After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

Shen Jichen laughed and teased Gu Minzhi again. After a while, he seemed to notice Shen Yunzhou sitting in the corner of the sofa. His smiling face darkened. "Don't you think this is your home? Why are you back?"

The atmosphere suddenly sank to the bottom, and the entire living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Yunzhou glanced at Shen Yunzhou, then turned his gaze back to Shen Jichen, "Dad, don't say that about my brother."

"I am stating the facts. Isn't this rebellious son getting too independent and wanting to leave the Shen family and disown me as his father? If that's the case, why did he come back?"

His voice was a little louder, and his face was not very good. Shen Minghe was frightened by such a father. Seeing this, Gu Minzhi hurriedly said, "Just talk if you want to. Why are you so loud? Look how scared the child is!"

Shen Jichen quickly softened his voice, "Xiao He, don't be afraid, Daddy is not targeting you."

Then he looked at Shen Yunzhou again, his tone was not as soft as before, "What did you come back for?"

Shen Yunzhou saw clearly the obvious difference in treatment. He had experienced this frequently since his mother passed away.

He's used to it.

If I go through this again, I will feel nothing but chill in my heart.

"Don't worry, I'll just say a few words and leave right after that. I won't be a nuisance to you."

Shen Ji Chen's brows were twisted together. Look at this rebellious son. What nonsense is he saying? What does he mean by just leaving after saying it?

Does he really want to sever ties with the Shen family?

Shen Yunzhou saw his reaction, his expression remained calm, "I want to break off the engagement with the Jiang family."

"Break off the engagement?" Shen Ji Chen suddenly raised his voice, frowned, and glared at him angrily.

Shen Yunzhou showed no fear at all and looked him straight in the eye. "The engagement with the Jiang family was only made verbally between Grandpa and Old Master Jiang. No tokens were exchanged. It shouldn't be difficult to cancel the engagement."

"That's easy for you to say! The Jiang family is eager to marry their daughter to our Shen family. How could they easily agree to cancel the engagement?"

Shen Yunzhou looked at him, his calm eyes showing a hint of coldness. "Father has been in the business world for many years, so he must have seen through the Jiang family's intentions. They have always been on the sidelines with regard to the Shen family and this marriage."

He said father, not dad.

At this moment, Shen Yunzhou really couldn't call the middle-aged man in front of him "Dad".

After his mother passed away, he seemed to have always been like this. He would never speak to him properly, and would never listen to his explanations calmly.

When you treat him, he is always like a lit gunpowder, ready to explode at any time.

If I had never experienced his care and seen his kind face, he would probably forgive me with a smile.

Because he is the same to everyone.

But that's not the case.

When his mother was alive, he was held in his father's arms and his father smiled at him.

But after his mother passed away, everything changed. He became strict and never smiled again.

Later, his stepmother came into the family and Shen Minghe was born. He saw his past shadow in his father again.

But these are not for him.

He would hold Shen Minghe in his arms and agree to all of Shen Minghe's requests, including parent-teacher meetings, which seemed so trivial to him in the past, and he would attend them in person.

But what about him?

He didn't even know what grade he was in or which class he was in.

All of his parent-teacher meetings were attended by his secretary.

In his more than ten years of studying, not even one teacher had seen his father...

How could he call out "Dad" with years of accumulated emotions weighing on his heart?

Shen Ji Chen was obviously also angry. He had a sullen face and said nothing.

Shen Yunzhou glanced at them calmly, his face full of alienation and indifference, "With my father's many years of experience in the business world, he would know that if the Shen family was still as powerful as before, then the Jiang family would be the ones to take the initiative to cancel the engagement today."

"Does my father really want to marry into this family that is so ambitious and incompetent and who loves the rich over the poor?" He looked at Shen Ji Chen, with a hint of inquiry in his cold eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, father has probably thought about breaking off the engagement a long time ago, so why would he pretend to be so righteous? If it's just to avoid agreeing to my request easily, then father is really putting a lot of effort into it!"

"What do you mean!" Shen Ji Chen glared at him.

"Father knows what I mean. Do you dare to say that you have never thought of breaking off the engagement?"

The living room fell silent again. Gu Minzhi looked at the two people who were on the verge of a fight, and couldn't help but think of the time when Mr. Jiang came to her house not long ago and Shen Jichen told him that he wanted to cancel the engagement.

But she still didn't understand today. Ji Chen clearly had the idea of ​​canceling the engagement in his mind, so why didn't he go along with it when Shen Yunzhou brought it up? Instead, his words and actions showed that he didn't intend to cancel the engagement?

What on earth is Shen Jichen thinking?

Do you want to quit? Or do you not want to quit?

Shen Yunzhou looked at Shen Jichen, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down and looking angry, and continued, "No matter what my father thinks, I'm going to cancel this marriage!"

"Just you? What qualifications do you have to retreat?"

"You are neither qualified to withdraw nor to marry."

"What do you mean?"

Shen Yunzhou looked at him with a cold gaze, "Father, have you forgotten that I moved out of the Shen family a long time ago? I even claimed to the public that I had no relationship with the Shen family at all. But in the end, this matter was not made public, and many people did not know about it."

"In order to avoid trouble, I took the initiative to come to my father to talk about breaking off the engagement, but if my father insists on keeping this engagement, then from today on, I, Shen Yunzhou, will officially sever my father-son relationship with you and leave the Shen family."

These words were extremely harsh, and Shen Ji Chen was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing.

"Asshole! Asshole! Are you going to sever the relationship between you and me as father just for a marriage?"

"Just for a marriage?" Shen Yunzhou looked at him, his eyes as calm as water. "You said you are my father, but ask yourself, have you ever given me a trace of fatherly love since my mother passed away?"

After a pause, he continued, "Let's not lie to ourselves. Since we both find each other annoying, why not end this relationship early?"

"Finished? Do you think it's that easy to finish? Over the years, what did you eat, wear, and use? Wasn't it all given to you by me?"

"Then you tell me a number, and I'll pay you all the fees from the age of one to eighteen."

Shen Jichen suddenly fell silent. From one to eighteen...

Indeed, after he turned eighteen, he moved out and never took a penny from his family again.

But even before he was eighteen, the money spent on him didn't seem to be much.

In my memory, the boy always wore unbranded clothes, simple and plain. If he didn't have a noble face and an extraordinary temperament, no one would believe that this child was the eldest son of the Shen family.

He seemed to be a little too harsh on him...

But if jade is not carved, it cannot become a useful object.
