"Have you misunderstood the definition of abstinence? You are clearly..."

    "What is it?" Shen Zhuoli looked at him with a wicked look in his black eyes.

    "It's clearly a waste of time!"

    Shen Zhuoli looked at the handsome young man's blushing face, but smiled instead, and touched his chin with great interest.

    Shouldn't he let this guy see what the real wildness looks like?

    "Okay, I won't bother you today. Don't you want to go to any other activities in the afternoon? Hurry up and get some sleep. I'll call you when it's time."

    Zhai Siluo nodded, turned over on the sofa, and was about to close his eyes when he suddenly thought of something, propped up his body, looked at Shen Zhuoli with bright eyes, and reached out to him.

    Shen Zhuoli didn't know why, and looked at his upward palm.

."I said, don't drink Sprite, wait until it's at room temperature."

    Zhai Siluo shook his head, "No, the things I gave you before have not been returned to me!"

    Seeing Zhai Siluo's righteous words, Shen Zhuoli couldn't help but think back to when Zhai Siluo gave him something and he didn't return it, but he didn't remember anything. Is this guy trying to trick him?

    He was a little puzzled, thought for a few seconds, grabbed Zhai Siluo's hand, and kissed him in the palm of his hand.

    "Okay, go to sleep now."

    Zhai Siluo shook his head again, sat up from the sofa, and continued to reach out to him. There was some embarrassment on his face, but his eyes were still firm and bright at the man opposite.

    "Think about it again, there is nothing you haven't given back to me."

    Shen Zhuoli looked at the fingers of his right hand, and suddenly his heart moved.

.He smiled, lowered his head slightly, opened the collar of his shirt, and removed a ring necklace from his neck.

    After Zhai Siluo returned the engagement ring to him that day, he found a thin silver chain of the same color, strung the ring together, and kept the ring with him all the time.

    Zhai Siluo didn't expect that he would actually wear the ring on his body. He was a little surprised, but also a little guilty.

    Shen Zhuoli looked at the ring and necklace in his hand with a distressed expression, "What should I do? I can't bear to take it off after wearing it for too long. Should I buy you a new one?"

    "No, I want this one, no matter how new or expensive it is."

    Shen Zhuoli smiled helplessly, lowered his head and brought the necklace with the ring on it to Zhai Siluo.

    Zhai Siluo held the ring on the necklace and kissed the cool metal surface contentedly.

.Shen Zhuoli looked at his smiling face, and his heart was so soft that he touched Zhai Siluo's earlobe and was about to kiss him when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

    Seeing the caller ID, Shen Zhuoli frowned slightly.

    It was a call from the vice president of the hospital.

    "Dean Shen, hello."

    He didn't know what to say, his face changed, and various complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

    After hanging up the phone, Zhai Siluo realized that the atmosphere was wrong, got off the sofa barefoot, and looked at him worriedly.

    "Brother Zhuoli, what's wrong?"

    "Shen Zhengde's condition suddenly deteriorated today. He is now being rescued in the ICU. The doctor has just issued a critical illness notice."

    **

    When he learned that Shen Zhengde was lying in the ICU, the entire Shen family was in a mess.

.The old man has not made a will yet, and now Shen Zhuoli holds the power of the company. When the old man leaves, if Shen Zhuoli swallows all his inheritance, the other descendants of Shen Zhengde will not be able to share anything. They must get the old man to make a will before Shen Zhuoli.

    As soon as Shen Zhuoli and Zhai Siluo got out of the car, they saw a row of black luxury cars parked in front of the hospital. There was a very eye-catching license plate with a series of eights. It was Shen Weixi's.

    Zhai Siluo is glad that this private hospital has good secrecy, and the security work is well done.

    Before entering the hospital gate, Shen Zhuoli asked him, "Xiao Luo, are you sure you won't be waiting in the car? When you enter the hospital, the scene may not look good."

    Zhai Siluo shook his head and shook his hand.
."It's okay, anyway, the announcement in the afternoon has been cancelled. I'll go in with you to see what other tricks those people have."

    As soon as the two walked to the hospital lobby, they met Shen Weixi and Shen Weijie who came in from another door.

    After Shen Weijie was injured in the car accident, he lay in the hospital for three months before he got off the ground. Now he still has the aftermath of the car accident on his right leg, and he walks with a limp, which is not very natural. Seeing Shen Zhuoli and Zhai Siluo appear, hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes.

