Neither of us spoke, Shen Ting's eyebrows were tired, he looked at a table lamp not far away in a daze, after a long time, he suddenly asked, "How old am I this year." ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "Seventy-one." ”

He said, "Oh. It turns out that I am seventy-one. ”

I got up and said, "I'll serve you some chicken soup." ”

He didn't speak, I handed him the soup, he also took it, and finally he drank all the soup in the thermos cup, and after drinking, he touched his mouth with some unfinished thinking, and he said bluntly: "It's delicious." ”

I said, "I'll give you back the stew tomorrow." ”

"It would be nice if it was a little more salty," he said. ”

I said, "When you're well, just salty, the doctor says you don't have soup right now." ”

Shen Ting said: "Okay, when I'm ready, it's not too late to drink again." ”

Shen Ting's eyelids pulled down a little weakly, I knew that he was tired, and as soon as he was helped to lie down, the voice of the third aunt's wife came from outside the door. She said with anticipation in her tone: "Master, I personally stewed some chicken soup for you and sent it over." ”

He wanted to see Shen Ting, but Shen Ting responded weakly: "Go back, I'm tired." "Asian table tennis is dead.

What else did the third lady want to say, Shen Ting glanced at me and motioned for me to send the eldest lady away, I immediately understood what he meant, nodded, and turned around to open the door of the ward. The third lady stood outside the door and looked at the door that was opened, but she didn't expect that it would be me who would open the door, her face immediately changed, and she said, "Master." ”

I said, "The old man is tired and has rested." ”

The third lady said, "Why are you here?" I can't get in? ”

I said, "Please come and see it tomorrow." ”

The third lady didn't care about my words at all. Trying to force your way into the ward. And my strength itself is not as strong as hers, and I was pushed away by the third wife in a few casual strokes, and when she was about to go in, Shen Ting, who was lying on the bed, said, "Do you know why I don't see you?" ”

The third lady immediately paused, and then Shen Ting said, "You should think about it." ”

Shen Ting's words made the third wife's face pale, she stood there with a thermos cup in her hand for a long time, and when there was no more Shen Ting's voice in the room, she suddenly didn't say a word. He turned around and left the door of the ward.

After the third aunt left, I turned around and went back to the ward, Shen Ting was already lying there with a peaceful expression at this time, I walked over, pulled the quilt for him, dimmed the light a little, patted his hand lightly on his chest, and whispered: "Master, I am here to accompany you." ”

Before he was about to fall asleep, I said, "Sir, I've always wanted to ask you a question. ”

He didn't fall asleep because he answered me, but his voice was extremely weak.

I stopped the slapping in my hand, slowly approached him, and asked in his ear, "Jiang Meirong, did you kill you?" ”

Shen Ting's body shook suddenly, the room was deadly silent, he even breathed a lot weaker, he opened his eyes, and my face was close to him, I stared at his eyes and asked with a smile: "Is it?" ”

Two tears suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes, sliding down the wrinkles on his face little by little, and then, dripping on the back of my hand, the temperature of the tears was very hot, he didn't answer me, but he had already given me the answer, I looked at him expressionlessly, and then I continued to pat him on the chest and said, "Sleep." ”

Shen Ting didn't say anything more, after closing his eyes, he lay there and never moved again, I accompanied him until twelve o'clock in the evening, because I couldn't resist the attack of sleepiness, so I called the nurse to pay more attention and left the hospital.

The next morning, Assistant Zhu took me out of Shen's house, and personally drove me to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

When I was holding the red notebook in my hand, Assistant Zhu said beside me, "Congratulations." ”

I put the notebook in my bag and said with a smile: "No, I will trouble Assistant Zhu a lot in the future." ”

"It's my job," he said. ”

I smiled, didn't say anything, and walked towards the door, Assistant Zhu followed me, and when I arrived outside, he opened the car door for me with great respect, and I bent over and sat in as it should be.

On the day of applying for the marriage certificate, I didn't go to the hospital to see Shen Ting, because the second wife accompanied him in the hospital, and it seemed that I stayed at Shen's house for a day.

