Back to my parents when I was seventeen

It was already night, and the lights in this row of shops were all on. The bright light poured out from the shops, echoing with the street lights beside the road, illuminating the whole world.

The two stood on the roadside next to the store. Shen Yubai looked down at the girl in front of him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Xu Chuning took out the money from her bag and handed it to him.

Shen Yubai looked at it, his eyebrows twitching, "What do you mean?"

"I won't give you the money for the phone," Xu Chuning insisted. "But I will still give you the money for the phone."

Shen Yubai was silent for a few seconds, looking at her with a cold look, "Are you sure?"

Xu Chuning nodded.

There's something uncertain about this.

"Okay," Shen Yubai said in a bad tone, "I'll take it. You can rest assured now, right?"

Xu Chuning: “…”

Hearing Shen Yubai's unhappy tone, she frowned in confusion, "I gave you money, why are you so unhappy?"

Shen Yubai asked back: "...What do you think?"

Xu Chu Ning said confidently: "If I knew, I wouldn't ask you so much."

Shen Yubai choked, and even wondered in his mind how he would fall in love with Xu Chuning in the future and marry her and have children with her.

She really won't listen to anything.

"Do you care whether I'm happy or not?" Shen Yubai asked unexpectedly.

Xu Chuning: “Ah?”

She looked at Shen Yubai with an expression as if to say, "What are you talking about?", which made Shen Yubai realize at that moment what a stupid question he had asked.

"Nothing." Shen Yubai took a deep breath and took the money she handed over. "Let's go."

Xu Chuning: “…”

She paused and hummed softly, "Don't let Shen Sinian always go to your place to play games."

Shen Yubai ignored her. He glanced at the person who was peeking at him furtively, and said in a cold voice, "Are you leaving or not?"

Shen Sinian: "...Let's go."

On the way back, Shen Sinian vaguely felt that Shen Yubai was in a bad mood. Wasn't he quite happy when he came back?

Entering the community, the father and son entered the elevator in silence.

As they were about to go back to their respective rooms, Shen Sinian scratched his head and couldn't help asking, "What did Ningning say to you?"

He didn't see the scene where Xu Chuning gave Shen Yubai cash, so he was confused.

Shen Yubai glanced at him coldly, "What?"

Shen Sinian: "You look like you're in a bad mood."

"Heh," Shen Yubai pulled his lip and sneered, "Nothing to say, there's nothing to talk about between us."

Shen Sinian: “…………”

Things seemed to be more serious than he thought.

But Shen Yubai is not a talkative person. No matter how Shen Sinian tried to inquire, he ignored him.

Shen Sinian had no choice but to secretly plan to go to the shop tomorrow to ask Xu Chuning.

The next day, he planned to take a bath.

On the weekend, Mr. Shen wanted to see Shen Sinian. Mr. Shen had made such a request before, but Shen Yubai made an excuse for Shen Sinian, saying that he didn't want to see the old man for the time being.

Uncle Shen Yubai got lost, and Mr. Shen was largely responsible.

Therefore, he used the excuse that Shen Sinian might be sad to see him and temporarily stopped the two from meeting.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. Shen Sinian has been here for such a long time, it is impossible for him to never meet the old man.

In fact, Shen Sinian was not afraid of meeting Old Man Shen. He had a little impression of his great-grandfather. The old man died when Shen Sinian was more than three years old. He was very kind to Shen Sinian and would always think of him when there were any fun and delicious things.

By the time Shen Sinian could call people, he could no longer recognize people. But as long as Shen Sinian went to see him, he could accurately call out his name.

When he was very young, Shen Sinian liked his great-grandfather very much.

The two of them sat in the back seat. Shen Yubai glanced at the silent person next to him, "Nervous?"

Shen Sinian shook his head, "No."

He was just remembering the old days.

Shen Yubai raised his eyes and said calmly, "Answer whatever he asks. If you can't answer, just say you don't know, or throw the question to me."

In order to avoid the old man asking too many detailed questions, Shen Yubai had a conversation with Shen Sinian in advance.

Shen Sinian agreed quietly, "I know."

Shen Sinian originally thought that the Shen family would not be very wealthy more than 20 years ago.

Facts have proved that he really underestimated the financial resources of the Shen family and also underestimated the Shen family's status in Jiangcheng.

The old man likes Chinese-style things, and the old house is also designed as a Chinese courtyard. The yard is very large, filled with rockery and rocks, lush trees, and precious flowers. It is completely different from the places he has been staying in recently.

The Shen family residence seems to be a kind of low-key luxury that can only be seen more than 20 years later.

Shen Sinian looked around in astonishment, then looked at Shen Yubai: "...Our family is really rich."

Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows, "Will you not be so rich in the future?"

He thought Shen Sinian's emotion was because the place he lived in twenty years would not be so luxurious.

Shen Sinian: "That's not the case."

He just thought that the current Shen family was not that generous.

As they were talking, a black car stopped in the yard.

The servant ran out of the house and the driver got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them.

"Young Master is back," Shen Sinian raised his eyes slightly and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt and a black vest bending slightly towards the two of them and calling Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai nodded and tilted his head to look at Shen Sinian, "This is Butler Li, you have met him before."

The last time Shen Yubai gave him his ID, Butler Li asked him a few questions on behalf of Mr. Shen.

Shen Sinian: "Uncle Li."

"Hey," Uncle Li looked at him, his eyes lit up, and he praised him repeatedly, "The young master is back too."

He looked at Shen Sinian and couldn't help but say, "You look a lot like your uncle."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He paused, stared at Shen Sinian for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Is there?"

Why didn't he notice it?

Uncle Li: "He looks exactly like your father when he was young."

Shen Yubai said "oh" and couldn't help but think in his mind, could it be that the saying that generations are like each other really has a basis?

Uncle Li said a few words and asked the two to go into the house quickly, as the old man was waiting for them.

Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian went in together.

When he stepped into the house, Shen Sinian saw the old man sitting in the living room. His hair had turned white, but he looked very energetic. Seeing him appear, Mr. Shen stood up tremblingly and stretched out his hand to him, "Is it Sinian?"

Shen Yubai whispered: "Go over there, he misses you very much."

Shen Sinian nodded and walked towards Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen was not a person who showed his emotions easily. He had been doing business for many years and was used to hiding his emotions. But at this moment, when he saw the descendants left by his lost son, he could no longer control his true excitement.

"Well, well, well..." Old Master Shen looked Shen Sinian up and down, saying "well" several times, "You've suffered a lot out there."

Shen Sinian shook his head silently. In fact, he didn't suffer at all.

It was similar to what Shen Yubai guessed. Old Man Shen asked him some questions about his "father" and "mother". Shen Sinian and Shen Yubai had made up a story before, which they told in bits and pieces now, and it was somewhat true.

Because the story was given by Shen Yubai, and Shen Yubai knew some things about his uncle's disappearance very early, so even if Mr. Shen arranged people to investigate, they would not find any major problems.

What's more, Shen Yubai knew the old man very well. At his age, he could still understand the feeling of losing and regaining something, so he would not delve into those lies that he had previously thought were full of loopholes.

He would deceive himself and tell himself that Shen Sinian was the descendant left by his youngest son and the bloodline of his Shen family.
