Do I have enough Lun Sang songs that barely fit to cover all these chapters

Qin Yuzhuo made a sound of exasperation and picked up one of the photos and stroking it, the corners have already faded, proof that the woman touched them often. But in fact, those marks were all fake. If you really cared about the photos, then naturally you would hang it up and keep them properly. How could you allow the photos to become old and yellow??

“These…These were taken not long after you were born…It’s a pity I wasn’t by your side when you were growing up. I wasn’t there with you through your happiness, anger, sadness, and joy…” Blablablabla.

Qin Yuzhuo looked like she was expressing her true feelings, but only she herself truly knew what it really was that caused her to tear up. But…she looked really good crying, with a gentleness found only in women. She had pitiful eyes and she wasn’t wearing any makeup. No matter how you looked at it, it was deliberate.

Shu Ning listened quietly, hiding the fact that he knew this was just a farce. When he was young he had only been led by the nose because he had never seen such shamelessness before. How foolish.

When Qin Yuzhuo was done with her crying, Shu Ning called her “mom”, and then the two embraced each other. The nanny at the door covered her mouth, feeling very touched and relieved.

Only, Shu Ning who had his head lowered had a gaze full of coldness. With curved lips, his hand subconsciously touched the woman’s stomach. In here, Shu Yao is growing up. As soon as he thought of that brat who looked so clever and obedient yet had a heart of poison, Shu Ning almost couldn’t resist the urge to get him miscarried. But if he had really done that, he’d be letting off Shu Yao too easily. Might as well watch him drool over the Shu Clan, the big meat pie, yet not being able to take a bite. That would be may more interesting!

Qin Yuzhuo brought Shu Ning out to have a big meal, her attitude filled with enthusiasm, and her eyes reddened easily. She liked to reach out to him and give him a rub or a squeeze, treating Shu Ning like her baby.

Shu Ning’s feelings towards his birth mother had already died, really, so he felt nothing. Anything she did only felt funny to him.

Early the next morning, Qin Yuzhuo’s team of teachers arrived. One by one they stood in the living room, both male and female, all outstanding people.

A month’s time quickly passed.

Etiquette and behavior were still acceptable. After all, a secondary school student’s basic English skills were just passable. Then there was knowledge which he needed to improve. His skin had also turned fair, looking just like a young master. As for his way of speech? Better talk less when the time comes. And his build…thin and withered as always. With a well-placed smile, he looked quite obedient.

A month’s time was too short, Qin Yuzhuo sighed. A sense of impatience flashed through her eyes, he was not raised by her side after all.

Qin Yuzhuo personally drove and hit the roads with Shu Ning, listening to some light music and saying a few words to him occasionally, hoping that Shu Ning wouldn’t be nervous. Shu Cheng’s attitude towards him was extremely important. After all, just one kid was fine, but add in a few more and things would have to be split between them. Shu Ning watched the scenery, curved the edge of his mouth, and did not respond.

Qin Yuzhuo was depressed. She was on the point of being driven mad with Shu Ning’s lack of care.

The car stopped in front of a teahouse, a very quiet place. Only members were allowed in. The attendants inside were dressed in Han Dynasty historical costumes, forming an interesting atmosphere.

They had just sat down when Qin Yuzhuo’s phone rang. As soon as she saw the call display she was completely frozen. After staying around him for so long, she knew that this call meant he wasn’t coming. She felt an immense disappointment and sadness, but fine, they’ve already married anyway. If the big one can’t come, there’s still the small one.

Originally she thought that even if Shu Ning was of no use, leaving him in the villa to spite Shu Heng was still good. After teaching Shu Ning a few underhanded tricks, Shu Cheng would start to lose patience with that eldest son Shu Heng with time, feeling that he did not care for his little brother and being cruel and jealous toward him. Then, the future inheritance rights of the company would be left to the child inside her stomach. as for Shu Ning, Qin Yuzhuo only planned to give him the position of manager.

All of the woman’s disdainful and inspecting gaze fell on Shu Ning’s face, and though Shu Ning’s head was down, he had already seen it from the reflection in the mirror, “Mom, are you not picking up the phone?”

You can’t pick up immediately, silly boy. Qin Yuzhuo picked up the phone and talked to Shu Cheng for about a minute or so.

