Chapter 26 There are some things that should be stopped.
Shen Shilan's tone was so cold that Shen Tingci subconsciously stopped his movements and looked up at the person in the mirror, which was filled with water vapor and blurred.
She had just taken off her makeup, pulled out the washcloth on one side, and wiped off the water droplets on her face. A hibiscus face without makeup was revealed in the mirror.
She crumpled the washcloth into a ball and threw it in the trash can beside her, then opened the door and went out.
Shen Shilan was standing at the door. He had taken off his coat, and the shirt underneath was a little wrinkled. The collar, which had been buttoned up meticulously, had also been pulled off, leaving it messy and open.
Shen Shilan is the most etiquette person in the entire Shen family. He will never let himself appear disheveled in front of anyone, not even his family members.
Shen Tingci carefully glanced at Shen Shilan who had a cold face and said nothing. She really didn't know why Shen Shilan was so angry.
And she didn't seem to have done anything to make Shen Shilan or the Shen family angry.
"Brother." Shen Tingci meowed like a kitten, and the timid eyes made Shen Shilan's anger drop instantly.
He took a deep breath and said to Shen Tingci: "Come with me."
The tone cannot be said to be unkind.
Shen Tingci followed Shen Shilan to the study with concern.
Shen Shilan's study room is very simple, with a minimalist decoration style. Apart from books, there are documents and computers.
After Shen Tingci walked in, she picked a place and stood in a tidy manner.
Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Shen Shilan became even more angry.
Although he likes his well-behaved sister, he is more concerned about whether his sister is bullied outside.
If he could not be bullied, he would rather Shen Tingci not be so sensible, because no matter what she did, he could cover it for her.
"Shen Tingci." Shen Shilan called her name seriously. The moment the voice came out, Shen Tingci immediately stood upright without even glancing at her.
"elder brother."
"Why didn't you tell me when you were bullied? Do you regard me as your brother and the Shen family as your home?" Shen Shilan asked sternly.
Hearing Shen Shilan's voice, Shen Tingci was stunned for a moment subconsciously. Then she raised her head cautiously and looked at the man sitting behind the desk with an annoyed look on his face.
His hand on the desk was clenched into a fist, and veins seemed to pop out on the back of his hand.
"Brother, I have not been bullied." Shen Tingci said.
Seeing Shen Tingci's calm look, Shen Shilan became even more angry: "When I agreed to let you become a star, I didn't do it so that you could deceive me by acting after you finish your studies!"
"Brother." Shen Tingci actually didn't know where he knew about being bullied, but she felt that Shen Shilan probably didn't understand her very well. She was not the kind of person who would silently endure bullying. "I really haven't been bullied. In fact, most people in the industry are like this. It's just some not-so-standard methods. How can I call it bullying!"
Who would have known that after hearing this, Shen Shilan not only did not relax, but became even more irritated and indifferent: "So, you are also being bullied at work?"
Work?
Also?
Shen Tingci grasped these two sets of words keenly, and then carefully raised his eyes to look at Shen Shilan. He did not look at himself anymore, but stared at the phone, frowning, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Shen Tingci, how do the Jiang family treat you?" Seeing that Shen Tingci remained silent, Shen Shilan couldn't help but take the lead and get to the point.
"What does brother know?"
When Shen Shilan saw Shen Tingci's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Almost as soon as Shen Tingci's words fell to the ground, he slapped the case and stood up.
"Shen Tingci, who allowed you to smile so playfully! Back then, I didn't allow you to move out or go back to the Jiang family! It's not that I look down on people, but that the Jiang family is really unbearable, and they act like petty little people who care about everything! At that time, we Knowing that you were wrong, do you know what the Jiang family is planning to do? You just want to go back and become a star! All the money you earned over the years has been subsidized to the Jiang family! They are in Shanghai. Did you know that the city bought a large flat? Do you know that the names of Jiang Mu and Jiang Chen are written in the house book!"
"The one from the Jiang family buys luxury goods every day, while the other one goes gambling, treats people to dinner and spends money lavishly. He also wants to sell you. Jiang Mu used your and Yun Xi's names to join the company. His performance is at the bottom of the company. He doesn’t know anything but just shows off his authority. You must have given him the money to study abroad back then! And Jiang Chen, he asked you to ask for a house! Don’t you know the housing prices in Imperial Capital! Are you really planning to buy it for him?"
