Shen Xingsui could even feel his mother's suffocated tone, which made his nose a little sore. He still gently reached out and patted his mother's back, and said, "Mom, this is none of your business. It's not your fault, I didn't handle it well."
Xu Enzhen shook her head.
Shen Xingchen, who was still sitting on the sofa, bit an apple, then slapped the table, "How can you bla yourself for this? If you want to bla, bla that sh–"
Halfway through the scolding, he saw his father casted a cool look at him. He then rembered that his father and older brother always taught him to not cuss out like this. If he must do it, he should use more civilized words.
"–sinner of a person Jian Zhi."
"…"
There was a mont of silence in the room.
hen Xingsui and Xu Enzhen's originally sad mood was completely disturbed by the young master, and finally they couldn't restrain their lips and smiled.
Shen Minglang ca over and poured a glass of water for Shen Xingsui, and the businessman who always puts interests first also try to comfort him in his way. "You just ca back from your work, right? Go eat a proper dinner. I heard from Auntie Wu that you haven't been eating well these past few days. So I specifically asked her to cook so top-quality ginseng tonics that I bought at a high price from an auction house."
Shen Xingsui was stunned, "No, it doesn't have to be…"
Shen Minglang was quite proud of this, so he insisted, "Don't say that. It didn't cost that much anyways. It will be worth it if you eat it."
"…"
How could he convince his eldest brother that he wasn't talking about the money aspect?
Shen Yong wouldn't allow his son to steal the lilight. He seed steady, but in fact he was comparing himself with Shen Minglang, "Suisui, your elder brother is right. It didn't cost that much, it cost about right. In fact, I also have so treasure…"
Shen Xingsui hastily interrupted him, "Dad, I don't need it, I don't need it!"
Shen Yong was slightly stunned. He looked at his youngest in surprise and… a hint of hurt in his eyes?
Shen Xingsui panicked even more, so he quickly explained:,"I an, I'm actually fine now, and you don't need to use them!"
Xu Enzhen has the highest EQ around the family, so she understood everything. She smiled next to him, "Don't scare Suisui, okay?"
Now Shen Xingchen was curious. "Dad, what do you an you have so treasure? Hey, can I have so? I feel that I have grown up recently."
"How old are you again." Shen Minglang glared at him, "You're still growing? Dream on. You can use them in your dream."
"??Hey–!!" Shen Xingchen roared angrily at his older brother.
Shen Xingsui was amused by them, Xu Enzhen took his hand and said: "Suisui, you don't have to worry about the matters of the Jian family. Although we don't know much about the entertainnt industry, we will never let you be wronged. Your father and mother will help you take care of this matter."
Seeing his parents worrying about him so much, Shen Xingsui only felt warm in his heart. No matter how big the grievance was, I didn't matter now. "It's okay, Mom, I, I'm actually not so fragile."
Xu Enzhen smiled and touched his head, "In my eyes, all my children are always babies still."
Shen Xingsui's heart softened.
Xu Enzhen said, "It's ti to eat, do you want to wash up first?"
Shen Xingsui nodded, "I'll co down later."
Xu Enzhen smiled. "Okay."
When he went upstairs, the people below were no longer smiling. Xu Enzhen's complexion darkened, she walked to the sofa and sat down and said, "Jian Kuo sure is a person who's blind about good and evil, isn't he?"
None of them were stupid, they could guess what kind of life Shen Xingsui led in that house. However, they never outwardly suppress that family because it would be unfair otherwise – if they did, that would impact many innocent parties in the process.
Unexpectedly… this Jian family dog wasn't aware of this? They still try to bully Suisui. How very daring of them.
Shen Yong was sitting on the sofa. The middle-aged man's cold face also has this inscrutable expression at the mont. "Since they are the ones who made the move first, it's justified for us to handle them in retaliation. We just need to contain the fire so as to not burn the outsiders."
Shen Minglang had been robbed of his achievents in the past few tis. Suisui was very close to his mother and Shen Xingchen, but he was still unfamiliar with Shen Minglang. This… was the chance he needed. He would do good to his youngest brother!
The eldest Shen brother took the initiative to say, "Leave this matter to . I'll do it myself."
"Heh. Didn't you complain about the task of buying the piano just two days ago? You said that you're too busy with the company." Shen Yong said slowly, "That's why, let handle it this ti."
Shen Minglang only continued to smile, "That was the matter of two days ago. Don't worry Father, I won't delay anything by taking up this new task."
Shen Yong: "You just ca back from a business trip…"
"That's right, it seems that you are too, Father. So what else? As the eldest son, it's only right for to handle most matters now. I know you're busy with your business trip in the following days, so let. . Handle. Suisui's. Matter." Shen Minglang insisted. Hard.
