The Shan family side is bustling, and the archaeological team side also frequently sends good news, Xiao Li and Brother Yan finally finished their busy days, and had time to chat with Shen Yuhan.
They said there were new discoveries in the tomb, and they asked him if he still remembered ‘Miss Shen’, Shen Yuhan said he remembered, and they told him excitedly that there had been new progress this time, and a lot of information related to him had been unearthed, although it was not the most direct object, it was also a powerful document recording his existence.
Shen Yuhan didn’t dare to speak at this time, he was afraid that his voice would tremble, he asked Xiao Li what kind of information records they had, before Xiao Li could reply, Supervisor Liang called him, and asked him if he could help at the museum in the next two days, with Xiao Li as an ‘internal spy’, Shen Yuhan immediately agreed.
The next day, he took his bodyguard and set off for the Cultural Relics Recovery Center, this time, he didn’t have to squeeze into the cabin with others, his husband quietly bought a plane, which was very convenient, as for the price, Shen Yuhan hadn’t given it a second thought.
Shan Qihuan happened to be on a business trip that day, and the two of them boarded the family’s first plane.
Shen Yuhan walked around in the spacious cabin and even walked around the cockpit for a while, the captain was a handsome middle-aged man, who spoke quite humorously.
Shen Yuhan enjoyed the meals brought by the only stewardess on the plane, these are all prepared by the chef on the spot, which is completely different from ordinary airplane meals, he is now just like at home and can order whatever he wants.
Shan Qihuan had to rush to the next destination, so he didn’t send him to the Cultural Relics Recovery Center.
But before Shen Yuhan left the airport, Shan Qihuan gave him many instructions, he was very worried about him.
Shen Yuhan took the initiative to hug him: “I promise not to go anywhere, I will only run between the hotel and the archaeological team every day, don’t worry, Husband.”
“When have you ever put me at ease?” Shan Qihuan could only sigh, it was unknown whether the two of them were possessed by evil spirits, they often had minor accidents, “When you come back, I’ll take you to burn incense, we have to go to the temple to pay respect.”
“Husband still says I’m superstitious, you’re no better.” Shen Yuhan also teased him.
“Who’s superstitious? I’m just trying to satisfy your hobby.” Shan Qihuan changed his attitude in a second.
“You just make it up.” Shen Yuhan said with a smile, “Husband, send me a message when you arrive at the place.”
Shan Qihuan kissed him before letting go: “Got it, go ahead.”
The two were separated again due to a business trip, but this time, their hearts were not as unstable as before, and they were relatively more at ease.
It wasn’t until Shen Yuhan’s leaving back disappeared from his sight that Shan Qihuan put away the smile on his lips.
He still has an uphill battle to fight now.
He’s indeed going to another city, but it’s not a business trip, it’s a meeting with his eldest brother.
Shan Qihuan had never understood his eldest brother’s attitude, it was reasonable to say that he followed Shan Tianfeng and helped him manage Shan Group all the time, why was he no longer willing to go back to the company to handle affairs after he was hospitalized for liver disease last time, and everything was handed over to him to deal with.
Shan Qihuan doesn’t want to be a puppet on strings, he doesn’t want to be a victim of the Shan family’s infighting, he has his own family, and he has his own people to protect.
–
He met Shan Qiyuan in the capital.
The place where the two met was not a restaurant or an entertainment venue, but a siheyuan1四合院 (sì hé yuàn): Chinese courtyard residence; Chinese quadrangle; courtyard house with a fully enclosed courtyard (type of Chinese residence); siheyuan is a historical type of residence that was commonly found throughout China, most famously in Beijing and rural Shanxi. Throughout Chinese history, the siheyuan composition was the basic pattern used for residences, palaces, temples, monasteries, family businesses, and government offices. Siheyuan refers to a courtyard surrounded by buildings on all four sides. It also appears in English translation as courtyard houses and, less often, as Chinese quadrangles. 
with a grape trellis.
His eldest brother was dressed very casually today, which is rarely seen on weekdays, he looks ten years younger.
Only then did he realize that he didn’t seem to have looked at his eldest brother seriously.
“Big brother, why do you want us to meet here?” Traveled all the way here just to meet his brother? Isn’t it possible in Jiang City?
Shan Qiyuan poured him a cup of tea: “Don’t you want to know why I don’t want to return to the company?”
Shan Qiyuan, who has always been particularly calm and steady, usually has a tight smile at the corners of his mouth, but now there is a smile on his lips.
He said: “I’ve always known about mom and dad’s stupid stories.”
Shan Qihuan: “Is what happened between the three of them true?”
Shan Qiyuan nodded: “I’ve heard them quarreling about this countless times since I was a child, which is also the reason why your second sister and I were often reluctant to go home after you and Qixin were born, don’t look my dad thinks highly of me in the company, in fact I am just a worker, because of what happened back then, he was very prejudiced against me, but he only let me help him because I was the eldest son, and could control the situation.”
Shan Qihuan didn’t understand: “But why me?”
Shan Qiyuan said: “Qihuan, it can only be you, and only you can help me.”
Shan Qihuan asked his own doubts: “Did you inform her to come back? Only you and I knew that Dad was going to have a second surgery.” When she came back, Shan Tianfeng hadn’t yet announced the surgery to the public.
Shan Qiyuan nodded: “Yes, I am the one who has kept in touch with her all these years, but what can I do? I’ve been disliked by Dad since I was born, or rather, it should be said that Dad has never liked any of us. I’m quite envious that you don’t have to look at his cold face, I’m sick of hearing about them.” He sighed with a wry smile.
