Although Shen Chulu has been called stupid by Shen Bailu since childhood, she is not stupid.
When she heard the word "living together", her thin shoulders shrugged slightly and she trembled slightly. The sweetness of the orange juice remaining between her lips and teeth turned into a hint of bitterness.
Huo Ruxi secretly grabbed her cold little hand, held it tightly, and said with a frivolous handsome eyebrow, "Uncle, I admit that I, Huo Ruxi, have not been very disciplined in my private life, but you haven't given me a chance to change my ways and be a new person. ?
Besides, I used to be a romantic, but I am not obscene. Moreover, I have never brought any woman back to my home. Chulu is the first and the last."
"Ruxi, what I mean is..."
"To be honest, I can't live without Chu Lu now."
Huo Ruxi's chest was filled with strong love, and she placed a passionate kiss on the back of Shen Chulu's hand. Her eyes were full of indulgent love, "If I don't see her for a day, I'm afraid I'll go crazy."
The man's low, hoarse and gentle voice flowed through Shen Chulu's cochlea, and the tip of his heart felt as if it was being teased by a soft feather, feeling crisp and itchy.
So does she.
She also didn't want to leave her brother Ruxi. Without seeing him, she wouldn't think about food and drinks; without holding him, she couldn't sleep.
Shen Guangjing's cheeks were hot. He had never seen anyone before, and he had never seen such a coquettish person!
It’s so shameless in front of the elders!
"There is another reason why I don't want Chulu to go back to Guanchao Manor." Huo Ruxi's expression suddenly became serious.
Shen Guangjing was surprised, "What's the reason?"
"I'm afraid I'll be bullied when I debut."
"What is this nonsense?"
Shen Guangjing frowned, adding to the confusion, "Chu Lu is the apple of my eye, Guanchao Manor is her home, who can bully her in my own family?"
"Uncle, it's understandable that you don't often stay at home, and you don't know much about the situation in your own home. But you can't take it for granted that you're really happy just because you're living in this home for the first time."
Huo Ruxi did not make it clear that Shen Bailu bullied his own woman. After all, Shen Bailu was also Shen Guangjing's daughter. If he reported it without hesitation, he would be slapping his future father-in-law in the face and making him unable to step down.
What's more, it's enough to have him protect me for the first time.
Even if Shen Guangjing knows everything, what's the use? He can't even figure out how to deal with the vixen and scorpion in his own family. How do you expect him to really do anything to Shen Bailu?
Secretary Zhu stood beside him, his lips tightly closed, and he glanced at Shen Guangjing out of the corner of his eye intriguingly.
Everyone in Guanchao Manor knew that the Fourth Miss had been suppressed and bullied by Shen Bailu for many years.
Even Qin Shu, who gave birth to them and raised them, knew that only Shen Guangjing, the biological father, had no idea!
"Chu Lu, who in this family... dares to bully you?!" Shen Guangjing stared at the timid little daughter and asked with suppressed anger.
Shen Chulu's beautiful forehead was sweating, her lips were half-opened, but she couldn't say a word.
Huo Ruxi felt that her hands had become moist in the palm of her hand, and she hurriedly coaxed her with a low rubbing voice, "Chu Lu, don't be afraid. Brother Ruxi and your father are here. If you have any grievances or pains, feel free to do so." Say, we will support you."
From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Shen Chulu could personally tell all the bad things Shen Bailu did to bully her, and that she should also speak out and seek justice for herself.
The two grown men stared at her with burning eyes.
After a while, Shen Chulu's lips trembled and she said, "No... no one bullied me."
"First appearance..." Huo Ruxi felt a sense of disappointment in her heart.
But when he touched her thin back with his big hands, he realized that sweat had soaked her clothes.
Huo Ruxi's eyes narrowed, her heart seemed to have collapsed, and she was so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
He still pushed her too hard. He shouldn't let her always think about the painful past and how to take revenge.
He doesn't have to do anything for the person he loves, it's enough for him to do everything.
"Did...your sister bully you?"
Shen Guangjing's sudden question was like a sharp arrow piercing Shen Culu's trembling heart.
She lowered her head, wrinkled the hem of her skirt with her hands, and remained silent.
"Really? Is Bai Lu always bullying you? Tell dad and dad will make the decision for you."
"Uncle, you also know the situation of her first appearance. She is no better than the third lady, she can act coquettishly and say nice words to please you. Sometimes, because the other party is a family member, she is too kind and does not want to break up with her relatives. .
Therefore, she could only live cautiously by herself, silently enduring all the humiliation."
Huo Ruxi couldn't stand it anymore, she opened her lips with a cold look in her eyes, "It's been so many years, it's pointless to pursue those things. What's more, for you, the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, aren't they?"
These words did not say anything wrong about Shen Bailu, but they just called Shen Bailu by her name!
Shen Guangjing's face was extremely dark, and he clenched his big palms on his knees.
Huo Ruxi slowly helped Shen Chulu stand up, and his strong arms naturally slid down to her waist, holding her in his arms without giving in, with a hint of dominance.
"What happened in the past is in the past. For your sake, I don't want to pursue it anymore.
