Chapter 403: Humans are all Self Contradictory

Shen Qianshu stared at her strangely, and countless emotions intertwined. She had thought that her mother was here to make her help the Shen Family.

“Mom, you…”

“Your dad owes illegal banks 150 million. He wants you to pay. If you continue living where you used to, I’m afraid that he would not give up on his ideas.”

“Mom, aren’t you here to make me help the Shen Family?”

“Please, I beg you. This… is selfish of me. You are close to Ye Yifan and Li Zhiyuan. I have indeed thought about it before, and if they are of a perfect match with you, then help us out. But as for the Young Boss Qian from that illegal bank… He’s a beast… Even if I’m heartless, I wouldn’t let you do something like that.”

Shen Qianshu laughed lightly. “Mom, you’re really self-contradictory.”

She was hurting her, and yet, she could not bear to hurt her all the way.

How contradicting.

Fang Xia felt guilty and ashamed as if she was having difficulty saying something. “Do you have money to lend us?”

Shen Qianshu froze. Fang Xia shook her head. “Never mind, never mind. Just pretend that Mommy didn’t mention anything. Tong Hua only became famous in recent years, and things haven’t been easy for you as well. How could you have the money to lend us?”

Shen Qianshu wanted to say something, and yet she did not. 150 million, she had that sum.

She got the money through cheating when she pretended to be Old Qian. Also, she had money from Tong Hua’s film earnings and the income she got as an appraiser. She was a mini-millionaire. However, the Shen Family was a deep hole. How long could she help them fill it up with money?

“Mom, all of you should live a normal life now that you lost the company. In these years, you all have made quite a bit of money. I don’t think you wouldn’t be able to live just because the company has gone bankrupt. In this city, young couples can lead a normal and happy life with just a monthly income of twenty thousand. Some people can also live a meaningful and satisfactory life with four to five thousand a month. Everyone wishes to be a multimillionaire, but our abilities should match to our aspirations. Otherwise, they’re just illusions. Why not take a step down and live a normal civilian lifestyle? I won’t ignore you,” Shen Qianshu said warmly.

“Once you climb up those ladders, it’s hard to come down,” Fang Xia said. “Qianshu, Mommy…”

Has let you down!

Things had come to such a state, and she was still delusional enough to hope for Shen Qianshu to help them.

But after Shen Xiong mentioned wanting to give Shen Qianshu to Young Boss Qian, Fang Xia could no longer bring up the previous justifications and the will to repay the family in front of Qianshu. She could not bring herself to mention such things again.

“Do you know why I’m so biased to Lin and trying to make up to her?” Fang Xia wiped her tears. “Because back then, I took the wrong baby in the hospital. I ruined her life and caused her to roam around aimlessly for fifteen years. So, I have always wanted to fulfill her every demand, her every need.”

Shen Qianshu remained silent for a while. She was not interested in her own life either. She was thinking that some unmarried lady must have gotten pregnant before marriage and abandoned her at the hospital out of fear. Otherwise, why would she be abandoned at the hospital?

Giving birth to a child then not raising her… There was nothing to miss about that.

That year, when Shen Lin returned home, Fang Xia told her that she had brought home the wrong baby. So, she wanted Shen Qianshu to bear with Shen Lin.

Shen Qianshu was just about to say something when she suddenly saw Fang Xia’s facial expression changing drastically. She stared behind Qianshu in fear. Shen Qianshu turned around and saw a man.

Qian Youli!

When Qian Youli was younger, he suffered from a weird disease. Hormones had to be injected into him, which caused his originally short self to swell up like a balloon. Suddenly, he was so fat that he weighed two hundred pounds. His height could not even reach Qianshu’s. His facial features were all squeezed to the center due to his fats. His parents pa.s.sed away young, and Boss Qian had been busy, so his discipline was neglected. The way to express love to him was to keep giving him money. Unknowingly, he raised a useless nephew.
