CH 14

Jiang Nian felt that Mrs Yao Shuqin came to find her for some very good reason, or else how can a rich wife like her try to take back the money she willingly gave away?

She thought about it and asked: “Mrs Shen, did Shen Ming fight with you?”

Mrs Yao Shuqin reluctantly muttered: “No, Shen Ming did not fight with me. After that day, he did not mention this matter again. Something else has happened.”

Since there was no fight and no tear on the mother and son’s relationship, the purpose of Mrs Yao Shuqin had been achieved. How can she repent now?! This is too unprofessional!

“… Isn’t that good?” Jiang Nian said, “Shen Ming didn’t make trouble with you because of the things you did, and hadn’t come to me again. Isn’t that what you wanted? How can you suddenly change your mind?”

Mrs Yao Shuqin’s idea was very simple. After Jiang Nian leaves Shen Ming, Shen Ming would listen to his family and marry the girl selected by them. Even if it is not Yang Huiling, it would be okay if it is any other girl as long as her identity is suitable, someone who would help him take over Shen.

But she did not expect that Shen Ming did not make trouble with her at home. Instead, the performance in the company was not the same as in the past. After which he went to find his grandfather, saying that he had never encountered any setbacks since he was a child, and he was very successful in the eyes of outsiders. But he knows that most of his success is because he is the descendant of Shen family.

Father Shen was very surprised when he heard it. He was also very intuitive. “Is it because of your marriage? You don’t want to follow the arrangement at home, so you want to go out and do it yourself?”

Shen Ming said: “This is just one of them; the second reason is also because I want to see how far I can go on my own ability after I have left the family. If I see that I am incapable of starting my own business, I will simply take over Shen. (T/N: I am sooooo jealous. Wish I could “simply” do the same if I “failed” Q_Q ) thirdly, my life is my own life, I have the right to make my own decisions.”

After listening to this, the old man could not refute or blame him. He only said that if Shen Ming really wants to go out and stand on his own feet, he won’t get any help from his family. If he wants to be independent, he needs to start from scratch.

Shen Ming agreed.

The acquiescence of the old man is something that Shen Chongshan can’t control either. Mrs Yao Shuqin can only watch from the side-lines, anxiously. She went to Shen Ming and asked him if he decided this because of Jiang Nian’s affairs. And if he was still angry because of that, then she could go to convince Jiang Nian. It would be like the previous things had never happened. He wouldn’t have to leave home then.

Yao Shuqin hoped that Shen Ming would change his decision. He is not too young. In the past few years, it had been very difficult to take over Shen, so why does he need to go outside to suffer?!

However, she could not convince Shen Ming. Even her husband said that she should let it go. “Dad has already given his permission. And you know how Shen Ming is. Since he wants to go outside and suffer, just let him! He needs to learn how sinister this dog eat dog world really is!”

Finally, Ms Yao Shuqin could only come to Jiang Nian. She thinks that perhaps her and Jiang Nian’s things have forced Shen Ming to come to this decision.

Just like Jiang Nian said, she is still young. She hasn’t even reached the legal age of marriage. She has not thought about getting married yet… Maybe someday they will break up on their own.

However, Yao Shuqin did not want to say this to Jiang Nian. Otherwise, if Jiang Nian knew that his son decided to go out for her, her ego would inflate to the size of the sun.

So Mrs Yao Shuqin said: “I talked to Shen Ming, also seriously thought about, and realised that times have changed. Maybe you two won’t even reach the point of marriage.”

Jiang Nian was surprised. What did the man do, to make Mrs Yao Shuqin undergo such a big transition? How could he lead to her five million being at risk?!

Jiang Nian doubtfully asked: “Mrs Shen, do you really think so? Will you really not stop me and Shen Ming in the future?”

Yao Shuqin coughed softly and said: “Don’t misunderstand, this is just allowing you to date.”

“Well, I understand. It is a good start to get your approval. I believe that with time, your thoughts will change! You can rest assured, Shen Auntie, I will have a good relationship with Shen Ming!”

“………???” Why doesn’t this feel reassuring at all?

Ms Yao Shuqin looked at Jiang Nian’s obedient appearance. The more she saw, the more she felt that she was not at ease. This is definitely an act to make her drop her vigilance!

Jiang Nian said: “I said a lot of things that hurt Shen Ming. I hope that he can forgive me and understand that I was going through a hard time. Can I go to Shen Ming now?”

“Wait.” Yao Shuqin rubbed her forehead. “This thing reminds me…”

Jiang Nian drooped her head, and looked at Yao Shuqin sadly: “Ah?”

Yao Shuqin also got a little upset , after all, Jiang Nian was cooperative all this time, except for when she rejected her request to break up for the first time, she became very obedient after several a while, and did not provoke her relationship with Shen Ming. This time, she herself was the one who took the initiative to find her. Everything is going the way she wants.

