Chapter 250: She Didn’t Have a Home

Shen Hanxing couldn’t be dealt with even after they deployed all sorts of attacks. Why was there such a difficult person in this world?!

On the contrary, after Shen Yong’s anger gradually subsided, his eyes slowly lit up. Who was Ji Yan? He was the CEO of the Ji Corporation, the youngest Asian on the Forbes Rich List, and one of the three magnates of S City. He was an uncrowned king in the business world. He represented endless power, wealth, and status. He represented the benefits that countless people chased after.

Initially, Shen Yong thought that Ji Yan was useless, so he pushed Shen Hanxing over to marry Ji Yan. He did not expect that this move would hit the mark. It just so happened that Ji Yan had recently taken the initiative to take over the west development zone, and it was currently in the limelight. No matter what, Shen Hanxing’s surname was Shen, and half of his blood flowed in her body. He was Shen Hanxing’s biological father. What did this mean? It meant that he was Ji Yan’s father-in-law!

The more Shen Yong thought about it, the more excited he became. He rubbed his hands together, and a smile bloomed on his face. He said, “CEO Ji, this is all a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding… Hanxing is stubborn, and it’s inevitable that she doesn’t get along well with her stepmother and stepsister. Don’t take it to heart.” After saying that, he looked at Shen Hanxing with a loving gaze. He said, “Hanxing, you’re already married. You can’t always be so willful. You have to live well with CEO Ji, understand?”

Shen Hanxing immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.

She had never felt the love of a father until now. Shen Yong poured all his effort into Shen Sisi and never paid much attention to her. But now? Shen Yong suddenly started to care about her? Shen Hanxing only felt that it was laughable. She lowered her eyes and did not say anything.

Her behavior made Shen Yong mistakenly think that she was touched. He laughed even more confidently in his heart. Then, he said, “Your personality is exactly the same as your mother’s. You don’t say a word and you keep everything to yourself. No matter what, I’m still your father. Look at you. After you got married, have you ever returned home?”

Home?

Shen Hanxing felt that it was funny. She raised her head and looked at Shen Yong coldly. She asked calmly, “Where is my home?” In the past nineteen years, she had never stepped into that so-called home. Even when her grandmother was sick and she had no other way to ask for help, she put aside all her pride and begged Shen Yong to lend her some money. But even then, she was unable to enter that so-called home. At that time, the courtyard of their home’s villa was in full bloom in spring. Inside, the sounds of chatting and laughter were warm, and it was bright and beautiful everywhere. Meanwhile, she was kneeling alone at the front door. It was as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, experiencing the coldness alone.

Home? Such a thing? Could it be considered a home? Shen Hanxing only felt that it was laughable.

Ji Yan sensed her emotions and held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with worry. Shen Hanxing took a deep breath and shook her head at him. She was already past the age where she wanted her father’s love. The current her only wanted to cherish everything that she had. These things could no longer hurt her.

Shen Yong was still chattering non-stop. He prattled on, “Of course, it’s your home. The door to your home will always be open to you. What, you don’t want to interact with your father after you’ve married?”

“Mr. Shen, why don’t you ask your wife and daughter first?” Shen Hanxing’s eyes flashed. She said indifferently, “Maybe they don’t welcome me back at all.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Your stepmother and sister aren’t people like that!” Shen Yong deliberately put on a stern face. He continued, “You’re my daughter. Who dares to say no when I ask you to come home? In the next few days, bring CEO Ji home for dinner as well. Do you understand? It’s not good if you don’t come home at all. You should come back to your maiden home once in a while!” As a chauvinist, he had long been used to his wife and daughter being obedient and docile. He treated the Shen family as a place where his words were the only ones that mattered. Thus, he did not notice how nasty Qiao Wei and Shen Sisi’s expressions were after he finished speaking.

Shen Hanxing, who had initially abhorred the thought of entering the Shen family’s house, suddenly became interested when she saw their expressions. She smiled slightly and said, “In that case, I’ll go to the Shen family’s house to visit in a couple of days.”

It was as though he didn’t hear the estrangement in Shen Hanxing’s words, Shen Yong’s face was full of smiles as he said in satisfaction, “That’s right. This is Daddy’s obedient daughter. Then, CEO Ji, you should definitely visit as well when the time comes. No matter what, both of you should come home and have a meal together with us.” Now that he had made up his mind to build a good relationship with Ji Yan, he naturally had to carefully exhort her on this matter to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

The homeroom teacher looked on and felt very tired. In the end, she could only let Shen Hanxing and Shen Sisi partially bear the responsibility. Each of them would have to write three thousand words of self-criticism and reflection. She said, “Alright, tomorrow is the entrance examination. Let’s call it a day.” After saying that, she waved her hand and said, “I don’t think you guys are in the right state for class today. Go home. Come and take the test on time tomorrow.”
