A Grandson

Shen Yu thought he already knew whom Shen Can was looking for. Was that person here as well?

Shen Father and Shen Mother were stunned. Their son had someone extremely important in his life, and they had no idea?

[Mom and Dad probably don't know, but they actually already have a grandson. Forget about Mom and Dad, Big Brother doesn't even know he has a son himself.]

What? A grandson? They already had a grandson? Now, it wasn't just Shen Father and Shen Mother who were stunned.

Shen Yu was stunned himself, though upon further reflection, it wasn't impossible. He truly hadn't taken precautions that night.

Shen Ze, Shen Chi, and Shen Yao were all collectively dumbfounded. What, Big Brother had a child? Did that mean they already had a nephew?

[That was right around the time Big Brother became president. He was still young back then, and he was set up at a banquet.]

[Big Brother was accidentally drugged, then had a relationship with a woman. Ever since then, Big Brother has been trying to find her.]

[It's a pity that Big Brother only knew she was a woman—how was he supposed to find her? The surveillance footage from that day had been tampered with.]

[Heh, I know who it is. It was a girl who once interned at the Shen Corporation named Xu Qingqing.]

[She was in college at the time and came to our company for an internship because of her good performance. As a result, some people in the company said she climbed the ladder by using her face, and Big Brother even spoke up for her.]

Shen Yu recalled the image of Xu Qingqing. Because the Shen Corporation didn't actually hire many interns, he could still remember her if he was impressed.

The girl was very pretty and worked hard. Her direct supervisor had a good impression of her and had even praised her in front of him.

Because interns could stay on at the Shen Corporation to work if they performed well, he knew some of the general situation, even if their supervisors made the final decisions.

So, when others questioned her qualifications for the internship based on her looks that day, he spoke up to help her. But it was just a normal bit of help; after all, it wouldn't look good for the Shen Corporation's reputation otherwise.

[That day, she accidentally ran into Big Brother, who was delirious and being dragged somewhere by someone else. She spoke up to stop it. Come to think of it, it was fortunate that the person was caught off guard and was alone. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to Xu Qingqing.]

[She asked Big Brother for his hotel address and sent him back. Hiss... as for what happened afterward, I won't go into detail. If you know, you know.]

[Actually, she did take emergency contraception later, but she didn't rest well and rushed back to work. She wasn't feeling well, and then she ate something bad at lunch and threw up—she threw the pill right back up.]

[Anyway, it hadn't been absorbed yet, and that kind of medicine isn't one hundred percent effective anyway. In short, she found out she was pregnant later and resigned early.]

[She thought about whether to have an abortion, but she couldn't bear to lose the child. In the end, she took a leave of absence from school and gave birth. She only found time to go back and finish her studies later.]

[Xu Qingqing never thought about coming to find Big Brother. She is a very hardworking and strong-willed person. She didn't covet anything of his, so naturally, she wouldn't come to him. She raised the child alone, and now the boy is five years old.]

Shen Yu didn't expect her to have had a child. It had been a good-intentioned act of help, yet it resulted in her suffering so much afterward. Shen Yu's guilt almost swallowed him whole.

Shen Father and Shen Mother were also shocked. So that girl had been raising the child all by herself? That must have been so tiring. Although they didn't know what their son was thinking, they definitely had to compensate that girl.

[In the plot, Big Brother only goes to find them after receiving news that the woman he's been searching for bore him a child, which is how the accident happens.]

[After the Shen Household experiences the disgrace and death of Shen Ze in a car accident, and the passing of Shen Father and Shen Mother in a plane crash, they face a new blow: Shen Yu meets a landslide on his way to find them.]

[Although he survives in the car, the powerful impact leaves him in a vegetative state.]

The members of the Shen family were silent. The blows their family suffered in the plot were truly a chain reaction—the kind that wouldn't stop until the Shen Household was ruined.

Originally, they had Shen Yu; at the very least, the company wouldn't have faced any turmoil. As for the reputation damaged by the framing of Shen Ze, it would have passed after the online news cycle died down.

But with Shen Yu's accident, the Shen Household was completely finished, because Shen Chi and Shen Yao were basically total strangers to the family business.

The Shen Household would likely be swallowed up by other families very quickly, because their enemies wouldn't give them time to grow.

Hiding behind a wall, Xu Qingqing was already shocked. How could it be possible for Shen Yu to end up in a vegetative state because of looking for them?

Yet, the owner of this inner voice could accurately state her name. One had to know that even Shen Yu himself didn't know who the person from that night was.

Furthermore, it could accurately state the child's age. This was impossible to know unless someone had investigated it. But if one didn't even know who the person from that night was, how could they investigate?

[Big Brother's child will even fight against the child adopted by the main protagonist and his partner in the future—yet another villain. Honestly, is anyone with the blood of our Shen family automatically a villain to Shen Keke?]

[Although this father never accompanied him, he knows it wasn't his father's fault, so he still wants to seek revenge for his father and the Shen family.]

[He doesn't believe that the fall of the Shen family has nothing to do with the protagonist who swallowed the company, or Shen Keke, who took the Shen family's core projects and two plots of land as a dowry.]

[Actually, the reason why he doesn't blame Big Brother was explained very clearly by Xu Qingqing. She told him that his arrival was an accident, and that there were no feelings between his parents, so they couldn't force themselves to be together.]

[Because if she told Shen Yu that she was the person from that night and that there was a child, it would feel exactly like forcing Shen Yu to take responsibility for her. She couldn't do that.]

[She apologized to the child, saying that she had caused him to potentially grow up without a father. If he really missed his father, she would tell him who his father was when he grew up, and let him make his own choice.]

[But if Shen Yu had a family, he wasn't allowed to look for him. Even if he found out by accident, he couldn't compete for anything against the children in Shen Yu's family.]

[After being told that, how could the child still look for his father? Even if he missed him, he wouldn't go looking. It was just hard on that child.]

[However, who would have thought that not long after, Xu Qingqing would see the news of Shen Yu's accident? Although she didn't know Shen Yu had been on his way to find them when it happened, she told the child that Shen Yu was his father.]

[She even took the child to see him, though they only caught a glimpse from far away. She had originally planned to tell the child later, but she didn't know if Shen Yu had a 'later' left.]

Shen Father and Shen Mother felt truly heartbroken for that child after hearing this. He hadn't felt a father's warmth for even a moment, yet he still wanted to avenge his father.

In fact, after the last time, they had checked who that Shen Keke was. He was a child from the other branch of the Shen family.

If he was from that branch, then they all felt that the time Shen Keke crashed into Shen Can had been intentional. After all, who knew how their grandfather's younger brother usually spoke about their branch to his descendants?
