Chapter 12: Appearing in person
Shen Lin, who left the banquet and returned to the studio to prepare, casually threw the birthday invitation on the table in the studio.
Over the next few days, she and her team have been working on concepts for new products.
The reason why Shen Lin is like this is not because she doesn't care about the fighting opportunity given by Shen Ziyan this time, but because she clearly knows that her appearance has dealt a blow to the Shen family. For something that has been planned for a long time, it needs to be done step by step.
Therefore, Shen Lin felt that the only thing that needed to be painstakingly done now was the studio that cooperated with the Yan Group.
Since that time when Yan Wenxuan fell asleep playing in Shen Lin's studio, forcing Shen Lin to follow Yan Jingzhe home, Yan Jingzhe has imposed strict restrictions on the number of times Yan Wenxuan can come to Shen Lin's studio.
Although Yan Wenxuan was strongly opposed at first, he could only go by meeting his beautiful aunt on weekends and accepting his father's company under strict control of game time.
However, Yan Jingzhe gave a more severe threat, such as "never see her".
Therefore, in the end, President Yan Xiao succumbed to President Yan Da's coercion.
Early in the morning, Yan Wenxuan was sent to Shen Lin's studio by the driver Lao Wu.
Compared to ordinary children, Yan Wenxuan is really smart. If you're going to play the game, he'll have fun with you. If you're busy with work, he'll watch quietly and enjoy it.
Shen Lin's favorite is him.
For such a child, Shen Lin can't be completely ignored, so after working for a while, she will relax and play with him for a while, and they get along very well.
It wasn't until around five o'clock in the afternoon that President Yan Da walked in with a strong cold and hard male hormone aura.
Although Yan Jingzhe's decision is akin to dictatorship, children are children, and their emotions come and go quickly.
Especially after playing alone with Shen Lin all morning, Yan Wenxuan rushed to Yan Jingzhe as usual and gave him a strong hug.
"Have fun?"
As usual, Yan Jingzhe was concerned and considerate, and waited for Yan Wenxuan to nod with satisfaction before looking at Shen Lin.
Almost instinctively observing details, Yan Jingzhe looked at Shen Lin, and his eyes suddenly noticed Shen Aoming's 60th birthday invitation, which was placed on the table next to him by Shen Lin.
He had seen the invitation, but unfortunately he didn't care at all.
He didn't like Shen Aoming at all.
"Now, your connections in the city have reached this point?"
Yan Jingzhe hugged Yan Wenxuan, walked to the table where the invitation card was placed, and then picked it up to check the contents.
Shen Lin was not in a hurry when she heard this, and said slowly:
"This is an invitation for my dad's 60th birthday."
Shen Lin put his hand on the workbench in front of him and leaned forward in the direction of Yan Jingzhe,
"Didn't President Yan Da specifically investigate the details of the other party before working with others? Should I say is it your negligence or your trust in me? ”
Shen Lin smiled at Yan Jingzhe.
"I thought you and Shen Aoming's stupid and ugly illegitimate daughter shared the same name, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Throwing the invitation aside, Yan Jingzhe looked at Shen Lin with a little sarcasm.
If she usually argued with Yan Jingzhe, Shen Lin would not necessarily back down, let alone this kind of thing involving her previous privacy.
It's just that I don't know what's going on today, Shen Lin is not only not angry at all, on the contrary, she is very frank and doesn't seem to care too much.
"You're right, I'm indeed a notorious illegitimate daughter."
Yan Jingzhe heard Shen Lin's words that he didn't refute at all, and he looked at her blankly for a long time.
Yan Wenxuan, who was in the crook of his arm, couldn't help but correct his father's statement, because it was obvious that he had misunderstood Shen Lin.
"Dad, why are you saying that? Auntie is a good person! ”
Shen Lin generously admitted that Yan Jingzhe didn't know what to say in the first place, and when he heard his son say this again, he didn't know how to answer for a while, as if all the evil originated from him.
The air was silent for a long time, and Shen Lin rarely saw Yan Jingzhe being slapped in the face, but he was actually very happy in his heart. However, she didn't want to embarrass him because of her and Xuan Xuan's words, so she took the initiative to ease the current situation.
"Xuanxuan, it's not your daddy's fault. It's just a rumor, your dad didn't know Auntie before, so naturally he can only hear Auntie's story from other people's mouths, people are like this. ”
When the child heard this, he didn't buy it, a pair of bright eyes looked at Shen Lin seriously, and his little head shook twice.
"No, Xuan Xuan won't know about Auntie from other people's mouths. People are different. You have to find out for yourself to find out what it really looks like. Yan Wenxuan opened a pair of short arms.
"Comfort, hug."
Shen Lin was stunned by Yan Wenxuan's actions and smiled helplessly. She stepped forward and was comforted and hugged by Yan Wenxuan's little doll.
Yan Jingzhe, who was holding Yan Wenxuan, looked at such a scene and suddenly felt that he had learned something from them.
After so many years as the president of the group, Yan Jingzhe never felt that he could learn anything from anyone, but today, he has learned the most basic truth: don't listen to rumors.
