Chapter 31: The Temptation at the Shen Family's Dinner Table
"I don't know how Xiaoyu is doing now?" In the Shen family's villa, Chen Hui was sitting on the sofa with the old lady of the Shen family, watching the news boredly.
"Oh, don't worry, Xiaoyu said it, just go out for a walk, and I'll be back soon." Shen Tang also went downstairs, and when he heard his wife's nagging, he hurriedly answered.
Shen Tang walked down the stairs to the living room on the first floor: "Mom, the project we cooperated with President Chen of Zoomlion, can you see if it can be approved." ”
Shen Tang took the plan that had been prepared early in the morning to Mrs. Shen.
"More than 20 million new equipment? That's too much! Mrs. Shen looked at the plan book, and her face was not very good-looking.
"Mom, the latest model that Chen's head office wants, you can't do it without new technical support, and buying equipment is a must." Shen Tang didn't dare to look up at Old Lady Shen, so he could only say tentatively.
"Moreover, apart from this set of equipment, there is basically no expenditure on this project." Shen Tang's tone gradually softened.
"Have you calculated the profits?" Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Tang, and there was a trace of anger in her tone.
"After all, after removing all the costs, we can have a profit of 16 million in this single order." Shen Tang swallowed his saliva.
"And, Mom, this machine is not a one-time purchase, we can still use it later." He hurriedly added.
Old Mrs. Shen's face softened slightly, but she still felt very embarrassed: "Now we don't have much cash on hand, and Mo's project has just been accepted, and it will be officially put into large-scale production next Tuesday, so we don't have so much money." ”
Shen Tang looked at Mrs. Shen's embarrassed appearance, and knew that things were still turning around: "Mom, we can't just count on the Mo family to live with a single list, Chen is always our old customer." ”
Old Lady Shen began to waver a little: "You take the plan book to Zhewen and ask him what he thinks." ”
Since Shen Yu's accident, Shen Zhewen's family has been managed by Shen Zhewen, thinking of this, Shen Tang and Chen Hui are full of unhappiness.
"Okay, Mom." As soon as Shen Tang heard that the project he had won now had to be approved by Shen Zhewen, he felt bad in his heart.
"Mom, Xiaoyu has been punished enough, see if you can let her when she comes back..."
A long roaring car interrupted Chen Hui's words.
It's Shen Xue and Mu Ran.
"You two still have the face to come back?" Chen Hui looked at the couple who entered the door arm-in-arm, and was angry.
"Why didn't we come back? It's not like we're faking pregnancies. Mu Ran looked at Chen Hui with no intention of backing down in his eyes.
"If it weren't for you, would your sister be so miserable? Shen Xue, you don't care about family affection at all. Chen Hui was glared at by Mu Ran, and her heart was a little furious, so she turned her gaze to Shen Xue on the side.
Shen Xue looked at Chen Hui's righteous and awe-inspiring face, and then thought about the word "family affection" that came out of her mouth, and couldn't help but feel very ridiculous.
"Grandma." Shen Xue was no longer willing to deal with Chen Hui, and looked directly at the unhappy old lady Shen on the side.
Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Xue with a clear conscience, and felt a little annoyed in her heart, but when she thought of her relationship with Mu Linlin, she still took a deep breath and endured it.
"Come back, let's eat here." Old Lady Shen looked at them, and the smile on her face was more ugly than crying.
"Okay! Thank you grandma! Xiaoxue and I just didn't eat~" Mu Ran immediately answered, looking at Chen Hui and Shen Tang with a smile.
Soon it was time for dinner, and the maid was busy in the kitchen, and everyone in the Shen family took their seats one after another.
"Xiaoxue, how is your cooperation with the Mo family?" Old Lady Shen's fake concern was obvious.
"Oh, it's not bad, there's nothing wrong with reviewing the first draft." Shen Xue's heart was already as cold as killing fish for ten years at RT-Mart, and she could see at a glance what Old Lady Shen meant.
"That's good, Xiaoxue, I think the company's affairs are still easier for Xiaoyu to do, Zhewen has no experience after all, can you talk to Moh, or let Xiaoyu come back to do this project." Old Lady Shen's patience only allowed her to care about Shen Xue for one sentence, and any more would reveal her stuffing.
