Chapter 417 It's best to have some conscience.

During dinner that evening, Lu Cheng looked at Shen Li and asked gently, "Li Li, should I have some cabinets designed to display your stones?"

Shen Li thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, we'll put the big ones in the garage first. I'll pick out some of the better ones and make them into ornaments. We're only using half of the fourth floor now, so let's turn the other side into a collection room to store all these treasures in the house."

Lu Cheng replied, "Okay, I'll have someone arrange it tomorrow."

Shen Li looked up at the people at the table and said slowly, "I plan to go back to the capital next week. The children are all on holiday, so it's a good time to go back and visit them."

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Didn't we say before that we'd let the kids come to Shenzhen for a visit?"

Shen Li's tone softened slightly: "I want to go back and see my parents and grandparents; they're getting older."

Huanhuan immediately chimed in, nodding her little head, "Yes, I miss Grandpa and Grandma too!"

Actually, they had just returned to Beijing during the Chinese New Year.

But Shen Li always thought about her grandparents. The old folks were getting on in years, and even if she could spend two months with them a year, they didn't have much time left.

So whenever she has free time, she wants to go back and spend more time with them.

Lu Cheng nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go back with you."

Lu Zhou's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "No, what about me? You've all left, what am I going to do?"

Lu Cheng glanced at him, his tone slightly teasing: "Keep up the good work and strive to become a big shot as soon as possible."

Lu Zhou wore a long face and silently complained to himself: He increasingly felt that choosing to enter politics was a mistake. He had no freedom at all compared to the two of them, and even his older brother was more carefree than him.

He glanced sideways at Lu Cheng and snorted defiantly, "If I really become a big shot, I'll definitely have to take a position in the capital. Wouldn't that just benefit you two even more?"

Lu Cheng and Ming Xiangyang exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything, only a hint of a smile flashed in their eyes.

Seeing Lu Zhou's aggrieved expression, Huanhuan smiled and comforted him, "Third Uncle, don't be sad, I'll bring you a gift when I go back!"

Lu Zhou immediately put on a pitiful look and ruffled Huanhuan's hair: "Hmm, our Huanhuan is the best girl. Huanhuan, why don't you stay and keep Third Daddy company? Don't go back with your Mommy."

Huanhuan frowned and shook her head seriously: "That won't do, I miss my brothers too."

Lu Zhou gently tapped her forehead and said helplessly, "You little ingrate."

To make up for Lu Zhou, Shen Li spent extra time with him over the next few days, indulging in tenderness every night until he was completely "fed" into submission before she was willing to stop.

Shen Li had always felt that her desire for these romantic feelings was not particularly strong.

Whether it's because she's getting older or because Ming Xiangyang helped her regulate her body, she's recently found that her desires are stronger than before.

However, the group was quite harmonious and got along well with each other.

A week later, Shen Li, along with Huanhuan, Feng Ye, Feng Hua, Zhao Qing, and others, flew back to Beijing.

It only takes a little over three hours to fly from Shenzhen to Beijing.

Shen Li didn't tell her family before coming back this time, thinking she would give them a surprise.

Zhao Qing was very efficient and had already arranged for someone to pick them up at the airport, ensuring a smooth journey back to the Shen family's old residence.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a noisy commotion inside, a complete mess.

Shen Li's brows furrowed instantly.

"Dad's car is here too. Looks like we have guests. But the noise doesn't seem like we're entertaining guests," she said in a low voice.

No sooner had the words left her lips than a woman's heart-wrenching cry pierced the noise: "Mom! You have to stand up for me! We're all family! They've been watching Changhai get trapped in the stock market, and they've done nothing!"

Shen Li strode into the courtyard and saw a crowd gathered at the main gate. Her grandmother was frowning and looked very upset, clearly annoyed by the commotion.

Standing to the side, Mr. Shen's tone was somewhat reproachful: "Third son, you need to speak from your conscience! I specifically asked Qingnan, and he also told his uncle to sell the stocks immediately, but he wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on taking a chance!"

Aunt Shen wiped away her tears and cried out, "But he didn't say the stock market would crash like this! If we had known, we would never have invested all our savings!"

Mr. Shen was quite angry at her unreasonable behavior and raised his voice: "Even if I told you it would fall, would Luo Changhai believe me? He made a little money back then and got all arrogant. Who would listen to him?"

"I don't care!" Shen Sangu retorted, acting like a rogue.

"Brother, you must have inside information! Otherwise, why would Qingnan sell his stocks at this crucial moment? You deliberately didn't call to warn me, just watching our family fall apart!"

Mr. Shen was both angry and helpless: "What inside information? All those soaring stocks are from overseas. How could I possibly know about market trends?"

"Qing Nan is just keeping a calm and collected attitude, knowing when to stop while things are going well. It has nothing to do with any inside information!"

Shen Sangu persisted, "I don't believe it! How could Qingnan have thrown it so skillfully if no one had reminded him? You must have told him something!"

Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Shen Li understood—the reason why Aunt Shen came to make trouble at this time was probably because she had just learned about Luo Changhai's loan to speculate in stocks.

That makes sense. Luo Changhai made some money from stock trading before, and Aunt Shen bragged about it to the relatives for quite a while.

Little did they know that in less than a month, they would fall from grace and even have to mortgage their house to pay off debts.

It wasn't until today, when debt collectors came knocking on her door, that she panicked and ran to her parents' home to cause trouble.

Shen Li stepped out from behind the crowd, her voice clear and cold, with a strong penetrating power, instantly silencing the noise in the courtyard: "Third Aunt, just say what you have to say. Don't make a scene here and bother Grandma. Grandma is almost ninety years old and can't take this kind of noise from you. Have some conscience."

Everyone turned around when they heard her voice.

Shen's mother spotted her immediately, her face lighting up with surprise: "Lili? You're back?"

Shen Li nodded to her mother: "Yes, I came back to see you."

Grandma Shen opened her blurry eyes, and when she saw that it was her, her brows gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face: "Lili is back, come here quickly and let Grandma see you."

Shen Li walked quickly to her grandmother's side and replied with a smile, "Yes, Grandma, I'm back."

Huanhuan followed behind, sweetly calling out, "Hello, Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa!"

The two elderly people looked at Huanhuan, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll and looked just like Shen Li, and their smiles deepened. They nodded repeatedly and said, "Good, good, my dear great-granddaughter is back."

Mrs. Lu quickly stepped forward, hugged Huanhuan tightly, and affectionately patted her head: "Oh, my good granddaughter, you're finally back! Why didn't you call Grandma beforehand? Otherwise, Grandma would definitely have driven to the airport to pick you up."

Huanhuan nestled happily in her arms and said in a clear, sweet voice, "Mommy said she has a surprise for everyone!"

Shen Li glanced around the courtyard and asked, "Where are the others, Boss?"

Lu's mother quickly said, "They're playing in their own yard. I told them not to come out and join in the fun. It's an adult matter, don't let the children get involved."

Shen Li nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mom, please take Huanhuan to find her brothers."

"Okay." Mother Lu picked up Huanhuan and turned to leave. Seeing this, Second Uncle also left to avoid causing trouble.