They didn’t get to see the dad today. Instead, it was Shu Heng. He looked the same as from his memories in his past life. Dad hoped that Shu Ning and Shu Heng could meet each other once and get a good impression of each other before he joined the household. He told Shu Heng it was Qin Yuzhuo’s adoptive son, and that the matching surname was just a coincidence, that they’re not going in the family register. Shu Cheng’s intentions were quite clear. He cared about his eldest son’s feelings.

But who was Qin Yuzhuo? Full of schemes and patience, she immediately agreed, and even agreed that it should be so as well. Under the same roof, you don’t have to worry about the length of time. No matter how much the heavens favored Shu Heng, maybe one day he would get hit by a car as soon as he went out the door, right? Even if he was going to live into the hundreds, he was still just a high school student right now. If Qin Yuzhuo wanted to make him suffer so much he would rather die, she still had some confidence.

Shu Cheng felt so moved that he was speechless. When he put down his phone, he was still thinking about how gentle and pretty this young lady of humble birth, Qin Yuzhuo was. Oh the hardships she suffers for me, so much she compromised…

Shu Ning savored his tea, watching the secretly pleased yet dark expression flash past Qin Yuzhuo’s face.

“Baby, Mom is going to take you to see…your father’s eldest son. Don’t feel anxious and listen to me,” Qin Yuzhuo talked a bit about the grudge with rich and powerful families and pointed out how unbearable and disadvantageous business marriages are and making Shu Cheng sound as best as possible while making out Shu Heng and his mother to be cunning people. “Shu Ning, you have to remember. Right now your father doesn’t know how terrible his eldest son is, but you have to endure it, alright?”

“Mm.”

Qin Yuzhuo was also smart one moment and muddle-headed the next, she kept thinking that Shu Ning was foolish, telling him not to be like Shu Heng, that’s why she failed to pay attention and kept a definite impression on people. In the past life, Shu Ning gritted his teeth hatefully, and stood by the corner glaring with his big eyes, He couldn’t just throw himself on the ground and wait for Shu Heng who was passing by coincidentally to help him up.

Standing at the same place as the last life(one pit-fall leads to endless misery and regret), Shu Ning lamented, Qin Yuzhuo had already gotten Shu Heng’s bodyguard to leave, what comes after is his moment to make a move.

Far away, a tall figure slowly walked over, Shu Heng is very handsome with profound features, and his hair shimmered under the sunlight washed over his jet black hair. The Shu Heng of today did not exude the same pressure as he did as an adult, but the poker face technique is already in place and he was expressionless with a gaze that was cold as ice.

Qin Yuzhuo had not married Shu Cheng for long, it was normal for him to act like this.

Shu Ning’s stature is short, standing in front of Shu Heng he inclined his head, and looked up. Those big and round eyes seemed incomparably resplendent, innocent with no hint of evil.

Shu Heng stopped. The bodyguards weren’t around and a suspicious character had appeared on school grounds. A child? Doesn’t make sense→_→

“Big brother, can you take me to find my Mommy?”

“…”

“My Mom is just outside the west gate at the coffee shop,” Shu Ning stretched his hand out, revealing a pitiful look in his eyes, “I don’t know why Mommy wanted me to do this, but maybe she wants to see you?”

Shu Heng looked steadily at Shu Ning and took his hand. It was soft. Then, they walked to the coffee shop and Shu Ning happily sat by Qin Yuzhuo’s side before sipping on a glass of juice, “Mom, I got lost, Big Brother brought me back.”

Qin Yuzhuo stood up a bit anxiously, she was at a loss, still holding on to the corner of her skirt, “Xiao…Shu Heng, thank you. This…This child…is…”

Shu Heng turned and left.

Leaving just like that! Truly a male god, he’s got quite a character.

Shu Ning drank his juice while feeling the joy in his heart, ha ha ha ha, she’d been sold out by me and she still doesn’t know and still continued acting. How embarassing! Feels great.

Shu Ning had walked in with Shu Heng while holding hands, Qin Yuzhuo had seen it as well. She was thrilled, but at the same time, a crack appeared in the perfect expression. She tried anxiously to ask what happened, about Shu Heng’s attitude, and also how Shu Ning felt. Shu Ning naturally talked about the good sides, if not he would be locked into a dark room like the last life.

