Chapter 182 Father Shen
Lin Yuxi looked at Shen Minghui's expression with interest and asked jokingly, "Are you shocked?"
Shen Minghui took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil. He looked up at Lin Yuxi and pulled a bitter smile on his face: "A shock? Not really. I just think this plot is so absurd and ridiculous!" As he spoke, he loosened his hand that was tightly holding the coffee cup and rubbed his brows.
Lin Yuxi took a sip of coffee and raised her eyebrows, "Hmph, stop being so stubborn. Look at your expression just now, it's almost as bad as Bao Gong's."
Shen Minghui shook his head helplessly, "I just didn't expect this time-traveling girl to be so weird and have such thoughts."
He frowned, his eyes full of thought, "So how should we deal with this? We can't just let this plot continue to develop."
Lin Yuxi crossed her arms and smiled, "What's going on? How is that possible! When I first met Su Yao, I realized something was wrong and called the police without saying a word. Didn't you notice that Su Yao had been taken into custody?"
Care?
Shen Minghui recalled the scene when he saw Su Yao just now. The woman next to her was smart and capable with a military temperament, obviously extraordinary.
There were a few people around her who seemed careless but were actually keeping an eye on her all the time. The vigilance in their eyes was self-evident.
Shen Minghui nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "It is indeed a wise move for you to hand her over to the authorities. It not only ensures your own safety, but also can control the chaos she may cause to a certain extent.
After all, the power and resources of the authorities are not comparable to ours, and they have more professional means and methods to deal with this special situation."
He paused, and then said: "However, this also means that things may become more complicated and sensitive. For the authorities, Su Yao is of great value, and research work will surely be carried out in full swing. But at the same time, if Su Yao has ill intentions towards us, the lethality will only be greater!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Handing it over to the authorities is the most appropriate solution at the moment. As for her lethality, if she can break through the official defense network and attack us, then she's capable!" Lin Yuxi curled the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled.
Shen Minghui frowned slightly and said solemnly: "That being said, we cannot completely let down our guard. We must always pay attention to official movements, so that we can be prepared in advance in case of any accidents."
"Well, I know. Su Yao's biggest bargaining chip is her understanding of ancient times! But in terms of understanding, how can she compare to us?"
She and Shen Minghui have traveled through ancient times for quite a few times in total. In these hundreds of years, does she really think that they are old but have no experience?
Moreover, she didn’t have to worry about being exposed when she suddenly knew these things. It was just because the original owner was a time traveler, and in order to prevent herself from knowing anything when she really traveled through time, she majored in history in college, and studied the traditional politics, economy, and culture of ancient times very carefully for several years.
As for how well she learned, you can tell by the fact that when she graduated, several supervisors were vying to have her continue to work on research projects with them!
And she has another account that is neither hot nor hot...
It’s a perfect match for your major, this isn’t it!
……
After separating from Lin Yuxi, Shen Minghui drove back to the old house.
The car stopped in the yard of the old house, Shen Minghui took a deep breath, opened the door and got out. This old house carries many of his memories, but his mood is particularly complicated at this time.
Walking into the hall, Shen Minghui saw his father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He narrowed his eyes slightly and began to look closely at his father, whom he had not paid much attention to before.
"Dad." Shen Minghui called out and walked to the sofa and sat down.
Father Shen put down the newspaper, glanced at Shen Minghui, and asked, "Why are you free to come back today? Isn't the company busy?"
Shen Minghui smiled and said, "No matter how busy I am, I have to come back to see you." Then he picked up an apple and peeled it while casually saying, "Dad, how are you feeling lately?"
Father Shen snorted, "I'm in good health. But you, don't just work all day. You should also pay more attention to your lifelong affairs."
Shen Minghui's heart moved, and he paused, "Dad, don't worry about me, I know what's going on. But you, aren't you lonely?"
Father Shen frowned, "What are you talking about? I am alone and at peace."
Shen Minghui peeled the apple, cut it into small pieces and handed it to his father. "Dad, I think if you can find a companion and take care of each other, I will feel more at ease working outside."
Father Shen took the apple and glared at Shen Minghui, "Why are you suddenly talking about this today?"
Shen Minghui smiled and said, "I am just thinking about you. You have worked hard for this family for most of your life. Now it is time for you to enjoy your life and have someone to talk to and take a walk with."
Father Shen was silent for a while, then sighed, "I'm old now, and I don't want to bother with these things."
Shen Minghui quickly said, "Dad, how can this be considered a hassle? I'm serious. If you have this idea, I can help you keep an eye out for it."
Father Shen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I don't have that in mind."
Shen Minghui rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't have this idea? Who in the original plot would marry a young girl at such an old age? Don't even mention that Su Yao seduced him. If he hadn't been scared, it would be useless for anyone to seduce him!
"Dad, don't refuse so quickly. Maybe one day you'll change your mind if you meet the right person."
Shen Minghui continued to persuade earnestly, "Besides, it's boring for you to be alone at home. Find a companion to keep you company and take care of you in life, right?"
Father Shen looked at Shen Minghui with a puzzled look on his face, frowned slightly, and asked: "What happened to you today? You are suddenly so active and proactive in finding a partner for me. It's not right."
Shen Minghui's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "Dad, I really don't have any other thoughts, I just think you are too lonely. You have worked hard for this family for most of your life, and I certainly hope that you can live a happier and better life in the days to come."
Father Shen shook his head slowly, sighed and said, "You, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Is the company facing some difficult problems, and you want to use this trick to divert my attention and stop me from worrying about it?"
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Shen Minghui said helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I really am thinking about you with all my heart."
Father Shen was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly and earnestly, "Minghui, I know you are filial and always think of me in your heart. But this kind of thing is about fate, you can't force it, and you can't be impatient."
