She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1409 - 1479: Mr. Shen Passes Away

”Yes, Grandpa, how did you know?”

”Look at that, you’re such a realistic girl, now you use ’您’ instead of ’你’?” Old Leader Shen laughed heartily.

”Are you going to tell me or not? You’ll regret it if you don’t. Once I think of a way, even if you come to me, I won’t agree.”

”I’ll tell you, alright? Isn’t that enough?” Old Leader Shen liked this straightforward manner most, paired with decisiveness—just like he was in his younger days.

”I want to pass the Shen Family to you. You don’t need to do much, just help the Shen Family when you’re able.”

”Don’t worry, I agreed.” An’an nodded without hesitation, after all, she still had the ties with her aunt and her own mother.

”There’s one more thing,” Old Leader Shen’s voice lowered significantly, ”Later, help me personally deal with Shen Ming.”

An’an didn’t ask why, only a flicker of astonishment passed through her eyes before she decisively nodded.

”Well, after all, the person in the Shen Family who resembles me the most is still you.”

”Hai Yunfeng said the same thing.”

Old Leader Shen was slightly taken aback and then laughed heartily.

The assistant waiting outside heard Old Leader Shen’s laughter, and quietly wiped his tears with his sleeve. Ever since Shen Yu passed away, a burden weighed on Old Leader Shen’s heart, and he hadn’t had a day of comfort since.

”Why do you want me to go to M Country? When can I go? I’m telling you, if it’s a long time, I absolutely won’t agree.” She agreed to the conditions, now it was her turn to make demands.

”How about tomorrow?”

”Really?” An’an’s eyes widened in surprise, ”I’m now selected for the Academy of Sciences.”

”I know! Well... it’s the glory of our Senior Shen Family.”

”Hai Yunfeng said that too.”

”Now when I hear the name Hai Yunfeng, it really annoys me. Back then, I was blind to let him become my son-in-law.” Once competing for a daughter, now competing for a granddaughter.

This is truly my enemy! I was indeed blind back then.

An’an nodded seriously, ”Me too, really annoying.”

”You go back! Wait for my good news.”

”Okay!”

But An’an didn’t obediently stand up, her calm little face rarely showed a trace of reluctance, ”Grandpa, take good care of your health.”

”Hmm, hmm! I know, I’m in great health!”

”Then I’m leaving.”

”Go on! When I see you now, it’s so annoying, you’re definitely Hai Yunfeng’s offspring.”

”I’m really leaving.”

”Go on, go on!”

An’an took one last longing look at the elderly man, and at the old-style Eight Immortals table and the simple food on it.

This departure is also a farewell forever.

The next day she received the notification of admission from the Academy of Sciences and the exit procedures granted by the Foreign Affairs Department, along with the news of Old Leader Shen’s passing.

Her procedures could be processed so quickly, allowing the unprecedented consent from the country; it should have been Grandpa’s last wish before dying, right?

Grandpa’s lifetime of research was overwhelmingly fruitful, and his last wish before dying was something no one could refuse.

She looked at the documents, thought of Grandpa’s death, and the will of Grandpa silently wiped her tears.

”Sister, I’m going, we’ll be able to meet soon.”

Across the ocean, Feng Manor

Through the first room on the left side of the burned second floor, though professionally renovated, the pungent smell of burnt leather still lingered. Servants passing by this room were all very cautious and hurried.

While the numerous young masters and ladies of the Feng Family were either out studying, meeting friends, or traveling. Those older involved in family business were all using the excuse of working overtime not to return.
