67 Winner In Life Shen Xi
“At first, we thought that there was only a year left before the 20-year pact, so we didn’t want to tell you. But your father and I didn’t expect you to be like this. We were afraid that you would always think of us and tire yourself out, so we thought it would be better to tell you. We didn’t want you to worry too much about us,” Lu Shan said as she looked at Shen Xi with a pained expression.
Shen Yan continued, “Your mother is right. The plan we gave Xue’er before was to raise her well until she was 20 years old and then send her to study abroad. Anyway, her grades weren’t good, so there was no need to tell her. We originally planned to arrange things like this for you, but you’re too thoughtful. You thought of everything, but you didn’t take your future into consideration. Your mother and I feel bad.”
“But, even if I sold those jewelry, would my grandpas might not know, right? Why do you have to make it so difficult for yourselves and live such a hard life for so many years?” Shen Xi asked, puzzled.
“That won’t do. A man must keep his word. If I can’t keep the agreement, how can I face your mother? I don’t want your mother to look down on me.” Shen Yan said heroically.
“Yes, it is because of your father’s integrity that I like him,” said Lu Shan, who looked at Shen Yan with affection in her eyes. If he is the kind of person who is sneaky, then he isn’t the Shen Yan I know.
“And... Lu Shan turned to look at Shen Xi and said, “If these things are sold, they will definitely be known. There are some big-name jewelry inside. Your grandfather has made a tracking number. Look at the back of the gold bars. There are also marks. He deliberately didn’t take it back. He just wanted me to sell it one day. That way, I would lose, so I would have to follow him back.”
“Then why did you let me sell it for money this time?” Shen Xi asked worriedly.
A crafty look flashed across Lu Shan’s eyes. “That was sold by you, not by your father or me. Moreover, it wasn’t used on us. So, we didn’t break the rules.”
Shen Yan stroked Lu Shan’s small head and smiled. “Your mother is right. There wasn’t anything that required us to spend a lot of money. Your mother and I could earn some money by doing odd jobs. Other than living a poor and plain life, it was nothing. There was no need for us to think about these jewelry, so we never thought about it.”
Shen Yan’s eyes shone with the same craftiness as Lu Shan’s. “But before I gave you the jewelry that day, your mother and I carefully read the agreement several times. It only said that your mother and I weren’t allowed to use our previous assets to make a living. But it didn’t say that you couldn’t. Moreover, this money wasn’t used on your mother and I. It was used for your tuition. This fee can be found, so it’s not considered a breach of contract. But there’s no way to prove that the air conditioner was only used by you, so dad could only return it.”
“Xi Xi, we know that this might be a little unfair to you, but there’s really only a little more than a year left. We have endured for so long. We can’t lose, or else we’ll have wasted our efforts.” Lu Shan frowned and looked carefully at Shen Xi.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan spoke very clearly, causing Shen Xi to be a little unable to react. It was like a dream.
No wonder Jiang Xue always complained that Shen Yan and his wife liked to pretend to be rich. Even though they didn’t have the money, they still said that they would send her to study abroad in the future. It turned out that they weren’t pretending. They were really rich! They even really intended to send Jiang Xue to study abroad!
If all of this was true, then the keys that Shen Yan gave her were very likely to be true? So her parents weren’t thieves, and those things were really legally owned by them? Shen Xi widened her eyes in shock, unable to calm down for a long time.
Shen Xi swallowed hard. She originally thought that her life was a struggle, and she needed to work hard to earn money to support herself and her parents.
But now, Shen Xi felt that her life had changed drastically. She wasn’t a pauper who struggled bitterly, but a winner in life.
Shen Xi still couldn’t process the truth. She said weakly, “Mom and dad, I don’t blame you, but I might have to be alone for a while.”
