Shen Zhongming couldn’t get enough of the two little ones, staying at the mansion and playing with them until nine o’clock in the evening before he left.
Shen Cheng personally drove him back. When she stepped into the Shen Family’s gate, she couldn’t help but feel sentintal.
A perfectly good family, now completely dispersed.
The downfall of the two brothers, Shen Bo and Shen Yuan, was perhaps really none of her business.
The bla lies solely in people’s excessive greed.
The grandfather had said while he was alive that his inheritance would be fairly distributed among the family mbers after his death.
And the right to succession, he would only pass on to the person he deed fit.
The person he deed fit wasn’t about having great abilities or skill, but about being true to oneself, not fighting, not scrambling for more, not being greedy, that’s all.
Thus, in the end, she and her brother received the right to succession.
It was also for this reason that the rest of the Shen Family couldn’t accept it, thinking that the division of inheritance was unfair, and so they harbored evil intentions.
Not only did they destroy the will, but they also made an attempt on Shen Cheng and her family’s lives.
Shen Cheng went upstairs and pushed open the door to the room that once belonged to her; the layout and decorations inside were still the sa as before.
She could no longer rember how many years it had been since she last returned.
Nor could she clearly recall how many * secret nights she had spent hiding.
Standing by the window, she looked at the large patch of peonies planted in the backyard, blooming splendidly.
She vaguely rembered the tis when she was young, helping her grandfather fertilize those peonies; back then, she was naïve and lived happily.
But then, everything changed.
Greed and desire ruined a perfectly good family.
Shen Yuan has been involved in money laundering and has been in jail for several months now, while Shen Bo, dealing in drugs and smuggling arms, ended up with the sa fate, likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Girl,"
Shen Cheng didn’t know when Shen Zhongming had co in; he stood behind her and called out softly.
Shen Cheng responded with a hum, but did not turn around, still looking out of the window.
"The police have found out that the arson case from years ago was related to Shen Ming. That is to say, your mother was burned to death by the fire he set," Shen Zhongming said heavily, "He was not the mastermind, but he was the assassin. The court’s verdict is in; he’s been sentenced to life without parole."
Hearing this, Shen Cheng lightly curled her lips into a smile, "He got what he deserved."
They did not hesitate to murder and set fires in their strive for succession rights and the Shen Family’s fortune.
Such inhuman people only deserve to be locked up in prison.
She turned her head to look at Shen Zhongming and asked, "What about Shen Hua?"
Shen Zhongming fell silent for a mont, his brow deeply furrowed, "Her husband cheated on her. She couldn’t handle the shock and went mad. Now she’s been admitted to the psychiatric sanatorium, together with her mother."
"Going mad is for the best." Shen Cheng smiled, her smile tinged with an indescribable bitterness, "Mad, she’ll forget everything, forget the heinous things her family did, forget her family mbers rotting in prison, forget her identity, forget who she is..."
After staying at the Shen Family’s for dinner, Shen Cheng and Shen Zhongming together went to Shen Group.
A few months ago, Shi Yu acquired Shen Group and handed the company over to Shen Zhongming to manage. Whether it’s profiting or losing money, he doesn’t interfere at all.
Moreover, he has publicly declared that the company was a gift to Shen Zhongming, even if it loses money to the point of being nothing but an empty shell, it doesn’t matter.
That said, Shen Zhongming is still very serious about his work, personally dealing with matters big and small.
In just a few months, he has increased the company’s turnover by three points.
