so she put it aside.
“I’m not doing it for you.” Shen Qinglan said lightly.
“I know, but I still have to thank you.” Lu Yaqin smiled slightly.
It was also the first time that Shen Qinglan knew that the person who was originally engaged to Shen Rang was Fu Jingting. So, was Fu Jingting’s marriage to Gu Bowen related to Shen Rang’s breakup of the engagement?
According to Mr. Shen, this incident was quite a big deal at first, and the relationship between the two families should have been almost severed. But looking at Mr. Fu’s attitude towards her, and Fu Jingting’s attitude, there was no sign that the Shen family was disliked by them or that the Gu and the Fu family had such an unpleasant past.
Seeing that the room was getting quieter, Shen Qinglan turned around and went downstairs. After all, they were father and son. There was no need to have an overnight feud, let alone when Shen Rang didn’t have much time left.
After Shen Qinglan left the Shen family, she planned to go to the Fu family. She wanted to ask Mr. Fu about what happened back then, but unfortunately, Mr. Fu and Fu Jingting were not home, so she had to give up.
After thinking about it, Shen Qinglan drove directly back to Jiangxin Yayuan. When she saw the familiar figure at the gate of the community, Shen Qinglan’s eyes flickered, she lowered the window and looked at the person in front of her, “Why are you here?”
The woman smiled slightly, “I’m here specifically for you. Do you have time to have a meal together?”
Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, looked at the person in front of her, and opened the car door, “Come on.”
Shen Qinglan and Qin Yan sat in the restaurant as she looked at the woman opposite. She still didn’t understand what Qin Yan had to do with her.
Qin Yan looked at Shen Qinglan with a gentle expression, and there seemed to be some apology on her face, “Miss Shen, actually I came to you today just to talk to you.”
Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows.
“Miss Shen and Yan Xi have a good relationship?”
“What’s the problem?”
Qin Yan smiled slightly, “Miss Shen misunderstood, I’m just asking. I think Miss Shen should know the relationship between me and Yan Xi. Yan Xi has some misunderstandings about me. Yan Xi is a child who likes to keep everything in her mind. If Miss Shen has time, please spend more time with her.”
Qin Yan looked a little uncomfortable as if she knew that she had no position to say this, “Yan Xi doesn’t have many friends. I saw that she is still willing to talk to you, so I came to ask you. I really don’t have any ill intentions towards Yan Xi.”
Regarding Qin Yan’s words, Shen Qinglan was noncommittal. This woman’s concern for Yan Xi was a bit strange. She knew that the woman in front of her was Qin Mu’s biological mother, but apart from the facial features on her face where she could find the shadow of Qin Mu, she could not find anything else similar to her.
“I will naturally take Yan Xi’s matter to heart.” Shen Qinglan said lightly, stood up and left.
“Miss Shen, I heard that you also knew a person named Qin Mu, right?” Qin Yan spoke hurriedly, and Shen Qinglan stopped in her tracks immediately, and she sat down again.
She looked at Qin Yan with scrutiny in her eyes, “How do you know that I knew a person named Qin Mu?” She only told Yan Xi about this matter, and she believed that Yan Xi won’t tell Qin Yan this.
Qin Yan’s expression froze and she smiled unnaturally, “Miss Shen probably doesn’t know that I have a daughter named Qin Mu who was lost when she was very young. I heard that there was a painting in Miss Shen’s art exhibition. The little girl in it looked very similar to my daughter Qin Mu, so I guessed Miss Shen knows my daughter. If Miss Shen really knows where my daughter is, please tell me.”
This was a very good explanation, a reasonable one, coupled with Qin Yan’s eager expression, it further reflected the image of a mother who was eager to find her daughter.
The look in Shen Qinglan’s eyes was indistinguishable, “I knew a person named Qin Mu. She was an orphan. She was abandoned by her family in an orphanage since she was a child. Later she got a serious illness and died before she could survive.”
“Dead?” Qin Yan looked stunned, as if she couldn’t believe what Shen Qinglan said, “No, no, my daughter will not die. The person you are talking about is definitely not my daughter.”
Qin Yan stood up and the smile on her face was very forced, “Miss Shen, I’m sorry to bother you today, I’m going back first.”
Shen Qinglan looked at her leaving back, with an expression in her eyes that others could not understand.
What Shen Qinglan didn’t see was that when Qin Yan turned around to leave, there was no trace of sadness or disbelief on her face, but only annoyance.
It was originally just a simple test, but she didn’t expect Shen Qinglan’s reaction to be so fast. Qin Yan thought to herself that it seemed that she should start with Yan Xi.
