Chapter 535: Old Matters Revisited

Now, seeing his long-awaited precious nephew, Shen Liangcheng immediately squeezed out a fawning smile, looking every bit the sycophant.

"Yo! Xiaoyan is here! Come in, come in quickly, your grandma has been talking about you for ages."

"Uncle is here too!" Shen Yan replied indifferently.

"I arrived the day before yesterday. I haven't seen your grandma in a long time, so I came over to visit her."

As he spoke, Shen Liangcheng's gaze swept toward the twin sisters behind Shen Yan, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in secret; being rich is truly great, one is never short of beautiful girls around.

Just then, Shen Nainai popped out from behind the door. Seeing the lovely twin sisters, her eyes shone like two sparkling stars, flickering with light.

It was as if she were looking at some rare treasure!

"Xiaoyan, these two sisters really look alike. Which one is Shanni?"

"Grandma, I am Shanni. Long time no see. I came specially to visit you today. This is my younger sister; you can just call her Yezi."

Chen Shanni hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

At just one glance, Yin Yezi felt a sense of affection for this kind-looking old lady and followed up with a greeting: "Hello, Grandma. I am Yezi. My father is busy with work, so he entrusted us sisters to convey his regards to you on his behalf."

"Good, good, good! Come in and sit."

After entering the house, the group sat around the sofa in the living room. Shen Liangping and his wife were not there, as they were still busy at the noodle shop, while Shen Jiaqing was in the kitchen cutting fruit.

Shen Nainai scrutinized Chen Shanni's face for a few moments and asked with concern: "Shanni, how is your health now? I heard from Xiaoyan before that you had a serious illness?"

Yin Yezi was taken aback and looked at her sister beside her in surprise: "Sis, what illness did you have? Is it serious? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"This..."

Chen Shanni's scalp tightened. She never expected Shen Nainai to still remember that. Her eyes drifted involuntarily toward Shen Yan, who was sitting diagonally across from her. Shen Yan gave her a reassuring look and took the initiative to answer: "Grandma, look at Shanni's rosy complexion and full spirit; she doesn't look like a sick person at all.

It was just a minor issue with her digestive system, and it's been better for a long time."

Chen Shanni chimed in hurriedly: "Yes, I have completely recovered now."

"That's good!" Yin Yezi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Having such a gentle and quiet sister who was so good to her, Yin Yezi didn't want anything to happen to her.

Shen Nainai smiled happily: "That fortune teller really didn't calculate wrong. She said you had a rough life since childhood, but fortunately, you were destined to have a noble person to help you, allowing you to turn danger into safety. From now on, your life will be smooth sailing, and you will be wealthy and prosperous."

Chen Shanni looked at Shen Yan shyly; he was indeed the noble person who saved her.

It was just that the process was a bit hard to talk about.

Afterwards, the group chatted idly, and time slipped away from their fingertips.

At five o'clock, Shen Liangping returned home and personally cooked a large table of dishes.

Everyone gathered around the dining table and had a reunion meal while chatting and laughing.

During the meal, Shen Liangping poured himself a glass of white liquor and raised it to signal to Shen Yan: "Xiaoyan, Uncle is here to apologize to you. I know you don't like me and resent me for being selfish, for never taking care of you since you were little, and for not being filial to your grandma.

I hope you won't hold it against me and will give me a chance to turn over a new leaf."

After speaking, he drained the glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, everyone had different expressions. Shen Nainai shook her head without a word, not knowing if it was pity or annoyance. Shen Yan just smiled indifferently: "Let's not talk about the past anymore. I hope Uncle will be more filial to Grandma in the future and not let her get hurt."

"Definitely, definitely!"

Shen Liangcheng promised repeatedly, then added: "Xiaoyan, you are a big boss now and are well-informed. Could you point out a path to wealth for your uncle? I don't ask for great riches, just hope to let Jiaxin and Jiakang live a good life."

Thinking of his cousins far away in Cangnan, Shen Yan did not give him a cold shoulder.

"Then let me say this: the internet has been developing rapidly in recent years, and more and more people are going online. I suggest you find a place with high foot traffic and open an internet cafe.

I can't guarantee what the future will be like, but you definitely won't have to worry about food and drink within five years."

"How much capital does it take to open an internet cafe? How much can you earn in a year?" Shen Liangcheng asked hurriedly.

"It depends on the location and scale. Thirty thousand is about enough in Cangnan. If business is good, you can break even within a year."

Shen Liangcheng's eyes lit up as he listened: "Xiaoyan, can you lend me a sum of money? I plan to bring my whole family to live in Shanghai, and I will pay you back as soon as I break even."

Shen Yan pondered for a moment. This amount of money was a drop in the bucket for him, but he couldn't just give it away for nothing.

"I can lend you the money, but even brothers must settle accounts clearly. You mortgage that house in Cangnan to me. If you can't pay back the money in the future, the house will be used to settle the debt."

"This..." Shen Liangping hesitated.

"Xiaoyan, you are such a big boss now, there's no need to be so serious with your uncle."

Hearing this, Shen Yan felt that he intended to get a free ride. He said that as long as he managed the internet cafe well and paid back the money on time, everything would be fine.

A somewhat reluctant Shen Liangcheng turned his head to ask Shen Nainai for help. Shen Nainai glared at him: "Xiaoyan has pointed out a clear path for you, so just do as he says. Why all the nonsense? Otherwise, go back and continue running the fruit shop."

"Mom, can't you wish me well? I am your own son."

"It's precisely because you are my son that I know exactly what kind of schemes are in your head."

Don't look at Shen Nainai as being old; she was not muddled at all.

Helpless, Shen Liangcheng gritted his teeth and signed an agreement with Shen Yan, using the house as collateral to borrow 500,000 in cash. Shen Yan also suggested to his uncle Shen Liangping that opening an internet cafe was a good choice if he wanted to make money.

You can hire someone to manage it; you don't have to do it yourself.

Shen Liangping and Huang Meili were both tempted, and in the end, Shen Jiaqing made the final decision.

Do it!

With his background in computer science, he knew the current social environment better than anyone else. Opening an internet cafe was indeed profitable; why hadn't he thought of it before?

After eating and drinking his fill and sitting at home for a while longer, Shen Yan prepared to return to Hangzhou.

Before leaving, he transferred one million to Shen Nainai's card, telling her to eat and drink well, not to be stingy with money, and to hire a nanny later to take care of the household chores.

Shen Nainai didn't want to accept it at first, but Shen Yan said he had more money than he could spend and asked her to help him share the burden. Shen Nainai had to accept it with a smile, sighing that her grandson was capable.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse; tired birds returned to their nests.

The traffic in Shanghai on the weekend was not bad, and there were no major jams. He got on the highway in twenty minutes. On the way, Shen Yan received a call from Wang Sicong.

He first flattered him a few times, saying that he would bring him along for the next project, and also invited Shen Yan to get together.

To be honest, seeing Shen Yan's career soaring like a helicopter, Wang Sicong was truly envious. At noon, Wang had even specifically called to instruct Wang Sicong that Shen Yan's future was limitless and that he must maintain a good relationship with him.

Shen Yan replied casually: "There's too much going on at the company, I'm already on the highway right now. Let's meet up next time, or whenever you come to Hangzhou, I'll be the host and treat you to a meal."

"It's a deal then, you can't flake on me when I come over."

"Definitely!"
