Chapter 10: surprise
Why doesn't my father like him? This is a question that Shen Xi never understood when she was young.
The father will smile kindly at the brothers, the father will hold Shen Cheng up high, the father will take the brothers to the playground, the father will praise the brothers as his favorite children, but Father never saw himself in the corner and the eyes he longed for.
Young Shen Xi doesn't know why? He had asked his mother this question, and that night, the mother and father had a big fight. Shen Xi, who was hiding under her mother's bed, clearly heard her father's roar, "I didn't want this child from the beginning, it was you who insisted on giving birth."
Is this child referring to yourself?
Shen Xi felt that she understood something and didn't seem to understand anything.
He didn't sleep as obediently as usual that night, but slipped out of the room while his mother was not paying attention. He wandered alone in the empty corridor of Shen's house, and then he saw his father.
In a room that was often locked in the corner of the third floor, my father stood motionless like a statue, looking at the large and small photo frames hanging on the wall. Inside all the photo frames was a person, a woman Shen Xi didn't know.
Father's face was an expression that Shen Xi had never seen before, nostalgic and gentle, Shen Xi stared blankly, not even knowing when her mother appeared behind him.
The father and mother had a fierce quarrel again. The angry mother picked up the chair in the room and smashed the photo on the wall. In the splash of glass, Shen Xi looked down at the photo that fell at her feet. In the photo, a woman smiled softly at herself.
Shen Xi quietly hid the photo and gave it to her grandfather. In his grandfather's unexpected expression, he knew the woman's name - Fang Yun, who was also the mother of Shen Ji and Shen Cheng.
With the death of her mother and grandfather, Shen Xi grew up day by day, and more and more heard of Fang Yun's name from outsiders, her father's favorite woman.
Favorite? Shen Xi sneered in her heart, so what is Zhou Mingmei?
Shen Xi's recollection was but a moment, and a strange female voice sounded opposite, "Mr. Shen, how much are you going to pay?"
Shen Xi calmly looked at the woman who was talking, Chu Qianqian, the person Old K helped him find.
Chu Qianqian looks like she is only about twenty years old, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, and a face that is more like that woman than Zhou Mingmei. Completely, destroying the graceful appearance of that face.
Shen Xi lowered her eyes, "How much do you want?"
Chu Qianqian slowly spit out the smoke ring from her mouth at Shen Xi, "Five million, no second price!"
Shen Xi smiled softly, "Do you think you are worth the price?"
Chu Qianqian leaned forward, the V-neck on her chest stretched open to reveal the white part inside, and she gave Shen Xi a charming look, meaning to say, "Do you think I'm worth it? ?"
Shen Xi glanced flatly and commented impartially, "That's it."
Chu Qianqian straightened up immediately, glared at Shen Xi, Shen Xi laughed, "I'll give you ten million, one year, find a way to stay by his side make him fall in love with you."
Chu Qianqian was obviously taken aback by this number, and immediately reacted, for fear that Shen Xi would regret it and nodded quickly, "No problem."
Shen Xi looked at her and said softly, "Don't think this matter is easy, that person is not the kind of man you used to be around. If it wasn't for your face, believe me, Even if you stand in front of him naked, he won't look at you."
Xu is what Shen Xi said seriously, Chu Qianqian put away her casual expression, "Who is the person you want me to seduce?"
Shen Xi's mouth twitched, "You must have heard his name, Shen Dehan of the Shen Group, my father."
Chu Qianqian looked at Shen Xi in surprise, "Shen Dehan? You asked me to seduce your father."
Shen Xi looked at her reaction with interest and nodded.
Chu Qianqian looked in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid that I will create a younger brother for you?"
Shen Xi was amused by this sentence and couldn't help laughing. After a while, Shen Xi restrained her smile and said, "If you really have the ability to get pregnant, no matter whether the child is born or not, I will pay 10 million more. Of course, no matter what my father gives you during this process, it will be paid after the event. is yours."
Shen Xi smiled with satisfaction and gestured to the bag beside her, "Go wash your face, put on your clothes and let me take a look."
