Returning to the Sheng family villa after more than a month, Sheng Wantang felt strange looking at the place where she once lived.
Things are different and people are different.
The servant led Sheng Wantang into the house.
Next to her, Sheng Mengyue helped her.
"The old lady has made a lot of money from this illness." Lin Zhi was counting money happily in the living room, pressing the calculator with one hand and recording with a pen in the other, "Your third uncle's family only gave away 20,000 yuan, how can you afford it?
Your uncle's family is a genuine gift and he gave you ginseng and blood bird's nest. Mom will replenish your health later."
"Thank you, Mom!" Sheng Mengyue sat aside and helped Lin Zhi, and agreed with a smile as bright as a flower.
Mrs. Sheng was ill this time, and they only saw the condolence gifts sent by relatives and friends.
Sheng Wantang's face was cold.
It was the servant who spoke again: "Madam, the second young lady is back."
When Lin Zhi saw Sheng Wantang, his smile faded slightly. He looked Sheng Wantang up and down and asked, "You came empty-handed?"
Sheng Wantang nodded.
She came empty-handed on purpose.
Lin Zhi and Sheng Kun don't deserve her extra penny!
Lin Zhi's dissatisfaction was written on her face: "Not polite!"
Sheng Mengyue looked at Sheng Wantang with a smile, the provocation and fighting spirit in her eyes were obvious, and she was happy to see Sheng Wantang's jokes.
"Where's grandma?" Sheng Wantang looked around and didn't see Mrs. Sheng.
Lin Zhi motioned to the servant to show Sheng Wantang the way.
Mrs. Sheng was arranged in a guest room next to the utility room on the first floor.
Mrs. Sheng's head was still wrapped in gauze, and her old and frail body was lying on the bed. When she saw Sheng Wantang coming, her eyes lit up, and her sick air became a little more energetic.
"Tangtang is here!"
Mrs. Sheng was about to get out of bed. Sheng Wantang walked over in three steps and two steps to help her.
"Grandma, just lie down - Grandma, will you live here?" Sheng Wantang glanced at this room. It was cold, damp, without light all year round, and the furnishings in the room were simple. How could it look like the residence of the elders of the house?
"It's nice here." Mrs. Sheng said with a smile, "It's better to live with your family than in a nursing home."
But in Sheng Wantang's opinion, the environment here is worse than a nursing home!
Sheng Wantang felt an indescribable pain in her heart, both because of her own powerlessness and because of Mrs. Sheng's resignation.
Sheng Wantang and Mrs. Sheng chatted for a while.
The servant knocked on the door: "Second Miss, it's time to eat. The old lady's food is cooked separately, and the kitchen will bring it to the old lady later."
Sheng Wantang came out of Mrs. Sheng's room. The three members of the Sheng family sat at the dining table, leaving two empty chairs.
"Are you alone? Where is Lu Jiyuan?" Sheng Kun sat on the main seat and asked with a frown.
"He has something to do and can't come." Sheng Wantang replied.
"Is it because you can't come or you don't want to come?" Sheng Mengyue said deliberately, "Last night, Fourth Master Lu bought the sky-high price of jade for his sister. He thought that Fourth Master Lu liked you, but didn't expect it was all an illusion? Speaking of which, the imperial green
The jadeite is dignified and beautiful, and it suits my mother very well. Why don’t you want to give it to your mother?”
Yes, Sheng Wantang uses the imperial green jadeite with too much nobility, so she should be filial to her!
Lin Zhi glanced at Sheng Wantang and said angrily: "You also gave me the imperial green? Some people didn't even buy a kilogram of fruit when they came back."
"That set of jadeite is not mine." Sheng Wantang said.
If you don't explain it clearly, Lin Zhi will definitely come up with it from time to time.
Although Sheng Mengyue looked at Sheng Wantang's signature, she still felt that it was impossible for Lu Jiyuan to give such valuable jewelry to Sheng Wantang, and he was probably just pretending.
"It's useless!" Sheng Kun immediately put on a face, "You can't even get me a gift, but you still want to win a man's heart? I've raised you all these years in vain!"