But it will be different in the future. Since I am with Chulu, I will make the decision for Chulu in everything she does. If anyone dares to touch her again, I don't care who her father is, she will definitely pay a bloody price. "
After Huo Ruxi led Shen Chulu away, the atmosphere in the study was extremely depressing. Shen Guangjing could still feel the coldness in the air, and a strong sense of suffocation.
"So... Huo Ruxi also knows that Bai Lu has been bullying Chu Lu?"
Shen Guangjing looked at Secretary Zhu blankly, his heart tightening, and he couldn't accept it for a moment, "I just overheard that the servant at home also mentioned this matter, and even the servant knew everything about it... I didn't Do you know? As a father, I don’t know?"
Secretary Zhu sighed and said, "Dr. Shen, please don't blame yourself too much. You have such a big family to manage, and you have to manage such a big group. It is inevitable that you will be careless if you don't have a strong head and six arms, and it is understandable."
This statement is obvious and acquiesces.
Shen Guangjing rested his elbows on the table and held his head in pain with both hands, "As a father, I am really ashamed of my first appearance... I didn't know she was so unhappy at home..."
"But everything has passed, Mr. Shen. Now the Fourth Miss has Huo Shaotuan. He has protected the Fourth Miss very well, so you can rest assured."
Secretary Zhu said sincerely, "Miss Fourth is now older, not a child anymore. You can't always confine her at home and prevent her from socializing or contacting society. This will not be helpful to her condition."
And don’t you feel it? After the Fourth Miss and Mr. Huo got together, she laughed more and became more lively and cheerful than before."
Shen Guangjing nodded slightly.
Even he didn't know how long it had been since he saw his little daughter smiling so brightly. Poor Huo Ruxi was really kind to her, and she felt happiness from the bottom of her heart.
"Bai Lu...she was really spoiled by me! That's her biological sister, how could she do this!"
Shen Guangjing thinks of how innocent and cute Shen Bailu was when she was a child, and now she feels really sad!
"Dr. Shen, you should understand that if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black." Secretary Zhu Zhu finished the point.
Shen Guangjing's eyes were dark and his jawline was tightened.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Bailu's delicate voice came: "Dad, are you there?"
"Enter."
The door opened, and Shen Bailu walked in with a smile on her face, carrying a tray.
"Dad, I was wrong about what happened today. I caused you trouble. I specially prepared your favorite fruits and snacks to apologize to you.
Please stop being angry with me, okay?"
Shen Bailu put the fruit on the table and came over, wanting to put her arms around Shen Guangjing's neck and act coquettishly like before. Often after her low-level filial piety, Shen Guangjing's huge anger disappeared.
However, this time, Shen Guangjing actually raised his hand to stop her, "I hope this is the last time you do something inconsistent with your identity.
You are the third young lady of the Shen family. You are not a rich man who bosses around and treats others inappropriately. You must be classy and stylish in your words and deeds. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and a scolding shrew in the vegetable market? "
Shen Bailu's arms froze in mid-air in embarrassment, and she smiled dryly, "Yes, Dad, I won't do it again next time."
Shen Guangjing didn't say anything, but he didn't touch the things she sent.
"Dad, we are going to attend the horse racing meeting in a few days. Didn't you say that my riding outfit looks good last time? I have also made a custom-made set for you. The designer has just sent it over in person. You can go downstairs and try it out. ,is it okay?"
Shen Bailu could see that Shen Guang's prosperity had not subsided, so she tried her best to please him.
"Bai Lu, you don't want to go to this horse racing meet." Shen Guangjing said suddenly and coolly.
"What?!"
Shen Bailu immediately jumped up and stopped, "Why didn't you take me with you?! You take me with you to the horse racing meeting every year!"
"This year is an exception."
"Why?!"
Shen Bailu's eyes widened, and her facial features gradually began to distort with anxiety, "When the time comes, all the rich and famous ladies from the major wealthy families in Shengjing will be there. How can you not take me with you?!"
"I will take Chulu to this year's horse racing meet." Shen Guangjing lowered his eyelids and stopped even looking at her.
"How could you?!" Shen Bailu's mind buzzed.
"Why not? Chulu is also my daughter and the daughter of the Shen family."
Shen Guangjing looked up at her at this moment, but his eyes were colder than ever before, "And you have been going there for many years, so you must be tired of socializing. It just so happened that Chulu hadn't been there yet, and there were a lot of people in Shengjing. Don't even know her.
In the future, I will give more opportunities to show my face like this to Chu Lu, so that it is only fair."
Fair... fair?!
This man has neglected Shen Chulu for more than ten years, and now he is suddenly biased and wants to be fair to her?!
"What? Judging from your expression, you are very dissatisfied?"
Shen Guangjing raised his eyebrows slightly, "As a sister, you should take care of her and share good things with her, right?"
"No, not dad...it's just that she has autism for the first time. If you take her to that occasion, what if she gets sick? How will she cope with it?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Mr. Huo will take good care of her."
Shen Bailu was so angry that her face turned red and white, and she stopped farting completely.
"Go out, I'm going to be busy."
Shen Bailu's expression was as pale as ice. The moment she turned around, her eyes were bloodshot with hatred and she gritted her teeth.
