When Shen Manzhi took a taxi back to the Shen family's villa, the Shen family had already surrounded Young Master Qin for half an hour.
Qin Yanfeng sat on the sofa and saw a woman walking in with a key in her hand.
It was the woman he saw at the billiard hall an hour ago.
In other words, he was half an hour late and this woman was an hour late.
Shen Manzhi stepped into the living room and threw the key on the shoe cabinet with a clatter.
She shifted her gaze to the young man sitting at the head of the sofa. His long legs were wrapped in suit pants, and he was leaning against the sofa in a relaxed manner. He was looking at her with an indifferent expression.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but everyone in the room seemed to be relieved, and the originally stiff atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
The old lady was sitting at the side, and she looked a little unhappy when she saw Shen Manzhi.
Xie Yulan glanced at the eldest young master of the Qin family and stood up to stand beside Shen Manzhi." Manzhi, come and sit. This is Qin Yanfeng, Mr. Qin."
Shen Manzhi stood in the living room abruptly. He looked around and saw that there was only a seat next to Shen Luo. Jiang Xu hadn't returned. When he walked to the only empty seat, she nodded at the man politely and said lightly," Good evening, Mr. Qin."
"Sister, you're back so late. Did something delay you?" Shen Luo's gaze on Qin Yanfeng's body was indistinct until Shen Manzhi came in. Then, she turned back and looked at her gently.
Shen Manzhi did not even bat an eyelid. He rested his chin on his hand and said," Yeah, he went to disco dancing."
Shen Luo was speechless.
The elders of the Shen family could not scold her in front of the Qin family at this time, so they tacitly did not say that she should not have.
Initially, he thought that the Qin family did not value him and could easily control him. However, in just half an hour, they talked about his family background, career, real estate, investment, and the latest trends. Shen Duanwen almost could not handle it. Xie Yulan and Shen Luo could not talk about these topics. Only Old Madam Shen, who used to have a foothold in the business world, knew a thing or two. She could not help but admire this young man's vision and ability.
Shen Duanwen, who had been in the business world for so many years, realized that this man was not a simple man.
Shen Duanwen looked at Shen Manzhi coldly.
Shen Manzhi rushed back in time for dinner. It was obvious that tonight was just a trap. She had already reserved enough time for the Shen family to talk to Qin Yanfeng. Whether the Qin family, who had just returned from abroad, was a pushover or a rich young master, was also related to their interests and stand.
As for what to talk about, she was not interested in how the conversation went.
In the end, it was the old madam who said that since she was back, they should eat. Only then did the situation change.
The Shen family usually didn't talk much during meals, but Shen Duanwen had to take the initiative to speak in view of the test just now. Xie Yulan also agreed. The man from the Qin family was a man of few words and casually responded.
Shen Manzhi sat next to Qin Yanfeng and ate by himself. When he looked up, he could see Shen Luo looking at the man beside her.
Shen Luo saw that no one spoke, so she smiled gently and said," Sister, can you lend me the Phantom from two days ago? I have a friend who has always wanted to buy this car. I'll drive it over to him to see if it's okay. I don't understand why boys like this."
Xie Yulan didn't know what kind of car these cars were. She said," Tell your dad to buy you whatever you want. What if your sister's car is broken?"
Shen Luo put down her chopsticks and chuckled." Mom, this car isn't easy to buy. You might not be able to buy it even if you have money in the country. Didn't Sister just come back in this car two days ago? I thought some uncle was sending her, so I thought..."
"Why? Do you want an uncle to give you one?" Shen Manzhi interrupted her slowly and looked up at Shen Luo's unconcealable sneer." Since you know that there's a market but no price, are you going to show off your capital to your little lover? Tell them you found an uncle who's willing to spend money for you?"
“......”Shen Luo choked for a moment. She looked at Shen Duanwen, pursed her lips, and said," Sister, I didn't mean that…"
Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes and clicked his tongue. As expected, Shen Duanwen scolded him," Your sister is still young. What nonsense are you spouting?!"
" I just want to know if Sister has met some big shot who could come back in that car and drive it into our garage. I'm just curious and don't have any other intentions…" Shen Luo had a gentle appearance that would make the moon shy and the flowers shy. At this time, drooling was the most lovable.
Old Shen Furen was already angry." Shen Luo, eat well."
Shen Manzhi wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said in a frivolous tone," What do you mean by that? Why don't you make it clear, Sister? Otherwise, everyone will really think that you don't know anything. You're really good at pretending."
Everyone looked at Shen Luo when they heard that. Her eyes were still filled with tears, and her expression was a little dull and comical when her thoughts were suddenly exposed.
Only then did Xie Yulan realize Shen Luo's purpose. She just wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Shen Manzhi." Manzhi, which gentleman really gave you that car?" I heard from Luoluo that this car is priceless. Although our family can't compare to those big families, we still have face. Don't be deceived."
She didn't say what she was cheated of. Young girls were cheated of money and sex everywhere.
Shen Manzhi leaned back against the chair and said mockingly," I was wondering why Sister is so stupid. So she takes after Mother."
"Rebel!" Shen Duanwen could tell that Shen Manzhi had scolded him twice. He was about to slam his chopsticks on the table when he saw the man beside him. In the end, he held back his anger and did not scold him." I'm really sorry, Young Master Qin. My daughter has been neglecting her discipline all these years, and it's inevitable that she will argue. Please forgive me after we get married."
It went without saying who my daughter was talking about.
Shen Manzhi looked up to see if his so-called father felt guilty.
However, she only heard the man beside her say indifferently," Instead of blaming the sharp-tongued person, why don't you ask the person who spread the rumor what his intentions are first?"
Qin Yanfeng's words made Shen Luo's face turn pale. She suddenly looked at the man, as if there was no silver here.
He put down the napkin he had wiped and slowly tidied up his sleeves." Today, I've finally seen the usual atmosphere of the Shen family. But Uncle Shen, men shouldn't interfere in the conversation between women. Someone has to be taught a lesson, don't you think so?"
Shen Duanwen's face turned red and white, and he could only agree.
The meal had ended here. The old madam asked Shen Manzhi and Qin Yanfeng to take a walk outside to end the awkward atmosphere and give them a chance to be alone.
The two of them had yet to speak.
Shen Luo looked at their backs as they left. She turned to the old madam and said sensibly," Grandma, will Sister's personality make Mr. Qin unhappy? Why don't I tag along?"
The old madam held her crutch." If I follow him, I'll be scolded again?" You provoked her today. When did you ever think about the big picture?"
Shen Luo's face paled a little. She bit her lower lip and replied," But Grandma, she's been away for so many years. Who knows where she got the money from? That car might have been used by some powerful person to make her happy. Isn't Sister embarrassing the Shen family by doing all these things outside?"
Old Shen Furen turned sideways and gave her a slap.
"Grandma!" Shen Luo had been slapped twice in the past two days. She was old and didn't have much strength, or else she would have been swollen.
"You're slandering her reputation just because of a car. She's just a girl of her age. Your sister said that to you, and you still feel wronged. You have your parents to dote on you, but what does she have? She's been away for so many years. How do you know she doesn't have money? Your father spent all his money on you. When did he ever think of having a daughter outside?!"
Old Shen Furen was furious and her chest heaved up and down. This was the first time she was so angry, but she was her granddaughter after all. She couldn't bring herself to apologize." Shen Luo, the Shen family isn't a prestigious family, but I hope you remember the basic etiquette, righteousness, and shame."
Shen Luo lowered her head with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with resentment." I understand, Grandma."