"Grandma, I really can't control this, after all, it's Mo's business, I don't have such a big ability."
"You can't call the shots? You are very capable, if it weren't for your last time...."Chen Hui saw that Shen Xue refused to help her daughter, and hurriedly jumped out of the yin and yang weirdness. However, before she finished her words, she was stopped by Old Lady Shen with her eyes.
"How was my last time?" Shen Xue put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and looked up at Chen Hui, as if she wanted to see through the bad water in her heart.
Everyone was silent, and no one answered.
"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables." Shen Tang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately put vegetables in Chen Hui's bowl, signaling Shen Xue not to talk more.
Shen Xue looked at her father's nest and sneered at the corner of her mouth.
"I just came back and quarreled, how did grandpa teach you before, did you forget what you didn't say or sleep for?" Chen Hui saw that Chen Hui and Shen Xue were pinching again, and hurriedly came out to stop it.
Since he mentioned grandpa, he happened to fall into Shen Xue's arms.
"Of course, I haven't forgotten grandpa's teachings, when I was a child, my grandfather often told me that all affairs must be courteous to others, but if the other party has to make an inch, then find a way to hit it with one blow!" Shen Xue's voice was small, but her tone was very firm.
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and even Old Lady Shen couldn't continue to answer.
"By the way, grandma, did grandpa leave me anything else before he died, in addition to leaving me thirty percent of Shen's shares?" Shen Xue followed her grandfather's topic and asked, she looked directly at Old Madam Shen who was sitting opposite, observing her face.
When the others heard Shen Xue suddenly mention the long-deceased Old Man Shen, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"What? When you mentioned the matter of shares at this time, did you want to take advantage of Xiaoyu's absence to come back to fight for family property? "Chen Hui has two most sensitive things in her life, one is money, and the other is her daughter, Shen Xue's words touched her two minefields, no wonder she reacted so quickly.
"Don't worry, since I signed it, I won't take it back." Shen Xuepi looked at Chen Hui with a smile.
When Chen Hui heard Shen Xue's words, her heart settled down slightly.
"Grandma, I dreamed of my grandfather a few days ago, and he said that he was very unstable down there, and I felt uncomfortable." Shen Xue said as she burst into tears. Of course, dreaming of grandpa is false, but missing grandpa is indeed true.
Mu Ran hugged Shen Xue in his arms and patted her on the back to comfort her.
When Mrs. Shen heard Shen Xue mention her long-deceased husband, she was also touched in her heart.
"What did your grandfather say to you?" Her tone was much softer than before, thinking that her husband would rather entrust his dream to this granddaughter than come to meet her in a dream, I don't know if he was blaming himself for violating his last wishes and snatching the shares in Shen Xue's hand and giving them to Shen Yu.
"Grandma, grandpa said that he died unjustly, and said that I would avenge him." Shen Xue said cautiously, she watched Chen Hui's face turn from red to white, and her eyes became extremely flustered.
"What are you talking nonsense? What a death is wronged, your grandfather died suddenly of a heart attack! Chen Hui hurriedly knocked over the wine glass in her hand, she looked at the people at the table, trying to cover up her weakness in a high tone.
"Mom, I didn't mean that, but Grandpa did say these things to me in a dream." Shen Xue looked at Chen Hui and pretended to be innocent.
"So, grandma, I wonder if I can find some of my grandfather's relics to keep by my side, and then find a master to calculate them, so as to have peace of mind." Shen Xue looked at Old Lady Shen and spoke earnestly.
Everyone didn't speak, only heard Old Lady Shen's breathing getting heavier and heavier.
"Grandma, how could grandpa suddenly fall seriously ill at that time, it stands to reason that grandpa has the best personal doctor, and he won't leave so suddenly." Mu Ran also continued to play a round for his wife, and they kept testing Chen Hui's reaction.
"Yes, grandma, what did the doctor tell you when grandpa rescued you? Is Grandpa's case still at home at the time? Shen Xue and Mu Ran hurriedly talked, not allowing Chen Hui to have a chance to breathe.
