Chapter 188 Did He Mention Me?

The sun is rising, and the golden light pierces through the clouds and shines onto the earth.

The sea is sparkling, and the blue water gently hits the white sand beach.

From time to time, people would walk barefoot to the beach and play in the waves, mostly young girls.

On the terrace, Shen Zhengnan and Shen Jiyuan stood side by side, looking at the sea in the distance.

Li He put down the tray, squatted on the ground and poured wine into two crystal glasses.

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Shen Zhengnan looked into the distance calmly.

Shen Jiyuan turned around and handed the cup to him.

"It only takes a week for my uncle to take full control of the company. What you have to race against is time."

Shen Zhengnan himself knew that it was impossible for Shen Jiyuan to die like this.

Listening to his words, Shen Zhengnan lowered his eyes and chuckled.

"From the moment you returned to the Shen family, I knew I couldn't beat you."

But he still didn't give up, and his years of planning were ruined in an instant.

So he tried again and again, and took action again and again, but the person in front of him never took him seriously.

"My uncle was actually thinking that if he had been a little more ruthless at the beginning, it would have been better. If I had died at the age of 18, in Luoxia Bay, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble now."

Shen Zhengnan tightened his grip on the cup, "Do you think I don't want to?"

But this kid seemed to be assisted by God all the way from Pancheng. The people he sent to keep an eye on him didn't even know when he arrived in Jianghuai.

"But what's the point of saying all this now? I lose, and I admit it." Shen Zhengnan lowered his proud head.

He has been in the company for so many years, and if it weren't for his own lack of ability, he would not have been able to gain the old man's favor.

It would not be possible that he still failed to take control of the company after so many years since Shen Zhengchuan left.

He knows his abilities, and the old man knows them even better.

So after his sons could no longer provide him with hope, the old man turned his attention to his grandchildren.

However, the Shen Muzhe brothers are still not the ones the old man most wants to be in power.

After many twists and turns, it finally turned out to be Shen Jiyuan.

"Looking back now, all the things I did were nothing but a joke in your eyes."

Shen Jiyuan took a sip of wine and looked into the distance.

"There's nothing ridiculous about fighting for what you want."

In a person's life, there are always thousands of obsessions entangled in it, and among the thousands of threads, you will always find something you don't want to let go.

Shen Zhengnan looked at Shen Jiyuan's calm expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Anyone who has seen your father will think that you look like him, but I know that you are most like him in character."

Many people in the Shen family said that Shen Zhengchuan was proud and lively back then.

It's not at all like Shen Jiyuan's taciturnity.

The personalities of the father and son are completely different.

Shen Zhengchuan is the spoiled and free-spirited man who is the center of attention, but Shen Jiyuan is the calm and steady man who has experienced many hardships.

It is said that their personalities are worlds apart, but Shen Zhengnan knows that Shen Jiyuan is most like Shen Zhengchuan.

"Whatever. What's the point of calculating all the time in one's life?"

Shen Zhengnan said this and looked at Shen Jiyuan, his eyes full of calmness.

"I know you all suspected me, but apart from arranging for your mother to go to him, I never did anything to him. That car accident had nothing to do with me."

Shen Jiyuan nodded, "I know."

If it wasn't really unrelated, Shen Zhengnan wouldn't be standing here unharmed.

These things had been thoroughly investigated as early as when Shen Jiyuan returned to Jianghuai.

The car accident caused the death of Shen Zhengchuan and his wife, and also exposed the existence of Shen Jiyuan to Jianghuai. If Shen Jiyuan was a little more mediocre, a child with average qualifications, or a girl like Shen Zhiyue.

Maybe now they can be like other families out there.

"Has he ever mentioned me to you?" Shen Zhengnan suddenly asked this question while looking at Shen Jiyuan.

Shen Jiyuan looked into the distance and saw a girl wearing a yellow floral halter dress appearing on the white beach.

He was wearing a sun hat with a wide brim, and a girl wearing the same outfit was following behind him.

"Yes."

Shen Zhengnan tightened his grip on the fence, "What did he say?"

Shen Zhengchuan is a man who always sticks to his own way.

Even if he is wrong, he never looks for his own faults. He is conceited and arrogant.

"He has two older brothers. The eldest brother is the most stable and loves him the most. He has helped him since he was young and would leave the best things for him."

Shen Jiyuan still remembers what Shen Zhengchuan said the only time he mentioned the Shen family in front of him.

My eldest brother is most like my father. He is old-fashioned and inflexible, and he is even more like my father when he has a stern face. But he is very good to me. When I was a child, I broke many ornaments in the house, and it was always my eldest brother who helped me to break them, so I avoided many beatings.

My second brother loves to play the most, but he never leaves me behind and always takes me with him wherever he goes.

In Shen Zhengchuan's heart, he just felt that he had hurt his family by running away from home.

Even after knowing that Huo Zhi was arranged by Shen Zhengnan, she never thought of blaming Shen Zhengnan.

In his world, one chooses one's own path, and even if there are problems, one should blame oneself, not others.

People are arranged by Shen Zhengnan, but love is not.

"I can imagine the look on his face when he said those words."

Shen Zhengnan suddenly chuckled, as if he remembered something that happened many years ago.

"Your father had a pure heart until his death."

Shen Zhengnan actually thought that maybe if Shen Zhengchuan was in his position.

The choices made would definitely be completely different from his.

"I'm already this old, and it's time for me to retire. After I hand over my work, I will go to Country G. There is an island there, isolated from the world. I'll trouble you to take care of your grandma from now on."

Shen Zhengnan looked at Shen Jiyuan.

After fighting for a long time, he knew that he could not shake Shen Jiyuan's position.

No matter what, it's just worrying about nothing.

"As for Mu Ze." Shen Zhengnan paused, "Forget it. If you do something wrong, you always have to pay the price. He has to pay the price too."

If it weren't for him as a father, Shen Muzhe might not have taken such a risk.

He didn't want to ask Shen Jiyuan to let Shen Muzhe go. After all, between them, Shen Muzhe was the one who was wrong.

Shen Zhengnan paused when he turned around, then reached out and patted Shen Jiyuan's shoulder.

If you are in front of them, they will probably like you very much. Back then, the eldest brother liked me the most.

But not necessarily, if you can meet those conditions.

Shen Zhengchuan's words resurfaced in his mind.

Shen Zhengchuan has always known what conditional love is.

He tilted his head back and drank the last sip of wine in the glass.

The phone beside him vibrated, and the name displayed on it made him look into the distance.

The girl standing on the beach smiled brightly and waved at him desperately.

"Come down and let's go fishing!"

The hem of her floral dress fluttered in the sea breeze.

The smile is far brighter than the glaring sunlight behind.