"The Jiang family has no hands and feet, are they just begging for food?"
"When Jiang's father was sick, it stands to reason that Jiang Mu should have dropped out of school and worked to earn money to treat him, instead of your half-recognized daughter who was not yet an adult and went to earn money! Shen Tingci, you are the daughter of my Shen family. The daughter raised by Jiaowan is the apple of our eye, and we are not willing to spend a penny from you, so why should the Jiang family ask you for money!"
Shen Shilan was really angry. If this was Shanghai, he might have to call someone directly to the Jiang family to settle the score.
"And Jiang Chen's attitude towards you is bossy and disrespectful. How dare Shen Shichuan do this to you?"
"He said that he was going to work in the Imperial Capital and wanted a house." The smile on Shen Tingci's face faded slightly, "Brother, I know this matter well."
"What number do you have! Are you counting the money for someone who was sold to you?"
Qi Guiqi, but it is really difficult for Shen Shilan to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Shilan asked with a calm face.
What he feels now to Shen Tingci is that if she can't come up with a good plan, this matter probably won't be solved.
"I already have a plan, and Jiang Chen is my younger brother, so I can't really ignore it! If he doesn't ask me for it, why should he ask for it from his sister?"
Who knows that Shen Shilan didn't even think about it: "Yunxi is the sister who grew up with him, what's wrong with going to Yunxi!"
"Achuan is the first to come to you if something happens!"
"Haven't you bought them many luxury homes and cars over the years?" Shen Shilan said coldly, "If you are greedy, you will swallow the elephant."
Shen Tingci did not answer the call.
"Tell me, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"Just write my name. Besides, I just want to buy a flat floor."
"Shen Tingci! Do you know that if you continue to indulge like this, sooner or later you will be dragged to hell by them?" After hearing what she said, Shen Shilan was simply furious.
How could she not know such a simple and easy-to-understand truth?
People are greedy, so how can they stop at the slightest taste?
"Brother, you should believe me." Shen Tingci raised her eyes and looked directly at him, "How could a girl educated by the Shen family..."
How could it be silly and sweet?
But Shen Tingci didn't say the last sentence. She walked around the desk, took Shen Shilan's hand and said coquettishly, "Brother, I'm tired and want to take a rest."
Even if Shen Shilan is not a celebrity, she still knows that Shen Tingci has a busy schedule now, especially because she looks like she has just finished work.
"When you have time to eat with friends after get off work, why don't you come to see your brother for dinner?" Shen Shilan was angry and distressed, "You have no conscience."
"Aren't I afraid that if I appear next to my brother, I will kill him?"
"Glib tongue." Shen Shilan could tell that Shen Tingci didn't really want to talk to him about the Jiang family. It was rare for him to see his sister, so he followed her thoughts and didn't mention it again.
He stood up and took Shen Tingci out, "Which friends are you having dinner with today?"
"Zhuang Qingqing and Meng Li, but I'm not very familiar with Meng Li. He came with Zhuang Qingqing." Shen Tingci knew that even if she didn't tell, Shen Shilan's methods would be able to find out, so she simply told the truth. .
"Zhuang Qingqing?" Shen Shilan has heard of his name and deeds, but is not very familiar with this person. But when it comes to the latter, his face immediately shows disapproval, "Meng Li is a romantic You don't like him, libertine."
"good."
Shen Shilan still felt unreliable, so he sent messages to Song Yanci and Jiang Yunxi respectively.
[Shen Shilan]: Ci Bao, today I had dinner with Zhuang Qingqing Meng Li. From her tone, she seems familiar with Zhuang Qingqing. You spend a lot of time in the Imperial Capital. Do you know this person?
Neither of them responded to him, but Shen Shilan was not in a hurry. He took Shen Tingci and made a video call with Shen's mother before letting him go back to sleep.
Her cell phone had been drained of battery. As soon as she charged it up, she saw Jiang Mu and Jiang Chen sending countless messages, and even Jiang Mu made several WeChat calls.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing else Shen Tingci doesn't understand.
It was probably these people who called her, and Shen Shilan happened to answer the call.
She scrolled through the messages and found Zhuang Qiqing's WeChat account.
[Shen Tingci]: Doctor Zhuang, are you there?
[Zhuang Qingqing]: I have something to do here.
[Shen Tingci]: I have something I want to ask Dr. Zhuang for help.
