Chapter 72:
Lugson's childhood was a tragedy from an outsider's point of view.
With the death of his father, happiness slipped out of his hands once again. He watched his father's family disappear overnight, and finally Shen Xi was the only outsider left in the huge Han family.
The young Lugsen could not describe the feeling, if he never knew the taste of happiness, then it would not be too painful to lose, but his father described to him a too good future, with warmth With a family who loves him, he can go to school and play like a normal child, without worrying that his mother will not be able to support him without a job. He was looking forward to this kind of happiness carefully in his heart, but he didn't think that happiness would not come. What came was the bad news of his father's death.
Wang Changlin appeared in front of him as a savior when he and his mother's life once again fell into chaos. He arranged a place for them, he sent him to school, he cared and loved him like his father. He learned about the past of the Han Chen family from Wang Changlin, and he also got the courage to take revenge from Wang Changlin. Without Wang Changlin, he still doesn't know where he would be, and even his so-called revenge might be just a joke in the eyes of the Shen family.
Shen Xi listened to Lu Gesen's speech quietly, unwilling to admit that there was a hint of jealousy in her heart. Although Lu Gesen's past was poor and heavy, he was surrounded by his mother's meticulous care, and more importantly, Wang Changlin acted as a qualified father figure during his growth. Compared with his rich but uncaring past, he thinks Lugersen is much happier.
"The adoptive father had a crush on his aunt back then. After the aunt got married, the adoptive father was disheartened and never married." Lu Gesen said with a sigh. Back then, he accidentally discovered that Wang Changlin actually likes Han Rou, and he was very heartbroken. Anger, in his heart Han Rou was the murderer of the Han family's ruin, how could the adoptive father he admired like Han Rou. He angrily went to Wang Changlin, but saw that Wang Changlin's eyes were full of pain after hearing Han Rou's name, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say. To this day, he has already seen that his aunt's life was not a tragedy, and everything should be blamed on the Shen family.
Lu Gesen originally thought that Shen Xi would have a huge reaction, but didn't expect Shen Xi to just whisper, "I know lawyer Wang likes mother."
"What? How do you know, Xiaoxi?"
Shen Xi looked light, "I once saw Lawyer Wang in the cemetery, he said it himself."
Lu Gesen was obviously very surprised, "The foster father didn't tell me about this, I don't know..."
Shen Xi interrupted him, "I also heard from Lawyer Wang by accident."
Lu Gesen didn't know what Shen Xi's impression of Wang Changlin was, so he said hesitantly, "Xiao Xi, foster father's feelings for you are very complicated, he has never known how to face you."
Is it complicated? Shen Xi looked at her mother's bright smiling face on the tombstone, and a self-mockery flashed across her face very quickly.
The last time he saw Wang Changlin in the cemetery, he just regarded him as a stranger who had a crush on his mother. But today, he learned from Lu Gesen's mouth that Wang Changlin remembered the kindness of his grandfather in the past, and he secretly did so much after the decline of the Han family, but he only forgot himself.
He didn't know what kind of mentality Wang Changlin kept by his father's side, watching his father nurture him day by day, just a few understatement reminders five years ago. In the last life, why did he not lend a helping hand when he saw himself in prison? If he really remembered his grandfather's kindness, how could he ignore what happened to him? Or as Lu Gesen said, because of his mother, he couldn't face himself, and all consciously chose to ignore it.
Shen Xi couldn't help laughing at herself, because half of the blood of the Han family on him, the Shen family was suspicious of him and regarded him as a transparent person. Now because half of the blood of the Shen family is on his body, people related to the Han family regard him as a target of anger, and also regard him as a transparent existence.
It turns out that he should not exist for both the Shen family and the Han family.
Shen Xi's silence flashed a trace of worry in Lu Gesen's eyes. He didn't know how to explain his adoptive father's behavior to Shen Xi, and he didn't want Shen Xi to misunderstand. Shen Xi couldn't see it, but he knew the struggle and hesitation of the adoptive father, and he could see the pain of the adoptive father whenever he mentioned Han Rou.
"Foster father?"
“Cousin, what are you looking for from me?”
The two spoke at the same time, Lu Gesen hesitated for a moment, and repeated, "Foster father?"
"I know." Shen Xi quickly interrupted Lu Gesen, "I can understand lawyer Wang's mood. I am very happy to have him and I miss my mother."
Lu Gesen heard the evasion in Shen Xi's words, sighed in his heart, did not mention Wang Changlin again, but answered Shen Xi's previous question.
."
Shen Xi was obviously very surprised, looked at Lu Gesen in surprise, and immediately realized something, "Are you worried that I will be unable to make a living after Shen's collapse?"
This is indeed what Lu Gesen is worried about. In his eyes, Shen Xi relies on the Shen family for a living. After the Shen family goes bankrupt, Shen Xi will have nothing. The only way he can think of to compensate Shen Xi is to bear the burden of Shen Xi's future life. He doesn't think that Shen Xi can support himself alone.
Shen Xi's heart softened, no matter what reason Lu Gesen said to him, at least he still remembered himself.
"Cousin rest assured, I have some money in my hand to support myself, not to mention I have a film company."
The film company that Shen Xi mentioned, Lu Gesen has also read relevant reports and knows that Shen Xi's first film has a good response, although I don't know how it will develop in the future, but if Shen Xi is willing to develop seriously , food and clothing should be no problem. Thinking of this, Lu Gesen also felt relieved.
"That's fine, just call me if you have anything."
The two did not stay in the cemetery for too long, but chose to leave in tandem. Seeing Lu Gesen driving away, Shen Xi parked the car on the side of the road and pressed Old K's phone.
