CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 563: DAD ARRIVES

"For such a small matter, you have to trouble Ruan Ruan. You should really learn to get a driver’s license."

Shen Jianjun looked at Shen Siyuan, his eyes slightly disdainful.

"It’s nothing, Uncle. I don’t have much to do at home anyway."

"I thought you would come over by motorcycle." Shen Siyuan said.

"How long would that take? Besides, I’m carrying too much stuff. It’s not convenient on a motorcycle."

Thinking about the pile of things just stuffed into the trunk, it seemed reasonable.

"What did you bring?" Shen Siyuan casually asked.

"Eggs, chickens, and some vegetables grown in our field." Shen Jianjun replied.

"Bringing a few chickens is enough. There’s no need for the others. It’s not as if they’re not available to buy, and there’s no need to bring so much."

Aside from the free-range chickens from their farm which are hard to buy outside, every market sells the vegetables, so it’s really unnecessary to go to such lengths.

"Isn’t it different? Besides, you eat so much, how many days would this stuff last you?"

In Shen Jianjun’s view, he felt safer eating what they grew themselves.

Shen Siyuan didn’t want to argue with him, so he said no more.

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang spoke up, "Uncle has a point. You should get a driver’s license. It would be more convenient in situations like today."

Earlier, Shen Siyuan said he could use Sword Flight, but in situations like today, he couldn’t possibly bring Shen Jianjun flying back. Even if he could, flying back and forth would be too conspicuous.

So, Shen Siyuan accepted their suggestion.

"Alright, I’ll find some time to get a driver’s license."

For Shen Siyuan now, getting a driver’s license wasn’t difficult.

Ruan Hongzhuang was also very happy at this.

"This way, you don’t always have to rely on me or Taozi to drive."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"You just want me to drive, right?"

"What else?" Ruan Hongzhuang laughed.

"I knew it..."

"Alright, cheer up. Just think about how great it would be for us to go on road trips together. By the way, what kind of car do you like? You can check online when you have time, and I’ll buy it for you."

Shen Jianjun, who had been silent in the back seat, suddenly spoke up, "I’ll buy him the car."

When Ruan Hongzhuang heard this, she didn’t insist, and Shen Siyuan even turned to thank Shen Jianjun.

It’s just a father’s self-esteem; there’s no need to argue.

Besides, there’s no rule that says you can only own one car. Just choose a cheap one then.

"Are you living here now?"

Looking at the car driving into a community, Shen Jianjun glanced around through the car window, showing a face of surprise.

"Yes." Shen Siyuan responded.

At this moment, the community gate was opened, and a male and female management worker bowed towards the people in the car.

"The housing price in this community isn’t cheap, right?"

Shen Jianjun’s eyes showed a contemplative expression.

"Indeed, it’s not cheap." Shen Siyuan casually replied.

The house wasn’t bought by Shen Siyuan, but he had a general idea of the price.

"How much per square meter?" Shen Jianjun continued to ask.

"I’m not sure about that, but the houses here are generally worth several million each."

"That much?" Shen Jianjun exclaimed, his voice changing.

"The houses here are quite large. The average size is around 200 square meters, with a price of 100,000 per square meter, so each unit is around several million." Ruan Hongzhuang explained.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianjun’s face showed bitterness. He originally thought of buying a house here as a wedding house for his son. But now it seemed completely unlikely. Over the years, his chicken farm had earned him quite a lot, putting him in the millionaire bracket, but he didn’t expect to be unable to afford a house here.

As for why Ruan Hongzhuang drove the car in here, he wasn’t surprised at all.

He thought that it was because the house here was bought by Ruan Hongzhuang, after all, Eastern Shipping is one of the top ten shipping groups, and Ruan Hongzhuang is its sole heir. Living in such a place didn’t surprise him at all.

However, now that Shen Siyuan could live here, marrying and continuing to live in the woman’s house didn’t seem right, so he thought about buying a house but didn’t expect the prices here to be ridiculous.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan turned around and laughed, "Dad, were you thinking of buying me a house here?"

"I had the thought before, but after hearing you, I gave up. It’s too expensive. Even if I emptied all our savings, I couldn’t afford it." Shen Jianjun said self-mockingly.

He wasn’t someone who would boast and pretend.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced into the rearview mirror and laughed, "No need to worry about the house, Uncle. This house is already in Si Yuan’s name."

"Huh? Where did he get that much money? Did you give it to him?" Shen Jianjun was startled upon hearing this.

"No, it was... another wealthy person gave it to Si Yuan."

"Who was it? Was there something they wanted you to help with? Giving away millions just like that must be a big deal..."

Shen Jianjun’s thoughts raced, instantly considering many possibilities.

"Ask Mom when we get home. I’ve already told her, so I won’t waste my breath." Shen Siyuan said.

"You brat, such a big thing and you kept it from me and your mom." Shen Jianjun said, feeling sentimental.

"I didn’t mean to keep it from you. It’s just..."

"Alright, no need to explain. You’re grown up now. You have your life, no need to explain everything to me." Shen Jianjun said in a very open-minded manner.

This is the biggest difference between Shen Jianjun and Huang Huijuan, and it’s also the fundamental reason why Shen Siyuan’s family has always been so harmonious.

When Ruan Hongzhuang parked the car in the garage, luxury cars greeted their eyes, making Shen Jianjun click his tongue in amazement.

"Dad, no need to envy others. If you want this kind of life, it’s easy." Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

To him now, wealth was at his fingertips, nothing more than a bunch of numbers.

If he wanted money, just pulling out a few "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pills," countless wealthy elites would come waving cash.

"Better not. Your mom and I are living comfortably now, and you don’t need us to worry. It’s better not to complicate things. A good life isn’t always enjoyable, worries will surely come." Shen Jianjun said very openly.

It’s not because Shen Jianjun’s age led to profound life understanding, but rather because he was like this when he was young. If he really yearned for luxury, he probably wouldn’t have returned from Shanghai when he did. Back then, life in Shanghai was far better than in their rural hometown.

"How’s your mom doing? Has she lost weight being away?"

On the elevator, Shen Jianjun quietly asked Shen Siyuan.

"You’ll see her soon, won’t you? Besides, didn’t you video call while she was away for so long?"

"Can you tell through the video? She’s probably not eating or sleeping well alone out there." Shen Jianjun’s tone was filled with worry.

Ruan Hongzhuang stood behind them and covered her mouth, smiling softly. This Uncle Shen was truly affectionate, unlike his son, who was just a flirt.

"With Aunt Jiang there, are you still worried? She’s doing well."

"I’m worried they’re falling out. If Aunt Jiang gets mad, she’ll ignore her. Alone out there with no relatives, she’d be so pitiful." Shen Jianjun said.

Shen Siyuan: ???

Please don’t imagine these scenarios on your own, okay?

What kind of Merit did mom accumulate in her past life to meet a husband like dad?
