Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 153
As soon as Shen Zhibing got off the plane, he received a call from Qi Zheng: “My wife, it’s a hard business trip, I’m here to pick you up.”
The feeling of exhaustion was instantly reduced by half because of this simple sentence, Shen Zhibing said softly: “You skip work, are you not afraid of people in the company saying you?”
Qi Zheng didn’t take it seriously: “I am clearly setting an example. To know how to balance life and work, I never force employees to devote all their time to the company.”
Shen Zhibing smiled softly: “That’s what you will say. Well, I’ll get off the plane right away, see you later.”
After sending Yun Fei home, Qi Zheng said, “The day after tomorrow is Grandpa’s birthday, and I have all the gifts ready.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Shen Zhibing rushed to deal with the situation because of a temporary situation in the branch. Originally, it was good to go to choose gifts together last weekend, but in the end, Qi Zheng could only handle it by himself.
“Then reward me.” The car stopped at the red light, Qi Zheng pointed to his face and asked for a kiss.
Shen Zhibing glared at her: “You are getting more and more reserved now.”
After she finished speaking, she leaned over, cupped Qi Zheng’s face with both hands, and placed a soft kiss on her cheek with a light lip print.
The smile on Qi Zheng’s face widened: “Kissing with my wife has nothing to do with being reserved or not.”
The lip print on his face has not been wiped off, and Qi Zheng doesn’t care. After getting off the car, Shen Zhibing took out a tissue and said that she would clean it up for her.
“I’ll be home soon, and it’s okay.”
There are only Aunt Xin and other servants at home. Everyone has long been used to their sweetness and sweetness, and a lip print is nothing at all.
Shen Zhibing watched her take out the suitcase from the car, and then walked around to hold her hand. The series of movements were very natural and smooth, and she really didn’t care.
“If you are like this, if you let those shareholders know, you don’t know what the stock price will be tomorrow.”
Said so, but Shen Zhibing took back the tissue and was led into the elevator obediently.
“If shareholders knew that my family life is so stable and happy, and my wife’s strength is so strong, they would definitely double their positions and buy, buy, buy.”
Qi Zheng’s company has been successfully listed three years ago, and now it is a star company on the GEM and is very popular in the market. However, Qi Zheng himself is becoming more and more low-key. Except for some necessary interviews related to the company, he chooses Shenyin for other aspects.
After I got home, just after the suitcase was stabilized, a milky voice came from the living room: “Auntie, you are back!”
Then, a wobbly little meat dumpling rushed over. Probably walking too fast, still muttering in his mouth, the little meatball could not stand steady a few steps away from them, swaying from side to side and about to fall.
Qi Zheng took two steps forward with her long legs, and hugged Xiaorou Tuanzi into her arms: “Susu, why are you here?”
“Aunt Zhengzheng, my mother brought me here, saying that my aunt will come home today.”
After speaking, Xiaorou Tuanzi opened his arms and struggled in the direction of Shen Zhibing, begging for a hug.
Qi Zheng pretended to be sad: “It’s obvious that I hugged you, but you only see your aunt in your eyes.”
Susu was tangled in her chubby little face, and her chubby hands were crossed together, a little embarrassed, but it was not ambiguous, and she kissed Qi Zheng’s face.
“Aunt Zhengzheng, don’t be unhappy, Susu also likes you.”
The innocence of a child is comparable to the cares of adults. Shen Zhibing took off his coat and patted Susu twice: “Come here, Auntie.”
The little meatball broke free from Qi Zheng’s arms and ran towards Meimei’s aunt with all her strength.
Qi Zheng stood up and nodded to Shen Zhilan who was following from the living room.
“Take her to see the dentist today, and just come up to take a look when I pass by.”
In fact, Susu was clamoring to see her aunt, and Shen Zhilan coaxed her to say that she would be able to see her tomorrow, but she refused, she insisted on coming today.
Qi Zheng expressed understanding and greeted her to sit back: “It must be because I didn’t see her on her birthday last week, so I’m **** off.”
Shen Zhilan looked at her daughter who was wriggling in Shen Zhibing’s arms, and sighed helplessly: “I really can’t do anything about this child, I have explained that my aunt is on a business trip temporarily, and she is still sulking.”
“Children are forgetful, even if they are angry.”
Aunt Xin brought a hot towel, wiped Qi Zheng’s face and hands, and soaked her in a cup of Jingui Oolong.
In the past, Yunlu Garden was Shen Zhibing’s independent residence, and no one else was allowed to come without special circumstances. Two years ago, because of Qi Zheng’s thread, Shen’s father and mother came here, as did her brother and sister, and now Susu is the most frequent one.
Shen Zhilan is no longer as restrained as she was two years ago, but she is still sorry for the sudden interruption: “I sent you a message, I guess you were driving and didn’t see it.”
Qi Zheng really saw the news just now, she said with relief: “It’s normal to come and sit on the way, sister don’t think it’s disturbing.”
Shen Zhibing’s relationship with his family was neither good nor bad for many years, but there was a slight estrangement. At first, Qi Zheng thought that it was because her family was strict with her and put too much pressure on her. Later, she slowly opened up and found that it was not entirely the case.
Shen Zhibing’s eldest brother broke his leg, so he naturally absorbed most of his parents’ energy, and Shen Zhilan was a casual and comfortable character, so he didn’t pay much attention to the changes in his sister’s mind. After a long time, Shen Zhibing felt that she was ignored by her family, and she seemed to be a dispensable existence.
