Chapter 90 - 90 89 So Poor

Chapter 90: Chapter 89: So Poor Chapter 90: Chapter 89: So Poor Wenyan never expected this.

She couldn’t see Shen Jingchuan at home when she wanted to, but ended up running into him on this variety show!

Could he also be planning to enter the entertainment industry?

That shouldn’t be the case; his one and only hobby should be cars.

At the same time, other members of the Shen Family were harboring the same doubts as Wenyan.

By now, Su Yang was no longer hospitalized; she just went to the hospital at four o’clock every afternoon for an IV drip.

She always kept Wenyan’s new variety show in mind.

So as soon as she was done preparing and sat down at the dining table, she didn’t even care about breakfast and immediately opened up a short video APP to search for their program’s live broadcast room.

She originally went there for Wenyan, but unexpectedly, she also saw her favorite singer from her younger years in the live broadcast room.

What surprised her even more was!!!

In the end, she actually saw her youngest son on the program’s live broadcast!

“Husband, take a look, who is this?” Su Yang instinctively handed her phone to Shen Yuan beside her.

But Shen Yuan didn’t seem surprised or shocked at all; he even looked a bit angry.

“I think he’s gone crazy wanting money.”

“What do you mean?” Su Yang frowned slightly, “Are you saying he’s on this show for money?”

Su Yang took back the phone, turning the volume to its lowest.

“Husband, we need to talk, about Jingchuan.”

Shen Yuan put down his chopsticks.

Su Yang asked him, “Did Jingchuan come to see you for money when I was in the hospital?”

“Yes, he came to me for money.”

“Did he come to ask you for money, or to seek investment from you?”

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

“Of course not, Mr. Shen!” Su Yang corrected, “Is asking for money the same as seeking investment from you? You are a conglomerate chairman, after all. So, you refused him in the end?”

“Yes, I have said that I don’t like him constantly dealing with those cars, so how could I possibly invest in that?”

Su Yang sighed, “But husband, he has decided to develop his career back home.”

Shen Yuan looked at Su Yang, “Did you give him money??”

Su Yang shook her head: “Not at all, I asked him if he needed my help, but he refused. I thought he was not in financial trouble. I was still in the hospital at that time, and I thought he didn’t want to burden me, which is why he didn’t mention his difficulties to me.

“But I didn’t expect him to take the initiative to come home to you. Husband, your relationship with your son has always been strained because of his hobby. I believe that this time he approached you voluntarily, it was a great opportunity to mend your relationship, why couldn’t you… why are you still unwilling to let go?

“The children are all grown up. Although we are parents to them, they are independent individuals. We shouldn’t, and can’t stop them from doing what they love.

“Jingxiu will inherit the Shen family business in the future, Jinghe has already made achievements in his circle, Jingcheng has his own business, even Yanyan we let her do what she loves. I value my studio so much that none of the five kids at home are into design, but I am not going to casually pick one to take over my legacy.

“Now that Jingchuan finally is willing to come back, why won’t you support him?”

“Because it’s dangerous! Have you forgotten, wife?” Shen Yuan took one of Su Yang’s hands, his tone very serious.

“Two years ago, in that competition, he almost died, and after being taken to the hospital, he lay there for a full three months. With so many hobbies available in the world for him to pursue, why does he have to pick this one? I think he has been abroad for too long and likes the thrill, but all I want is stability.

“Think about it carefully, wife. He came back because he had no money overseas. If after returning he still cannot raise funds, he surely can’t just slink back abroad, can he? Once he realizes that this path is not viable, whether abroad or at home, he will naturally switch to a different path.”

Meanwhile.

Shen Jinghe also saw Shen Jingchuan in the live stream.

And so did Shen Jingxiu.

However, they quickly came to the conclusion that Shen Jingchuan was indeed in need of money.

So broke that he had to make a public appearance on a show.

–

On the plane, Wenyan’s seat was arranged next to Qin Yan.

Though Qin Yan had long been on the international stage, she was very down-to-earth and friendly in private.

Wenyan felt comfortable talking to her.

But if she could choose, Wenyan wished she could be sitting next to Shen Jingchuan at that moment.

Because she wanted to figure out what had happened between her original self and him.

Since they were on a plane, it wasn’t convenient for the production crew to live stream. Once they landed and the live stream resumed, there wouldn’t be a chance for free conversation.

Shen Jingchuan, on the other hand, had been seated next to Xu He, far away from Wenyan.

Having no opportunity to talk, Wenyan simply connected to the plane’s wi-fi and began searching for information related to Alex Shen online.

With this search, Wenyan found out that Shen Jingchuan had just recently become popular.

Because of his outstanding looks!

Now, there were probably hundreds of thousands of people waiting by their phones for their plane to land so that the production crew could resume the live broadcast.

Because he wasn’t previously very popular, there wasn’t much information available about him.

Nevertheless, Wenyan followed the trail and entered his fan forum.

It was an online communication platform popular several years ago, outdated and hardly used by anyone now.

But it was on that old platform that Wenyan found some origins of the name Alex Shen.

Some said his real surname was Shen, but the organizers of the original competition were not very familiar with Chinese, so they transliterated “shen” as “shen”.

As Alex Shen himself was solely focused on the competition, he didn’t pay attention to these details. Thus, every occasion where his Chinese name appeared afterwards, it was transliterated as Alex Shen.

However, underneath that year’s post, someone pointed out a problem quite incisively.

That is— they deduced that Alex Shen’s relationship with his biological family mustn’t be good; otherwise, why wouldn’t he correct even a mistaken surname.

However, Wenyan couldn’t determine the exact reason. It might be that Shen Jingchuan intentionally kept it a secret.

Just like how her name on her ID card was actually Shen Wenyan, but she always referred to herself as Wenyan.

In this circle, it was countless the number of people who took stage names or changed their surnames.

–

And Wenyan wasn’t the only one browsing the internet at the moment.

There was also Min Xiasha.

As soon as the live streaming paused, she began searching for news about herself online.

She had thought that, among the seven guests invited by the production crew, she was the most popular after Jing Hao.

But unexpectedly, that Alex Shen’s current online popularity had already surpassed hers.
