After the birthday banquet, Shen Nanhuai was worried about his granddaughter and asked his personal doctor to come over and give Shen Chulu a look. Only then did the old man feel reassured that she was fine.
In the corridor, two handsome men stood leaning against the window sill.
Shen was startled and realized that Guan Huo Ruxi had ordered a cigarette, lit it, and sucked deeply. The orange light went out and the smoke filled the air.
"Xiao Xiao... her real name is Tang Qiao'er, she is the legendary and unknown legitimate daughter of Tang Wanting?!" Huo Ruxi still feels like a dream, this is too magical!
"Yeah." Shen was surprised to find that his fingers flicking the cigarette ashes trembled slightly.
"Damn it... Ah Jue, you won such a big jackpot! How come such big raindrops fell on your head?!"
Huo Ruxi patted his shoulder heavily with her big hand, her phoenix eyes sparkling, "You accidentally became Tang Wanting's ex-son-in-law. You said that if you didn't divorce her, would you have spiraled off now?
You have the help of the Haimen Tang Family. Do you think your father and your uneasy and kind-hearted stepmother will look at your face and look up to you from now on? The entire Shen family will not be able to let you do whatever you want?"
"Without her Tang Qiao'er, the Shen family would be all in my hands."
Shen Jingjue blew out the smoke ring and glanced at him resentfully, "Am I just a soft-boiled man who relies on women to get his position in your eyes?"
"That's not true. You are not destined to be a freewheeler. You are a complete workaholic, destined to work hard."
Shen Jingjue: "..."
"I just feel it's a pity. If you can borrow this east wind, you will have to work harder for ten years!" Huo Ruxi sighed sadly.
Shen Jingjue crushed the cigarette butt, feeling empty and regretful, but what he said to Huo Ruxi was two different things.
"I don't understand why she wanted to marry me back then."
"I don't understand either. You have a bad temper, you don't know how to be romantic, you have someone in your heart, and you are bad at bed. It would be better to marry you than to marry me." Huo Ruxi spoke bluntly like a barrage of words.
"Huo Ruxi, do you think Tang Wanting will fall in love with you? Are you worthy of Tang Qiao'er?" Shen Jingjue's eyes darkened, and he had the urge to pinch her.
"At the very least, I'm not as narrow-minded as you. I question her character when I see her with a man. Based on this, I think I should get more points than you in front of Miss Tang Qiao'er, right?"
Huo Ruxi was a little dumbfounded, "Oh, I think of how you used to make trouble for her every day because she was close to Tang Yue, and you said so many unpleasant things. Now that I think about it, I feel regretful!"
"Who told her to hide her identity from me and not speak clearly?" Shen Jingjue became filled with anger and rage when he thought about it.
"The marriage is divorced, and there is no need to tell you her background. Besides, if you had believed in her at all, you wouldn't have been able to do this. So I say that you two can't live together for a long time. You I have no feelings for Miss Tang, no sense of responsibility, and no trust.
After surviving for three years, I can only say that I admire Miss Tang’s willpower. Do you want me? I won’t be able to survive with you for a day.”
As the so-called bystander knows, Huo Ruxi transformed into an emotional master at this moment, and completely exposed Shen Jingjue's dark inner world.
The man's thin lips were pursed tightly, and the veins on the back of his clenched fists were exposed.
Huo Ruxi squeezed his broad shoulders and smiled confidently, "Brother, I have learned a lesson from you. Previous people made mistakes, and future generations can learn from them. I will never follow your old path in the future.
No matter if she is Bai Xiaoxiao or Tang Qiaoer, I will definitely catch her, so bless me!"
"roll."
If looks could kill, Shen Jingjue would have chopped Huo Ruxi into pieces.
"Go away, go away, we two are so fragrant from afar and smell so close to each other!"
Before leaving, Huo Ruxi suddenly paused and narrowed her eyes intriguingly, "You don't plan what happened tonight, so let's just forget about it, right?"
"Qin Shu, mother and daughter, have a close relationship."
Shen Jingjue's voice was as gloomy as thunder, "But even if I have evidence, this matter will definitely be suppressed by Shen Guangjing, because the family scandal cannot be made public. I can only suppress them in other ways and teach them some lessons."
"It's okay, Miss Tang, just in case..."
"Then it will be their mother and daughter who are taken away by the police tonight!"
Huo Ruxi took a breath of cold air.
At this moment, just thinking about this, Shen Jingjue's whole body felt like a cold weapon stained with hostility. If anything happened to Tang Qiao'er, he would kill them all without leaving a trace!
The sense of crisis came over me all of a sudden.
"Where's your little fiancée? When something happened to Miss Tang, she was the first one to jump out and talk like a storyteller in front of Mr. Tang. Don't you doubt her?"
Shen Jing felt his handsome eyebrows tightening, and an indescribable annoyance and suspicion intertwined in his chest, biting at his heart.
He never thinks that there are any coincidences in this world.