As Chu Qianqian disappeared, Shen Xi's eyes fell on a photo on the table. The woman in the photo was wearing a white dress and smiled gently at Shen Xi, who reached out her hand to block the woman's smiling face.
But after a while, Chu Qianqian came out, washed off the thick makeup on her face, and a white dress made her look extremely pure.
Shen Xi looked straight at that face and smiled slightly.
"You are such a lunatic!" This is Old K's evaluation of Shen Xi after Chu Qianqian left.
Shen Xi raised her eyebrows, "Thank you for your compliment."
"Do you think Shen Dehan will be seduced?" Old K was a little suspicious.
Shen Xi's mouth twitched, "Why not? A young and energetic Fang Yun is no less than the best aphrodisiac and medicine for a father who is now old and frail."
Old K laughed, "Shen Ji will definitely hate you."
Shen Xi looked happy, "I just want to be a dutiful son. What's more, there is already a Zhou Mingmei, and an extra Chu Qianqian is nothing. Shen Ji has a deep relationship with his father and son. , I'm sure I will understand my father."
Old K had a look of good drama on his face, "Zhou Mingmei is not simple, she might make trouble."
Shen Xi lowered her eyes, "That's exactly what I want."
Yes, that's exactly what Shen Xi wanted.
There were three women in Shen Dehan's life. The first woman is Fang Yun, Shen Dehan's true love, the second is Shen Xi's mother Han Rou, and the third is Zhou Mingmei.
For Han Rou, if her marriage with Shen Dehan was a tragedy, then Fang Yun was the source of the tragedy, and Zhou Mingmei was the driving force behind the tragedy.
When Zhou Mingmei met Shen Dehan, Shen Dehan had just married Han Rou. At that time, Zhou Mingmei was only 18 years old. She had just set foot in the entertainment industry and was a newcomer to support from an entertainment company. Because of Zhou Mingmei's appearance like Fang Yun, she was quickly raised by Shen Dehan and disappeared from the entertainment circle since then.
Fight with a dead man.
But soon, as smart as Zhou Mingmei, she understood from Shen Dehan's attitude towards Han Rou that Han Rou did not please Shen Dehan. In the beginning, Zhou Mingmei only wanted to follow Shen Dehan peacefully and live a prosperous life. But with the relationship between Shen Dehan and Han Rou, and with Zhou Mingmei's pregnancy, her desire grew step by step. Why does his own child bear the name of an illegitimate child when he is born, and if he can, why can't he be the righteous young master of the Shen family? This idea fermented when the news of Han Rou's pregnancy came out. Comparing the different lives of the two children, Zhou Mingmei began to calculate step by step.
It didn't take long for Zhou Mingmei to reveal her existence to Han Rou. It is conceivable that Han Rou killed Zhou Mingmei for the first time. It happened that Shen Dehan saw how Han Rou was. Bullying poor Zhou Mingmei.
As expected by Zhou Mingmei, the relationship between Han Rou and Shen Dehan further deteriorated, quarreling every day. And Shen Xi was also forced to come to this world ahead of time during their quarrel. On the contrary, Zhou Mingmei, who was pregnant before Han Rou, gave birth two months later than Han Rou.
At that time, the relationship between Han Rou and Shen Dehan completely broke down. Shen Dehan was not happy with the birth of Shen Xi, but he was very happy with the birth of Shen Rong.
All of this was seen by Zhou Mingmei, who thought her wish would be fulfilled step by step, but unexpectedly, Mr. Shen scolded Shen Dehan for Zhou Mingmei's affairs, and said Han Rou to the outside world She was the only daughter-in-law he admitted, completely breaking Zhou Mingmei's thoughts.
After that, Han Rou jumped off the building and died, Shen Xi was not liked by Shen Dehan, Zhou Mingmei became the only woman around Shen Dehan, until today.
Shen Xi thought, although he hated his father, how could he forget that woman?
With the appearance of the young and energetic "Fang Yun", will my father still miss the aged Zhou Mingmei?
He didn't forget that his father kept telling Shen Ji that Zhou Mingmei was just a substitute for their mother. Since it is a stand-in, it is normal for the old to be replaced by the new.
Shen Xi smiled slightly. He also had to endure the hardships his mother had suffered in those days.