Yao Shuqin thought that if she wasn’t upset by her son, she wouldn’t have been swayed this way.

“You let me to think about it again, and then I will contact you when I have decided.”

Throwing such a statement, Yao Shuqin took her small bag and left quickly; almost as if she was fleeing.

Jiang Nian also ran back to the school nervously. She felt that Mrs Yao Shuqin was too unreliable and fickle. It was scary how she kept changing. She even prepared for the final exams much more seriously than before. When had finished the exam, she did not talk to anyone. She simply took her luggage and took the train back to her hometown.

She has planned it. When she returns home, she will first buys a suite, and then develops a family of three global travel plans. It is more reassuring way to spend money.

Jiang Nian returned home and was warmly welcomed by the whole family. However, could not rest even during her holidays. Jiang Nian’s father’s early retirement crisis was also solved. It was said to be a misunderstanding and so, he continues to teach again. After those few days of sadness, he had finally come back to life.

Both husband and wife worked as usual during the day while Jiang Nian at home was busy making important decisions. She wanted to buy apartments in under a month. She looked up rooms in the app every day. She was especially interested in the ones in the vicinity of a newly built villas area, good environment, good facilities, near schools, etc.

Jiang Nian was looking at the rooms while making a global travel plan. She played a game whenever she was tired. I didn’t have much time to talk to anyone. And so, she changed from a little precious baby who just returned home to a weed they could not get rid of.  

“You see how you don’t go out and gaze around at home every da. Your body is already rotting, and so, the task of buying vegetables will now be handed over to you.”

Buying vegetables??? Are you kidding? She is now a small rich woman with a huge amount of five million. She is going to live in a villa and travel around the world. Do I still have to buy vegetables myself?

Jiang Nian’s mom: “What are you still doing here?!”

Jian Nian: “…Ok.”

… Although it is a small rich woman with a huge amount of five million, but her mother is still the most terrible creature in the world. She can only go out with some change.

She casually bought some green vegetables in the vegetable market. She bought an ice-cream cone and stepped on her flip-flops. She thought that it was time to confess to the family that she was actually a small rich man.

Who knew that when she first arrived home, she would see an uninvited guest standing downstairs?

She was shocked and almost swallowed the cone: “Shen Ming, why are you here?”

The man wore a white shirt and black trousers, looking simple and yet, handsome. The old ladies who had already passed by stopped to watch! When they saw that Jiang Nian actually knew him, they immediately started gossiping in hushed tones.

Jiang Nian ran over and looked up at him: “How come you…?”

Shen Ming smiled and raised his hand to stroke Jiang Nian’s long hair. His voice was as deep and pleasing as ever: “Jiang Nian, long time no see.”

Jiang Nian was stunned: “We have already broken up, why did you still come…”

Shen Ming blinked and snorted: “Although what you did made me angry, I know that you are not such a person. And when I came out of the study, my mom told me that you love me very much, but only because you were afraid of affecting her and my mother-child relationship, you listened to her and promised to leave me.”

Jiang Nian: “………”

… Mrs Yao Shuqin resorted to such unscrupulous means get back her five million??

Jiang Nian knew that he had left Shen to start his own business. But now Shen Ming told her about how since his grandfather had agreed, none of the member in Shen would help him. All of Shen Ming’s shares, funds, real estate, etc. could not be used by him either. He had even moved into a tiny apartment and only went back home to visit from time to time.

Jiang Nian felt stupefied. She may have known about what Shen Ming had done, but never thought he would leave Shen so decisively: “So now you have nothing now?”

Even the car he used to come here was burrowed from Xu Chen!

Shen Ming: “No, I still have you.”

Jiang Nian’s felt shaken: “…this is not the same… what about your family?”

“If I miss them, or they think about me, we can meet at any time. I can also go home whenever I want to.” He poked her forehead, somewhat helpless, “I just left the Shen family to start a business, not to break my relationship with the family.”

Jiang Nian touched her forehead. When she looked at Shen Ming, it still felt incredible.

…so is it that her long-awaited abuse has ended? QAQ

Shen Ming looked at Jiang Nian’s wrinkled face and the surprise in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows and smiled as if he had just thought of something to spread out his hand: “Give me.”

Jiang Nian looked at his palm: “…what?”

“The five million.”

“………???”

Are you the devil?? Came here to take her five million???

Yikes. So sorry it took me this long to post a new chapter. I had mistakenly spilled steaming hot coffee on my old laptop, causing it to completely die Q_Q I had to wait months before I could get a new laptop Dx Now I get actual PTSD whenever I see a laptop while drinking coffee… ._. =_=