At night I pressed the two marriage certificates on my chest, and I had no dreams all night, and suddenly I felt that I had slept very peacefully, and at about six o'clock, I was woken up by a knock on the door, and after opening my eyes, I asked the door, "Who?" ”

Outside the door was the voice of the servant, and when she just opened her mouth to call Mrs., I felt a bad premonition, and sure enough, the next second she was full of choked words and said: "Get up quickly, there is news from the hospital that the master is dying, let you hurry over." ”

When I heard this, my hands shook, and soon there were footsteps outside the door one after another, followed by the sharp voice of the third wife, even through the door, I could hear the panic and anxiety in her voice, she said, "What? When is the matter! The master was fine yesterday, why is it like this all of a sudden! ”

After she said this, her voice paused slightly, and then urged: "Quick, send me to the hospital, I want to see my master." ”

There was a rush of footsteps, and there was a jumble of footsteps of varying severity on the wooden staircase.

I came back to my senses, sat up from the warm bed, and unhurriedly picked up the clothes on the hanger and put them on one by one, but when I saw the wind outside the window, I felt that it would be very cold, so I went to the cabinet and took a black coat and wrapped a scarf.

When I opened the door, the servant at the door did not leave, but was still standing there waiting for me, and when she saw that I was all ready in the door, she cried and urged me, "Madam, go quickly, the car downstairs is ready for you." ”

I hummed, didn't say anything, turned around and walked downstairs, I just arrived at the gate, the third aunt's car quickly drove away in the gray morning fog, I also bent over and sat in, the driver drove the car out of Shen's house, in the direction of the hospital.

When I arrived at the door of Shen Ting's ward, there were already a lot of people around, Shen Boteng's second wife, Shen Ting's assistant Zhu Wen, and the third aunt's wife were all onlookers at the door.

His movement attracted the attention of Shen Boteng on the side, and he glanced at us slightly.

When Assistant Zhu arrived in front of me, he whispered, "After that, you stand at the door and don't move, and act according to my eyes." ”

I glanced at Shen Boteng, who was looking over from the crowd, and was a little absent-minded, Assistant Zhu saw the fear in my eyes, and his body suddenly moved, directly blocking Shen Boteng's vision of looking at us, and he said: "Since you have taken this step, don't be afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in the back, do you think you really don't need to pay something to have this qiē?" ”

I said, "I'm not afraid. ”

Assistant Zhu said: "It's good that you're not afraid. ”

After he finished speaking, he told me, "Wait at the door." ”

I nodded, Assistant Zhu moved away from me, turned around and continued to walk towards the door of the ward, facing Shen Boteng's slightly speculative eyes, he smiled back at him frankly, after Shen Boteng came into contact with his sight, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, removed from Assistant Zhu's face, and looked at me coldly, just a glance, and soon, he looked away, and his gaze continued to fall on the closed ward door.

My neck was a little stiff, but in the end, I walked forward with my head held high, and I kept telling myself in my heart that Liang Sheng, from today onwards, everything will be different.

Soon, the door of the ward was opened, and the people who came out were two attending doctors, plus three nurses, when they arrived at the door, the third and second wives anxiously surrounded Shen Ting and asked how Shen Ting was, one of the doctors took off his mask, his face was not very good, for the expectant eyes of the third wife and the second wife, he finally just sighed heavily and said: "Chairman Shen said that he wants all of you to go in, and there is something to announce to you." ”

What this sentence meant, everyone present heard it, and the third lady suddenly pushed the person in front of her away, cried and shouted a word of master, and rushed in.

Immediately afterwards, the second wife and Shen Boteng entered the ward one after another, Zhu Wen looked at me who was still standing there stupidly, and I immediately moved my sluggish body and followed them into Shen Ting's ward.

In the ward, not only Shen Ting's lawyer Jiang Hua, but also some of Shen's senior executives and shareholders were all standing by Shen Ting's bedside and waiting, while Shen Ting was lying on the bed dying, he couldn't speak, at most he could only dominate the lawyer with his eyes.

The lawyer received Shen Ting's eyes, so he turned around and took a copy of the text from the bedside table, he looked at everyone who was around the room, and finally his eyes fell on me, but soon, he lowered his head and read out Shen Ting's will distribution issue, Shen Ting lay there breathing heavily and listened.

Everyone was breathing, and only Jiang Hua's voice was heard in the whole ward, and when he announced that he was finished, he closed the text in his hand, looked at all of us and said: "This is assigned by Chairman Shen when he is sober, and I hope everyone can obey and abide by Chairman Shen's last wishes." ”

After listening to Shen Ting's doctor's advice, everyone did not speak, and the atmosphere in the ward was particularly depressing.