He had been starved there for two days and two nights, Qin Yuzhuo then held the weak Shu Ning and cried loudly, saying that she did this for your his good, vexingly explaining the power division to him. New grudges mixed in with the old as Shu Ning was still under someone else’s roof, and he had had put all the responsibility under Shu Heng’s head, gritting his teeth towards him hatefully. Due to that, he treated himself with cruelty. He threw himself down the stairs and listened as Qin Yuzhuo framed Shu Heng who just so happened to be present.

The past was painful.

But who should be blamed?

Qin Yuzhuo?

Wasn’t it him that was stupid?

On that afternoon, Qin Yuzhuo sent Shu Ning home and instructed the nanny to watch him well, then drove to the company while humming to report the good news to Shu Cheng.

Nanny’s cooking is delicious. Colour, flavour, and taste are all excellent, the fate of the two people were about to come to an end. This nanny had always been taking care of Qin Yuzhuo all along for quite a few years, she’s a good person, and did not speak unnecessarily, Shu Ning had gone out for a stroll several times while Qin Yuzhuo had been away, and the nanny did not tell on him, it’s a shame that she could not be brought into the Shu residence.

“Young Master, why don’t you drink some more fish soup?” He’s eating too less, not like a thirteen-year-old child.

“Okay!”

Fish soup is very nutritious, Shu Ning naturally knew how thoughtful the nanny is. After brushing his teeth, Shu Ning picked up his wallet and walked out, the nanny followed him to the door, “The miss is busy, and normally comes home after she’s finished dinner, you should come home earlier young master, at night I will make your favourite red braised pork belly, and bunny-shaped mantou as well.

“…” Shu Ning blinked. “Okay!”

The nanny smiled happily, she watched Shu Ning leave until he couldn’t be seen anymore, only then did she hum an off-tune song as she left holding a shopping basket.

In order to let Shu Ning adapt quickly to the wealthy life, he had to spend ten thousand bucks last month, and twenty thousand this month, this is the assignment given to him by Qin Yuzhuo, no matter what he bought after he returned he had to explain his reason of buying the item, why did you buy this, what can it be used for? Can the quality be improved or can it be kept as a collection and so on, only in this way taste be cultivated, as well as opening his eyes to the world, turning him into a qualified wealthy young master.

Qin Yuzhuo would only be satisfied if everything was in order. If she wasn’t satisfied…Both dinner and breakfast are gone, and he would be punished to stand as well.

Shu Ning didn’t come out today to find his “taste”, but rather to play the stocks if he wanted to live freely, he had to wait until adulthood. If not, nobody could take custody of him from Shu Cheng. Shu Ning knows his own fighting strength, but he had never thought of leaving this family, bearing the second young master name has many benefits, his last life was too full of vexation, this life he had to become a happy silk pants sponger!

As long as I’m hugging Shu Heng’s thick thighs, who dares to touch me, haha. As soon as he thought of the twenty thousand bucks at hand plus the stocks there was nearly fifty thousand, Shu Ning couldn’t laugh again, he’d rather ride a car back to his old home to continue looking after the house, he copied down a lot of landline numbers, and contacted them back to back, buying whatever he can, when Shu Ning buys an apartment he can turnover his deposits.

The old houses in this area were too broken and old many of them were empty, some of them collapsed because nobody were living there, they were located at the edge of the city, the residents did not have any notions of relocating to an apartment, currently apartments costed only about ten thousand or so, and you could often purchase a broken house with just a thousand or so. Shu Ning specially selected a place with a big courtyard, it had only been three days, and the money in his hands were gone again. No matter, in three days he could visit the ancestral home anyways, when that time comes Shu Cheng would give him a red envelope worth fifty thousand!

On Thursday morning, Shu Ning wore a little snow-white suit, his hair was well-groomed and slick, he secretly grinned, what should come will still come.

“Baby, we should get going.”

The nanny stood teary-eyed next to the stairs, quite reluctant to part with this job.

Shu Ning knows Qin Yuzhuo’s character, when the need arises red envelopes will come out continuously, when there’s no longer a use she’ll immediately put on a cold face, sweep the floor, and leave. Shu Ning smiled to his nanny, “There’s still some rubbish in my room, remember to throw it when you leave.”

