Chapter 52 Reward of 10,000 (2)
Chapter 52 Reward of 10,000 (2)
Xu Pingtao looked at Shen Wancheng again and said, "Yesterday I explained your identity to the media and informed them that I had found my two granddaughters. I also said that a banquet will be held soon for you to formally recognize each other."
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao nodded to indicate that they understood.
Xu Pingtao suddenly took out two bank cards from his suit pocket and handed them to Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao respectively.
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao exchanged a glance, understood each other's meaning, and finally accepted the bank card together.
Since they had accepted Xu Pingtao as their maternal grandfather, they had no reason to refuse the gift he gave them.
When Xu Pingtao saw that the two sisters had accepted the bank card, his smile deepened even more.
"There is five million in Wan Cheng's bank card, and one million in Yao Yao's bank card."
Shen Yao glared at him, "Grandpa, you're already showing favoritism on the very first day?"
Shen Yao didn't actually care about money; otherwise, all her money wouldn't have been with Shen Wancheng from beginning to end. She also didn't mind that Xu Pingtao treated Shen Wancheng better. When she said this, her eyes were full of smiles, clearly she was joking with Xu Pingtao.
Shen Wancheng was genuinely afraid that Xu Pingtao would treat her and Shen Yao differently. Shen Yao might not care about such things once or twice, but in the long run, it would pose a great threat and cause a rift in her relationship with Shen Yao.
Shen Wancheng handed the bank card she had received back to Xu Pingtao and said earnestly.
"Grandpa, Yao Yao and I have always done everything together since we were little, and we eat and use the same things. I hope you won't treat us differently when it comes to the things you give us."
Hearing Shen Wancheng say this, Xu Pingtao pretended to be angry, "Do you think I'm someone who favors one person over another? Besides, do I need your permission to give my own money to whomever I want?"
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao exchanged a glance, and Shen Yao also took out her bank card and placed it on the coffee table in front of Xu Pingtao.
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao said in unison, "Then we don't want it."
Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao, and Xu Pingtao stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
Shen Mei, an outsider standing next to them, was even more nervous, anxious, and a little angry.
She was worried that Xu Pingtao would be very angry and would no longer want to acknowledge Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao, and would kick the three of them out of the house.
The current house has four bedrooms and two living rooms, fully furnished, and decorated in a stylish and attractive way. Even a fool would not want to go back to that one-bedroom, one-living-room rental room with nothing in it.
Therefore, Shen Mei was very anxious and angry. How could Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao get angry with Xu Pingtao on the very first day of recognizing their relatives? They were too arrogant and thought they were something special.
Didn't they know that Xu Pingtao could take everything back with just a single word?
Shen Mei looked at the two bank cards in front of Xu Pingtao and thought that Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao's money were all in one place. Shen Wancheng said she didn't want Xu Pingtao to give her money differently from Shen Yao, but actually she wanted Xu Pingtao to give Shen Yao 5 million as well, so that Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao would have 10 million together.
Shen Wancheng is truly insatiable.
The stagnant atmosphere was broken by Xu Pingtao's laughter in the next instant.
"Haha, you two girls, why are you picking on me?"
Xu Pingtao pushed the two bank cards back to Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
Then she said to Shen Yao, "I gave your sister five million, but I'll only give you one million because I see you really like the black horse Qianli and I want to give it to you. Don't underestimate it just because it's a horse. After winning the championship, its value has skyrocketed. Plus, there are the initial expenses for raising the horse and the later maintenance, which will cost a lot. I've already paid two million for Qianli's upkeep at the horse farm in advance. All of this adds up to about four million."
Neither Shen Wancheng nor Shen Yao expected things to turn out this way. Shen Wancheng felt very apologetic and guilty for misunderstanding Xu Pingtao.
Shen Yao was too excited to focus on anything else.
"Are you really going to give Xiao Hei to me? Really? Grandpa!"
Xu Pingtao looked at Shen Yao and smiled, and he was happy too, "Really, really, it's for you."
"Grandpa, you're so kind, you're just too good to me."
Xu Pingtao raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Wancheng, asking, "Now you don't blame me for favoring you, right?"
Shen Wancheng smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I misunderstood you."
Xu Pingtao laughed again, "It's not that I misunderstood you, I have another reward for you."
"Hmm? What did I do to deserve a reward?"
Shen Yao understood, and she reached out to touch Shen Wancheng's stomach.
"Of course, it's my older sister who's going to give our family a little one!"
"Yaoyao is right, Wancheng, you are pregnant with triplets, which is such a rare thing. You are a great contributor to our family and must be rewarded. I will transfer another ten million to this card tomorrow."
Shen Wancheng had thought Xu Pingtao would be happy about her pregnancy, but she didn't expect him to be this happy.
She's only pregnant, hasn't given birth yet, and they're already offering her ten million.
Moreover, Shen Wancheng had not previously agreed to let Xu Pingtao give one of his children the surname Xu.
It seems that most of the stereotypes about Hong Kong Island people are correct. For example, people in Hong Kong Island love children very much, the more the better.
Returning to the topic of Shen Wancheng's pregnancy, Xu Pingtao said something else.
“Actually, in my opinion, Wan Cheng, it would be better for you to stay at the He Mansion to take care of your pregnancy, but I know you will definitely feel uncomfortable. You also refused to let the doctors and nurses stay with you, and I am really worried. I hope you will not refuse my arrangement to have a Filipino maid come to take care of your daily life.”
When Xu Pingtao said this, he looked at Shen Mei for the first time, "Although Shen Mei can cook, you are sisters, and you and Yao Yao can't always let Shen Mei cook."
Shen Wancheng looked at Shen Mei, who lowered her head in embarrassment because of Xu Pingtao's gaze, but she felt that there might be another meaning behind Xu Pingtao's words: Shen Mei could no longer be responsible for her meals.
In fact, Shen Wancheng had also thought about this issue, and now that Xu Pingtao brought it up, Shen Wancheng readily agreed.
"That's great, thank you Grandpa."
Shen Wancheng felt Shen Mei looking at her, so she met Shen Mei's gaze and said with a smile.
“I know you’re thoughtful, cousin. You can cook whenever you have free time. You can have a Filipino maid help you; she’ll definitely be more useful than Yao Yao.”
Hearing Shen Wancheng say this, Shen Mei's suspicious heart calmed down.
Shen Yao was displeased and shouted, "Sister, you're disgusted with me!"
Shen Yao's aggrieved look made everyone laugh.
Xu Pingtao also ate dinner at Shen Wancheng's place. The dishes were prepared and delivered by Xu Pingtao's orders, so Shen Mei didn't have to do anything.
When Xu Pingtao left that evening, he told Shen Wancheng that he would have breakfast delivered the next day, and the Filipino maid who takes care of Shen Wancheng would also come over.
It was already 8 p.m. when Xu Pingtao left. Shen Wancheng was probably experiencing some pregnancy symptoms, as she yawned and said she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
Shen Yao and Shen Mei were engrossed in watching TV when Shen Yao heard Shen Wancheng say she was going back to her room to sleep. She immediately jumped up from the sofa and said she wanted to go to Shen Wancheng's room with her.
She kept winking at Shen Wancheng, as if she had something to say.
Having no other choice, Shen Wancheng had to let Shen Yao go to her room with her.
-
Let me say a few more words about Shen Mei.
She's currently only feeling jealous and hasn't done anything particularly hurtful to the female lead. The female lead is just being cautious and won't dump her right now (also because the female lead still has a use for her).
Secondly, this story will absolutely not mistreat the female lead. Even the villains will not cause her any real harm; she has always made preparations and plans in advance. My dear readers, rest assured.