In this silence, Shen Ting, who was dying, suddenly felt a little refreshed, and actually raised his face to find something in the crowd, his eyes roamed around everyone's faces, and finally, he looked directly at the door of the ward through Shen Ting, the third aunt's wife, and everyone cooperated with his gaze to retreat to both sides, and looked at the door of the ward together.

But there was nothing at the door, but Shen Ting smiled, and he said, "Pei Rong, you are finally willing to come to see me......"

After he said this, just like that, he smiled and willingly lay down on the bed, and then, there was no breath.

The second wife, who had been standing there without a sound, knelt heavily on the ground at the same time at the moment when Shen Ting fell, she still didn't have much expression on her face, but she said something extremely resentful, she said: "You can't forget her until you die, what about us?" ”

There was a dead silence.

The second wife's body shook a few times, and then she sat on the ground, her face was suddenly shocked, and she said with a sad smile: "It's okay, I finally don't have to be Jiang Meirong anymore." ”

How much relief and resentment was contained in that sentence, but in the end, it was just her last sigh that dissolved.

Immediately afterwards, the third wife rushed to Shen Ting like crazy, she cried and shook Shen Ting's body, and called out several words to the master, but at this time, Shen Ting had already stopped breathing, and his body was lying there straight, and there was no reaction or response.

The third lady cried as if the whole room was going to tremble with her voice, the doctor stood aside and watched for a while, even the rescue means were saved, after a long while, he walked in from the crowd, someone pulled the third wife away, the doctors checked Shen Ting's breathing plus his heartbeat, after the examination, he shook his head, and said very regretfully: "Chairman Shen, I have gone to ......"

In the ward, there was a whimper, Shen Boteng did not cry, but stared at Shen Ting's corpse with deep eyes, crying, all of them followed Shen Ting's subordinates and shareholders, as for how much sincerity was in the cry, it was impossible to know.

At this moment, Shen Ting's assistant Zhu Wen stood up from the crowd at the right time, stood in a very eye-catching position, and said to everyone: "From today onwards, the fourth wife, Liang Sheng, will get 10% of the shares allocated to her by Chairman Shen, and Miss Liang will also inherit Mr. Shen's obvious stocks and funds, and will inherit Chairman Shen's position after Chairman Shen's posterity is properly handled!" When he said this, he paused, then looked sideways at Shen Boteng and said: "In the days to come, Chairman Shen appointed Mr. Shen Boteng as the executive president to assist Miss Liang, and Mr. Shen Bowen from deputy general manager to general manager, which is the unanimous decision of Chairman Shen and the board of directors, and I hope everyone can fully cooperate." ”

As soon as Assistant Zhu's words came out, the crying in the ward weakened, and everyone looked at Assistant Zhu, but Assistant Zhu didn't look at them, but turned his eyes to me, I walked towards him little by little from his gaze, and finally stood beside Assistant Zhu, saluted the shareholders of the Shen Group with red eyes, and saluted the direction of the third wife and them, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Since the master has passed away, I hope everyone will mourn, the Shen family is the hard work of the master in this life, no matter who inherits, I hope that everyone can continue to work together to assist Shen, Shen is the master, the master is the Shen, I hope everyone can continue his bloodline, in the future, I will also meet with you as the executive chairman, there are shortcomings, I hope everyone can give more advice, and make progress together, thank you from the bottom of my heart, so many years of dedication to the Shen family. ”

I bowed heavily again and said, "Thank you." ”

Everyone stood there and didn't move, the atmosphere was a little awkward, no one came forward to say, I always kept my stiff waist and bowed there, fortunately, in the end, several important shareholders of the Shen Group came out, immediately came over to support me and said, let me not be so polite, and also said that the Shen family is also their responsibility, this qiē, all of them are their business, and I hope that I will take care of it more in the future.

Just as I was greeting the shareholders of the Shen family, the third aunt who had stopped crying suddenly pushed the shareholders in front of me hard, and when I went to see her, she suddenly gave me a slap, this slap was extremely crisp, and the whole ward echoed, and the third aunt pointed at me and said, "Slut!" It must be you, a slut, who gave the master a ** drug in the back, how could the Shen family hand it over to you! You're just a fourth aunt's wife who doesn't know anything, where did you get the courage to dare to take over the Shen family? The two sons of the master, Shen Bowen and Shen Boteng, are still there! Shen's where you are in charge! And this inheritance is not fair! I was the first to disagree! ”

