Nearly an hour later, Shen Youjin, wearing a long aqua - blue dress, slowly came into Shen Guoliang's sight.
In the sunlight, every move of hers resembled her mother by seven or eight points, but she was more charming and proud than her mother.
If her mother was the pure white gardenia in his hand, then Shen Youjin, as her daughter, was the most dazzling rose in the world.
However, there was no trace of kinship in her eyes when she looked at him. Her eyes were cold, as if she were looking at a stranger. This really annoyed him.
"Something to say?" She stood in front of his car, her back straight. "I'm very busy. Get to the point."
Shen Guoliang looked at her and said patiently, "I'm going to visit your mother. Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing this, Shen Youjin scoffed, "I don't think my mother would want you to pay homage to her. You're not qualified."
Back then, when she was at the end of her rope and begged him to help investigate her mother's cause of death, what did he say?
"Everyone has their own fate. Don't force it."
Humph! How could he have the nerve to go and pay homage now? Isn't he afraid of having nightmares at night?
"Xiaojin, everyone has their own hardships. As my daughter, don't you want to see your father happy? A child shouldn't be so selfish."
Originally, Shen Youjin was quite calm, but hearing what he said, she was immediately enraged.
"Yes, I'm just this selfish. Unlike Mr. Shen, who watched her being bullied and almost reduced to a street vagrant with his own eyes. Mr. Shen, you're so selfless! You didn't even care about your own daughter!"
Her voice was so loud that the two security guards standing guard not far away heard it. They looked at Shen Guoliang with disgust.
Tsk, how could there be such a parent? How shameless!
Since Shen Guoliang became successful, when had he ever been treated like this, especially by a young girl like Shen Youjin? His face turned red and then white.
After a while, he finally found his voice and stopped pretending.
He took out a card and held it out.
"There's two million in this card. Take it, and I'll book you a flight to Canada right away. I'll arrange everything for you there, including food, accommodation, and transportation. I'll transfer 100,000 to you every month. Don't come back to Jingdu anymore."
Shen Youjin was stunned. So this was his purpose for coming here?
Looking at the card with two million on it, a sarcastic smile curled up on her lips.
"Does Mr. Shen overestimate himself?" She looked back at the house she lived in and then asked him, "Do you think I'm short of this two million now? The earrings on me are worth more than this!"
"How can it be the same? Is any of your money clean?" Shen Guoliang immediately roared, "Shameless!"
"Is Mr. Shen's money clean?" Shen Youjin smiled, and her eyes became sharp. "I can leave, but I want the voice recorder my mother left before she jumped off the building! Give it to me, and I'll leave today!"
Hearing this, Shen Guoliang's face immediately changed. Without even thinking, he said, "Impossible!"
If he gave it, Shen Qilin would really have to go to prison!
Shen Youjin knew this would be the result, but she still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Well, there's nothing more to talk about. Mr. Shen might as well spend his money on finding a good pet communicator for his children to do some psychological counseling. Otherwise, it won't be good if they bite someone one day!"
After saying that, she was about to leave when Shen Guoliang's furious voice came from behind her, "Shen Youjin, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Otherwise, you won't get a single cent!"
Shen Youjin paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Do as you please, Mr. Shen."
She didn't believe that Shen Guoliang would dare to kidnap her and forcefully send her to Canada in broad daylight!
When she got home, looking at her mother's forever gentle eyes and eyebrows in the photo, her slender fingers couldn't help but touch the photo.
"Mom, why on earth did you fall for such a heartless man back then?"
She didn't understand. What method did Shen Guoliang use to pursue her mother and make her willing to be his mistress?
With her mother's personality, how could she do such a thing?
She was very curious, but she would never get an answer.
After waiting at home for a few days, she didn't hear from Shen Guoliang, but she received an invitation to a class reunion.
Logically speaking, when she was in school, she only had Ling Qiuqiu as a friend, and no one would inform her of such a thing.
But this time, there seemed to be an accident. A college classmate privately messaged her through an old QQ group that was rarely used. The classmate sent her the location of the class reunion and also attached the time.
She originally didn't want to go, but thinking of Ling Qiuqiu, she casually asked, "Will Ling Qiuqiu go?"
Many people in the class knew about the conflict between her and Ling Qiuqiu. When she suddenly asked this question, the other person gave an ambiguous answer.
"Not sure. I heard she recently returned to China to settle down. I've sent her an invitation, but she hasn't replied to me yet..."
Shen Youjin's heart skipped a beat. Ling Qiuqiu had returned to China to settle down. That was great.
She immediately accepted the invitation. Whether Ling Qiuqiu would go or not, she had to take a chance.
Just then, something flashed through her mind, but she didn't catch it. She just felt that she seemed to have missed something more important.
She went to the mall herself and walked around a few times, wanting to buy a gift for Ling Qiuqiu.
"Miss Shen, this silk scarf is a hot item right now. It's out of stock in other stores. It's very suitable as a gift for a friend."
"She doesn't like wearing dresses. There's nothing to match it with."
"Miss Shen, the diamonds on this watch are from the US, and the watch strap is very delicate. It's suitable for any occasion."
"She doesn't like diamonds. She likes gold."
"Miss Shen, what about this bag? All the accessories on it are made of 999 pure gold."
"..."
Shen Youjin looked around and finally chose a pure - gold bracelet.
She didn't know if Ling Qiuqiu's preferences had changed, but she still swiped her card and asked the clerk to wrap it up.
On the way back, she wasn't sure if she had misrecognized someone. She seemed to see a familiar figure.
She couldn't help but stop and looked at the woman in the crowd who was wearing a tight - fitting hip - hugging dress and had golden wavy hair. She could hardly believe it was Yun Mianmian.
After leaving Jiang Zeshen, she was now holding the arm of a middle - aged man and chatting with him with a big smile on her face.
The middle - aged man had a big belly and was very happy because of her flattery. He readily bought her a bag.
Shen Youjin shook her head. If Jiang Zeshen knew that Yun Mianmian was doing such things with the face of his first love, Yun Mianmian probably wouldn't be able to stay in Jingdu anymore.
But this wasn't her concern. She turned around and left the mall with the bag in her hand.
Looking at her graceful back, Yun Mianmian, who had been smiling happily at the bag just now, immediately pulled a long face.
Why could Shen Youjin live so freely? Men from the five major families were all around her.
She could buy whatever she wanted, while she had to flatter this old man here to make him happy?
"What's wrong, baby?" The middle - aged man beside her looked at her like this and couldn't help being a little curious. "Don't you like it?"
Hearing this, Yun Mianmian came to her senses and immediately showed a wronged expression and shook her head. "Husband, I just remembered something sad and felt a little sad. It's okay. I'll be fine soon."
"Did someone bully you? I'll go find someone to deal with her right now!" Seeing his mistress sad, the middle - aged man immediately looked fierce. "I'd like to see who dares to bully my Lin Guodong's woman!"