Shen Yong knew he couldn't win against this ultra-stubborn Shen Minglang, "Fine. It seems that you are quite energetic."
Shen Minglang's smile deepened, "I'm still young, after all. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to tell ."
"…"
Invisible gunpowder smoke filled the living room.
Shen Xingchen went to his mother and whispered: "Mom, what are they talking about? I feel so confused by this riddle."
"Don't worry about the adults' affairs." Xu Enzhen patted his head, and said, "You usually If you play Weibo or sothing, please register one for . I want to pay attention to the news at any ti. By the way, I also heard from a fan that there is a supertopic fan group for Suisui? Can you set this new account to follow it?"
Shen Xingchen said in response, "Okay, since you already downloaded Weibo on your phone then you can search for the supertopic. Let teach you."
Shen Xingchen took the phone and taught Xu Enzhen to search it, then returned the phone to her, and pointed to the screen, "Follow ! This account is fine, and supertopic and so on are also found under the search na."
Xu Enzhen learned things very quickly. After paying attention to his two sons, she began to search for the key na of the supertopic, but for so reason, what appeared below was:
Xu Enzhen: "?"
She clicked it out of curiosity and opened a door to a whole new world.
She joined it.
The next day.
Shen Xingsui received a call from Anran, who said, "I got the key Suisui. co quickly, I will wait for you at the gate of this villa."
Shen Xingsui responded.
He arrived at the place according to the agreent. Shen Xingchen was with him, but he didn't let Shen Xingchen follow him, so his older brother parked the car on another small road. After all, he was going to bring a huge amount of Fu Jinxiao's rchandise – many of them were outright priceless – so they needed a car to bring it all back to ho.
Out of precaution, he also installed a voice recorder and an invisible cara on his body in advance, and even set up automatic contacts on his phone. If there was any unexpected situation, Shen Xingchen can co over to help him.
Anran didn't see Shen Xingchen's car, so he ca to pick him up at the door and said, "Co quickly."
"Shen Xingsui said, "You have already promised to take back to get your own things. You must keep your word."
"Don't worry, I promise ." Anran said helplessly, "You also promised , you are not allowed to tell my Erge about that matter, you must do it too."
Shen Xingsui nodded, "Yes, I will."
This was the first ti in a long while he returned to the Jian family house. It felt… strange. Every part of the courtyard and house here left a deep impression on him. He has lived here for many years, but he swore that this was the last ti would ever co again.
Anran led him into the door, went upstairs and said, "This is the room, right."
Shen Xingsui also felt a little emotional, and replied, "Yes."
Anran opened the door, and the key rang with a "click". The door of the room was opened, and the room that he had lived in for twenty years was once again in front of Shen Xingsui. The display here has not changed much, but his purpose was not for nostalgia. He knew there was a secret room here, for storing all of his precious collections.
Shen Xingsui pushed the door open. The room was dark, he turned on the light, but after seeing everything on the shelf in the room, he froze in place, as if his blood had been emptied in an instant, his face was pale and stiff in place.
Anran walked over with small, anxious steps. "What's the matter?"
The shelves were originally full of various limited edition albums and rchandise, but now most of them are empty. So were scattered on the ground. It seems that soone stepped on it until it broke into pieces. Those video discs that he cherished so much in the past, even carefully sealed them with safety wood, for fear of being stained with dust and bumped… now just a bunch of junk on the ground. So even have footprints.
Shen Xingsui walked stiffly to the disc, his whole body was shaking, trembling with pure anger. He picked the broken disc up, turned around and ca to the side where the photos were printed. Looking at the broken figure, he tried his best to put it back together, but he couldn't get it back together. The broken edge of the disc was a bit thorny, but this was not as painful as his heart.
"Why…" Shen Xingsui murmured, he turned his head to look at Anran, his eyes were red, and his voice was cold, "Who did it?"
Anran was suddenly frightened by Shen Xingsui's hostile eyes. He had never seen such a Shen Xingsui before. He was frozen stiff, but he still said, "It's not , it's really not ! It must be Erge, he cos here often. Sotis I heard so crackling sounds from outside, but I don't know what's causing it! And didn't you say that you don't want them all, you left the house, then these things…"
There was a surge of anger in Shen Xingsui's heart, and he said, "That's not the reason for you to trample on it at will!"
His whole heart was so painful that he was about to bleed. If it wasn't for the support of his thoughts, he would almost pass out when seeing all his precious morabilia treated like garbage. This was the culmination of his feelings, of his hard work.
Anran hastily said, "Calm down, I don't know either!"
"Jian Anran." Shen Xingsui stood up and faced him straight, with the promise of murder in his eyes, "Where do all the things on this empty shelf go? Alright, if these collections are with you, if you hand them over now. I can forget about it, but if you dare to lie to …" There was a mont of silence in the room.
