Chapter 255 - 255 A Scene
255 A Scene
Shen Shaofeng had come to Yuecheng prepared to be treated coldly by the Sang family.
However, the Sang family’s attitude toward him was not as cold as he had imagined.
Sang Qianqian, in particular, surprised him.
There was no anger in her eyes. Instead, she called him Uncle Shen with a smile, just like before.
Even Sang Minglang’s attitude was still alright. Although he was a little distant, he was still polite.
The only one who had an ugly expression on his face was Sang Pengcheng.
Shen Shaofeng could understand his feelings. He knew that his son had let the girl down, so he was particularly humble.
The process of signing and transferring the documents was completed very quickly.
Shen Shaofeng did not want to stay any longer at the Sang family’s house. He packed his things and was about to leave.
However, Sang Qianqian pulled him back. “Uncle Shen, you’ve come all the way here. Why don’t you have a meal before you leave?”
Shen Shaofeng naturally refused.
Sang Minglang spoke up, “Since my sister wants you to stay, you’d better stay. It’s time for dinner, and we don’t want you to go back and complain that the Sang family is bad at hospitality.”
In the end, Shen Shaofeng still stayed.
At the dinner table, the Sang siblings tacitly did not mention the breakup between Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu. Instead, they talked about the latest news.
After that, Sang Minglang asked about the Shen family’s company. “I see that the President of Phoenix is still Guo Muyang. Is Shen Hanyu going to stay in the capital and not come back?”
Shen Shaofeng nodded. “Old Lady Zhen likes Hanyu very much. She hopes that Hanyu can stay by her side and accompany her more.”
“He even gave up on Phoenix and stayed in Beijing. I’m afraid it’s not just to accompany her, right?”
Sang Minglang muttered to himself, “I’m sure the Zhen family has other thoughts?”
Phoenix was a company founded by Shen Hanyu, and Shen Shaofeng’s blood, sweat, and tears were all concentrated in it.
But now, he had given up the position of President so easily just to stay in Beijing with Old Lady Zhen. It was hard not to think about it.
“Old Lady Zhen does have the intention to let Hanyu take over the Zhen family’s business in the future.”
Shen Shaofeng thought of Hanyu’s physical condition and sighed.
Although the Zhen family intended to do so, Hanyu might not agree.
“So, this is the reason why your son broke up with Qianqian?”
Sang Pengcheng, who had been pulling a long face the entire time, could not help but sneer and mock, “That’s true. The heir of the capital’s number one family will eventually find a woman of equal social standing to be his wife. Of course, he’s not suitable to marry my daughter.”
Shen Shaofeng had a stomach full of explanations, but he couldn’t explain it. He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb as he picked up his glass and drank.
His silence made Sang Pengcheng even angrier. He felt even more indignant for his daughter, so his tone became sharper.
“However, your son is a little too impatient. Qianqian was still in a coma in the hospital, and he already grew the intention to break up with her. He didn’t even come to see her. Don’t blame me for speaking out of turn, but since he’s going to be the Zhen family’s heir in the future, you, as his elder, should really teach him well. It’s fine if he’s heartless, but he shouldn’t be so eager for quick success or else he’ll fall sooner or later.”
Shen Shaofeng looked as if he had swallowed a goldthread. He could only smile awkwardly and say, “Brother Pengcheng is right. I will tell Hanyu when I get back.”
“Uncle Shen, my dad is just saying those things out of anger. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Sang Qianqian refilled Shen Shaofeng’s glass. “No matter what choice Hanyu makes, I believe he has his reasons. I will always respect his choice.”
She raised her glass and said, “Uncle Shen, since Hanyu is not here, I’d like to propose a toast to you and him. I hope that he can get what he wants and everything will go smoothly in the future.”
Shen Shaofeng’s eyes were a little wet, and he drank the wine in one go.
She was such a good girl. Unfortunately, Hanyu and the Shen family were not lucky enough to have her.
