CH 127

Thanks to Car God, Shen Qingshu’s new article was recommended on the front page, which also successfully helped him attract a number of new readers.

Shen Qingshu saw that the new readers were discussing the plot in the comment area and guessing the killer’s method. On the one hand, he replied in his heart that they were wrong, that’s not how it happened. On the other hand, he happily continued to fill the pit.

Han Cheng helped the Shen family to cook Shen Qingyu while chasing his new novel.

Shen Qingyu originally thought that Pinghui should declare bankruptcy around July to August. But he waited and waited, only to see his parents regain the smiles on their faces. They seemed to be talking about a major client.

“What’s the matter, mum, so happy?” He asked mother Shen.

Mother Shen smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s nothing. That’s why I’m happy.”

“What do you mean?”

“Before, there was something wrong with the company at home, which worried me and your father. Later, your father found a friend who helped us. So now, the company is back on track. It’s so nothing is wrong.”

Shen Qingyu listened and was shocked. “What kind of friend? Dad has such a powerful friend?”

Mother Shen looked at him, smiling in her eyes, but sad in her heart.

She said, “yes, I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it either.”

Shen Qingyu didn’t understand the meaning of her words, but nodded, while he was worried and angry inside. At this time, a friend of his father suddenly appeared. How could he not know what friend has such great ability?

“Does mum know them?” He asked mother Shen.

Mother Shen shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Then he had to ask father Shen.

Shen Qingyu waited all day until father Shen came home.After greeting him, he asked him and heard father Shen shout: “scram!”

Father Shen looked at him and restrained himself from raising his hand. He turned and walked upstairs, fearing that if he stayed for another second, he would kill the unfilial son.

Shen Qingyu was startled by this shout and did not dare to follow.

He just complained to mother Shen, “What’s wrong with dad?”

What’s wrong? What else? He’s angry with you!

“When such a big thing happens to the company, he is in a bad mood and has a bad temper. Don’t worry about it and don’t go after him.”

Shen Qingyu nodded, but he always felt uneasy.

He called Yan Jiayu to tell him about it. Yan Jiayu asked his own people to check it out and found that the Shen family had indeed received a new client recently, but it was a foreign order. Does father Shen have any cooperation with foreign companies?

Yan Jiayu can only ask Shen Qingyu to check the internal information and try to transfer this customer to their company.

However, Shen Qingyu found that his access was removed.

“What’s going on?” Shen Qingyu asked his father discontentedly, “why did the financial department say that they could not show me the recent financial report without your signature?”

“Exactly as it sounds” Father Shen repressed the burning in his lungs.

“Dad, I know you suspect that someone in the company is unfaithful to you, but I’m your son. You’re not going to suspect me, are you?”

I’ve never doubted you, which is the big mistake that led to this disaster!

Father Shen was so angry that he coughed twice before saying, “I don’t believe anyone now, only myself!”

Shen Qingyu still wants to argue with him, but he was thrown out.

Shen Qingyu angrily went home to find mother Shen.

Mother Shen took him by the hand and comforted him. “Don’t mess with your father. He’s been suspicious recently. Even I am suspected. Just don’t go to the company like me.”

How can this be?

If Pinghui does not fall, how can he become the most powerful voice in the Shen family? If Pinghui does not fall, how can Yan Jiayu continue cooperating with him? If Pinghui does not fall, Shen Qingshu will come back!

So Pinghui must go down!

However, he was horrified to find that Pinghui seemed to have slowly stabilised, and the holes he had made one by one were all filled in quietly.

It seems to have come back to life again, like branches that have gone through the winter, with tender leaves growing again.

Shen Qingyu is not willing. However, he had not yet figured out how to continue digging at Pinghu when he and Yan Jiayu’s Shuangyu Co. Ltd. began to have several partners saying that they would reconsider their cooperation.

“I chose you before because your price is lower than that of Pinghui. But after repeated comparison, we think that Pinghui, as an old company, is more secure.”

Shen Qingyu and Yan Jiayu are discussing how to retain these partners, when they heard the brand manager say to them in a hurry: “bad news, Mr. Yan and Mr. Shen, the company’s negative news has suddenly hit the hot search, and has soared to the top ten.”

Shen Qingyu was shocked. He quickly opened his mobile phone and searched, seeing a lot of curses on his weibo.

Then, many companies that had signed the contract also called to ask for the termination of the contract and asked Shuangyu to compensate for the wasted time.

One situation after another, like a fuse suddenly igniting, exploded one after another. Shen Qingyu and Yan Jiayu were caught unprepared and looked at each other.

Not to mention that the projects invested before have not yet made profits, the other party has started to make a fuss to terminate the contract, and the new project has not yet found a partner. People inside the company are worried, and many people outside the company are waiting to see.

