Chapter 481: Still Not Dead Yet?

"Pandi?" Wang Dani was very happy. Although Pandi had a bad temper, having one more daughter meant one more guarantee for their old age. "Where is she?"

A glimmer of hope also appeared in Shen Dazhuang's eyes.

Although he beat his second daughter the most, that was because she had a big temper and refused to be disciplined; a young tree wouldn't grow straight without pruning, and he was doing it for her own good.

"I don't know where the second sister is, but I know she's singing now, she's on TV, and she's even making money."

"She just won't give any to you to spend, it'll make you die of anger!"

After saying this, Shen Xiangdi left.

It wasn't that she hadn't felt regret. Back then, if she hadn't chosen to tell their parents about the second sister's words just for a bite of meat when the second sister said she wanted to leave home, would she be as free and easy as the second sister is now?

The three sisters were originally birds from the same nest, but now the eldest and second sisters had both flown far away, and the second sister had even flown very high, leaving only her—

Shen Xiangdi lowered her head and touched her protruding belly; she was about to become a mother.

After Shen Xiangdi left, Shen Dazhuang and Wang Dani sat stunned in the hospital room for a long time.

"Since when did Pandi know how to sing?"

Wang Dani felt it was strange; they had never heard Pandi mention it.

She hadn't expected that this girl, whom they hadn't paid much attention to, would go out and earn money.

"Dani, go out and find a TV to watch," Shen Dazhuang thought. Although his daughter had run away without listening to them, as parents, they still couldn't just ignore her.

They had to find a way to bring Pandi back.

Seeing that Xiangdi was also an unfilial thing, they might have to rely on Pandi for their old age later.

Wang Dani left the hospital and found a small shop with a TV.

But what was playing on the TV wasn't her daughter, so she asked the shop owner, "Boss, my daughter is on TV. Why isn't she on your TV?"

When she said this, her tone carried a hint of pride.

Before this, she had never been this bold when mentioning the three daughters she had given birth to.

This was the first time she felt that the daughters she had given birth to were useful.

Shop owner:...

He sized her up with a look of contempt, "Do you have mental problems?"

"I'm not crazy," Wang Dani hurriedly explained to him, "My daughter ran away from home. Now I hear from others that she can sing and is even on TV. Please, tell me how I can see her?"

The shop owner then handed her the remote control, "I remember there's a singing program. You can turn it on yourself."

As the owner taught her how to change the channel, he gossiped, "Why did your daughter run away from home?"

"I don't know," Wang Dani couldn't figure it out either, "Her father and I worked so hard to raise the four of them, we were exhausted every day."

Wang Dani answered as if it were only natural. Finally, she tuned into a singing program.

Leaning closer to the TV, she finally saw her familiar second daughter in the corner of the screen.

After not seeing her for a few months, Pandi hadn't lost weight. Although she still looked timid, she really sang quite well.

This made Wang Dani recall the past at home, when Pandi would occasionally hum while doing chores.

Once, she happened to be in a bad mood, so she slapped Pandi directly across the mouth, "We are all women; don't think I don't know your little schemes. You're so young and you're already trying to seduce men!"

From then on, she never heard Pandi sing again.

When she returned to the hospital, she told Shen Dazhuang about seeing Pandi singing on TV.

"She has changed; it's as if she's no longer our daughter."

Wearing beautiful, clean clothes, standing on a big, tall stage.

"We must find her!" Shen Dazhuang said.

She was Shen Dazhuang's seed; no matter where she ran, she was still his seed.

"What if she doesn't acknowledge us?"

"Then we'll make a scene, make it so she can't be on TV," a ruthless glint flashed in Shen Dazhuang's eyes, "Why should an unfilial person be on TV? Don't worry, in the end, she'll be the one begging to be filial to us."

At that time, it would depend on his mood whether he was willing to accept that dead girl's filial piety.

If Shen Pandi had run away and lived a miserable life, that would be fine; he would just consider this daughter dead.

But Shen Pandi was actually living well, so how could he tolerate her escaping his control?

"But we don't know where she is. How do we find her?"

Shen Dazhuang gave her a sharp look, "Why are you so stupid? Isn't it on TV? Just go find her according to that address."

"Also, for money, go back to our hometown and ask my brother to borrow some. Don't say you're looking for Zhaodi; just say I've come down with a serious illness and am about to die. He'll lend it to you."

Wang Dani:...

At this moment, Shen Pandi didn't know that her parents were plotting to find her.

She liked her current life, living in a basement with a very kind older sister.

The older sister discovered she sang well and taught her to play the guitar. In short, it was the first time she knew she could live like this.

Now she was participating in a music program with her sister, and her life was getting better bit by bit.

It was just that she still had nightmares occasionally at night, and the content of the nightmares was her life in the Shen family for over a decade.

Suffocation, despair; she always struggled to wake up.

Sometimes, she also worried, what if Shen Dazhuang and Wang Dani found out she was making money now?

Hmph, she wouldn't give that couple a single cent.

"There's a class reunion next week. I wonder how many people can go?"

Ming Zi sat in Si Rong's office with her legs crossed, "Life is impermanent. Counting Li Xuan, four classmates in our class have already died."

"By the way, I don't know if Shen Lan will die? That fire at their house was so big!"

"I heard that after a fire, some people seem fine at the time, but because they inhaled those toxic gases, they slowly die later on."

"Who knows," Si Rong also missed her old classmate a little, "has the location for the class reunion been set yet?"

"Cui Lili set it at the Li Family Restaurant."

Si Rong frowned slightly, "Change the place."

Ever since Si Nian got into a fight with that child from the Li family last time, it had escalated into a conflict between the two families.

She had moved the dinner party locations for her own company, including those of her two older brothers' companies, to the restaurant across from the Li Family Restaurant.

She was not the type to look for trouble, but she was not afraid of it either.

Mother Li also spared no effort in badmouthing her everywhere, but due to the power and influence of the Jiang Family and the Si Family, she dared not be too blatant.

Upon learning that another reservation had been canceled, Mother Li was very angry, and upon learning it had to do with Si Rong, she became even angrier.

However, the gap in power and wealth between her and Si Rong was too vast, so in a fit of anger, she could only be angry for a moment.

On the day of the class reunion, Si Rong arrived on time with Jiang Cheng and Ming Zi.

She did not expect Shen Lan to be there as well.

Ming Zi felt a bit disappointed inside; she walked over to greet everyone one by one, and when it was Shen Lan's turn, she was surprised, "You're not dead yet?"

Shen Lan:...