The greatest sense of existence probably came from being chosen by grandpa to be the heir, and from then on began a devilish experience. She hides the loss and loneliness in her heart, wraps herself up with more and more powerful strength, and becomes a strong person in the eyes of others. But no one can see the fragile and real little girl who just longed to get a little more care and care from her family.
Susu didn’t reluctantly follow her mother home until after dinner. She yawned several times before leaving, but she still tried to keep her spirits stressed: “Auntie, come over with Aunt Zhengzheng early tomorrow.”
Shen Zhibing touched her head and sent them to the door: “Okay, I’ll go after breakfast tomorrow.”
**
The next day, they passed very early as promised last night. Now everyone in the Shen family hopes that they will come back more often, especially Mother Shen. Missing the years when her daughter grew up, she regretted it later, but she didn’t know how to make up for it.
Shen Zhibing was called by the old man to the study, while Qi Zheng chatted with Shen’s father and Shen’s mother in the living room. In my own home, Susu is more lively and knows how to greet people.
She stuffed an apple into Qi Zheng’s hand for a while, and handed her the pitted orange for a while, and kept saying, “Aunt Zheng Zheng, eat this.”
Qi Zheng didn’t perfunctory her, but shared half with her and finished eating.
Susu then leaned into her mother’s arms contentedly, and from time to time she got out of her head and smiled at Qi Zheng.
Father Shen didn’t say much, but he wasn’t as polite as in the past. He asked about work, and then he read the newspaper. Mother Shen pulled Qi Zheng and asked a lot of details: “Xiao Qi, you accompanied Xiao Bing to a follow-up visit recently, what did the doctor say?”
“Mom, she’s completely healed. Starting next month, she won’t even need a follow-up.”
Shen Zhibing’s current frequency of follow-up visits is already very low, but they still comply with it on time, without any slights.
Mother Shen was completely relieved: “That’s good, it’s finally complete. Otherwise, my father and I will feel guilty for a lifetime.”
From childhood to adulthood, the strongest and most capable child seemed to be the most ill one. After learning about Shen Zhibing’s illness, how could they, as parents, be indifferent, but the way they got along for many years made them unable to start, and they didn’t know how to approach their daughter, let alone how to accompany her to face it.
Shen Zhibing was also reluctant to reveal her vulnerability to her family. It was enough for her to heal her wounds in Qi Zheng’s arms. But Qi Zheng persuaded her: “If that home can still be a harbor, why don’t you give yourself a chance?”
Shen Zhibing shook his head pessimistically: “Even if it’s repaired, it’s not what I wanted at first. I’ve passed the age where I most want them to rely on and take care of me, and I can’t face their care.”
Qi Zheng understood their respective difficulties, she did not force Shen Zhibing, nor did she distance herself from her family. She is like a bridge, slowly connecting them who were once separated by the river.
Qi Zheng accompanied Shen Zhibing back to the mansion on every important festival, and always found opportunities to invite Shen’s father and mother to Yunlu Garden for dinner, and sometimes even to the suburban villa. The more contact, the less embarrassment between them. Shen Zhibing saw the concern in their eyes and couldn’t help but respond.
But she also said frankly: “I can’t be as close to them as my elder brother and sister. I think it’s strange.”
She is used to being independent and strong, and used to resolve her grief and disappointment by herself. Her fragility and truth are only revealed in front of Qi Zheng alone. Even her own parents felt distant, but the complaints that had been hidden for many years were being resolved little by little.
At times like this, Qi Zheng would hug her and give her the most tender care and support, never refuting her thoughts, let alone accusing her of being ruthless: “Only by reconciling with the past can you truly reconcile with the past. Reconcile yourself.”
Those pains that have been experienced on the way of growing up will become the imprint of a lifetime and accompany them for a lifetime. But some wounds will become a scar, and some will repeatedly purify and never heal, destroying a new life from time to time.
Qi Zheng hopes that in the future life of Shen Zhibing, she will no longer be entangled by the past, and she hopes that the regrets of the past will stay in the past.
Shen Zhibing understood her intentions and knew that Qi Zheng’s family could not be reconciled. As a dream for his lover and a chance for himself and his family, Shen Zhibing tried to get in touch with them more.
After a long time, it is not as difficult as imagined.
Until Susu was born, a fresh life gave each other new expectations. Shen Zhibing watched that little dumpling grow up little by little, would entangle her and act coquettishly with Qi Zheng, lie on top of them and fall asleep without realizing it, and there was still saliva on the corner of her mouth when she was carried away.
Only then did Shen Zhibing look at the family members she had been estranged from from another angle: her parents were getting old, and they hoped they could go home to eat more often; the eldest brother’s legs were not good, but he took on the role of always accompanying his parents; Shen Zhilan, who is free and easy by nature, gave birth to a child soon after getting married, so she had to reduce the frequency of going out to collect wind.
It is precisely because of Susu that Shen Zhibing and Qi Zheng have never been under the pressure of having children. They discussed this issue, but agreed that the current work is too busy, not suitable and unable to take care of a new life.
If they decide to bring their child into this world, they must give her all the love, they are not ready to be so rash and irresponsible.
When Shen Zhibing came down from the upstairs, what he saw was a happy scene, no different from other ordinary families.
Everyone is making their own sacrifices and efforts for this family. Shen Zhibing no longer cares about what she lost, because she got more from Qi Zheng.
She really faced herself and really learned to reconcile with the past.

The pain in the growth process is probably the most difficult to repair and the most stamina