Upon hearing this, Shen Minghui said hurriedly, "Dad, I understand what you mean, but sometimes you have to fight for your fate. You see, apart from taking a walk in the park every day, you just watch TV at home. Your life is so monotonous. It would be so warm if there was a caring person by your side, who could cook and take walks with you."
Father Shen was slightly moved, but still insisted: "Child, you don't understand. Living together is not as simple as you think. Personality, habits, family background, everything must be considered."
Shen Minghui held his father's hand and said firmly, "Dad, I understand all this. But you can't shut yourself off because of these concerns. You are so mature and generous, you will definitely meet someone who understands and supports you."
Father Shen patted Shen Minghui on the shoulder, his eyes full of love: "Son, I understand your feelings. It's just that I'm old and don't want to bother with these things. I just want to live every day quietly."
Shen Minghui said unwillingly: "Dad, how can you call this a struggle? This is the pursuit of happiness! Just tell me a sure thing, if there really is such a suitable person, are you willing to try to get along with him?"
Father Shen was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh: "Okay, son, if there is such a fate, Dad will give it a try."
Shen Minghui immediately smiled happily: "Dad, that's right! Just wait and I will definitely find you a partner that will satisfy you."
As soon as he arrived at the company the next day, Shen Minghui called Wang Hao into the office.
As soon as Wang Hao entered the room, he saw Shen Minghui standing in front of the window with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a serious face.
"Wang Hao, I have a task for you." Shen Minghui turned around and stared at Wang Hao sharply.
Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he straightened up quickly and asked, "Boss, go ahead."
Shen Minghui walked to the desk, sat down, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said slowly: "Find a wife for my dad."
Wang Hao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Boss, you...what did you say?"
Find a wife for Mr. Shen?
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Shen Minghui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say. I want you to find a woman who is open-minded, cheerful and generous, and preferably one who likes traveling and can take my dad around."
Wang Hao touched the back of his head and said cautiously: "Mr. Shen, this is not easy to find, and why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"
Shen Minghui leaned back in his chair, his eyes becoming somewhat profound. "Humph, rather than letting those women with ulterior motives get close to my father and destroy the peace of our Shen family, it would be better for me to take the initiative and eliminate the hidden dangers in advance."
Wang Hao nodded, not quite understanding, "Then Mr. Shen, where should I start?"
Shen Minghui thought for a moment and said, "Go to the major dating websites and pay attention to those dating agencies with good reputations. Also, mobilize the connections around you. Remember, you must be careful and don't introduce just anyone to my dad."
Wang Hao quickly responded: "Yes, Mr. Shen, I will do my best."
Shen Minghui stood up, walked to Wang Hao, and patted him on the shoulder. "Remember to do this in secret, don't make a big fuss. If this is done well, you will definitely benefit from it."
Wang Hao showed a determined expression, "Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will live up to my mission." After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly left the office.
Shen Minghui looked at Wang Hao's departing back, his eyes dark and hard to read: no matter what kind of mentality Shen's father had when he married the heroine Su Yao in the original plot, there is no doubt that he became the knife for the heroine to take revenge on Boss Shen!
Father Shen... Why on earth did he get involved in this marriage that was destined to be full of turmoil?
……
In the following days, Wang Hao was extremely busy, constantly screening various candidates. Shen Minghui would ask about the progress from time to time, and his cold and decisive look made Wang Hao dare not slack off.
Finally, one day, Wang Hao excitedly walked into Shen Minghui's office with a stack of documents.
"Boss, I found several suitable candidates." Wang Hao said excitedly.
Shen Minghui took the information and read it carefully, his expression still serious.
"This one won't work, it looks too delicate. This one won't work either, the eyes aren't pure..." Shen Minghui shook his head as he looked at them.
Wang Hao was rubbing his hands nervously, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Wait, this one is not bad." Shen Minghui's gaze stopped on a photo. The woman in the photo had a bright smile and an open-minded look in her eyes.
The woman looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with long, smooth hair casually draped over her shoulders, a pair of bright and lively big eyes under her curved eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and lips with a natural redness.
Her skin is not particularly fair, but it exudes a healthy glow.
From the background of the photo, we can see that she is standing on a vast grassland, wearing simple sportswear and carrying a large travel backpack, and her posture looks particularly agile.
The woman's name is Gu Wanting. She used to be a freelancer, mainly engaged in photography and travel writing. She loves traveling and has traveled all over the country. She has left her footprints in famous mountains and rivers in China. She has also traveled abroad alone with a backpack to experience different customs and cultures.
It's good to like traveling. In the original story, didn't Shen's father like to wander around? So this time he found a professional to accompany him everywhere. Isn't that filial?
(Original plot: Shen Bin: Do you think I like going out to play? It’s because my son and his wife don’t get along, so he has to find ways to separate them? He’s really in trouble!)
Looking at the information again, it said that she had a short marriage, and she separated peacefully from her ex-husband due to personality differences, and they had no children to tie them down.
Good, decisive enough!
"She's the one, you go and arrange it." Shen Minghui handed the information to Wang Hao.
"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away." Wang Hao took the information and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, with Wang Hao's careful arrangement, Shen Bin met Ms. Gu Wanting.
Shen Minghui was observing secretly, and when he saw the long-lost smile on his father's face, his heart was relieved a little.
Shen Minghui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father and Ms. Gu were talking happily and getting along well. But he still did not let down his guard and found an opportunity to pull Wang Hao aside.
"Wang Hao, the arrangement this time is pretty good, but you have to pay close attention to the follow-up situation." Shen Minghui's expression was serious, and his eyes showed unquestionable firmness.
Wang Hao nodded quickly, "Boss Shen, don't worry, I will always keep an eye on it."
