Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Like a Kitten’s Paw Scratching at the Tip of the Heart
Although the Shen Family did not make an appearance, Shen Weiyi’s coming-of-age ceremony was still a grand affair, attended by half of the elite circle in City C.
Initially, when Shen Juanzhi, who was not yet twenty, moved out of the Shen Family residence with a child, many people mocked him.
Today, when people mention the Shen Family, the first person they think of is the Third Young Master Shen, a business genius who, by his own efforts, established himself firmly in City C and became a titan in the business world.
Of course, in addition to his business acumen, people also relished the various gossip surrounding him.
Just when everyone was speculating whether he might suddenly reveal another illegitimate child, Shen Juanzhi made a decision that took everyone by surprise.
At the ceremony, Shen Juanzhi publicly announced that Shen Weiyi was the sole heir to Shen Technology and transferred 80% of his shares in Shen Technology to her as a birthday gift.
From then on, Shen Weiyi became the largest shareholder of Shen Technology.
On her eighteenth birthday, she suddenly came into possession of a fortune worth tens of billions.
What about being an illegitimate daughter? What does it matter who her birth mother is? From now on, no one would look down on her again; everyone would only envy her.
It was said that Mr. Shen, upon hearing this news, smashed a set of tea ware on the spot and later called Shen Juanzhi to severely reprimand him.
He rebuked him for nearly half an hour, only to receive a reply from Secretary Jiang over the phone, "I will convey your wise teachings to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen says you are getting old and should take care of your health."
It was rumored that this infuriated Mr. Shen so much that he was admitted to the hospital that same night.
After the ceremony ended, Shen Weiyi returned home. Exhausted from the day, she took a bath and went straight to bed.
Her phone rang in her groggy state, and she glanced at the time—it wasn’t even seven yet.
"Happy Birthday!" Sheng Ting’s voice came through the phone.
"Thank you!" Shen Weiyi, just waking up, replied softly, her voice lazy and confused, like a kitten’s paw gently scratching at one’s heart.
The person on the other end seemed to pause for a moment before continuing, "Is it convenient for you to come out? I’m downstairs."
Shen Weiyi felt suddenly much more awake and changed her clothes before going downstairs.
"Here." Sheng Ting, still looking sharp, handed her a paper bag.
"What is this?"
Shen Weiyi looked at him curiously.
Hadn’t Shen Jingqi already brought the birthday presents during the day? But she had received so many gifts today that they had all been sent to her room by Shen Juanzhi’s staff before she could even open them.
Sheng Ting: "Open it and see."
Shen Weiyi took it, feeling a chill as she held it. Upon opening it, she was surprised to find a box of strawberry flavored ice cream!
"You came all this way just to give me this?" Wasn’t he incredibly busy? How did he find the time for this?
"Try a bite!" Sheng Ting urged with a smile.
Shen Weiyi opened a spoon and took a taste. The rich creamy flavor was sweet and melted instantly in her mouth. She could even taste the fresh strawberry pieces inside.
"This ice cream tastes so unique. What brand is it? It’s better than any I’ve had before," Shen Weiyi said, lifting the box to inspect it. She turned it over several times but found no label anywhere.
Sheng Ting: "I made it myself. I thought you might have already had cake today, so I made you ice cream instead."
"Hmm?"
