Chapter 759: His Life (Grand Finale)
Just like his brother Shen Zhengting, he was a fair and handsome little boy right from birth.The little fellow’s name, Shen Zhengheng, was chosen by both Mr. Shen and Mr. Rong together.
As for his nickname—Mantou.
It came from his mother’s mouth.
The reason being that he was chubbier than his brother at birth, plump and cuddly, his mom said he looked like a big Northeastern mantou.
It can’t be called an exaggeration, no matter how you look at it, Rong Qingqing, as his mother, indeed felt this way.
So the nickname Mantou was settled, drawing some disdain from Rong Qingqing’s family and friends.
On the day Mantou turned one month old, the system bid farewell to Rong Qingqing formally, and thereafter, Rong Qingqing couldn’t call out the system anymore.
Truth be told, even when that hopeless system left, Rong Qingqing felt a bit reluctant for just those two small seconds.
But that was just a thing of those two seconds.
Compared to his brother Shen Zhengting, Shen Zhengheng was much cheekier and more mischievous, Shen Zhengting practically worried himself to pieces over this, always anxious that his brother might be too naughty one day and upset their mom, who would give him a stern lecture.
When Shen Zhengting officially became a first-grade student, Shen Xingwei brought Rong Ning home to meet the parents, learning that Rong Ning was Rong Kuo’s sister, a good friend of Rong Qingqing, and also a famous artist, Mr. Shen was very pleased with Rong Ning.
Shen Xingwei and Rong Ning got married at the end of the year after meeting the parents, Shen Xingwei’s wedding was organized single-handedly by Mr. Shen, following the couple’s wishes—not grand, but incredibly warm.
They only invited close relatives and friends from both sides.
Mr. Shen generously gifted them a luxury mansion worth millions as their wedding house, yet after marriage, the couple chose not to live there but in the large flat given to Rong Ning by Rong Kuo.
Of course, the couple spent many years traveling abroad for inspiration, spending very little time at home.
Two years after getting married, Rong Ning became pregnant and then gave birth to a son amidst everyone’s anticipation.
By then, it was truly confirmed that the Shen Family was flourishing with sons and lacking daughters.
Whenever Rong Qingqing went out with Rong Ning and saw other people’s soft and adorable daughters, she was filled with envy, and when she spotted a pretty little girl, she almost wanted to take her home as her own daughter.
After giving birth to her second son, Shen Jue had a vasectomy procedure done. Although he really desired a daughter, Shen Jue didn’t want Rong Qingqing to endure the pain of ten months of pregnancy and childbirth again.
Despite having lots of people to care for her and accompany her, some pain and suffering couldn’t be borne by someone else for Rong Qingqing.
Shen Jue felt pity for her, and Rong Qingqing naturally had no objections; although having no daughter was slightly regrettable, having two handsome sons made Rong Qingqing very content.
In Rong Qingqing’s own words, she never imagined she would get married, let alone have two children.
As a mother, Rong Qingqing shifted her focus to being with her kids; she still went to the company but never worked overtime unless absolutely necessary, even leaving work an hour early each day to personally pick her children up from school.
Rong Qingqing’s daily life was working when work was needed, playing when play was due.
Time flew by, and in no time, Shen Zhengting was already taking his college entrance exams.
As soon as Shen Zhengting finished his exams, Shen Jue dragged his eldest son to the company to learn the ropes from the bottom. During every summer and winter break at university, Shen Zhengting couldn’t avoid going to the company for training.
Shen Zhengting’s internship during university was also at Shen Group, and when he finally graduated, Father Shen and Shen Jue discussed and then directly appointed Shen Zhengting as the general manager of Shen Group.
Shen Zhengting took over Father Shen’s position, and Father Shen finally awaited his formal retirement, spending days vacationing everywhere with his wife Guo Lan.
Shen Jue certainly lived up to his name; he was extraordinarily absolute.
After two years of Shen Zhengting being the general manager, in the third year, Shen Jue ruthlessly proposed he wanted to retire too, pressing Shen Zhengting to take over the entire Shen Group as the newly appointed president.
Once Shen Jue stepped down from the president position, all his freed-up time was spent with Rong Qingqing.
Later, when a reporter asked Shen Jue why he exited the management of Shen Group so early?
Shen Jue said, "Because I feel I spend too little time with my wife. There are many places she wants to visit, but I never had the time to go with her. Now that we’re still able to move around, I want to spend my remaining time with her, accompanying her."
The thought occurred that morning when Rong Qingqing combed her hair and exclaimed to Shen Jue, discovering one hair with a half-inch white.
At that moment, Shen Jue suddenly realized, the children had grown up, and he and Rong Qingqing were no longer as youthful as when they first met.
The time and energy he spent at the company were far more than he spent on her.
But to Shen Jue, Rong Qingqing was far more important than Shen Group.
The company’s matters would only be endless, never fully resolved.
While she and he, were genuinely growing older day by day.
Receiving photos from his parents traveling far and wide, Rong Qingqing shouted about wanting to visit those places, the list growing year by year, but with the passage of years, not a single place was visited.
It was always because he was busy and couldn’t spare the time to accompany her for long trips, yet he was stubborn, not wanting her to go with anyone else, constantly promising her they’d go together once he was free.
So, at that moment, Shen Jue decided, while they were not yet old, while their health was good, he wanted to set all mundane matters aside and accompany Rong Qingqing to fulfill all her desires, to visit all the places she wished, and live joyously.
Shen Jue thought his life was redeemed because of Rong Qingqing, and he witnessed one miracle after another because of her.
Moreover, it was because of her that he experienced the ultimate love and joy in life.
Rong Qingqing, to him, was the heart that beat in his chest.
She was his heart,
and also his life.
