Chapter 419 Stepmother's Self-cultivation 15
In the study, Shen Wangqiu sat on a chair with a gloomy face.
Shen Xingnan stood huddled in front of the desk, not daring to look up at Shen Wangqiu, only wiping his tears with his sleeves from time to time.
Shen Wangqiu looked at his quail-like son, and besides anger and heartache, he also felt disappointment.
Cowardly and timid, he doesn't know how to resist when bullied and is easily instigated...
He can't even complain, he's full of shortcomings.
but……
Shen Wangqiu looked at Shen Xingnan whose eyes were red.
He had a thin body and a timid expression. Through his wide collar, you could see the scars on his back caused by cigarette burns.
This is my own son, my poor son who is being bullied in a place where I can’t see him!
He shifted his gaze to the display on the table, and a question suddenly crossed his mind.
Is it worth it to neglect children's lives and studies for the sake of work, and not be able to protect them in time when they are hurt?
"Knock knock~"
There was a knock on the door. Shen Wangqiu adjusted his mood and cleared his throat: "Come in."
Wu Jiangli opened the door and ignored Shen Wangqiu. He said directly to Shen Xingnan, "Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, on the north runway. Don't forget!"
Shen Xingnan was startled, then nodded: "I know...I know..."
Wu Jiangli hummed, turned around, rolled his eyes at Shen Wangqiu, and closed the door again.
Shen Wangqiu: ...
Wu Jiangli's action interrupted Shen Wangqiu's recent thoughts about life. He sighed, stood up, walked to Shen Xingnan, and gently hugged him.
"Xiaonan," Shen Xingnan said in a complicated voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well and made you suffer!"
Hearing this, Shen Xingnan was stunned.
He had already prepared himself to be punished by Shen Wangqiu, but he did not expect that Shen Wangqiu would actually apologize to him.
Shen Wangqiu continued, "...I hope that if you encounter any problems in the future, you can tell me in time. I am your father and I will definitely protect you!"
A wave of sadness surged in his heart, his eyes filled with tears, and the huge grievance was like a huge rock, pressing on Shen Xingnan's heart.
"Dad...Dad..."
Shen Xingnan hugged Shen Wangqiu tightly and cried loudly: "I... I'm in so much pain... Dad... Please save me... Dad..."
Shen Wangqiu's eyes also became moist. He hugged Shen Xingnan with one hand and gently stroked his back with the other to comfort him.
Outside, Wu Jiangli leaned against the door, listening to the faint crying sounds coming from inside, and sighed softly.
The two children fell asleep, and Wu Jiangli came to find Shen Wangqiu with a USB flash drive.
In the past, whenever Shen Wangqiu was at home, the original body would sleep with Shen Wangqiu.
The original body would only live in the second bedroom when Shen Wangqiu was not around.
However, Wu Jiangli was too impatient to deal with Shen Wangqiu, so even if he came back, he had no plans to move back.
"Here, inside are some things I found out," Wu Jiangli threw the USB drive to Shen Wangqiu, "As for the rest, you can handle it yourself!"
If he can't even handle this little thing, there's no point in him being the domineering CEO.
Shen Wangqiu called out to Wu Jiangli who was about to leave: "Xiao Li!"
Wu Jiangli turned around: "What?"
Shen Wangqiu chose his words carefully: "I feel like you seem a little different from before."
Whether it was his own feelings or the stories told by the two children, he felt that Wu Jiangli was a completely different person.
"So?" Wu Jiangli said fearlessly, "You want a divorce?"
"No, no, no," Shen Wangqiu waved his hands hurriedly, "I... I was just talking casually."
Wu Jiangli said sternly, "You're truly the worst CEO I've ever had! Pay more attention to your children and less to unnecessary things!"
Shen Wangqiu: ...
Why do these words sound so familiar?
He changed the subject: "Well, thank you for taking care of Xiaonan and Xiaobei. I'll have to ask you to take care of them in the future."
Hearing this, Wu Jiangli's expression became even more serious. "Shen Wangqiu, you must understand one thing. I, Wu Jiangli, am just an ordinary, vicious stepmother. You are the biological father of these two children. Therefore, you are the one who should worry more. Do you understand?"
Shocked by Wu Jiangli's serious expression, Shen Wangqiu stammered, "I...I understand!"
"Well," Wu Jiangli nodded, "You reflect on yourself here, I'm leaving!"
The study returned to silence. Shen Wangqiu was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing: "It's really interesting."
Shen Wangqiu proved with his strength that he was not the worst boss Wu Jiangli had ever led.
The overseas project had almost been discussed, so Shen Wangqiu resolved it as quickly as possible and then concentrated on avenging his child.
Although the things Wu Jiangli gave could not immediately overthrow the Yuan family and the Xiahou family, they also caused them a lot of trouble.
Anyway, not long after, the Xiahou family arranged for Xiahou Jian, who was paralyzed on one side of his body and unable to speak, to withdraw from school.
Afterwards, Wu Jiangli learned from Shen Wangqiu that two important members of the Xiahou family had been transferred to the grassroots level.
An important project of the Yuan family was intercepted by the Shen family, and there was a problem with the capital chain. Yun Fu was racking his brains to find a solution.
If it weren't for Wu Jiangli, Shen Xingbei would definitely have been bitten by Yun Jinbao's spider. And with Li Yuxi's distortion of right and wrong, he would definitely have suffered a loss.
As for those classmates whose money was stolen by Shen Xingnan, Shen Wangqiu also found ways to make amends to them one by one.
They didn't know what Shen Xingnan had done, and accepted Shen Wangqiu's kindness without thinking.
Looking at Shen Xingnan running around in circles, Wu Jiangli asked Shen Wangqiu, "Have you ever thought about changing Xiaonan's environment?"
Shen Wangqiu was curious: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Wu Jiangli thought for a moment and said, "For example... serving in the army?"
Shen Wangqiu looked at Shen Xingnan, who was out of breath after running only two laps, and touched his chin.
Then, Shen Xingnan was sent for laser eye surgery.
During the recovery period, Wu Jiangli did not let Shen Xingnan go. Since he could not do strenuous exercise immediately, Wu Jiangli took the two children to do yoga.
In fact, wealthy families are unlikely to send their children to the army, especially to serve as ordinary conscripts.
Unless there is a family tradition of learning or the family has a clear path, no one would want their children to suffer this hardship.
Shen Xingnan has a weak personality and has been suffering from mild depression because of what happened before. She can't let it go on like this.
After much thought, I can only leave it to the country.
Wu Jiangli fed the two children health-strengthening pills, and found a way to remove the burn scar on Shen Xingnan's back, and took good care of his body.
After passing the physical examination and training, Shen Xingnan was assigned to a unit in the northwest.
Before leaving, Shen Xingnan held the hands of Shen Wangqiu and Wu Jiangli and cried bitterly.
"I...I will try my best, woooo..."
Shen Wangqiu looked at Shen Xingnan's departing back and wiped away his tears silently.
Wu Jiangli finally knew where Shen Xingnan's crying habit came from. It turned out that he inherited it from Shen Wangqiu.
Shen Xingnan's departure made Shen Wangqiu depressed for several days.
However, soon, he no longer had time to be emo.
His beloved daughter was taken to the police station for causing trouble.
