Shen Tang's unexpected behavior surprised not only Shen Yu but also Shen Boyuan.
According to reason, Second Young Master Zhou shouldn't have gone to complain to his mother.
Both of them had obvious guilty expressions, and Uncle Shen Boyuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter? Are you hiding sothing from us?"
Shen Tang and Shen Yu exchanged a glance, but neither of them understood the secret signal the other was trying to convey.
"Well..." Shen Tang hesitated.
"No!" Shen Yu firmly interrupted.
Shen Boyuan raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
Shen Tang and Shen Yu exchanged another glance and quickly changed their tune, "No, nothing!"
"Yes, you do!"
Shen Tang: "..."
This was an utter ss. It was rare to see them so out of sync.
Shen Yu covered his face directly, realizing they were in deep trouble.
Before they could confess honestly, Shen Boyuan had already grabbed his belt and started to lash out.
Auntie Shen stood by and turned a blind eye, ignoring Shen Yu's pleading gaze.
"Oh, so it's your fault for corrupting your sister! I asked you to protect her, not lead her astray."
As Shen Boyuan was about to strike, Shen Tang reached out and blocked him.
The whip wasn't too heavy, but it wasn't light either. Shen Tang's small arm imdiately turned red.
She hadn't even done anything, but the Shen family was worried sick.
Auntie Shen pushed Uncle Shen aside and blew on Shen Tang's arm, "Does it hurt?"
Then, she glared fiercely at Shen Boyuan, "You can't even hit a person properly. Besides your diocre calligraphy, what else can you do?"
Now it was Shen Boyuan who felt guilty.
"I didn't expect..." he started to say.
"You still dare to speak?"
After Shen Boyuan finished, Auntie Shen turned her gaze to Shen Yu, "What are you standing there for? Go get the dicine!"
"Oh, right, right."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."
As soon as Shen Tang spoke, Auntie Shen secretly pinched her hand, "Good child, don't talk nonsense. It hurts badly."
Shen Tang blinked and received the signal from Auntie Shen, so she changed her statent, "Well, it does hurt a little, but I can bear it..."
On the other hand, Uncle Shen Boyuan felt heartbroken, completely forgetting about the previous matter. Now, he only blad himself and felt guilty.
When Shen Yu returned with the dicine, he heard Shen Boyuan's words and also felt heartbroken, "Sister Tang, you don't have to shield . I'm used to being beaten by him!"
The three words "used to" revealed so much heartache.
Uncle Shen Boyuan, who was standing beside them, beca unhappy and quickly explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Tang Tang. I've only hit this brat less than ten tis since he was young. Don't believe him."
Shen Tang couldn't distinguish what was true and what was false, so she looked at Auntie Shen, whose expression was also surprised.
"What? Don't you beat Shen Yu every day?"
Shen Boyuan raised the belt in his hand, "You little brat, you're making up stories about everywhere!"
He didn't even dare to think about what others thought of him.
Shen Tang felt a bit worried, but Auntie Shen held her and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Don't worry, this brat has tough skin and can't be beaten to death."
Shen Tang fell silent, "..."
Indeed, he couldn't be beaten to death.
Shen Boyuan could be seen chasing after Shen Yu from behind, while Shen Yu was running ahead, leaping and bounding like a monkey, making one suspect that his true species was actually a monkey.
In the end, Shen Yu won because of his youthfulness.
Shen Boyuan, being older, couldn't run for long before he started panting heavily, exhausted.
"You...you brat..." Shen Boyuan said between breaths.
Shen Yu was also exhausted. "Don't scold , I'm afraid you might pass out all of a sudden."
Shen Tang thought to herself, feeling that it was not unjust for him to be beaten.
After this incident, Shen Boyuan had already forgotten about what happened earlier, but Aunt Zhou still rembered.
She whispered, "Tang Tang, what happened between you and that Second Young Master Zhou? Aunt Zhou isn't prying into your privacy. It's just that his mother wants to et you, and I'm worried."