I was dazzled by the slap of the eldest lady, and it took a long time to stabilize my mind, and just wanted to say something, Zhu Wen stood up and said to the third aunt: "Third wife, the property is the personal income of the master, who he wants to distribute it to, it is his own will, we have no right to interfere, and if you feel unconvinced, Lawyer Jiang is behind, you can go to him to learn about the relevant situation, the will has the signature and palm print of the lord and was announced in front of so many shareholders when the lord is sober, is there any fake?" ”

The third lady said, "How can it be fake! Who is she? In the final analysis, he is a nameless and pointless person, and the main wife of the Shen family is only the eldest wife Rong Xin, although the eldest wife finally divorced the master, and it is the turn of the second wife, where does the fourth wife have the qualifications to bear this qiē? ”

Zhu Wen smiled faintly and didn't speak, but turned to me and asked, "Madam, did you bring your things?" ”

I knew what Zhu Wen was asking, so I nodded, took out two red things from my bag, and Zhu Wen opened the two red booklets, held them up in the eyes of everyone and said: "This is the marriage certificate of the master and Miss Liang, the two have registered as husband and wife at ten o'clock in the morning yesterday, that is, the lord's wife, I hope you will take a good look." ”

When the third lady saw the red marriage certificate, her face suddenly turned pale, and she shook her finger and pointed at me and said, "You...... You ......" she combed many times, but she was never able to utter a complete sentence.

Zhu Wen no longer cared about the third wife's questioning, but said to Lawyer Jiang behind him: "I'm afraid that some people don't hear clearly, Lawyer Jiang, I bother you to say it again." ”

Jiang Hua nodded and said, "Okay." ”

picked up the text again, and repeated it again according to the will written by Shen Ting, and the content was very long.

Everyone listened patiently, trying to discern the flaws in the will, and in the process, I just stood there with great calm, staring straight ahead, and I ignored the piercing gaze from the side.

After the lawyer finally finished repeating, he asked everyone if they still had any objections, the lawyer first looked at the second wife, and the wife was silent, and the lawyer looked at Shen Boteng, Shen Boteng's expressionless face, squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't have any objections." He glanced sideways at the second wife and said, "Of course, my mother will not have any objections. ”

When the lawyer heard Shen Boteng say this, he looked at the third wife again and asked, "What about you?" ”

The third lady sneered and said, "Is it still useful if I have objections?" You've taken advantage of all the advantages! The lord is dead now! All of them are dead without proof! ”

The lawyer said, "So that means you still have objections?" ”

The third lady did not speak, and her face was obviously very dissatisfied.

The lawyer said: "If you still have an objection, then please file it later, and if the objection is valid, we will reorganize it." ”

After the lawyer finished speaking, he looked at me again and asked, "What about you, Mrs. Four?" ”

I covered my face and whispered, "No objections." ”

The lawyer said: "Okay, since only the third wife has objections, and Mr. Shen Bowen is not present, and the rest are not there any problems, then the next will be Chairman Shen's posterity, after all, the deceased is the greatest, as for the distribution of property in the future, I will deal with it one after another, if the third wife feels that the distribution of property is unfair, or there is a problem, she can apply to the court to appeal." ”

After the lawyer finished speaking, he cleaned up the text on the table, nodded to me and Assistant Zhu, and left the ward, and Shen Ting's body was finally confirmed dead two hours later, and was pushed into the morgue, and Shen Boteng took people to deal with Shen Ting's funeral.

My third wife and second wife were sent back to Shen's house by the driver, of course, we left by car in batches, and Zhu Wen always followed me during this period.

I don't know what storms will be in the future, a Shen Bowen has not come back yet, and it is estimated that there will be many things to toss in the future.

After we all returned to Shen's house, the third wife rushed up and wanted to quarrel with me like a shrew, I don't have any time to quarrel with people like her now, so I quickly entered my room and shut her out directly, the third wife seemed to be half excited, kept knocking on my door and shouting outside, I didn't believe that Shen Ting would hand over the company to me, and asked me what kind of sweat pills I gave him.

I always sat in the room and kept silent, and she said outside that she would not give up like this, and said that during Shen Ting's hospitalization, I disappeared without a trace, and I didn't even touch the bedside, it was she who couldn't sleep all day and night to take care of Shen Ting, but I didn't expect that in the end, she was the one who got the least things.

