"By taking an unfair path and doing illegal transactions, uncle will be careful to get himself burned." Sheng Yanxuan said coldly, with a full warning.
He had long known that this uncle coveted the business left by his father, but he pretended to say these high-sounding words in front of him.
"You...hahaha, my good nephew is getting better and better at making fun of his uncle." Sheng Yuan heard the sarcasm in Sheng Yanxuan's tone, his face instantly turned livid, and he said with a forced smile.
Is it possible that Sheng Yanxuan discovered the shady things about himself?
Sheng Yuan felt guilty and angry. If Sheng Yanxuan really knew about this, wouldn't he be in trouble for the rest of his life?
Cold sweat broke out on the palms of Sheng Yuan's hands, and the hand holding the red wine glass couldn't help but tremble. He tried to stay calm, pretending to be nonchalant, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, nephew? You kid is really over the top."
The older I get, the more I like to joke."
He glanced at Old Mrs. Sheng from the corner of his eye, and saw that Old Mrs. Sheng still had a calm expression, showing no emotion.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sheng didn't hear any flaws. Sheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The secret was almost exposed just now, but fortunately he reacted quickly!
Sheng Yuan just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly a trembling female voice came from beside him. It was his eldest daughter Sheng Yuxuan...
"Dad...brother is right, it's better not to do anything desperate again." Sheng Yuxuan lowered her head and her voice was trembling. Her bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible to detect her expression.
Sheng Yuxuan was really scared. Although she hated her biological father, he was her father after all.
"Nonsense!" Sheng Yuan raised his eyebrows and glared at Sheng Yuxuan, "What do you know?!"
This matter is of great importance. If he is found out, he will be sent to prison. And his daughter actually accuses him in front of so many people. This is not pushing him into the fire pit.
"Dad, I'm doing this for your own good." Sheng Yuxuan raised her head and looked at Sheng Yuan. Although she was scared, she had to stand up and stop this.
"You...you rebellious girl!" Sheng Yuan was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, eyes wide open.
Sheng Yuxuan was so frightened that she shrank her shoulders, lowered her head and did not dare to speak anymore.
Then a slap fell on her face with a loud crack.
Sheng Yuxuan covered her red cheeks, tears welling up in her eyes.
She didn't dare to resist, she curled up and shivered, holding her head in her hands and crying softly.
Chu Qingxue didn't expect that Sheng Yuan would slap her daughter on the face in front of so many people, and she was stunned for a moment.
Sheng Yanxuan frowned when he saw Sheng Yuxuan was injured.
When Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng saw this scene, they were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Chu Qingxue's face turned pale, and she looked at Sheng Yuxuan blankly, with distress in her eyes.
Ruan Yun and Sheng Yuyan on the side were silent, with indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they had not seen it and had long been accustomed to all this.
Old Mrs. Sheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up suddenly and angrily shouted: "Sheng Yuan! You are crazy!"
Sheng Yuan's raised hand froze in mid-air. He lowered his arm and looked at Old Mrs. Sheng with his eyes averted: "Mom, I... I'm not angry..."
"Okay, this dinner is over. I'm tired, so I'm going back to my room to rest." Old Mrs. Sheng's chest heaved violently with anger, and she rolled up her sleeves and left.
Mr. Sheng looked at Sheng Yuan with warning eyes, stood up and helped Mrs. Sheng away.
The two elders left the table, and the banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds and then stood up and left.
Dong Ning originally wanted to stay and chat with Sheng Yanxuan, but when he met his eyes, he was so frightened that he immediately shut up and left in a hurry.
Sheng Yuxuan looked pale as she watched everyone leave. She sat on the chair, her head was buzzing, and she felt like the whole world was spinning.
Did she do something wrong?
When she accidentally broke into her father's shady dealings, her whole body went cold. She couldn't believe that her father was actually doing these illegal things.
The education and outlook she received since childhood told Sheng Yuxuan that she must prevent her father from heading into the abyss step by step.
However, it was useless to try to dissuade Sheng Yuan himself, and he was even accused of being nosy.
Sheng Yuxuan covered her face and burst into tears. She had admired her father since she was a child and believed that he was an upright man.
She never imagined that Sheng Yuan would do such illegal things to make money.
Chu Qingxue glanced at Sheng Yuxuan, pursed her lips, stood up and walked towards her, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Do you need paper?"
With that said, she took out a tissue and handed it to Sheng Yuxuan.
Sheng Yuxuan raised her head and looked at Chu Qingxue blankly.
Chu Qingxue smiled calmly and her eyes were pure and penetrating.
She smiled, like the warm sun in winter, making people involuntarily let go of their guard and relax their mood unconsciously.
Sheng Yuxuan looked at her and sniffed, took the paper and looked at Chu Qingxue with tears rolling down her cheeks. Chu Qingxue felt very distressed.
"You did nothing wrong. Sheng Yuan went too far." Chu Qingxue patted Sheng Yuxuan on the back and sighed.
When Sheng Yuxuan heard this, she threw herself into Chu Qingxue's arms and cried loudly.
This girl has always been strong and optimistic, but she never expected that she would be forced into such an embarrassing situation today.
Sheng Yuxuan hugged Chu Qingxue tightly and cried loudly, as fragile as a little girl.
Chu Qingxue touched her hair and patted her back gently.
After Sheng Yuxuan's crying gradually stopped, Chu Qingxue stretched out her hand to wipe Sheng Yuxuan's tears and said softly: "It's okay. If you need anything, just come to me, sister-in-law, okay?"
This sentence touched the soft part of Sheng Yuxuan's heart. She and Chu Qingxue had no communication on weekdays, and she did not expect that she would be the one caring about her now.
What's more, his father has always targeted Sheng Yanxuan and Chu Qingxue, and now he comes to comfort him.
She is such a good person. Sheng Yuxuan feels very guilty for what her father has done.
"Wow, sister, you are so kind." Sheng Yuxuan buried herself in Chu Qingxue's arms and cried loudly.
This move made Chu Qingxue stunned. The usually serious and mature little sister was acting so coquettishly, she really couldn't resist it.
"Okay, okay, don't cry." Chu Qingxue smiled awkwardly and rubbed her forehead unconsciously.
Sheng Yanxuan looked at Chu Qingxue and Sheng Yuxuan, his eyes dimming slightly.
The unknown jealousy boiled in his heart, making his face become more gloomy. He snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore them.
It was obvious that the person Chu Qingxue was holding was a girl, or his cousin, but he just felt unhappy, inexplicably unhappy.
He didn't like Chu Qingxue hugging others. She could only hug him and have physical contact with him.
Such thoughts made his heart beat faintly, and he cursed secretly that he was really crazy.
