Shen Qianshu had all along been attentive to their news. At that moment, she also did not know what to do. The parents she once had were met with difficulties. It made her sigh.
“Are you thinking of helping the Shen family?” Ye Ling asked.
He did not like Shen Qianshu putting in too much effort on the Shen family. It made him unhappy. Recently, there was also another matter that made him rather unhappy. Since Su Nancheng had known that he had kept his beloved woman in his magnificent house, Su Nancheng had been making noise as he wanted to make a trip to Rose Castle. However, his request was denied by Ye Ling.
This brother of his even got angry and said that he had let Old Master Qian down. It was like he was the biggest jerk of the century; it made him seem like he had no morals as he looked like he went after both males and females. In his face, it was all a bunch of rumors, but it made Xie Jinghuan and Mu Yuan extremely curious.
This year had been a year of worries.
“I got someone to buy the Shen family’s mansion. The procedures would still require a period of time and are quite troublesome. After buying the mansion, I’ll let them stay. There would not be a transfer of ownership for the house for the moment, but I think they shouldn’t have any problems with their lives. Even if they became bankrupt, your father had been doing business for so many years after all. He should be able to find a way out,” Shen Qianshu said and thought in her heart. The difficult situation was temporary. It would be settled eventually. Hence, it should not be considered as something too worrying.
Just that… she was somehow worried about Fang Xia’s situation.
Fang Xia had always listened to Shen Xiong. She knew Shen Xiong too well. If he was drunk and furthermore frustrated, Fang Xia would not be living well.
Ye Ling said calmly, “Regarding that account which the Lu family had fabricated, I will think of a way to settle it. That amount should not be as much as 150 million. It should only be 70 or 80 million at the most. I have checked that Shen Xiong had bought three properties in New York. After paying off this debt, there should still be some money remaining. With the interest accumulated in the future, they could also live without worries.”
Just that, it was impossible for them to step into the social circle of the upper-class society.
They could only be idle nobles.
“This would also be good.” Shen Qianshu still could not completely let her grudges go. She just needed to know that they were safe and sound and that they would not be interfering in one another’s lives. This was perhaps the best ending for everyone. Once this matter had been resolved, the heavy stone in her heart would also be gone.
“Where’s the dreadful brat?” Ye Ling suddenly asked.
Why do I feel not used to it when I don’t see this talkative little fellow.
“Baby, he… ” The corners of Shen Qianshu’s lips twitched a few times. It was hard for her to explain. “He is playing basketball!”
“…” Ye Ling was stunned.
This is just odd. Why would he suddenly go and play basketball out of nowhere?
Baby Shen was a rather geeky little boy. He wished so much that his legs were disabled; then, he could stay in someone’s arms every day. If he could be carried, he would definitely be unwilling to walk. If he had the choice not to go out, he would definitely stay at home to read books and comics or play games. He was the biggest geek of the century. He was not interested in exercising at all. If he was asked to jog, it would be like asking him for his life.
“I don’t know what blow he had suffered these past few days. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to grow tall. Zhong Ran and Ye Yifan lied to him saying that he would grow taller by playing basketball. And so, he secretly went to play basketball,” Shen Qianshu said. Once Tong Hua started playing, it would last for more than an hour. He was rather determined.
“He is only a child, and he wants to act handsome already.” Ye Ling snorted. He thought for a while. “Is his father not tall?”
Shen Qianshu shook her head. “Both parents are not tall. His father is 1.7 meters, and his mother looks like she is 1.6 meters.”
“The dreadful brat will definitely not exceed 1.7 meters when he grows up. Playing basketball is good. If he tries hard in the future, he may grow taller by a few inches.”
Shen Qianshu gave a little slap to the back of his hand. “Don’t you talk nonsense in front of him. Our little friend is now conscious of his image. Tong Hua is taller than his peers who are of the same age by quite a lot. He won’t be unable to grow taller. Speaking of which, Tong Hua does not resemble his father and mother at all.”
