After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 131 Adoption Brake, Shen Jingshan's Birthday Banquet

Upon seeing it, Shen Zixuan shuddered and quickly hid behind Shen Yu, peeking out to look at it with lingering fear. "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I never want to swap souls with you again!"

The husky tilted its head, wondering why the other dog was so afraid of it, then walked to the corner, lay down, and continued sleeping.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open. Shen Jingshan, Shen Jingchen, and Su Wanqing walked in.

When they saw the normal Shen Zixuan, they were all moved to tears.

"Zixuan! You're all better!" Su Wanqing rushed over and hugged him tightly. "My son, you scared your mother to death!"

"Mom! I missed you so much!" Shen Zixuan hugged Su Wanqing and started crying too. "My life as a dog was so miserable! I was chased by a big yellow dog, ate garbage, and almost got neutered! Waaaaah..."

He recounted his ordeal with tears streaming down his face, from being abandoned by friends to getting lost and being chased by dogs, to almost being neutered. His story was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it.

Shen Jingshan looked at him, both amused and annoyed: "Now you know you were wrong? I told you to listen to Shen Yu, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're paying the price, aren't you?"

"I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!" Shen Zixuan nodded hurriedly, then turned around and knelt down in front of Shen Yu with a thud.

"Brother-in-law! I was wrong! I shouldn't have called you a liar! I shouldn't have disobeyed you! You're a living god! Please, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"

He clung to Shen Yu's leg, crying his eyes out, getting Shen Yu's pants all dirty.

Shen Yu smiled helplessly and helped him up: "Alright, get up. It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't be so reckless again."

"I'll never do it again!" Shen Zixuan quickly promised, raising three fingers to swear, "From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say! If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west! If you tell me to beat a dog, I'll never chase a chicken! If I speed again, I'm a dog!"

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Shen Zixuan suddenly remembered something and quickly said:

"By the way, brother-in-law, let's adopt that husky. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have... No, if I hadn't hit it, it wouldn't be suffering like this."

"Okay," Su Wanqing said with a smile. "It's kind of destined to be with our family. Even if you hadn't said anything, your dad and I were planning to take it back anyway."

"Then it's settled!" Shen Zixuan said happily. "I'll name it 'Brake'! In memory of the life-saving brake I stepped on that day! If I hadn't stepped on that brake, I'd be dead by now!"

Everyone was amused by him.

That afternoon, Shen Zixuan was discharged from the hospital. He specially went to the pet store to pick up Brake and brought it home, and bought it a lot of snacks and toys, treating it like a little emperor.

From then on, Shen Zixuan became Shen Yu's number one fanboy.

He always says "My brother-in-law is a living god" wherever he goes, and if anyone dares to say a bad word about Shen Yu, he will be the first to jump out and get angry.

Before we knew it, it was Shen Jingshan's 70th birthday.

The front yard of the Jiang family's old house was decorated with festive cheer. Gold-plated lanterns with the character "longevity" hung on the vermilion pillars, and blooming chrysanthemums lined both sides of the bluestone path. The air was filled with the aroma of osmanthus cakes and wine.

The birthday banquet was a family affair, not a grand affair. Only the Jiang and Shen families were present, with a total of five tables of people. The atmosphere was warm and lively.

At exactly 12 noon, the birthday banquet officially began.

Shen Jingshan was dressed in a dark red handmade Tang suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked energetic.

He held Niannian and Guigui's little hands and walked step by step onto the main stage, took the wine glass handed to him by Shen Jingchen, and raised it to the guests in the room.

"Today is my seventieth birthday." Shen Jingshan's voice was a little hoarse, but filled with undisguised excitement.

"My life, Shen Jingshan, has been smooth sailing. I have a successful business and a son and a daughter. The only thing I regret is that I let my eldest daughter, Shen Jiao, suffer so much and leave us so young."

He looked down at the two children beside him, his eyes slightly reddening.

"But God has been kind to me, allowing me to find my granddaughter Xinlan in my lifetime, and also gain these two wonderful great-grandchildren. Seeing my whole family sitting here together today, I have no regrets in this life."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xinlan's eyes reddened. Shen Yu gently held her hand, feeling a warm strength in his fingertips. She looked up at Shen Yu and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Alright, let's not talk about these sad things anymore." Shen Jingshan wiped his eyes and burst into laughter. "Everyone, eat and drink well today, let's drink until we're drunk!"

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison, "May the old man enjoy boundless happiness and longevity!"

The atmosphere at the birthday banquet instantly became lively.

Shen Zixuan followed Shen Yu like a little tail, never leaving his side.

Whenever someone came to offer Shen Yu a toast, he was the first to step in front, raise his glass, and drink it all in one gulp, patting his chest and saying, "My brother-in-law can't drink, I'll drink for him! My brother-in-law is a living god, drinking will affect his magical powers!"

As he was about to recount the embarrassing incident of swapping souls with a husky, Jiang Xinlan stopped him with a sharp glare.

Everyone burst into laughter at his appearance.

"You child, drink slowly, don't get drunk." Su Wanqing shook her head helplessly, but did not stop her.

Since the incident, Shen Zixuan has become a different person. He no longer causes trouble all the time and admires Shen Yu to the point of worship.

She was happy that he did this; what happened last time had really terrified her.

Now that my son is safe and sound, that's the best thing.

"Don't worry, Mom, I can hold my liquor perfectly!" Shen Zixuan patted his chest to assure her, then turned and whispered to Shen Yu,

"Brother-in-law, how did I do? If anyone dares to cause you trouble again, I'll be the first to rush up and teach them a lesson!"

Shen Yu chuckled and nodded, "Not bad, keep it up."

Receiving Shen Yu's praise, Shen Zixuan became even more smug, his tail practically wagging in the air. He turned and ran into the yard, bringing over "Brake," which was tied to a tree.

"Brake, give Grandpa a handshake!" Shen Zixuan patted "Brake's" head.

"Brake" is a gray-black husky that has become very shiny and healthy since being adopted by Shen Zixuan.

It understood Shen Zixuan's command, raised a paw, placed it on Shen Jingshan's hand, and wagged its tail.

"Great! Great!" Shen Jingshan grinned from ear to ear, took the largest piece of braised pork knuckle from the plate, and handed it to "Brake."

"Good boy/girl, here's a reward for you!"

"Brake!" He grabbed a braised pork knuckle and ran to the side to happily gnaw on it.
