High Society [Part I]

7 Life

The first time Tang Weijun saw Shen Dongzhi was when he was ten years old, his father, Tang Daishan, the personal secretary of Old Master Shen, took him by the hand and walked into the Shen family's old mansion.

Old man Shen's name was Shen Baiqian, just after his sixtieth birthday a few days ago, he was lying in the master bedroom of the old mansion, and various advanced instruments by the bed were guarding his dying life.

Tang Daishan did not take Tang Weijun into the ward, Tang Weijun waited bored under the corridor, so he walked along the corridor.

Shen Dongzhi, right at the end of this corridor.

She wore a white lace dress and black calfskin shoes, her soft head was braided with a gauze belt, and a beautiful huge bow was tied at the end, like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

Tang Weijun knew her, and there were many rumors about her.

Her mother is Grandpa Shen's only daughter, and she is Grandpa Shen's only granddaughter, but unlike ordinary Qianjin, she was brought back from prison, and Grandpa Shen loved her very much and didn't let anyone say bad things about her.

His gaze fell on her delicate little face, and Tang Weijun sat beside her and asked her carefully.

"Why aren't you happy?"

"Grandpa is sick" 

The five-year-old was undefensive, and she spoke quietly, her angelic face white and tender as snow, but with a heart-wrenching sadness.

Tang Weijun wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but he also heard that Grandpa Shen's illness was very serious and he was about to go to heaven.

Dad said that lying is not a good boy.

"Daishan, did you hear everything I said? I will give you the winter solstice, and you will guard her well"

Tang Daishan is a gentle and affectionate man, Shen Baiqian's serious illness makes him sad, he bows deeply to Shen Baiqian, like he treats his own father.

"Don't worry, Chairman, I will definitely take care of Miss"

"Well... Good...... Go...... Go and call the winter solstice over..." 

After a while, Shen Dongzhi and Tang Weijun walked in, Shen Dongzhi's clear and transparent big eyes were already full of tears, she walked to the bed and hugged Shen Baiqian with her small hand, her head pressed against his chest.

Shen Baiqian coughed a few times and kindly stretched out his hand to touch her head.

"Winter solstice, come, this is your brother"

With Shen Baiqian's words, Tang Weijun and Shen Dongzhi noticed that there was a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old standing on the other side of the room.

This young man has a slender figure and a handsome face, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, although he is not yet an adult, there is already a calm color between his eyebrows.

"Dongxing, come here, this is your sister"

There are some doubts about this young Tang family father and son, Shen Baiqian only has one daughter, Shen Qingyi, and Shen Qingyi only has one daughter Shen Dongzhi, and he has never heard of a grandson named Shen Dongxing.

Instead, Shen Dongzhi wiped his tears and got up from Shen Baiqian, walked to Shen Dongxing and stretched out his hand to him.

"Brother..."

Shen Dongxing's face also showed tenderness, he gently hugged Shen Dongzhi, and then took Shen Dongzhi's hand and stood next to
Shen Baiqian's hospital bed.

Shen Baiqian had tears in his eyes, said three good things in a row, and asked Shen Dongxing to take care of the winter solstice, and then let them leave leaving only Tang Daishan alone.

"Daiyama... I can't last a few days... Winter walking... Winter travel he is going back to the United States, until he returns, you have to guard the young lady... Guarding Miss..."

"Chairman, don't worry... Daishan must do his best..." 

Tang Daishan squeezed Shen Baiqian's hand and kept assuring him that Shen Baiqian was short of breath and closed his eyes forever soon after.

But what Shen Baiqian didn't expect was that before his seven sevens had passed, those jackals, tigers and leopards of the Shen family revealed their ambitions.

In particular, his sixth brother Shen Baiyuan almost immediately grasped the real power of the Shen family, and also bought and united lawyers, no matter how Tang Daishan used his will as a guarantee, they simply did not recognize Shen Dongxing.

After waiting for Shen Dongxing for a long time, for the safety of Shen Dongzhi and his will, Tang Daishan chose to leave.

He used his life savings to open a wood company in Xinjing, while operating while waiting for Shen Dongxing to pick up Shen Dongzhi, but not only did he not wait for Shen Dongxing, but also lost the news of the Shen family, the Shen family is like a steaming in the world, and Bi's bankruptcy is still more thorough.

These things add up to less than a month, at that time, Shen Dongzhi was just a child who had just turned five years old, plus it was Tang Daishan who went to the prison to pick her up, and later Tang Daishan went to Shen's house to take care of her, over time, as she grew older, Shen Dongzhi did not remember these things, only vaguely remembered that Tang Daishan seemed to have moved after adopting her, and the palm pearl life that was close to half a month did not leave any mark in her heart.

Tang Daishan was a thoughtful secretary, but not a qualified operator, and the wood company he ran kept losing money, and after the company's bankruptcy, he followed suit, leaving only his will to Tang Weijun.

After so many years, Tang Weijun had long been hopeless for the Shen family to pick up people, but he inherited the responsibility of Tang Daishan,—— protecting Shen Dongzhi.
