Rebirth: She Became a Beautiful and Cool Bigshot-Chapter 261: Qin Weilan’s Past

Shen Ci wanted nothing to do with Shen Zhiwei.

He wasn’t even his biological father, and he’d been nothing but trouble in the past. Why on earth would he want to see him?

But Shen Ci was interested in learning about Shen Zhiwei’s past with Qin Weilan to deduce his own origins, which is why he agreed to meet him in a private room on the second floor.

Upon seeing Shen Ci, Shen Zhiwei immediately began to wipe his tears, "Shen Ci, I was not good to you before, but I had no choice, I’m just an incompetent man. Actually, I’ve always wanted to protect you, but I just couldn’t do it."

Shen Ci waited for him to finish, then said coldly, "So, what do you want from me?"

"I mean, nobody’s looking after the family business now. Your uncles are waiting to pounce on it, and I hope you’ll take charge. If you agree, I’ll give you half the profits, and the other half we’ll split into three parts, for me, your brother, and your sister."

That way, he could continue to live a life of leisure.

Shen Ci sneered, "If it were before, I would definitely agree, but now, I’m not interested. However, I don’t want to let your two brothers benefit for nothing, so here’s a deal. If you tell me everything about you and my mom back in the day, I’ll take over your businesses."

Shen Zhiwei thought it was going to be some incredibly difficult request, but it turned out to be so simple. He quickly nodded his head, "Okay, okay, I’ll tell you right away. It’s really not a big deal. All my card-playing buddies know. Back then, not long after I married Xiao Jing and she had just given birth to Shen Wenqiu, she was crying all the time. I couldn’t stand it and went out to play cards with friends. I won a lot that day, and my card-playing friends insisted on treating me to a meal, so we ended up at your mother’s restaurant. freewёbnoνel.com

That night I got drunk, and somehow ended up sleeping with your mom.

When I woke up, your mom told me to hurry and leave, saying it wasn’t my fault I was drunk, and that I didn’t have to take responsibility. But at that moment, Xiao Jing showed up with her family and confronted us... and the whole thing blew up. You already know what happened after that."

Shen Ci, "..."

Just that...

He furrowed his brow and thought for a while, "Did my mom ever try to make you take responsibility later?"

"No, no, she never sought me out, not even after you were born. I couldn’t bear to see her like that, so I often went to visit her. She originally wanted you to take her surname and be registered in her household, but I quietly paid to have you put on our family registry instead. I didn’t choose your name; I just borrowed the pet name your mom gave you. I actually doted on you when you were a child, or you could say I always wanted to, but every time I tried to be good to you, Xiao Jing would have people bully you, so I had to harden my heart and leave you alone..."

Shen Ci, "..."

Speechless.

If that was the case, he really couldn’t bring himself to treat Shen Zhiwei too harshly.

After thinking it over, he said, "I agree to take over your company, but it’s not going to be a giveaway, I want to buy it outright. You’ll keep one-sixth of the shares, and I’ll buy the remaining five-sixths with cash.

From now on, Shen Wenxi and Shen Wenqian will have nothing to do with the company. Don’t try to convince me otherwise. We don’t have the same mother, and I don’t want to repeat the tragedies of Shen Wenxiu and Shen Wenhao, so it must be this way. You can go back and discuss this with them; I’m sure they’ll agree."

If they didn’t agree, the business would just fall into the hands of the main Shen Family branch.

But with cash in hand, even though they would no longer have a stake in the company, it meant they’d immediately inherit double the assets.

Shen Zhiwei wasn’t happy about it but decided to go back and talk it over with Shen Wenxi and Shen Wenqian, hoping they could together convince Shen Ci.

He expected them to at least complain, if not refuse outright, but to his surprise, they were nothing but thrilled.

Then Shen Wenxi told him, "Sixth sister and I are planning to go abroad, Dad, do you want to come with us?"
