Chapter 127: Give Him Another Chance, Okay?

"How about that, surprised?"

Yang Shuqin blinked triumphantly: "If I didn't tell you these things, I'm afraid you would never know them in your entire life."

"And those houses your mother bought in Jianghai City."

"Did you really think your mother was so bored that she bought houses like she was buying groceries?"

"Wasn't it?" Shen Huai's pupils trembled.

"……Well, of course, there was a little bit of my own reason too," Yang Shuqin scratched the bridge of her nose awkwardly and immediately changed the subject, "I'll tell you the truth, your mother bought you a house in every core area of downtown Jianghai City."

"It was all so that after you graduated, no matter where you went, you would have a place to stay."

"This was also exactly your father's intention."

"……" Shen Huai was so shocked he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Yang Shuqin said earnestly: "Huai'er, you have graduated now and grown up; you should learn to understand your father."

"Your father has limited formal education and started from scratch; the suffering he endured to go from having nothing to the Shen Group of today is not something you can imagine."

"In his eyes, only having a successful career counts as being a real man."

"All his demands on you are solely because you are his son."

"Actually, your father loves you more than you think,"

Yang Shuqin's eyes turned slightly red as she spoke, "He has actually always wanted to compensate you. Can you use this identity this time... and give him a chance?"

Shen Huai raised his head and looked into Yang Shuqin's eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes filled with expectation.

After a long silence.

Shen Huai finally nodded.

"Alright, Mom."

……

Half a day later.

The Shen Group suddenly released an official statement.

The statement claimed that they had noticed the revelations from "Entertainment Industry Gossip Master" and had conducted relevant testing.

After comparison, Xingyao employee Shen Huai indeed shares a biological father-son relationship with the Chairman of the Shen Group and is an identical twin to Shen Huai.

The whole mix-up was caused by a hospital error at the time.

This statement was like dropping a bombshell on all the major platforms.

Public opinion exploded instantly.

Overwhelming news reports all revolved around 【Shen Group】, 【Abandoned Heir of a Wealthy Family】, and 【Shen Huai】.

The search volume for related terms rose vertically, and the servers crashed directly!

Netizens turned into onlookers, and the comment section was incredibly lively: 【What kind of novel-to-reality drama is this?】

【Woke up and became the son of a billionaire? As expected, I'm the only NPC in this world!】

【Twins, my god, I actually guessed it right!!】

【Breaking news! Shen Group confirms the family connection; Xingyao employee is actually the abandoned heir of a wealthy family!】

The discussions among the crowd had not yet ceased.

Immediately after, the Shen Group released another new announcement.

Given that "Entertainment Industry Gossip Master" provided useful information, the Chairman of the Shen Group, Shen Zhiyuan, would personally wire 20 million in cash to Entertainment Industry Gossip Master to express his gratitude.

Once these words were out, the whole country was shocked!

"I have never been so jealous of a paparazzo!"

"20 million, that's 20 million! Is it too late to switch careers and become a paparazzo now?"

"I've truly lived long enough to see everything; this is the first time I've seen a paparazzo's scoop being publicly rewarded with a huge sum by the person being exposed!"

"……Share a sip of soup with me; I also forwarded that article back then and contributed a little effort."

"……Me too……"

The carnival of public opinion had not yet ended.

Just when everyone had not yet recovered from this massive amount of information.

The Shen Group official account released another announcement; the content was concise and clear, yet it caused another huge uproar:

【To show our sincerity, the Shen Group will sign a 500 million game project partnership with Xingyao in the name of Shen Huai.】

Five... five hundred million?! The entire internet was boiling again! This time, even the usually calm gaming circle exploded.

You must know that although the Shen Group is a leading domestic enterprise, its main business is concentrated in real estate, finance, and other fields.

It had never ventured into the gaming industry before.

Now, for a son who had just been recognized, they actually threw in a massive investment of 500 million for a game project! This scale and this boldness were simply breathtaking! Countless people said he was a business prodigy rarely seen in a century; for the Shen Group to make such a big move, he must have extraordinary qualities.

Others said he was just lucky, having been chosen by the Shen Family by chance, which allowed him to reach the top in one step.

Still others dug up his "glorious deeds" at school, mocking him as nothing more than a playboy who only knew how to toy with women. Now that he had climbed the big tree of the Shen Family, who knew how arrogant he would be in the future……

However, Shen Huai did not care about any of this.

Back when he parted ways with Yang Shuqin at noon.

He had asked for leave and returned to Number One Heaven and Earth.

He turned off his phone and shut himself in his bedroom.

His mother Yang Shuqin's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

"Actually, your father loves you more than you think……"

"He has actually always wanted to compensate you……"

Shen Huai closed his eyes.

Before his eyes, that tall yet slightly unfamiliar figure gradually emerged.

In his memories.

When his father saw him, he seemed to have never smiled at him.

He always kept a straight face, as if he himself were a stain on his father's life.

He rarely expressed emotions toward him, let alone any affectionate gestures.

But now.

His mother told him that his father had always been silently watching over him and caring for him.

Even going so far as to use his own power to clear obstacles for him and pave the way for him...

Could it be that for all these years, he had truly misunderstood his father? He stood up and walked to the window.

Gazing at the bustling night view of the city outside the window, Shen Huai felt a complex mix of emotions.

At this moment.

The entire China was still immersed in this wealthy family gossip, unable to extricate itself.

Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.

"Shen Huai, are you there?"

Shen Huai snapped out of his thoughts, turned around, and opened the door.

He saw Lu Sheng holding a plastic bag full of items, looking at Shen Huai with anxious eyes.

"... Director Lu."

Shen Huai took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and spoke indifferently: "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at him, squeezed through the door gap, and lifted the plastic bag in her hand toward Shen Huai.

"Aren't you asking the obvious? Do you know that the rumors outside are going crazy, saying that you are..."

Lu Sheng stopped halfway, suddenly realized something, and quickly changed her tone with a smile, "Anyway, you are a big celebrity now."

"Even my phone has been blown up with people asking me if I know where you are."

Hearing this, Shen Huai forced a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Yeah, red-hot, why don't I just take the opportunity to debut and become a star?"

"Get lost, I'm too lazy to do crisis public relations for you every day."

Lu Sheng stared at Shen Huai, then sat down on the sofa on her own.

She immediately opened a bag of peanuts from the plastic bag, tore the packaging, poured them into her palm, tilted her head back, and popped them into her mouth.

"... Mmm... refreshing."

Lu Sheng chewed with great gusto.

For some reason, it was clearly just a simple sigh of satisfaction for delicious food.

But when it fell into Shen Huai's ears, it made his ears feel a bit hot.

"Director Lu, you didn't come all this way just to sit on my sofa and eat peanuts, did you?" Shen Huai stood by the sofa, watching her intently.

"... Delicious, delicious..."

Lu Sheng licked her fingers clean with satisfaction, then raised her eyes to look directly at Shen Huai.

"I came this time, naturally, to ask you for an answer."

After speaking, while Shen Huai was focused.

Lu Sheng gave a wicked smile.

She suddenly raised her toes, instantly reached inside his shirt, hooked her instep, and bent her thigh inward—

Shen Huai was caught off guard and fell directly onto Lu Sheng!

"Shen Huai, you are so excessive, actually hiding so many things from me."

Lu Sheng whispered softly into Shen Huai's ear: "Now, let's play a game of full disclosure."