“Yes, young master.”

Qin Yuzhuo looked at her watch again and again, her attitude started to become slightly unpleasant, “Let’s go.”

Shu Ning got into the car, and narrowed his eyes, Shu Heng ge…We’re about to meet again~O(∩_∩)O

Notes:

Mantou – a ball of steamed dough, they’re really soft and puffy, with a hint of sweetness.

Punished to stand – 罚站 Fa zhan, a common punishment where kids are forced to stand for long hours if they did something bad, other varieties include pulling your ears and squatting several times(I’ve seen up to 100), and frog jumps etc.

Shu Heng ge – 哥Ge means brother, usually 哥哥 but that’s more commonly used by girls or children.

also I don’t know how many of you grew up with chinese pop but if I had to suffer this you have to too

  1. She is just awful! Compared to SN the baby in her womb is valued so much, why? Aren’t both of them her husbands? Is it because SN was not raised by her that she only sees him as a tool? Regardless, this woman is despicable/disgusting.

      1. I’m also thinking is the child in her womb, her husband’s? Because I think in the previous chapter it said she slept with a lot of businessmen? She has a lot of experience….

    1. Training & control matter to her. She would throw anyone away for money & power. The MC is considered as inferior because of his looks, upbringing, etc. So only a low level tool to be used & discarded. Kid 2 would be trained by her from the moment he is born, aka a long term plan. Consider him the bank.

      1. @helliotn and @etheralrainbowcanvas Thanks for answering my question! As I read this story I just can’t believe how little regard she has for her own son but yeah that makes sense she wants to control everything and everyone …like how she wrote the script for SN to follow. And 15 years of waiting to trap SN’s father, just wow!!!

    1. I’m sorry for hijacking your comment but do you mean the translation by Bonbon by any chance?

      Personally, I like her translation. I’m grateful for the 3rd volume and I’m also excited about the upcoming one. Maybe because I really like the story and the characters so I’m rather biased haha (^3^)

      But likewise, I too cannot wait for the fourth volume! cheers

      1. Bonbon’s translation is really good. What I meant was the story itself became boring. Sorry if my words sounded wrong 🙋🏻 I loved reading their relationship but… the third volume was all of Ling Xia being sick and making love with Zhijue so I was disappointed 😦

  6. mmm I’m uncomfortable seeing Shu Ning resentful like this but then again, I totally understand his position. If I were to walk in his shoes, I would very likely be the same. XD And this mother of his is shameless! I smiled at the leads first encounter. That was rather cute.

    Thanks for this chapter Helli! I’m quite excited about the next chapter.

    I didn’t grow up within Chinese Pop culture environment but with TVB theme songs which were in Cantonese. Yeah, I was a LEGO blocks lovers, a cartoon and a drama addict. I switched to ebook the last couple of years … Cheers

  7. I have questions.

    1) the summary says the gong and shou are not related, but don’t they share a father?

    2) the story is that Shu Ning is not blood related to his mother but adopted? This is so they don’t upset his son with a bastard proving infidelity while his mom was dying of cancer? Truth will come out eventually…

    3) why does he hold hate for his brother instead of thinking of a way to corrupt him against their mother? That would hurt her the most.

    I don’t mind the Chinese pop vids, it just makes curious about what is going on, are they official vids or fan vids and so forth.

    1. 1)I can’t remember where it’s mentioned but he is the son of the previous wife and no idea whos the father but it’s not shu cheng
      2)yeah just to make shu heng not angry
      3)because the younger brother was his mother’s pawn in his last life and he hates him too why would he want to suffer dealing with him.
      I linked the video because the song is sang by jolin tsai and the lyrics are……
      They just don’t fit a male singer and it sounds really strange. If i were drinking water i would’ve probably spat it out when i heard him sing that
      It is a fan video yes he is not the original singer and that is not the original mv either, you can google the chinese title舞娘to find the original

      1. 1) Ah. So he was adopted into the Shu family. Does he know that Shu Cheng isn’t his biological dad?

        2) Bad idea, he is still going to find out and I doubt it will be pretty.