But for Jin Enrou, he instinctively hoped that all this was really just a coincidence.
"Mr. Shen!"
Han Xian ran over panting and handed the phone to Shen Jingjue with both hands, "You asked me to check this. I have sorted out the monitoring of the movement routes of all the ladies tonight, Miss Third and Miss Jin. Please take a look." !”
"Good guy! He's very fast!" Upon hearing this, Huo Ruxi stopped leaving for the time being and came over to take a look.
Shen Jingjue lowered his eyes and took a closer look, breathing heavily.
"In the video, Miss Jin not only had close contact with his wife tonight, but also had private contact with the third lady. What's even weirder is..."
Han Xian's eyes darkened, "I checked the surveillance of Mr. Tang and Miss Tang before and after they entered the room, and Miss Jin never appeared near there at all."
"Oh, this is interesting."
Huo Ruxi raised her lips and smiled, "She has never shown her face there from beginning to end. Then who did she hear about Mr. Tang and Miss Tang being in the same room?"
Shen Jing felt his eyebrows twist sharply, and there was a buzzing sound, as if he had been given a slap in the face.
…
Here, the Shen family members are gathered in the front hall, including Jin Enrou.
Shen Bailu's face turned pale and pale. She said she was feeling unwell, but in fact she was frightened by what happened tonight.
Fortunately, Shen Guangjing supported her unconditionally, and Qin Shu also gave her a thumbs-down, so she got rid of the suspicion.
At this moment, she was glaring at Jin Enrou, who looked innocent, and she really wanted to scratch this hypocritical face to pieces!
"Oh, I really didn't expect that a liar would sneak into our Shen family." Qin Shu hugged Shen Bailu's shoulders and sat on the sofa. Thinking of Tang Qiao'er who stole the show tonight, she felt angry in her heart.
"That's right...she actually concealed her true identity and has been married to Jingjue brother for three years. It's scary to think about it...is she cheating on her marriage?" Jin Enrou asked pretending to be worried.
"Haha, the coordination of singing and harmonizing is quite good. Why don't you go on stage and sing a play to congratulate me on my birthday?" Shen Nanhuai glanced at them with sharp eyes and sneered.
Qin Shu and Jin Enrou's expressions instantly froze.
At this time, Shen Jingjue just walked over with a sullen face and heard Shen Nanhuai's words clearly.
"You aunt and nephew keep saying that Miss Tang is a liar, so I would like to ask, what did she lie to you about? Was it money or shares and property?
Miss Tang fulfilled her duties as a wife to Jingjue. She was filial to her elders, polite to Bai Lu, and took good care of Chulu. Even when Jingjue divorced her, she left the house without a penny. I didn’t take any from the Shen family. Let me ask you, what did she lie to?"
Shen Nanhuai is old, but he is not confused at all. Instead, he is clear and sharp, "You, on the other hand, have tortured Miss Tang in the past three years. Although my old man does not live with you, I know what is happening here like a mirror!" "
"Dad, we know what kind of person Miss Tang is. Ah Shu said this out of worry..." Shen Guangjing gritted his teeth and came out to smooth things over.
"I think you figured it out the moment you found out she was the daughter of Tang's family."
Shen Nanhuai leaned back and looked at Shen Guangjing's stinky face scornfully, "But it's too late to regret it. If you don't want the eldest daughter of a billionaire family, you have to choose a daughter from a low-income family who is on the verge of bankruptcy and is involved in lawsuits as your daughter-in-law." .
Shen Guangjing, you said that if you marry the Tang family, your worth will be doubled than it is now. If you want to enter Haimen and expand your business territory, will you still have so much trouble? This account is too big a loss. Bar?"
Shen Guangjing gritted his teeth secretly, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Even Qin Shu could see her husband's regret for this marriage, and she felt extremely angry.
But Tang Qiao'er's status is too noble. She is Tang Wanting's only daughter from his first wife. The Jin family is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Tang family, and there is no comparison with Tang Qiao'er. He will also be upset if she loses.
Shen Jingjue's cold white lips parted slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Jin Enrou blushed angrily and said, "Grandpa... I know you have always looked down on me and our Jin family, but how can you use emotional matters?" What about monetary measurement?
So what if the Tang family is rich? Brother Jingjue and I really love each other. We are childhood sweethearts. I accompanied brother Jingjue through the gloomy days of his childhood... Our relationship cannot be replaced by Tang Qiaoer. Yes!"
With that said, Jin Enrou hurriedly ran to Shen Jingjue and tugged at the corner of his clothes anxiously, "Brother Jingjue, please say something!"
Shen Jingjue lowered his eyes helplessly, staring at her with an indifferent look that she had never seen before.
At this moment, he tried hard to recall every moment of his childhood with this woman.
But he found that his mind went blank. Those beautiful memories he treasured in his heart gradually became distant and disappeared, and finally turned into a gray nothingness.
Finally, the light in his eyes extinguished, and his low voice was filled with hoarse exhaustion and disappointment.