"Xiao Xixi, did you miss me?" As soon as the call was connected, Old K said with a strange smile.
Shen Xi was in no mood, "I met Lu Gesen."
"Didn't you keep guessing who Lu Gesen's helper in Shen's was?"
Speaking of business, K got serious, "Who?"
"Wang Changlin."
"His other identity is Lu Gesen's adoptive father. After the Han family accident, he raised Lu Gesen."
"You mean that Lu Gesen learned about the entanglement between the Han and Chen families from him?"
Shen Xi gave a soft "um".
Old K pondered, "Do you still think Han Yu's car accident was an accident?"
"I don't know." Shen Xi's voice was full of doubts, "According to the results of our investigation, my uncle's car accident was indeed an accident, but I can't think of the reason why Wang Changlin deceived Lu Gesen."
"Alright, I'll find a time to see Wang Changlin, presumably he wants to see me too."
After talking about the business, Old K couldn't help but ask carefully, "Xiao Xi, are you all right?".
"What?"
Old K hesitated and didn't know how to speak. Although Shen Xi didn't say much, he could see a lot from Wang Changlin being Lu Gesen's adoptive father. Since he took in Lu Gesen and raised him, he must have a deep relationship with the Han family, but Wang Changlin has been indifferent to Shen Xi's situation these years. Compared with the two sides, it is no wonder that Shen Xi was in a bad mood at first.
Shen Xi guessed what Old K was thinking, and chuckled, "I'm fine." Even his blood father can ignore him, Wang Changlin is just a stranger after all . Besides, he was used to this kind of indifference.
Hang up old K's phone, Shen Xi pondered. The events of Wang Changlin, his mother, his uncle, and the Han family were like a fog. He always felt that there was something he didn't know, and what he didn't know was the key to everything.
Shen Xi tapped the steering wheel lightly, her thoughts locked on Wang Changlin. Is what Wang Changlin said true or false? Has he accompanied Lu Gesen to plot revenge against the Shen family all these years just to repay his grandfather's kindness?
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Xi shook her head, maybe he thought too much, no matter what Wang Changlin's goal is, as long as he is consistent with his goal of destroying the Shen family, as for Wang Changlin What other thoughts might there be?
When Shen Xi drove from the cemetery back to the city, Shen Bixue turned to see Li Mingxuan because Shen Cheng was not there.
"Why is my mother here?" Li Mingxuan looked surprised, and was busy greeting Shen Bixue to sit down and rest.
Shen Bixue pretended to complain, "Since you and Shen Xi were together, mother misses you and can only come to the company to see you."
Li Mingxuan laughed lightly, and helped Shen Bixue make a cup of tea by himself, with a sincere expression, "I will try to take more time to go home in the future."
Shen Bixue smiled and shook her head, "My father and I have Ming Fei, and the family is very lively, but Shen Xi is outside alone, you can spend more time with him."
Li Mingxuan knew that his mother was sincere, smiled gratefully, and changed the subject, "What is the matter with mother coming out today?"
Shen Bixue said casually, "It's not to transfer the shares in his hand to Acheng, but I haven't found Acheng for two days, and I don't know where he ran to."
Li Mingxuan's heart moved slightly, "Mother is so anxious? Uncle just made this proposal."
Shen Bixue's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and quickly smiled, "I also want to save trouble, who knows what proposal your uncle will come up with in a few days."
What Shen Bixue did not say was that it was a joint decision of her and her father Li to transfer the shares in her hands to Shen Cheng as soon as possible, for the sake of An Shen's father's heart.
Li Mingxuan has been paying attention to Shen Bixue's expression. Although Shen Bixue responded quickly, Li Mingxuan still caught the unnaturalness. The doubts in his heart became more certain, Li Mingxuan pretended not to care, "Mother, are you hiding something from me?"
"How come?" Shen Bixue immediately retorted.
Li Mingxuan had already determined that his mother had something to hide from him at this time. Except for Shen Xi, he never thought that his mother would hide anything from him.
"Is it related to Xiaoxi?"
"Ming Xuan, why do you think so?" Shen Bixue was taken aback.
Li Mingxuan said sternly, "Is it related to why my uncle is so wary of Xiaoxi? Otherwise, mother, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to transfer the shares to Acheng."
"Ming Xuan, what are you talking about?" Shen Bi stood up sternly and shouted at Li Mingxuan.
Li Mingxuan didn't expect her mother's reaction to be so big, and frowned slightly, "Mother?"
Shen Bixue realized that her reaction was too big after she shouted, and she calmed down, "Ming Xuan, you think too much, mother just wants to save trouble. Well, I won't delay. You're working, and I just have something to do at night, so I'll go first."
Looking at the figure of her mother leaving in a hurry, Li Mingxuan's expression was thoughtful. His words just now were just a test, but the mother's reaction was so big, which showed that his test was in the right direction. As soon as A Ji left the Shen family, his uncle couldn't wait to ask his mother to transfer the shares in his hands to Acheng's name. His uncle was obviously worried that Xiaoxi would enter the Shen family and compete with Acheng. But Xiaoxi needs her uncle's approval to enter the Shen family. If her uncle insists on disagreeing, Xiaoxi will not be able to enter the Shen family at all. What else should her uncle worry about, unless Xiaoxi can enter the Shen family without her uncle's consent.
No? Li Mingxuan's heart suddenly moved. He had heard Shen Ji mention before that the Shen's board of directors had a rule that shareholders who held more than a certain share of Shen's shares could enter the Shen's office. Speaking of which, is my uncle worried that Xiaoxi will hold shares in Shen's? But Shen's shares are now in the hands of uncle, what is uncle worried about?
Li Mingxuan frowned inadvertently, it was about Shen Xi, he couldn't help but think more.
