No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Bao'er can't get up in the morning and has a bad temper. Shen Bulu doesn't dare to disturb her sleep. As long as he's not on a business trip, Shen Bulu takes the child to school.

When the nanny carried Qianqian downstairs, she was still half asleep, lying lazily on her shoulder.

Shen Yanli was forced to sit at the dining table and eat breakfast by Shen Bulu.

"No rush to school, let's have breakfast first."

"I understand, Uncle."

As long as he behaves well, his mother will not abandon him.

He should listen to his aunt; his mother will come back.

His father doesn't like him, and he won't want his father anymore.

"elder brother…"

Wearing a pink princess dress and with her hair in two little ponytails, Shen Qianqian ran to Shen Yanli's side, her sweet voice as soft and fluffy as if wrapped in cotton candy, "Brother."

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

Shen Yanli said, "That's enough."

"Thank you for your concern, little sister Qianqian."

Shen Bulu picked up his daughter from the side and placed her on a chair. "You little ingrate, you treat your dad like he's not there as soon as you get up."

Shen Qianqian: "I'm sorry, Dad."

Shen Bulu: "Baby, eat your food quickly, Dad will take you to school in a bit."

"Okay."

She picked up the spoon and finished all the porridge in the bowl, as well as a cup of hot milk. "You're such a good girl. You don't need Daddy to feed you today."

"I want to be like my brother, eating my own food."

"Dad, don't talk to me while we're eating."

"Right, brother?"

He responded calmly and politely.

Shen Bulu glanced meaningfully at Shen Yanli, who was eating quietly to the side without saying a word.

There aren't many rules in the Shen family. In important matters, the head of the family, Shen Bulu, listens to him, while in minor matters, Shen Bulu listens to Bao'er. Even if she's wrong, she's right, and there's no room for argument.

At the dinner table, the mother and daughter were like chatterboxes, with endless things to say.

When we brought this child to the Shen family, we thought that living with him for a while would change him. But we didn’t expect that his rules and habits in the Shen family were already ingrained in his bones. He doesn’t talk while eating or sleeping.

Even when he talks to them, he rarely does. Bao'er tried to get him to talk more, but several times, no matter how much Bao'er said to him, he remained quiet and taciturn.

Live like a second Shen Yebai.

Shen Bulu was taking his child to school when he ran into Jiang Hua and her husband at the school gate. They were there to take the little devil back to school.

"My dear wife, Qianqian."

Pei Xun, carrying his schoolbag, ran happily to Shen Qianqian's side, while Qianqian hid behind Shen Bulu.

Shen Bulu was so frightened that he quickly pulled the troublemaker away, saying, "You brat, you're so young, and you're already doing bad things, always thinking about my precious daughter."

"She is my wife, Qianqian."

Shen Bulu looked at the woman not far away and said, "Can't Jiang Hua control her good-for-nothing son? Break off the engagement tomorrow."

Upon seeing the child's demeanor, Shen Bulu regretted so easily giving away his obedient, sensible, and beloved daughter.

Pei Xun: "I will not retreat, I will not retreat."

Shen Qianqian was so scared she almost cried.

Jiang Hua, carrying an expensive limited-edition handbag, lazily stroked her long, flowing wavy hair, which she had just styled yesterday. "Want to call off the engagement? No way!"

"My little Qianqian, how about coming home with Aunt Huahua?"

Shen Qianqian is such an adorable child, so delicate, like a doll straight out of a picture book. She wants to have a child just like her.

"I don't want to. Pei Xun always bullies people at school."

"My brother doesn't like him, and I don't like him either."

“Every time he gets himself all dirty, like a big tabby cat, I still prefer my brother.”

Tong Yan Wuji.

Yet it's a truth that adults can't say to each other. After all, adults are always different from children. Children think what they want, it's simple, they play with whoever they like.

Shen Yanli's background is inextricably linked to Pei Zhan.