“Do you want the Shan Group?” Shan Qihuan finally came to this question, in fact, he didn’t care whether he wanted the Shan Group or not, he had the ability to do so.
“It doesn’t matter whether I want it or not, Dad has been preparing to divide the family property recently.” Shan Qiyuan said.
Shan Qihuan’s rationality was always on the line: “But Mom won’t agree to his distribution method, it’s joint property between husband and wife, dad can only distribute his portion if he wants to distribute it.”
Shan Qiyuan told him a secret that no one knew: “Then you may not know, they signed a prenuptial property agreement before they got married, the Shan Group’s shares have nothing to do with her, otherwise, why do you think she was so anxious to come back.”
This news really made Shan Qihuan feel very surprised: “Why?”
Shan Qiyuan said: “Because the Gu family didn’t like Dad back then, it was Mom who insisted on marrying him, the Gu family’s development prospects were very good at that time, moreover, most of the property would be handed over to mom in the future, so my grandparents forced dad to sign a prenuptial agreement before they would be willing to give him the money to allow the Shan family to make a comeback. I guess this is exactly what Dad wants, he also made it clear in the agreement that everything about the Shan Group has nothing to do with Mom.”
“In the end, it’s like the Gu family’s efforts are tantamount to drawing water with a bamboo basket, all in vain2竹籃打水一場空 (zhú lán dǎ shuǐ yī chǎng kōng): lit. fetching water using a bamboo basket, all in vain; as futile as drawing water with a bamboo basket; draw water with a sieve; a metaphor for wasting effort, having no effect, and working in vain., their cleverness makes them became the victims of their own cleverness3聰明反被聰明誤 (cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù): a clever person may become the victim of his own ingenuity (idiom); cleverness may overreach itself; too smart for one’s own good; a wise man can be ruined by his own wisdom; clever people may be victims of their own cleverness; every man has a fool in his sleeve; one thinks one is smart but is delayed or harmed by cleverness.?” No one could have imagined that after the rise of the Shan family, the Gu family would gradually fall into ruin, “Did the Gu family leave nothing for Mom?”
“A useless empty shell, didn’t file for bankruptcy were to save the last face of the Gu family, the Gu family surname was no longer Gu now, it was sold many years ago.” Shan Qiyuan said.
Shan Qihuan and Shan Qixin are both children who have been ‘abandoned’ by their mother, and they’ve hardly seen any relatives from the Gu family, let alone their deceased grandparents, when they grew up, the Gu family had long ceased to exist, and they never paid attention to it, who would have thought that there were so many things behind this, could it be that their mother was so anxious to come back and cause trouble with their father?
In fact, no matter how much trouble she made, it was of no use, because it was clearly written in black and white4白紙黑字 (bái zhǐ hēi zì): (written) in black and white; written on paper; commit sth to writing; there is conclusive written evidence and cannot be denied. that she had nothing to do with the Shan family.
Shan Qihuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at his eldest brother seriously: “Then what do you want to do now?”
Shan Qiyuan gestured to him to take a look at the siheyuan: “I want to retire.”
Shan Qihuan doesn’t believe it from the bottom of his heart, his eldest brother has always been a workaholic, he has always felt that he and his eldest brother are not close, because he is busy and obsessed with his work, but now he realizes that it all started from the source.
No one has ever been truly loved by their parents, they exist only as pawns, or dispensable5可有可無 (kě yǒu kě wú): dispensable; inessential; be as well without it as with it―not essential; not indispensable; you can have it or not; it doesn’t matter whether you have it or not. ‘tool man’.
Shan Qihuan asked again: “Don’t you intend to go back to the Shan Group? I can’t control it.”
Shan Qiyuan: “The Shan family is like a swamp, if you sink deep into it, it will be difficult to get out.”
Shan Qihuan: “You knew this, why did you drag me down?” Shan Qihuan has always wanted to ask him for a long time.
Shan Qiyuan: “Qihuan, you should share the burden for me, your surname is also Shan, I’m tired of the boring life now.”
Shan Qihuan: “You don’t care about the other three houses?”
Shan Qiyuan: “They can make trouble if they want to, the Shan family is still in Dad’s hands, no matter how much trouble they make, they can’t go beyond the boundary.”
Shan Qihuan’s face darkened: “Big brother, I’ll ask one last question, who was the person who hit me last time? It wasn’t the third house, was it?”
As soon as the question came out, the warm atmosphere between the two dropped to freezing point.
Shan Qiyuan’s lips twitched, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea: “I don’t know.”
Shan Qihuan slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, and looked at him coldly: “Big brother, I have always respected you! Why do you want to do this?”
“I said I didn’t know!” Shan Qiyuan also smashed the teacup on the table, “You think it’s me? Shan Qihuan, I’m your brother, I won’t harm you!”
“I don’t want it to be you, but with your ability, it’s impossible for you not to be able to find out who’s behind it, if it was the third house, you would have told me already! Isn’t it?” It had been a long time since Shan Qihuan had been so angry, and now his eyes were red with anger.
Shan Qiyuan was stunned by his glare, he looked away and said: “In short, I don’t know who it is.”
On this issue, Shan Qihuan still didn’t get his own answer, he shook his coat and got up, he had never understood his eldest brother.
When he turned his back on his eldest brother, Shan Qiyuan stopped him: “Qihuan, let me ask you, how much do you know about the current Shen Yuhan?”
Shan Qihuan didn’t speak.
Shan Qiyuan said: “No matter how much you doubt me, I have to remind you, don’t you think he has changed a lot?”
Shan Qihuan stared at the vermilion door of the siheyuan with an expressionless face: “This is my and his business, it has nothing to do with you.”
After saying this, he left without looking back.
