Chapter 126 Big Change
When Shen Yanqiu heard the news, his beautiful face remained completely expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.
He sat there quietly, his eyes deep and serene, making it impossible for anyone to discern his true thoughts.
That's an enormous fortune! Enough to drive countless people crazy, but Shen Yanqiu remained so calm and composed, as if he himself hadn't received it.
He gently picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the warm tea, and his movements were elegant and natural.
Zhu Tingyue couldn't detect any joy or excitement in his expression or actions at that moment.
"I forgot to tell you last time, Shen Yingchu did give me a card with no credit limit, and I used it to withdraw cash!"
"Huh?" Zhu Tingyue genuinely didn't know about this. "How did you get it?"
"It's just that... when the company needed funds, I always used this card to make the payments. And... and some of it was from reselling luxury goods."
"This?" Zhu Tingyue looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Luxury goods can be resold?"
"Sure! Shi Yuan told me!"
Zhu Tingyue no longer believed Shi Yuan: "He's not lying to you, is he?"
Shen Yanqiu shook his head: "No, he's not that kind of person."
Zhu Tingyue thought of something and inquired about Shi Yuan: "What kind of person is Shi Yuan?"
"Shi Yuan? He's a great guy! I didn't have any money back then, so he brought funds from home to invest. Later, when we made some money, he even..."
“No, I don’t want to ask about his job, I want to ask what he is like as a person,” Zhu Tingyue interrupted him.
"He's a great person, warm-hearted and righteous, and he handles things very well! Colleagues who have worked with him all speak highly of him."
"You also rave about him? You really like him?" Zhu Tingyue joked.
"How could that be?" Shen Yanqiu jumped up immediately. "I would never like him! We're just ordinary colleagues, at most ordinary business partners! I would never like him!"
Zhu Tingyue pressed him down onto the sofa: "Don't get excited, don't hurt the child!"
Shen Yanqiu touched her belly, which was nearly four months along, and said to Zhu Tingyue, "He's not that fragile, he's perfectly fine!"
“Of course! Don’t you even know who’s carrying him?” Zhu Tingyue loudly echoed him.
“Mom deserves credit too!” Shen Yanqiu said, head down.
I wish Mom has found a new task during this time: to figure out how to make Shen Yanqiu eat well and be happy every day.
She's been incredibly busy lately, practically running around non-stop. So much so that Zhu Tingyue, once the most favored, now pales in comparison, as if she's lost all her luster.
And what about Zhu Mingchuan? Needless to say! The Zhu mother who used to answer his good morning and good night messages so diligently every day has now become so perfunctory, and she can't even be bothered to say a word.
Every time I see him, it's as if I don't even see him.
Zhu Mingchuan felt incredibly frustrated and angry!
Finally, one day, he could no longer contain his anger and decided to teach Shen Yanqiu a lesson.
So, when the family sat around the table to eat, Zhu Mingchuan deliberately picked a fight and started arguing with Shen Yanqiu.
However, to his utter surprise, his actions not only failed to subdue the other party, but also drew a stern rebuke and a harsh lesson from Zhu's mother.
From that day on, Zhu Mingchuan truly learned his lesson and never dared to utter a single complaint against Shen Yanqiu again. He could only obediently keep a low profile and behave himself!
In fact, his way of expressing dissatisfaction was nothing more than speaking ill of Shen Yanqiu to her face and deliberately showing affection and acting pitiful. However, Zhu's mother is now hard-hearted and ignores all his actions.
After making a fool of himself, he would deliberately take away Shen Yanqiu's favorite dishes at the dinner table and put the soup that Shen Yanqiu didn't like in front of him. Such childish things happened one after another.
Shen Yanqiu was very obedient. He would refuse to eat if his food was taken away, and he would pinch his nose and run to the bathroom to vomit if a soup he didn't like was placed in front of him, without uttering a single complaint.
But each instance of vomiting and his pale complexion was a silent form of resistance.
Zhu's mother remained silent, only blaming Zhu Mingchuan, and even physically assaulted him.
After some time, Zhu Mingchuan became well-behaved. The incident of him turning the table when Shen Yanqiu picked up food never happened again. At most, he would give him a few unfriendly glances.
While Shen Yanqiu thought he was being childish, she couldn't help but think, isn't this just what people call mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts?
She felt like an outsider, while they were the family. Zhu Mingchuan's dislike for her was just like any mother-in-law's dislike for her daughter-in-law—it made no sense.
Fortunately, Zhu Tingyue was on her side, as was her mother. With the two of them around, she was much better off than those daughters-in-law who were bullied by their mothers-in-law!
How lucky I am! I gave birth to the child myself, my wife is on my side, and my mother-in-law cares about me. Compared to that, Zhu Mingchuan's underhanded tricks are nothing!
"Hey, snap out of it! What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed!" Zhu Tingyue gently shook his arm and asked him.
"It's nothing, I love you!"
Shen Yanqiu also felt that he had changed a lot. In the past, he would never have said such words to express his longing.
But now, he can say it almost anytime, anywhere, and his vocabulary is quite rich. He can say things like "I love you" and "I miss you" without hesitation. Sometimes he even asks Zhu Tingyue: "Do you love me? Do you miss me?"
Not only that, he also learned how to act cute!
Zhu Tingyue said he was being affectionate, but he didn't think so. It was just things like: "I can't sleep because I miss you. Can you come back and keep me company? My child and I miss you!" These were just ordinary words. How could they be considered being affectionate?
Although he never said it out loud, he had already rehearsed it many times in his mind!
That's why I can do it so easily now! It's definitely not because Zhu Tingyue's favoritism made me arrogant!
Zhu Tingyue was once again rendered speechless by his words. Shen Yanqiu was constantly redefining her understanding of him.
"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence!" The ancients were right.
“I love you too!” Zhu Tingyue continued, then quickly added, “I love you the most!”
There was nothing she could do. Last time, she fell silent after Shen Yanqiu finished speaking, and Shen Yanqiu was angry about it for several days. She had to hug and kiss him repeatedly to coax him back to peace.
Having learned her lesson, she began to respond immediately to whatever Shen Yanqiu said, never giving him a chance to get angry.
She's pregnant now, so she's delicate and precious. If she's in a bad mood, her mother will definitely hold her accountable right away.
"Are you silently thinking about me because you're not saying anything?" Shen Yanqiu asked, staring at the lost Zhu Tingyue.