    When he thought of his father being locked in a cell and suffering now, he wanted to eat Shen Zhuoli alive, but he also knew in his heart that Shen Zhuoli was something he couldn't easily mess with. After smoothing out his temperament, he understood that he could only wait and not act rashly.

.On the contrary, Shen Weixi, who has always been calm, saw Zhai Siluo come in with Shen Zhuoli, his eyes widened, he walked over quickly, and unwillingly grabbed Shen Zhuoli's collar.

    "Shen Zhuoli, why did you bring Xiao Luo here? Do you have to piss off grandpa alive?!"

    Shen Zhuoli signaled to the bodyguards behind him not to act rashly. He broke Shen Weixi's hand and said expressionlessly, "Shen Zhengde has long known about my relationship with Xiao Luo."

    "You! You scum, you even brought Xiao Luo to grandpa. Grandpa must be so angry with you!" Shen Weixi yelled, his eyes were red with anger.

    "Shen Weixi, I wanted to come here by myself. You don't want to be rude, shouting here and disturbing the tranquility of other patients." Zhai Siluo looked at him with a frown.

.Shen Weixi was stared at by his disgusting and critical eyes, and his heart was pierced by something.

    "Brother, don't worry about them, let's go and see Grandpa right now."

    Shen Weijie pulled his arm.

    Shen Weixi glared at Shen Zhuoli unwillingly, and followed Shen Weijie into the elevator.

    Shen Jianjun and his wife and Shen Jianye's wife were waiting outside the ward. As soon as Shen Weixi and Shen Weijie appeared, Shen Jianye's wife's eyes turned red, and she hugged Shen Weijie's shoulder tightly and began to cry in a low voice.

    Seeing his son, Shen Jianjun was about to say something to him when the elevator behind him dinged, Shen Zhuoli and Zhai Siluo came out one after the other, followed by two tall bodyguards.

    The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became a little condensed.

    Zhai Siluo didn't know what to say, and he had no feelings for the rest of the Shen family. .I came here purely to see Grandpa Shen for the last time, after all, he is Shen Zhuoli's father.

    He didn't want to cause trouble, but Shen Jianye's wife wrinkled her thin eyebrows when she saw him, and a mocking light appeared in her eyes.

    "Some people are really thick-skinned. They broke off their marriage with the Shen family a long time ago. What are they still doing here with shame? What I hate the most is this kind of fake people."

    Shen Weijie couldn't help but sneered, "They have climbed up a new high branch, so of course they have to be in a hurry."

    As soon as Shen Weijie finished speaking, Shen Weixi, who was beside him, gave him a hard stare.

    "What did you say? Xiao Luo came to see grandpa, so shut up if you don't know how to speak."

    Shen Jianye's wife was even more dissatisfied when she saw him defending Zhai Siluo. Relying on her being an elder, she said yin and yang strangely, "Wei Xi, I'm talking for you.  Originally, today was the matter of the Shen family. Why did he come to meddle with an outsider, or did he come here specially to see our jokes? "

    "You also know that you are a joke?" Shen Zhuoli said suddenly, his black eyes without a trace of emotion looked coldly at the woman in gold and silver.

    "Ms. Wang, you are still living such an excellent life because of who, I think you know clearly. If you don't want to end up like your husband, just keep your mouth shut and don't do things that bring shame on yourself. "

    The woman looked at his temperatureless eyes and froze in her heart. She did not expect that Shen Zhuoli would protect Zhai Siluo so much. She didn't dare to provoke Shen Zhuoli, she originally wanted to find a soft persimmon to squeeze, but instead she got a thorn in her hand. Seeing how Shen Zhuoli defends Zhai Siluo, are the rumors true...

.When the group was at a stalemate, the operating light went out, the door of Icu opened, and the attending doctor took off his gloves and walked towards them.

    Shen Jianjun and Shen Weixi rushed to meet him anxiously and asked about Shen Zhengde's situation.

    The attending doctor didn't look at them, just looked at Shen Zhuoli, and said in a sighing tone, "Old man may not have much time, so let's prepare for the funeral in the next few days."

    Hearing this news, Shen Weixi shook his whole body and grabbed the doctor's sleeve with a pale face.

    "Doctor, why is this?! Didn't my grandfather be fine here before? Why did his condition suddenly deteriorate?"