She said that she followed Shen Ting at the age of twenty, and has been following her in her thirties and almost forty years now, but she didn't expect it to end like this, she was crying and screaming outside, and when she was emotional, she kicked the door with her foot, and the Shen family couldn't be quiet that day, all of them were the scolding of the third wife.

I feel like even my scalp is numb.

Until the afternoon, the third wife was tired, so she also went downstairs to rest, until the evening, Shen Ting, who went out to deal with things, came to Shen's house, at that time, all of us happened to eat in the restaurant, Shen Boteng walked in, the servant quickly went to pick up his coat, after the coat was hung up, he walked straight to the dining table, and the servant who followed him asked him if he had eaten, Shen Boteng stood at the table and saw the food on the table, so he said to the servant: "Add one." ”

The servant understood that he had not yet eaten dinner, so he quickly went to the kitchen and got a new set of utensils, and he sat down right across from me.

As soon as my hand on the spoon stiffened, I didn't see his gaze, and continued to use my dinner, Shen Boteng leaned back on the chair and looked at me lazily for a long time, he straightened up, picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table, and used the same meal.

There were only me, the second wife and Shen Boteng on the table, the three of them ate silently, the second wife didn't eat much, she ate a few bites, then put down the bowl in her hand and said, "You eat slowly." ”

When the second wife got up to leave, leaving only me and Shen Boteng, I put down the bowl in my hand and said, "You can eat slowly." As soon as I wanted to get up, Shen Boteng on the other side said, "Sit down." ”

After a pause in my body movements, Shen Boteng put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at me, and said with a smile: "What are you hiding, will I still eat you?" ”

There was a gentle smile on his face, as if nothing had happened, of course, since I had already taken this step, I naturally didn't need to be afraid of him, so I turned my face to him and smiled softly and said, "What am I afraid of." I sat down across from him again.

Shen Boteng smiled and said, "It's true that you shouldn't be afraid of me, especially now." ”

After he said this, he continued to pick up the ebony chopsticks, very slowly and with good cultivation and eating, I sat across from me, and kept watching him eat, he didn't eat too much, after enough time, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, I looked at me and asked, "I need an explanation." ”

I said, "Explain? ”

I smiled and shook my head and said, "No explanation. ”

He held out his hand to me and said, "Bring it to me." ”

I said, "Something." ”

He said: "Marriage certificate. ”

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I smiled and said, "I didn't bring it." ”

Shen Boteng said, "Go upstairs and get it." ”

I sat across from him, and finally got up from my chair and went upstairs to get the marriage certificate as he said, and when I took it from the room, I handed it to him, and when he got it, I continued to turn around and sit across from him.

Shen Boteng took the two marriage certificates in his hand and looked at them carefully, as if he was checking the text, he looked at them carefully for a long time, until he confirmed that they were true, he put down the things in his hand, looked at me and said, "It seems that I will call you a little mother in the future?" ”

I said, "No, just call it as usual." ”

Shen Boteng said: "What do you plan to do in the future?" ”

I didn't expect Shen Boteng to talk to me about this matter so calmly, I thought he would be furious, his abnormal feelings made me a little unable to react, but I still replied calmly: "I will go whatever they arrange." ”

When Shen Boteng heard these two words, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Who are they?" ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "Board." ”

Shen Boteng snorted and said, "It's time to listen to the board of directors." ”

I sat straight across from him, although there was no expression on my face, but the hand under the dining table was already tangled, full of sweat, in the end, my fear of Shen Boteng came from my bones.

Seeing Shen Boteng's silent appearance, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is a good thing, after taking charge of the Shen family, I will do my best to assist you, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

If I believe that he is true, then I am stupid enough, but since he said such a sincere sentence, I responded with a smile: "I don't understand any of these things, and I will ask you more in the future." ”

Shen Boteng picked up the water glass on the side, took a sip and said, "Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me, and I can teach you." ”

I said, "Thank you." ”

He said, "No, we have nothing to do with each other." ”

After he drank the glass of water in his hand, he took the crystal cup in his hand and played with it, and after a long time, he said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I will go first." ”

After he said this, he put down the glass of water in his hand, got up from the chair, and the servant next to him immediately took the coat off the hanger, he took it casually, put it in his hand and dressed himself, he buttoned a suit button on his chest and said, "Congratulations." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked away from me with an indifferent face, and walked out of the door, when he arrived at the car, the driver immediately opened the door, he bent over and sat in, the door was closed, the car started the engine, and soon, he drove out of Shen's house.

After he left, finally, I breathed a sigh of relief.
