Chapter 93 (2/2)

Hearing the noise from the door, he turned around to find his brother and his other daddy had returned. He was so excited that he almost jumped and reached out wanting his brother to hug him but seeing the teethers in his hands, he was reluctant to throw them away. So his happy face got all scrunched up. In the end, he looked at Xiao Yu and then looked down at his teether with a scrunched up expression, unable to decide.

That made Xiao Yu laugh but since he couldn’t completely carry TaoTao, he went over to kiss his cheek, “Brother’s back.”

TaoTao smiled to the point his eyes disappeared. He probably thought this was for the better as well since he could get kisses without throwing away his teethers.

Shen Fu furrowed his brows at the back. Why did he have a feeling that his meat bun was only close to Xiao Yu and Lin ShuYi but not him?

Then he saw TaoTao looking at him and waving his teether, “Daddy~ Eat~”

Seeing the teether dripping with drool, Xiao Yu couldn’t help it and laughed, “With how you ate this, daddy wouldn’t want it.”

With much deliberation, as if he understood, he very reluctantly handed over the one on his right that hadn’t been touched, “Eat~”

Shen Fu felt his heart melt and lifted his younger son up a little, “TaoTao is so cute.”

TaoTao wasn’t scared in the least and smiled happily.

Shen Fu wanted to raise him higher but Aunty Chen stopped him, “Don’t do too much movements like this that’ll get him excited.”

Shen Fu obediently held TaoTao in his embrace instead, while TaoTao moved around, clearly wanting more. Shen Fu kissed TaoTao on the forehead and said, “Understood.”

TaoTao wasn’t a normal child, the stuff that a normal kid could play with his dad, he couldn’t enjoy. His surgery could only be done when he was at least five years old and this illness would impact his physical growth as well. He would grow up slower than other kids his age and that was why he couldn’t walk properly even being a year and three months old. The good news was that since his birth, he only had one major attack and that was when his illness was diagnosed. After that, the orphanage had controlled it pretty well, even his weight had been steadily increasing. Thus, before his surgery, they needed to be careful and not let him have any mishaps.

That night, Shen Fu voluntarily contacted Shen Yan.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Yan was seemingly asleep as his voice was husky and tired. “Hello? What do you need at the middle of the night.”

Shen Fu went straight in, “Does it take a lot to create a corporate charity foundation? On curing and treatments for congenital heart disease in babies.”

Brother Shen paused for a moment as his head cleared and asked, “Because of TaoTao?”

Shen Fu looked down and didn’t object.

Then, from the other side came the sound of his brother getting up and then Shen Fu heard the sound of his iPad unlocking. After a few moment he replied, “It’s not that hard.” Shen Fu didn’t say anything as he waited for his brother to continue. “You just need to send a request to the government and wait for it’s approval.’

Shen Fu then asked further, “What about the necessary documents? The Shen Corp. established it’s own charity before right?”

Brother Shen agreed before saying, “But do you want to use your name or the corp’s name?”

Before Shen Fu said anything, brother Shen chuckled, “If it’s under the Shen Corps name, I’ll invest more.” Knowing that he was going to say more, Shen Fu didn’t answer and predictably he continued, “But, how are you going to pay me back?”

He was very familiar with his brothers ways of taking advantage of someone’s misfortune, but he thought about TaoTao and let it pass this time, so, he asked, “What do you want me to repay you with?”

On the other end, brother Shen laughed out loud, clearly happy about knowing his little brother’s weakness. “Actually I already prepared everything and sent in the request, after I came back from S City.”

Shen Fu’s eyes widened and he said, unable to control his glee, “You really are my brother.”

Hearing his brother’s pampering, brother Shen only rolled his eyes, “I have my demands.”

“What are they?”

Brother Shen squeezed the paperwork in his hand and said, “It’s about time you come to Shen Corp and help me out, right? How long do you plan on loitering around for?”

Shen Fu was completely dumbfounded. If he knew this was his demand, he wouldn’t have agreed so easily, not in this lifetime.

A long time ago the Shen old man had wanted him to go work in the Shen Corp. He wasted a lot of effort but Shen Fu never agreed. Now, he walked right into it. Shen Fu felt the bitterness in his heart.

If he had said yes to Shen old man, he could still put it off, but this was Shen Yan. He probably had no way of escaping this one. Brother Shen had a hundred ways of dealing with his younger brother and Shen Fu was no match against him. Not only that, brother Shen had his hand on his Achilles heel.

Expectedly, hearing no response, brother Shen instantly changed his tone and let out a cold laugh, “You don’t want to? Then I’ll call right now to have Anna retract our request and decline all your request son half of the Shen Corp. As for a personal charity, you probably don’t have the money.”

Basically, if he didn’t agree, he’ll turn against him. Shen Fu almost wanted to swear* but they were real brothers so he couldn’t even do that. All he could do was hold it in and he almost got an internal injury from it.

(T/N is kinda like a yo mama joke but the swearing kind so he couldn’t say it cuz they have the same mom)

In the end, he could only back down, “Keep your word.”

Brother Shen smiled, pleased, “Don’t worry.”

Then he got hung up on.

Actually the request had been approved a hundred years ago and it was almost completed so there was no way he was going to retract it. Brother Shen was like an old fox. Even though it was something he wanted to do, he still managed to drag his brother down as a bonus.

As for why he wanted Shen Fu to come and help, the first being that he was really having a hard time alone and the second was…he was still alone, so if Shen Fu didn’t come back, he wouldn’t have time to date!!! How could this be fine if Shen Fu was showing off his wife and son!!

Zooming in on their sweet family photo to the max, brother Shen fumed at Shen Fu’s smile. There was no way he could swallow this one down. That’s what you get for showing off!!!
