Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Shen Sinian was stood up by his parents again.

This was not the first time that they were unable to make it back to be with him on his birthday. Every time they said they would come back, they would always be delayed by various work and people, and thus were unable to fulfill the promise they made to him.

Shen Sinian stood on the brightly lit second floor, looking gloomily at the guests toasting downstairs, feeling unhappy.

"Si Nian," his grandmother Sang Menglan called him upstairs, "our relatives and friends are here, we should go downstairs."

Shen Sinian was wearing a custom-made suit with exquisite texture. His hair was cut short, revealing his handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. "Grandma."

Without moving, he looked at her and asked, "I don't want to go down yet."

Sang Menglan saw him like this and knew why he was in a bad mood. "Your parents said before that they could come back, but there was a heavy rain in Ningcheng and their flight was cancelled, so they couldn't--"

Before Sang Menglan could finish her words, Shen Sinian interrupted unhappily, "They always say that."

This year is Shen Sinian's 17th birthday. Since he was born, his parents have rarely spent birthdays with him. Since he was a child, his grandparents, including the servants at home, have comforted him by saying that they are too busy with work and he should learn to understand them.

But Shen Sinian didn't understand, what were they busy about. The Shen family was so rich, with so many people making money, and they wouldn't go bankrupt if they took a day off occasionally.

Shen Sinian, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world. He just wants his parents to spend more time with him instead of running around outside 360 ​​days out of 365 days a year.

Hearing what he said, Sang Menglan felt a little helpless, "Your mother and the others this time..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Sinian turned around with a cold face and walked to the end of the corridor, "Sinian, where are you going?"

Shen Sinian put on a young master's temper: "I won't celebrate this birthday."

He ignored Sang Menglan's call and walked out of the back door of the villa.

The moonlight was bright in Jiangcheng. Shen Sinian was walking alone down the mountain from his villa halfway up the mountain, his shadow stretched out very long.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw someone begging on the side of the road. He glanced at her casually and saw an old lady calling him, "Young man, can you give me five dollars?"

Shen Sinian subconsciously reached into his pocket, but there was no money in it. He looked at the old woman with ragged clothes and gray hair, and thought of the charity work his parents had done for many years, and whispered, "Grandma, can you wait here for me for a while?"

The old lady looked at him and said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't have money."

"No, I'll go get it now." Shen Sinian said, "Wait for me here, I'll be back in twenty minutes."

After saying that, he took a step forward with his long legs and ran towards the busy place.

He left in a hurry, not to mention money, he didn't even bring his cell phone. But today was his birthday, and the suit he was wearing, including the cufflinks and watch, were all specially matched and worn.

He has no money, but he can be a watch.

The watch on his wrist was a gift his father ordered for him on his seventeenth birthday.

Shen Sinian liked it very much when he received it in the morning, and he was actually a little reluctant to sell it when he decided to sell it. However, it was his parents who broke their promise first, so he couldn't blame him for not cherishing their kindness.

When the manager asked him if he was sure he wanted to sell the watch, Shen Sinian nodded hesitantly, "Sell."

The boss accepted it with a smile on his face, "Okay, do you want to transfer the money here or what?"

Shen Sinian thought of the old lady just now and asked, "Is it convenient to pay in cash?"

"what?"

Shen Sinian: "Cash, part of it is fine."

"That's no problem." The boss agreed, "Give me 10,000 in cash, and I'll transfer the rest to you."

Shen Sinian nodded.

After getting the cash, Shen Sinian ran back to where he had just been.

The old lady was still there, and when she saw him running back breathlessly, the smile on her face deepened, "Young man, I don't want so much, just five dollars for a bowl of vegetarian noodles."

"Take it." Shen Sinian handed her all the ten thousand yuan. "This is not much at all."

The old lady paused for a moment, then suddenly asked him, "Are you unhappy today?"

Shen Sinian was startled, "Is it so obvious?"

The old lady nodded. "Would you mind telling me about it?"

Shen Sinian hummed, paused, and said, "My parents don't love me at all."

Maybe he was more willing to talk to strangers, or maybe he subconsciously felt that he would never meet the old lady again in his life, so he said some things from the bottom of his heart that he had never told anyone.

At the end, Shen Sinian was very depressed, "Grandma, do you think they have me in their hearts?"

The old lady smiled thoughtfully and said, "I think so."

"But not much, right?" Shen Sinian asked.

The old lady didn't answer him directly. She looked at Shen Sinian for a while and asked, "Is today your seventeenth birthday?"

Shen Sinian nodded.

The old lady mysteriously took something out of the worn-out bag beside her and handed it to him, "Then grandma will give you a birthday present."

Shen Sinian refused, "I can't accept it."

"It's not worth much," the old lady said, "Take it, but it can make one of your wishes come true."

Shen Sinian naturally wouldn't take such words seriously, but the old lady was very warm. He took a look at the small stone she handed to him and saw that it was indeed not a valuable thing, so he took it and said, "Thank you, grandma. Actually, I don't have any special wishes."

He sat on the floor with the old lady, looked at the bright moonlight and said, "I just want them to spend more time with me."

Hearing this, the old lady looked at him and smiled, her eyes curved and her features kind, very much like the old grandmother that Shen Sinian's mother had mentioned to him, whom he had never met.

Just as Shen Sinian realized this, he heard the old lady say, "Your wish will definitely come true."

"..."

After sitting with the old lady for a while, until after eleven o'clock, Shen Sinian slowly walked towards home.

Halfway through the journey, the small stone in his hand suddenly emitted a strange light. Shen Sinian looked closely, but before he could see clearly, an out-of-control sports car was speeding behind him.

Shen Sinian had no time to dodge, and he lost consciousness with a scream.

*

When he regained consciousness, Shen Sinian heard a pleasant female voice, "Shen Yubai, why hasn't he woken up yet? What did the doctor say just now?"

"I didn't hit him." Another voice was cold and familiar. "He was frightened and fainted."

Xu Chu Ning didn't quite believe him, "Are you sure?"

Shen Yubai gave her a cold look, leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, "Xu Chuning, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Chu Ning pursed her lips and was about to speak when the person on the bed struggled to open his eyes. Seeing the blurry figures of the two people not far away, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Mom and Dad, stop arguing."
