Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

Shen Rong's company has been in a lot of trouble recently.

Either the tax bureau comes to your door, or the originally negotiated business deal falls through.

If this continues, the company, which was originally in a very good momentum, will gradually go downhill.

He later paid a heavy price to realize that all this was because he had offended someone.

After thinking about it, Shen Rong thought of He Hui.

A further check sent a chill down his spine.

Many prominent figures in Xiaozhou City came from Ningshan Middle School and had connections with He Hui.

He spent another large sum of money to investigate He Hui's whereabouts since he left his house last time.

This investigation made him feel even more disappointed.

In the end, Shen Rong had no choice but to sell his villa and raise money.

Carrying large and small bags, they came to the He family.

He didn't want to sell the villa. You know, housing prices are rising now. It would be difficult to buy it back after selling it.

But the company is in financial difficulty now, and he doesn't want to take on too much debt.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was all my fault before. I'm here to apologize to you." Shen Rong smiled shamelessly and walked into the He family's door.

He Hui sneered: "No, I'm not your father-in-law, you called the wrong person."

"That's right. We didn't recognize you before our daughter died. Now that she's dead, there's no need for you to call her that." Yu Hongyan didn't have a good look on her face towards Shen Rong.

"Father and mother-in-law, it was indeed my fault for hiding Chen Min's death. I was mainly afraid of your blame at that time, so I left with Chen Min but did not let her live well, causing her to have such an accident. I have felt very uncomfortable over the years, and even married Zhang Zhen later, mainly to take care of the two children."

Shen Rong pretended to be heartbroken.

"Don't talk nonsense. The only relationship between our two families is the two children. I said last time that if you come over, it will not be the same condition as last time." He Hui didn't want to watch Shen Rong acting, so he went straight to the point.

Shen Rong fell to his knees with a plop.

"Father and mother-in-law, all the mistakes are my fault, but my company has just started and it is a difficult time. I will give the child support, and I also promised to give the money to them when the children reach adulthood. This was my original plan. Please give me a way out."

"There's no point in saying that. If you want to kneel, just kneel. We can also withstand your knees." He Hui was unmoved.

How could Shen Rong's little tricks escape his eyes?

This is what Shen Mo and Shen Ying saw when they returned home.

Shen Ying's big eyes blinked. She had never seen her father so humble before.

She timidly called out "Dad," seeming very helpless.

"Yingying, Shen Mo, Dad is here to see you. Do you miss him?" Facing his two children, Shen Rong tried to soften his tone, hoping to use his children to establish a good relationship with He Hui.

Originally, Shen Rong thought that He Hui was just a principal who was about to retire. He had no power or influence and had nothing to do with him at all. Who would have thought that an old man who was about to retire had such a huge network of contacts?

Now Shen Rong regrets his decision.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's go upstairs."

Shen Mo ignored Shen Rong's flattery, greeted his grandparents, and went upstairs with his sister.

He ignored Shen Rong in the living room the whole time.

Seeing this, Shen Rong was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he still had to stop the two of them.

"Shen Mo, Shen Ying, Dad knows he was wrong. Can you please forgive him?"

Shen Ying looked at Shen Mo, and saw Shen Mo shaking his head at her, so Shen Ying turned her face away.

Shen Mo pulled her up the stairs.

At the entrance of the room, where people downstairs couldn't see, Shen Mo made a gesture to his sister to keep quiet, pulled Shen Ying to sit cross-legged, and listened to the movements downstairs.

"Brother, we..." Shen Ying said in a low voice.

"Do you want to forgive him?"

After all, Shen Ying is only a thirteen-year-old child who still desires family affection. It is normal for her to feel soft-hearted when she sees Shen Rong kneeling down.

"I don't know. He wronged us and sent us to the countryside to fend for ourselves. I hate him." Shen Ying expressed her feelings.

He frowned and continued, "Grandpa brought us to find him, but he didn't agree to Grandpa's conditions. I don't like him either, but just now I saw him kneeling in front of Grandpa and Grandma to confess. I thought of the good times in the past, and I felt sad again. Brother, I don't know what's going on? I don't know whether I should forgive him or not."

"It's okay. It's normal for you to react like this. But you have to know one thing. Mom is gone, and he is already someone else's father. The reason he knelt in front of grandpa and grandma was that he just wanted to save his company. Grandpa paid a lot for the two of us, and he used a lot of connections to get my father's repentance. And favors are often gone once they are used. In this case, do you still want to forgive him?"

"Brother, you mean to say that he was kneeling in front of grandpa just putting on a show for us, right?" Shen Ying opened her eyes wide.

"It may not be a show, he really wants to save the company." Shen Mo wanted Shen Ying to analyze right and wrong by herself. It would not be good for Shen Ying to block him blindly.

Girls mature early and can understand many things at a glance.

The reason why Shen Ying still has good intentions towards Shen Rong is that she longs for family affection. She lost her mother at the age of five, and her stepmother was originally a good substitute, but children naturally have a scale in their hearts between sincerity and falsehood.

So the little girl had excessive expectations of fatherly love, and Shen Rong was not an object of expectation.

"He came here just to save the company, and he didn't really come to repent?!" The stars in Shen Ying's big eyes faded away little by little.

Shen Mo nodded.

"I don't want to forgive him, brother. I don't want a dad anymore. From now on, I will just think that the dad who once loved us is dead."

"It's good that you think so." Shen Mo hugged his sister in his arms, letting Shen Ying's tears fall silently on his shoulders.

Cry! Only after you vent your emotions can you truly grow up. Shen Mo silently thought in his heart.

I could hear the verbal battle going on downstairs.

Shen Rong did not want to give in easily. He knew that only by controlling the two children could he gain the right to speak.

But the company is his weak point.

If you want to keep the company going, you must agree to He Hui's conditions.

He was extremely reluctant, but in the end he had no choice but to "cede territory and pay compensation."

Shen Rong needs to pay the compensation for that year and the interest over the years in one lump sum to the two children, totaling 120,000 yuan.

After Shen Rong sold the house and deducted miscellaneous items, he got a total of 138,000 yuan. The half that belonged to He Chenmin was 69,000 yuan.

He Hui also asked his two children to inherit He Chenmin's portion of their savings.

He Chenmin is not only good at budgeting, but also good at investing.

Although Shen Rong tried his best to conceal this part of the property, He Hui also had connections in the bank. With just one phone call, the students there helped him retrieve He Chenmin's account from that year.

At first glance, there was a total of 200,000 yuan in savings, which was a considerable amount of money for an office worker who had just entered the 1990s.

In the end, Shen Rong gave the two children a total of 289,000 yuan, and the whole matter was settled.

Shen Rong's heart was bleeding.