At this critical moment, Yan Jiayu found that the company had financial problems.

He was scared out in a cold sweat. After three days, he still failed to hold on. He told his parents about his company.

Father Yan listened to his words very carefully. After listening, he thought quietly for a few minutes, and then advised him: “declare bankruptcy.”

Yan Jiayu was unwilling. “This is the first time I started a business.”

“It’s obvious that even if you want to save the situation now, it’s very difficult to save it. Once the word of mouth falls, it’s too difficult to stand up.”

Father Yan advised him, “Jiayu, you should know that not every venture can succeed. Most people face the pain of failure. Therefore, we should learn to stop losses in time and learn to choose.”

“Although you have lost money now, if your family helps you make up for this loss and continue to sustain it I’m afraid your losses will become more and more. It’s not good for you and the family.”

Yan Jiayu originally wanted to rely on Shuangyu to prove himself, and at the same time let Shen Qingshu have no support for the rest of his life. But now, he can only stop, so that he won’t lose all his money.

However, Shen Qingyu is unwilling. Yan Jiayu can of course withdraw, he still has the Yan family. He naturally has a way out, but what about him?

For the sake of Shuangyu, he did not hesitate to scratch Pinghui’s bones and blood. He stepped on Pinghui to get a higher position. If he gives up Shuangyu, won’t all his previous efforts be wasted?

Not only that, if his parents knew what he had done, he would not be able to stay in the Shen family, so how could Shuangyu fail?

It can’t fall!

Yan Jiayu advised him, “we declare bankruptcy now, and the debts on us are tens of millions of dollars, which is still repayable. In the future, the snowball will roll bigger and bigger, and more and more money to repay. Do you want to bear more debts? I don’t want to.”

“You say that so easily .” Shen Qingyu said angrily, “if you can’t take out tens of millions, you can still find your parents. But what about me? Where can I get tens of millions?”

“Shen Qingyu, I’ve already told you what I analysed and my future course. You can feel free to do whatever you want.”

Shen Qingyu heard this and knew that he had completely abandoned Shuangyu.

He grabbed Yan Jiayu and constantly persuaded him, “you are the president of Shuangyu. You can’t give it up like this!”

“If you don’t want to, you can just support yourself.”

He turned and walked to the door, leaving Shen Qingyu alone in the room. How can he support himself?

What can he use as support?

Shen Qingyu sits in the office decadently, feeling frustrated.

He began to borrow money from his friends.

It’s just that the hole is too big and the borrowed money is far from enough.

After Yan Jiayu paid tens of millions of his own money, he completely stopped taking charge of the company. He even wanted to dismiss the employees of the company and declare bankruptcy.

But Shen Qingyu was unwilling. He stubbornly thought that as long as he had enough money, he could continue to maintain it.

There is nothing in this world that money can’t solve. If there is, it just needs more money.

However, he had long run out of money, and his friends had all been borrowed from. The hole was not filled and the employees’ wages had to be paid. In a few days, he seemed to lose his energy and vitality and he has aged a lot at once.

Shen Qingyu felt that he could no longer sustain himself and Shuangyu could not be sustained either.

But he has thrown so much money into it. He has no money left. What can he do?

He sold everything he could, but it was not enough.

Even if bankruptcy is declared at this time and the company is liquidated, it still won’t be enough.

Moreover, once the bankruptcy is announced, it is inevitable that his parents will notice Shuangyu, notice him hiding in Shuangyu, and find out the previous events.

Shen Qingyu fell into chaos and didn’t know what to do.

He contacted Yan Jiayu and Zhao Heng, and the answer he got was to declare bankruptcy.

But he can’t declare bankruptcy. He doesn’t want to be discovered by his parents.

He went home in despair and shrouded in sadness.

Mother Shen is arranging flowers. She is humming songs  in a seemingly happy mood. Of course, she should be happy. Pinghui is getting better every day and she can be a rich wife again. She really has nothing to be unhappy about.

Shen Qingyu looks at her and suddenly seems to see hope.

Anyway, now she doesn’t know what he has done, so he can use her and Pinghui again!

As long as she is willing to give him money, he can first stabilise Shuangyu, and then slowly suck Pinghui’s blood again to feed himself.

If he can step on Pinghui once, he is doomed to step on it for the second time.

He still has hope!

Restraining his excitement, he went to mother Shen and asked her, “Mum, are you arranging flowers?”

Mother Shen nodded, “yes.”

“It’s beautiful.” Shen Qingyu said.

Mother Shen smiled and said, “yes, I think so too.”

“Mum,” Shen Qingyu said softly, “can you give me some pocket money?”