Shen Xingsui looked at him as if he was just an earthworm, "I will never let you go."
Anran's heart almost stopped. Such Shen Xingsui made him very scared. In fact, he also took the albums and CDs here. After all, it's really too limited, too priceless to even sell. If he really needed money, he could sell them off to collectors and fans, and he knew he could fetch a huge price. It was really eye-opening at that ti, so he took so of them.
But he didn't dare to say it, but tried his best to bla Jian Zhi, "It's really not , Suisui! I won't take them, because I have no need for them! Y-you know Erge, right? He has never liked you very much, and he doesn't like Teacher Fu either. After you left, he forbade everyone to enter your room, but he himself often cos, he must have done it!"
Shen Xingsui sneered: "Really?"
"Really!"
Shen Xingsui then stalked to the back of the room. This secret room was sothing he designed by himself, so he knew every nook and cranny. There was a hidden compartnt here, just behind the curtain. Because he used to feel inferior and dared not publish so of his compositions, he would hide them here after he finished them.
"Click."
The hidden compartnt opened, and Shen Xingsui took out the stack of his original music scores and put them in a box. He put so of the remaining albums on the shelf into the suitcase. This hidden door has a small glass window, standing beside the shelf, he saw a car coming back from outside. It seed to be Jian Zhi's nanny car, but the secret door was very soundproof, so Anran at the door could neither hear nor see.
A sneer flashed across the corner of Shen Xingsui's mouth and said, "Anran, I'll give you another chance, you really don't know?"
Anran shook his head, "I really don't know, I swear."
"Anran, you take here while you understand the implication. If your father and Erge find out, what will they think of you?" Shen Xingsui was originally a villain cannon fodder. He had no qualms about going all-in with this persona at this mont.
Anran really didn't expect Shen Xingsui to be so ruthless this ti, as if he was really poked into a sore spot. Of course, he sold so of the limited-edition albums, and so of them were still in his room, out in the open. He must never let Shen Xingsui see this. "I-I know. Suisui, please, you have to believe . I really don't know anything about them."
Shen Xingsui's smile was full of sarcasm, "Really, you swear on it?"
Anran imdiately raised his hand, "I swear I didn't lie!"
"That's good." Shen Xingsui nodded, passed Anran, and walked outside the door. He looked Jian Zhi directly in the eyes. He greeted him with a sarcastic smirk. "We et again. "
Jian Zhi roared angrily, "Why are you here?"
Shen Xingsui looked at him indifferently, "Anran let in as a guest."
"Anran?!" Jian Zhi turned his head in shock. He couldn't believe that his well-behaved and sensible little brother would do that, and he said in disbelief: "Ransan?
Anran panicked. He didn't know why Jian Zhi ca back suddenly, "Ge, why are you back, aren't you on a business trip?"
Jian Zhi sneered, "If I don't go on a business trip, is it your business? Thankfully I didn't go, or else I won't know about this!"
Anran's face turned pale: "Ge, that's not what I ant!" "
"Then what do you an?!" Jian Zhi walked over with a look of resentnt,"I said that no one else is allowed to enter this room, where did you get the key?"
Anran looked at Shen Xingsui, with a grievance on his face, and said with tears in his eyes, "Ge, listen to my explanation, it was Shen Xingsui, it was Shen Xingsui who forced , he threatened , and I had to do or else…"
Then Jian Zhi looked at Shen Xingsui again.
However, Shen Xingsui seed to have expected such an event a long ti ago, he hooked his lips and smiled, "Anran, that's really good, it seems that you are wronged?"
Anran stood beside Jian Zhi, feeling wronged: "Suisui, how can I be sorry for you? You threatened like this. Do you know how painful it is for to steal my brother's things against my conscience?"
Shen Xingsui watched his performance and laughed. "Hilarious."
Seeing this response, Anran was downright terrified. A little inexplicable uneasiness surfaced in his heart. He used to plot against Shen Xingsui, but inexplicably this ti, he actually had a feeling that he was going to taste his own dicine.
Sure enough–
Shen Xingsui took out a recording pen from his pocket slowly, he adjusted the tune, and released the recording, "If you agree, I will think about it. I, I even will find a way to get the key to the room and turn off the monitoring. But for the rest, I can't help you in any way. Give two days, and I will call you. At that ti, my father and elder brothers are going on a business trip, and there is no one at ho."
"…"
After the recording was played, Anran's face turned even paler.
Jian Zhi looked at the people around him in disbelief, the image of his younger brother who had always been well-behaved and sensible seed to be completely shattered at this mont.
Anran quickly said, "Ge, listen to my explanation…"
