Chapter 19 The Overlord Wants to Get Close to His Marriage Partner
Shen Yi spent a long time choosing in the luxury store and finally found a gift suitable for Zhou Boyan.
Shen Yi's cell phone rang before he even left the luxury store with the gift. When he saw who was calling, he frowned and answered the call after hesitating for a moment.
"dad."
The person who called was his father Shen Jingshan.
Since he married Zhou Boyan, his father had called him several times, each time wanting him to say something good to Zhou Boyan to promote cooperation between the two companies.
He refused every time, but Shen Jingshan persisted at the request of his stepmother. He guessed that this time it was because of this incident.
"Xiaoyi, have you had lunch?" Shen Jingshan asked.
Shen Yi didn't want to beat around the bush with him: "Just tell me what you have to say."
Shen Jingshan hesitated, but finally asked, "Boyan's birthday is coming up, but I haven't heard anything about a birthday party. Are you not planning on having one?"
Shen Yi: "Yes."
Shen Jingshan asked in confusion, "If it's not a big event, the family should have a meal together. Why haven't we been invited?"
Shen Yi: "I don't know. Boyan can invite whoever he wants to his birthday."
Shen Jingshan was already used to Shen Yi's indifference. He didn't back down when he heard him say that. Instead, he continued to ask, "Can you ask Boyan to invite us to dinner? After all, I'm his father-in-law. It's his birthday, so it's normal for us to have a meal together."
Shen Yi knew that based on Zhou Boyan's current attitude towards him, if he brought up this matter, Zhou Boyan would definitely agree, but he didn't want to.
Shen Yi's silence had already expressed his refusal. Shen Jingshan didn't hear Shen Yi speak, but he understood what he meant. However, at the prompting of his wife's mouth shape, he continued: "The company's development has been bad recently. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss cooperation with Boyan. Can you help me?"
"Why should I help?" Shen Yi pointed out clearly: "Your company is going to be given to Shen Yu and her son. It has nothing to do with me. Even if it develops, I can't get any benefits. Why should I help you?"
Shen Jingshan hesitated and was speechless. Suddenly, a female voice interrupted him: "Do you think you can rest easy just by marrying Zhou Boyan? Everyone knows that you and Zhou Boyan have a bad relationship..."
The aggressive female voice made Shen Yi lose patience and he hung up the phone directly.
He couldn't rest easy after marrying Zhou Boyan. Could that home make him feel the warmth of family?
Because of this phone call, Shen Yi's good mood disappeared without a trace.
He knew that if he tried to do it, his father would definitely call Zhou Boyan directly.
Sure enough, when Shen Yi was still on his way home, Zhou Boyan called him and started talking about what Shen Jingshan had told him.
"Yibao, your dad just called. They said they haven't seen you in a long time and want to have dinner together on my birthday. What do you think?"
Zhou Boyan learned about Shen Yi's stay in the Shen family through the system, and also knew that Shen Yi had rejected Shen Jingshan's request.
But no matter what, Shen Jingshan is his father-in-law. He hopes that through this incident, Shen Yi will confess some things to him, otherwise he would have directly rejected Shen Jingshan's request.
Shen Yi said: "He just called me to talk about this, and I refused."
Zhou Boyan said: "I know what to do, and I will tell my parents."
Zhou Boyan's unconditional agreement made Shen Yi feel much better: "Aren't you going to ask me why I refused?"
"I have heard rumors from outside that your relationship with your family is not good." There are rumors from outside that we don't know too much, but we also know a lot. What exactly happened to Shen Yi in the Shen family is what Zhou Boyan wanted to ask Shen Yi to tell him in person.
Shen Yi told him personally, which, on the one hand, meant that Shen Yi trusted him more and more, and on the other hand, he could justifiably ignore Shen Jingshan's family in the future.
"It's not good." Shen Yi sighed softly as he watched the scenery flash by outside the car window. "My mother died when I was very young. I heard it was due to postpartum depression. Later, he married his current wife, He Qiu."
"My grandma told me that He Qiu used to be very good at acting in front of my dad. He treated me very well in front of my dad, but behind my back... when my grandma and her family came to see me, they happened to see me crying out in hunger, so they took me back."
"My grandmother died when I was eight, and my grandfather died when I was twelve, so I returned to that home."
"Because my grandparents didn't hide anything from me, I always knew that He Qiu wasn't my mother, but I thought that since my dad would visit me every year, I shouldn't be too sad to return to this home."
Thinking of what happened in the past, Shen Yi's face was complicated. Zhou Boyan did not interrupt, but just said "hmm" occasionally to prove that he was listening.
"But I was wrong. After I returned home, I found out that I had a younger brother. Dad and He Qiu loved him very much and wanted to give him the best of everything."
"No matter what I have, Shen Yu wants to grab it. He wants all of Dad's attention and the things Dad brought back for me on his business trip. Usually, I have to look at He Qiu's eyes when I eat at home."
"I've given feedback to my dad, and he just told me to be patient. Sometimes when Shen Yu makes a mistake, He Qiu will blame it on me. Dad knows it's not my fault, but he still beats me just to make that mother and son happy."
Even though Zhou Boyan already knew these things from 365, he still felt heartbroken when he heard Shen Yi say it in person.
"I lived at home for six years, and every day felt like I was living under someone else's roof. I wasn't happy at all, so I moved out as soon as I turned 18."
Zhou Boyan couldn't imagine how Shen Yi had lived through all those years. No wonder Shen Yi always had a cold and aloof attitude.
"Yibao, from now on you have me, your parents, and we are all your family."
Shen Yi thought of something, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Aunt Feng has always been very good to me. Whenever I don't have enough to eat at home, Aunt Feng will cook for me. Aunt Feng makes me feel very much like my mother."
Zhou Boyan understood. It was not difficult to understand why Shen Yi agreed to Feng Shuangyun's proposal and married Zhou Boyan even though she clearly had the ability to leave that family. It was because of gratitude.
"I'll be nice to you."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "I believe you." So don't let him down.
"Be good." Zhou Boyan said, "I'll call you back first and then I'll go back and have dinner with you in the evening."
Shen Yi hung up the phone first, and Zhou Boyan only replied to Shen Jingshan with a message, meaning that they would not be invited.
Zhou Boyan felt upset when he thought about the grievances Shen Yi had suffered.
He usually goes back home to have dinner with Shen Yi in the evening, but today he went back home before getting off work at noon.
365 looked at Zhou Boyan's behavior and sighed that this host was actually quite love-brained. He only hoped that when he left the world, the other party would be able to bear the pain of losing his lover, otherwise he would have to find a new host.