Mother Shen’s hand arranging flowers paused and she slowly turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”

“I owe someone some money and I have to pay it back.” Shen Qingyu has already thought of an excuse. “So mum, can you help me?”

“How much do you want?”

“Fifty million.” Shen Qingyu said.

“So much.” Mother Shen was surprised.

“It’s my fault. I can’t resist the temptation for a while. I know I’m wrong. Mum, please help me this time.”

Mother Shen put the flowers in the vase and said slowly, “but I don’t have so much money. Since something happened at home, your father was suspicious and took all my cards.”

Shen Qingyu didn’t expect this. “Isn’t the company getting better?”

“Once bitten by a snake, be scared of rope for ten years. His paranoia has not yet eased.” Mother Shen lied to him.

Of course she has money, but of course she won’t give it to Shen Qingyu.

What to help him for? To let him continue to grow and suck his family’s blood?

She and Shen Ping are about to become the most ordinary members of the company’s board of directors. They have no power and have only money.

So money has become their only dependence. How could she give it to Shen Qingyu?

“Then I……” Shen Qingyu looked at her. “Mum, what should I do?”

Mother Shen looked at him. His eyes still looked as soft and gentle as before, as if he had no ill intention. Anyone who looked at him would think he was a good obedient child.

She once thought that he was her best son. She loved him so much that she even loved him more than her biological son. But in the end, he wanted her to leave her with nothing.

Mother Shen couldn’t understand. “Xiao Yu, has your mother treated you badly?”

Shen Qingyu was stunned for a long time and shook his head. “Mum, you are good to me.”

“Then why don’t you tell your mother when you owe money?”

Why do you hurt your mother so much?

Shen Qingyu looked at the sadness in her eyes and felt guilty for a moment. He said, “I thought I could help you. I was also worried about you and Dad, so I took the wrong path.”

He’s still cheating on her. Still cheating on her at this time.

Looking at the flowers in her hand, mother Shen slowly cut off a branch and silently inserted the flowers into the vase.

What’s the use of raising him for more than 20 years?

After all, they are just a pair of unrelated mother and son.

She doesn’t know her son.

He doesn’t love his mother.

It’s funny that she hurt her biological son for such a son.

Can she not know about Shen Qingshu’s resentment against her?

Can she not know about Shen Qingshu’s dissatisfaction with his family?

She has to be partial to Shen Qingyu.

She was afraid that Shen Qingshu’s return would embarrass Shen Qingyu and make him feel that she cared more about her biological son. Therefore, she became more concerned about Shen Qingyu for fear that he would feel wronged.

Of course, she knew that Shen Qingshu was also eager for her love. But she thought that they were mother and son, and they could slowly cultivate their feelings in the future. However, they never had a future.

Shen Qingshu was determined to leave. He never came back after he left. Whether it’s good or bad, it has nothing to do with her.

However, Shen Qingyu, who had been doted on for so long, pushed her step by step into the fire pit when he was good, and turned to her for help when he was down.

You can’t be too partial in your life. If you go too far, God won’t turn a blind eye.

So they received retribution, this is their retribution.

Mother Shen quietly planted flowers and said nothing.

Shen Qingyu vaguely feels that the atmosphere around her is wrong, but he can’t pinpoint what is wrong.

He looked at her and was about to continue begging, when the door opened and father Shen came back.

Mother Shen picked up the vase and said, “Ask your father.”

Shen Qingyu watched his adoptive father approach step by step, and summoned up the courage to sit down with him. “Dad, can you lend me some money?”

Father Shen’s hand paused as he prepared to pour tea.

“What are you talking about?” He asked.

“A while ago, I saw that the company had such a big problem and wanted to help you, but I didn’t have much money. They said that there was a way to get money quickly, and then they took me to gamble. At the beginning, I really won. I thought I was lucky and I could help you, but I didn’t expect…”

Shen Qingyu lowered her voice. “I didn’t expect that later, I began to lose. The more I lost, the more I got emotional. Leading me to lose tens of millions.”

Father Shen looked at him as if he were looking at a dead object.

He thought of the phone call Han Cheng made to him before work. “Shuangyu can’t hold on any longer, and your son probably can’t either. He has borrowed from all the people he can borrow from recently. The next target should be you and your wife. When the time comes, you don’t have to hide it from him anymore.”

Father Shen was still thinking, would he ask him to borrow money?

After he has done so many shameless things, will he have the face to borrow money from himself?

Now he knows, he will.

He is indeed shameless.

Father Shen gripped the teapot tighter and tighter. Finally, he couldn’t hold back and threw the teapot at his face.

Shen Qingyu didn’t expect it, but instinctively dodged. The teapot brushed his face and flew past. The next second, he was slapped by father Shen.

