Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

On the way back, Shen Mo chattered on and on like a chatterbox.

Jiang Yu's mood was a bit off.

Shen Chengyan noticed her low spirits. When he got out of the car, he reached for her hand, but she pushed him away. He didn't give up and tried to hold her hand again, but she suddenly grabbed his arm and pinched it hard several times.

Shen Chengyan: "?"

With the driver's help, Shen Mo jumped out of the car and ran into the house.

Inside the car, Jiang Yu pinched and cursed, "It's all your fault!"

Shen Chengyan remained silent.

He understood what she meant.

If he hadn't let Shen Mo live with Tang Yun, the relationship between the mother and son wouldn't be so distant.

Shen Chengyan took her hand in return and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Jiang Yu shook off his hand and turned to look out the window: "Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you apologize."

Shen Chengyan didn't expect her to forgive and forget, and even gave her advice: "You can remember it for the rest of your life. If you're in a bad mood, bring it up and scold me. When Shen Mo grows up, we can tell him about it and have him help you scold me."

Jiang Yu felt that he had brainwashed her, and even imagined the scene he described.

Then she realized, "Don't dream about it. You think I'll remember this for the rest of my life? I'm going to marry President Wei and have kids. Who has time to remember this nonsense?"

Shen Chengyan: "..."

It would be even better if Wei Zongming were not mentioned.

When picking up Shen Mo from kindergarten, Shen Chengyan called the nanny to tell her that they would be coming back for dinner today.

So as soon as I entered the house, I could smell the aroma of food.

During the meal, Jiang Yu's mood remained low, and she didn't interfere much when Shen Mo chatted with Wei Ziqian at the table.

Although Wei Ziqian was not talkative, he was incredibly powerful. During the week when the two kids went to play in the square every day, Wei Ziqian even helped Shen Mo fight back against some unfriendly kids.

From then on, Xiao Ma's status in Shen Mo's heart rose steadily.

If things continue like this, he'll have to acknowledge Xiao Ma as his elder brother.

Shen Mo, who usually eats two bowls of rice, only ate one bowl today.

Because Wei Ziqian said he was too fat and told him to eat less in the future, Shen Mo agreed without hesitation.

Holding his phone and watch, he went to Wei Ziqian on the other end to boast: "Little Ma, Little Ma, have you eaten? I did very well today. I only ate one bowl of rice for lunch and dinner. I feel like I've even lost weight."

Shen Chengyan withdrew his gaze: "No wonder Mencius' mother moved three times; a good neighbor is indeed very important."

Jiang Yu gave a forced smile: "I wonder who was picking on the Wei family father and son a while ago."

"..."

Seeing that she had only touched her rice twice, Shen Chengyan guessed that she was still sullen. He put a piece of pork rib on her plate and was about to say something when Jiang Yu suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Do you think Shen Mo will hate me when he grows up?"

"Do you feel that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a mother when he was young?"

"Will he think I have a bad temper and that I yell at him all the time?"

Will he hold a grudge against me for calling him fat?

Shen Chengyan regretted telling her about his childhood. He had tried to describe it in a mild way, but it still left a shadow in her heart.

After hearing what he said, she was afraid that Shen Mo would not have a perfect childhood and would harbor resentment towards his parents when he grew up.

Shen Chengyan put down his chopsticks and said to her earnestly, "He won't hate you, he won't blame you for not fulfilling your responsibilities as a mother, and he certainly won't hold a grudge against you for scolding him."

"How can you be sure? What if he grows up and goes through a rebellious phase, then goes online to express his pain about his family of origin, complaining to netizens about how his biological mother scolded him when he was a child?"

"Because he's not that kind of person," Shen Chengyan said. "Because he's not me either."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment.

Shen Chengyan: "He is neither me nor you. He did not have a violent and gambling father in his childhood, nor did he have the experience of being hurt and not knowing who to turn to for help."

"We are not perfect parents, and he is not a perfect child. You and I only hope that he grows up healthy and happy. Although he has been spoiled and unruly these past few years, he has a long life ahead of him. I believe that with proper guidance, he will grow into a person of good character."

Jiang Yu suddenly felt a pang of sadness at what he said.

If she had a father like him during her childhood, she wouldn't have grown up stumbling and falling all the way.

If he had a responsible father, he wouldn't have experienced that kind of childhood trauma.

**

A few days later, news of Song Hongyi's meeting with Jiang Yu reached Song Yanjie's ears.

He was at the club when he received the message.

Song Yanjie pushed away the naked woman in his arms, his face twisted and dark with fear. "What did they say?"

"Chairman Song seems to want Shen Chengyan to return to the Song family. It was Deng Wen who acted as a go-between. I overheard President Deng discussing with Chairman Song in private that if Shen Chengyan is unwilling to return to the Song family, then they should groom their son."

The person who called was Lao Yang, Deng Wen's driver.

Deng Wen was unaware that he had already bribed the cash-strapped driver.

The veins on Song Yanjie's temples bulged.

He sneered and said "Okay" before hanging up the phone.

Seeing his displeasure, Qin Hao waved for the woman beside him to leave and sat down next to him: "Who made Brother Jie angry?"

Song Yanjie's face was dark: "That damned old geezer, I followed him around like a dog and worked for him, but he had no intention of giving me the company at all. He still had his eyes on that son who changed his name and identity."

"And that bitch Deng Wen, she's allied with me on the surface, but behind my back she's doing these ruthless things. She even wants to bring her daughter's son back to the Song family. She's really ambitious. She wants to swallow the Song family whole."

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "What's so difficult about that? They want to go back to the Song family, so just prevent them from doing so, right?"

Song Yanjie didn't say anything; he took out something from behind his waist.

It was a gun without bullets.

They were smuggled in from abroad.

He has always loved playing with guns, and he gets very excited when bullets are fired.

However, it's illegal in China, so the only way to satisfy my cravings is to fly abroad and hunt wild animals.

He stroked the gun and suddenly laughed eerily: "You're right, anyone who goes against me never ends up well."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Yang said to Deng Wen, "I reckon that idiot Song Yanjie will probably go and cause trouble for Shen Chengyan."

Deng Wen, engrossed in her work, didn't even look up: "Let them fight it out; we'll be the ones who suffer the consequences."

No matter how fierce their fight goes, she will be the winner.

She will be the one who has the last laugh.
