Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"No, Dad."

Unfortunately, his father didn't look at him again.

Shen Yan frowned helplessly and made a video call to his assistant.

The company will definitely be able to operate normally, so Shen Yan also took a leave of absence to accompany his parents to Pear Blossom Village.

Even if I can't stay there all the time, I can at least spend a few days there and relax.

That's right, this house is incredibly cold right now, no wonder Shen Qing doesn't want to come back. If it weren't for his parents being here, Shen Yan himself wouldn't want to go back either.

Especially when Shen Mian was around, almost no one in the family spoke.

The maids and housekeeper, who usually chatted, became quiet. In the huge house, the only sound at mealtimes was the clinking of cutlery.

A place that's too oppressive isn't a place for people to stay.

Unbeknownst to Shen Mian, the Shen family packed their bags and headed to Pear Blossom Village.

This time, Shen Yan had his assistant take him and his parents to the airport, and he avoided the overpass where he had the car accident in his dream.

The family of three boarded the plane smoothly. During the flight, Shen Mian called Wei Qiu several times, but Wei Qiu's phone was switched off. He was so angry that he swept the dishes and chopsticks of another meal.

The caregiver quietly packed up, thinking that he wouldn't come back in the afternoon. He had seen difficult patients before, after all, people tormented by illness are never in a good mood.

But it was rare to see him so difficult to please and prone to smashing things, so I decided to stay away from him.

Shen Mian dialed another number. The person who answered was somewhat surprised and tentatively asked:

"Shen Mian? You're Shen Mian?"

Shen Mian sneered: "Aunt, how's it going? Have you gotten all of Shen Yu's money yet?"

Wang Mei was in the county hospital at the time, and she was short of money. She thought Shen Mian had dialed the wrong number, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Oh dear, Shen Yu is no good. He and that idiot beat up your second brother. Your uncle and eldest brother accidentally fell and got injured, and they are both in the hospital now."

Wang Mei launched into a tearful tirade, but Shen Mian, her eyes filled with impatience, immediately interrupted her:

"Shut up. Shen Ercheng is Shen Yu's second brother, not mine. I'm not from your Pear Blossom Village."

Wang Mei looked at him with disdain. This man really thinks he's a young master just because he left the big city. Wasn't he also looking for a backer for himself everywhere during the two years after Shen Guanli and his wife passed away?

At that time, Shen Mian wanted the land left by his grandparents, which required Shen Guanquan to recognize him as his son.

Wang Mei demanded that he hand over the compensation money if he moved into her house, but Shen Mian disagreed. She then went to his aunt's house, where the demand was the same.

Shen Mian was reluctant to give money, but those two families weren't fools who would raise a son for free and then expect him to inherit their property. Only Shen Mian's maternal grandmother was willing to let him live in her home without asking for a single penny.

His plan was to transfer all of his maternal grandparents' land to his own name after his maternal grandmother passed away. He figured his uncle probably hadn't been home for years and wouldn't want the land anyway.

He can rent out all those dozens of acres of land and make a living from the rent. With the compensation money he has, he can live a better life than most people.

But he didn't wait until his grandmother passed away before returning to Beijing, where he no longer cared about the small plot of land.

He didn't want to let Shen Yu have the land, so after returning to the capital, Shen Mian took the initiative to contact his uncle and asked him to go back and inherit the land, instead of giving it to outsiders.

He was determined to drive Shen Yu to the brink of despair, since Shen Yu had stolen eighteen years of his life of wealth and privilege.

Shen Mian would grit his teeth in anger every time he thought about these things. If he had grown up in the Shen family, he would definitely have been a pampered young master, proficient in all the arts, and he could have enjoyed an even better life.

Instead of what it is now, where those relatives who are clearly related to him by blood are all on Shen Yu's side and saying they want to bring Shen Yu back.

He would never let Shen Yu come back, no matter what.

Shen Mian's beautiful face gradually contorted into a grimace, the hatred in her eyes like an unyielding, thick ink.

Wang Mei on the other end of the phone was still crying and complaining about her family's difficult situation, hoping that Shen Mian could give her some money.

Shen Mian said coolly, "I told you, Shen Yu has more money than I do. It's your own incompetence that you couldn't take the money away."

Wang Mei: "But he won't give it to us. That Shen Yu is very difficult to deal with. He seems to be able to change his mind easily. Everyone in the village believes what he says."

She brought up the incident of Shen Ercheng being beaten that day again, repeating it over and over, which annoyed Shen Mian.

"If he won't give it to you, you don't know how to find a way to get it?"

Shen Mian said in a low voice, "You are his only family. If he dies, won't his assets become yours?"

Wang Mei on the other end seemed incredulous: "What, what did you say?"

Shen Mian sneered: "Aunt, you are too honest. Why can't you try a different approach? Once Shen Yu dies, all his property will be yours. Of course, I was just saying that casually, so don't take it seriously."

"Life isn't always smooth sailing. So many people die in accidents every day, is it strange that there's one more Shen Yu?" As he spoke, his expression improved a bit.

Then the conversation drifted to other things; he wanted to know if Shen Yu was having a miserable time in the countryside.

Wang Mei started talking about what happened after Shen Yu returned to the village. Their family only gave Shen Yu a mud-brick house, but Shen Yu moved to the mentally challenged man's house after only a few days.

Hearing that he wasn't doing too badly, Shen Mian clenched her fist.

At this moment, he really wished that Shen Yu would die tomorrow.

The idiot's house? Isn't that the one with the big courtyard? Shen Mian gritted her teeth, cursing Shen Yu inwardly as a despicable woman who would even deceive an idiot.

That idiot has the village chief watching over him, and his family is one of the better-off in the village. They have no worries about food or clothing, so what kind of hardship is that?

"Alright, just watch Shen Yu live a good life. He didn't even help your family when you were all hospitalized. He's an ingrate. Anyway, he's rich. Whether you can get him or not is your business."

Shen Mian hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Unable to calm her anger, she could only call Lu Jingchen for comfort.

"What's wrong, darling?" Lu Jingchen's voice was gentle.

Shen Mian liked Lu Jingchen just the way he was. When she first came to Beijing, only Lu Jingchen helped her. This handsome man was actually her fiancé. Thinking of this, Shen Mian's mood immediately improved.

"I don't know why my mom isn't answering my calls; she's even turned off her phone."

"What?" Not answering the phone might mean they're busy, but if their phone is off, that's a different story.

"What did you say to your parents? Did your mother get angry?" Lu Jingchen asked.

Shen Mian said aggrievedly, "I don't know. They didn't come to see me when I was in the hospital. You brought me here for several days, and they still didn't come to find me. They just sent some food over."

"Waaah... Ah Chen, they must still be thinking about that Shen Yu. I'm clearly their biological daughter, why do they never see me? Waaah..."

He started crying as he spoke, while Lu Jingchen was already checking flight information.
