Chapter 6: When the heavens are mad, rain will fall; when people are mad, disaster will follow.
Shen Jingnian is a staunch advocate of remaining single.
Therefore, he has never been in a relationship over the years, nor has he ever had a "white moonlight" or a "cinnabar mole" (a romantic ideal); the person he loves most is himself.
Therefore, Shen Jingnian absolutely would not allow another outsider with no blood relation to share his wealth, the business empire he built from scratch!
What's his is his, and it can only ever be his!
Yun Haotian looked up at Shen Jingnian, "Uncle, don't be so sure. Just because you haven't met someone you like now doesn't mean you won't in the future. What if you do meet someone later? Wouldn't that be like contradicting yourself?"
"Slapping yourself in the face? Only weak people think about these things," Shen Jingnian said with a slight smile. "I will always be loyal only to myself."
Ding!
The elevator reached the VIP floor. Shen Jingnian stepped out, and as he did so, a feeling of stuffiness and discomfort rose in his chest. He slightly raised his hand, pressed his fist to his lips, and coughed a few times.
As if he had thought of something, Shen Jingnian handed the prescription to Yun Haotian, "Send this prescription to Assistant Wang and have him arrange for the pharmacy to decoct it and send it over every day."
Yun Haotian's eyes widened. "Uncle, are you really planning to take this kind of medicine of unknown origin? I think that woman is just exaggerating. She's so young, she might not even have passed the pharmacist's exam! How could she know medicine? What if she was sent by the rivals to harm you?"
At this point, Yun Haotian paused, then continued:
"How about this, I'll contact a reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look at you! If your symptoms are really as she described, then it's not too late to take this medicine."
Defenses can not do without.
Shen Jingnian holds a high position and is feared by many. Some people, unable to openly fight him, resort to underhanded tactics. Who knows if Jiang Ning was sent by his rivals?
--
soon.
The two then went to a VIP ward.
An elderly woman with a kind face was lying on the hospital bed. When she saw Shen Jingnian and Yun Haotian enter, the caregiver immediately helped her sit up. "Jingnian, Xiaotian, you've come."
"Mom, take it easy." Shen Jingnian strode to the bedside and helped his mother sit up instead of the caregiver.
"Grandma."
Yun Haotian stood to one side, respectfully greeting the person.
The elderly woman lying in the hospital bed was Shen Jingnian's mother, Madam Shen.
The old lady of the Shen family had Shen Jingnian when she was 45 years old. Now Shen Jingnian has just turned 30, and the old lady of the Shen family is 75 years old. Although she is already in her seventies, she is in very good spirits.
After helping his mother sit down, Shen Jingnian sat on the edge of the bed and slowly peeled an apple.
Yun Haotian continued, "Grandma, how are you feeling today?"
Madam Shen smiled and said, "I just have some soft tissue contusions, it's not like I've broken any bones, there's no need to make a fuss."
The elderly lady was in a minor car accident a while ago. It wasn't a big deal, but because of her age, she needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time.
"But your uncle, he worries me a lot." At this point, Madam Shen looked at Shen Jingnian.
"What's wrong with me?" Shen Jingnian was caught off guard.
"You're already so old, and you've never even held a girl's hand. Don't you feel ashamed?"
At such an advanced age?
He hadn't even turned twenty-nine yet, but his mother made him sound like he was seventy or eighty.
Shen Jingnian pressed his temples. "Mom, I've said it before, I'm against marriage."
"Nonsense!" Old Madam Shen interrupted Shen Jingnian, pointing at him and launching into a tirade, "Who doesn't get married? When your father was alive, his greatest wish was to see you and your sister live happily ever after and have a family of your own. Now Xiaotian is getting married soon, and your sister is about to become a grandmother, while you're still all alone. How can I be at ease?"
Madam Shen and Mr. Shen had one son and one daughter together.
The reason Shen Jingnian is the ninth child is because he is the ninth among his cousins in the entire Shen family, not because the Shen family patriarch and patriarch had nine children.
When she was giving birth to her daughter, Madam Shen suffered complications during childbirth and was diagnosed by the hospital as having lost her fertility. Unexpectedly, she suddenly became pregnant at the age of 45.
The couple was overjoyed to have a son late in life, and they doted on him like a precious jewel. Shen Jingnian did not disappoint his parents. Although he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he did not develop the spoiled and dissolute character of a rich kid. He was not only talented, but also had amazing business acumen!
The only thing that worried Madam Shen was that her outstanding son was a non-marriage advocate.
She is indeed the matriarch of the Shen family.
But she is also an ordinary mother.
She hopes her son can get married and have children like ordinary people, so that she can become a grandmother soon and enjoy the joys of family life.
At this point, Madam Shen continued, "Even if you don't get married, you should still date, right? You can date first!"
"I'm not interested in dating, and besides, since I'm against marriage, why should I bother with other girls?"
"So what are you interested in?" Old Madam Shen felt a tightness in her chest.
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly, "Make money."
Old Madam Shen frowned and said angrily, "Then you can spend the rest of your life with money!"
Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "That's what I think too."
Madam Shen gritted her teeth, wishing she could pin her son to the ground and beat him up.
Ironically, the culprit acted as if nothing had happened, handing an apple to Old Madam Shen, saying, "Have an apple."
"Eat your head!" Old Madam Shen slapped the apple out of Shen Jingnian's hand.
Shen Jingnian bent down and picked up the apple from the ground. "Mom, this apple costs 30 yuan. If you're angry, take it out on me, not the money."
"Money, money, money! All you ever think about is money! You can't even bear to throw away a broken apple. Other people keep their money because they have children to pass it on to, but what about you? After you die, there won't even be anyone to visit your grave! What's the use of keeping those cold numbers?"
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly, “These cold numbers can get me into the top of the Forbes Global Rich List.”
"So what if you're number one! What's there to be proud of? Not having a wife and kids is the most pathetic thing."
"Many people in this world may envy those who are on the Forbes Top 1 list, but no one will envy an ordinary person who has both a son and a daughter. You and Dad have both a son and a daughter in your lives, but whose name is on the Forbes Top 1 list, yours or his?"
Madam Shen rolled her eyes at him, "Fine, fine, you're amazing, you're number one, you can fly a plane in the sea!"
Yun Haotian was amused by the humorous and witty Old Madam Shen and burst out laughing.
Grandma's fighting power is indeed formidable!
Madam Shen looked at Shen Jingnian and narrowed her eyes. "What goes around comes around. Everyone will encounter someone they love but cannot have! When the sky is arrogant, it will rain; when a person is arrogant, disaster will follow. Boy, your road to winning back your wife is sure to be miserable!"
Love but cannot get it?
Pursuing his wife?
A sneer appeared in Shen Jingnian's eyes. "Mom, look out the window."
Looking out the window?
Madam Shen turned her head in a daze.
Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, a gentle breeze blew, and there was nothing unusual.
"What's going on outside the window?"
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly, "It's not even dark yet, and you're already talking in your sleep."