    "The old man has a lot of basic diseases, but he has been controlled well before. Recently, the weather has started to cool down, and the old man is not cooperating with the treatment, so it is getting worse. Sorry, we can't help."

.Shen Weixi looked at the helpless look on his face, his eyes were red, and tears fell instantly. Shen Jianjun was also hit hard, took a few steps back, and sat on the bench indifferently.

    Only Wang Su'e, with tears in her eyes, leaned over to ask the doctor again, her face flustered, "Doctor, did the old man explain anything about the funeral, make a will or something?"

    "The patient can't speak for the time being. Let's wait until the condition is stable."

    "If the old man can't wake up and can't speak, what about the will? Doctor, you have to think of a way."

    Zhai Siluo sighed lightly as he watched the Shen family entangle with the attending doctor. He was a little worried about Shen Zhuoli, and was about to find him, but found that the man had come to the end of the corridor at some point, a tall figure standing behind the half-open window, wondering what he was thinking.

    Zhai Siluo lightly walked over and walked over slowly.
.Shen Zhuoli had a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it, it was just in the palm of his hand. His eyes fell on the Magnolia magnolia outside the window. The broad leaves of Magnolia magnolia were almost falling off, and the jagged trunk showed a desolate beauty.

    The cool autumn wind blew in, and the broken hair on his forehead covered his eyes, making Zhai Siluo unable to see the expression in his eyes.

    "Brother Zhuoli, what are you going to do next?"

    Shen Zhuoli held the cigarette in his palm and crushed it little by little on the windowsill. He glanced at the scene on the other side of the corridor, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

    "When Shen Zhengde's condition stabilizes, I'll ask a lawyer to come over for notarization of the estate."

    **

    After Shen Zhuoli's decision was known to the Shen family, almost no one dared to believe it. Does not having a lawyer come to do notarization mean that Mr. Shen can freely distribute his estate without being subject to Shen Zhuoli?

.Would Shen Zhuoli be so kind and give up the Shen family's property to them?

    Everyone thought that this must be a new trap planned by Shen Zhuoli, or that there was some conspiracy hidden in it, but the next day, when they saw the lawyer and clerk appearing outside the ward, they realized that Shen Zhuoli didn't seem to be joking.

    "Mr. Zhuo, the old man can speak today, and his consciousness is relatively clear. Later, the lawyer can go in and make a transcript, and the clerk can also notarize."

    Shen Zhuoli nodded, and he was slightly surprised when he saw a tall and thin figure coming from the other side of the corridor.

    Shen Lin arrived faster than he thought. It seems that as soon as she received the news that Shen Zhengde was seriously ill, she immediately took the fastest plane to rush over.

    "Zuo Li, you've worked hard these days." Since the last cooperation, Shen Lin is the only person in the Shen family who still looks good when she sees him.

."It's mainly because Dr. Zhang and the others have worked hard. I didn't do anything. The notarization is about to start. You can go in with them later."

    Shen Lin looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you going in with me?"

    Shen Zhuoli smiled, and his tone was a bit self-deprecating, "My surname is Zhuo, not Shen, what are you doing here?"

    Shen Lin was at a loss for words.

    When she entered the ward, the rest of the Shen family had already gathered, and when they saw her appear, they all looked at her with some reproach.

    Shen Lin knew in her heart that they still hated her for selling her shares to Shen Zhuoli. After all, she helped an "outsider" to hurt the interests of the Shen family. Now these so-called relatives will naturally not have a good face when they see her. .

    She also had a cold face, found a stool and sat down, holding her head high, ignoring them.

.When the lawyer saw that everyone was there, he opened the record board, walked to the hospital bed, bent down slightly, and explained the process of fair will with Shen Zhengde on the bed.

    Shen Zhengde was already very weak, and there was an unprecedented silence in his cloudy eyes. The lawyer repeated it in his ear several times before he slowly understood what he said.

    "Let's start..." His voice was hoarse, probably because he knew that his time was short, and his current state of mind was more peaceful than before.

    Then, what he said intermittently shocked everyone, he actually planned to divide the rest of his inheritance equally among all his children except Shen Zhuoli!

    Wang Su'e's heart froze when she heard the old man's words. How could Shen Lin, the little sister-in-law who betrayed the Shen family, get the same amount of inheritance as her husband? She should get nothing.

.Her husband sacrificed the most and is still in prison, why wouldn't the old man give them more?