Shen Qingyu looked at his adoptive father in shock.

Father Shen’s eyes were full of anger. His anger, which had been suppressed for a month, was finally released at this moment. He raised his hand and hit Shen Qingyu. Shen Qingyu was dizzy and his nose began bleeding.

Shen Qingyu struggled to get away from him, and looked at him with a bewildered expression. “What are you doing? I borrowed money for the sake of the family, what are you beating me for!”

Father Shen trembled with anger. “You still have the face to say that you are for the sake of your family! Which family are you for? Is it only your family?!”

“I’m not. I did it for my family, for our family!”

“Aren’t you ashamed to say that?” Father Shen angrily said, “Shen Qingyu, your mother and I have treated you well. From childhood to childhood, you had everything you wanted. Then, your mother and I found out that you were a fake. It is your biological mother who deliberately changed the child, deliberately causing us to be separated from our own son for more than 20 years. I haven’t blamed you!”

“Your mother and I have always treated you as our own son, but what about you? What have you done? You want to destroy Pinghui and kill your mother and me!”

Shen Qingyu looks at him in disbelief. He knows. He knows.

“I already knew.” Father Shen looked at him. “I thought this was your limit, but now you have the courage to ask me for money. What do you mean by saying it was for the sake of this family? Are you doing this for our family?! This family is almost destroyed by you!”

“I didn’t!” Shen Qingyu argued, “I didn’t want to harm you. I just want to give myself a way out. I don’t want to destroy our family. I would have supported you. Even if Pinghui collapses, I will support you!”

Shen’s father was so angry that he picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it at him. Shen Qingyu did not dodge in time and the ashtray hit his forehead and shed blood.

“Who needs you to support me?! I have my own company and business. Why should I let you support me? I’m not that old! I don’t need your hypocrisy!”

“What do you think Pinghui is? This is the painstaking work of your mother and I. Without it, there would be no us and you now. In the first half of your life, you were free and unrestrained, spending money like water, relying on Pinghui! Your mother and I combined our names together, creating Pinghui, which is the foundation of our survival. But what about you? You want to destroy it, and you want to feed your company with its blood!”

“Shuangyu, Shuangyu, Shen Qingyu and Yan Jiayu, when you named this name, did you ever think about how your mother and I felt? Did you ever think about how your mother and I would feel after knowing what you did? How could you be so ruthless and ungrateful!”

Shen Qingyu looks at his angry face, but his heart is strangely calm.

He may have been waiting for this day, or he may have been waiting for this moment, when everything has been revealed.

He said, “if I am ruthless and ungrateful. What about you? How deep are your feelings?”

“You keep saying that you treat me well, but what about the reality? You dare to say that you never thought of leaving everything of the Shen family to Shen Qingshu. You dare to say that you really will give Pinghui to me without reservation?”

“Why do I do this? I want to live, and I want to live well. I want to live as comfortably as before. But as long as Shen Qingshu is present, you will hesitate between him and me. If there is a man like Han Cheng around him, you will not hesitate to abandon me and choose him as your beloved son!”

“I can’t help it. I just want to live well. Is this too much? I said I would support you. If you love me enough, and if you really want to give me Pinghui, what is the difference between Pinghui and Shuangyu? Is it not the same money, the same family of three?”

“You pei!” Father Shen went over and tried to hit him.

Shen Qingyu raised his hand and grabbed his arm. Father Shen kicked him directly and kicked him to the ground.

“Can it be the same? Can it be the same! If it is the same, why did you build your company behind our back?”

“I tell you, Pinghui won’t be yours, and Shuangyu will certainly be ruined. You have nothing left, and nothing will belong to you.”

“I will give Pinghui to xiao Shu. When he has his birthday next month, I will give Pinghui to him. When I am too old to walk, I will give him everything in the Shen family. Do you want to fight with him? Then I will give it all to him as you wish. He is my biological son and the son that shares my blood. He should have inherited everything from me long ago!”

“No.” Shen Qingyu struggled to get up, knelt on the ground, and looked at him in alarm. “You can’t do this! Dad, you can’t give it to him. You can’t give everything to him. That’s too cruel and unfair to me.”

“What’s unfair. In the first half of his life, he didn’t enjoy any glory, wealth or honour because of your shameless mother. So in the second half of his life, it’s time for him to enjoy this happiness. It’s time for him to stay in the Shen family and live happily with me and your mother, the three of us!”

“And you, like your mother, should roll away and not taint my eyes.”

Shen Qingyu looked at him in horror. “You want to drive me away? You don’t want me?”

“Yes,” Father Shen said one word at a time, “I don’t want you anymore. You are not from the Shen family. You should have left long ago. It’s really a bargain for you to only leave now.”