In the past few days, Han Yi had not gone home or returned to the company. He was either staying with Yu Xiaoxuan at home or helping her deal with things at home.
Since Yu Wei had made a will two years ago, there was no problem with the division of the family’s property. It was all put under Yu Xiaoxuan’s name. Yu Xiaoxuan’s second uncle and second aunt were unwilling to let it go, but after the legal department of the Han Group intervened, they had no choice but to avoid making trouble.
Knowing that Yu Xiaoxuan could not manage the company, Han Yi specially found a trustworthy professional manager for her to help manage the company.
Yu Xiaoxuan had been in a very low mood these past few days. Except for Han Yi, Shen Qinglan and Fang Tong, no one else was seen. Linda also knew that she had just lost her parents, so she pushed all the announcements for her and gave her some time off.
“Xiaoxuan, everything at home has been taken care of, and for the company I have hired a professional manager to take care of it. Your father’s hard work will never be wasted.” Han Yi looked at Yu Xiaoxuan and said warmly.
Yu Xiaoxuan was sitting on the balcony in a daze. She had been in this state recently, staring at the sky from time to time.
After a long time, Yu Xiaoxuan’s eyes focused on Han Yi’s face. She twitched the corners of her mouth and said softly “Thank you.”
“Xiaoxuan, I don’t want to say that people can’t be resurrected after death. I know what it feels like to lose a loved one, and I also understand your mood. You can be sad now, you can cry, no matter what, it’s okay, but I will only give you three days. After three days, you must cheer up. There is still a long way to go. I don’t want to see your life end just after it has begun.”
“Han Yi, do I still have a future?”
“Of course, you have a very bright future. Not only you, but also me, and our children in the future, I can accompany you to do everything your parents couldn’t do with you.”
Yu Xiaoxuan lowered her head and said nothing, but she gently held Han Yi’s hand, like a helpless child.
Han Yi looked at her depressed look and felt very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he decided to take Yu Xiaoxuan out to relax. Yu Xiaoxuan didn’t want to go, but was finally dragged away by Han Yi.
Without a destination, Han Yi bought two plane tickets at the airport and set off with Yu Xiaoxuan.
Wen Xiyao and Shen Junyu had lunch together today. Seeing that it was almost time, she planned to go out to find Shen Junyu. As soon as she walked out of the office, she saw the assistant hurriedly coming over, “Ms. Wen, it’s bad, there was an accident at construction site No. 3.”
Wen Xiyao’s face changed, “What happened?” While walking towards the elevator.
“This morning, a worker fell from the building at construction site No. 3 and died on the spot.”
“How could this happen? Didn’t I emphasize safety first many times?” Wen Xiyao’s pretty face was filled with anger. Construction site No. 3 was a piece of land that Xinhe International bought a few years ago. It cost a lot of money at the time. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers. Not only was the scenery good, but the feng shui was also good. Xinhe International wanted to turn this land into a famous luxury home in Beijing. The project was launched last year and was the key project of Xinhe International in the past two years. Wen Xiyao had a deep understanding of this project when she just took over. She was very optimistic about its prospects. After all, there were not many other things in Beijing, but there were many rich people.
However, the richer the people, the more taboo they were about feng shui. Now that this had happened, it was simply a catastrophic blow to this land development. Although it had not been completed yet and was only in the construction stage, once this matter was spread, even if it was built, no one would come to buy it. This meant that the investment that Xinhe International had been preparing for two years and had invested more than 1 billion yuan in funds, would all go down the drain. Such a loss was something that Xinhe International could not afford.
Originally, many senior executives and shareholders in the company were dissatisfied with Wen Xiyao’s airborne arrival. If they caught her handle, they would not only punish her to death, but also directly pull her down. She hurriedly called Shen Junyu, but found that no one answered, so she had to call Shen Junyu’s assistant Yu Bin and explain that she had an urgent matter at noon, so she would not eat first.
When Shen Junyu came out of the meeting room, he called Wen Xiyao back. After knowing what happened, Shen Junyu also realized the thorny part of the matter, “Do you need my help?”
Wen Xiyao shook her head, “Not for the time being, I will go to understand the situation first. I’m sorry for standing you up today.”
“There’s no rush for this. If you have something to do, call me anytime. Buy something to fill your stomach on the way, don’t be hungry.” Shen Junyu reminded.
Wen Xiyao smiled and nodded, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Wen Xiyao’s face disappeared immediately. She came to the hospital first, and just as she entered the hospital, she heard a burst of crying. The assistant recognized at a glance that the crying woman was the wife of the worker who had the accident.