    She couldn't hold the resentment in her heart, but seeing that Shen Jianjun had no objection, she could only tightly grip the fabric of the skirt on her knees.

    Shen Lin was also a little shocked when she heard the lawyer read out the will. She didn't come here to fight for her inheritance, she just wanted to see the old man for the last time. Unexpectedly, the old man didn't hold any grudge against her for what she had done before, and regarded her as his daughter...

    "Miss Shen Lin, Mr. Shen has something to tell you." The lawyer suddenly called her name.

    Shen Lin stood up as if she had just woken up from a dream, and walked to the hospital bed in a trance.

    When the old man Shen saw her, a gleam of light appeared in his cloudy eyes. .He was probably about to die, and he suddenly realized that the worst thing he had done in the first half of his life was to kick Shen Lin out of the company and make this daughter feel completely cold to him, and then conspire with Shen Zhuoli to betray him.

    Now that the deadline is approaching, seeing Shen Lin again, thinking of how she looked like a pink-carved jade bracelet when she was a child, holding his arm softly and calling him dad, he felt sad and regretted.

    "Xiao Lin, Dad wants to apologize to you. I shouldn't have let you leave the company back then... Can you forgive Dad?"

    Holding her father's skinny palm, Shen Lin's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, she lowered her head, and tears welled up in her eyes. She may have resented him, but looking at Shen Zhengde, who has run out of time, she now has no hatred in her heart, only pity.

    "Dad, don't worry, I forgive you."

."Your eldest brother is not in good health... Wei Xi and Wei Jie are too young. In the future, the company and the family will have to help you more... Okay?"

    Shen Lin nodded tearfully.

    "Call Vichy and Vijay, and I'll talk to them both."

    Shen Zhengde died in his sleep the night he made his will.

    Seeing that the Shen family was crying around his hospital bed, Shen Zhuoli stood at the door and watched for a while, then went to the corridor with a blank expression.

    He was about to enter the elevator when Shen Lin's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

    "Remember that you promised me a condition before?"

    Shen Zhuoli paused and turned to look at her. When Shen Lin sold her shares to him before, she put forward a condition to him, saying that if something happened, Shen Zhuoli must help her, Shen Zhuoli agreed without hesitation.

    "you say."

."I want to buy the part of the shares I sold to you before, can I?"

    Shen Zhuoli was silent for a few seconds, Shen Lin thought he was unhappy, her expression changed slightly, and when she was considering what words to use to convince him, the man opposite suddenly smiled.

    That smile made Shen Lin's back a little chill, and he felt that the man seemed to have seen through him.

    "Of course, the conditions I promised are naturally fulfilled."

    When I came out of the hospital, it was raining lightly outside, and the streets in late autumn were covered with fallen leaves. Shen Zhuoli stepped on the fallen leaves and listened to the squeaking of the leaves under his feet, and felt a strange peace in his heart.

    A black Bentley parked quietly under a tree.

    When the driver saw him coming, he quickly held an umbrella for him and opened the door for him.

    "Why did you get wet? Before I asked you to bring an umbrella without it, what if you catch a cold." . When Zhai Siluo, who was waiting in the car, saw him, he pulled out a tissue with some worry and wiped the water droplets from his black hair for him.

    "He just passed away."

    Zhai Siluo made a move, and quickly realized who Shen Zhuoli was talking about.

    He didn't speak, just opened his arms and silently hugged the man covered in moisture.

    Shen Zhuoli stretched out his hand to repay him, his slender arms were tightly clasped around his waist, as if trying to melt him into his own flesh and blood.

    The man's tone was hoarse, "Xiao Luo, am I a very bad person? After driving my biological father to a dead end, am I really, as they say, a hopeless scum?"

    Zhai Siluo shook his head.

    "Of course not, don't listen to those people's nonsense, you have done a good job, and let the old man make a will. . . Those people in the Shen family can still eat and drink spicy food now, all because of your kindness and generosity. "

    Zhai Siluo hugged him like a knife in his heart. He saw what the people of the Shen family were like in the hospital these days, and how Shen Zhuoli responded. He felt ashamed when he thought that he was worried that Shen Zhuoli would be blinded by hatred and got angry with him before.

    Shen Zhuoli is not the kind of person who will be distorted by hatred at all, those beautiful qualities are always in him.

    Shen Zhuoli buried his face in his neck, like a drowning man clutching his only driftwood, "Xiao Luo, thank you.
