    359. Chinese New Year 1

    Although Yan Shengyu didn’t say it clearly, this was a child he raised with his own hands. Zhao Jiaqing could see what he was thinking at a glance, but how was Zhao Jiaqing going to tell him that his father, in order to avenge his mother, actually sent his biological daughter into a pit of fire.

    At first, she blamed Shen Qinglan, thinking that it was because of Shen Qinglan that such a tragic thing happened to Yan Xi. Who would have thought that the person who planned all this was Yan Anbang?

    Zhao Jiaqing didn’t want to believe the truth, but the results of the investigation were so clearly before her eyes that she couldn’t tolerate disbelief.

    At the Yan family, Qin Yan made a bowl of noodles for Yan Anbang. The screen of Qin Yan’s phone flashed. She pretended not to see it and waited until Yan Anbang went upstairs. Then she walked into the bathroom on the first floor with her mobile phone as scheduled, locked the door, and then dialed the phone number.

    “Madam, the plan is going very smoothly. Zhao Jiaqing is convinced of that matter. What should we do next?”

    Qin Yan smiled, her eyes shining brightly, “Let Yan Anbang and Zhao Jiaqing fight for the rest. The Shen family has been peaceful for so long, and it’s time to make some noise for it. Our Mrs. Shen always thought that the loss of her daughter was her own fault, and she went insane. This is so pitiful. We must tell her the truth of the matter.”

    “I understand, I will make arrangements immediately.”

    “Wait a minute, I’ll handle this myself. You just need to take care of the rest.”

    “Okay, ma’am.”

    After hanging up the phone, Qin Yan smiled enchantingly, “Shen Qinglan, don’t say I don’t love you. Giving you the last stable year is the greatest kindness I can show you. Who made my daughter like you so much? She likes you so much that she is willing to die for you. What a fool.”

    In Beijing, this year is New Year’s Eve. Early in the morning, Shen Qinglan heard the noise outside, which was the sound of other children playing in the courtyard. She got up from the bed, and then she realized that Fu Hengyi had squeezed out all the toothpaste for her.

    Shen Qinglan smiled slightly. Fu Hengyi’s leg strength has recovered a lot in the past two days, and he can freely switch between the wheelchair and the bed on his own. However, she usually wakes up as soon as Fu Hengyi wakes up. Today, she didn’t hear any movement. It’s all because she and Fu Hengyi were too late last night and went to bed too late.

    She looked a little annoyed and washed up quickly.

    “Qinglan, come and have breakfast. Aunt Zhao made the stew today and it tastes very good.” Aunt Zhao greeted Shen Qinglan when she saw her.

    Shen Qinglan smiled slightly and said, “The braised food made by Aunt Zhao always tastes good.”

    Aunt Zhao brought a bowl of steaming braised pork in front of Shen Qinglan, “You can eat more if you like. There is still some in the pot. Heng Yi and the old man don’t like this. I made noodles for them. If you want to eat, I will bring you some.”

    “No, this is enough for me. I can’t eat noodles. Where are grandpa and Heng Yi?”

    “The two of them disappeared early this morning. I don’t know what they were doing. Don’t worry, Xiao Liu is following.” Aunt Zhao said. Xiao Liu is the aunt Fu Hengyi invited before. Because something happened at home some time ago, she asked for leave and just came back two days ago.

    Fu Hengyi saw that she was diligent and took good care of Shen Qinglan, so he didn’t plan to change her.

    “Qinglan, you eat first. When you’re done, put the bowl on the table. I’ll wait and put it away. I’ll make the noodles first,” Aunt Zhao said.

    Shen Qinglan nodded.

    Shen Qinglan had just finished eating when Shen Junyu came over. Shen Qinglan saw snowflakes on his shoulders and asked, “Is it snowing outside?”

    Shen Junyu nodded, “The snow is not light yet, so I’ll come to pick you up.” Fu Hengyi didn’t care, Shen Qinglan couldn’t fall now.

    When Shen Junyu saw what Shen Qinglan was eating, his eyes lit up and he walked to the kitchen, “Aunt Zhao, have you made braised pork? Is there any more?”

    Aunt Zhao smiled, “Yes, it’s in the pot. You can serve it yourself.”

    Shen Junyu was not polite. He took a bowl and filled it with a bowl of braised pork. He gave a thumbs up while eating, “Aunt Zhao, your braised pork is the most authentic. Even the chefs in five-star hotels are not as skilled as you.”

    Aunt Zhao smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, “You have a really sweet mouth. Can the chef of a five-star hotel make such a little thing? Only you and Qinglan like to eat it, while Hengyi and Xiaoyang don’t like it.”

    “That’s because they don’t know how to appreciate it.”

    After eating a bowl of steaming stewed stew, Shen Junyu felt that his whole body was getting warm, and then he realized that he didn’t see Fu Hengyi and Mr. Fu.

    “Grandpa and Fu Hengyi went somewhere early in the morning. I didn’t see anyone when I got up.” Shen Qinglan said.

