It was already two o'clock in the morning. Whether it was during the Republic of China or now, there were several surprising sounds in the building with the style of an old Shanghai villa. The jackdaws sitting on the treetops seemed to be disturbed, and they spread their black wings with a cry. Fly away.
The servants in charge of the kitchen in the Shen family's house have already started a new day of work. They need to process the freshest food and prepare a delicious and sumptuous breakfast for the owner of the house.
In a room filled with luxurious sandalwood furniture and exuding simplicity and luxury everywhere, Mr. Shen was still sitting in the small study room in the master bedroom, flipping through various documents.
Next to him was Mrs. Shen, who had been with him from young to old.
"These real estates and the like were left to Shuocheng, as well as the certificates and antiques in the bank." Mr. Shen took out his personal property from the safe and wrote a suicide note on property inheritance while flipping through it.
It can't be regarded as a suicide note, but it was just that when he went to Switzerland, he distributed all his private property one by one, and he felt relieved when he left.
Over the years, the youngest son, Shen Shuocheng, has been with them the longest among their three sons. Although he is a little sloppy in his work, he is indeed filial to his parents. Coupled with the eldest son, Shen Shuosheng, who keeps pressing on them, their natural destiny is I am more inclined to Shen Shuocheng.
Mrs. Shen is also rummaging through her own private property. Her natal family was a capitalist in the old days. Although she didn't have much real estate, she was most in need of things like gold, silver, and jade. Except for Shen Cen who took part of it when she got married. For the dowry, the rest was in her hands untouched.
"Shuocheng has been filial since he was a child, but he just has a soft temper. Look, our family has never been safe since our eldest son brought Mei Xiaoru back. I said, maybe everything in there is Mei Xiaoru's fault. Get it sorted out.”
In the eyes of Mrs. Shen, her son is her own, and there is nothing wrong with him even if he is wrong. The daughter-in-law is not necessarily the same. How can an outsider marry in and be safe? Both of them instigate men to want to put money in their pockets. Make money.
She muttered, which became a loud noise in Mr. Shen's ears. He pushed up his reading glasses and glared at the old wife, "Okay, I have known all day that this wife is not good, and which daughter-in-law is not good. Don't forget, No matter how bad your wife is, you will still nod and agree to let her in."
"How can a husband and wife live without their own plans? They have to be selfless. I wonder how you can survive this family. Only when you have an idea in your heart can you have an idea when doing things. Shuocheng suffers because he is soft-hearted and has no idea!"
Mr. Shen naturally thinks more long-term than Mrs. Shen, "Now I think it's good for Shuosheng to be like this. He has always had an idea. No matter how powerful Mei Xiaoru is, she can't sway his decision. The family business is in his hands." Come on, I'm relieved."
If the younger son is not successful, he is not qualified to do big things, whether it is running a business or starting a business. If he had not been behind him for so many years, the Shen family would not have the status it has today in Xuanzhou.
Although the reputation from the outside is not good, there is nothing dirty inside that wealthy family. It's just that one person has lifted the fig leaf and the other one continues to cover it.
Since the eldest daughter-in-law committed suicide, the media has focused on the Shen family, and a series of things followed like a butterfly effect, all of which were exposed.
Suddenly, Mr. Shen's hand paused, and his face as old as an orange peel showed a bit of ferocity. He who was as old as a dead tree suddenly showed such an expression, which was as terrifying as an evil ghost.
