Chapter 149: Fraud

Nan Ge’s room was next to Shen Yanqing’s. There was only a wall between them.

Auntie Wang personally helped her tidy up. “I’ve placed the toiletries in the bathroom for you. They’re all new. These are pajamas, and they’re also new. I’ll get someone to bring you a change of clothes tomorrow morning. ”

“Thank you, Auntie Wang.” Nan Ge could tell what she was thinking.

“Alright, go wash up first. It’s getting late.”

“Okay.”

When Nan Ge came out of the shower, she realized that there was a glass of milk on the bedside table and a note beside it. The handwriting was beautiful.

It was from Auntie Wang.

Nan Ge stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to say.

In comparison, Shen Yanqing’s biological mother looked like a vicious stepmother in television dramas.

Nan Ge was still sighing when she knocked on the door.

She took the milk to open the door and looked up to see Shen Yanqing.

The other party had yet to change out of his suit. When he saw the thing in her hand, he was stunned for a moment.

Nan Ge blinked and saw the hot milk in his hand the next second…

What a coincidence!

“Uh.” Nan Ge blinked. “Auntie Wang sent it over.” Shen Yanqing understood. “Do you need anything?”

“No. Auntie Wang has already prepared everything for me.”

“Do you want to come in?” Nan Ge moved aside, but Shen Yanqing shook his head. “No, I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to sleep well in a new environment, so I wanted to get you a glass of milk.”

The Shen family had a lot of rules and an extremely strict upbringing. It was mainly because of Shen Yanqing’s grandfather.

As a result, even if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, Shen Yanqing could not step into Nan Ge’s room at this time. He only dared to chat with her at the door.

“Then give it to me too.”

“Don’t drink too much at night.” Shen Yanqing dodged and did not let her take it.

He looked at the time. He could not stay long. “Do you want to rest now?”

Nan Ge was not very sleepy yet. It was her first time in an unfamiliar environment, and she was filled with curiosity about everything here.

The Shen family’s old residence had an antique flavor to it. It was a classic style building with a sense of history.

However, since it was her first time visiting, she could not look around freely. Hesitating, she asked softly, “Why don’t you show me around?”

Shen Yanqing laughed. “Sure. But don’t go to the courtyard. It’s a little cold at night.’

“Yes, yes!”

There was actually nothing interesting in the Shen family’s old residence, but Shen Yanqing knew that if he did not bring Nan Ge around tonight, she would probably not be able to sleep well later.

He thought for a moment. The only thing worth visiting here was the attic, so he brought her up.

While Shen Yanqing went to turn on the lights inside, Nan Ge looked around at the display cabinets and could not help but ask, “What did your family do before?”

“My family is a local in Huai City. My ancestors were quite well-off, and they were quite famous in the city. My great-grandfather abandoned a scholarly career and joined the military to participate in a few battles. When it was my grandfather’s time, he went back. Speaking of my family, we actually started doing business from my father’s generation.”

Shen Yanqing explained tirelessly.

After hearing this, Nan Ge could not help but exclaim, “I didn’t know your family had such a background.”

The Nan family had also been rich for a few generations, but it was still different from the Shen family.

“These are all old items left behind from before. Actually, there’s nothing interesting here. After thinking about it, the only thing worth looking at is here.”

“What is this?”

Nan Ge pointed at the things in the cabinet. Shen Yanqing looked over and relaxed. “You reminded me.”

“Huh?” Nan Ge looked at him in confusion.

Shen Yanqing opened the cabinet and took out the things inside. “This is the family tree. Last time, I promised to show it to your brother.”

‘ Nan Ge was shocked. “Why do you have to show it to him?”

Shen Yanqing chuckled. “It’s not something that he can’t see anyway.”

He gently flipped it open and pointed it out to Nan Ge. “In my generation, excluding the secondary branches, there are only me and my cousin.”

His father did not have any other children. There was no such thing as an illegitimate child.

Nan Ge flipped through their family tree curiously. In the end, she was surprised to find that strictly speaking, the Shen family was not a wealthy family.

Using the word ” wealthy family” was an insult.

The Shen family should be considered a good scholarly family in this area.

Just by looking at the family tree, Nan Ge saw one or two familiar names, as if she had seen them in some textbook.

In comparison, Shen Yanqing’s casual introduction just now seemed too humble and low-key.

Shen Yanqing had always been a man of his word. That night, he brought the family tree downstairs.

After Nan Ge fell asleep, he took the family tree to the study to look for his father.

In the study, Mr. Shen was wearing glasses and reading with his eyes narrowed.

“Nan is resting?” Mr. Shen was not surprised to see him.

“Yeah.”

Shen Yanqing sat down and placed the family tree on the table. Seeing this, Mr. Shen took off his glasses and closed the book in his hand. “Why did you suddenly take this down?”

“I brought Nan Ge around just now. When I saw this, I wanted to show it to her family.”

Mr. Shen chuckled. “Is her family worried that you’re a scammer? What did you do? Why does her family want to see our family tree?”

There was naturally a misunderstanding, but it could not be explained in a few words.

Fortunately, Mr. Shen did not think there was anything wrong with his actions.

“Whatever. Remember to bring it back and put it back in place.”

“Yeah.”

Seeing that he wanted to say something but hesitated, Mr. Shen paused briefly as he reached for his book. “Is there anything else?”

Shen Yanqing placed his hand on the family tree and looked up carefully. “Is it okay to provide your household register?”

“Didn’t you already transfer yourself out of the household register ages ago?” Mr. Shen did not understand. Shen Yanqing and they were no longer on the same household register, so why did he want it? “Yes, but aren’t you with Auntie Wang now? So…”

Shen Yanqing did not say it out loud.

Mr. Shen was a smart person. He nodded and said that he understood.

Then, he got up and went to the cabinet to get it.

He took out many documents from the cabinet and lowered his head to look for them. “Do you need anything else?” “Not for now.”

It was hard to say in the future.

Mr. Shen handed over the household register and sat back down.

“When are you going to visit Nan Gel s parents?”

“After some time, right? Nan Ge has just started school. This has to wait until her holidavs.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Father Shen nodded repeatedly. “Then remember to tell me when you decide on it so that I can prepare some gifts for you. Her parents have put in a lot of effort with the gifts this time. We have to be respectful.

“I understand.”

Both father and son were silent. After a long while, Mr.. Shen asked softly, “We didn’t do anything inappropriate tonight, right?”
