730 What Do They Want from Them?
She was not the one who was worried anyway. Since Shen Yong had called her so early in the morning, it was apparent that he had something to ask of her. So he could scold her all he wanted. She would see who would be more anxious.
Shen Yong’s expression froze, like a rooster that had its neck grabbed. He fell silent for a long while, and the expression on his face kept changing. He instinctively wanted to get angry again and force Shen Hanxing to submit to him. But on the other hand, his rationality told him that it was not wise to get angry. Shen Hanxing would not fall for it at all.
“Daddy…” Shen Sisi tugged at Shen Yong’s arm and shook her head gently. She said in a low voice, “You did not meet Shen Hanxing to quarrel with her. Let’s talk it out.”
Shen Yong took a deep breath. “Fine. You’ve grown up. You’ve learned how to threaten me.” His voice softened, and he even mumbled some of Shen Hanxing’s faults before he continued, “Have you seen the news on the internet?”
“He actually endured it like this?” Shen Hanxing’s lips curled into a smile as she thought when she vaguely heard the voice on the other end of the phone. But there was no trace of joy in her eyes. Shen Yong had started from scratch and was able to build the Shen family’s company to its current scale. Obviously, he was not an idiot who only knew how to get angry. On the contrary, he had been able to adapt to the situation outside all these years. However, he was used to having his life go smoothly all these years. So, it was inevitable that he would be a little conceited. In addition, his desire to control his family and his chauvinistic thoughts made it difficult for him to be in an inferior position to his family. Shen Hanxing was especially surprised that his children had lowered their heads to him. It was also because he had suppressed his anger so easily that Shen Hanxing was surprised.
Shen Hanxing drooped her eyelids and walked barefoot over to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out, she saw Ji Qian and Ji Ning sitting on a rattan chair in the garden around her grandmother, seemingly chatting and laughing. The sun’s golden rays shone on them, making them look warm and cozy. This calmed Shen Hanxing’s anger considerably. She said calmly, “There’s so much information on the internet. Which one are you referring to, Mr. Shen Yong?”
Shen Yong could not help but get angry when he heard how Shen Hanxing addressed him. She did not even call him ‘father’ anymore. Her temper was the same as her dead mother’s! Shen Yong clenched his teeth. His face was full of anger, but his voice was very calm. “Of course, it’s about your sister, Shen Sisi. You’re an elder sister. Why don’t you care about your family?”
“I’m the only daughter my mother gave birth to. Since when I got a sister?” Shen Hanxing sneered. “you’re willing to add anyone to the family registration book? That’s your own business. Don’t randomly claim that they are my family. We’re not close!”
“You!” Shen Hanxing’s words were impolite, and Shen Yong trembled with anger. “Whether you admit it or not, Shen Sisi is your sister! You don’t want to recognize your family? The law recognizes blood relations!”
“What’s recognized by law? I’m not even in the same family registration book as you.” Shen Hanxing found it funny. In the beginning, her household register was with her grandmother. But now, it was with the Ji family. What did it have to do with Shen Yong? Moreover…
Shen Hanxing didn’t know what Shen Yong, or rather, other men who cheated on others like him, were thinking. Was it worth it to abandon his first wife for these mistresses? What could a good girl like her be up to by getting entangled with a married man? What else could they want besides money? Was it because they were old, promiscuous, lecherous, or because they didn’t have any moral values? The girls were after his money and status, after all. They wanted to be wealthy.
Unfortunately, Qiao Wei, who had become the mistress, had brought her children to a life of luxury. Shen Yong, that scumbag, was also safe and happy with a successful career. When she thought about her mother, who had passed away at a young age, Shen Hanxing felt a little sad. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if her life would have been different if her mother were still alive. She would have someone to love and dote on her too. At the thought of this, Shen Hanxing lost interest in continuing the conversation with Shen Yong and coldly said, “Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and tell me what you must say while I still have patience.”
