Chapter 220: Money is only a thing outside of one’s body, but love is priceless
During lunch break, Shen Chaoxi, who usually doesn't sleep, came here and actually took a rare nap.

When she woke up, she found that it was dark outside the window.

I raised my arm to check the time on my watch, but a big hand grabbed my hand.

The temperature of my hands is slightly higher than my body temperature, and they feel dry and familiar.

Only then did Shen Chaoxi realize that there was someone lying beside her.

I was sleeping so deeply that I didn't even notice when he came in and slept on the same pillow with me.

"What time is it? Are we going home?" Shen Chaoxi turned sideways and looked at the man's well-defined facial features in the dim light outside the window.

After more than a month of recuperation, the man recovered as before. He was no longer as thin as he was during the hospitalization, and there was a warmer temperament between his brows.

Shen Chaoxi once thought, if in another twenty or thirty years, the children are as old as him, and they hold hands by then, will the people around them still look the same as they do now, making people unable to look away?
Or, I have become accustomed to every hair on the other person, and my ability to adapt to gradual changes is very strong, so I still think he is the handsome guy when I first met him.

While Shen Chaoxi's thoughts were flying, the man sat up.

In fact, he only lay there for half an hour.

"It's almost five o'clock and it's raining outside."

Five o'clock?!
Shen Chaoxi didn't expect that he actually slept for more than three hours.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I don't usually sleep like this. Don't keep me awake at night!"

The girl sat up slowly, muttering softly as she threaded her hair with her fingers.

I am lazy and put most of the blame on the people around me.

Shen Chaoxi felt like a bit of a rogue, so she casually tied her hair into a ponytail and chuckled at the people around her.

She looked so cute and annoying that the man naturally held her face and kissed her hard.

"You're not going home today?"

Shen Chaoxi came out of the bathroom and heard Shang Jianghan talking while rubbing his hands and applying hand cream.

"Is it because of the rain?"

Shen Chaoxi asked the question and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out.

The drizzle was accompanied only by a gentle breeze, which definitely would not hold you back.

"My eldest and second brothers will come over tonight to discuss the ownership of grandpa's shares."

Shang Jianghan had no intention of hiding this matter, and it was not something worth worrying about.

In fact, Shen Chaoxi really didn't care. Bai Jinyu had brought up this topic last time at the sanatorium. At that time, Bai Jinyu's overly strong possessiveness made the two families unhappy.

Shang Jianghan saw that the girl was hesitant and thought that she was unwilling to stay here.

"If you don't like sleeping here, we can go back later."

It's a rare occasion for the three brothers to get together, so their conversation about old times will definitely not end too early.

Shen Chaoxi is not the kind of person who is pretentious.

She made the bed and smiled.

"No, it's nice here, it's okay to stay for one night."

It was a rainy day and it got dark at six o'clock.

When the lights were on, the aunt in the villa prepared dumplings for dinner in the evening. She specially sought opinions from several families and made adequate preparations.

At a quarter past six, Shang Jiangan and his family of three arrived at the villa, and a quarter of an hour later Shang Jiangchuan and his family of three also arrived.

After greeting each other, the two children surrounded Shen Chaoxi and began to ask various questions about the baby in their aunt's belly.

The atmosphere with children is relaxed and cheerful, and the first floor lobby is filled with constant noise.

The aunt in the kitchen prepared dumplings with three kinds of fillings and several home-cooked dishes.

Soon, the food was served.

I have to admit that the elaborate cooking skills with the purpose of keeping people are indeed very much to Shen Chaoxi's taste. On the table, the three-fresh shrimp dumplings were eaten by Shen Chaoxi and the two children.

I don’t know if it was unintentional or because they love Shen Chaoxi so much, but the two children are very interested in the things Shen Chaoxi likes.

Shang Qichao was amused by the three "kids" fighting over a plate of dumplings, and the atmosphere was more harmonious than ever before.

After dinner, the two children were arranged to go to the study to attend online tutoring classes, while several adults sat together to talk about business.

Halfway through the tea, Shang Qichao spoke out the story.

Lianzhong International has 65% family-controlled shares, which is rare among large domestic companies.

Among them, Mr. Shang still has ten shares in his hands. These were the remaining shares given to Bai Jinyu after she married into the Shang family when he asked the Bai family for help.

At present, Bai Jinyu still holds 15% of Lianzhong shares.

The remaining 40 shares were transferred half from Shang Qichao half a year before Shang Jianghan agreed to succeed as president.

That is to say, Shang Qichao and his son currently each hold 20 shares in Lianzhong.

The unexpected thing made Shang Jiangan unbelievable and he looked over.

Their parents have passed away, and they almost ruined the Shang family. Now, the two brothers never covet a penny from Lianzhong.

He also knew that the reason his grandfather held on to his shares was because of bias.

The old man couldn't bear to exclude the eldest son from the family business.

Money is something outside of our body, but affection is priceless.

The two brothers from the Shang family's eldest branch couldn't help but be moved when they heard that their second uncle was going to transfer their grandfather's shares to them.

Shang Jiangan expressed his unwillingness to accept it, and Shang Jiangchuan thought of his son and agreed after only a moment of hesitation.

Shang Qichao was very pleased. At least the scandals and even lawsuits that occurred in other families' fight for assets would not happen in the Shang family.

"I'm not discussing this with you. This is your grandfather's decision. It's about inheritance. There's nothing much to discuss. I'll have a lawyer come to you to handle the formalities when I have time."

Shang Jiangan wanted to speak more but was stopped by Shang Qichao with a gesture.

"Let's talk about the inheritance of the old house."

When he heard the word old house, Shang Jiangan's expression froze.

He is the eldest son and grandson and should inherit.

It has nothing to do with whether the parent’s decision is right or wrong.

He hesitated because if he inherited a part of the shares, he would have to give up the inheritance of the old house.

The old house is a symbol of the eldest branch of a family.

However, the precedent is that the eldest branch of the Zhong family voluntarily gave up the inheritance of the old house.

In fact, inheriting an old house has nothing to do with industry.

Although the buildings on the back street of Sijiu Square belong to individuals, they do not have the right to buy, sell or mortgage.

Shang Jiangan's palms were covered with sweat, thinking back to when his parents' business failed and they almost lost the entire business, they never thought of moving into the old house which was not subject to property rights restrictions at the time.

Their style of doing things is to safeguard their responsibilities and privileges as the eldest son of a merchant family.

Shang Jiangan didn't want to give up, but he didn't know how to start.

At this time, Shang Qichao said, "Someone from above has repeatedly come to me to discuss the matter of the old house. The general trend is already very obvious. That area will be handed over sooner or later. The old man is still here. What if one day... Boss, you are the future heir of the old house. What do you think?"

The topic changed direction, which caught Shang Jiangan off guard and made him feel ashamed of his previous guess.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Shang Qichao called his two nephews over not to push the problem to them. In fact, he already had an idea in his mind.

"How about this, after all, there are more than one family in that area. Let's find some time to invite the Zhong family over and we can discuss countermeasures. However, the leaders must be you and Zhong Shuoxi, so you two should meet and think about it first!"
