Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Want to Cultivate Sheng Tang

Sheng Sidong from upstairs sat silently in front of the old man.

Every year during the New Year, the old man would meet him privately and talk with him.

The topic was the same every year, wanting him to return to the Sheng Family.

However, this wasn’t Sheng Sidong’s home.

Unexpectedly, this time the old man changed his tone, no longer repeating the same old requests.

He mentioned Sheng Tang: "She has changed a lot, very clever, unlike the two of you."

Sheng Sidong felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

He wore glasses, his eyes were concealed, so he didn’t look up.

"You also know, none of my children have turned out well. Tangtang is different, and I very much want to cultivate her," the old man said.

"Tangtang wants to apply to the Film Academy," Sheng Sidong finally spoke. "She wants to be a star and probably won’t accept your cultivation."

The old man laughed: "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

After talking about Sheng Tang, he chatted about other things.

Talking about the fifty thousand, the old man asked how he had managed to save it.

"With your salary, supporting the family, saving this amount must have been very tough, right?" he asked.

"I’m doing alright," Sheng Sidong said.

He didn’t mention Sheng Tang’s affairs.

After a few more words, the conversation wasn’t going well. Sheng Sidong wasn’t interested in having Sheng Tang accept the old man’s cultivation, not wanting to return to the old man’s side, talking any more was useless.

The old man asked them to leave.

"Stay for dinner before you go."

"No, I have something to do this afternoon," Sheng Sidong replied.

The old man didn’t urge him to stay.

The car Sheng Sidong drove was sent back by Secretary Cai. Sheng Sidong didn’t want to stay even for a moment, so he took a taxi home, telling Secretary Cai to park the car in their neighborhood.

The old man sat alone.

He also recalled the days as an educated youth, although it felt like things from a previous lifetime.

That plain woman - Sheng Sidong’s mother, had long become a blurry figure in his heart.

At that time, there was no choice, no love? He also suffered greatly, held onto a grudge, and just walked away. It was only many years later that he felt he had been too heartless.

No matter the reason for their union, they were a couple. He abandoned his wife and son.

No wonder Sheng Sidong resented him.

Sheng Sidong’s gentle and soft personality might have been influenced by his mother.

When the old man found him, he was at the Fang Family. At that time, the Fang Family was in dire straits, the man had passed away, leaving a widow and two daughters.

Sheng Sidong said he was staying temporarily at the Fang Family, but he was actually adopted by Mrs. Fang.

He was the eldest son and planned to drop out of school to support the family.

Mrs. Fang cried, unwilling to see such a smart and academically excellent child drop out, and fought with him.

"You must study, your hands are meant to hold pens!"

That was his only family, and Sheng Sidong couldn’t bear to see her suffer, so he was torn between two choices.

The old man appeared at that time, offering aid. On one side was the adoptive mother’s eager expectations, hoping he could go to university and make something of himself; on the other side was the pressure of livelihood.

After all, he was just a teenager, so he compromised.

He accepted the old man’s help.

His grades were excellent; unfortunately, he fell ill with a high fever on the day of the university entrance exam but still managed to get into Geological University. During university, his grades were always top-notch, and even when Fang Mengying got pregnant before graduation, it didn’t affect his studies.

His teachers all liked him very much.

Others spoke of Sheng Sidong, saying he was honest and down-to-earth yet not rigid; smart and capable but not showing off.

He and the Fang Family’s daughter married with mutual affection, which was a great thing, and the two of them remain loving even today.

However, the Fang Family had another girl.

The old man remembered that girl, her name was Cheng Ruojun.