"It stands to reason that grandpa won't give me a dream for no reason, and suddenly mention something like revenge, it seems that grandpa is really unstable down there." Speaking of this, Shen Xue simply burst into tears.
Shen Xue's cry upset everyone, especially Chen Hui, she didn't know whether these two people were beating up crookedly, or if they really found out something, and she was very scared.
"At that time, when your grandfather was ill, there were only Xiaohui's mother and daughter in the family, and I also received a call and went directly to the hospital." Mrs. Shen recalled the situation back then.
At that time, she was receiving people from the audit department in the company to come down for inspection, but not long after the auditors arrived, she received a call from Shen Yu, saying that the old man was dying of a heart attack.
Thinking about it all now, it's really like a dream.
"Mom, did Grandpa say anything to you before he got sick?" Shen Xue looked meaningfully at Chen Hui, who was restless.
Everyone at the table also looked in Chen Hui's direction.
"What are you looking at me for? When I was tidying up in my room, I heard a bang, and when I came out, he had already collapsed at the top of the stairs, where did he come from and say something to me! Chen Hui explained in a panic.
"Oh, I see, it seems that my mother-in-law really doesn't know anything, wife, wait for Xiaoyu to come back and ask Xiaoyu." Mu Ran deliberately accentuated Shen Yu's name.
"What can Xiaoyu know! At that time, I heard the sound of the old man falling first, and then called Xiaoyu to come out to help. Chen Hui didn't want them to pull the matter on Shen Yu again, so she had to take everything on herself.
"So, you and Xiaoyu didn't hear anything, right? I don't know why Grandpa suddenly fell down the stairs? Shen Xue looked at Chen Hui playfully, and Chen Hui's reaction was enough to show that she had an inseparable relationship with this matter.
"Shen Xue, what do you mean! You interrogate the prisoners! Of course I don't know why he fell! Chen Hui was a little annoyed and angry.
"Mom, I didn't mean that, I was just afraid that my grandfather would really have any grievances, and I, as a granddaughter, would say anything..."
"Okay, okay, what kind of noise, the child is also a piece of filial piety!" Old Lady Shen gave an order, and Chen Hui no longer refutated.
"Xiaoxue, if you want grandpa's relics, go to the company to pick them up in a few days, I have a few calligraphy and paintings left by your grandfather in my office." Mrs. Shen felt that if Shen Jin was still alive, she should be willing to give her treasure to this granddaughter he loved the most.
"Okay, Grandma." Shen Xue looked at Mrs. Shen gratefully, she was very surprised by the decision she made.
After eating, Shen Xue and Mu Ran got up to say goodbye, and the Shen family sent them to the door.
"Grandma, then I'll go, tomorrow morning, I'll go to the office to find you." Shen Xue said goodbye to Old Lady Shen.
Old Lady Shen nodded slightly in agreement.
"Grandma, if grandpa's death is really strange, will you avenge him?" Just as Shen Xue turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and asked Old Lady Shen.
"Of course, if your grandfather was really harmed by someone else, I will definitely not let the other party go." Old Madam Shen didn't have time to think about it, she answered Shen Xue affirmatively.
"What about Mom and Dad? Will you also avenge your grandfather? Shen Xue looked at Shen Tang and his wife, her eyes were very cold.
"Ahem... Of course, of course. Shen Tang's answer was very perfunctory, while Chen Hui's simply didn't say a word.
Shen Xue looked at the embarrassed husband and wife in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
On the way home, Mu Ran recalled Chen Hui's reaction just now, he was now almost certain that Chen Hui and his grandfather's death must have something to do with it, so the next thing to do was to find evidence.
"Husband, don't go home, go to Sucheng." Shen Xue suddenly thought of a very important thing, and hurriedly asked Mu Ran on the side to change direction.
"What are you doing in Sucheng?" Mu Ran was puzzled.
"Don't ask, follow my navigation." As she spoke, Shen Xue changed her mobile phone navigation destination to a city more than 100 kilometers away from Beicheng.
Although Mu Ran didn't understand it in her heart, she knew that Shen Xue must have her reasons for doing this.
The car drove in the direction of Sucheng....
