Chapter 164 Am I very old?
"This is the last chance for eldest brother, and also the last chance for the Shen family." A dark glint flashed in Shen Xingyuan's cold eyes.
The old man said coldly, "Release your eldest brother."
Shen Xingyuan scoffed: "Dad, it's not up to me to decide what happens to people at the police station, but don't worry, none of those things are fatal. My brother will be fine after these few days of investigation."
Grandpa knew that Shen Xingyuan did not directly order the police station to release the person in order to ensure that the matter would not be spread.
"Don't worry, this matter will end here, and it will absolutely not be told to anyone!" Grandpa assured him.
Shen Xingyuan looked at Shen Ning.
“She won’t tell,” the grandfather said in a deep voice. “You can rest assured.”
"Then I'll believe you this once." Shen Xingyuan looked at me: "Are you satisfied now?"
I looked at him in silence.
"Let's talk about it back at the hotel," Shen Xingyuan said, hesitating to finish his sentence.
I snorted and walked away.
Huo Yubai glanced coldly at Shen Ning and said sarcastically, "I heard that when Miss Shen was studying abroad, she had a few close blonde friends."
Shen Ning's face turned pale.
"I, Huo Yubai, am not a garbage dump." His deep black eyes were full of coldness.
Grandpa didn't say a word.
He knew exactly what Shen Ning was like abroad.
Huo Yubai walked out of the room.
Shen Xingyuan looked calmly at his biological father: "For the past twenty years, I've been thinking about just how much you hate us, mother and son. You drove one of us to our deaths and sent the other to that kind of place."
Grandpa looked at him coldly: "Why don't you ask yourself first, do you really want to kill me?"
"Heh." Shen Xingyuan chuckled, his eyes devoid of warmth. "Guess why I came back this time?"
Grandpa frowned.
Shen Xingyuan had someone push him away.
-
We arrived at a luxury hotel in Lincheng.
Shen Xingyuan booked the entire place.
When we arrived at the presidential suite, he looked at me and asked, "When did you find out?"
"It was Secretary Liu Yanfei who told me." I didn't intend to hide it.
"It seems Shen Yuan tells her everything." Shen Xingyuan immediately guessed where she got the information from.
I said coldly, "Although I know, I do not acknowledge you as my father."
Shen Xingyuan's expression stiffened: "Shen Yan, now that you know, you should understand that this was absolutely not my intention. I was framed."
I remained silent.
"That day, they made me drink and threw me into a room. I have no recollection of what happened that night. It wasn't until I regained consciousness that I realized the woman in the bed was actually Shen Yuan's newlywed wife." Shen Xingyuan was also in great pain.
"Was my mother still unconscious at that time?" I asked.
Shen Xingyuan nodded: "They administered a very strong drug, which seems to have caused some damage to your mother's nerves."
“There was damage, and her memory has been poor ever since. Shen Yuan used this as an excuse to get my mother to leave the company, rest properly, and take care of me.” My heart sank.
My mother never knew why things turned out this way.
It wasn't until she met Shen Yuan alone that Shen Yuan revealed the matter.
“Shen Yuan said he didn’t want your mother to know about this after she woke up, so they took me out of the room.” Shen Xingyuan’s voice was slightly hoarse: “They made a condition: if I didn’t agree, they would send me to the police station on charges of rape.”
"What are the conditions?" I asked.
“First, I want to transfer all my company shares to Shen Feng. Second, I want to give all my money to Shen Yuan as compensation,” Shen Xingyuan said.
I laughed angrily: "It was clearly my mother who was bullied, yet she gave the money to Shen Yuan as compensation."
“Actually, I also suspected at that time that your mother might have colluded with them.” Shen Xingyuan looked at me meaningfully.
I said angrily, "My mom isn't that kind of person. If she knew about this, she wouldn't have been provoked by Shen Yuan!"
Seeing my outburst of anger, Shen Xingyuan immediately explained, "I only had suspicions at first, but after I investigated, I found out that your mother was indeed innocent."
"Why were you locked up in a mental hospital?" Huo Yubai asked.
Shen Xingyuan frowned: "Because I wanted to avenge my mother, the old man was afraid I would retaliate against him, so he sent me in while I had nothing."
"Was it Mo Yiyan who rescued you?" Huo Yubai asked.
Shen Xingyuan nodded.
"So, what is the Meihe Group?" I glanced at him.
“Meihe Group was founded by Mo Yiyan and me before I was imprisoned. The Chairwoman Wang you met is actually a good friend of my mother,” Shen Xingyuan said.
“I see.” I looked at him coolly: “I guessed that you had something to do with Meihe Group, but I didn’t expect you to be the mastermind. No wonder Gu Heng is so convinced that Chairman Wang is a fake and that I have an affair with the old chairman of Meihe Group.”
Gu Heng was right; the real mastermind behind the Meihe Group was indeed a man.
He just wouldn't have guessed about my relationship with Shen Xingyuan.
This also shows that although Liu Yanfei is his aunt, she doesn't tell him everything.
"I know you think I didn't handle this matter well enough," Shen Xingyuan said slowly.
“You don’t need to say anything more.” I interrupted him: “I know what you mean. If the Shen family collapses overnight, someone will definitely investigate. I’m afraid people will find out about what happened between you and my mother. Even if you are both innocent, it’s still not a good thing.”
“But I promise, this is just an appetizer.” Shen Xingyuan looked at me intently. “Shen Yan, I don’t expect you to call me Dad, but as your father, I must protect you and your mother.”
I scoffed, "No need, you take care of yourself. Xia Zhe is with my mom."
"How will Xia Zhe protect your mother?" Shen Xingyuan's brows furrowed. "He's so young and still not married. Is there something wrong with him?"
"You can't tell that Xia Zhe likes my mom, can you?" I was speechless. "Before the accident, my mom also had feelings for Xia Zhe."
Shen Xingyuan snorted: "They are about ten years apart in age."
"As long as they like each other, age isn't a problem." I shrugged. "My mom doesn't look old either. It's not unreasonable for her to try out a younger guy. You're having a good time, so why do you care what she does?"
"Me, a womanizer?" Shen Xingyuan said angrily. "I only have your mother as my wife. I was imprisoned for twenty years and had no chance to touch any other woman."
"Just because you haven't touched her doesn't mean you haven't thought about it. You don't even like my mom, so how could you possibly remain chaste for her?" I sneered. "I'm just respecting my mom's choice. If she doesn't like you, you'd better not bother her, or I won't let you off the hook!"
"You mean you wouldn't mind having Xia Zhe as your father?" Shen Xingyuan's brows furrowed deeply.
“Why not? Having a handsome stepfather is quite prestigious,” I laughed.
Shen Xingyuan scoffed coldly: "Am I that old?"