In order to get rid of Shen Yebai, his rival in love, Pei Zhan really tricked her by making her give birth to the child on the operating table when she was about to have a miscarriage.

The few elders in the Shen family who could accept him have all passed away, leaving only the elderly Mrs. Shen, who is unable to take care of herself and is of unclear consciousness.

If even the last person who accepted him dies, how will this child cope in the Shen family?

"Because my uncle likes Pei Xun and doesn't like my brother. My aunt has already separated from Pei Xun and married someone else, which makes my brother sad and heartbroken."

Shen Bulu was so frightened that he immediately covered the little tyrant's mouth.

Pei Xun pouted, feeling wronged, and turned to hug Jiang Hua's leg. "Mom, I didn't steal his dad."

"My wife, Qianqian, doesn't like me anymore, Mom~"

Jiang Hua had a headache.

How come someone so young has become obsessed with love?

Jiang Hua first comforted her, saying, "Go to school first, and Mom and Dad will take care of anything."

After Jiang Hua handed the child over to the teacher.

She then questioned Shen Bulu, "Xu Xiangjun married someone else? Isn't she with the Shen family?"

"When did this happen? Did she decide she didn't want the child anymore?"

Shen Bulu irritably lit a cigarette. The smoke didn't reach Jiang Hua; it would be blown away by the wind soon. "Last time you called, you asked me to go to the Shen family with Bao'er."

“My brother-in-law, I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Not long ago, he made the child kneel in the ancestral hall, and he still has a fever. Later, because he beat up your little bastard, he made him kneel down as part of the family discipline. If you had arrived any later, without Bao’er stopping him, the child would have been beaten black and blue.”

"It was probably because of this incident that my brother-in-law thought Xu Xiangjun was disliked because she stayed in the Shen family."

"Not long ago, Xu Xiangjun found someone to marry casually."

"We don't know their background either."

Jiang Hua felt a mix of emotions. "So she just left the child alone at the Shen family home?"

Shen Bulu exhaled a puff of smoke. "What else can we do?"

"After the old masters of the Shen family passed away, many of the servants were dismissed, leaving only an old lady in the old Shen family mansion. She has stayed in the Shen family alone for so many years without any official status. The old lady is unable to take care of herself, and she does most of the work herself. Even if she wanted something else, like to act, she wouldn't have stayed in the Shen family for so many years without making a fuss and managed the Shen family so well. You know that when those old masters passed away, they didn't suffer."

"The old man lay in his rocking chair, basking in the sun, and then he passed away."

"This time, it was probably because of her brother-in-law's first outburst of anger and attempt to hit the child that she was provoked. If the old lady passes away, she will have no one to support her. Rather than being kicked out of the family by the end, she might as well leave the Shen family alone, marry someone else, and have the child live a life of comfort in the Shen family."

"Moreover, that's Shen Yebai's child. Who wouldn't want to seize this opportunity and use the child as a bargaining chip to gain power? But who can be like Xu Xiangjun, who has been quietly handling the funerals of the Shen family members all these years without making a fuss or fighting for anything?"

"Actually, I think that even without Xu Xiangjun, there are plenty of women who would covet the position of the mayor's wife. Everyone has ambition; who doesn't want status and power?"

"Even we ourselves cannot be completely innocent."

"It's enough that he's hated a child for so many years. There's really no need to drag the child into this."

Shen Yebai is no longer just the mayor; in officialdom, everyone has to defer to him, so there's no need for another marriage alliance.

"Even among women who marry into the Shen family and are of equal social standing, few in the entire capital city can match Xu Xiangjun in character and conduct. She is so good that she has no temper. The Shen family has no fear of her and can easily control her."

"For the Shen family, marriage is just icing on the cake, and not of much use."

"It would be better to find someone we know well who poses no threat to the Shen family."

Anyway, Shen Bulu had no idea what his brother-in-law was thinking.
