Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Shen Ming Side Story (End)

Shen Ming, despite being born into a wealthy family, could never engage in such behavior.

Yet, surprisingly, the harassment from the other party was relentless; they even tracked down where he lived and had people trap him inside his home.

Shen Ming almost killed that person at the time.

At that moment, his mind was empty of everything but the single thought of killing him.

If Xie Yuepei hadn’t appeared, that person would probably be dead by now.

That person had some clout at the time, and Xie Yuepei spent money and pulled strings to smooth things over.

Shen Ming remembered what Xie Yuepei said to him back then.

“Shen Ming, are you still yourself?”

Was he still himself?

Shen Ming felt he was not.

A demon had taken residence in his body.

Xie Yuepei, through his parents, found him a job: “I’m not pitying you, Shen Ming. You need a better starting point. You shouldn’t be groveling in the dust; you should be soaring with your wings spread wide.”

“Thank you.”

“What are you thanking me for, we’re brothers.” Xie Yuepei was quite spirited back then, “If my family ever goes broke because of me, I’ll be counting on you.”

Shen Ming chuckled, “Alright.”

Xie Yuepei shouted, “Let’s go, time for drinks.”

Shen Ming stood up and left the place he had been living in for the past three months.

From that day on, the Shen Ming of the past died in the bygone days.

Thanks to the recommendation from Xie Yuepei’s parents, Shen Ming quickly established himself in an overseas company. Yet he knew what he was after.

So a year later, he switched to EG.

He started from the lowest position at EG and rose to become the CEO of the Asia Regional Division in five years.

How many methods he used and how many competitors he pushed out of the way during those five years, only he knew.

Staying overseas meant better career prospects, many had advised him at the time.

But he chose to return anyway.

Not long after he made that decision, he heard that Father Shen had an accident.

Mrs. Shen died on the spot. Thinking of the woman who had not given him much maternal love, Shen Ming felt calm.

Father Shen became a vegetable, uncertain whether he would ever wake up.

On hearing this, Shen Ming felt slightly dazed.

All his hard work was only to prove something to someone…

But what was the point now?

When he set foot on this land again.

He was not the Shen Ming of the Shen Family, but the new CEO of EG.

The situation in Shen’s was much more serious than he had known; he had told Father Shen that there were problems with the company’s operational model.

Members of Shen’s occupied many positions but failed to produce any results, only knowing how to embezzle money.

Yet Father Shen did nothing about it.

Perhaps he knew, but because they were family, he couldn’t take action.

Five years later, his words came true.

The fall of Shen’s could not be separated from those of the Shen Family, even someone had worked with outsiders to bring down Shen’s.

Of course, Shen Ming knew this, yet he did nothing.

But he had not expected that his missing sister would return to Shen’s.

And that he would witness such an interesting drama.

Given Shen’s condition, to be able to throw six million at someone, how could one not be surprised?

Upon returning to the country, Shen Ming had no intention of entangling himself with the Shen Family.

But upon seeing that girl, he suddenly changed his mind.

Hadn’t Father Shen said that he was repaying a debt to his father?

Then shouldn’t his daughter pay back for the hatred he harbored, for the things done to him?

What would Father Shen’s expression be, if he woke up one day to find his daughter had become one of his own people?

Of course, this was Shen Ming’s initial thought, and he was quite looking forward to it.

However, after getting to know Chuzheng, Shen Ming found things developing beyond his control.

Latterly, Shen Ming never would have imagined he’d genuinely fall for her.

Even more despairing was the realization that this seemingly cold and indifferent sister was actually more fearsome than he was.

Everything was about tying him up and throwing him into a dark room.

That was exactly what he wanted to do to her.

Before he could take action, he had already experienced it once.

“What are you thinking about?” Xie Yuepei waved her hand in front of Shen Ming: “I was asking where you plan to have the wedding. There will definitely be a lot of people from my parents’ side, so a small place won’t do.”

“Hmm? Baby decided.” Shen Ming said: “It seems she bought an island.”

Xie Yuepei: “…”

Do you print money or what?

He hadn’t even bought an island yet!

Receiving Xie Yuepei’s aggrieved gaze, Shen Ming was also calm: “Why did you come to see me abroad at first?”

“What?”

“The first time you came to see me abroad.”

“That? Someone sent me a message, saying you were living a miserable life abroad, and I couldn’t contact you. I thought you had been kidnapped, so I just went.”

Shen Ming was stunned: “Who sent you the message?”

“I don’t know, when I called back it was a disconnected number, otherwise why would I think you had been kidnapped.” Xie Yuepei rolled her eyes: “Back in the day, I really went through life and death for you, my brother!”

Shen Ming found it strange that back then, apart from Xie Yuepei, he hardly had much interaction with anyone else.

Who could have sent Xie Yuepei the message?

Xie Yuepei was not one to dwell on things, and naturally she didn’t investigate. So many years had passed, there was no way to find out now.

Chuzheng had been paying people to prepare for the wedding, while Shen Ming, as the groom-to-be, had it easy.

On the wedding day.

Shen Ming hadn’t gotten up yet when he received a call from the hospital, saying Father Shen had woken up for an hour, saw a lawyer, and then passed away.

“Mr. Shen, here are some of your father’s belongings, specifically left to you. Could you come by, please?”

When Shen Ming arrived at the hospital, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and he took an envelope from the lawyer.

Inside was just a letter and a photograph.

He didn’t recognize the person in the photo, but he could tell, the eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his own.

The letter was somewhat lengthy, and by the time Shen Ming finished reading, the sky had brightened considerably.

Lin Yang and Xie Yuepei called him incessantly.

Shen Ming answered the calls.

On the other end, Xie Yuepei shouted, “Brother Shen, President Shen, Ancestor Shen, where are you! This isn’t how you run away from a wedding! After so much effort to coax Yu Niannian, that bastard, to marry you, you can’t stand me up! If I lose my bride, you’re not going to have an easy time either!”

“I’ll be right back.”

Shen Ming ended the call and walked out of the hospital.

Father Shen had another son long before, but unfortunately, that son died, and the killer was his own father.

Although it was ultimately ruled as manslaughter, he was still sentenced to prison.

At that time, Shen Ming had just been born.

The biological father of Shen Ming was released from prison upon completing his sentence, only to die a month later.

His mother abandoned him, and Shen Ming became an orphan.

At that time, Shen Ming was only three years old.

Father Shen didn’t know what he wanted to do by finding his biological father, but in the end, he only received this piece of news and then took Shen Ming back with him.

Afterwards, Father Shen moved away from the city they once lived in due to company development reasons.

Therefore, outsiders didn’t know about this matter, and Father Shen did not allow the Shen Family to talk about it.

That was probably also the reason why those people from the Shen Family targeted him so much.

Because they knew from the start that he was not the biological son of Father Shen.

In the letter, Father Shen said he initially planned to take his anger out on him, but he was just a child, and he felt conflicted too.

As events unfolded later, Father Shen saw that the Shen Family became more and more unreasonable, and he feared they would do something even more irrational. That’s why he took the opportunity to drive him away.

The things he had been taught in the first dozen years were enough for him to stand on his own two feet outside.

After all these years, the hatred for losing his son had long since dissipated.

He just hoped that Shen Ming would take good care of his daughter.

He might have made mistakes in this life.

He lost a son, and even his daughter had been estranged for over a decade.

Shen Ming stood outside the hospital, looking in a certain direction for a long time before withdrawing his gaze.

He walked into the rising dawn to meet his bride.
