Chapter 944: Shen Yuanqi’s selfishness
On the bed, Shen Yuanqi’s mouth was half-open, and his turbid eyes were fixed on Xia Ning. He wanted to say something, but his voice was very soft and could not be heard clearly.
Shen Tianlang put his ear to his mouth and said,””Grandpa, what do you want to say? I’m listening.”
“I want to … Talk to … Ke alone.” Shen Yuanqi said in a low voice.
Shen Tianlang knew that Shen Yuanqi wanted to see Xia Ning mostly because of Xia yunning, and most of the things he wanted to talk to her about were related to Xia yunning, so he also understood Shen Yuanqi’s meaning.
As an elder, he could not admit his past mistakes in front of the younger generation.
He nodded and said,”okay, it’s time for lunch. I’ll get you some food.” He then stood up and said to Xia Ning,”Grandpa wants to speak to you in private. Remember to call me if you need anything.”
Xia Ning nodded and Shen Tianlang left.
The door closed, and the room instantly became quiet. Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi on the bed and said nothing. She had nothing to say to him, and she came today because of Shen Tianlang. At the same time, she wanted to see what he was up to.
Shen Yuanqi’s eyes moved slightly and his gaze was fixed on Xia Ning. Seeing that she didn’t speak, he finally spoke first,”Xiao Ke …”
His voice was a little low and hoa.r.s.e. It wasn’t loud, but it definitely wasn’t as sick as Shen Tianlang had thought. He seemed to be in good spirits.
Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi with a sneer in her eyes. So this was a scam. He lied to Shen Tianlang, and Shen Tianlang naturally lied to her.
“Old master Shen seems to be in good spirits.” Xia Ning pulled out a chair and sat down. She leaned back and looked at Shen Yuanqi.”Why did you call me here?”
Shen Yuanqi sighed, looked at Xia Ning and said in a low voice,””Are you still not willing to call me grandfather?”
“Did I not make myself clear last time? I don’t have a grandfather. ” Xia Ning s.h.i.+fted her gaze away from him, her expression cold and distant.
“I know I’ve let your grandma down, but I don’t have much time left.” Shen Yuanqi sighed.”I have liver cancer, late-stage.”
Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi and sneered,””What does this have to do with me? are you trying to get my sympathy by telling me this? Would the arrogant old master Shen also ask for other people’s pity?”
Shen Yuanqi’s expression darkened and he said in a low voice,””I know you hate me. If I had known that your mother was my child, I wouldn’t have stood by and watched. It was my fault. I let her down.”
The corners of Xia Ning’s lips curled up, but she did not say anything.
If he was still the Supreme old master of the Shen family, and the huaining group was still the Shen family ‘s, would he have said this to her?
In this world, human relations.h.i.+ps were often thinner than one would think. There were no eternal family, only eternal interests.
“Ke, Tianlang is a good boy. I’m very happy to hear that you’ve allowed him to return to huaining group.” Shen Yuanqi continued,”that child has been kind from the bottom of his heart. In the past, I was afraid that he would suffer. Now that I think about it, his kindness has helped him. However, he is your cousin after all. If he doesn’t have any shares in the group, I’m afraid he will be looked down upon easily. You see …”
Xia Ning took out her phone from her bag and scrolled through it, but she did not answer.
“I know that you use the name ‘huaining’ to commemorate your grandmother, so I don’t blame you for changing the name of the company.” Shen Yuanqi looked at Xia Ning and said in a low voice,”if your grandmother knew that you and your sister were in charge of the huaining group, she would definitely be happy. She used to look forward to your uncle getting married and having children.”
