Chapter 129 The old house of the Shi family
Shi Yanzhou had just left the community when he received a call from his father.
Shi Yanzhou saw his cell phone ringing, and he answered the call after connecting to Bluetooth.
"Is there something wrong?" Cold voices spread.
"Today is my birthday, why don't you go home?"
"too busy."
"Come back now, I have something to tell you?"
"Can't we talk on the phone?"
"Come back, it's hard to explain over the phone."
Shi Yanzhou didn't want to go back at first, but when he thought about the things in the old house, he agreed.
"understood."
An hour later, Shi Yanzhou drove to the Shi family's old house.
***
The old house of the Shi family.
Shi Yanzhou drove the car into the yard. He could not remember when was the last time he returned to the old house.
"Young Master, you're back." The butler was extremely happy to see Shi Yanzhou coming back.
Since the death of the old chairman, the eldest master of the family has rarely returned to the old house.
Since his divorce from the young mistress, the eldest master has changed completely.
Later, when the old chairman passed away, he became even colder.
The eldest young master is rarely seen throughout the year. The only time he can be seen is on the death anniversary of old chairman Shi.
In the second year after Shi Yanzhou and Si Yao divorced, Chairman Shi passed away due to illness.
"Yeah." Shi Yan hummed and walked into the living room.
"Young Master."
"Young Master."
"You're back." Shi Heng saw his son.
"Is there something?" Shi Yanzhou looked at his father expressionlessly.
"Let's talk about it after dinner."
"Say something quickly."
"It's my birthday today, let's have a reunion dinner at home."
"You and your family can eat. If you don't want to talk, I will leave first."
The story of a loving father and a filial son never belonged to him, as his biological mother died when he was five years old.
Less than half a year after his biological mother Xu Qinghan passed away, the man in front of him remarried and brought back a son who was only two years younger than him.
His family was gone when he was five years old, so how could there be a reunion dinner?
Later he thought he had a home, but it ended in tragedy. In the end, even the grandfather who raised him left.
"Yanzhou, today is your father's birthday, so just have dinner at home." Stepmother Jiang Lan advised.
Shi Yanzhou knew who she was, but he was too lazy to pay attention.
Shi Yanzhou ignored him and went to the bedroom upstairs.
After he and Si Yao got married, they spent most of their time living in the old house, which contained many of their things.
He had already moved his things to the Imperial Garden, but today he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take a box that he had left in the cabinet.
Shi Yanzhou asked the housekeeper for the key to the bedroom, took the key and walked to the bedroom upstairs. The moment he entered the bedroom, a sense of familiarity hit him.
Shi Yanzhou walked to the cabinet, but found that the box that had been placed in the cabinet was gone.
Shi Yanzhou searched around but couldn't find it. It was the handicraft he and Si Yao had made together at home when they were bored.
Seeing that he couldn't find it, Shi Yanzhou walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs to ask the housekeeper.
"Butler, who entered my room?"
"Master, your room is always locked, no one will enter your room..."
"Then why is the box in the cabinet in my room missing?"
"I'm not sure about this."
"I threw it away." Shi Heng said.
"Who dared to touch my things?" Shi Yanzhou's tone was cold and his eyes were dark.
"I'm your father, I can't touch your things."
Shi Yanzhou sneered, "You... my father?"
"You haven't forgotten that woman yet, have you?"
"What if I forgot? What if I didn't forget?"
"Three years have passed. Do you think she's useful? Maybe she's married and has kids now."
"What are you still thinking about?"
"Do I have to be like you and remarry less than half a year after my wife passed away?" Shi Yanzhou asked sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"You...you are such a traitor."
"Rebellious son." Shi Yanzhou looked at Shi Heng expressionlessly, "Thank you for thinking highly of me."
"Yanzhou, today is your father's birthday. For your aunt's sake, please don't quarrel with your father, okay?"
"Your face? How can a mistress like you who destroys other people's families have any face? Do you want me to see your face? I find it dirty."
"You...you..." Shi Heng was angry at his son's words.
Ever since his grandfather passed away, Shi Yanzhou has become reckless in his speech.
When his grandfather was alive, he always chose to endure for the sake of family harmony that his grandfather talked about.
But now he is alone. His wife, whom he loved, left him, and his grandfather who raised him died of illness. He has nothing to worry about.
Shi Yanzhou walked out of the house and prepared to leave the old house.
As soon as I got on the car, I was stopped by someone with a box in his hand.
"Young Master."
"Auntie Song." Shi Yanzhou opened the car window and saw that the person coming was Auntie Song.
"Is there something wrong? Aunt Song."
"This is for you, young master." Song Ma handed the box to Shi Yanzhou.
"How did this end up in your hands?"
"I know this is the young mistress's stuff. I saw the master had someone throw it away before, so I picked it up."
Si Yao had helped Song Ma before. Song Ma’s son needed money for surgery due to illness, and it was Si Yao who paid for the surgery.
"I've cleaned everything."
"Thank you, Aunt Song." Shi Yanzhou placed the box on his passenger seat as if it were a treasure.
"fine."
"I'm leaving first, Aunt Song."
"Wait a moment, young master." Song Ma called out to Shi Yanzhou.
"what happened?"
Shi Yanzhou looked at Song Ma, who looked hesitant.
After hesitating for a while, Song Ma finally spoke.
"Master, the young mistress didn't have a good life in the old house at first."
Hearing what Song Ma said, Shi Yanzhou's hands on the steering wheel unconsciously tightened.
He had never heard Si Yao say a word or complain.
"You seldom went home because of company matters at the time, and Young Madam was often scolded by the Master and Madam, especially Madam, who often hurt Young Madam in various ways..." Mother Song said what she knew.
Shi Yanzhou, who was standing aside, couldn't help but tear up when he heard what Song Ma said.
"Yaoyao...Yaoyao never told me this."
"The young mistress knew you were busy, and she didn't want to disturb you, so she just endured it silently."
"I see."
After listening to this, Shi Yanzhou felt heavy-hearted. After driving away from the Shi family's old house, he unknowingly came to the downstairs of that building again.
He got out of the car and looked upstairs, but the lights were off.
He stood downstairs and smoked all night. He had no idea that she was not living a good and happy life in the old house.
He was very busy at that time. The Shi Group was in trouble. He was busy like a spinning top every day and had little time to go home and accompany her.
Perhaps it was at that time that something went wrong in their relationship as husband and wife.
Shi Yanzhou stayed downstairs and looked at the bedroom upstairs until it was slightly light before leaving.
After returning to the company, he instructed his assistant to do something.
