Chapter 165: Chapter 6 Shen Chi’s Plan_2
"But Liu Yuzhi miscalculated," Shen Chi said with a hint of smugness on his face, like a child who had just pulled off a prank. "She thought I would die quietly and quickly, yet here I am, still alive."
"By now, I need to settle accounts with Liu Yuzhi," Shen Chi went on. What he didn’t say was that even though he had already known he wasn’t an illegitimate child, he hadn’t planned on coming to the Capital. That was likely due to resentment and pride—even if General Han Kuang didn’t intentionally abandon him, the suffering he endured over the years was because of the other man, and he preferred to triumph on his own and then confront his estranged father with mockery.
But Wanwan... he couldn’t bring himself to tell Wanwan not to attend Capital University, nor did he want her to go to the Capital alone. Compared to his grudge against a father who was almost a stranger and that slight sting to his pride, his wife was naturally more important.
At this moment, however, Lin Xiaoguai was stunned. By now, she could confirm with one hundred percent certainty that Shen Chi, in his past life, had always thought he was an illegitimate child right up until she died. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent his whole life avoiding the Capital and she had never heard about him having any interaction with General Han Kuang from there.
Right, in his past life, General Han Kuang seemed to have died before she did. She couldn’t remember when exactly, but she knew it was in either ’85, ’86, or ’87.
"You and your brother... did you meet during that mission where you got shot in the leg?" Looking back, Lin Xiaoguai could only think of this event that was clearly different from his past life.
"How did you guess that?" Shen Chi was somewhat surprised.
"I just said it off the top of my head." Lin Xiaoguai looked down, her feelings mixed. She felt a sneaky joy knowing Shen Chi had been taken for a ride by a woman in his past life, but also felt indignation and... sympathy?
She thought she might be a bit confused.
"So what’s your plan now?" Lin Xiaoguai didn’t want to continue the previous topic and asked, "Besides Han Kuang, Liu Yuzhi, and Han Shouyi, there are also Han Shouxin and Han Shouzhen in the Han Family."
She had no regard for a man like Han Kuang who cheated in his marriage, but Han Shouxin and Han Shouzhen hadn’t wronged Shen Chi.
"I acknowledge only the two of them," Shen Chi said coldly. "I have a lot to settle with Liu Yuzhi. This time I’ll sort everything out once and for all, not only to get what’s mine but also to take care of some of our own little troubles," he said, his tone suddenly filled with mirth at the last sentence.
"What little troubles?" Lin Xiaoguai didn’t understand.
"Don’t you want to have a second child?" Shen Chi whispered into Lin Xiaoguai’s ear, "Han Shoulv’s identity was never canceled. You wouldn’t mind using it for our child’s surname, would you?"
Lin Xiaoguai gasped, "You mean!?" Why could those women who went to Hong Kong or the United States to give birth have a second child? It was because the children would have Hong Kong or United States household registration. If they were to register the future child under Han Shoulv’s name... with careful handling, they could be entirely worry-free.
"When the time comes, I’ll quickly get an ID card for Han Shoulv, report the child under Han Shoulv’s registration, write a will using Han Shoulv’s identity to make us the child’s guardians, and finally, get a death certificate for Han Shoulv. Everything will be perfect," Shen Chi had thought the plan through thoroughly. If his brother cooperated, it would undoubtedly work.
He had considered every detail; he wasn’t going to see a child of his go unprovided for, and that will was essential—there was no telling if Liu Yuzhi would interfere. He wasn’t going to shoot himself in the foot.
Lin Xiaoguai’s eyes lit up; what she had thought was a troublesome identity for Han Shoulv now seemed like a godsend opportunity, perfectly timely.
As for the accompanying troubles, she decided to be magnanimous and not dwell on them.
In order to know both friend and foe, Lin Xiaoguai spent the next while gathering information from Shen Chi about the Shen Family. Only after feeling fully informed did she settle down to decorate their new home and prepare for the school term. In addition, she had to write letters to her relatives to ensure their safety and inform them of their new phone number. With Jiang Xiaomei so close by in the Capital, it was natural to renew their old contact, what with all the little details there were to manage.
As for Shen Chi, just like when he first arrived in Shanghai, he was too busy to spare any time. Fortunately, there was still over a month before the start of Capital University, so their home wouldn’t be thrown into chaos just yet.
As Lin Xiaogui was hanging out the military blankets in the yard, she heard a voice at the gate whisper, "Excuse me, is this Shen Chi’s house?"
Although the visitor seemed somewhat sneaky, Lin Xiaoguai had a degree of confidence in the security of the Military District and nodded, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
The atmosphere in the Capital Military District was different than that of the Magic City Guard Zone. People here were somewhat aloof in their relationships, perhaps because of the district’s large scale—neighbors didn’t all work together and mostly acknowledged each other with a nod. Interactions were not warm, similar to some high-end neighborhoods in the future.
Lin Xiaoguai wasn’t bothered by this, as she was a slow warmer in nature and a believer in the adage, "The friendship of a gentleman is like water." She found this demeanor rather relaxing.
Upon receiving an affirmative response from Lin Xiaoguai, the visitor entered excitedly, swiftly closing the gate. Just as Lin Xiaoguai grew wary, the individual pulled off their headscarf, revealing a face that bore the marks of time but still possessed a stunning beauty, and began to bawl like a child.