        3) Ah, still, he is a fetus. A soon to be malleable easy to convince baby who will want approval of his elder brother. I bet she leaves her baby with the older brother or nanny to raise. Which makes him vulnerable for attention and loving. As you said, he was a pawn of his mother’s, they both were.

        Feh, maybe it is just me believing in redemption not seeing it right for him to hate a baby when he can use him instead and save him from their mother.

        So the top one is a cover song in a fanvid? It was lovely. Well, it sounded lovely, but I can’t understand the lyrics so…

        Like

      2. 1)It was revealed in a phone call of Shu Heng talking to Shu Cheng
        2)There is no reason for him to find out, even more so because his dad already told him it was a coincidence and he respects his father.
        3)And he could also be raised by the mother and the nanny is probably bribed by the mother as well. He is seen as unimportant, and the baby already has the mother’s attention, when the baby can think for himself the mother would’ve probably told him about how unimportant the brother is. And the MC can take care of himself he can use his big brother who has more authority the little shit is nothing compared to big bro, still useless anyway.
        The top song is a fansong for the novel series Grave Robbers’ Chronicles, Daomu Biji

  8. 1) so he is currently aware he was adopted by his stepdad?

    2) I just mean truths like that get found out, eventually.

    The way my mom found out she was adopted by her step-dad was grandpa coming home drunk one night when she was a teen and called her a bastard. Shook her whole world. Although it turns out (grandma took to her grave the truth) her bio dad probably raped her mom (unwed single mom in the late 40s)…but my mom was raised believing grandpa was her bio dad. When the truth came out, she didn’t handle it well, plus she had 3 younger siblings so she always felt she was the black sheep of the family and now she had her proof.

    Shu Ning and his brother are fully blood related. They might even have the same blood type. So eventually, some medical thing or a chemistry experiment (schools in America have kids test their blood type) will out the truth. That is what I meant by him finding out, not that the kid will seek it out, just something will happen to reveal it.

    3) I guess. I just feel bad for the baby. Shu Ning will be exacting his revenge sometime.

    Ah. So It the second song that is strange? Wait, isn’t that the duet song? Are you saying both parts are sung by a man?

    Like

  9. 1) I mean they are literally talking to eachother on the phone talking about how he’s not his dad so I guess.
    2) That is a completely different situation, they are just pretending that he is not his real child for now just so that the big brother would not get angry and treat his little brother bad, even if the big brother found out not much is going to happen he’s the only one who doesn’t know, his dad can still keep him in check. It’s just that the father cares about Shu Heng and did not want to make him upset at the time especially since he is still young.
    The song is a duet and one part is sang by a woman but the song itself is normally not sang at all by a man, you can google the lyrics if you want to I’m too lazy to explain, what I wrote is mostly only applicable if you grew up with Cpop, otherwise it makes little to no sense.

    1. So he doesn’t like his younger brother because of what. He got a second chance after following his mother but some how the brother who was born into this doesn’t. He should try to make sure that the younger one doesn’t end up like in the first life the best he can. That just made me not like him so I guess. I will try my best to keep on reading. Love the music just can’t read and listen to music at the same time though. More music for my spotify list.

  11. Thank you for the translation xx

    If I had to pick on one thing, it would be the punctuation. The punctuation in the original language cannot really apply to the English version. But I’m aware that is sort of a language barrier. I’m also translating a C-novel and k ow that there is little punctuation in a paragraph. Whilst in English it would be a few phrases, in the raw (Mandarin, Cantonese etc.) they are și ply separated by a comma ‘,’.

    1. Thanks for reading! Frankly, it’s not a language barrier issue, but more of a… do people want more localized or not translations type of issue.
      After this project I did try to translate in a more localized way but still keeping the Chinese nuances, if you’re interested in them anyway, hope my bad English doesn’t fry your brain out too much before that at least, haha.

  12. You need to edit this novel all over again, please.

    Chinese writing is full of run-on sentences, but it’s your duty as the translator to add periods and edit them to fit English syntax, while keeping Chinese nuances. Many translators are capable of doing it, which means your being lazy by not checking over your work and continuously adding commas when they are not needed.

    Please get a QC or editor to go over this wonderful novel again. But thank you for all your hard work.