Zhuang Qiqing stared at the phone, almost making a hole in it, then he slowly replied to her: "What?"
[Shen Tingci]: I hope Dr. Zhuang can keep my illness a secret. We are not in a doctor-patient relationship, is that okay?
This is not a difficult problem for Zhuang Luqing, and as a doctor, he also has the right to protect the privacy of his patients.
[Zhuang Qingqing]: That’s it?
[Shen Tingci]: Yes, I hope if anyone has questions in the future, Dr. Zhuang can say, I came with a friend, so I got to know you.
[Zhuang Qingqing]: Very vigilant.
[Shen Tingci]: Then thank you Dr. Zhuang.
[Zhuang Qingqing]: Even though I have done you such a big favor, Tingci still calls me Dr. Zhuang. Isn’t that a bit unfamiliar?
[Shen Tingci]: Then I’ll treat Dr. Zhuang to dinner next time. Thank you.
Zhuang Qingqing did not reply, nor did he continue to send messages there.
He really needed to think carefully about what happened today.
After handling these matters, Shen Tingci found Jiang Mu's WeChat account.
This was the most difficult thing, and she naturally left it to deal with it last.
If possible, she really didn't want to break up with the Jiang family.
She even tried her best to make herself look like a fool regarding the Jiang family, but they really thought she was a fool.
Zhuang Qingqing said that she suffered from emotional dependence.
It's because she likes someone too much, and even values her life more than this love. But once she loses this person, she will transfer this love and dependence to another person or thing.
Even giving up oneself just to get that moment of tenderness.
But Shen Tingci knew that she never expected to get a moment of warmth from the Jiang family.
She was just afraid of feeling alone.
I'm just afraid that I won't have a home.
She thought of herself falling from a building in her dream, all alone, and there was no one to help her with her bones.
She didn't want to experience this feeling of despair and helplessness again.
Before Shen Tingci could call back, Jiang's mother couldn't wait to make another call.
This time she picked up quickly.
But what was different from the past was that this time Jiang's mother seemed very polite and polite.
Until she said: "It's me."
Jiang's mother paused slightly: "Are you the only one?"
"Um."
After getting the answer in the affirmative, Jiang Mu probably breathed a sigh of relief, and then her gentle and kind tone changed in an instant, becoming very noisy and bitter: "Shen Tingci, I see you have grown up and your wings have become hard! You have learned how to complain. I'm telling you, it's useless even if you go back to the Shen family to complain! Do you think you are still the little princess of the Shen family? No, it's not just a fake, you are a thief, you stole Xixi's eighteen years old Life!"
"How come you still have the nerve to complain!"
"Even if this matter goes to court, you still have to pay for it!"
"It is your responsibility as a sister to support your parents and raise your younger brother!"
After listening to these words for seven years, Shen Tingci had long been tired of hearing them.
She lay there and replied in a light tone: "Really? Then the Shen family has raised me for so many years, have you paid back the money to the Shen family?"
"What do you mean?"
"The Shen family has raised your daughter for so many years, but you have never spent a penny on me. I want to ask, this is the money the Shen family has spent on me over the years. Have you returned it?"
"Fart! We raised their daughter's money for them..."
"When my sister returned to the Shen family, they gave her money, but you didn't take it. You asked Jiang Mu for a chance to work in the Shen Group." Shen Tingci said lightly, "That's it, right?"
Jiang's mother was speechless and speechless.
She really couldn't understand what happened to Shen Tingci, who had always been extremely obedient to them, why she suddenly seemed to be a different person. Not only did she learn to talk back, but she also spoke eloquently.
"You want me to buy Jiang Chen a house in Imperial Capital, right?"
For some reason, Jiang's mother felt a little guilty, but facing Jiang Chen's extremely longing eyes, Jiang's mother gritted her teeth and nodded: "Yes."
"I can buy it for him, but I have conditions."
"you……"
Before Jiang's mother could finish her curse words, Shen Tingci interrupted her: "Shen Shilan is outside. Are you sure you want to make the two families unhappy?"
"What do you want?"
"Let's meet. As long as you agree to my conditions, I can give this house to Jiang Chen."
"Okay, how long?"
"The day after tomorrow, I will return to Shanghai." Shen Tingci said, "I'll wait for you in my apartment."
After saying that, Shen Tingci hung up the phone.
She turned her head and looked at the moon outside the window. There were some things that really needed to be settled.
