Chapter 685 - Shen Tangtang, Your Father is a Little Fierce
All the nightmares in the past were then completely cut off.
Finally, in the winter of her 18th birthday, she had ushered in a new life.
Old Master Gu said, “When Ah Li returns home and recognizes her ancestors, there will be a formal banquet to reintroduce Ah Li’s identity. However, Ah Li has been busy with her studies recently, so we’ll set the time for January. How about it?”
Naturally, no one had any objections to this suggestion.
Gu Tingfeng suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh right, Ah Li, the No. 7 Villa at Jinshui No. 1 Courtyard has been tidied up. You may move in immediately today.”
The formalities were also being processed. Later on, it would be transferred to her name.
Before Shen Li could react, she heard Shen Zhijin speak up from the side.
“I’ve always maintained Ah Li’s room in Skyleaf City. She can move in at any time.”
The air was quiet for a moment.
Elder Mei turned his head to ask, “Ah Li, where would you like to stay?”
She usually stayed on campus, but she did not spend much time in the school dormitory.
So now, she had to decide where she would stay.
Shen Li hesitated for a moment.
“Skyleaf City, it’s closer to the school.”
Shen Zhijin heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Old Master Gu and the others felt regretful, this was Shen Li’s choice, so naturally, they had to respect it. “Then we’ll go with Ah Li’s decision.”
After resolving these matters, Old Master Gu and the others were finally willing to go back and rest.
They did not leave the Capital immediately, but decided to stay here for a few more days.
As for Gu Tingchuan and Gu Tingyun, they were sent back to Hong Kong City to handle matters.
Standing at the entrance of Jinse Bay, Shen Zhijin looked at Shen Li after sending off the members of the Gu family.
“Ah Li, all your things are in Shiyuan Shijia, right?”
Shen Li said, “Most of them are there, but some of them are at Rong–“
Her voice suddenly stopped.
Shen Zhijin’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly realized something.
His gaze shifted slightly, and his gaze fell on Lu Huaiyu, who was standing beside him. There was no expression on his face.
“There are still some things at Rongyue Mansion?”
The air was silent.
Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment and said seriously, “Yes, Ah Li’s painting is with me.”
Hmm, there were also some clothes, Shoes, and other daily necessities... Probably...
After a long while, Shen Zhijin said coldly, “Then, we should move everything that should be moved to Skyleaf City.”
Five minutes later, Shen Li left in Shen Zhijin’s car, leaving Old Master Lu and Lu Huaiyu behind.
Old Master Lu looked at the car that was gradually leaving, his face full of worry.
“Huaiyu.”
He let out a long sigh.
“I’ve realized that Shen Zhijin is also a very difficult person to deal with!”
Lu Huaiyu was silent for a moment.
“Teacher Shen is more strict.”
Elder Mei opened the door and shouted at the grandfather and grandson.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
Old Master Lu was very dissatisfied.
“Mei Yanqing, no matter what, we have been friends for a lifetime. Today, you didn’t even help to say a single word. Aren’t you going a little overboard?”
Elder Mei sneered.
“Lu Qishan, I already gave you face by not revealing the fact that your grandson took advantage of Ah Li before her birthday! Don’t be ungrateful! If the Gu family and Shen Zhijin found out about this, would Lu Huaiyu even still be standing here?”
When this was mentioned, Old Master Lu’s imposing manner was suddenly reduced by half.
His lips moved, and he muttered, “... It’s not my fault. Besides, I tried to advise him back then! If you want to scold someone, just scold Huaiyu. Why are you scolding me?”
Lu Huaiyu, “...”
Elder Mei glanced at Lu Huaiyu, snorted heavily, and closed the door.
The cold wind was chilly.
Lu Huaiyu took his phone out and sent a message.
Shen Li was sitting in the passenger seat of Shen Zhijin’s car when her phone vibrated.
She took it out and looked at it.
[ Shen Tangtang, your father seems a little fierce.]
Shen Li typed a line of words.
[ Didn’t you say that he has a good temper? ]
Lu Huaiyu read the reply and clicked his tongue lightly.
There were some things that could not be said with too much confidence.
...
Shen Zhijin followed Shen Li back to Shuiyuan Shijia and hired a moving company to help.
Fortunately, she did not have many things. After a few trips, she was almost completely done moving
Shen Zhijin’s flat in Skyleaf City had four rooms and two living rooms.
From the day he had suspected Shen Li’s identity, he had already tidied up her bedroom.
Standing in the living room, Shen Zhijin raised his finger and pointed. “This is your bedroom. Next to it is the studio.”
Studio.
That had originally been meant for Yin Yin and had been left empty all these years.
Shen Zhijin had never thought that the studio would one day have a master.
Shen Li nodded slightly.
This was the second time she had come here.
Previously, she had come to deliver Shen Zhijin’s contract. Never had she ever thought that she would come here again in this capacity.
She pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom. Suddenly, she was stunned.
This was because this room had actually been decorated.
The whole room had been decorated in simple and warm hues of pink and blue. The pony doll had been placed at the head of the bed. The chandelier above looked like a burst of twinkling stars. An astronomical telescope had been set up on the balcony.
It did not look like an empty room that had never been occupied before.
Shen Zhijin stood behind her. Seeing that she was in a daze, the corners of his lips curved into a faint smile.
“Before you were born, we had imagined many times what your room would look like. This used to be a child’s room. Later, when you were older, it was changed to this. I just didn’t know if you would like it.”
Shen Li blinked and said softly, “Yes, I like it.”
She walked in and quickly put her things in order.
After half an hour, she came out of the bedroom and saw Shen Zhijin standing in front of the glass cabinet in a daze.
“Dad.”
She called out.
Shen Zhijin looked over. He seemed to remember something and smiled.
“When I asked you for that album, I didn’t expect it to come back to you in the end.”
Shen Li walked over.
Actually, she had not expected this either.
The last time she had seen this glass cabinet, she had looked at it for a long time.
Who would have thought that from the very beginning, these had always been meant for her?
Shen Zhijin raised his hand.
“This wooden block was a present for your third birthday.
“This doll was a Christmas present for you when you were five years old and I went on a business trip to Grand.
“And this crystal hairpin. I saw it on my colleague’s daughter and thought it was very beautiful, so I bought one for you.”
At that time, his colleague had said that girls of that age liked to dress up.
Shen Li listened quietly.
Shen Zhijin spoke for a while before turning back to look at her.
“But now that you’ve grown up, you don’t need these anymore.”
Shen Li was silent for a long while. The corners of her lips curled up, and there seemed to be a glimmer in her eyes.
“No, they’re very beautiful. I like them all.”
She had not had these things when she was young
She had not expected that one day, these would be given back to her in this way.
“Dad, what would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook–“
As Shen Li spoke, she opened the fridge door, only to find that there were pitifully few things inside.
“... Why don’t we go to buy some ingredients first?”
She closed the fridge door.
“I remember that there’s a large-scale supermarket on Fengyuan Road?”
Shen Zhijin suddenly thought of something and slowly said, “We don’t have to go that far. There’s one in the community which is run by a retired teacher from the school.” He said, “Let’s just go there.”