Sheng Kun came home from get off work early today just because he wanted to meet Lu Jiyuan, his cheap son-in-law, and see if he could get any benefits.
He doesn't believe that a man who can spend three billion without any business resources in his hands!
What's the result?
Not to mention resources, not even people came!
Sheng Wantang didn't answer and ate his own food.
She has seen Lin Zhi and Sheng Kun's faces clearly and has no illusions about them anymore.
——Without expectations, there will be no harm.
"Wantang, we won't say anything if you don't show filial piety to us, but you have to show some respect to the old lady, right?" Lin Zhi then started the purpose of calling Sheng Wantang back today, "You have also seen the old lady's body.
, I have to hire someone to take care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation alone, and I have to take supplements.”
Lin Zhi did not mention that Mrs. Sheng's treatment expenses during this period were all paid by Sheng Wantang, let alone the fact that Jing Yan was invited to perform surgery on the old lady.
Sheng Wantang heard the implication behind her words.
Want money!
In the past two years, the market share of Shengjia's business has been squeezed, and it has become more and more powerful outside. Linzhi's daily expenses have to be calculated.
"You plan to keep grandma at home instead of sending her to a nursing home?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhi nodded, but his face didn't look good.
I don’t know who told the relatives of the Sheng family that the old lady was sick, so they had to take her back to raise her so as not to be counted as the victims.
"How much do you want?" Sheng Wantang was too lazy to talk to her.
Lin Zhi immediately smiled: "I heard from Yueyue that you got the contract as a co-stylist of GT, and you also have income. We won't embarrass you. If you give the family one million, it will be used as a recuperation for the old lady.
money."
Sheng Wantang was originally puzzled as to how Sheng Mengyue could say such loud words as "just two billion".
Love is hereditary!
Seeing that Sheng Wantang didn't speak, Sheng Mengyue smiled and said, "Mom, Sheng Wantang may not have that much money. Her monthly income from being a stylist is probably not as high as mine from shooting a magazine cover. You have really spent all these years in vain.
She got it."
When Sheng Kun heard this, he glared at Sheng Wantang, threw his chopsticks and left.
I don’t want to see this useless thing!
Lin Zhi reminded: "If you have no money, your man has money. Sheng Wantang, this is related to your grandma's quality of life, so you should think carefully about it."
"I can give you the money," Sheng Wantang said, "but I have a request."
"you say."
"Give me the silver lock that Sheng Mengyue brought back."
When Sheng Mengyue went home, she had a small silver lock around her neck. Sheng Mengyue originally thought it was a gift from the Sheng family to the baby when she was born. Only when she arrived at the Sheng family did she realize that it was not something from the Sheng family at all - these days
, no token is as effective as a paternity test.
"It's just silver, I'll give it to you!" Sheng Mengyuehun didn't care.
Not to mention silver, even pure gold is not worth much, and she still thinks it is tacky!
"By the way, take all your things with you." Lin Zhi said.
Taking it away just freed up the room!
After dinner, Sheng Wantang went upstairs to clean up her room.
There used to be many dresses and jewelry in her room, as well as birthday and holiday gifts from the famous ladies and gentlemen in her childhood. But now when she comes back, she sees that nothing of value is gone.
The dress was torn by the last time she cut it herself.
The jewelry and gifts were all taken for herself by Sheng Mengyue.
"Sheng Wantang, don't touch things that don't belong to you." Sheng Mengyue stood at the door with her arms folded, leisurely monitoring Sheng Wantang.
Sheng Wantang didn't pack much, so she could fit it in a small kraft cardboard box.
Mrs. Sheng was in low spirits and fell asleep first.
Sheng Wantang went out with the box in her arms, feeling completely disconnected from this place.
But she knew that she couldn't break it off at all.
Because Mrs. Sheng is her weakness.
"Sheng Wantang, stop right here!"
As soon as Sheng Wantang reached the door of the villa courtyard, Sheng Mengyue chased her out angrily.
"One of my sapphire brooches is missing. Did you take it secretly?" Sheng Mengyue asked Sheng Wantang.
It was now evening after dinner, and some neighbors were out for a walk. Several ladies heard the sound and immediately looked over.