"Is his mother very formidable?"
Aunt Zhou's eyes flashed with admiration. "She is indeed formidable. It's just a pity that she didn't marry well and gave birth to a son who isn't that great. There is no successor."
Shen Tang nodded in agreent. Zhou Jin wasn't impressive indeed. His mother probably didn't expect to give birth to a piece of roast pork.
Shen Tang explained in detail what happened earlier and then apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive at that ti and didn't consider the family."
Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't talk nonsense. You don't need to bla yourself. You did the right thing in this matter. You may not know, but that Second Young Master Zhou isn't a good person. He has flirted with countless won. Maybe it's because you're the first person who made him leave in anger that his mother beca curious and wanted to et you."
Shen Tang sighed, "I hope so."
The eting place was a bar, which surprised Shen Tang.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, soone led her to a private room.
After entering the room, Shen Tang saw a sexy lady with fiery red lips. She thought she had co to the wrong place and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I must have co to the wrong place."
The lady smiled and walked over, extending her hand. "No, you're not mistaken. Miss Shen, I am Zhou Jin's mother."
Zhou Jin was the Second Young Master Zhou.
Shen Tang was taken aback for a mont before extending her hand. "You look so young."
No woman can resist sincere complints.
"Really?"
"Really, you look like a big sister who is a few years older than , and you don't look anything like Zhou Jin." Shen Tang sincerely said.
Zhou Jin was quite handso, but compared to his mother, it was like night and day, a world of difference.
"Hehe, I take good care of myself. Have a seat."
Madam Zhou opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Shen Tang, and pushed it over. "Have so?"
Shen Tang didn't refuse and took a sip. It was sweet and delightful.
She couldn't help herself and drank it all in one gulp.
Then she looked at the wine bottle, feeling a bit incomplete.
Madam Zhou poured her another glass. "Drink slowly, this wine packs a punch."
This ti, Shen Tang just took a small sip.
"I still don't know why you wanted to see ..."
"I heard that my son was left speechless by you when you confronted him, and I thought you were interesting. Now that I see you, you really are quite intriguing."
Shen Tang awkwardly smiled.
"I did get carried away back then..."
"But, I do have a favor to ask this ti."
"What is it?"
Madam Zhou set down her wine glass and said, "I want you to help discipline my son."
Shen Tang was taken aback; she felt like she must have misheard.
"You didn't mishear . I want you to take charge of him. You know very well about his terrible reputation. I don't expect him to beco a great person, but I hope he stops embarrassing everywhere."
Shen Tang opened her mouth wide, pointing at herself in disbelief. ", discipline him?"
"Yes, you are the first person in these many years whom he sowhat fears."
Shen Tang thought to herself, that's because you two rarely et.
In the end, it all boiled down to her sharp tongue, right? There are plenty of people in the world who can scold others like her.
Perhaps guessing what Shen Tang was thinking, Madam Zhou smiled and said, "I'm sorry for checking your background without your consent. After considering everything, I believe you're the most suitable."
Shen Tang felt a bit displeased deep down. What's the point of asking for permission after the investigation is already done anyway?
Just as she was about to refuse, Madam Zhou said, "Twenty million."
"After the matter is done, I'll give you twenty million."
Shen Tang's firm refusal instantly wavered.
"What if I fail?"
"Then it will be only five million."
Suddenly, Shen Tang felt a dryness in her mouth.
Is this what wealthy people are like? They call five million "only"?
After downing the rest of her red wine, she heard herself say, "I agree."
Hilarious, only a fool would refuse.
Even though she has money now, who would reject more money?
"But, my thods might be a bit... you mustn't get angry."
"You can scold and beat him as you like. If he dares to bully you, co find ."
With that reassuring statent, Shen Tang was completely at ease.
Hehehe, Second Young Master Zhou, here I co!
