Chapter 1525: I’m Better Than Him

The abbot turned his head and his bright and wise eyes scanned the few of them.

He looked at Xu Qingzhi and said,

“Don’t be too persistent on something. It’s better to focus more on your work. If you work hard, there will be returns. As for the rest, take it lightly. What’s yours is ultimately yours. If it’s not yours, you can’t force it.”

Xu Qingzhi’s expectant face paled when she heard the abbot’s words.

The abbot turned to look at Sang Yu. “Patron, you’re blessed.”

Shen Fanxing was especially interested in this and couldn’t help but ask, “How many daughters and sons do you have?”

Perhaps because he felt guilty towards Shen Fanxing, the abbot glanced at Sang Yu and said,

“She only has one daughter in her life. The rest, there are at least three men.”

Regardless of how accurate her words were, Shen Fanxing felt happy when she heard them. She looked up at Bo Jinchuan and smiled.

“Your Bo family is really blessed. Jinghang is quite capable to have four children, and at the very least…”

Bo Jinchuan smiled and tightened his arms around her waist.

“I will be more powerful than him…”

Sang Yu was speechless.

Xu Qingzhi was speechless.

The abbot was speechless.

Shen Fanxing was speechless.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Shen Fanxing stammered, her face flushed red.

The gazes around her made her unable to raise her head.

Bo Jinchuan smiled faintly and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just a secular person. Naturally, I can’t stand up to the secular world. Only people who have escaped should know what it means to not listen and not see.”

Shen Fanxing was speechless. But there were two other secular people around!

Sang Yu and Xu Qingzhi automatically looked into the distance. The abbot was still smiling. Without changing his expression, he looked at Sang Yu and continued,

“Although I’m a few years older, I’ll be protected by my brothers. I’m one of the lucky ones in the world.”

The abbot changed the topic, saving Shen Fanxing the embarrassment. She looked up at Sang Yu.

Xu Qingzhi was surprised. “Sangyu, your first child is a daughter? It’s a pity that my son already has a wife. Otherwise, we could get engaged.”

Sang Yu averted her gaze and smiled faintly. “That… is a pity.”

“It’s fine. I’ll acknowledge her as my goddaughter.”

Sang Yu nodded. “That’s good too.”

Shen Fanxing saw Sang Yu’s expression and her exquisite eyebrows twitched. In the end, she remained silent.

Then, the abbot looked at Bo Jinchuan and said, “Patron…”

“I don’t need it,” interrupted Bo Jinchuan calmly.

“I’ve never believed in such things, nor can I be absolutely pious. I can predict my own fate.”

His attitude was absolutely arrogant.

The abbot nodded. “Okay.”

Shen Fanxing smiled lightly. This was Bo Jinchuan.

His fate was the same as his decision. No one could control him.

After bidding farewell to the abbot, he asked the young monk in the temple for the address of the guest.

When Shen Shanghua moved in, he said that he would stay for a long time. Back then, Jiang Rongrong was by his side, so the place arranged by the temple was a little remote.

Other than paying respects to Buddha in the morning, afternoon, and evening, the rest of the time, the customers were usually doing their homework.

When Shen Fanxing and the rest reached Shen Shanghua’s courtyard, the sun was shining brightly. Shen Shanghua was sitting in the courtyard, copying scriptures.

He was still wearing his usual clothes, but his aura seemed to have calmed down.

Seeing him again, Shen Fanxing’s heart ached.

Previously, she had spoken harshly to Jiang Rongrong.

It had to be said that Shen Shanghua was indeed like what she had told Jiang Rongrong. He had not done what a grandfather should do to protect a junior.

However, even a drop of water in the dry desert was extremely precious.

Back then, she was a traveler trapped in the desert, and Shen Shanghua’s concern for her was like a drop of water.

The rain after a long drought was enough for her to never forget.

Today, she was here to resolve her doubts.

The reason why she had experienced everything so far.

The abbot gave her the answer with a “cause and effect”.

In that case, Shen Shanghua had to give her another answer.

Shen Shanghua sat there alone with an indifferent expression. Compared to the monk who had guided them all the way, he looked indifferent, as if he had long left the mortal world.

Shen Fanxing couldn’t bear to see her almost completely white hair.

Seeing their arrival, Shen Shanghua calmly stopped copying Buddhist scriptures and stood up.

“You’re here?”

Shen Fanxing walked slowly to him and her gaze swept across the table. There was a Buddhist scripture beside her and there was an unfinished calligraphy on the paper.

“Do you feel better staying here after rejecting the place I arranged for you?”

Shen Shanghua nodded and sat down on the table.

“I feel more at ease living here.”

Shen Fanxing nodded and sat opposite Shen Shanghua.

Her gaze lingered on the Buddhist scripture in front of him for a while before she lowered her eyes and fell silent.

“As a junior… I’m indeed lacking,” said Shen Fanxing. “But I still don’t understand why things have developed to this stage.”

They were blood-related, but they hated each other.

Didn’t they say that blood ties were a magical thing?

But when it came to her, it was completely different.

“Even so, I still can’t forgive you. So don’t choose to forgive me.”

No matter the cause and outcome of the matter, no matter how passive she was in this battle of kinship, she had never done what a junior should do.

Shen Shanghua nodded. “We owe you too much. I’m sorry we didn’t leave you with good memories.”

“Some memories are indeed not worth my time to recall. Hence, the good and bad of the past are all in the past. They’re not worth mentioning.”

Shen Fanxing interrupted Shen Shanghua resolutely. She wasn’t here to listen to his confession and apology.

She didn’t want to hear it or forgive him.

“I think I’ve already done my best for the Shen family! You rejected the house and you didn’t want the support. However, if the day comes, I’ll still do my duty and do what a granddaughter should do. I’ll repay your kindness.”

I still remember the kindness others have shown me, let alone your upbringing.

Shen Shanghua sighed deeply. “Why are you here today?”