    The two people they care about are currently in the cemetery. Last night, Mr. Fu had a dream about his son and daughter-in-law who had passed away for many years. When he got up early this morning, he planned to come to see them. He happened to meet Fu Hengyi who had just gotten up, and they came over together.

    Fu Hengyi is away from home all year round, and he rarely even sees his grandfather at home, let alone his parents.

    Mr. Fu looked at the photos of his son and daughter-in-law on the tombstone and said softly, “I haven’t dreamed about your parents for a long time. The last time I dreamed about them was a year ago. Time flies so fast. In just one year, you got married and you are about to become a father.”

    Fu Hengyi was carried up by the old man’s guards. He looked at the tombstone, listened to the old man’s words, and smiled slightly, “Grandpa, the past is in the past. Your great-grandson will be born soon. Why do you have to immerse yourself in the sorrow of the past? My father and my mother would be sad if they knew that you have been unable to let go for so many years.”

    Mr. Fu sighed, “Grandpa has thought about those things for a long time. I am also a person who came down from the battlefield. Is my awareness of life and death so low?”

    Fu Hengyi chuckled, “Then why is grandpa still feeling sad?”

    Mr. Fu’s eyes widened, “Are you not allowed to hurt Chun Beiqiu once in a while?”

    “That’s not for you.”

    Mr. Fu was so angry that he blew his beard, “You can be angry with me. Fortunately, I still have girl Qinglan, and girl Qinglan is the most considerate. You marrying her is the blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes.”

    Seeing that the old man had regained his energy, Fu Hengyi smiled and said nothing. The old man looked so sad just now. Fu Hengyi was really worried that his grandfather would be irritated. In the past six months, the old man has been in poor health. The doctor said that it is best not to have too many mood swings.

    Being interrupted by Fu Hengyi, the sadness that arose in Mr. Fu’s heart also dissipated. He looked at the tombstone for a while and waved his hands, “Okay, okay, your parents have seen you now. Let’s not stay here. Girl Qinglan doesn’t know we are out yet. Go back early so that she won’t worry.”

    Fu Hengyi was speechless. In the morning, he told Shen Qinglan that the old man had to say no and couldn’t disturb the pregnant woman’s sleep, so he was worried now.

    On the way back, Fu Hengyi called Shen Qinglan directly.

    “Heng Yi and Grandpa Fu are back?” Shen Junyu asked when Shen Qinglan hung up the phone.

    Shen Qinglan nodded, “Well, he said he was going directly to his home, so let us go there first.”

    “Then let’s go. Grandpa has been talking about you early in the morning.” Shen Junyu said. Seeing Shen Qinglan just wearing a down jacket and preparing to go out, Shen Junyu gave her a disapproving look, “It’s so cold outside, how can you wear just this?”

    As he spoke, he took off his scarf and wrapped it around Shen Qinglan’s neck, making sure that Shen Qinglan was wrapped tightly before giving up.

    Shen Qinglan looked at herself wrapped into a ball and was speechless, “Brother, I’m hot.” The body temperature of pregnant women is already high, and she is actually wearing a lot underneath, so she won’t feel cold even if she doesn’t wear a scarf.

    “It’s better to be hot than to be sick. You’re precious right now. Be good and put on your scarf. We’ll take it off when we get home.” Shen Junyu coaxed a child, and Shen Qinglan saw the black lines covering her forehead.

    “Brother, I am twenty-two years old this year and will be twenty-three starting tomorrow.”

    Shen Junyu nodded, “Yeah, brother knows that you are going to be a mother soon and you are an adult, but…” He paused slightly, “Lan Lan, I miss you so much that you are only five years old this year.”

    Shen Qinglan’s eyes flickered and she spoke softly, “Brother, are you getting old?”

    Hearing her joke, Shen Junyu smiled self-deprecatingly, “Maybe you are really old, Lanlan. Watching the child in your belly grow up day by day, brother really feels that he is old.”

    “Then quickly marry Sister Xiyao and have a child, so that you don’t have time to lament that you are old.” Shen Qinglan said lightly.

    Shen Junyu smiled and walked towards Shen’s house with Shen Qinglan.

    Just as he walked to the door of Shen’s house, he saw Shen Junze standing in the snow. He didn’t know how long he had been standing outside, and his body was covered with snowflakes.

    Seeing the two people coming over, he looked embarrassed, “I… I just wanted to come over today to pay my grandpa a New Year’s greeting and give him some New Year gifts.” He held several boxes of gift bags in his hands.

    “You…” Shen Junyu just started to speak, and Shen Junze put the things on the ground. “I won’t go in. Please give these things to grandpa for me. I wish him a happy new year and good health.” After saying that, he ran away.

    Shen Junyu looked at the things thrown on the ground and frowned. Shen Qinglan said lightly, “Take it in. After all, it is for grandpa.”

    Shen Junyu has never paid attention to Shen Junze’s affairs, so naturally he doesn’t know why he changed like this now. Even if Shen Qinglan knew it, he wouldn’t tell it.