"I'm sorry."
"What?" Shen Lin opened her eyes and looked at Yan Jingzhe, only to find that Yan Jingzhe was just looking at her as usual, and her thin lips never seemed to open.
I'm sorry, this may be my own hallucination. Shen Lin comforted her heart.
Probably out of apology for Yan Wenxuan and Shen Lin, Yan Jingzhe did not deliberately control Yan Wenxuan during the afternoon playtime, so the child naturally fell asleep again in Shen Lin's studio.
However, this time, Yan Jingzhe took the initiative to take on the responsibility of holding his son, for fear that this little thing would not be able to come out of Shen Lin's arms.
Before leaving, Yan Jingzhe had been looking at Shen Lin. Although he still looked calm, Shen Lin could feel as if he wanted to say something in his eyes.
"Do you want to ask the truth? The truth about what happened back then? ”
Shen Lin looked at Yan Jingzhe and asked generously.
Yan Jingzhe is silent.
Shen Lin blinked his big eyes that were the same as Yan Wenxuan's, and there was a twinkle of stars in them: "This is true, all this is true." If you don't believe me, my sister has another video. ”
"No, I don't."
Yan Jingzhe ended the topic, picked up Yan Wenxuan, turned around and walked out of the studio.
Looking at the back of Yan Jingzhe who was leaving, Shen Lin suddenly smiled like a fox, although cunning but full of sadness.
She had never really let go of those things in the past, so she stayed in the UK, not only to improve herself, but also to escape in another way, but if the scar wasn't exposed, wasn't it?
In the end, we should only be able to face it.
Now, this is just the beginning of the first step.
Those who are wounded are not afraid of being salted until they themselves expose the wound and press hard to bleed.
On June 18, Shen Aoming was 60 years old.
There are still three days left for the studio to officially promote in front of the media.
In the Shen family's villa, almost all the contacts who have business dealings with the Shen family, or government leaders, are standing. Shen Ziyan shuttled through the crowd in place of her father, looking like a fish in water.
In fact, in the process of communicating with people, Shen Ziyan was also carefully observing whether Shen Lin was here.
However, until Shen Aoming's birthday cake was cut at the end of the birthday banquet, Shen Lin did not appear. Shen Ziyan felt ashamed that Shen Lin confessed her guilt, so she had to hide.
According to Shen Ziyan's arrangement, all the lights in the villa are on, and with a bang, all the lights will dim on the hour.
The five-story birthday cake, filled with candles, is pushed out of the most inconspicuous room in the corner.
In the light of the candlelight, the guests gradually saw the face of the woman pushing the cake cart clearly.
It was a woman in a sky-blue strap dress, with a slender figure and an elegant temperament, bright eyes with a striking tear mole under the corner of the eye.
Shen Lin didn't care about the people who were amazed by her, but just firmly locked Shen Ziyan and Shen Aoming and his wife who looked surprised.
Didn't expect her to come? But here she is.
Early in the morning, Shen Lin handed over the rest of the work in the studio to the assistant, took the invitation given to her by Shen Ziyan, and came to the Shen family villa, which was busy preparing for the banquet.
She is currently wearing a sky blue dress with shoulder straps that Shen Aoming bought for her on her 18th birthday, and that year, Shen Ziyan won a Mercedes-Benz trot.
"Happy 60th birthday, Dad!"
Shen Lin had a beautiful fox face, smiling warmly and brightly, but Shen Aoming and his wife and Shen Ziyan felt a trace of coldness and coolness in the warmth.
The three men stood there almost at the same time, without any movement.
Shen Lin didn't feel embarrassed by this, and he didn't pause. Instead, she naturally picked up the cake knife beside her, walked up to Shen Aoming, and gently handed it over, "Dad, cut the cake." ”
Shen Aoming's wife, Wang Qin, looked at Shen Lin, still as upset as she was then.
Shen Lin annoys her just as much as her mother.
For Shen Lin, the greatest tolerance she can give is a short-term upbringing.
Wang Qin raised his feet and planned to walk over and ask Shen Lin why he came back? actually dared to appear in the Shen family's house, but as soon as she walked out a small step, she was stopped by Shen Aoming.
Shen Aoming looked at Shen Lin's smiling face and was stunned for a while. Maybe it's because of her age, maybe it's Shen Lin's current appearance, too much like her dead mother.
Especially the coming-of-age gift he gave Shen Lin, the sky blue shoulder dress as a birthday gift, which was worn by Shen Lin's mother when she met him for the first time.
"Daddy?"
Shen Lin was still smiling, looking at Shen Aoming, and when her big eyes smiled, they bent into the shape of a moon's buds, like a little fox.
At that moment, Shen Aoming felt the intimacy and tenderness from her that he had never felt before.
This is not Shen Lin that Shen Aoming understands.
Shen Aoming has always known that his daughter is not simple.
From the day she was brought back to the Shen family by him, she hated him and this family. Although she seems to be smart and peaceful on the surface, she is full of hatred for him because of her mother.
So Shen Aoming doesn't like this daughter.