Sang Qianqian raised her wine glass to drink, but Sang Minglang snatched it away. “If you can’t drink, then don’t force yourself. I’ll make a toast for you.”
He raised his head and finished the wine in his glass, then poured another glass for Shen Shaofeng. “Speaking of which, I have to thank Shen Hanyu. I only found out a few days ago that it was Shen Hanyu who saved me when I was held hostage by Ruan Cheng. I’ll give you another toast.”
When Ruan Cheng’s men had kidnapped Sang Minglang, he had been unconscious the entire time.
Later on, when Sang Minglang woke up in the hospital, the person who took care of him was his subordinate, the Sang family’s branch in the capital.
The subordinate couldn’t tell him the whole story, only saying that the police had informed him to come. Sang Minglang thought it was the police who had rescued him.
At that time,Sang Qianqian was still in the hospital. He was worried about his sister and did not have the time to go to the police station as he was busy asking about her condition.
Because Shen Hanyu never showed up, and his attitude over the phone was rather indifferent, it was even more impossible for Sang Minglang to associate his rescue with him.
When they returned to Yuecheng, Sang Minglang insisted on looking for a lawyer. Using the Sang family’s name, he made a trip to the capital and asked about the details of Ruan Cheng’s case.
It was only then that Sang Minglang realized that the person who had saved him from Ruan Cheng back then was Shen Hanyu.
Moreover, he was told that Shen Hanyu had even accompanied him to the hospital. After seeing him in the emergency room, he left and never came back again.
He must have been sent out by Old Lady Zhen to handle some affairs.
No matter what, Sang Minglang still remembered this favor. He had to thank those who needed to be thanked.
After Shen Shaofeng had finished drinking, Sang Minglang poured another cup for him.
“Actually, I want to thank Shen Hanyu for more than this. When my sister and I went to the capital for Ruan Cheng, Shen Hanyu helped me a lot. Uncle Shen, I’ll toast you again.”
Naturally, Shen Shaofeng also drank this glass of wine.
Sang Minglang seemed to have the intention of explaining everything between the Sang family and the Shen family today, including the matter of the Sang family opening a branch in Ming City and Yushan Island’s development. He continued toasting Shen Shaofeng, saying that as the two families wouldn’t be in contact anymore in the future, there would be no other chance to thank him again.
In the end, Shen Shaofeng’s face was red, his eyes were straight, and he stuttered.
Sang Minglang wanted to continue, but Sang Pengcheng stopped him with a dark expression. “What are you kids doing?”
The siblings whispered between each other at the dinner table and kept urging Shen Shaofeng to drink. They were deliberately trying to get Shen Shaofeng drunk, and Sang Pengcheng could tell.
Sang Minglang smiled. “Dad, don’t you want to know the reason why Shen Hanyu broke up with my sister?”
Sang Pengcheng frowned. “Don’t we already know the reason?”
“It’s not as simple as you think,”
At first, Sang Minglang was also biased against Shen Hanyu, but on the night before he returned to Yue cheng…
He received news from Shen Hanyu that his sister was sleeping in the courtyard next door.
He was still a little worried, so he went over.
The door to the bedroom on the second floor was left ajar. He peeked inside without disturbing Shen Hanyu.
In the end, he saw Shen Hanyu bending over and kissing her, followed by an almost inaudible voice as he said, “I love you.”
Sang Minglang turned around and went down the stairs.
After seeing this, he couldn’t fall asleep. He leaned against the yard and smoked, thinking of many things.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s name was still lingering in his mind.
Shen Hanyu came out after a long time.
At that time, the sky was very dark, and Sang Minglang could not see his expression clearly.
“She said that she’ll have nightmares if she sleeps alone. You’d better go in and keep her company,” he said calmly.
Sang Minglang called out to him, “You still love Qianqian. Why do you want to break up with her?”
Shen Hanyu didn’t respond and left without looking back.
However, from that night onward, Sang Minglang knew that there must be a secret behind Shen Hanyu’s breakup.
This was also the reason why he had cooperated with his sister and put on this show tonight.
